" I told..... Daddy often skipped school, so he had to repeat the lesson. Until it's finished, it can follow us "
" What ???!!!! ", Rayhan glared in disbelief and snorted in annoyance. " He believes it ?"
" Of course ". Nilam finally finished with the last step, which is to close the wound with a new sterile case. He tidied up his equipment, leaving Rayhan still grumbling in annoyance.
As a father, he felt Nilam had hurt his performance. What else is this in front of his son. " Can't you say anything cooler about me" she protested.
Patchouli who came back with a glass of water and a bag of medicine, just smiled amusedly. After reading the medicine etiquette, take it one by one, then give it to Rayhan who was still grumbling annoyed.
" Drink ", while giving a glass of water to her husband. " I have to say what else?... 'is it almost DO because I never entered, then moved from Medicine to Planology .. I am not wrong ? "
" Yes siiih "
" Last ... Alend, already very trusting ", Nilam held back an amused smile.
" You know, this is my second year in London. I took the S2 and also worked here ".
Nilam was surprised to hear Rayhan's words. A moment later he smiled softly.
" I never stopped believing in you. You must have achieved your dream ". Slowly Nilam reached out his hand touching Rayhan's face.
" But you almost destroyed everything..... Your departure, your sister & your whole family are silent ". Rayhan said while holding Nilam's hand to stay on his cheek.
" I was mad at you!!. That night, you said you loved me so much. Forgive me.. At that time I was helpless to protect you .. when you are my responsibility ", Rahyan said as she closed her eyes.
It was as if he wanted to vent his feelings all along, a feeling he had held back for years. Letting Nilam feel what he felt through the soft palms that touched him now.
" I'm sorry my mother Nilam.pardon her." pinta Rayhan lirih.
Nilam pulled his hand, stood hastily and looked awkward. He tried to smile and wipe quickly the corner of clear water in his eyes. He tried to get away from the man who was still sitting in front of him.
But Rayhan who read the gelagat, did not give him a chance to move even though he was standing. As fast as his breath, Rayhan had returned to pull the wife in the arms. Put that pretty face to her chest. While he himself, put his chin on top of the crown of Nilam. Comfortable.....
" Why not come back. It must be very heavy yes.I'm sorry I'm not near you", whispered Rayhan finally.
"Three days I forgot to take my pills. My contract is two years, and I know I'm pregnant after three months here. I can what ? "
Rayhan responded to his wife's words by tightening his arms. Smell gently the fine and fragrant strands of hair. As if to tell about his longing.
" I'm sorry dear.I'm sorry ", whispered Rayhan full of pleadings.
" If you had married Arlina or anyone else. The reality ... I'm the one who left you ".
Rayhan pushed Nilam's body slightly away. Without releasing the woman's shoulders from her clutches. Just so he can look into the wife's eyes.
" I have never loved another woman, other than Nilam. Until whenever ", asserted Rayhan.
As Rayhan's lips drew closer to Nilam's, the woman turned her face away. Until finally the kiss landed lightly on the cheek only. Rayhan protested Nilam's refusal. But the woman held back the husband's dense, hard chest with her hands clenched.
" It's night. let's take a break" he said.
" Sports can also be ... ", Rayhan said as he glanced teasingly.
" Don't keep me busy by sewing your wounds many times. Let's go to bed. Change your clothes first. That's your room .... ", nilam showed me the room from which he came out with his medical devices.
" We're not rooming .. yaaah ", Rayhan's downcast disappointed.
His expression was like that of a child who had canceled getting a piece of chocolate. This made Nilam giggle amused. He pulled Rayhan's hand towards the room in question.
" Sleep... tomorrow morning, I also need to talk to Alendra. Set her heart to welcome you. Rest... display your best performance as good daddy tomorrow ".
The next day. Make a clear sparkle in the rainwater last night that mingles with the morning dew.
Nilam opened the windows in his house and let the scent of wet soil fill the room. On the child's chair beside the dining table, sat Syailendra Thoriq watching her mother with an impatient look.
Just after the boy woke up from his sleep. Nilam whispered something that made the pair of eyes round adorable. " There's Daddy ... he came because he misses us", that's what Nilam whispered.
" Mom.... Can you now ? ", the boy's sulk.
Since knowing the presence of his father, he was very impatient to meet. Even took the initiative to wake her up. But Nilam prevented it, given Rayhan's condition that had just been injured.
" Yes.tap the door slowly and .. ", you have not yet finished his speech
Jeglegh. A towering figure with slightly wet hair and a disheveled yet masculine look stood on the doorstep.
" Uncle??!!!. ... Are you my Daddy ??? ", the boy said in disbelief.
" What is the message of Syailendra? ... We meet again. Don't call uncle.... I'm your Daddy ".
The boy gaped funnyly, his face looking even more adorable. Patchouli helped him get off the chair that was slightly taller than the other chairs. When the child would run to his father, Nilam held him for a moment.
" Daddy's arm is hurt. Don't ask for a sling first ".
Alend or Syailendra Thoriq nodded before taking a definite step towards the father. Rayhan squirms and rests on both knees. Spreading out both hands, hinting the child to immediately enter in his arms.
Nilam smiled and saw all of that. The Daddy you missed is now hugging you son, whispered his heart.
" daddy... "
" Yes dear.it's your daddy" said Rayhan, tightening his arms.
" Daddy don't go far anymore .. just stay here ", the request sounds sincere.
" Yes, son. We won't be far away anymore huh "
" But..... daddy's school is done ?? Will not graduate again ". That sentence was so innocent but struck Rayhan's heart. While Nilam held back the laughter of hearing it.
" Daddy is now at school here. Next month is finished "
" Lend.. take your daddy to breakfast together. In a moment your invitation bus comes ", exclaimed Nilam forcing father & son to let go of his embrace.
" Can I take her ? ", pinta Rayhan
Nilam paused for a moment, then nodded giving an answer.
The morning was so warm......
The three of them talked affectionately. Like a canvas scratched by cheerful colors, the atmosphere in this house.
See how the fruit of love takes away all feelings of pain and sadness. It even removes the distance that once separated two hearts.
" Mom ... means I can have a sister, right ? "
What's..... Nilam and Rayhan were both bogged down by the child's question. Aahhh. Isn't this the usual thing that the first child asks ?
