Returning home from the Frans residence, I drove half-sleepy Kirana to her room. I pressed the light button, and instantly the room that was dominated by pink was bright.
“Come, Son. Change clothes, then brush your teeth, then Kirana can sleep, okay?”
Kirana nodded, I accompanied her to the bathroom for a toothbrush. Then, Kirana got into her bed.
“Papa before bed read the storybook, please,” pinta Kirana as I pull the blanket.
I went to the small bookcase in the corner of the room. Take one of the neatly arranged storybooks. And sit on the edge of Kirana's bed.
Coincidentally the book I picked up tells of a mermaid who fell in love with a prince. Kirana listened to the stories I read with an occasional laugh as I imitated the dialogue within the book.
And I read the book to the last page, however, Kirana's eyes are still perfectly rounded.
“Now Kirana sleeps huh? Sweet dreams, son of Papa,” said I who then kissed Kirana's forehead.
“Papa, please teach me swimming.”
“Swimming?” my ul.
Kirana nodded, “I want to be able to swim like a mermaid in the story.”
I rubbed Kirana's bangs, gave a smile, and nodded. Kirana suddenly exclaimed with excitement. He put his hands around me.
“Well, by any chance tomorrow Papa's off. So we can learn swimming.”
“Thank you, Papa.”
“Now Kirana is sleeping. Oh yes, do not forget to read the prayer first.”
Kirana nodded, then raised her hand.
“Yes Allah, thank you for giving me a good Papa and Mama with me, love me, and always protect me. Kirana loves them. So, please protect them as well.”
I smiled at Kirana's prayer. Once again I kissed Kirana on the forehead and hugged her little body.
“You're so smart, son.”
“Iya dong, right I always learn with Papa and Mama.”
Then I left Kirana's room. In the doorway, I turned to make sure for the last time, before I finally turned off the lights and closed the door.
My gaze turned to the reading room located beside Kirana's bedroom. The door in the reading room opened slightly, a light beam of light shone from inside the room, and I faintly heard the sound of music.
It turns out there Alexa is sitting there reading a book, while accompanied by her gawainya who plays saxophone instrumental music.
Alexa raised her head from the pages of the book as I sat in front of her. He smiled, and closed the book. My eyes glanced at the title of the book Alexa read.
Pregnancy guide book.
I grabbed his hands, stroked and kissed the fingers.
“Balin,” says Alexa with hesitation.
I wait for the words from Alexa who is now swallowing her saliva.
“Do you have any desire to..”
“Having a biological child,” I said cut off Alexa's speech.
I know he wants to talk about this. It was clear when he looked at Sunny. I saw from Alexa's eyes that seemed to also be hoping to have a child.
Alexa put her head on my chest, and I grabbed her. Pulling her chin to look at me.
“Tok us to the best obstetrician. We consulted and ran a pregnancy program. Okay well? So don't worry anymore.”
“Actually me... “
I covered Alexa's lips with my index finger. Pull Alexa to stand up. One of our hands is interlocked, one more hand I loop around Alexa's hip.
Slowly we danced with the music still burning from the device. I smiled as Alexa also smiled revealing her teeth.
Alexa spun slowly, and we continued the dance with the body attached to each other. Alexa's body fit perfectly when I hug her. It was as if he was created for me.
I put words of love in front of his ears. The music ended up being replaced with the sounds of the night animals being heard from outside the house. Then I carried Alexa to our bedroom.
I stuck out my leg to close the door, and put Alexa on the bed.
“Balin, I want to talk. Actually I've... “
I didn't allow Alexa to continue because I had smashed those sensual lips.
“Don't say much! When you get pregnant later, take good care of yourself and our child.”
“That's for sure,” says Alexa. “And you won't distinguish Kirana from our child later, right?”
“Of course not. Whether it be my flesh and blood or not, they are both our children.”
“Kira how will Kirana react later if she knows she has a sister?” ask Alexa with a blank look.
“Surely he will be happy. I'm sure it's.”
We smiled at each other, and continued the kiss. My hands do not want to be silent, guerrilla to every inch of Alexa's body curves that emit a small snort sound many times.
We tasted endlessly, until we felt each other's surging, soul-stirring peak sensations.
I shower Alexa's cheeks with a kiss of good-night.
“My fears one by one are slowly disappearing. I'm sure you can get through your labor later safely,” I muttered when I saw Alexa was half sleepy.
“And I'm not worried about Harsa. Two years he disappeared. Hopefully next he doesn't come back to shadow our lives.”
Then we fell asleep hugging each other under the covers.
***
Under a shady tree, just across the street from a large European-style house, a man smokes while he watches a couple dancing on the second floor.
The man watched from a glass window whose curtains had not been closed, in a warm room filled with books the couple hugged each other tightly.
The smoke of cigarettes evaporates in the air. The man's lips revealed an evil grin.
“Don't think I won't take revenge, Balin. All this time I waited for you to let your guard down.”
The couple in the house moved to another room, along with the end of the cigarette butts.
Dropped the short cigarette butts on the grass, then stepped until crushed melted to blend with the moist soil.
“I purposely gave you two years, so you thought I would no longer bother your family. But remember! I've always stalked your family without you noticing.”
The man walked backwards leaving the house before him.
“Blessed be all, Balin. Because soon sadness will come to your life.”
“Endless sadness.”
