Rainbow At The End of Longing

54. Expelled Indirectly

As per their agreement earlier, this afternoon Bayu followed Mas Awan and Keinan to return to Papa Surya's house. Bayu drove his own car, following the car driven by Mas Awan and Keinan from behind.

Arriving at Papa Surya's house, Mas Awan then invited Bayu to go inside. Mama Wulan and I were of course very surprised to see Bayu coming along with Mas Awan and Keinan.

"Assalamu'alaikum," greetings Mas Awan, Keinan, and Bayu together once entered the house.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" answered Mama Wulan and I.

"Eh," I was shocked when I saw Bayu who came along with Mas Awan and Keinan.

"Well, really," Mama Wulan also looked surprised.

"Mother, Oma, Dedek Angkasa," cried Keinan cheerfully as usual.

For a while my focus and Mama Wulan were distracted by Keinan. Keinan kissed the back of my right hand and Mama Wulan alternately. After that Keinan also immediately approached baby Angkasa who was in the crib and played with his sister.

"Have you washed your hands yet?" it reminds me of Keinan.

"You know what, Bun. Earlier in the front before entering the house, my brother washed his hands on the faucet, "Keinan replied while still fun to kiss the cheeks of baby Angkasa and play the little hands of his sister.

"Siip. Pinter's Mother's son," I said.

"Honey, this is Bayu. He said he wanted to nengokin Angkasa as well as congratulate you, too," said Mas Awan later, answering to my confusion and Mama Wulan.

"Oh, yes, Mas," I said a little stiffly, still confused and amazed as well.

Fortunately Mama Wulan is more alert. Mama Wulan then invited Bayu to sit first.

"Come on, baby Bayu. Please sit down first" said Mama Wulan.

"Yes, Aunt. Thank you," replied Bayu.

Bayu then sat himself on the sofa of the family room. The clouds came to me immediately.

"You make Bayu drink first, baby. Make it for me too. Keinan change clothes for a while," said Mas Awan half whispered to me.

"I-iya, Mas," I said, softly.

"Ma, leave the space first, yes. Please accompany Bayu for a moment. Let Shofi make a drink. I also want to do Keinan change clothes first to the top," said Mas Awan to Mama Wulan, already with a tone of voice as usual.

"Oh, okay, Wan. You are calm anyway," replied Mama Wulan, as if you had understood what the hidden meaning of the words of her son was.

"I want Keinan to change clothes first yes, Bay," said Mas Awan to Bayu as well.

"Yes, Wan. Please," reply Bayu.

"Come, brother, we change clothes first, yuk," Mas Awan asked Keinan.

"OK, Papa," Keinan replied.

Mas Awan then took Keinan's hand. Nodding quietly to me, the three of us then stepped out of the living room together. I turned towards the kitchen, while Mas Awan and Keinan were climbing the stairs leading to the top floor.

I made tea for Bayu, Mas Awan, and Mama Wulan half-heartedly. There was a sense of annoyance that I felt when I saw my ex-husband coming to this house along with Mas Awan and Keinan earlier.

Not long after, suddenly Mas Awan had approached me in the kitchen. And as usual, Mas Awan immediately hugged my body from behind.

"Why manyun, hmm?" asked Mas Awan after kissing my cheek at a glance.

"Keinan, Mommy?" I asked back, asking Keinan, because earlier Mas Awan said he wanted to accompany Keinan change clothes.

"Keinan is still changing clothes above," replied Mas Awan.

"alone?" ask again.

"Our son is big, baby. I can also study independently. So you don't have to worry. So why is this a manyun gini face, hmm?" replied Mas Awan and asked me again.

"Why do I have to bring Bayu here anyway, Mas? Make bete know no," I complained.

"Sorry, dear. He said he wanted to nengokin Angkasa as well as congratulate you. He also wanted to spend a little time with Keinan. Yes, Mas can not deny his wishes and good intentions," replied Mas Awan.

"But I'm a sprain, Mas. Especially if you remember what he did yesterday. Males really feels like he has to face her again," I said to take out my teeth.

"Yes, honey, I know. The story of Bayu who had tried to approach you again pas Mas was not there yesterday, Mas also already know the problem. So you calm down, baby. Anyway later Mas will always nemenin you and take care of you, so Bayu absolutely no chance to be able to approach you again. Yes baby, yes," said Mas Awan reassuring me.

"Yes, honey. I promise."

"If he can, he won't be here for long. I don't want to hold him for long, Mas" I asked again.

"Yes, baby, yeah. Later let Mas find a reason yes, so that Bayu does not linger here," reply Mas Awan.

I nodded my head as my hand stirred the tea in front of me.

"Honey, we can't refuse someone's good intentions. Just be patient for a minute, yeah. But I promise, it won't be long. He will always accompany you beside you. Mas will not give any gap to Bayu to be able to try to approach you. Yes baby, yes?" continue the Clouds again.

"Yes, Mommy" I replied in the end.

"Yes, let's go back to the front. Poor Space left too long," Mas Awan asked with a smile.

Mas Awan released his embrace to me. I nodded my head with a smile as well, returning a smile from my husband earlier.

Me and Mas Awan then stepped back into the living room again.

"Please drink it, Bay," I said after finishing putting the tea cup on the sofa table.

"Yes, thank you, Shofi" said Bayu.

I nodded my head and smiled in response. I then sat down next to Mama Wulan who was holding baby Angkasa at this time. Mas Awan sat on the single sofa next to me, facing off against Bayu at this moment.

Not long after, Keinan came down from the top floor. Keinan came back to baby Angkasa and played with his little hands, looking very anxious.

"Oh yes, congratulations to Shofi for the birth of baby Angkasa. Hopefully baby Angkasa later can grow up to be a virtuous and devoted child to both parents, aamiin," said Bayu, congratulating and praying for the good for baby Angkasa in the future.

"Aamiin Ya'a robbal 'aalamiin," said I, Mas Awan, and Mama Wulan together, guarantee the Bayu do'a.

"Thank you, Bay," I said.

"Yes, equally," Bayu said with a smile.

Mas Awan then invited Bayu to talk. As he promised earlier, Mas Awan did not give any chance to Bayu to be able to chat with me. Even every time Bayu tried to invite me to chat by asking about baby Angkasa, it was Mama Wulan who would first answer the question from Bayu.

I put on a thin smile. I feel so grateful in my heart for having a husband and mother-in-law who understand me so much.

Not long after, baby Angkasa cried loudly from thirst.

"Honey, Space seems to be thirsty. He made the clock bobok too, right. You bring the Space up, so he can look just as bad first," said Mas Awan to me.

"Yes, Mas" I replied with a sumringah.

I silently smiled. My husband took advantage of this opportunity. I then took over baby Angkasa from the sling of Mama Wulan.

"Shofi take Space up first yes, Ma," I told Mama Wulan.

"Yes. The hunting was done so that it could be spoiled again him," said Mama Wulan.

"Yes, Ma. I'm sorry, Bay, I'm staying first" I said to Bayu as well.

"Eh, I-yes, Shofi. No pa-pa really," replied Bayu.

I then left the family room.

"Papa, sister is also sleepy, want to poop around Papa," said Keinan who I can still hear as well.

"Well, but there's still Bayu's father, brother," said Mas Awan.

"But sister sleepy, Pa," whined Keinan.

I smiled again a little. My son was just as smart as his father.

"Yes, Wan. Pity Keinan to whine that way. So sleepy for him. You were kelonin first. No pa-pa, boy Bayu?" mama Wulan said at once asking Bayu's opinion.

"Eh, i-iya, Auntie, not pa-pa. Yes, Wan, you kelonin Keinan aja. I will go home first if so. Tomorrow I come again to meet Keinan," said Bayu in the end, succumbing.

"Yes, Bay. Sorry, yes," said Mas Awan.

And finally, Bayu then decided to go home. Honestly, Bayu feels very arrogant at this time. Indirectly he was expelled from the House of Clouds, albeit in a subtle way.
