RTB 2: I Want You Back

111

A few weeks later, Dinda is no longer in the store, she is too afraid if she meets Sean who might see her again. All this time, he accompanied Reifan at home without going anywhere. They just play, and do activities like Mother and Son. Dinda tried to make Reifan's favorite cake this afternoon while waiting for Aldi to come home from work. If Reifan misses Avril or Ravendra, Dinda chooses to make a video call only. He had no intention of taking Reifan out because of his fear of Sean. During Dinda making a cake, Reifan was seen engrossed himself in the living room watching his favorite TV show. Because it was late afternoon, Dewi who had just returned from her show, then felt curious about the fragrance that smelled on her nose.

"What is your mother doing?" Ask Dewi with a slight seduce across the table where Dinda cooks.

"I made Rei Ma's favorite cake."

"Definitely delicious. Mama took a shower for a while! Mama will help you."

"What's wrong Ma. Just grilling. Mama took a shower in peace and then danced beautifully." Her candanya made Dewi blush and chuckle before passing from before Dinda.

By nightfall, Aldi had just returned home with his sluggish face. He smiled when he saw his wife was neatly dressed in sleepwear with a distinctive fragrant aroma. Aldi buried his face on Dinda's shoulder with a pampered hug, but it made Dinda amused and uncomfortable.

"Al.. you stink... Take a shower!" Dinda pushed Aldi by looking upset and he looked nauseous in front of Aldi.

"Well...do I smell so bad?" Aldi kissed his own body with a questionable expression.

"Hurry to take a shower. or.." Dinda did not finish her sentence, Aldi immediately entered the bathroom after he threw his briefcase on the bed. Aldi knew what his wife would say if she did not follow his orders. The sound of a shower signifies Aldi has washed his entire body, but Dinda is unceasingly nauseous, he is very sick of kissing Aldi's sweat which he thinks is unusual. After Aldi finished, Dinda was amazed why her husband did not come out of the bathroom.

"Darling.I forgot my towel." Shouted Aldi from inside the room.

"Mode." Reply Dinda also shouted making Aldi sigh lazily.

"Seriously dear! I forget. You told me to take a shower without having to bring a towel."

"Not so is the concept."

"Well, just now bring me a towel"

"Take it yourself."

"alright. You told ya! I'll take it myself." Without waiting for Dinda's answer, Aldi was seen coming out of the bathroom without using any clothes. Dinda turned her face when she saw her husband come out in such a condition.

"Why turn? You want to see, right?"

"Eh who? No yes."

"Why don't you bring a towel?"

"Lazy."

"Ohhh lazy?" A sneaky grin appeared on Aldi's lips which now approached his wife to the bed. "Then, why not?" Said Aldi again, and now he locked his wife who turned frantic got an attack from him.

"Wet the bed. Put on a towel first!" Shouted Dinda as hard as he could to get rid of Aldi and he immediately moved away from the bed. Dinda opted out of the room with her upset face leaving Aldi laughing satisfied to see her sulking.

Dinda who approached Reifan in his room, then tried to teach Reifan to read and write little by little. The goddess, who had just returned from the kitchen, was silent at the doorstep witnessing Dinda's affection which she felt so sincere. Although in stepchildren, but Dinda does not look like a stepmother at all. Even Dewi had forgotten if he ever had a son-in-law before Dinda.

"What's your mom doing?" Aldi asked from behind the Goddess, so he was surprised and almost spilled the water he carried in his hands.

"Ih. You're a surprise. That's.... Mama look at Rei. Easy to understand!" Hearing his mother's reply to Reifan, Aldi smiled and walked over to his wife and son. This succeeded in making Dewi shed tears, because he remembered the late Syifa who might have been seeing the happiness of Aldi and Reifan with the presence of Dinda in their lives.

"J-E-R-A-P-A-H. Giraffe." Said Aldi trying to spell for Reifan to follow him. And sure enough, Reifan followed every letter taught by Aldi.

Dinda remembered something when she glanced at Aldi beside her, and she ran into the kitchen. As he opened the fridge, his gaze continued to search for something he had put inside.

"Loh... Why is it missing? I kept it here." He closed the door and opened it again. Dinda turned back to Reifan's room with a face she couldn't condition from astonishment.

"Why?" Aldi asked who was equally surprised to see Dinda's face.

"So I kept a cake for you. But there's no." The answer is still a face of wonder.

"Eifan eat." Reifan's words were accompanied by his trademark laughter.

"Aihhhh deserves nothing. That's for Daddy, baby!" Dinda slightly scrunched her forehead.

"Mother angry?" Reifan asked, then hugged Dinda with an adorable look.

"No dear. Mother is not angry. But later if Rei wants to eat something, tell Mommy or Oma yes! I'm afraid it's someone else's." Dinda replies to Reifan's embrace, and gives him a little advice that Reifan doesn't act like this anymore. Dinda thought Reifan would sulk because he was nasehati, but instead nodded with a smile and kissed Dinda's cheek making Dinda smile knots because she felt loved by Reifan.

The night was getting late, and Reifan had fallen asleep in Dinda's lap. The exhausted Aldi had fallen asleep on the sofa. After Dinda put Reifan to sleep in bed, she turned to wake Aldi to move into their room.

"Al. come. Rei's asleep." His words shook Aldi's body firmly.

"Huh? C'mon what? Want to make her brother Rei?" Hearing Aldi's murmur, Dinda just glared lazily and patted Aldi's cheek hard.

"Basic bawdy. Let's move to Al's room." Now Dinda turned to pull Aldi's hand and forced him to wake up from his sleep. Although several times yawned, Aldi was forced to move rooms in order to sleep more calmly. Before the two actually slept, Dinda changed the bed sheet first because of the work of Aldi who dirty it. Aldi fell asleep on the sofa again as Dinda was busy making their bed. After finishing, Dinda was annoyed again by Aldi who slept anywhere he liked.

"Al. wake up. Move on first." Dinda shook Aldi's body and patted him hard on the cheek so that Aldi realized and opened his eyes wide. "Move to bed! Or you'll catch a cold." Dinda repeated her orders.

"Hugs!" Again Aldi was spoiled, and he spread his hands like a child who wanted to be carried by his mother. Dinda even glared and left Aldi who was still on the sofa. Seeing his wife who turned indifferent, Aldi went up and ran and hugged Dinda from behind.

"Are you angry?" Aldi's whispers buried his face in Dinda's neck spoiled.

"No. I'm just worried. You're always joking."

"Yes sorry. Emmm so? Won't you?"

"What?"

"She said she wanted to give Rei a sister."

"You're exhausted Al. Should've rested."

"So you refused?"

"Not resisting, but. ehhhhh" Dinda was surprised by herself and did not continue her sentence because Aldi suddenly lifted her body and put her to bed. Dinda covered her chest, she was already scared that Aldi would do it tonight. His eyes followed where Aldi went, until Aldi finally slept beside him tightly hugging his body.

"Good sleep, baby." As usual, Aldi always said it while peeping Dinda's forehead. But this time, not just the forehead, Aldi even gave a kiss of good night on the cheeks and lips of Dinda as a sign of his affection. Aldi slowly closed his eyes with a hand that gently rubbed Dinda's hair until the two fell asleep.
