RTB 2: I Want You Back

119

"We're finally home." Avril said so sumringah as Alvi moved her into a wheelchair.

"At home you're still being treated and there's gonna be a doctor checking you out every time." Reply Alvi then grabbed Zeeya and gave it to Avril.

"What matters today is that we can celebrate Rei's birthday. I can't wait for Al. You've prepared the cake, haven't you? You told Aldi too, right? Invited kids are coming, right?" As if she did not want to hear her husband's answer, Avril continued to give consecutive questions to Alvi.

"All of. And I've asked Aldi to come 2 hours before the show."

"OK fine. Thank you my husband.." his candlestick made Alvi sneer and smile thinly in response to Avril.

At the Avril residence, Aldi went down and he was so amazed to see the event that had been prepared by Avril. He did not think about the reason why Alvi asked him to come to his house.

"Daddy.... Is that for Eifan? Eifan's Daddy's birthday?" However, instead of answering, Aldi was staring as if he had not heard his son's question.

"Daddy?" This time, Reifan pulled Aldi's finger and managed to make him realize from his daydream.

"What dear?"

"Father and Mommy...."

"Sut. don't call it that. If you don't want to call Uncle and Aunty, you better not call them one bit. If Rei wants to say hi, say hi." Aldi quickly interrupted Reifan's unspoken expression. And according to Reifan nodded then followed wherever Aldi took him.

After some time, it was seen Alvi's car had entered the yard of the house and its guards. Seeing Avril waiting for Alvi to bring a wheelchair, Aldi immediately approached Avril and asked Zeeya to be given to her. With pleasure and full of trust, Avril gave her daughter to Aldi who was clearly experienced in being a father. Aldi was enthusiastic to see the poignancy of a small baby sleeping on his lap so he felt he had to see it with Dinda.

"Eifan wants to see Daddy." Pinta Reifan can't wait to see the figure of the tiny baby he keeps talking to while in the womb.

"Beautiful sister.play with sister come on!" Reifan invites Zeeya to play.

"Eh where can Rey. Zeeya is a baby." Aldi immediately advised Reifan not to speak.

"Ciya?" Simultaneously, Reifan slightly tilted his head and stared innocently at Aldi.

"No son. Zeeya."

"Yes."

"Oh.. hahaha Zeeya."

"Ciya." Reifan and Aldi keep replying to each other. Reifan thought Aldi was joking with him so he kept calling Zeeya with Ciya.

"Rei.. hear a bundle! Zeey! Z. E. E. Y. A. ZEEYAH! Z yes! Not C." Obviously Dinda was taken seriously by Reifan who immediately listened to Dinda's explanation of Zeeya's name.

"Z... Ziya?"

"Almost the same baby. But not exactly."

"But Eifan wants to call Ciya okay?"

"Can! Until you can call him right, call as you please. Just don't be weird." Said Alvi giving an answer when he saw Aldi who was confused.

In short, the show began. And as long as Reifan was there, he didn't call Avril Mommy. Reifan instead made physical contact when he wanted to talk to Avril, such as pulling her shirt, patting her arm, or playing her finger. Despite feeling something stuck in his heart, Avril did not want to think negatively, she put aside her expectations and turned to focus on seeing Reifan from a distance because she was not allowed to be in a crowded place. Avril chose to breastfeed Zeeya in the living room which is not allowed for anyone who will enter.

"Sister Rei's birthday dear." Avril said to the squirming Zeeya. For some reason, Avril suddenly saddened as she remembered Reifan's birthday. Obviously, 4 years ago, he was still able to talk briefly with Syifa before Syifa finally went in Aldi's own lap.

"Shypha. I think I'll catch up with you too. If you're alive, I'd like to ask you about your news. Today, Reifan's birthday, and I'm sad. Sorry for this year I can't make a pilgrimage to your grave." Inner Avril slowly felt dew flowing down her cheeks. Amidst the roaring cries he endured, Zeeya suddenly cried loudly unsettled. Hearing the sound of Zeeya's cry, one of the people guarding at the door immediately called Alvi because he did not want to enter the room without Alvi's permission.

Hearing her subordinate's report, Alvi immediately entered the house and approached Avril who was trying to calm down the crying Zeeya.

"Why baby? Why is Zeeya crying?"

"I don't know Al. Suddenly Zeeya cried like this."

"And why are you crying too?"

"I'm reminded of Syifa Al."

"Don't think of anything. Here's Zeeya I'm carrying!" Without a second thought, Avril immediately gave Zeeya to Alvi who immediately petted Zeeya to stop her crying.

"Daughter don't cry, baby. Poor Bubun." Alvi's words little by little can relieve Zeeya's cries.

Realizing the absence of the homeowner, Famela and Deyan try to make sure that there is nothing wrong with the assumption. They suspect that Avril may return the drop so Alvi has to leave the event and accompany his wife. Politely, Famela asks the guards to call Alvi and wait for him in the living room. And after making sure Zeeya was fast asleep next to Avril who was already calm, Alvi left her to meet Famela.

"Al... Avril okay?" Famela asked for a moment when Alvi's face was already visible.

"Yes. There was only a little problem."

"What's the condition of the drop again?" Deyan asked now.

"No. His condition was stable, only he remembered Syifa. So, her emotions ran out of control until Zeeya was carried away crying."

"Where is your daughter now? If you don't mind, let me take care of her as long as Avril feels her emotions are out of control." Alvi smiled at Famela's offer which sounded sincere to want to help Avril.

"It just so happens that Zeeya is asleep. And Avril is calm."

"If you need anything, don't mind Al. Not because you're richer, you don't want to ask me for help." Deyan then patted Alvi laughing on the shoulder in response.

"alright. When do I hesitate?"

"Hahaha yes? You're always just as happy." Reply Deyan so that the two throw jokes at each other in front of Famela.

"If you want to meet Avril, she's in the guest room. Sorry I have to go there again. Aldi would probably feel awkward if I wasn't around."

"All right."

Hearing Deyan's reply, Alvi immediately returned to the event to accompany Aldi dna Dinda. To be honest, Alvi also felt that Reifan was a little different today.
