RTB 2: I Want You Back

124

Alvi pulls the car over in the yard, then takes Zeeya from Avril's lap. He didn't want Avril's grief to affect Zeeya. And at the same time, Dinda came home crying. He could not help his pain being ignored by Avril who might have been disappointed because Reifan called him 'Aunty'.

"Mother?" For a moment, Dinda turned to Reifan by trying to stop his crying and acting like nothing.

"Would it be eaten now?" Tanya Dinda switched the conversation.

"Mother don't cry. Eifan hugs ya!" His words made Dinda want to cry even more. Moreover, when Reifan switched to hugging his stomach and stroking it gently.

"Sister..don't be sad! Mother is not sad either. Brother must take care of Mother until you are born." Hearing Reifan's words, Dinda suddenly trembled because her heart was beating so hard. Where did Reifan get words like this? I don't think he would believe that Reifan said that.

"Yes, Mother. Eifan bring a plate for Mother. We eat cake together." Again Reifan managed to make Dinda touched. The child ran into the kitchen and returned with a small plate and a small spoon.

"Mother. Knife forgot. Hehe." And this time, Dinda chuckles at the adorable behavior of Reifan who forgot to bring a cake knife.

"It's Mother." He said it again and then gave it to Dinda. Both of them ate the sweet food together with jokes and laughter so that the Goddess who heard it felt calm.

Reifan seems to have started acting like an older brother even though his younger brother has not been born into the world. But he seemed to take care of Dinda when Aldi was not around.

"His baby's sister is a boy or a girl, is it Mother?"

"What do you want?"

"Emmm Eifan is no problem Mother. Want a boy, or a girl, Eifan will take care and love Eifan's sister."

"If it were a man, who would you name?"

"Emmm what is it? Eifan doesn't know Mommy. Mommy said, the name is not arbitrary. There must be a certain meaning that represents it as prayer."

"That's smart of you Rei. Now Mommy understands why your name is Reifan Gavin. You're a tough guy who's very loving."

"Well, do you know what the name Eifan means?" Suddenly he asked so enthusiastically.

"of course. Reifan is defined as a loyal and loving figure, while Gavin is interpreted as a white eagle. According to Mother the white eagle is a powerful bird. So do you. You were named Gavin because your father wanted you to be a strong boy. That's why Mommy combines everything into a 'tough guy who is very loving'."

"Said Oma, the name of Eifan from Mommy."

"Everything?" Dinda was shocked to hear Reifan's words. He thought why not Aldi who gave the name to Reifan when he was his own father.

"Rei. It's time for a nap. Finish your meal and go to bed." Tell the Goddess to interrupt their chatter suddenly.

"But Oma... Eifan still wants to be with Mother."

"If you don't nap, you like to be fussy, Rei. Mother is going everywhere. Mother will also take a nap."

"Sleeping is the same as Eifan, Mother. Yuk!" Reifan moved and pulled Dinda's hand to move along.

"Rei. Don't be! Oma there's something to talk to your mother about." Hearing that, with a limp step, Reifan walked towards his room without spending the rest of his food. While Dinda, he could not turn his eyes away from Reifan who had now closed the door of the room. He turned to face the Goddess who seemed to want an important talk.

"Why Ma? Something bothering your mind?"

"No son. It's just that Mama feels you must be surprised by what Rei said earlier."

Sontak Dinda tried to remember which part surprised her. "Which one?" Ask later.

"About Avril who gave the name to Rei, not Aldi." And the look on Dinda's face changed to hear the topic of conversation that led to what was indeed the source of her anxiety.

"Son, so you don't misunderstand or anything. After Syifa died, Aldi disappeared somewhere for 2 weeks. At that time Rei was not given a name. Syifa or Aldi did not prepare names for their children because Syifa reasoned that Rei was a surprise because he had never done USG. She chose to give birth to Rei without knowing his genitals from as far away as today. And for that reason too, Aldi and Syifa plan to give their son a name together. However, Syifa had not told Aldi, he died shortly after giving birth. And as a surrogate mother, Avril gave a name to Rei. And Gavin was given by Galih, Avril's brother."

"Ma. I honestly objected that Rei called Avril another name. Though Avril is an angel who is willing to take care of Rei even though she is not married, and even though Rei is the son of her ex-boyfriend."

"Mama's also objecting, son. But this is Aldi's decision. Let him talk to Avril no matter what."

Dinda hesitated to say what today made her breathless, but after she tried to tell a story, Dewi instead joined in crying to hear it. He himself did not imagine how it would be when he met Avril.

In short, time is back. It's been almost 2 weeks since Avril left the house. And now, he was too busy spending time with Zeeya who could already smile and seemed to have started enjoying his father's random chatter. Alvi who was very ignorant, he always said the word 'Dad' without saying 'Mother'. It was intended that during the first pronunciation of Zeeya, later the word 'Dad' which was spoken first. Avril did not want to lose, she changed her call to Mama. It was also aimed at making Zeeya easier to say it.

By noon, the sun was noticeably hotter than before. Avril who used to spend her time in the flower garden owned by her father-in-law, Maya, also turned to a cooler place.

"Al... Can I go to the boutique today? I want to buy a dress for your office."

"Why don't you just order and get us here?"

"You guys find a snack."

"Hey my darling my love! Your snack has piled up. How many more?" Although tucked in a friendly call, but the eyes of Alvi can not lie. Alvi said that while she glared because she was annoyed with the habit of his wife who always collected snacks and not directly eaten.

"Until my food is like a super market."

"Then we just buy the super market. Wanna?"

"Ehh you crazy? Not ah. Anyway, I just want to buy Zeeya's shirt. He's gaining weight, so his clothes are getting smaller."

"Keep Zeeya how?"

"As long as he's full, he'll be fine. We can't stay outside for long."

"Yes, Dad is."

"Just papa. If Dad I feel less than fit."

"Why? You're happy to be called Dad, right?"

"Yes tap-" her speech comes to a halt when Alvi sees her Wife breastfeeding Zeeya. He swallowed his saliva because it had not been in contact with Avril for a long time. Although he knew the time had to be patient for up to 40 days, but he must have been tempted as well.

"I-I'm into the den." Alvi suddenly became nervous and left her room. Avril who saw the change in Alvi's attitude could only stare at his departure silly.

After Avril confirmed Zeeya's sleep and placed him on Siska, Avril immediately followed Alvi into the study. There he was surprised to see Alvi was staring at his photo stored on the workbench.

"What are you doing?" Tegur Avril disperse the reverie of Alvi.

"Waiting for you." He answered without looking at Avril.

"I'm ready."

"Hmmmm.." just so Alvi's response. Avril who saw Alvi was not excited to try to approach and find out what was troubling her husband's mind.

"Al... why?" Tanya Avril grabbed Alvi's shoulder.

"No." Answer's short.

"liks. You must be thinking about something, right? Tell me now! What's up?" Resolutely, Avril grabbed Alvi's face and stared at her sharply. Instead of answering, but Alvi instead hugged Avril tightly so that Avril was increasingly curious.

"I..."

"Don't go. Don't lose sight of me for a second."

"Al... Where am I going? While my home is now you, my husband."

"Just don't leave me."

"I should have said so Al. Don't even think about looking for another one just because I'm different from before."

"What's different? I'm still the same. You're still my wife I love." Hearing Alvi's confession, despite being a parent, but it was very happy.

"We have to hurry." After Avril said that, the two hurriedly finished their affairs. Alvi drove the car at a moderate speed. He didn't want to take any risks despite being in a hurry.

Arriving at the boutique, Avril chose some dresses for her to try. As for Alvi, he did not need to choose anymore, seeing the suit suit that he thought was suitable, he immediately bought and continued to help Avril to choose a dress.

"This is all. More closed." Alvi said showing a dress that she felt was more suitable for her Wife. When Avril tried, he asked Alvi for an opinion, but Alvi instead teased him.

"Ehem. Big." Suddenly Avril who heard the word gaped and covered her chest. He went back inside to change his clothes again and kept on cursing Alvi.

"Basic crazy. It's obvious I'm breastfeeding." He was in the pass room.

After it was finished, Avril and Alvi rushed to the next place. Avril chose some clothes that Zeeya needed until she was 6 months old.

"Less that much, dear." Sindir Alvi who glanced cynically at Avril.

"Yes quiet. You won't understand housewives' business."

"And I'm the housefather."

"Yes. And your job is to pay for everything."

"It's mundane. Matre's wife."

"Bas on a stingy husband."

"What spy? All your credit cards are in your hands."

"Hehe." Although the two are arguing and like they are fighting, they still look very harmonious.

Finished buying Zeeya's necessities, Alvi and Avril decide to leave. And when he was about to open the car door, a familiar voice called out to him. Avril turned around and clearly saw the face of Aldi who was now looking at her.

"Avril. i-" 'plaque' has not had time to speak, Avril suddenly slapped Aldi's face hard.

"How dare you meet me? Whoareyou? Father does not know the responsibility that can only keep his Son away from the woman who became his mother's successor. Where's your mind, huh?" Avril did not look at the place, he was so disappointed in Aldi who had separated him from Reifan.

"Avril... What are you doing?" Alvi quickly grabbed Avril who was about to slap Aldi back. Avril immediately buried her face in Alvi's embrace, and Aldi only went silent to look at Avril's anger. In addition, Alvi did not glance at him in the slightest and chose to pass from before him.
