While silence was still being created, Aida hastily denied that Ilyas was not Ayu's husband.
"Lantas, who's going to prosecute?" Asked the female nurse earlier with eyes filled with confusion.
Aida touched her husband's arm and told him to follow the nurse.
"Dad, he's clearly a stranger. My grandfather's father was the one who had the right to accuse our grandchildren. Don't think for long, sana! Follow the nurse."
Ulum now cast his gaze on Ilyas. He understood that, but that does not mean his wife should openly say stranger. Now, the middle-aged man was precisely worried that his wife's words would hurt Ilyas' heart.
While the young man who was pressing his glasses frame smiled faintly. It was enough for him to just hear the news of Ayu and her son being fine. He was able to return to Chileungsi with a calm feeling. Previously, he also did not take heart the words of his mother Qonni. Because it's true, he's just a stranger.
"I'm, say goodbye, sir."
"Why hurry, wait a minute."
"Thank you, Sir. But I actually want to teach. It's the battery." Ilyas handed the package containing the laptop battery in his hand to Aida.
"How much?" Ask Aida.
"Udah, Mom. It's easy later. Most importantly, you can take care of this first," without asking for the money Ilyas then nodded his head goodbye. Then he said hello to Qonni's parents.
"Yes, you said you wanted to see Aaron's son?" ulum said when he saw Aida had received an item wrapped in black plastic. Then he looked at the nurse who was still waiting. "Sir, can't you go in two people?"
"I'm sorry, I can't, sir. Because the delivery room, especially the newborn room, must be sterile, so it can not enter many people."
"Due..." Ulum a little bit of regret.
"No papa, sir. Next time." Hurriedly Ilyas grabbed Ulum's hand for him to shake. However, Ulum immediately held the young man's hand which began to unravel.
"Stay here, after I accuse him. You changed who came in, huh?" Ulum's words opened Ilyas responded with a smile while nodding.
"Come, Sir. We can't take long." The nurse again asked Ulum to hurry. "For Masnya, baby room can be seen from the glass wall there, Kok." The nurse provides an alternative if someone wants to see the baby without having to go into the room. Kontan, look Ilyas in the eye. Even his lips were spouting hamdalah.
"Thank you, Sister."
"Either. Come, Sir. Please follow me."
Ulum smiled faintly. Before finally following in the footsteps of the nurse who asked him to hurry. Along with the footsteps of Ulum, Ilyas also headed to the corner pointed earlier. Of course after asking permission from Mother Aida who just kept quiet while sitting back on the chair.
Now the young man is standing right in front of a glass wall that partly has a blur effect.
From his position, he could still see the baby who had just finished wearing clothes and cloth bedong to wrap his tiny body.
I don't know what was on the young man's mind, the article when he saw the baby being diadzani Ulum, suddenly his chest rumbled which gave rise to a sense of tightness to make him continue to be confined in the valley of regret.
The flashback
"Assynnya!" greeting Ilyas who at that time accidentally passed near Aaron's online storage warehouse, and decided to stop by.
"God, God... Allah's..." Aaron greeted him cheerfully, his hand moving slowly putting the phone on the display. Before approaching the bespectacled young man who was still standing in front of the door and then hugged him. "MashaAllah, good day. Antum came at the right time. Here and there in...."
"Weleh-weleh, the tumbens are greeted with beaming faces," he jokes.
"Emang ever, Anna greeted Antum with a cruel face?" saut's joking.
"Yes, no, anyway. At most, Anna is cuekin because Antum is cool Live trading on the video app."
"Sok busy, but the audience mah at most only twenty, yes. Ahhaha..." Aaron hustles to lead him to sit on a sofa that is deliberately there for anyone who comes to his store.
"What do you want to drink and eat, right? Just say anything." He offered after the two of them sat down on the sofa.
"Weh, what wind is this. Tau-tau nawarin is rich again in the restaurant. The thing is, Abis got a big fortune..."
"Hahaha, Alhamdulillah."
"really? Another flood order, huh?" Tanya Ilyas excited.
"Thayyib, what a suspicious smile, huh? It's really a fall of durian collapsing."
"More than that, Yas." With great enthusiasm Aaron answered.
"MashaAllah, ready to be this real honey master, mah."
"Hahaha.no, no. Not that, Yas."
"Continue?" Ilyas is curious. It seemed like something was interesting, making the young man before him continue to spread a positive aura.
"Alhamdulillah, Anna's and wife's efforts have borne fruit."
"meaning?" Ilyas kept smiling, guessing.
"Anna's wife is finally pregnant, Yas!" With great zeal Aaron reported the happy thing.
"Allahuacbar!"
"It feels like a dream, almost two years of waiting with a slightly pessimistic mind. Thank God, what we hope is finally God's love."
"MashaAllah's. Well, what did Anna say? Be patient! don't listen to someone who is in a hurry. You will be loved." Ilyas stretched out his hand which was immediately in Aaron's response. They also shake hands with each other. "Congratulations."
"Thank you, Yas. You're really. Thank God, Anna is so happy today. Even so happy to want him at home continue the same wife."
Ilyas smiled, happy to see the happy hue that kept on emitting the man in front of him. Perhaps, he will express himself just like Aaron. If you have a family later, then suddenly heard the news his wife was pregnant.
"Anna will take care of the deposit as best she can. Pray, Anna is always healthy, Yas. So that I can take care of my wife and daughter."
"Aamiin yes rabbal'alamin." Ilyas raised both his hands up high while exclaiming like that. The two laughed together for the next few hours, before Ilyas returned home.
Flashback...
The young man continued to look at the baby room with his eyes starting to fog. Although from a distance, he could still see a little, a healthy and clean baby appeared calm in a cloth that covered almost all parts of his body.
Oh, my God, son. How happy your Abi was when you were present in your Ummi womb. Unfortunately, he cannot welcome you today.
A drop of tears flowed slowly to the cheek. Fiddling with the flames of his guilt that began to encircle the sanitary ware. Ilyas desperately wanted to hold the boy and kiss him while apologizing to him.
Run, if Antum were here. Antum must be very happy, seeing your beautiful daughter has been born into the world.
I'm sorry, Run. I'm sorry for taking the wrong step so Antum can't be here now. But I promise you, he won't lose Father. And please allow me, to think of him as my son, Run.
From his place, he saw Ulum turning towards Ilyas. The young man looked down after returning Ulum's gaze for a while while wiping away his tears.
From his den pocket. He can feel the vibration of the phone that can be made sure it is a phone call.
The bespectacled young man who was still standing in front of the glass wall immediately received a phone call from the headmaster. Because it was past thirty minutes, the young man was not present or maybe gave news if he would be late or maybe not teach permission. After receiving a phone call, he felt his back warm up because of someone's touch.
"Sir?" he muttered when he knew Ulum was already behind. I put my phone in my pants pocket.
"Wanna get in?" kata Ulum. The young man before him only glanced briefly at the baby room then returned to Ulum with a faint smile.
"Sorry, Sir. Looks like next time. I have to go back. Because I just remembered, today there's a daily replay for my students."
Ulum nodded with one hand patting his shoulder.
"Yes already then. Come whenever you spare–"
"Thank you, sir." Ilyas grabbed the hand of Fatkhul Qulum, and kissed the back of his hand with reverence. He was very grateful for the attitude of Ulum who felt very open to him to make him not feel awkward at this time.
Right now it was enough for him to just look at that healthy born baby from a distance. And maybe at another time, he will come for the sake of the child who instantly made him fall in love.
The bespectacled young man whose heart was filled with discomfort then moved away after saying goodbye to Ulum.
