SET DUSK

The Part 35

"Master ..." said Ida as she looked at Burhan sitting in front of their baby.

"Have you done the shower?" Burhan smiled gently welcoming his wife.

"Already," said Ida briefly.

Ida's face that was pias already looks fresh, although there is still a sense of fatigue hanging there. Her still wet hair was tightly coiled with a towel.

"That's what's on your forehead?" show Burhan.

"G ... It's a potion from mak Saroh. He said this let me not get dizzy." Ida rubbed her forehead slowly.

Ida walked slowly, holding her stomach which had been strongly rebounded with the octopus by mak Saroh after bathing her. But the pain still felt.

"You want to rest? Let me take care of Yasir" Burhan said as Ida sat by the bed.

"Sand?" Ida looked at the wonder of her husband.

"Haha ... I named our baby Yasir. Do you agree?"

"Good name, I didn't even think of his name," Ida smiled weakly.

"Rest," cried Burhan.

"I'm not allowed to sleep."

"Who wouldn't allow it?"

"Mak Saroh's. He said abstinence for women who have just given birth to sleep in the morning."

"Oh, why is that?"

"Later his white blood rises to the head, it can go blind."

When Burhan was about to ask Ida again, mak Saroh entered the room carrying a tray with a bowl and drinks on it.

"You eat first, Da. I've made porridge and potions, so that your milk is plentiful and your filthy blood comes out all."

" Thank you, Mama. " Ida took the tray that mak Saroh brought.

" If you want to sleep, later after the sublime yes, Da. I'll go home first. I'm here again tomorrow."

"I'll take you, Mom." Burhan got up from his seat.

"No, I can go home by myself. I say yes," said mak Saroh left the room.

"Thank you, Mom," Ida and Burhan said.

"Yes," said mak Saroh, turning a moment and then passed out of the room.

"Master's eating?" tanya Ida turned to Burhan who was busy poking the cheeks of her baby.

A happy hue was clearly plastered on his face. He looked at the red baby with a shady look and smile.

"O Lord, forgive me for rejecting this man with all my prejudices" Ida murmured inwardly.

Ida choked when scooping the porridge into her mouth. Guilt and happiness filled his chest cavity. He looked down at the bowl on his lap.

He also remembered the face of amai, ringing the promise of amai who would come back to visit him when he gave birth. Ida couldn't hold back her tears from falling. The pain of loss is still not able to be resolved.

"Da, why are you crying? Still sore?" ask Burhan to worry.

"I only remember amai, sir," he exclaimed.

"We pray for happiness in the grave, Da." Burhan approached Ida. Slowly rubbed both of his wife's eyes.

Ida simply replied with a nod, her voice like she was unable to get out. Burhan pulled Ida into his arms. Trying to give his wife a little peace. Burhan's sturdy arm ripped down Ida's defensive wall. The feeling of tightness he felt seemed to just fall apart. She grew sobbing, burying her face in her husband's chest.

No words of comfort, Burhan just let Ida release all the burdens that accumulate in his wife's heart. He understood, there would be no right word to comfort someone who was grieving.

"Thank you, sir," said Ida.

"You're relieved?" tanya Burhan released Ida from his embrace, staring at the two eyes of my beloved who was in front of him.

"Here you go" he answered briefly.

"Then you finish your food. Want me to bribe?"

"No need. Sir has eaten? From morning buk Isah accompanied me here, surely you have not eaten."

"Yes, but my hunger is gone. Thank you, Da has given birth to this beautiful creature." Burhan looked at the sleeping baby beside Ida.

"Lord eat, lest you fall ill from forgetting to eat." Ida smiled gently at her husband.

His view of Burhan has completely changed, Burhan's constant treatment of praise and attention has eroded the sense of rejection that once lodged in his heart.

"Later on, I'm still not satisfied with looking at Yasir's face" Burhan said.

"Master is stubborn. Later after eating, you look at it until you are satisfied," muttered Ida.

"Just as stubborn as you are, Da," said Burhan.

"It is clever that you reverse the word."

Ida gave up telling Burhan to eat, continued to bribe one spoonful after another spoonful of porridge in the bowl.

Not only did her stomach feel full, her heart also felt full of love from her husband. Her happiness is now increased by the presence of a tiny baby named Yasir.

----------°°°°°°------------

"Assalamualaikum ..." The sound of greetings on the front door, followed by the sound of the door being opened.

Ida who was breastfeeding Yasir woke up Burhan who had fallen asleep. He knows, it must be Halimah who came. It's midnight. He heard the door to Halimah's room opened, followed by the whining of children and the sound of Madah calming his children.

"It turns out that amak and ni Madah came together" Ida murmured in her heart.

Ida put Yasir back to bed when the baby let go of his suction. He moved down from the bed to meet his father-in-law.

"Amak ..." said Ida when she saw Mak Halimah still in the hallway in front of the room.

"I woke you up, Da?" sahut mak Halimah half whispered.

"No, Mother. I was breastfeeding when the rampage came."

"Ah, thank goodness. I'm afraid I'm disturbing your sleep. Burhan is asleep? Your baby's not fussy, is she?" leaning mak Halimah when in front of Ida.

"Burhan was asleep, I woke him up and he looked tired. Yasir isn't fussy, Mak."

"Oh, have you given him a name?"

"Here you are, sir who gave you a name."

"Eh, you awake?" The new Midah out of the room approached Ida and mak Halimah.

"You rest, Da. Tomorrow we continue again," cut mak Halimah.

"Yes, Mom. I'll go to the room first." Ida said goodbye to her father-in-law and brother-in-law.

"Yes, you rest. I also want to rest" said Madah.

The next morning, the atmosphere of the house was boisterous when Ida woke up. The sound of screaming children running around the house added to the boisterous suana that morning.

"You awake? Mak Saroh came to bathe Yasir." Burhan appeared in front of the room door.

"Just now" said Ida inching down from the bed.

"Da, can I come in?" Mak Halimah appeared behind Burhan.

"Yes, Mommy."

"Where is your granddaughter" said mak Halimah approaching the bed.

As if answering his grandmother's question, Yasir wriggled quietly in his bed. Open his mouth and taste.

"Ah, it's very similar to you when the baby, Han," said mak Halimah amazed and grabbed Yasir into his carrier.

A happy aura emanated from the face of Mak Halimah, transmitting to Ida's heart. Unaware he smiled when mak Halimah fondled Yasir.

"Da, mak Saroh is about to bathe your baby." Buk Isah threw his face into the room.

"Oh, yes, it's legal." Mak Halimah handed over Yasir to Isah's book.

"You also after this immediately take a bath, let it be used again by mak Saroh octopus." Buk Isah passed away leaving the room.

"Then, amak to the kitchen used to help buk Isah prepare breakfast," said mak Halimah rose from her seat.

"Yes, Mommy."

"Han, go to the cattle market to buy goats, for your son's aqiqah. Later amak with Isah's buk called a neighbor to help cook."

"Good, Mom. Then who cut the goat?"

"You're the one who cut. Wouldn't it be better to cut the goat himself."

"Yes, Mommy."

Mak Halimah went out of the room, leaving behind her son and daughter-in-law.

"I'm leaving, Da. So I can get a good goat."

"Yes, Sir. Be careful."

------------°°°°°°°°°--------------

Two days after Mak Halimah came, the house began to bustle. Not only because of the presence of Madah and her children. Neighbors around his house who helped prepare for the aqiqahan event and took a bath to be held by his in-laws, also enlivened the atmosphere of the house.

That afternoon, Ida was in the bathroom. The kitchen that was crowded from morning was increasingly heard growing crowded when one of his neighbors just came.

" A, Piah. Just came you. Where have you been this day? I called you not home" said one of the neighbors who had helped.

"I just got back from my prospective home, Uni. I was invited by my son-in-law to see the bed."

"Oh yeah soon you're gonna be a little girl, yeah."

"Yes. For a long time I persuaded Ana to accept the proposal of the grandfather of Bandaro, but his heart was still tethered to Burhan," Piah tek.

Ida came out of the bathroom. For some reason this time his heart was hot to hear the conversation of his neighbor.

" Uh .... Ida, congratulations you have given birth. I did not have time to look because I was busy taking care of my son's wedding preparations, "tek Piah said with a made-up smile.

"Yes, Tech. Thank ye. Excuse me first" said Ida.

"Yes." Yeah."

Just when Ida was at the top of the stairs, Tek Piah again opened his voice.

"Even though Ana was willing to accept Bandaro's grandfather's son, but it seems that his heart is still heavy to Burhan."

"Alright, Piah. My son is heart only for my son-in-law, you must spread your child's heart to others, only to embarrass your son later," cut off the Halimah mak who passed Ida at the end of the stairs.

Mak Halimah rubbed Ida's shoulder gently.

" Not mind Piah's mouth, Da" he whispered as he descended into the kitchen.

Tek Piah who from the beginning of the arrival excited about the feelings of his son to other neighbors suddenly fell silent, his face reddened.

"You take care of your mouth a little, Piah. My daughter-in-law has just given birth, do not let her heart hurt by hearing your words," said mak Halimah when she reached the kitchen.

Ida moved slowly to her room. His feelings are starting to worry. Although she knows her husband's heart is only attached to her, but nothing is impossible, if someone who is drunk will love can do recklessly and take all means to get his loved ones.

Arriving at the room, he saw Burhan holding Yasir. The little baby fell asleep peacefully on his father's arm.

"Yasir woke up when you went back," Burhan smiled as he saw Ida's presence.

His smile instantly disappeared when he saw Ida's eyes glazed over. Face glum.

"What's the matter, Da?" tanyanya.

"My eyes go to the dust, sir," said Ida.

"Your eyes can't lie, Da. You why?" burhan.

Burhan placed Yasir carefully back on the bed and approached Ida who was still flinching near the door. His lips trembled, the tears that he had been holding back finally shed.

"You why?" repeated Burhan, leading Ida to sit on the bed.

"Master, what if Ana still forces to be with Mister? Will you make him my madam?" ida gumam.

"Where did you get that kind of thinking?" search Burhan.

"So Tek Piah told all the neighbors in the kitchen, that Ana still could not release the Master from her heart. I don't know why my heart hurts" isak Ida.

Burhan chuckled at Ida.

"Haha ... You're jealous, aren't you?"

"Once again, there is clearly a fear that I feel. I'm afraid that if Ana is reckless, she'll take you away from me in a bad way" Ida's sobbing gets louder.

"Shj ... Don't think too far. Let's just pray that God doesn't change how I feel about you, Da" Burhan said.

Burhan stared intently at Ida's wet eyes. His heart feels warm. The feeling that has always felt one-sided, today seems filled with the same weight. Ida has welcomed his feelings. During this time, he felt that he only had the body of Ida but not his heart. Today, he feels he has full Ida.

"Lord, thank you for answering my prayers at every prostration a third of my night" Burhan murmured inwardly.
