The Art of Seviyorum (I Love You)
40. Athala Zakka Mustafa's.

"Maira .. may I ask?" Lisa looked at her confused husband, then sat back down next to him.
"What's that?"
"If I may know, how are things ... Our child?" Revan knows, maybe that question doesn't deserve him. But, she wanted to know what happened to Lisa and her future baby after the day of the kidnapping. Lisa seemed silent, Revan knew, she shouldn't have asked. Seeing the current state of Lisa, Revan was convinced, their son could not be saved. So, why else would Revan ask who the answer is obvious.
"He's healthy!" Revan looked at Lisa in disbelief.
"What do you mean?"
"He's fine."
"But the doctor said ...."
"Mas, the doctor is not God! It could have been that the doctor misdiagnosed my pain back then!" Aye! Why didn't Revan think about it and instead take rash steps to let the baby die?
"I'm sorry, Maira." Revan is very sorry.
"It's okay, it's all over. From now on, promise not to do anything like that again."
"I promise. I won't repeat it again!" Lisa smile. She hugged Revan for a while, before helping her two children.
Revan's stunned. Staring at Lisa who is now busy helping Asha compose the cake on the table. Since when Lisa smiled so sweetly like that, Lisa looked more beautiful when she smiled. Not like before, when they were first married. In fact, Lisa only smiled at her two children, not with her. Did Lisa really love him?

Revan and his small family walk towards the parking lot. They had just landed in Indonesia after traveling almost 34 hours, even then due to several transits. Lisa wanted them to go on a regular flight, not on her husband's private plane. Revan initially refuses and asks Lisa to go on a private plane. However, his opinion was heavily lost against his two children as well. Of course Ezha and Asha followed the Mother.
"Are you hungry? We can have lunch for a while before we go home." Revan bargained. Asha who was walking beside Revan shook her head quickly.
"Asha sleepy! Asha wants to go home! Asha wants to sleep!" asha whining. Lisa smiled in response to the whining of her daughter.
"Well, we'll go home, we can cook at home!" Lisa rubbed Asha's head with affection. Afterwards looked at Revan for approval.
"Thank you, Mother!" Asha smiled back at Lisa. Revan eventually relented again.
"Yes already. We're going straight home!" Revan smiled.
"Dad, can we stay here longer?" Revan smiles.
"Until your holidays are over, we're back in Turkey!" reply Revan.
"Really, Dad?" Ezha looked pleased. Revan had only seen Ezha for the first time that much.
"Yes, can. After all, I also want to play with you!"

Lisa was silent, looking at a carving of a name she had not been to for a long time. Zara Mustafa, a friend who used to help her, Lisa misses Zara, so she asks Revan to come visit her best friend's funeral.
"Are you happy, Zara? I hope you can calm down there." Lisa can't hold back her tears. Slowly, tears rolled down the beautiful woman's cheeks. "If you were here, could it be that we could still be friends?" Lisa wiped her tears. Silence was created after Lisa began to calm down, in the lyrics Revan who had been just silently staring at the navel of his first wife. Could Revan miss Zara?
"I came to ask your permission, Zara. I hope you allow me to love Revan mas. I'll try to be like you, build the household you want with her, like the trust you've put in me." Revan looked at Lisa who was crying again. Lisa's words were not at all expected.
"Maira ...." Revan rubbed Lisa's arm gently. Lisa turned her head, smiled and rubbed Revan's hand back.
"I'm happy Zara, sorry I was late to realize it. I think I love your husband. I'm sorry." Revan pulls Lisa into his arms. Shrugging his wife's shoulders to make her calmer.
"Would we go home, the kids would've waited." Lisa agreed with Revan. The two walk away from Zara's final resting place. Lisa still had time to look towards Zara's grave, trying to tell her friend, that she would carry out her final mandate to make Revan happy.
"I'll do what I can, Zara."

Revan rushes Lisa into their house. Relax, there is no noise.
"Why is it so lonely, haven't the kids come home yet?" Revan thinks that his two children are still in Nindi's house.
"It looks like they're home!" Lisa smiled warmly, then raised her hand on Revan's arm. "It seems he's arrived."
"He who?" Revan doesn't know who I mean by him.
"Atha!"
"Atha? Who's she?" Lisa just smiled. Revan is getting confused.
"If you want to know, let's go in!" Lisa pulls Revan to enter their room.
Lisa took off her arms and went straight to her bed, in the room there were already two nurses who were cleaning something.
"Athalene!" Lisa immediately approached the tiny baby lying on her bed.
"Maira ... The baby .. who is he?" Lis was strange by staring at Revan who was still standing in the doorway.
"Nita, Siva you can come out. I want to talk to my husband!" the two nurses who were cleaning Athala's belongings immediately came out of the room.
"Maira ... who?" revan asked as he approached.
"Our son." Lisa smile. Lifting Athala and carrying her.
"Son .. us?" Revan is getting closer. Staring at the tiny sleeping baby with a look of amazement. "Is he really our son?" Lisa nodded.
"Name Athala. Athala Zakka Mustafa's." Revan touches Atha's cheek, making the tiny baby squirm because of Revan's cold hands. Of course Revan is sweating coldly. Not expecting that he could see the tiny baby in his arms was his son.
"Athalene! I ... I really have a baby!" Revan this time grasped Athala's hand slowly. Lisa nodded.
"He's your son. Athalene!"
