The Bond of Our Love

CHAPTER 22 - Keeping the Promise

"Sama Ma'am. I don't want to be with bar-bar women either, and eleven twelve with a tigress like this mother's child" Rahul gave a retort. However, again Zahra attacked him with a lump of flour.

"Oh, still not satisfied, playing throwing?" Rahul also attacked the girl back with sesame. Until their war continues.

"Stop!!" Again Ms. Sakinah had to use a shout to stop the silly actions of the two lovebirds.

"The two of you are really! For a long time the blood pressure Mother can rise because of you! Wear wheat and sesame throwing events all. You guys think buying these ingredients all use leaves?! Now hurry up and clean up this mess you've made. Quickly clean this floor of this scattered wheat and sesame!" Tell him with a loud voice.

"It's all because of you" Zahra blamed Rahul.

"Kok me? Obviously you first threw me with flour...." Rahul blamed him back.

"Hulp, Zahra! Udah, enough fighting! Now hurry up and clean up Mom's kitchen!"

"Yes-yes Ma'am"

********

About fifty minutes later, they were about to finish working on Ms. Sakinah's orders. The floors, tables and long benches that were previously dirty with flour and sesame scattered due to their actions, have now started to clean again as before.

"Ra, this is all the cake ready, right?" Ask Ms. Sakinah while checking the plastic boxes containing the cake on the table.

"Yes Ma'am, everything is ready" replied Zahra as she mopped the floor.

"This is one for whom?" Sakinah pointed to the cake in a box of mica that was also on the table. Which seems deliberately set aside by Zahra for someone.

"That's for my patient ma'am. Today he was out of the hospital. So I brought her that cake"

"You want to go to the hospital now? Aren't you on the night shift today?"

"Yes ma'am, I have to go there now. Just for a little while, because I promised my little patient that. You remember Lyra, right? The little girl I told you about the other day?"

"The crying little boy doesn't want to be infused?" Limpal Rahul is wiping the table.

"Kok you know? Oh.... So you were eavesdropping when me, Wirda and Doctor Ema were calming the kid?" Zahra smiled in annoyance.

"I just happened to pass by" Kelit Rahul.

"Reason" Gerutu Zahra.

"It's true. I just happened to be passing by then. Then I accidentally heard the sound of a child crying not to be infused. Uh, it turns out that there's a female tiger there, calming the little tiger hehehe.... Aaww" Again Rahul gasped while complaining of pain because he felt a blunt object hit his leg. And he was very sure that it was a broom that Zahra was using to mop the floor.

"God. Mom, see yourselves? Mother's bar-bar behavior" Adu Rahul to Bu Sakinah.

"Mom, you see, she's the first one that sucks?" Zahra complained.

"Already, already. I don't have time to be a judge on your show of contention. If you are still not satisfied, please continue outside. Rahul, I heard you've been working in a factory now?"

"Yes Ma'am"

"Kok you're still here? You're not going there now?"

"Mommy's holiday today"

"Oh.. Then today I'm bringing Zahra to you. Please take care of those who intend no good towards him huh"

"Yes ma'am, I will definitely take good care of her" Rahul smiled brightly.

"Mothers. Why should I tell him to take care of me? I can take care of myself. There is no need to wear a pin on him" Zahra denied.

"Lha, why? Rahul this is a man, it's only natural that he takes care of you who is a woman. He can do it anyway. The proof was yesterday, when Amar and his friends wanted to be indecent towards you, he was able to fight them for your sake. Isn't that Rahul?"

"Yes Mom. It all just happened. Because I can't accept them being disrespectful to Zahra. In addition, someone told me.bIf behind the lack of someone, there must be an advantage of each. And I'm so grateful to that guy. Because thanks to him, I can measure and know my abilities"

Rahul said with a seductive smile. Zahra just silently listened with an indecipherable look on her face. I don't know what he's thinking. She clearly knew that the man was insinuating her.

Sakinah Ma'am who seemed to understand who Rahul meant, only responded with a head bobble accompanied by a smile at the behavior of two people who were kasmaran.

"Yes, now there you go" said Bu Sakinah in a soft voice.

"Yes Ma'am" replied Zahra.

********

"Good morning my beautiful fairy!" Sapa Zahra with a cheerful smile, so opened the door and entered Lyra's nursery.

Lyra turned her head and in an instant, her eyes widened with a wide smile that adorned her tiny face.

"Sister Zahra!" Excited Lyra while hugging Zahra who also hugged her back.

"How are you, baby?" Zahra asked as she let go of the little girl's embrace.

"Good Brother. Today I can go home" Lyra replied enthusiastically.

"Oh really? That means Lyra has obeyed the doctor's aunt and sister. So now Lyra is healed and can go home. Right so?"

"He em"

"Yeah!"

Rahul, who had been tailing behind Zahra, just stood listening to the conversation of two other girls of that generation, with a warm smile.

Although sometimes the girl's bar-bar soul often reacts, which makes her look like a female tiger. But behind it can be stored a soft and loving soul, and motherhood that makes it so close and familiar with children.

Rahul admired the girl more and more. Even he was getting confused. Is his feeling for the woman just admiring, or is it more than that?

I don't know, let time answer.

"Oh yes Brother. Today I can go home, what about my big brother's appointment the other day?"

"Mmmm.....Which promise is it?" Zahra scrunched her forehead with her anxiety.

"Dad Brother! At that time, I promise you, I will continue the beauty and the beast story, when I come home from here. Cook Brother forgot the hell" murmured Lyra.

"My little elf cocks her face so scowl like this? Later beautiful lost loh" Zahra pinched slowly chubby cheek Lyra with his anxiety. "Alright, according to the request of my beautiful fairy, then the beauty and the beast story will continue"

"Really Brother?" Lyra's sullen face immediately returned to cheerful hearing Zahra's statement.

"He em"

"Yeah!" Lyra cheered happily with both hands stretched out upwards.

"Oh yeah, Brother there's something for Lyra"

"What Brother?"

"Taraa!" Zahra picked up the mica box containing the wet cake she had placed on the nightstand and thrust it in front of Lyra.

"Well, cake! This is for Lyra, brother?" Lyra stared at the cake with sparkling eyes.

"He em's. It's my mother's. Guaranteed, it feels will make Lyra addicted"

"Thank you, sister" Lyra was very happy to receive the wet cake.

"Beloved together"

"Sister, who's that handsome brother?" Lyra pointed at Rahul who was standing not far from the bed he was sitting on with Zahra. It seems that the sweet girl was only aware of Rahul's existence earlier, so cool to chat with Zahra.

Rahul approached while fumbling. Then he shook his hips on the bed, in front of Zahra and Lyra.

"Hello, my name is Rahul"

"Sister Rahul is very handsome. His girlfriend's brother Zahra?"

"Huh?" Zahra was shocked to hear Lyra's words. My God, this little boy already understands that kind of thing?

"Yes. My friend said, if there are adult men and women together, it means they are dating, and will get married. Then have a child. Brother Rahul and Brother Zahra are like that too, right?"

"Lira. Can you ask me something?" Rahul asked with a smile.

"What Brother?"

"How old are you right now?"

"7 Years old"

"What grade of school is Lyra?"

"Class 2 SD Brother"

"OKAY. Lyra is still 7 years old, still in 2nd grade SD. still small?" Rahul asked in a soft voice.

"He uh" Lyra nodded.

"Well. The little boy had only two tasks" Rahul brandished his middle finger and index finger.

"School and play. Not about adults. Because it's not time for a kid Lyra's age. And, if any of your friends are discussing such issues, it means they are not good friends. And, that bad friend, should be shunned. Because they have a bad influence on us. Lyra understand, you mean Brother?"

"Yes Brother. Later, Lyra will stay away from friends like that"

"Smart kid. Tos first" Rahul brandished his palm that was immediately reciprocated and clapped by Lyra's tiny hand.

"Yeahahay!"

Zahra just kept quiet with a smile that adorned her face, watching the behavior of the two people before her.

He did not expect. Rahul who previously known as a figure that is so fragile and temperament, due to the problems of his life that is too long, it turns out to be a figure who is so wise and patient, in the problems of children.

"After being chased out by the Beast, Belle wandered through the forest leaving the palace. However, he was instead intercepted by wolves and was about to be preyed upon. Unexpectedly, the Beast came to his rescue. He fought with wolves until he was severely injured. Belle returns to the palace to take care of the wounded Beast. Meanwhile, Belle's father, who had reached his village, told about everything he had experienced to the surrounding residents. However, they do not believe that they are instigated by Gaston, the man who loves Belle"

Zahra was so enthusiastic in storytelling, while feeding a wet cake with small mouth Lyra who was laying in her lap.
