" Deck. Unlock door. " Zuhdi kept banging on the door of Azrinna's room. "Azrinna's. Brother wants to come in !. " Say Zuhdi again raised his voice.
In the room, Azrinna was curled up on the bed crying. He was reluctant to open the door but it seemed that his brother was indeed forcing. Azrinna woke up and unlocked the door of the room which was pushed from the outside and opened wide.
Azrinna's eyes focused on her baby in Hizqi's arms.
" Can I come in ?." Ask Hizqi. And Azrinna just nodded.
They entered Azrinna's house. Zuhdi sat on the sofa while Azrinna and Hizqi chose to sit on the edge of the bed.
" It's. Don't cry anymore. Ugly know not ?." Seloroh Hizqi managed to make Azrinna slightly chuckle. " aye, ahh. Fattened his carrier." Hizqi handed Alchira to her mother.
Azrinna immediately stared intently at her best friend's face but still took over Alchira's tiny body.
" What's his name ?." Zuhdi started to make a sound.
" Alchira Nazla Ilario's. "
" Ilario ?!."
Azrinna. He knew that his brother must have been unhappy with Alchira's last name, because it was Akhtar's name taken from his last word.
" Sir. We're shopping yuk ?."
" Shopping ?!."
" yes. I'm sure there's no baby gear here. " Hizqi spoke with a gaze gesturing to Zuhdi.
Zuhdi who initially did not understand ended up nodding as well. Zuhdi knew that the invitation was not just to buy baby needs. But more to his own Azrinna so as not to dissolve in sadness.
" yes. We go out yuk ?. My niece doesn't have anything in her new home. "
A little while later, Azrinna and Hizqi had been very excited here and there looking for equipment for Alchira. The first time they arrived, they entered the baby girl's clothing area and took some clothing stels that they thought were suitable and then switched to small and beautiful shoes. Azrinna picked up a very cute knit peach-colored sandal then changed again to the baby's underwear area and lastly to the accessories section, and slightly picked up some of the accessories favored by the two women.
The trolley bed pushed by Zuhdi was full of Alchira's belongings.they went straight to the cashier to make payment transactions. When they finished, they decided not to go home. They stopped by a restaurant standing straight beside the road.
He got down and entered the restaurant door. If it was at the baby shop Azrinna who was holding Alchira. Now alternate with Hizqi.
Azrinna stepped quietly in front and Zuhdi too Hizqi was behind her. They choose to sit on a bench that is slightly cornered. Didn't wait long wait wait for waitress to come and hand out her menu book. After everything was done ordering, the waitress was back waltzing away.
Zuhdi's gaze looked unsettled and seemed busy paying attention to the surrounding situation.
" sister. What's up ?. " Tanya Azrinna was curious.
" This eee... Aqlan's Restaurant, Dek. "
" What ?!." Azrinna closed her mouth in surprise. He spread his eyes all over. "Sister. Why did you bring us here ?."
" Yes, sorry. I forgot that. If I remember, I wouldn't stop here either. "
Azrinna sighed then slammed her back onto the back of the chair. Not unwilling to eat in this restaurant, only she was afraid that there was Aqlan here because she still could not see the face of the man who had been her husband.
The order came then in a neat arrangement on the table. The three began to enjoy the dishes that were in plain sight. Half an hour they spent at the dinner, they decided to go home soon because the time was already at dusk. And that's not very good for Alchira, the tiny baby that the doctor calculated was six weeks old.
Afternoon trip is very tiring because many times there is congestion at red lights especially the afternoon is the time of repatriation of service, whether as officials or employees booming filled every area of the paved roads of the metropolitan city.
Around six Maghrib, Zuhdi's car had reached home after taking the time to drive Hizqi home first. They ran a little into the house because the drizzle that had been stirring was getting bigger and began to thicken.
Azrinna's footsteps came to a halt as her eyes saw the figure of the leader in her family. His father's gaze was flat but unsheathed making Azrinna confused how to behave, until Zuhdi slightly nudged his arm back to bring Azrinna realized from her daydream.
" It's okay. Papa must understand. " Say Zuhdi as he stepped before Azrinna approached her papa and experienced it.
" Where are you guys from ?." Winata asked Azrinna to look up at her father's face.
" We finished shopping for the needs of Alchira, pa.." replied Azrinna lirih mixed with fear.
Winata's eyes looked at the baby in Azrinna's arms. A second later the decorating smile on her face was resolute. Winata's hands lifted and gently rubbed Azrinna's face. "Don't be afraid like that. Papa is not angry with Azri. " Soft Winata said with a fixed eye look at Azrinna's already deathly pale face.
Azrinna was unable to hold back her tears from dripping. Azrinna directly hit her father's body with a cry that broke instantly. Winata's hand also did not remain passive, the hand that began to age was rubbing slowly Azrinna's back.
" I'm sorry Azrinna, pa.."
" Yes, honey. Papa understands the situation. Papa believes, this spoiled child of papa will not do dirty things if in a conscious state." Winata said understandingly.
" Thank you, pa. "
" Yes, sana. Pray first. Maghrib time is over. "
Azrinna. He glanced at Zuhdi who had already entered his own room. " Azri to the room first, pa. " Say to the father.
" Papa's grandson wakes up, you pray let him be with papa. " Winata spoke but her eyes focused on Alchira who was awake.
Azrinna saw her daughter, which turned out to be true, that Alchira was opening her eyes. The habit of babies, they will fall asleep during the day and wake up throughout the night. Like this Alchira, when Alchira's streets were sleeping soundly but when it was approaching night he opened his eyes.
Azrinna nodded stiffly and slightly forced her smile on the father. Who also returned his smile.
" here. " Winata took over Alchira very carefully. " Usah, pray first. " His words to Azrinna again when her grandson is safe in his carrier.
Azrinna nodded then stepped up the stairs and entered her room.
Winata chose to sit on the sofa while holding his first grandchild who turned out to be very beautiful just like his mother. But there was a slight eastern line that further added to the beautiful impression of his grandson. Winata had heard everything from his wife including that the father of his grandson was not Indonesian and was a native of eastern descent, precisely Uzbekistan. Alchira's face was slightly different from that of the local babies.
Not long after, Sintia came and sat down beside Winata. His eyes looked bright again and there was no sadness as he had earlier in the day.
" Beautiful, pa ?." Said Sintia whose hand started touching her granddaughter's cheek.
" Yes, just like her grandmother. " Winata answered casually and immediately got a complex look from his wife. Winata returned that gaze with her sweet smile.
" Remember pa's age... I don't think it's like that. " Tukas Sintia looked back at Alchira's face.
" I can still make an aunt for Alchira. " Winata again raised his deathly appeal. And Sintia only glanced for a moment, but a tinge of red on the face, unable to cover it.
" Are you ready to have no more babies ?."
" Papa, it's already !!. The horror !."
" What is the difference...??."
" She...!!" Sintia pinched hard on her husband's thigh.
" Ow...! Ma's. Unleashed... Sick !!. "
Instead of obeying her husband's words to let go of her pinch, Sintia even harder pinch him making Winata scream louder as well
Oekkk !.
The pair headed for the twilight instantly panicked as his grandson suddenly cried loudly
