"It's pretty, like the tantenya." The man praised Baby Zie. But his eyes shifted to me. I pretended to be cute, and kept taking pictures of her with Baby Zie.
"It's already! It's your HP!" I took Baby Zie from her carrier.
"Thank you Mbk. I'm sorry if I can tell whose name is Ma'am?" The man was making small talk.
Baby Zie wakes up and cries. Not having time to answer his question, I immediately announced that I would bring a lot of Zie to his Mama.
"Dik! Baby Zie's up, probably thirsty." I handed Baby Zie to her Mama. Sofi goes into her room to give ASI. Indeed Baby Zie is loved ASI, but also assisted formula milk. Because the ASI of Sofi is not smooth, and later Baby Zie will often be left behind by his mother.
All the guests have gone home, only a few families have come home.
"Tante Rai! Alfan wants to get ice cream." Alfano came whining to me.
"Where's your Mama, son?"
"In the toilet, again with Fia pup."
"Yes, come on! Aunt interracial." I took Alfano's hand to the mini market in front of Sofi's house. In the mini market, we met the man who asked for a photo with Baby Zie earlier.
"Hey hotshot, what are you going to buy?" He approached and greeted Alfano, then glanced at me.
"Om Ical, I want ice cream." Apparently Alfano already knew the name of this man now.
"Let's choose what you like, let Om pay. Take it for your twin too! My aunt also told me to take it!" Ucaonya, back to my glance.
"Sorry, no need to bother! I brought money. Let me pay for it myself."
"It's okay, Ma'am! I want to buy it."
I don't want to argue, I'm not going to be too long. Alfan took some ice cream into the basket. And then we went to the cashier.
"Sir, add one cigarette." The man, called Om Ical, pointed to a cigarette behind the cashier.
"Have Sir?" Cashier confirm.
The man looked at me, "don't you want to buy something?" He asked me.
"No, thank you." My answer.
" A total of one hundred and fifty-two thousand sir."
" It's Mommy." He gave me two pieces of red money.
"Thank you sir." The cashier gave me the change.
The three of us got out of the mini market, and crossed the highway to return to Sofi's house. Right now we were holding three hands, with Alfan in the middle, his left hand holding my hand and his right hand holding the man's hand. If people see it, maybe we think we are a harmonious family saru. I was about to remove my arm from Alfan, but alfan tightened his arm. Alfan invited the man to chat, I walked over without opening my voice.
At Sofi's house, Mbak Rindi and Mas Rendy were sitting in the front garden accompanying Fia to see ornamental fish. With an intimidating look, Mbak Rindi noticed us walking closer to her.
"Your son, Ma'am! I bought ice cream!" I told Mbak Rindi.
"Ehm..my son yes! Is it not just your mode? Tell me you want to go together, but my son is an excuse!"
"Alfan asked for Ma." Alfan plainly said, making his mother misbehave. His intentions only tempt us
"How come you guys know Rai?" I didn't answer Rindi's question.
Alfan was busy eating his ice cream and halving the ice cream to his twin.
"Oh that, acquaintance first! who knows if there's a way to Rhoma!" Gurau Mbak Rindi's.
"My name is Faisal! but friends used to call me Ical." Faisal was about to shake hands with me, but was pushed aside by Mas Rendy.
"Not muhrim, Cal! Raisya can't want you to salami." Faisal scratched his non-itchy nape. "Sorry!" He returned with a wrong attitude.
"I'm Raisya, Mas." I cupped both hands to my chest. "Sorry, I didn't have time to answer because Baby Zie was crying."
"I don't think you want my acquaintance." Saying back. I just smiled and looked down.
"Ehm ehm.. his acquaintance continued sometime Cal! We're going home. That's if you're still interested in acquaintances!" Rindi's brother chimed in.
I was just shaking my head in response to Mbak Rindi's words. My cousin is really cool and likes to joke."You have to try hard!" Rindi whispered to Faisal.
I heard it though it wasn't very clear, then I parted and went inside leaving them.
"Where are you Rai?"Ummy asked.
"Nganterin Alfan buy ice cream in front, Ummi."
"yes let's go home Rai, Ummi has said goodbye to Sofi and Irfan's parents."
We also went home. Our house feels lonely, because now Sofi and Baby Zie have returned to their house.There will be no baby crying sound that I will hear every day. Ummi would definitely visit his grandson often. He loves Baby Zie. It is true that the word of the person's affection for children will decrease when there are grandchildren. Grandchildren are their priority.
Lately Ummi was very enthusiastic to tell me to get married again. Ummi didn't want me to feel lonely, and it was always the talk of people.
FLASH BACK ON
When Sofi had just left the house, and brought Baby Zie back to her house.
"Rai, haven't you found anyone meaningful in your life, son?"
"I mean Ummi?"
"I mean Ummi, don't you have a moor? That girlfriend."
"No! Ummi knew for himself, Rai rarely had any male friends. And Rai is also not going out. Rai is not afraid of Ummi's heartbreak, but Rai is afraid of Allah's wrath. Abi always advised, if there is anything serious with Rai, just go to Abi!"
"Then how can you find someone serious with you Rai? You don't have any close friends, you're always busy teaching! Ummi does not want to see you lonely, Sofi has found happiness. As parents, we also want to see you have a family. We're still healthy, Rai."
"Rai always prayed'a, so that Ummi and Abi were given health and longevity. So that someday I can see Rai happy."
"But Ummi beg you, Rai! Do not close yourself if someone approaches you. There's no harm in knowing, who knows that's your soul mate's way.
"God willing Ummi, just pray."
"Ummi always prays for you. The children of Ummi, no one Ummi distinguished. You're the same in Ummi's heart."
"Thank you Ummi." I hugged Ummi from the side.
It was sad to hear Ummi's request. I can't do anything, Ummi and Abi can't match me anymore either. They already felt like selfish parents in my past marriage. And I never blamed them, this was all Qodarullah.
FLASH BACK OFF
