The Light of ANAS

ExtraPart.12 - The Place Means to Us

“Ye ye ye, hore .. his grandpa Akha is now two-second born, so Akha is not alone anymore at home.” The light cheered happily by raising both of his clenched hands.

Naz, Arfin and his two mothers smiled happily at him.

They also contacted their husbands and other families living in Jakarta to inform them of the twins' birth.

The light that wanted to continue to see his two younger siblings, stood on a chair placed near the beds of the two babies. Because the nena is not strong if you have to continue carrying it for a long time, so he and Bu Rahmi just sit in different chairs accompanying the Light who does not want to move even a little.

While Afin approached the wife who was lying down with the position of the upper bed raised like a bad sofa. He sat on the bed next to his wife. Naz got up and sat down, Arfin hugging him from the side. He rubbed his wife's head and then kissed her.

“Thank you, dear ... already gave me two sons at once. You are great, baby.”

“I also did not expect to be able to give birth to twins with normal labor and a process that is as fast as this.”

“Udah yes, we do not need to add any more children. Three alone is enough, it is very complementary to our small family.”

“Iya .. right I have also installed an IUD, so do not forget to take the Pill again. But, yes if in love again with God, when we want to refuse,” said Naz.

“Not !!” Arfin immediately glared.

“Hehehe .. Yes yes, three aja.”

“I love you so much more than anything, baby,” he said again kissing the head of the wife.

Naz chuckled at her husband's words. “Hmmm, already have three children too, still like dreadlocks.”

“This is not a sheer dreadlocks or boasting, but an expression from Aa's deepest heart. Instead of being answered, even ridiculed.”

“Uluh ten, how to make a snack anyway? Shame dong same kids with his parents like this kind of bundle. Could-be I'd feel like I have three kids but four.”

“Different,” Shall Arfin.

“Sama aja know, you guys like to be pampered with me.”

“But it works differently. If Aa wants to be stroked pampered,” he said kekeuh deny, then the look of his face turned lethargic.

Naz snorted in annoyance.

“Sayang ...” call Arfin.

“Hemmm ...” sahut Naz.

“Holiday again dong forty days?” he whispered in his wife's ear.

“Yassalam .. The stitches are still wet, already discussed the situation, ih” lamented in a soft voice.

“Emang was sewn so?” asked Arfin in shock.

“Yes, the doctor said it was just two stitches, but it still hurts."

“Wah, nice dong. Means it will feel virgin again,” he said is still in whispered mode neighbors. “Aww...you habits ih.” Arfin grimaced in pain as Naz pinched his stomach while glaring at him.

“Kalo talking about it again, I increased the holiday to two months.”

“Iya yes, do not discuss it again.” Arfin was very afraid if he had been threatened about the dispute. “Oh yes, next month you are graduating, right?”

“Iya.” Naz nodded, then his gaze fixed on Light who continued watching his two sleeping siblings. “Aa, look deh... Light looks very happy, because the sister he had been waiting for is now present in front of his eyes.”

“Yes, hopefully he can be a good brother, and our children always get along well and love each other and take care of each other … And may we also be good parents to them, as well as educate them to be great children,”

“Amiin ...” Naz leaned his head against the husband sitting next to him smiling happily at his three children.

The next day, Naz and her twins were allowed to go home. And when they arrived home, they were greeted by Arfin and Naz's parents who had arrived from Jakarta. There is also a babysitter from the foundation who was previously ordered by Dilara.

Greetings along with gifts from family, college friends Naz, parents of his school friend Cahaya, co-workers Arfin, and neighbors also came to each other. The light continued to follow his grandmother who brought his sister, for fear that his sister was brought home to Jakarta by her two grandmothers.

They brought the twins into the room that had been provided. The same is the case with Light when he was a baby, if during the day the twins will be in the room, while the night is taken to sleep in the room of his parents.

The light that did not want to be far from his two sisters also asked to sleep in his parents' room. Since Naz became pregnant, she has been used to sleeping in her own room. Finally in Naz's room was held one more mattress without a bed, because it could not fit if the mattress was used to sleep five.

Light was determined to sleep with his two younger siblings, while his parents slept on different mattresses. Initially Naz allowed, and when Light had slept soundly will be moved to the bottom mattress, so Naz slept in bed with his two babies, while Light slept with his Bagu on the bottom mattress.

**

The next day, Cahaya did not want to go to school because she wanted to stay with her two younger siblings, sono keneh if said Sundanese mah. Arfin and Naz were unable to persuade him, eventually allowing Light to skip but for only one day. The next day Naz gave an ultimatum to Cahaya if not in school, so Cahaya was forbidden to sleep in his room with his two sisters, so he did not want to skip anymore.

Naz had just finished breastfeeding the brother who was then placed in the baby's mattress with his twin who had already slept. He then came out of the nursery, because there was a babysitter who was looking after the sleeping twins.

Naz approached the Light who was drawing with Arfin.

“Akha again what picture?” ask Naz.

“Akha again picture of tertaiiiiii building that likes to be drawn Pagu,” replied Light.

“Wah, it's great Magu's child has pinter picture yes,” Naz gives praise.

“Iya dong, Akha wants to be a Pagu kayak so aspitek."

“Architect, Akha,” Arfin.

“Iya, the.” Light nodded then he stopped the drawing and spoke to Arfin. “Pagu, Akha wants a household,” he said expectantly.

“What?” Naz and Arfin asked in unison, then the two looked at each other in surprise.

“Akha wants a household.” The light repeated his words.

“Akha, dear ... where did you get such a word? who taught Akha to talk like that?” tanya Naz felt strange and astonished.

“Gaktajarin, Akha knows for himself kok,” he said honestly.

“Akha darling …. If you want a household, then if it is big. Akha is still a child."

“But Aqila wants the household to be granted with her fathers."

“Hah?” Naz returned to the field with his husband because he was shocked again.

“Masa sih Akha? That is not possible deh .. Remember yes Magu same Pagu has often taught Akha should not lie loh”

“Akha does not lie, Pagu. Aqila now has a household, Akha also wants a household as well,”

“No way, dear.”

“Ih, Pagu diabolical .. time makes the building tiggi-high can, but make the household can not. Akha wants a household like an oma house, a grandmother's house, a house with stairs. This house has no stairs.”

Arfin and Naz return to face each other. Both of them laughed because since then their conversation was not connected.

“Hahaha, my goodness Akha .. so that means Akha wants a two-story house that is?”

“Hah, two floors?” chaya asked puzzledly, and then looked next to her carpet. “One, two ... ih very small dong if the house is only two floors,” he said again when calculating the number of second floor boxes, which he thought the two floors were really two ceramic floor boxes.

“Hahaha, not Akha ..” Arfin laughed at his daughter's innocence. “ Means those two floors, on top there is another building, said the other was a two-story house. So later if you want to go up using the stairs”

“Oh, yes that's what Akha wants."

“Iya can, but make it not here yes,” said Arfin.

“Why not here?” tanya Light.

“Loh, did Magu have said that we will move to Jakarta, so it is close to the house of oma, nena, same grandma. So later Akha can play with Nala's sister, Haikal, and other cousins."

“But now Akha has a brother, so not lonely. Akha wants to be here aj”

“But Pagu works moved to Jakarta. Does Akha want to be far away from Pagu? Later no one teaches pictures again dong,”

“Don't want .. would like Pagu"

“If so, Akha same Magu and twin sister must join Pagu,” said Naz.

“Akha is school, Magu."

“Later to change schools also to Jakarta.”

“Aqila same Samprot can move too?” tanya Light.

“No, dear ... They will stay here with their parents.”

“Iya, dear ...”

“Akha who will be his friend?”

“Later Akha can play with Nala's sister and her baby's grandpa, there continues to be Haikal as well, and in the new school surely Akha can get many new friends as well,” Naz said giving understanding. “If Akha kangen with Aqila and Syamsir, later can call them, ya” he said again.

The light seemed to think, on the one hand he was happy to be close to his family who had always been far away according to him. But he was also sad if he had to part with his two best friends. He looked down while playing a pencil in his hand with a sad face.

Naz sucked gently on his daughter's head. “Akha, dear .. Even if Akha is far away from Akha's friends who are here, you will still be friends. Can call the same video call as often Akha do with sister Nala and other families who live in Jakarta. Even if it is far away, it will feel close. Later we can come here for the holidays after class, so we can meet again,” said Naz gave an understanding to his daughter.

“For example, Magu same onty Kiara, onty Ruby and om Andes also friends since childhood. We are still friends even though we live far apart. So Akha same Akha friends who are here can also be like that, can make friends until big later. So Akha do not have to be sad, Akha is a child of pinter, great and not crybaby .. Em, like who ya cry?”

“Aska ..”

“Ah, yes Aska .. does Akha want to be said to be crybaby?”

“Gak want .. Akha will be strong, do not like crybaby,” he said did not want to be said. Naz and Arfin smiled anxiously at the look on Light's face.

“Samprot who the hell is it? Kok Pagu did not know yes,” asked Arfin.

“Syamsir,” reply Short light.

“Hah? Called Samprot?”

“She also likes to call Akha, Cahayot”

**

The days of Naz are now more and more colorful with the presence of his three children. Not only that, her husband also sometimes acts like a child who wants to be pampered and noticed as jealous of his three children who always get extra attention from his wife.

So for Naz, have three children but feel like having four children. But it was not made a burden by him, even making him feel very happy, because he felt so meaningful to the child and husband he loved so much.

**

One month has passed, Naz also attended the graduation ceremony as a marker of his graduation who had finished studying for four and a half years at the university where he studied.

The Bachelor of Business Management degree is now being held, with a GPA of 3.81. But he had no intention to work, because his intention was to go to college to find knowledge. And she just wanted to focus on her duties as a wife to her husband and mother to her three children.

Her parents and in-laws were also present, while her brother who was present was only Hardi and Dandy with his wife.

“Happy graduation, my dear .. May the knowledge gained benefit your life dear,” said Arfin who gave a bouquet of flowers, then he hugged his wife and kissed her forehead.

“Thank you .. Thank you very much, because Aa always supported me until I finally could finish her education. I also apologize for bothering you so much, often ignoring you and the Light. But Aa never complained at all, instead continued to give me spirit.”

“Anything for you, darling.”

“Still ...”

One by one congratulated Naz on his graduation and achievement. And after returning from the campus hall, they held a small thanksgiving that had been prepared by her husband and ART without Naz's knowledge, in their home.

Eating and BBQs in the side yard with family alone has made Naz very happy. Because he prefers simple things, and the moment of gathering with family makes him so happy.

--- Five months later ------

Cahaya has completed her school playgroup and she will continue her Kindergarten in Jakarta. The class hike event that was held early for whatever reason, became a parting moment for Light and his friends. The teachers and friends gave mementos to Light and took pictures together for the last time.

The light that is usually not crybaby, continues to cry because it is sad will part with friends who for one year studied and played with him. Especially with Aqila and Shamsir who are his friends. The three hugged while crying, as if about to release Light into the battlefield.

Arfin rented a private jet for their flight, while the goods were transported by container trucks. And after saying goodbye to the family of om Aji and Pak RT and the neighbors, they also left for the airport accompanied by two cars driven by Pak Udin and Pak Uje. Both drivers will take the two cars to Jakarta.

ART who participated was only Mbak Retno with the caretaker of the twins, because the old Mbak Jumin preferred to live in Surabaya which is his homeland, to take care of his employer's house with the help of his daughter.

Now Naz with his family has arrived in Jakarta and was picked up by Bu Hinda who asked them to stay at his residence, before they move to a new house that Naz himself does not know where and what his house is like..

Surely at the house of Miss Hinda, they were welcomed by the Nervan family and Atikah family with their children. Not to forget the four parents of Naz also came to the house of Miss Hinda with Raline and her son.

The light that was initially shy and did not want to escape from Arfin, finally quickly mingled with his cousin's older brothers who were mostly men. Even if they are doing a video call they are very familiar, even they call the Light with the name Akha.

“Akha, let's play in my room,” take Syanala..

“Before Nala,” he said then he approached Naz to ask his permission. After his Magu allowed it, he also went with Syanala to the room that used to be used by Shanala while staying at her house.

The light that has entered the room several times every stay at his house, feel familiar with the room filled with images of spiderman and dolls and accessories spiderman it. They also play dolls while watching Barbie and Spiderman movies.

While Keanu and Kenan who is now six months old, so funny and adorable. And that makes them a prima donna that is contested to be carried in turns by grandmothers and om and tantenya.

The usually quiet house of Bu Hinda is now warm and crowded with the presence of children, daughters-in-law and grandchildren who are mostly men. Only Shanala and Cahaya became the queen duo of the ten grandchildren owned by Bu Hinda and Mr. Latief.

The crowd continued until night. After Naz and Raline's parents leave, Naz and the nanny enter the room to put the twins to sleep.

Shortly Arfin went into the room and approached his wife who was sitting on the bedroom sofa while pumping ASI. “Honey, the twins are asleep?”

“Udah .. like they are tired after being a rotating trophy, hehehe .. oh yes Light has gone to sleep?”

“Already, she tacked on the same Nala.”

“Pastinya, when in Surabaya aja what kaka Nala.”

“Iya .. fortunately the Light is not contaminated so maniac spiderman.”

“Hahaha, I don't know, he loves tedy bear with my rich Barbie when I was a kid”

“Ah, you are also already big still like the same tedy bear. Especially the one that Aa loves, until now it is still there. It used to be taken just like Aliya until it was crying.”

“Iya dong, that was the first doll that Aa gave me.”

“And you were very happy when Aa managed to win the doll from games,” he said chuckling, then he looked at the beautiful bead of the wife by commenting on the smile on her sweet lips. “ From there Aa know, if small and simple things can make you happy.”

“Hehehe.” Naz just smiled, he then stopped his activities, then closed the bottle of ASI that had been filled and put it into the cooler.

“Change clothes,” Arfin's word.

“Hah? Make what? My guy just took a shower half an hour ago. His clothes don't smell too.” Naz sniffed the end of his own shirt.

“Mumpung kids already asleep, we come out yuk. Long time no walk together, it's only 8 pm”

“Where are you going?”

“Whatever it is, the important thing we can ngedate.”

“Yeah, kayak abege only, hahaha,”

“Come dong darling .. “

“Keep later if the twins wake up how?”

“That's milk stock, there are caregivers, ART there are also some people. Can be tipped to Mami,”

“Already, I change clothes first.” Naz got up and walked over to where he had put his suitcase. He picked clothes, trousers and a jacket, then he went into the bathroom to change clothes.

After all the time Naz came out, he took a bag and kissed his two sons who were already sleeping.

“Titip the twins yes Ma'am. Later mbak Retno nemenin guard here, and if there is anything to do with me yes,” he said then leave.

Arfin and Naz entrust the children to their mother, then they leave using Mr. Latief's antic car.

“Where are we going?”

“So, where do you want it?”

“I'm hungry..we go to the cafe yuk. Ruby once said in the area around here there is a cafe today, but the theme is old school. I used to search first on Mbah gugel full address,” said Naz then opened his phone.

After getting the address they also use gugel maps to go to the place.

Arriving there, they ordered food and ate at the two-story cafe. They choose on the top floor, and there is also an outdor theme. They choose to eat inside.

After they finished eating, they went out to enjoy the view of the city at night while sitting on a wooden table facing each other. There only seems quiet visitors who prefer indoors, because the air tonight feels cold.

“It's been a long time since I saw this view of my hometown. And I did not expect, we will stay in the capital again,” Naz said by circulating his views.

“Already at home in Surabaya huh?” Arfin asked what he already knew.

“He em, there are so many memories from before marriage until we have three children.” Naz took a long breath.

“Iya, yes ... It feels like just yesterday Aa met you,” he said then he stood up and approached his wife who was still sitting on the table. Grasping the hand of the wife, then kissed the back of his wife's hand alternately.

“Thank you my dear, already willing to be my life partner and mother of my children. With you Aa always feels infinite happiness,” he said by staring at the two beautiful beads of the wife.

His body drew closer, and his wife lifted her chin. His fingers began to touch the lips of Naz's ranum, and his face drew closer. A light kiss from his lips leads them to a friendly kiss like a couple who are drunk with romance, regardless if they are in a public theme.

After Arfin's hand began to feel the sensitive part, Naz immediately released their lips.

“Cock Ease anyway?” whispered Arfin protest.

“Then ah, this is in a public place. Aa's hands have been flying everywhere else,” said Naz complained.

“We've come home aja yuk, the danger if the guy who just woke up can not vent here,” he said still in whispering mode, then blew Naz's ears that made him squirm because he felt amused.

“Udah yuk ah home,” take Naz who then rise from his seat.

“You can't wait, baby. How if we look for a hotel, at home Mami is a lot of people.”

“Aa do not be crazy deh .. later thought we are a perverted couple.”

“Leave it, perverted husband and wife is obliged to the law,” Arfin quibble.

Both of them decided to leave the cafe to go home soon. And sure enough, Arfin who was driving his car turned towards a five-star hotel to continue his passion that had begun to tempest. Naz could only give up on her husband's wishes, because he wanted the same.

Both are now lying limp after doing heat struggle without having to be silent or afraid to wake their children as usual.

After Arfin received the call, he took his wife home. But the wife had slept soundly without a thread wrapped her body. He dressed his wife, took her in his arms and brought her home.

During the journey Naz slept soundly and when he arrived, his sleep felt disturbed. He slowly opened his eyes with a straight forward look. A confused and strange feeling came to him, as if he was dreaming. As his consciousness began to gather, he rubbed his eyes in fear that he was hallucinating.

“Happy Anniversary, my dear ..” whispered Arfin in Naz's ear. he also set his eyes on the usami who was sitting in the steering wheel.

“Aa .. where is this?” naz asked confusedly.

“A place that means a lot to us,” replied Arfin who made Naz more confused.
