The night is getting late. After being satisfied to invite Ziyyan to play in the city park finally Zayn and Tommy decided to go home. Tommy went straight back to his house, and Zayn and Ziyyan went straight back to his apartment.
The father and son arrived at his apartment at exactly nine p.m. Feeling like it was time for Ziyyan to sleep, Zayn immediately helped Ziyyan to brush her teeth and wash her face and wash her feet and hands before she took her to bed.
After everything was done Zayn accompanied his son to sleep beside him, so that the boy could quickly fall asleep. But it was not that easy to put Ziyyan to bed. The boy still looked completely sleepy, visible from the twinkle of his eyes that seemed to drift with his own mind.
"Ziyyan," Zayn said as she stroked her son's soft cheeks.
"Yes, Dad," he said.
"You're not sleepy? Let's go to sleep, son? It's late" she asked, giving him a kiss on her tiny cheek.
The boy then shook his head, looking out from the look in his eyes there seemed to be something he was thinking about.
"Dad," he said later.
"Hmmm...." Zayn gently rubbed the tip of Ziyyan's head.
"Why don't you sleep together?" The question is very plain.
Zayn gasped when he heard it. That truant kid asking something like that? Where did he grow that kind of thought? Zayn started to get a little confused to answer Ziyyan's question.
"Ziyyan kangen?" The question began to shift the topic to another.
Ziyyan shook her head quickly. "I've seen his mother Nabil's father sleep together" he explained.
Zayn began to squint his eyes. His mind began to move everywhere. Don't-don't you?
"Sleep together?" Ask curiously.
Ziyyan nodded, then sat down and changed her pillow position in a neat row.
"Here is my father, here is Iyyan, and here is my mother" he said, pointing at each of the pillows he had on his face.
Ziyyan said and did so because she had met Nabil, her playmate in the village, while sleeping with her parents. And Nabil's position at that time was in the middle or in the flank by his parents.
Seeing all that, of course he also wanted it to happen to him. Feel the complete affection of both parents. Because now the boy thought his father had returned home from work, so he asked Zayn about it.
Zayn awoke from his bed. He understood what the question of his son meant. According to him, maybe Ziyyan had seen one of his friends first while in the village sleeping with his parents.
Zayn slowly embraces Ziyyan's tiny body, takes her in the lap of his affection and kisses her in a row.
"Dad, Iyyan's ticklish." He was still kissing Zayn.
Zayn looked at the netra of his son, he did not feel began to glaze at how unfortunate Ziyyan had been. Because of his actions, because of his cowardice to make Ziyyan feel the lack of affection from a whole family.
"Ziyyan wants me to be with you again?"
The boy nodded in spirit.
"Pater's praying yes" he said, cupping Ziyyan's cheek with both hands.
"Dad quarreled with mother?" Ask again that makes Zayn again confused must answer how the question is.
"Why did you cry?"
The incident when Ara and Zayn last afternoon was enough to make the boy curious. According to his innocent thinking, if there were two people who were arguing and then crying they would definitely be fighting. Like when he played with his friends in the village.
"Dad mother does not fight." Zayn immediately laid back Ziyyan's tiny body.
"Let's sleep. It's Ziyyan's night." Now Zayn rubbed his back gently.
And Ziyyan still did not close her eyes.
Zayn also felt that his son was very difficult to sleep maybe because he was not used to sleeping with him. Or it could be because it is used to sleeping accompanied by Ara.
"Tomorrow early in the morning Ziyyan's father went to Haris' grandfather's house. Then tomorrow Ziyyan can see you again. Let's sleep!"
Zayn said that his goal was for Ziyyan to fall asleep immediately, no longer remembering her mother.
"No!" Ziyyan immediately shook her head.
"Iyyan won't go home. Iyyan wants the same father here," he said later.
"Well, how will you?" Zayn asked curiously.
But Ziyyan deliberately did not answer him. The boy remembered his promise to Tommy not to tell him about the deal. Because actually Tommy was the one who told the boy to stay at Zayn's house, if you want to see his parents together again.

In a different place....
Ara looks very agitated tonight. His body continued to move change, from sleeping on his back, tilted to the left and then turned to turn to the right until stretched again. He who is used to sleeping with his son, of course, now feels worried and confused with his innocent behavior. It was still a day when he was not with her.
"Lo why the hell, Ra?"
Sisil who happened to be sleeping next to him was disturbed by Ara's movements that were very agitated.
After they met again, Sisil finally decided to spend the night at Ara's house. He was very confused with a friend who was also a cousin with him.
"I am not well asleep, Sil," he said, tilting his body so that he could face each other with Sisil.
"Yes, why?"
"Kangen Ziyyan," he said while not feeling the clear circle was already bristling in his eyes.
Sisil breathed his heavy breath. Of course he was unable to say anything more when it came to Ziyyan. Everywhere a mother must have her own anxiety with her child who is far from her eyes.
"So Zayn said when do you want to send Ziyyan?"
"Tomorrow in the morning" he replied weakly.
"Yes elaaah.... Just wait for tomorrow morning! Pake wants to leave everything."
"But I really think about him, Sil. How about later if he wants to eat, if he wants to take a shower, change clothes, want to poke." Her tears finally escaped.
"Udah, don't think too much. Ziyyan is again the same father, justin aja he knows how to bother taking care of children alone. If I need to pray that Ziyyan over there is fussy, let's overwhelm her to keep Ziyyan alone." Sisil said at length.
"Don't that dong, Sil." Ara felt objected to hearing Sisil's words praying for Ziyyan to fuss over there.
Sisil jumped in shock at Ara's words. "So you can't accept me praying Zayn is overwhelmed with Ziyyan?"
"That's not what I mean!" Ara stared furiously at Sisil when she heard his question.
"Yes, there's still some leftover flavor for that person."
Ara bellowed furiously when she heard Sisil who expected her to still have a taste for Zayn. He also chose to turn his back on the girl rather than having to serve her nonsense that has led to a very lazy man he discussed about her.
"Mom..." Sisil touched the shoulder of Ara who was behind him.
"Hmmm...." Ara remained in her position.
"Before Aunt Vi said, I'd like to say something to you."
"What by the way?" Ara said lazily.
"On your matchmaking plan is the same." Sisil was still hesitant to say it.
Hearing the word matchmaking Ara came back face to face towards Sisil. He looked at her, waiting to continue his words.
"Tante Vi is planning to match you with Keanu." Sisil said it with complete confidence.
"Keanu?" Ara's forehead immediately frowned as Sisil said his name.
And Sisil could only nod.
"Had Keanu suddenly come here? So that's because my mom invited him on purpose?" Ara began to struggle with her own thoughts.
"Hey, you want to be with Keanu?"
Why must Keanu? Why not just try something else? If it wasn't Keanu, maybe Ara would have considered it. Although in fact his heart is still difficult to open with any man.
"I personally think, mending you want to be the same Keanu. Do'ikan still love the same lo, let alone who would doubt from him?" It was obvious that Sisil supported Ara to choose Keanu.
It seemed that Ara was just sighing heavily. Frankly, he was not ready with all the plans of his mother. In silence, he realized that they picked him back home just because they wanted to match him, and then married him.
The huft! Ara felt a little disappointed with the family plan leaked by Sisil.
