The Sacrifice of Nayra

Sleeping One Bed

After making a pilgrimage to Aisha's tomb, Pak Surya told Nayra, Rama and Bu Aini to return to Kalimantan.

"Nayra, I have to go back to Kalimantan. Take good care of yourself! I love you"

Mr. Surya kissed Nayra's forehead. Then Nayra hugged her father for a while.

"Nayra loves Dad too. I have to promise Nayra that I'll always tell Nayra"

"God willing Nayra"

"Son Rama. Dad, take Nayra! Please take good care of her"

"Yes Dad"

"Here, I'm going first"

"Yes Mas"

Mr. Bayu and Ms. Yasmin also decided to go back to Solo. After that, Rama took Nayra and Bu Aini home. Along the way, they just quietly serve their respective minds.

***

Since returning home from Aisha's grave, Rama had only confined himself in a room. Rama only comes out when Alina calls him to dinner with her family. After dinner, Rama went straight back to his room. Nayra only noticed Rama walking up the stairs.

After dinner, Nayra sat down to chat with Ms. Aini, Alina, Mr. Syamsul and Ms. Maya in the living room. Baby Kyara happened to be asleep.

"Nay you are married to Rama. Why don't you move to Rama's room?" ask Alina.

"Yes Nayra. Alina's right. You just move to Rama's room. Take Kyara with you!" Bu Maya chimed.

"But... Nayra did not dare Ma. Nayra was afraid of disturbing Mas Rama"

"Nayra, you are now Rama's wife. You should have slept in the room with him. Do your job as a wife!" ma'am Maya's.

"Nayra, quickly follow Rama to his room!" exclaim Mr. Syamsul.

Nayra looked at Ms. Aini. Aini nodded her head in agreement. Then Nayra stood up and went to her room to pick up Kyara and a bag of baby supplies.

With some hesitation, Nayra walked up the stairs to Rama's room. Arriving in front of Rama's room, Nayra stopped her steps. Nayra hesitated to knock on the door of Rama's room.

'Bismillah... Oh my God, hopefully Mas Rama is not angry' Inner Nayra.

Nayra also ventured to knock on the door of Rama's room.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck...

Chequek!

Shortly afterwards Rama opened the door. Rama surprise. She did not expect that the one behind the door of her room turned out to be Nayra who was carrying Kyara.

"Nayra?"

"Sorry Mas Rama, am I bothering you? I was told by my mom to sleep in your room"

"What?"

"Actually I don't want Mas either, but they forced me. I can't do anything about it. If Mas Rama objects, I'll go back to my room"

Rama was silent for a moment to think.

"Come in!" raama then.

'uh? Why did Rama tell me to come in? God, I can't imagine what's going to happen tonight. Will Rama do anything with me? Oh my... I'm really not ready'

"You why Nay? Come inside!"

"Emh, yes, my mother"

Nayra's heart was pounding. Nayra was scared. With hesitation Nayra forced her feet to step into Rama's room. Rama closed the door to his room. Nayra was scared. His heart is beating unbecoming. Rama slowly walked over to him. Nayra spontaneously retreated her steps backwards.

'Why did he retreat?' Rama was astonished.

Rama is getting closer to Nayra. And Nayra just kept rewinding her steps until her body hit the wall.

"Don't Mas!" Nayra spontaneously closed her eyes as Rama was right in front of her. Their distance is only a few inches.

"Why are you Nay?" rama asked in surprise.

Rama takes Kyara from Nayra's hands. Nayra opened her eyes.

'Kyara? Gosh darn.. Does Mas Rama want to take Kyara? Aaaarghhh... Where will I put my face? I think Mas Rama wants to do things with me. You really are a fool Nayra' Nayra lowered her face in shame.

"Sorry, I think Mas Rama would..." Nayra was unable to continue her words.

"I just want to carry Kyara" said Rama.

"Do you think I want to do anything to you?"

Nayra rounded her eyes. Nayra did not think that Rama could read his mind.

Rama kisses both cheeks of baby Kyara and puts them in a baby box. After that, Rama dropped his body on the bed. While Nayra still did not move from where she stood. Nayra was only Rama who had been lying on the bed.

"Why are you still standing there? Sleep on!" exclaim Rama.

"I'm. I'm just gonna sleep on the couch"

"Just sleep here! Don't worry, I won't do anything"

Nayra placed the bag containing Kyara's equipment on the table. After that, Nayra hesitantly climbed onto the bed and laid her body next to Rama. Nayra's heart was pounding. This time he slept in a bed with a man. Nayra glanced at Rama. Rama closed his eyes.

'So soon he sleeps' Nayra's inner.

Nayra looked at the clock hanging on the wall of the room. The clock showed at nine o'clock in the evening. Actually Nayra's eyes are sleepy. But somehow he's hard to sleep. Maybe because he's not used to sleeping with strangers. Yes, even though Rama is legally her husband, but Rama feels like a stranger to Nayra.

'Let me marry Mas Adit. Maybe tonight will be the most beautiful night for both of us'

Nayra let out a long breath.

'I'm sorry Mas Adit, because I betrayed our love'

Aditya's face is reflected in Nayra's memory. Shortly thereafter, Nayra fell asleep in her sleep.

***

"Oeekk... Oeeekk..."

Kyara's cry made Nayra suddenly wake up from her sleep. Nayra surprise. She wakes up and approaches Kyara in her baby box.

"Cup cup baby..why are you?" nayra said as she patted Kyara's thigh slowly.

Nayra puts her index finger on Kyara's tiny lips. Kyara sucks Nayra's index finger.

"Darling, are you thirsty? Just a minute, Mama's making milk first"

"Oeekk.... Oeeekk...."

Nayra immediately made formula milk for Kyara. Rama opened his eyes to hear the sound of the baby crying.

"Kyara why Nay?" Rama wakes up and approaches Kyara in her baby box.

"Kyara Haus Mas. I'm making him milk"

Rama holds Kyara and tries to calm her down.

"Cup cup cup... Papa's son thirsty huh?"

"Oeeekkk.. Oeeekkkkk" Kyara's crying voice grew louder.

Nayra's done making milk. He also approached Rama.

"Here you are, let me be the fat one!"

Rama hands Kyara over to Nayra. Nayra holds Kyara and gives her milk. Kyara stopped crying and drank her milk greedily.

Rama sat on the edge of the bed watching Nayra. Nayra felt uneasy because Rama had been watching him. Rama's gaze made his heart flutter. Nayra lowered her face.

After drinking milk, Kyara fell asleep again. Nayra puts Kyara back in her baby box. Then Nayra went back to bed.

"Thank you Nay"

"Make what? Kyara is now my responsibility"

Nayra laid her body against Rama. Rama laid his body against Nayra. They both slept in their sleep.
