The Sacrifice of Nayra

Kyara's Birthday

After Nayra became pregnant, Rama became a very protective husband. Now he never overtime and never accepts projects out of town or abroad. Because Rama wants to always be next to Nayra, guarding and protecting her until she gives birth later.

The age of Nayra's womb has stepped on three months. And for a month now Nayra has stopped working. Nayra busies herself by escorting and accompanying Kyara at her new school. This year Nayra has already enrolled Kyara at PAUD school. Kyara is very happy because all day she is accompanied by her mother, both at school and at home.

That afternoon Nayra and Santi's mother accompanied Kyara to play in her room.

"Mommy.. When was the baby deck born?" kyara asked as she stroked and kissed her mother's stomach.

"Still a long time, dear. Patience is!"

"You're already born, Kiya wants to take the baby deck to school with Kiya"

Nayra and Santi laughed.

***

That night Rama and Nayra talked before they went to sleep. Nayra sat leaning against the bed. Rama lay down and laid his head on Nayra's thigh. Rama caressed and kissed his wife.

"Honey, this is papa.. What are you doing in there? I can't wait to see you"

Nayra just smiled as she gently stroked her husband's hair.

"Mas, you want a baby girl what baby boy?"

"We have Kyara. So I want a baby boy. Let it be later if it's big, he could be a great architect like his papa"

"If only a baby girl would be born?"

"Yes pa pa pa, can we make another child until we get a baby boy?"

Nayra laughs.

"How many children do you want?"

"A lot"

"What?"

Nayra pinched her husband's nose.

"I'm just kidding, baby. If it could be three, girls, guys, keep going again"

"May God grant you?"

"Aamiin"

"Oh yes Mas, next week Kyara's birthday" Nayra said with some hesitation.

Suddenly the look on Rama's face changed. Her memories revolved back when Kyara was born into this world three years ago. Less than 24 hours after Kyara was born, Aisha left her for good. Rama's eyes glazed over each time remembering the event. The saddest event of his life.

"Sorry Mas, you must remember the same Ma'am Aisha"

Rama nodded slowly.

Nayra also felt what her husband felt. The loss of someone much loved.

"But baby, it's all over. Aisha was calm at his side. What matters now is that I have you, Kyara and our baby-to-be. You are everything to me"

Nayra nodded.

"Are we going to celebrate Kyara's birthday this year?"

"As much as you love"

"What if we had a little party at home? We invited Kyara's schoolmates. He must be very happy"

"alright. You just set it up! Remember, don't be too tired! Take care of our baby!"

"Yes, you don't have to worry! We can use EO services. I also want to invite mom, papa and mom. All of us make a pilgrimage to Aunt Aisha's grave"

Rama nodded.

When Kyara had her first and second birthday, they never celebrated. Because every time Kyara has a birthday, they are always reminded of the death of Aisha.

***

It's Kyara's birthday. Santi's mom has dressed up Kyara. Kyara looks very pretty wearing a purple tutu dress. His long, black hair was pinched in two.

The EO has designed the living room into a very beautiful party room with colorful balloons. Food and drinks are also available. Barbie doll-shaped birthday cake is also ready. There is also a stage and a birthday clown that will entertain the guests.

They all sang 'Happy Birthday' to Kyara while applauding.

Happy birthday to you..

Happy birthday to you..

Happy birthday to Kyara,

May the long life....

After that, Kyara blew out the number 3 candle and cut the cake.

"Whose first cookie is for you, baby?" ask Nayra.

"Make Mama"

Nayra smiled happily. He receives the first piece of cake from Kyara and kisses her cheeks.

"Happy birthday dear, may God bless you with health and a long life. May you grow up to be a child who is sholehah, pinter, devoted to parents and useful to religion, nation and country.."

"Aamiin" said everyone.

And the second piece of cake, given to Rama.

"Dear papa's son, happy birthday, baby!" Rama kissed Kyara on both cheeks.

"Thank You Pah"

The guests took turns congratulating Kyara. After that, they are welcome to enjoy the dishes that have been provided while seeing a very funny clown show. They all laughed happily.

Rama and Nayra were very grateful for the happiness they had gained after passing various exams in their household.

"Thank you very much" Rama told Nayra.

"What's it for?"

"For everything. Thank you for being present in my life. Thank you for being my wife, and mother of my children"

"Sama-sama Mas's. Thank you for being the husband and father of my children"

They both smiled happily.

***

After the event was over, Rama invited his family and the ART to make a pilgrimage to Aisha's tomb. Nayra, Bu Aini and Bu Maya bring flowers to Aisha. They all gave Al-Fatihah to the deceased.

'Ma'am Aisha, look at your daughter Kyara! Today he is three years old. She's so beautiful, isn't she like you? He also attended PAUD school. You must be so proud to have a daughter as beautiful and as smart as Kyara. Thank you Ma'am, because you have made me a mother. Thank you also for giving me a husband as good as Mas Rama' Nayra said in her heart.

'Aisha, I came to visit you. May you be happy by His side. I'm so grateful to you, because you've given me two really great women. They are very meaningful women in my life right now, Nayra and Kyara Rama murmured inwardly.

'Aisha.. I came to visit you, son. Hope you calm down there. Nayra has been taking care of your children and husband very well, ' muttered Bu Aini in her heart.
