The Sacrifice of Nayra

Alina's Return

Satu tahun kemudian..

Rama and his secretary are getting ready to take part in a project tender at the Anggara Corporation company. As usual, Rama is always optimistic and confident every time he takes the tender. He always believed he would win. Moreover, there is a wife who always prays for her success. Plus his two children, Kyara and Daniel who make Rama always spirit in work.

Rama was followed by his secretary walking into the meeting room which had been shown by one of the staff. As soon as he entered the meeting room, Rama gasped in surprise when he saw Aditya in the room.

"Aditya, why are you here?" rama asked in surprise.

"Mas Rama, long time we did not meet. I'd like to tender for Wirata Architects"

"Do you work at Wirata Architects?"

"Yes"

Rama was shocked. He did not expect that Aditya now works at one of the best architectural companies in Jakarta. Wirata Architects is one of its competitors. And now he will compete against Aditya for the tender of the project.

Rama and his secretary occupied their seats. Shortly thereafter, Raffi Bastian Anggara, CEO of Anggara Corporation and his assistant entered the meeting room. Raffi himself will lead the tender meeting this time.

Rama, Aditya and several participants from other companies also took turns to present their designs in front of Raffi.

THAT AFTERNOON

Rama came home from the office with a disheveled and lethargic face. Nayra welcomed her husband's return in surprise.

"You why Mas? Why does your face look so tangled? Did you lose the tender?"

Rama did not answer immediately. He sat down and leaned his back on the sofa to unwind. Nayra sat beside him.

"Darling, you wouldn't believe who won the tender?"

"Who is Mas?" asked Nayra curiously.

"Aditya"

Nayra gasp.

"Huh Aditya? You mean Mas Adit?"

Rama nodded slowly.

"I really didn't expect. Now Aditya works at Wirata Architects. He won the tender. From the beginning, I was sure I would win. But I turned out to lose. I've lost to Aditya"

Rama took a long breath. He looks very disappointed. Nayra also grasped Rama's hand to give him spirit.

"Here you go, not pa pa pa. Maybe it's not our sustenance yet. Next time you will win. The spirit!"

The cup!

Nayra landed her lips on her husband's left cheek.

Rama smiles after getting 'vitamin c' from Nayra.

"Thank you dear. I'm lucky to have a wife like you"

Nayra was smiling.

"I'm making you hot chocolate! Let your mood be good"

"Yes dear. Oh yeah Kyara same Daniel where? Why aren't they visible?"

"They played with Santi in Kyara's room"

Rama also stood up after his sons. While Nayra went to the kitchen to make hot chocolate.

Rama smiled when he saw his two children playing together. His fatigue seemed to disappear instantly upon seeing his two children.

"Why are you home?" kyara exclaimed after seeing her papa coming.

"Udah darling. What are you guys playing?"

"Kiya again playing lego same adek Pah"

Seeing his father coming, Daniel stood up and walked over to his father.

"Pa. pa." said Daniel, raising his hands and asking to be carried.

Rama took Daniel.

"Darling, you miss Papa? Papa also misses you. muah.." Rama kissed Daniel's piercing cheek with his wrath.

Daniel is now one year old. He could walk and talk a little. Kyara is now four and a half years old and has been attending Kindergarten.

"This is your hot chocolate mas" Nayra said as she extended a cup of hot chocolate to Rama.

"Bless you dear" Rama drank his chocolate.

"Oh, baby, Alina called me. He said today he was going back to Indonesia. God willing, he'll come by tomorrow. He said he wanted to see Daniel"

"Oh yeah? I miss Alina, Mas. Tomorrow I'll cook something special to welcome him"

***

After two years of study in America, Alina earned her master's degree. Now he is getting ready to go home. He called his parents to pick him up at the airport.

"Alina, Mama misses you dear" said Bu Maya as she hugged her daughter tightly.

"Alin also misses Mama"

After that, Alina hugged Mr. Samsul.

"Alina, welcome home, baby. Papa misses you altogether"

"Alin too Pa"

"Ma, Pa, Alin really wanted to meet Daniel and Kyara. They must be big now"

"Yes. Daniel can walk. We'll stop by your sister's house for a minute. They must also miss you, Alina" said Maya.

"Yes Ma. Alin also brought souvenirs for Kyara and Daniel"

Before returning to Bogor, the three of them also stopped by Rama's house first.

Rama, Nayra, Kyara and Daniel welcomed their arrival with joy.

"Alina, you're getting prettier now. I miss you" Nayra hugged Alina.

"I miss my sister-in-law too"

"Sister Rama" Alina hugged her brother.

"Sister is really proud of you Alina. Finally you managed to finish your MBA well in America"

"False Brother"

Alina looked at Daniel who was being carried by Sister Santi.

"This must be Daniel, right? Masya Allah, handsome Aunt's niece" Alina kissed Daniel's cheeks.

"Kyara, you're also big and beautiful" Alina kissed Kyara's cheeks.

"Oh yeah, Auntie has a gift for you both"

Alina also gave toys to her two nephews. Kyara and Daniel are very happy.

"Thank You Aunt" said Kyara.

"Beloved together"

Kyara and Daniel open their new toy and play it together. Mr. Samsul and Ms. Maya accompanied their two grandchildren to play.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck..

Suddenly someone knocked the door of Rama's house open. Everyone looked towards the door. It turned out to be a courier who delivered architecture magazine subscription Rama. Nayra approached the courier.

"Good day, ma'am, I want to deliver a magazine ordered by Mr. Rama" the courier said, handing over a magazine.

"Oh yes Mas. Thanks yeah!"

"Sama-sama Ma'am. Excuse me"

Nayra also saw the magazine cover. How surprised he was when he saw the name 'Aditya Kusuma Wardhana' plastered on the cover of the magazine for the last time.

"What's the matter, baby?" rama asked in surprise when he saw Nayra's facial expression.

"Mas Adit is in the magazine again, Mas. Let's see this!"

The deg!

Suddenly Alina's heart was racing when she heard Aditya's name.

During these two years Alina has never been in contact with Aditya again. He only heard news of Aditya from Nayra. In the past, Nayra had told me that Aditya had won the Great Mosque design contest held by the Governor of Central Java. And since then, Aditya became one of the famous designers in Indonesia. Every month his designs always appear in his subscription architecture magazine.
