The Step Sister of Tiri

185. Threes

Ayman got out of the room with Baby Ars. He headed for the dining room, where the wife was preparing food for dinner. The man kept smiling at his wife.

"Eh, Mom, Baby Ars is up?" ask Zayna.

"Yes, but thank God it's not crying. He's smart, really," Ayman replied, looking at his son in a sling.

"Mas, just sit down, let me get you a stroller for Baby Ars."

"Let me take it, Neng Neng Zayna just sit down. Must be tired of being busy." Bik Ira also took the stroller in the middle room.

"Mama's not home yet, is she? Do we eat first or wait for them?" zayna asked after sitting on the chair.

"We'll eat first, honey. Just got Papa on the phone, he said there was still family business. Maybe they eat there too."

"Why did you come home from the hospital?"

"Already, there is only Kinan with Hanif. They have to wait for the boy. To this day, no one knows who his family is. No one is looking either. Hanif has also made a report to the police station."

"Is it okay to report to the police, Mas? After all Hanif bumped into the kid."

"It's okay, after all they have to keep making reports. So that in the future it is not a problem. Hanif also brought evidence that he was driving properly. That kid alone might cross over is not careful."

Zayna nodded, herself completely ignorant of what was really going on, but whatever it was, she wished her best to her sister-in-law.

"Not think about it too much. Come on, let's have dinner first. Ars will cry baby later" said Ayman after putting his son in a stroller.

They both enjoyed dinner together. After finishing enjoying his dinner, Ayman and Zayna sat in the living room. They talked to each other while waiting for the arrival of their parents. Baby Ars is in his lap.

While watching television, Zayna's phone rang. The name of Papa Mercy is there. The woman smiled looking at her papa name, immediately she picked it up.

"Hello, assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam, how are you, Na?" ask Papa Grace who is across the phone.

"Alhamdulillah, I've always been good, Pa. Papa himself how's he doing?" ask Zayna back.

"Thank God, thanks to your prayer, Papa is now healed."

"Alhamdulillah, Papa recovered because of Papa's own efforts. I just help you pray, hopefully Papa will be healthy, so that later when I come there Papa can play with Baby Ars."

"God willing Papa will always try to be healthy."

"Amin, hopefully next like that.”

“Your son is asleep, Na?" ask Papa Rahmat.

"Yet, Pa. It's still playing with his dad."

"Papa miss Papa's grandson, can Papa video call? Papa wants to see his face."

"Of course you can, dong, Pa. Let me just change the call with a video call."

Soon Papa Grace lifted him up. It looks so clear Baby Ars face meets the phone screen. The middle-aged man was so happy to see her. Yesterday the time of the aqiqahan event he wanted to come, unfortunately he is in a state of pain.

"Opa's grandson is getting hot. Pray that Opa is always healthy, yes! Let's come there nengokin you."

"Yes, Opah will be waiting for you all to come here."

They also engaged in casual conversation. Ayman only chimed in occasionally.

"Yes already, Na. Papa hang up the phone."

"Yes, Pa. Papa should rest. Remember do not forget to take medicine, let it heal quickly!"

"Yes, Papa will take the medicine. Assalamualaikum."

"Getishalight." Zayna closed the call. He was quite happy to see his Papa improving. I hope the man gets better every day.

Not long after the sound of a car entering the yard. Zayna and Ayman are convinced that it is Papa Hadi and Mama Aisyah's car. Sure enough, the sound of both of them entering the house.

"Nobody slept yet?" asked Mama Aisyah who had just entered the house.

"Yet, Ma. Baby Ars just woke up, too" Ayman replied.

"Same Papa has dinner yet? Want me to get dinner?" ask Zayna.

"No need, we ate outside. Later if hungry again, Mama can ask Bik Ira, you guys should just rest. Especially you Zayna, must be tired of not taking care of Baby Ars alone."

"It's okay, Ma. It's my job."

"Yes, we'll take a shower first. You rest" said Mama Aisyah who then went into the room with her husband.

"Come on, honey, we're taking a break too. Right said Mama, you must be tired all day to take care of Baby Ars himself," asked Ayman after his parents were not seen.

"No, Mas. I'm not tired, though! I was just happy to take care of Baby Ars himself" said Zayna.

"Yes, let's take a break! Baby Ars is sleepy as well."

Zayna looked at her son and sure enough, the little baby looked very sleepy from yawning several times. The woman followed her husband to his room. Once in the room, Ayman asked his wife to rest, while he would put Baby Ars to sleep.

"Mas, maybe Baby Ars is hungry, since he woke up, he has not been drinking breast milk. I'd better love ASI first, then you'll put her to bed" said Zayna who had seen her son who continued to move, like uncomfortable.

Ayman looked at his son. Zayna said the baby was looking for something.

"Yes, this is you give me a drink first. I want to clean up, I'll carry Baby Ars again" said Ayman who then went into the bathroom, while Zayna gave breast milk to her son, until the baby fell asleep. The woman smiled looking at her son who was sleeping so soundly on her lap.

"If you sleep easier together, huh, honey? Dikasih ASI has gone straight to sleep," said Ayman who just came out of the bathroom.

"Yes, how else, Mom. The source of her life will be me" Zayna replied, making Ayman laugh.

What his wife said was true. Baby Ars is easy to sleep when drinking breast milk so, without being overwritten the baby must have fallen asleep. Unlike her tired self, she can just fall asleep.

"Let me put it in the box. You just go to sleep" said Zayna, who was embraced by Ayman.

The man threw himself down, while Zayna went to the bathroom first, after which followed the husband to dreamland.
