The Story of Dara

CHAPTER 63. The arrival of Eliana

After being satisfied with her hugs and cries, Dara immediately pulled her body from Bu Selfi's embrace.

"Doain Dara may you get pregnant soon, Mom? let me be the same Mom can quickly hold a grandchild," said Dara wiping her tears staring at Bu Selfi.

"Mother will continue to pray for you Ra," said Bu Selfi stroking Dara's head gently, "Every mother prostrate, in the third of Mother's night, just to ask for kindness for you and your sister."

"Thank you Mom, I believe the power of your prayers will always follow me, and will always make me happy Mom," said Dara staring fixedly at the face of a woman who still looks beautiful inedible age.

Trrrrttt trrrttt Dara's cell phone that was beside Erfan rang, making Dara turn her head before wiping her tears. "Who is Mas?" tanya Dara stood looking at Erfan who had taken his phone.

"Unknown number Ra!" Erfan replied after looking at Dara's phone screen.

Dara wiped her tears back before sitting on the bed beside Erfan, taking over the phone from her husband's hand before sliding the green button on her screen.

"Hello." Dara raised the call.

"Halo Ra, I'm Aditya, am I bothering you Ra?"

"What's wrong, brother?" said Dara hesitantly looking at Mom and her husband alternately.

"Do you want to see El Ra? she kept crying for her mother,"

"I have permission from my husband first, brother?" dara's reply made Erfan even more curious.

"You're married?"

"It's Brother."

"Do you need my help to ask Ra's permission? I can't bear to see El crying, after meeting you at the mall yesterday he got so hard to eat and sleep, the more often looking for his Mama." Aditya's words make Dara's soft heart become Iba.

"If your husband is uncomfortable with me, Eliana can be accompanied by Mega, without me." Aditya said again begging.

"I talked to my husband first, brother? I'll share the location of my address to Kak Aditya's phone."

Dara's last sentence was enough to make Erfan's curiosity disappear, replaced by a feeling of annoyance that he tried to hold because there was a Bu Selfi in front of him.

"Who's Ra?" ask Bu Selfi after Dara closes the call.

"Sister Aditya Bu, her husband Mitha," said Dara before putting her phone on the bed, glancing at her husband's face that began to change.

"Mitha's your college friend? who got pregnant while still in college and craved for fried sausage with Mom?" bu Selfi asked as she recalled her memories with Mitha.

"How is he doing now? what age is her child now? ask Bu Selfi again.

"A year ago, Mitha had a car accident, which left her dead." Answer Dara seseku.

"innalillahi wa innailaihi rojiun," said Bu Selfi smothering his gaping mouth in shock.

"Leaving her young son, still two years old,"

"Yes Allah.pity his son." said Bu Selfi pity.

"Mas...," said Dara looking at Erfan, sighing briefly trying to string the words to touch her husband's heart, so as to allow him to meet with Eliana.

"Can I see El Mas? El's just gonna come with his baby sitter." Dara said.

"Tell me here Ra, I want to see Mitha's son too." Bu Selfi's words made Dara take her eyes off Erfan.

"Can I? mom allowed it." Dara asked again looking at Erfan, hoping to be anxious with her husband's answer.

Dara's smile instantly expanded upon seeing a small nod from her husband's head. "Thank you....." Said Dara smilingly looking at Erfan.

Dara immediately retrieved the phone on her bed, shifted the screen before sending the location of her parents' home address to Aditya's phone.

Erfan smiled slightly when he saw the happy hue on his wife's face, meeting with Eliana was enough to make Dara forget the sadness she had felt earlier.

Mr. Herman's living room wall clock has shown at three in the afternoon, Dara was seen pacing back and forth on the porch of the house while several times looking out the fence waiting for the arrival of Aditya's car.

"Sit here lo Ra...." Said Ms. Selfi who was sitting on the porch seat of the house.

Dara turned her head towards Bu Selfi before walking over to her mother.

Dara had not had time to sit in the chair, Dara immediately stepped her legs again near the fence, when she saw a luxury sedan black stopped in front of the gate.

"Mama....." Shouted El with his lisp when he saw Dara approaching him.

"El how are you baby...kangen Mama huh?" dara asked after taking over El from Mega's sling.

"Titip Eliana Ya Ra? I'll pick up magrib." Aditya said as he got off the car approaching Dara.

"Yes, sister" said Dara smilingly staring at Aditya.

"That's your mother, right? can I come in for a second?" aditya asked after smilingly greeting Bu Selfi who was standing in the house.

"Please Brother, said Dara staring at Aditya.

"Let's go in Meg" Dara told Mega.

"Assalamualaikum Ma'am," Aditya said kindly kissing Bu Selfi's hand.

"Waalaikum greetings," said Bu Selfi smilingly welcoming Aditya.

"No Papa, from pregnant Mitha has also been frequent ngrepotin Mom," said Bu Selfi jokingly, followed by laughter Aditya and Dara.

"Oh Allah, she was beautiful.., very similar to Mitha." Said Bu Selfi again pinch the wrath of El's cheek in Dara's sling.

"Buck...." Call Dara smiling when she sees her husband walking over to her.

"Know this beautiful Eliana Om..," said Dara introduced Eliana to Erfan, who was only answered with a smile while pinching the soft cheek of Eliana.

"You're Dara's husband, huh? know me Aditya." Aditya reached out his hand smilingly looking at Erfan.

"Getfr." Erfan answered flatly shaking Aditya's hand.

"Thank you, I let Eliana play with Dara." Aditya looked at Erfan.

Erfan simply replied with a nod of his head slowly.

"I say yes Aunty, take Eliana for a while," said Aditya staring at Bu Selfi.

"Be careful, Dit" replied Bu Selfi.

Aditya nodded his head before turning his gaze towards Dara, "I stay huh Ra?" Aditya looked at Dara again before nodding his head slowly at Erfan.

"Be careful, sister," said Dara saw the departure of Aditya.

Dara immediately brought El into the house followed by Erfan beside him, Bu Selfi and Mega behind him.

"Mother take a shower first, Ra?" said Bu Selfi before stepping into the house, leaving Dara, Erfan and Mega in the guest room.

Half an hour has passed just by seeing Dara playing with Eliana on the floor of the living room that has been covered with floor mattresses.play a lot of toys that Mega brought from Eliana's house.

"Ra.." call Erfan to bat beside Dara.

"You don't play the same he keeps dong.nya forget." Erfan's whisper in Dara's ear, making Mega resist his laughter.

"Let Non El be like me Ra," said Mega staring at Dara.

"Maybe your husband needs something." Mega's speech again made Dara smile clumsy.

"For a while, dong Mas, I rarely play with El," persuaded Dara whispered in Erfan's ear.

"Eliana darling.this is Grandma bringing you ice cream.." Said Bu Selfi suddenly coming out from inside the house while carrying ice cream in her hands, making Eliana laugh with excitement.

"Massss mass where's Mas Erfan's phone?" Said Dara in a hurry while hitting slowly and quickly Erfan's foot next to him,

because I want to take a picture of Eliana.

"Make what?" asked Erfan while picking up his phone on the sofa.

"Come on Mas.." said Dara hurriedly before receiving a phone from Erfan.

Ckrek Dara photographed El eating his own ice cream to make his face splashed with ice cream,"

"God is funny...." Dara said angrily looking at El's face on the mobile phone screen.

"You don't want to photograph me Ra? I don't lose to him either." Erfan whispered again in Dara's ear, making Bu Selfi and Mega laugh.

"Your husband is jealous of Ra, from earlier you do not care," said Bu Selfi on the sidelines of his laughter.

"My charm lost to Eliana Bu, I'm from here I don't look at Dara at all," Sindir Erfan held back his smile.

"Prophe dong Mas..wait El to come home? mas Erfan I'll write again" said Dara while feeding ice cream to Eliana.

"Sadly," Grunts Erfan before smilingly staring at the happiness emanating on his wife's face, his heart warms up as he watches Dara's patience feed and look after the little toddler who had already captured Dara's attention from him.

"So El naughty isn't here?" aditya asked after holding Eliana, answered with a strong head by Eliana.

"Pinter once Papa's son," said Aditya kissed his son's chubby cheeks before stepping his feet near Bu Selfi and Pak Herman who were sitting on the living room couch.
