Eshan Rayyan Altair

“Waalaikumsalam,” Yudha and Vita answer simultaneously. Vita immediately rubbed his face before the door was opened because he did not want his two in-laws to find him in such a state of chaos.

The two men dressed in matching clothes smiled broadly as they looked at him. Umi Ros immediately approached her, kissing her daughter-in-law and granddaughter in turn.

After the baby changed hands, they also hugged and cried for a long time. Reveal her hilarity—because they were finally able to meet again after so many months of separation, and under unusual circumstances.

“Where to stay now, son? Who is the good guy who accompanied you?”

“I live with Dara around here, Mi. She is a good girl, still alone, her age is not much different from mine,” said Vita replied.

“You know where?” ask Umi curious.

“We know here too. When we first met, we were immediately familiar because we came from the same area.”

“Oh .. so. Where do the people go, Umi wants to meet.”

“Again lunch with Alif.”

"Same Alif?" tanyanya.

"Yes." Yeah." Vita nodded.

Sontak Umi Ros turned to her husband who was busy himself fondling his grandson. “Bah, Bah!”

Abah had a quick look, “What?”

“Alif it loh, secretly like to crawl bring a girl. We have to tell him Abah. Afraid of our son's obscurity.”

“Ya,” the answer is brief without wanting to discuss it further. He was not wanting to switch anywhere other than to the little creature in front of him. A small form of Yudha that almost goes down 90% of its genes.

His cold and serious aura turned into a soft and witty figure. “What's this name?” with a happy question.

“Not yet given the name of the baby, Nak?” ask the two of them. And again, Vita and Yudha looked at each other.

“Em .. I'm up to you, Mas,” said Vita later.

But Yudha replied, “I'm up to you.”

“Yes already, if you throw each other mending Abah who gave him the name.”

“Who, Bah?” ask Yudha immediately.

A little long Abah Haikal thought, until a while later he replied, “Eshan Rayyan Altair.”

Yudha nodded. He has understood the meaning; that handsome boy who is always dear to God and will shine a light on his life with kindness. Yes, the hope is, this baby is growing like a meaning tucked into that name.

“Ask your wife first, agree or not?” abah said again.

“Agree Abah,” said Vita.

“Whose name is called?” Umi Ros said as she walked closer. Turned his granddaughter on for the first time. "Oma just call Ray, yeah. Let it be easy."

And for the most part, Vita and Yudha looked at each other while the parents were busy with their grandchildren. For some time they were so before the Vita finally cut off the linkage of their eyes. It's not good for his heart health Vita thought.

As the night approached, Umi and Abah decided to go home because he could not stay overnight. In addition to not bringing a change of clothes, they also left a myriad of affairs that they had not yet completed.

Before they left, Umi Ros had persuaded him to return to live there with him so that later he could take turns taking care of Rayyan.

But Vita gently refused and gave her understanding; that she could no longer stay there, and could no longer continue her marriage to Yudha. Vita said she was more comfortable living without them because she did not have the broad heart to accept her husband's other wife.

“Lying if we are not disappointed. Disappointment is certainly there, because you stick with your stance. But we have to understand your situation and have no right to force,” Umi said as Vita explained his refusal.

“Pardon Vita, Umi, Abah..,” said Vita somehow to how many times.

Umi smiled. “It's okay. No matter what your relationship is, this little one is still our grandchild. You are also the son of Umi and Abah. The panic was him,” Umi pointed at a man who was bowed weakly.

I don't know if Yudha has no desire to see the sun tomorrow. He was already feeling gloomy himself.

‘You are right Vita, I have created hell for you for Rahma, especially for myself. Now I have to accept the consequences.’

But Yudha looked at her brother in disbelief.

“Goodbye,” said Abah again.

Yudha slept on the floor overnight accompanied by Alif. While Dara, the girl slept on the sofa in a very comfortable position.

Dara and Alif entered on the day almost towards midnight. From his confession, they engaged in a long chat at a Cafe. Hmm but whether it is true or not. No one saw them from anywhere but angels.

Azan dawn has passed. The clock also showed five o'clock in a few minutes. But because Dara still did not wake up because of so deep, Alif deliberately nagged it by splashing water on the girl's face.

“Astagfirullah!” he immediately got up and ran.

“Where are you going?” tanya Alif chuckled.

Dara stammered after looking around. “I thought it was raining, so I want to take a clothesline.”

“This is in hospital,” Alif said.

"Yes I already know."

A moment later, Dara sat down again. Shame is not playing because it is being laughed at by everyone in this room.

“If you wake up it sits first, Dar,” said Vita.

“It's spontaneous.”

“Body, it's five o'clock more,” Alif's edict makes Dara look up to the wall clock.

“Iya for a moment, want to collect lives first.”

“Today you want to have another holiday, Bang?” ask Alif when the day has started to go by.

“Nobody was waiting for him to take turns,” Yudha replied as she watched her two loved ones staring at each other on the bed.

“Yes, but you better go home first. Get a change of clothes, take a shower too. You're so messy.”

Yudha nodded accepting his advice. Exactly at nine, he came home in a taxi because Alif used his car to the office.

Arriving at home, he saw Rahma was cleaning up in her room. They met and briefly stared at each other. Yeah, just that. After that, they did not say hello anymore.

But something was different from that woman. If previously—when Yudha left in a state of laughter, this time she found her swollen eyes. Likely, she had cried a lot.

The man cleaned himself, then changed clothes and chose the clothes he would bring later to stay again. After picking up the medium bag, he put it in it.

“How's News, Brother?” rahma asked to break the silence.

“He is fine," replied Yudha briefly.

“Baby and mother are both healthy ‘kan?” he asked again to return to take the heart of Yudha who lately has been far away. Hope their relationship improves.

“They are healthy all.”

“Thank God,” says Rahma. The woman stood up and left him out, not knowing what he was going to do there.

Yudha felt thirsty. The man glanced towards the nightstand. He saw there was a glass of drinking water there that he knew was coffee. ‘Then when does Rahma drink coffee?’ inner wondering. ‘Does he provide it for me?’

But because Yudha was so thirsty, he immediately downed the drink without asking first. At the same time, Rahma went back into the room and immediately shouted when she found it so.

“Kak Yudha!” he shouted with wide eyes. Shortly after, he saw Yudha's face turn strange.
