When That Sense Is Present

33. 5 years later

"Unfortunately momy, the milk is in the drink first huh! momy wants to clear your box"

"Momy, Caya doesn't like the chocolate-flavored vanilla milk"

"Wait a minute, momy makein again" said Antyka patiently. He knows facing Caya who likes to change tastes. She memorized it very well if her beautiful daughter asked for more attention. Antyka still obeyed so that the mood of the little boy was awake and could follow the lessons in school smoothly.

"But momy, who's the vanilla milk for?" Caya feels guilty when the mother does not protest with her subtle rejection. I get tired of drinking milk every morning.

"Make momy, not papa" Antyka smiled as she offered a new glass of chocolate-flavored milk.

A relieved smile emanated on the face of the little girl with long hair tied in two. Her eyes were clear with brown irises, a small nose and one more beautiful as she smiled dimples Pipits on both cheeks.

"Likes ..?" ask Antyka.

"MMM momy, can't you tomorrow if you don't drink milk?"

"No, milk is very good for the growing baby momy" Antyka asserted while inserting Caya's lunch box in the bag.

"Momy.., Caya is bored. Can I drink the rest?"

"Betul is tired of milk?" Antyka tried a discussion.

"Momy how about Caya take vitamins to replace milk" This child is also an accomplished negotiator. Antyka thought for a moment maybe this week she could eliminate the schedule of drinking milk and replaced it with liquid vitamins. This little logic is smart.

"Okay deal, this one Week Caya may not drink milk but promise to take vitamins instead and eat a regular, big no to fussy meal"

"Deal momy" Caya returns showing off her dimples.

"If it's over, momy wants to take Caya to school"

"Completed momy" Caya put down the glass after finishing her last sip of milk.

Caya brought her own bag. With a blue and white Kindergarten uniform, her small body looks very adorable.

"Wait for momy for a minute, momy should grab momy's bag in the room. Caya can say goodbye to Oma"

Caya approached Oma who was already on the terrace. The little girl screamed for her oma who was enjoying the morning atmosphere.

" oom...Caya was about to leave for school, Salim" Caya reached out her hand.

"Oma's grandson is so beautiful. His school should not be long Oma alone at home"

"Oma, Caya is a school for winter" Caya acted out to Omanya who was sulking because she left school. The look on the girl's face seriously made Oma hold back her amused laughter.

" Oh.oke Caya, Oma wait for Caya while looking at the cartoon" Still holding a smile with Caya's adult-ass mannerisms.

"Oma don't look at cartoons, look at dramas that are for adults. Cartoon for Caya" Caya said in a pretentious style to make her look always adorable.

" Oma wants to read Caya's book, let Caya rich pinter"

"But if you read Oma's book often fall asleep" Caya protested again. Oma could only gawk at the little girl's words. Lucky Antyka came.

" Have Salim been with Oma? if we're leaving"

" It's momy"

" Ma, Anty's leaving first. Heart at home do not be too cape" Anty say goodbye and pee cheeks that begin to fill with wrinkles.

Antyka's routine in the morning after dropping Caya off at school she would go to her father's restaurant. Antyka has become a career woman. Helped by his workers he could develop restaurants and garment businesses to be bigger.

In between his busy life he was never absent to be the first person for the Light commonly called Caya. After lunch Antika tidied up the contents of her bag to immediately pick up Caya from school. Antyka's phone is vibrating, a phone from Ibra.

"Yes hello brother Ibra?" Sapa Antyka friendly.

"I'm in front of Caya's school, can I take Caya out for a minute? just buy ice cream"

"Don't overindulge him Caya, brother"

"I love Anty, I haven't seen my beautiful daughter in a week. Please ...only one hour. After that I drove her home" Ibra still persuaded Antyka to give her permission. They were both in the famous ice cream shop. Enjoy the ice cream together.

"Supposed brother Ibra break instead of hanging out with Caya, you must have been at the ice cream stand, right? just asking permission" Antyka continued to nag Ibra and the man could only chuckle at Antyka's venting emotions

"Dad, did momy allow it?"caya asked as she fed a scoop of strawberry ice cream into her small mouth. "Suthjh..," Ibra coded Caya not to be noisy. Caya doesn't care about Ibra's code.

"Momy, don't be mad at me. Caya asked Dad to buy ice cream" Caya snatched the phone from Ibra's hand. The boy seemed to want to protect the figure of the man he recognized as Father.

From there Antyka could only snort in annoyance. Caya always defended Ibra. "Momy is not angry with Dad, Caya should have permission first with momy. Lucky momy hasn't gone to Caya's school"

"Momy, said I want ice cream that tastes what? having a strawberry flavor" Caya did not pay attention to the words of the momy, he even offered to buy ice cream

"No need to Caya, tell dad, Momy's not a kid who likes ice cream anymore. Caya.., don't forget to say thank you to Dad" Antyka taught Caya to be shaved and polite

" Of course momy, Caya will definitely say thank you. Assalamualaikum" Caya closes Ibra's phone without waiting for an answer from Antyka.

Caya gave Ibra her phone. They both ate ice cream. Enjoy time together. They both miss and love each other.

Antyka did not close her eyes, she knew how Ibra felt about her. Ibra was patiently waiting for Antyka's feelings. Although repeatedly Antyka asked Ibra to find a more worthy girl but the man was always patient waiting. Until three months ago. Antyka gives up, Alif never again no news, Mama getting older, until Miss Hanna who is too good to Antyka and Caya. Antyka finally accepts getting engaged to a man who is too nice.

"Sister Ibra, haven't come home yet?" Greet Antyka while Ibra was putting up a blanket.

"Anty..., tumben you came home early?"

"Sir Ibra, in the question even behind the question" Antyka put the bag on the table. Then sit next to Ibra.

"I miss you too Anty, the plan is to wait for you to come home here" Ibra stared fixedly at her lady puja who looked tired.

"I make coffee, brother Ibra must miss my coffee. Wait a minute" Antyka felt awkward when they were just the two of them.

I don't know how it feels since Ibra expressed her feelings. Antyka feels uncomfortable if it's just the two of her. Antyka brews a cup of coffee that emits the aroma of cash, then puts it on a table in front of Ibra.

"Thank you" Ibra took a cup of coffee and soaked up the smell of brewed coffee cash. "your homemade coffee is always good, Anty" sipped a little at a time Antyka's coffee

"What time did Ibra get here?" Antyka drives away awkwardness.

"Four eleven, straight to Caya's school. I miss Caya"

" The two of you are the same, look at this calendar, Every day circled by Caya, he calculated how long Ibra's father had been gone" Antyka showed a calendar filled with circles on the date of Ibra's departure.

Ibra chuckled happily, so awaited by her little girl. But there was a part of his heart that was still empty. Seeing the face of Antyka who is still ordinary. Ibra wanted to hear Antyka miss her.

" Anty...emmm, I want to ask you out tonight, can you ?" Ibra looked at Antyka expectantly. As a good fiancee, of course Antyka should be able to. This week they did not meet. After returning home Ibra took the time to accompany the Light. Now it's Antyka's turn to show attitude as a good fiancee.

"It can, of course, at what time?"

"I'll pick you up at seven. Oh yes I have a small gift for you" Ibra prepared by the one he bought from abroad. "I want you to wear this tonight" while handing over three paper bags to Antyka. "I've imagined you'd be so pretty in that dress. I went home first" Ibra stood up to leave after sipping coffee made by Antyka to the toilet. Before leaving Ibra approached Antyka dyed the head of Antyka blocked hijab, Seraya said "Aty. I can't wait for our wedding day"

Antyka was stunned there was a taste that made him gamang. Ibra was so happy with him. He is still shackled by his past. Alif's name never ended in his heart. Antyka stared at Ibra's back and disappeared behind the door. Anty does not want Ibra to be hurt by him. That guy's too good.

Antyka pondered after Ibra left her. His steps entered the Light Room. Her little daughter desperately needed the figure of Father, and Light already had it in the figure of Ibra. Ibra loves light like her own child.

"Momy is so pretty in that dress, Momy wants to go with Dad?" Caya asked as Antyka was eradicating herself in front of the mirror .

"Yes, will Caya come?"

"No, Oma said it was an adult event. Oma wants a lot of fairy tales for Caya"

"Seriously ? even though dad had bought the same dress for Caya to wear" Antyka still continued to persuade Caya to come along.

"Anty, kasian Ibra. You need to be a little more understanding. Go without Caya, you need time to get closer to each other before getting married"

"But ma, brother Ibra also does not mind" Antyka still insisted.

"Will Oma give you a lot of fairy tales?" mama Ajeng turned to the little girl by his side.

" Want Oma, Caya sleeps in Oma's room?" answer Caya as if he already understood the code from the Oma to let Antyka go alone with Ibra.

Caya held Oma's hand while passing away leaving Antyka who was still preparing. Antyka glanced at the clock inside the phone. It's seven o'clock, Ibra will be here soon. Just as he was coming out of the room, Ibra was already in the living room, staring at Antyka full of love and adoration.

" Sister Ibra" Anty was a little surprised. The man in front of him stared fixedly. Antyka felt wrong. " Already from before? I'm sorry I thought Ibra's not here yet"

"I came from five minutes ago. Is Caya not coming?"

"Yes, Caya won't come"

"We're having a romantic dinner, both" Ibra teases Antyka. "Let's go out for the night" Ibra said, asking Antyka to hurry. After saying goodbye to Caya and mama Ajeng they really go together.

It's not the first time they've been away with just the two. Before they were engaged, they often went alone even if they just watched or went to a party that required Ibra to bring a partner. Antyka must have been happy to accompany Ibra.

But this time the atmosphere was different. They are officially engaged. At least they have a clear relationship in direction. There is a feeling of fear in Antyka every Ibra talks about the most important stage of their relationship which is marriage.

Ibra drags a chair for Antyka to sit down. Ibra is more and more open to expressing her love. That night Ibra wore a black shirt that contrasted with her clean skin. Moreover, the towering body of Ibra was also a handsome face. It attracts a little attention of the opposite sex.

The atmosphere of the restaurant in Ibra is indeed romantic.they booked a place with a beautiful view, a calm atmosphere in the accompaniment of music that carries a love song.

Suddenly Ibra clasped Antyka's fingers. Pecking her off.

"Anty, if I may I wish to hasten our wedding day. Do you mind?, what are we waiting for. Mama Ajeng also asked me as soon as possible" Ibra noticed the look on Antyka's face that looks gamang "That if you agree, I don't rush to rush" Ibra's voice again weakened. He understood that suppressing Antyka was tantamount to destroying the plan.

"Ehm brother Ibra, there's only three months left, right? that's close. Why should it be accelerated again? I was busy preparing a project for the holiday. After the project was completed I was more concerned with preparing for our wedding. And I can't put off a project she's been working on, long before we're engaged"

"Oh. When is your project finished?"

"At the earliest two months away"

"Let me explain to mommy, but Mami wants us to start preparing for our wedding. How about we start meeting the WO side we're gonna use, Hmm?"

" So, we can adjust to our schedule. Do not get to clash" said Antyka who makes Ibra so plong.

"Really, I'm glad to hear it" Ibra did not think that Antyka really wanted to contribute to preparing for the wedding. "Tomorrow I'll send you my empty schedule, Anty."

Antyka agreed to Ibra's wishes. The two continued their dinner quietly. Deep down Antyka, actually if remarried he wanted a simple marriage. But all of that is impossible. Ibra was the only son of Hendro. Of course they want to celebrate their son's wedding with a lavish party.

Antyka stared at the happy twinkle in Ibra's eyes. Ibra should be happy. This man in front of him. Almost all the time always trying to make Antyka and Light happy. He sacrificed a lot for her.
