When You're Gone

For their sake

The sky had already started to darken, the horizon was already flushed in the western horizon. The sun that was hot, has now begun to hide in the dispute.

While Khairani sat restlessly, the door did not open. Wish twilight could bring the owner of the heart back to his side .

In fact, hope is not in vain. Bakri appeared with a smile behind that door. Feeling guilty for taking too long to leave his wife alone.

"Sorry old brother.meet a friend chat earlier, so forget the time. "Bakri immediately explained with a grin.

Seeing Khairani only respond in silence, Bakri finds out that Khairani is again fashionably angry. Such was Khairani , their marriage had never even once Khairani nagged her husband despite any anger.

Finally Bakri sat on the chair approaching Khairani's bed, he saw the tray of dinner that was still intact and asked...

"Would you like to eat... ? brother bribe yes..

"No need to bang, please take it, I can eat alone...

Finally Khairani ate in silence. Bakri just looked at his wife until it was over. Take a drink and clean up the former of eating and drinking Khairani and put it back on the tray then put it near the door.

Bakri went back to bed, sat in his place .

"Ran.. Someone wants to talk" This is about my brother's friend.. "Bakri was silent waiting for Khairani's reaction.

"Why brother's friend." asked Khairani.

"She had twins, now still being treated in an incubator, for being born prematurely . Brother met her for the first time there too when Adek baby was still in the incubator.

"Keep the matter what." asked Khairani with the rest of his regret.

"The problem is that her mother the twins died after giving birth, while the twins had to get breast milk to recover quickly... "

"Innalillahi wa innaailaihi roji'un...

Bakri smelled his smile, seeing Khairani's reaction "My wife is indeed soft-hearted so forget that she is angry again.

"That's what you want to talk about, are you willing to be a mother of milk for them.Pity they lack nutritional intake while they need breast milk to survive...

"You bang. of course you want, my ASI is also smooth" replied Khairani.

"Alright if that's what my brother told my father first yes. Brother stay again dad papa ?? answered by Khairani. Bakri rushed to Farhan. As his hand reached for the doorknob, Bakri turned his back to Khairani and said...

"Go to mushola, yes...

"Yes. "a short answer to Khairani.

*****

Some time later...

Khairani is still sitting on her back in bed, but now she is accompanied by a tiny baby who is sipping her favorite food. Khairani stared lovingly as she rubbed the delicate cheeks gently.

Algazali, that's the name Bakri gave to the tiny baby. It will be called Gaza. Little baby coming at a bad time. However, it does not diminish Khairani and Bakri's affection for him. For them the child is the most beautiful gift for parents.

Soon Bakri entered Khairani's room. After closing the door, he stepped closer to his two dearest people with a smile.

"Father's son again mimik ya. duuh clever "baby's head that has been asleep in the lap Khairani.

"Ran the father of the twins wants to see you, he waits outside" Bakri said as he took his son from Khairani's lap. Khairani immediately tidied up her clothes and put on her hijab.

"Udah bang tell me to come in... "Jawab Khairani after making sure his aura is closed.

Bakri walks into the baby box, puts the baby with a heart, then covers her .After that, he stepped towards the door of the room.

Soon Bakri re-entered with a man who was the same age as Bakri. The man whose skin was not too white, who was taller than Bakri. His chin and jaw were overgrown with fine feathers and had a sharp nose . It could be said that the man looked more like a Turk than an Indonesian.

Bakri walked up to Khairani, followed by Farhan from behind. After arriving at the bedside he introduced Khairani to Farhan.

"Farhan meet my wife Khairani... "Ran. This is his father in twins....

"So it's true that Mbak Khairani wants to be a mother of milk for my children." said Farhan broke the awkwardness.

"Right sir I want. It just so happens that my ASI is pretty much " replied Khairani.

"Don't call mr. dong... Farhan alone is not comfortable if it is too formal. "reply Farhan while chuckling.

"Oh yes indeed how old you are. It seems younger than me" said Bakri.

" June is 43 years old.. How many... ? ask Farhan back.

"I am 45 years old and Rani is 41 years old" Bakri replied. "Call brother Ran, more polite than call his "continue name.

"Well bang." replied Khairani assented. "When the twins began to breastfeed Bang Farhan. "hereinafter.

"Quickly if possible. later I ask permission first so that you can enter the room Intensive "

"Call tell me if you can...

The conversation was interrupted by the cry of the little baby that had been neglected. Bakri approached and held the baby.

"The father's son is awake, hungry" while handing his baby over to Khairani's lap.

"Alright Bakri.., Khaira.I said first, I happen to want to eat also "Farhan said while glancing at his watch. "You haven't eaten yet either. Come with me let's make it good to eat there are friends, " he continued.

Bakri looked at Khairani as if asking for permission.

"Go bang. brother also has not had dinner "Kata Khairani realized the meaning of Bakri's gaze.

"Ok.abang go away for a while" said Bakri while stroking the baby's head.

*****

Finished eating each food in the cafeteria, suddenly Farhan stroked something behind his jacket. Two hundred thousand dollars. Then thrust in front of Bakri. Of course, the look of shock and confusion was so obvious on Bakri's face.

"What is this. "ask confused.

"Take it, just think of it as my thanks" Farhan replied

"What do you mean." asked Bakri in a slightly raised voice. "Do you intend to buy my wife's milk "

"No, that's not it. Don't get me wrong.... " Farhan took a deep breath.trying to choose the right word to explain for Bakri to accept the money. " Look Bakri. Ever since you offered your wife as the mother of the twins' milk, I've considered you a brother. You know... !! No one has been so kind to me all this time selflessly. Only you are willing to help me unconditionally and without knowing me well . Besides, I feel like I have a brother. All this time I've been living alone, I'm an only child "And then he leaned on his back and crossed "Can't you consider me a brother, at least your friend "Farhan continued.

Bakri listened with fellow .The face that had been stiffened had now softened back. There was pity in his heart, and there was also a sense of unease for having been mistaken.

"Sorry Farhan, I was wrong, but it doesn't have to be like this, without this money I've considered you a brother. You do not forget ... if our children will become siblings even though from a different womb... ?! Bakri.

"That's what I mean, Bakri... I'm doing this for their sake, what do you think is more important than a child today. Accept this for their sake... I know you really need this money now, no offense, I know you're a good father and husband, !! Accept it for your family" said Farhan, who tried to influence Bakri.

"Where do you know I need money right now. "bakri's gaze is full of inquires.

"Sorry again, I accidentally listened to your conversation with someone this afternoon here." said Farhan" But don't refuse this money, I'm giving it to the twins, only with this can a little reduce my regret. "he said grudgingly.

"regret... ??? ask Bakri

"Yes by giving breast milk from a mother, at least I do not owe the twins too much, because because of me they lost their mother." revealed Farhan looked down with regret.
