Zalfa's happiness feels complete now. Shanum is the only reason for his happiness.
There has been a lot of wisdom since Shanum's birth. Call it Elijah who was once lazy, likes to menggedumel and lazy to do anything, now looks diligent to help, both tidying up his own room, tidying up Shanum clothes, and also diligently wake up early. All that he did because he wanted to be able to get close to Shanum. Because if he has not taken a bath, has not tidied up the room, and has not had breakfast, then he should not be close to Shanum.
Maria also often takes Shanum out of the house in the morning so that the little one gets acquainted with the outside world, spoiled with sunlight and breathe fresh air. Her father-in-law Zalfa seemed to love her granddaughter very much. He is now much more diligent in learning to pray to Zalfa because he claimed to be getting older and did not know the age until when. Shanum, his grandson, realized that his age was increasing and he also had a grandson. There are no young grandmothers, their names must be old.
Four months had passed, Zalfa's life felt different.
That morning, Zalfa saw that Arkhan was already looking neat. The man sauntered down the stairs in a hasty motion while buttoning the end of his shirt arm.
“Mas Arkhan, where are you going?” ask Zalfa who just appeared from another room.
“Work.”
“But it's a holiday?” Zalfa looked in wonder. Although Arkhan already has a lot of income from his social media, but he does not want to leave his job.
“Who said? It's thursday. Yes I've left first.”
“Mas Arkhan!” call Zalfa to see Arkhan pitching towards the door.
“What else, dear?” Arkhan stopped his steps and turned his head towards Zalfa. “Didn't you let me go, hm?” The man seemed to be teasing Zalfa.
Sontak Zalfa chuckled.
“Not that I mean, look at that!” Zalfa placed her palm against Arkhan's cheek and forced her husband's face to turn toward the calendar. “It's Thursday, the 4th. I'm not color blind, right? That's red date.”
Arkhan raised an eyebrow with a frowned. She laughs. “Yes yes, thankfully you remind me. Geez.”
“Well, that's why if you're told don't ngeyel.” Zalfa clamped the tip of Arkhan's nose with his fingers, making Arkhan laugh again. “You already have a lot of income from your social media, why not stop working and focus on social media?”
“Zalfa, social media for me is just a side job.”
“Lah, sideline but what is the income even tens of times greater than the main income?”
“It's not about main job or side job. This is also not about revenue.”
“Then?
“But it's about instinct. My work is now the cause of my release from captivity, it is this work that unites us, it is this work that makes Shanum present among us. Otherwise, Shanum would never have existed because I am still in custody. This work also allows us to live together. I don't want to let go.”
Arkhan's head turned to the left right. “Shanum where?”
“Shanum with mom and Elijah outside.”
Arkhan opened the window curtain, looking outside. He observed his mother who was holding Shanum while talking many things as if Shanum could already be spoken to. Elijah by Mary's side was singing. Occasionally ci luk ba. occasionally surrounds Maria. Emy sits on a garden chair observing Mary and Elijah.
Arkhan's arms clasped Zalfa's shoulders, asking his wife to look outside. Zalfa followed Arkhan's line of sight.
“It turns out that not only are we happy about Shanum's birth. Look, Mama and Elijah feel the same way too,” Arkhan said.
Zalfa leaned his head against Arkhan's chest. “I didn't expect your family's welcome to Shanum to be this amazing.”
“O yes, I forgot something. There was coffee in my room, but I forgot to drink it. Can you get it for me? Will not be delicious if it is cold.” Arkhan looked at Zalfa's face which was very close to his.
“Copy? Did you have time to make coffee and taken to the room?” Zalfa who raised her face looked at Arkhan's face.
“Yes. Come on, just get it!”
Zalfa nodded despite being slightly astonished, all this time Arkhan had never asked for his help for such a small matter. Tumben Arkhan ruled over him, but Zalfa was pleased.
Soon Zalfa went upstairs. He was stunned to see the entire room, his beads of eyes were already circulating sweeping through the room but found no coffee.
Then where did Arkhan put his coffee? Not even the smell of coffee there. Waah.
Zalfa was just about to turn around, but his movements were restrained by a sturdy arm that suddenly coiled around his stomach from behind. She turned her head and her gaze met her husband's eyes, Arkhan's face nyender casually on her shoulders.
“Mumping security guard is going outside!” whispers in Zalfa's ears. His lips gently kissed his wife's cheek. His hands began to creep into the back of Zalfa's clothes and creep up on the woman's sensitive side.
“Satpam who do you mean?” Zalfa was confused amidst the sensation he felt.
“Shanum. That little guy always screams when I get close to you, he's like a security guard for us at night.” Arkhan chuckled softly and turned Zalfa's body to face each other.
"Oh.. Now I get it, so you lied to me about coffee because you wanted to do this?" Zalfa laughed. He was lying on the bed as Arkhan pushed his body with the man's chest.
It seems like this is the first time Arkhan has started playing in bed after several months of keeping up the turmoil. Zalfa. Arkhan.
