ANTIQUE NURSE
Bonchap: Family is Everything

Abi rushed into the house. His first destination was his room. With a slow movement he opened the door and entered into it. He saw the wife standing pensively on the terrace of the room. Slowly Abi approached and hugged his wife's shoulder from behind.

“Mas.” without looking, Nina already knew the person who was hugging her was the husband she had missed all along.

“I miss you,” whispered Abi in Nina's ear.

Nina quickly turned her body. With teary eyes he looked at the face of the husband who had always been present in his dreams. His hand touched Abi's jaw which was overgrown with a fairly thick brewok.

“Mas..this is right you. I'm not dreaming, am I?”

Abi's hand held Nina in his arms. Nina's cry broke instantly, her embrace on Abi's neck growing tighter. The woman spilled her deep yearning through the tears streaming down from her two eyes.

Abi unraveled her embrace. His finger rubbed the clear circles that continued to flow from his wife's beautiful eyes. Then her hand reached for Nina's nape, a kiss given on the lips she so longed for. His tears flowed as his eyes closed in between his kisses. Abi ended his kiss and fused their eyebrows together.

“You all right?”

“We are all right? Thank you for coming back for us. I know it must be hard for you to fight to live and come back to us.”

“Thank you for giving me strength through your prayers also children.”

“The children never stop praying for you. Now Nan is no longer difficult to wake up shajuh prayer. He also started praying tahajud. Only your name is offered in each prayer.”

Abi hugged Nina again, her burly hands tightly hugging the back of her beloved wife. Immerse her face in the recess of Nina's neck. Inhaling the scent of the body of the woman he so longed for.

“Let's meet the kids, mas. They must be happy to meet you.”

Abi let go of her embrace. Nina wiped the tears on her husband's face. Then, holding hands, the two went upstairs. Nina knocked on Freya's room door, the girl's voice came from inside the room. Abi opened the door and then went inside. The princess was sitting daydreaming in front of her desk.

“Frey,” call Nina.

“Iya ma,” replied Freya without turning to the mother.

“Someone wants to meet you.”

“Who ma?”

Freya turned her head. The girl's eyes widened to see Abi standing beside Nina. As fast as lightning Freya woke up and rushed towards Abi.

“Papa..”

Abi stood on his knees to greet the child running towards him. Freya immediately hugged Abi, her cries instantly broke. The father he so longed for, who was mentioned in every prayer, finally returned home. Abi hugged the back of Freya, her 15-year-old daughter. His eyes wet again hearing his daughter's sobs.

“Papa don't go again. Frey's afraid I can't see you again. Frey kangen same papa. Love you papa.”

“Love you too sweetheart. Miss you a lot.”

Abi broke his embrace and kissed his son's face. Nina wiped her tears, God finally brought back the happiness of this family. Abi wiped Freya's tears. Still sounds the girl.

“Are you okay? Why do you look so skinny, baby?”

“Semenjak mas lost, Frey more locked himself in the room. He also often misses meals,” replied Nina.

“Mafin daddy. Sorry for making you sad, sorry papa left too long.”

“Frey always doain papa to quickly go home,” Freya said on the sidelines of her sobbing.

“Yes dear, papa believe. Your prayers go to papa. Papa can come back because of the prayer you prayed.”

“Papa won't go again right?”

“Ngga darling. Papa will be here with you, bang Ken, Nan and also mama.”

Abi removed the remains of tears on Freya's face then tidied up her long, slightly messy hair. Abi wakes up later while holding Freya's hand, he heads to Kenan's room. After knocking, Nina opened the room door. The three were stunned when they saw Kenan was teaching.

“Shodaqallahuladziim.” Kenan ended his sentence and then raised both hands.

“Yes Allah, Nan promises to be a better child, according to mom and dad. Nan also will not be any more prayers, diligent in his stance, Nan will try to be a pious child who always papa and mama want. Nan please save papa and return papa. Nan kangen papa, Nan hasn't done anything that papa is proud of. Please grant Nan's request, O Allah. Give Nan a chance to make papa proud, aamiin yaa rabbal’alaamiin.”

Nan rubbed his face with both hands. The boy then stood up, folded his alphabet and put the Qur’an on the table and removed the kopeah attached to his head.

“Papa is proud of you, Nan.”

Nan was surprised to hear a voice so familiar to him. He quickly turned around. His eyes widened to see Abi in front of him. For a moment the boy was still stuck in his place.

“You don’t wanna hug me, boy?”

Abi bent his knees and made a pedestal for him to stand. Nan immediately rushed towards him. She tightly hugged the sturdy back of the father she so missed. No words came out of his mouth, only sobs could be heard.

“Your mama's word is not difficult to wake up shabuh prayer again,” Kenan nodded his head.

“You have also started praying tahajud,” again Kenan nodded his head.

“You also pray papa after every prayer,” Kenan's head nodded again.

“Thank you Nan. Because of your prayers, papa can come back home. Papa loves you, without you doing anything, papa is already proud of you.”

“Nan kangen papa,” finally heard Kenan's voice on the sidelines of his sobbing.

“Papa too, papa kangen you.”

Abi tightened his embrace on Kenan's body. Kenan's hands continued to circle his papa's back. Slowly Abi broke his embrace and wiped the tears on his son's face. He stood up and grabbed Kenan's shoulder. The youngest child is now as tall as his shoulder.

“Papa alright?”

“Alhamdulillah papa baik.”

“Mama cry on time papa ngga no.”

Abi looks at Nina, then grabs the woman's nape and lands a kiss on her forehead. Kenan inched closer to Freya who was also still in a state of shock due to the return of the father. Then as fast as lightning Kenan pulled Freya's clothes, and

SRIING!!

Kenan took out a thick liquid from his nose and wiped it with Freya's clothes. Of course the girl was surprised, with disdain she looked up at his sleeves. His face, which had been sad, slowly began to change.

“NAN!!!”

Kenan even laughed at the annoyance of the brother. As fast as lightning he ran out of the room. Freya reflexively chased after her sister. And chase scenes like Tom and Jerry began to happen. Nina and Abi laughed at her.

“Thank you for coming back. I miss moments like this.”

“Iya darling. Mas is also happy,” Abi kissed Nina's lips.

“Where to?”

“At the tree house. Lately he's been happier spending his time there. Although he tried hard, but I know, he was hit when he disappeared. I know he misses you so much.”

“I see Ken, first.”

“Hmm. take your time.”

Nina rubbed her husband's back. Abi went out of Kenan's room. He quickly climbed down the stairs and stepped into the back garden. For a moment he was silent looking at the tree house he had built a few years ago. Kenzie also often spent time together there. Slowly his feet began to climb the spiral-shaped staircase.

Meanwhile, in the tree house, Kenzie appeared to be sleeping in a curled position. His eyes continued to look at the screen of the phone he was holding. His finger moved rubbing Abi's face that was plastered on the screen. As Nina said, the calm and strong-looking Kenzie, deep in her heart, the young man harbored his own grief. But in order to carry out the responsibilities that have been imposed on him, Kenzie tries to stay strong.

The young man did everything the father taught him. In fact he managed to attract major investors for their big projects. Inevitably Kenzie got a lot of praise from shareholders, the board of directors and also the employees. But it doesn't mean anything to him. All he wanted right now was to meet Abi hearing himself from his mouth that the man was proud of him.

“Papa.” omitted. Slowly clear circles flowed from both corners of his eyes.

Abi sampi on top. His eyes caught the child lying on his back. Just now he was about to call out the name of his eldest son, when Kenzie's voice sounded.

“You promoted me pap, you won’t left me. Please come back. (papa promised not to leave me. Back please). I've done everything papa said. Take care of mama, Frey and Nan. I also replaced Papa at the office. I can even persuade Mr. Sander to invest. I've done everything papa said. Can papa come back? I miss papa.”

“Papa also miss you.”

Kenzie jumped out of his sleep when he heard Abi's voice coming from behind him. He quickly woke up and turned his body. Half in disbelief at what he saw, Kenzie walked over to Abi.

“Pa.pa..”

“Yes son, this is papa. I’m back.”

“Papa.”

Kenzie slid towards Abi. The young man rammed his body and hugged the father tightly. His tears were getting louder from both eyes. Abi let the child cry, letting out all the sadness and burdens that hit his chest.

“Impard papa. Is papa weighing you too much?” Kenzie just shook his head.

“No.. I just miss you. And I need you. Don’t leave me again, pap (Ngga. I just missed you. Need you. Don't leave me again, pa).”

Abi tightened his embrace. He was not able to hold back the tears that had been hanging in his eyes. The father and son hugged tightly for a while. After Kenzie calmed down a little, Abi broke her embrace.

“Thank you Ken, you've taken good care of mama, Frey and Nan. You also replace papa's duties in the office well. Papa is proud of you, very proud,” Abi slapped softly on Kenzie's jaw.

“I'm also proud to be papa's son. You’re the best father I ever had (you are the best papa I have).”

Abi wiped away the tears on the child's face and then grabbed Kenzie, slumping his shoulder slowly. His heart was grateful to be given a second chance to live and reunite with the family he loved. He then asked Kenzie to come down.

Freya and Kenan who were still chasing stopped as soon as they saw Abi and Kenzie coming. The two were glued to see Kenzie's red eyes. The sister's face also looks flat. Things they've never seen in this whole time. Freya immediately approached Kenzie.

“Abang. Frey has made my brother sad and hard as long as papa does not exist. Frey promise, won't cry anymore.”

No words came out of Kenzie's mouth. The young man approached the younger brother and then hugged him. Freya's hands wrapped around her beloved sister's waist. Kenan approached both.

“Mafin Nan too, bang. Nan should helpin brother, not make brother more sad.”

Kenzie takes one of his hands off Freya's back, then pulls Kenan into her arms. Nina approached Abi and hugged her husband by the side. His heart was happy to see his three children grow up and love each other.

“Ok.. saddenedly hopefully yes. Papa is back. Now help mama cook special food for papa,” exclaimed Nina.

The three children who were hugging like teletubbies immediately unraveled the embrace as soon as they heard the mother's words.

“Liar Frey, brother and sister Nan aja who cook.”

“Although can?”

“Nan..” call Abi.

“Nan real ma. Let us cook. Big baby mama needs to be bathed in richness.”

Abi glared at Kenzie who let out words lightly. Then the three children immediately went to the kitchen. Nina smiled at the behavior of her children. He then pulled Abi's hand. As Kenzie said, she needed to bathe her husband.

Nina took her husband into the bathroom. He sat Abi on a toilet, filling a bath tub and preparing a shaver. Nina gives foam around her husband's jaw.

“Who helped mas?”

“Pak Tisna and Lilis.”

“Still young?”

“Pak Tisna? Yes, it's not. Sixty years old.”

“Not Sir Tisna, Lilis.”

“Ooh. appreciable 28 years.”

“Cantics?”

“Hmm. passable.”

“Pantes felt at home there,” muttered Nina slowly but still could be caught by Abi's ears. Abi quickly pulled Nina into his lap.

“You're jealous?”

“Ngga.”

“But your face says otherwise.”

Abi sniffed out the wife's nose. Nina intended to get out of her husband's lap, but Abi immediately held her back. His burly hands wrapped around the waist of the woman he loved so much.

“Don't waste your energy on unimportant jealousy. You and the kids are the reason I survived. Lilis and her father were the ones God sent to save me and help me meet you again. I love you so much, you know it.”

“I know mas. I'm just afraid you forgot about me and the kids.”

“Cannot be. Even if I lose my memory, I'll try to get that memory back. Because you are the most precious thing in my life.”

Nina's smile came up hearing that. Slowly she began to shave the hairs on her husband's jaw. Abi's eyes continued to look at the beautiful face of the wife who was only a few inches away. Her hand moved to tidy up Nina's hair then tucked it behind her ear.

The shaving event is over. Nina went to get a small towel and wiped the remaining foam on Abi's face. Now Abi's appearance is better, the dense fur that had filled his jaw is now no more. Nina left only a little fur there.

“Completed.. handsome husband.”.

Nina cupped Abi's face and kissed her lips. Abi's hand restrained the nape of the wife, his lips returned Nina's kiss with lu*tan inside. Nina wrapped her hands around Abi's neck. The woman served the husband's kiss that she missed so much.

“Come shower first mas.”

“Help mas back rub yes.”

“Ok.”

“The book is off, it will be wet.”

“Modus.”

Abi just chuckled. His hand lowered the zipper of Nina's dress and released it from her body. Then his lips again kissed Nina's neck and chest which was so tempting.

“Eeuughh.. mas let's take a shower first.”

“Bukain clothes, mama.”

“Ish..”

Nina chuckled at the spoiled attitude of her husband. His hands then moved to remove the clothes attached to Abi's body one by one. Then the big baby went into the bath tub that has been tested for soap and also aroma therapy.

“Sini ma, come in here. But opened first yes, let's not get wet.”

Nina was just trying to vibe a smile. He removed the remains of the cloth attached to his body and then entered into the bath tub. Slowly the woman began rubbing her husband's back.

☘️☘️☘️

Hand in hand, Nina and Abi walked out of the room. The big baby bathing event takes longer because the baby asks to be pampered first. Both of them stepped into the dining room. There his three sons were waiting.

“For so long the bath,” protest Freya.

“Papa must play foam first tuh,” chirped Kenan.

“That's your mah small time. The bath is not yet, the bath soap has run out a bottle,” replied Nina who was only replied to a grin by Kenan.

“Continue long bath, why?” freya Scout.

“Mainin mom,” map of Kenzie.

Nina widened her eyes hearing the frontal answer of her eldest child. Abi's hand moved quickly to snatch Kenzie's head. Freya heeded his ears, he hurried to the kitchen, while Kenan seemed to think hard about the meaning of the answer.

“Taraaa.. let's start the meal with the appetizer menu made by Frey.”

Freya came from the direction of the kitchen with a tray in her hand. He put five bowls of vegetable salad in front of the others. Then the girl pulled the chair beside Kenzie.

“Happy meal.”

Everyone at the dinner table began to enjoy the vegetable salad that Freya provided. Fortunately, the girl had seen how her mother prepared a vegetable salad.

“Feeling mbe I ate this,” chirped Kenan.

“Whispering, just eat doang. This is the salad that my mom often makes.”

“Bedalah taste. Making your mom saos is good. Well this is just mayo doang.”

Irritatedly Freya pinned his sister's head. Abi smiled at the behavior of the two. It was this moment she missed when she was stranded and away from family. Kenzie who had finished his salad stood up, then headed for the kitchen. He beckoned Kenan to help him.

While carrying the two plates in his hand Kenzie came and placed the plate in front of Nina as well as Abi. Then Kenan came up with two plates, one for him, one for Freya. Kenzie returns to the kitchen to pick up the last plate and sits back in his place.

Freya looked at the fried rice made by her sister. Visually, Kenzie-made fried rice looks delicious because Kenzie adds mix vegetables, chunks of chives, sausages and chicken suiran in it. The young man also put pieces of tomatoes and cucumbers as a garnish and equipped them with a plump eggplant placed on top of the fried rice.

Kenan who was already hungry immediately fed the rice into his mouth. He looked surprised when his tongue felt Kenzie's fried rice that looked tempting. He quickly swallowed his food and drank water to push it in.

“Vow bang, food taste lo horror bang.”

The curious Freya, immediately tried the fried rice in front of her. He almost regurgitated the food, hastily snatching the glass of water beside him. The curious Abi also tried it. The man swallowed his food. The food of the child was no better than her.

Nina only*lum smiles when she feels Kenzie's cooking is falling apart. Unbelieving the reaction given by his parents and sister, Kenzie also put fried rice into his mouth.

“Uhuk... uhuk.”

Kenzie coughed as soon as the fried rice entered his mouth. He grabbed the glass next to him and gulped it down the toilet. Kenan chuckles to see the brother also tormented tasting his own homemade cuisine.

“Crazy lo ya bang, papa just came home already lo poisonin aja,” chirped Freya.

“Hahahaha..” Abi couldn't help but laugh.

“Udah. udah.. mending us order food only yes,” by Nina.

“Good idea ma. I have a really good laper.”

“Last if order. How about going to dad's house. Must have been cooking,” proposed Freya.

“Well yes. Come on ma, pa.”

Kenan got up from his seat and took the others to Juna's house. Abi got up from his seat and pulled Nina, both of whom followed the step of the child who had already left.

Direct excitement occurs at Juna's house after an impromptu invasion from his neighbors. Nadia immediately contacted Rayi, asking her to bring extra food to her house. Of course it was with great pleasure that Rayi and Anfa came to join their children while carrying extra food.

The dinner begins. Laughter and laughter filled the whole house. The situation that for two weeks was filled with silence and sadness, now changed with happiness and cheerfulness. Juna was never far from Abi all night.

“Thank you, Bi, already back for us.”

Juna shakes his sister's shoulder. Both are enjoying the night breeze near the pool after dinner. The reflection of moonlight that shimmered in the pool area made the atmosphere more beautiful.

“Thank you also brother for not giving up looking for my existence,” Abi embrace Juna back.

“That's my duty as brother.”

“Sorry I always trouble you. Back then, also now.”

“You never troubled me. It's just that without your presence, my life is incomplete it feels.”

“Try to get here too.”

“Ooh so yes. You guys make out without my presence.”

Juna and Abi looked at each other at the same time. Behind them, Sekar was standing on his back. Nina called and asked him to come. Sekar quickly approached and hugged Abi.

“Sister Abi don't make me worry again.”

“Sorry brother, Se,” Abi wiped the tears that flowed down the cheek of the sister.

Juna approached and then grabbed Sekar's shoulder. Now Sekar stands among his brother. Both of his hands hugged Juna and Abi's waist. His heart was so happy, his beloved brother had returned to their midst.

“It turns out this feels ignored. The pain is here,” Anfa pointed at his chest.

Juna turned his head towards Anfa who was standing not far from them. His hand waved asking the man to come closer. With a smile on her face Anfa approached, she stood next to Juna and joined in embracing him. Happiness radiated on their faces and hope that both of their parents witness this happy moment.
