BETWEEN QATAR AND JOGJA
CALLS FROM AIRA AND DARREL
FROM SEDAYU ~JOGJAKARTA, YANKTIE CONGRATULATES READING THIS SIMPLE STORY
\~\~\~\~\~
“Uppa,” replied Aira lirih, Aurel just listened because the phone he had put between his two children.
“Beautiful Uppa, where are you dear?” Rajev answered Aira's greeting.
“Why cry?” rajev asked again but the little girl still did not answer. He only listened to the sound of his effort. She remembers her mother telling her not to cry.
“Uppa,” finally Darrel called Rajev in a very sleepy voice because he did not hear his Uppa calling him. Uppa just called her sister.
“Ya bang Darrel,” replied Rajev.
“Sister and Dede want bobo? Uppa sing huh? But Brother and Dede heard it while boboan ya,” orders Rajev responded Aira and Darrel with a nod.
Aurel heard Rajev tell him a little bit that he had finished his job in a distant place so he could not meet with Aira and Darrel. He says he is now home from work and will always be there for them and will take Aira to school again and accompany Darrel to play ball.
Surely Aurel was very sad to hear that. Sad as both of his children had to suffer being kept away with the figure of the father they knew. Because they have not been able to remember Radit.
Aurel heard Rajev start to sing shalawat to bring his two children to sleep. By the time they got ready, Aurel picked up the phone.
“Thank you,” he said then immediately disconnected his phone.
Rajev who heard Aurel's voice was speechless. He was confused happy or sad. All he knows is that Aurel still appreciates it, still wants to express his gratitude for helping him put their baby to sleep. Yes, Rajev considers Aira and Darrel to be their children, not just Aurel's children.
***
One week Aurel had been on vacation, he did tell Vienna he would be on leave, but he kept monitoring his work via office phone and email or through a mobile phone with a hidden caller id feature. He kept his replacement number secret at the ready. Only Bagas knew the number of his successor. And as always, Bagas is always trustworthy. Never once broke a promise.
The curious Rajev once came to Aurel's office to talk to Vienna, from Vienna Rajev knew that Aurel was still monitoring his work in the office and at his pastry shop. Rajev asked for Aurel's email address in Vienna.
It's been three days since Rajev sent an email to Aurel but there was no response. The woman had frozen to answer all things related to Rajev, although during the holidays, Aira and Darrel spoke to Rajev three times on the phone.
Today Aurel will return to Jakarta, enough for him to think again many times over the decisions he made.
He has decided to let whatever Rajev wants to do to his two children, but he will not be involved. He has decided to close his heart to Rajev.
“Assalamu’alaykum,” strangles Aira and Darrel as they enter their home.
“Wa’alaykum salam,” replied mbak Yuni and mbak Nah who happened to be in the front room. The two ARTs immediately embraced each of his upbringing which they so longed for.
Aurel immediately gave her children's suitcases to her two caregivers and she brought her suitcase to her bedroom above. From the house phone in his room he contacted his father, mother and Bagas that he had reached home.
‘Kids are already at home’ a short message from Tarida's bu that Rajev received instantly made him jump, he rushed to finish his work and then headed for Aurel's house.
“Assalamu’alaykum,” greet Rajev when entering the house of his lover.
“Wa’alaykum salam,” bik Siti replied quickly, because it was only her who was in the front room.
“Kids where Bik?” rajev asked because he did not hear the chattering of his two children.
“They are in each Master's room, probably telling a story with the mbakakya” bik Siti answered Rajev's question politely.
Rajev approaches Darrel's room and summons the hero he yearns for. “Abang Darrel” said in front of the door.
“Uppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,” pekik Darrel while running towards Rajev. Rajev immediately knelt down and hugged Darrel who immediately hugged him.
“Jagoan Uppa,” whispered Rajev, doused Darrel face without stopping. Aira who heard Darrel's cry immediately ran towards her sister's room. At the door he saw Darrel in the arms of his wife.
“Uppaaaaaa,” Aira also came running and hugged Rajev's body from behind.
“Ha ha ha, here Uppa kiss first Sister, Uppa kangeeeeen Nak,” Rajev turned around and hugged Aira. She also peeped at her little princess's face.
Mbak Yuni and Mbak Nah could only bow down to hide her tears at the heartwarming encounter.
Aurel who was just down heard Darrel's scream and Aira immediately went up again to his room and locked the door. He knows Rajev has never been so lazy to get in his room, but he feels safer when he locks up his room.
Aurel changed her phone number back to her original number. Since being determined to start a new step, she convinces herself to face whatever lies ahead.
When the number is attached, hundreds of messages and missed calls are visible in the notification. He deleted all the notifications, he refused to read all the messages, but they expired.
Rajev was in the family room of Aurel's house when there was a notification Aurel's number was back active. He was listening to Aira and Darrel. From the story of Aira, Rajev suspects Aurel vacationing in Jogja, because Aira story riding a horse, riding Andong, to a smart park, and, to the palace and take a car odong-odong with colorful lights and diverse shapes.
Darrel sits quietly on Rajev's lap as Aira tells him a story. The little man was not yet very good at explaining what he had been through. Mbak Yuni and mbak Nah have since just sat very far from their two foster children. It would be rude of them to sit near Rajev.
At dinner, Aurel did not come down to eat together, so Neng who was asked to call him said Aurel was full and would not go down to eat. Rajev feels bad for Tarida's mom. Because his presence in the house made Aurel did not go down to eat.
“Assalamu’alaykum,” greet Bagas and Aurel's father, they rushed to come because they wanted to meet with Aurel and his two children.
“Wa’alaykum salam,” reply bi Siti and invite them directly to the dining table.
“Assalamu’alaykum,” greet Bagas and father Aurel.
“Wah fun, just after meal time,” continued Bagas while kissing the cheek of Tarida bu who was already considered as his mother.
“Wa’alaykum greetings, you are healthy Nak,” reply bu Tarida with pleasure. She was always happy because Bagas treated her like his own mother.
“Wa’alaykum salam,” reply Rajev while approaching his future father-in-law and salim kiss his hand.
“Bik Siti please tell Aurel there is Bagas and his father,” order bu Tarida. He was sure Aurel wouldn't be able to stay in the room if his father came.
