6 Months later ....
At that time, the afternoon before the turn of the year. Azkira content age, has entered the seventh month. Ahh, they were already impatiently waiting for the birth of the baby they were waiting for the most.
"Darling, don't you want to go outside and enliven the new year like everyone else?" ask Fathan.
"Doooh, I'm gonna feel bothered like that, Bang. Lately, I have been urinating more often. I'm lazy to go back to the bathroom in a crowded place."
"Alright, Honey. Then we invite everyone. Bang Revan, Dila, Grandma, Gunawan's Dad, and Bi Inah. We got together and BBQ. Agreed?"
"That's more convenient for me, Bang. But ...."
"But what, honey?"
"Dad Antoni, why haven't you come home yet? Does he not miss being with us?"
"Dad's home ...." Suddenly Antoni was standing behind Azkira.
"Dad!" jolt Azkira who looked surprised, but also happy.
"Yes, Honey. I'm home and I'm not leaving until my first grandchild is born."
Azkira smiled as she shook Antoni's hand. "Thank you, Dad."
Then, Fathan hugged Antoni tightly. "Thank you, Dad."
"Well, thanks for what, son?"
"Because Father has made me and my lover are united," whispered Fathan in Antoni's ear.
"Haha! So, I'm not wrong 'would've betrothed you to the girl of my choice."
"That's not wrong at all. I've done it so right." They also laugh together.
Not long after, everyone arrived. Gathering at Antoni's house. Complete is their extended family. BBQ-an began to be launched, laughter, warm clutches also boisterous coloring that night.
"It seems, something is different. Why is Bang Revan's face so radiant," teased Fathan who is currently transformed into a whole brother to Revan.
Revan just smiled, then hugged Fathan. "Congratulations to us, for soon we will both be fathers."
"I didn't think I'd welcome two great-grandchildren at once" Sinta said with a warm smile.
"Oh, Gunawan! Look, this year we're going to welcome our grandchildren" Antoni told Revan's foster father.
"True, my Nurhayati must be happy to see this happiness from up there" Gunawan replied.
"I'm sure it is like that" Antoni continued.
Azkira and Dila who were both pregnant were just listening while staring at each other and laughing. They put their hands together full of happiness. Oh, ja. At that time Dila was only three months old. That means, only four months difference with the gestational age Azkira.
They enjoy that quality time. Enjoy the dishes while chatting all the things they can share. Truly, that night all the excitement seemed to be present in Antoni's house.
In the midst of that noise. Come Dion. Ahh, yes. This year, the Chili Sauce Resto is no longer open until midnight. Because, after the family Fathan understands how important it is to give employees the opportunity to gather with their loved ones.
"Is there an empty seat for me?" lontar Dion's. Making them all speechless and momentarily staring dumbstruck.
"Mahaha ...." Suddenly Antoni and Fathan laughed at the same time.
"Dad, your favorite son. The acute singles are coming" said Fathan.
"Don't say that, Fathan. Don't you know. Father and Mr. Gunawan are also single" Antoni replied.
Just contact the laughter of everyone on the air along with the fun and warmth between them. On the eve of the great new year's welcome. This is the most beautiful year, although it cannot be separated from the sadness, wounds and past events that many incised wounds.
Soon, the fireworks will again glow, the trumpets will cheer, decorate the sky that looks bright tonight. Not as dark and thick as last year. Oh, it was beautiful that night.
"Uncle, tomorrow-tomorrow it looks like we have to compete for a partner. So that Fathan will no longer make fun of singles like us" said Dion. They laugh back.
'To the seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks and months that have accompanied me through hard and easy times, hard and happy, sick and healthy, suffering and happy. Thank ye. Now my girlfriend is in love. I'm no longer afraid of losing him. My lover has become my full wife. And soon we will bear the fruit of our love. That's the most special hdiah. Thank you again, O Owner of the Universe.' Fathan pondered for a moment in silence.
'Loving the destiny outlined for me. Yes, that's what my late father and mother always taught me. And sure enough, when I began to surrender and love everything that happened to me, happiness became the filler of my days. Now I'm not afraid of being tortured until my heart breaks, my feelings are torn, and my body is helpless. Because my love has changed. My fathan has incarnated into a person present like a protective god. I am grateful for this wonderful destiny, Lord. I am grateful that the false promise of marriage, has now turned into the purest sacred promise.' Inner Azkira in drifting along with the dazzling excitement of fireworks.
They also live happily. With family, friends, and beloved friends. Now, everything can be overcome, now everything can be faced more easily. The marriage that was previously full of torture. It is now the most perfect household. They understand each other, complement each other, and of course love each other.
