I Was the Second
Thirty One

It was Rayhan's turn to go home to Alfina. Time shows at half-five in the afternoon. Rayhan came with Aisyah and Sulaiman who came home from school.

"Assalamualaikum" they said as they entered the house.

"Waalaikumussalam warohmatullahi wabarokatuh," said Alfina who was beautiful and fragrant after bathing in the afternoon. Ayesha and Sulaiman saluted his Umminya. And Rayhan who entered the rear, Alfina kissed the back of Rayhan's hand with reverence, then Rayhan kissed Alfina's forehead, and they hugged. Long and warm.

"Umma, I take a shower first" said Aisyah who went upstairs.

"Sulaiman also took a bath first," Sulaiman followed his brother, as if they understood that both his parents wanted to both let go of the longing.

"Mas Ray," said Alfina.

"Hmm.iya Al," said Rayhan.

They then released their arms and faced each other while looking at each other and smiling, Rayhan's hand on Alfina's shoulder, while Alfina's two hands were on Rayhan's waist.

"Where's fatimah?" asked Rayhan who never saw his youngest daughter.

"So still playing in her room, I went down first because it's time for you to go home" replied Alfina whose face beamed to welcome her husband home.

"Oh.I'm excited to take a shower, soon Maghrib too," said Rayhan.

"Well, we go upstairs, I'm going to get Mas Ray's dressing up at the mosque" Alfina said, then put Rayhan's arm together and they climbed the stairs together.

"Aren't you overwhelmed about Al's own kids?" ask Rayhan.

"Alhamdulillah, no Mas, all Allah made easy, Aisha and Sulaiman began to be responsible for what they did," replied Alfina.

"For example?" ask Rayhan.

"If you sleep last night, can wake up late, continue how to let the misfortune, sleep flat, then if the morning does not get up, it could be late to school, so the morning should be spun awake, then if you wake up late in the morning, we used to bother Mas, screaming wake up. Now mahnnn, they can be alone, as her mother, the same time," said Alfina.

"There's a silver lining that means that if I'm not home, I take a shower, baby" said Rayhan, who closed the bathroom door.

Alfina immediately prepared a change of clothes for Rayhan.

Once ready, Rayhan went to the mosque with Sulaiman to pray Maghrib congregation.

The next night after that they all gathered in the living room to study together. This time Alfina's task becomes lighter, as Rayhan again helps her teach the children. To learn academic lessons, Alfina taught them, and for the memorization deposit of the Qur'an, they were with Rayhan.

Fatimah who had been stuck in Rayhan's lap, not even a second away from her ashes, he hugged Rayhan as if he did not want to be left again.

"Abi, Umma, Ayesha is sleepy" said Aisyah, yawning and covering her mouth with her left hand. His eyes were also watering because of sleepiness.

"Yuk, Fatimah, ummi deliver to the room, Fatim bobok same mba Ais yes," said Alfina to reach her youngest daughter.

"Ga wants, Fatim is spoiled with Abi," said Fatimah refused Alfina's invitation, and still embraced Rayhan. Apparently the little girl misses her Abinya a lot. Rayhan was made to smile by him.

"Yes, we all sleep together here, yes, Abi also miss you all" said Rayhan.

"Yeah!!!" exclaim kids. Alfina was also happy to hear Rayhan's decision, it had also been a long time that they had not slept together, the last time the vacation time at her in-laws' house.

"Fatim, sit on the sofa first baby, Abi want to take the mattress," said Rayhan. Fatimah nodded obediently and shifted towards the sofa, then sat there sweetly.

Rayhan and Sulaiman carried the mattress from the tv room, and Alfina and Aisyah took a pillow from the upper room.

Then they lay down together, in succession Aisha, Alfina, the little Fatimah in the middle, Rayhan, then the most marginal Sulaiman.

"Yuk pray yuk," said Alfina.

"Bismikallahumma ammutu wa ahya" they said, Rayhan then turned off the lights and returned to their center.

After the children fell asleep, Rayhan's stalling hands stroked Alfina's hair.

"Sleep Zaujaty.you must be tired today" said Rayhan. Alfina felt very comfortable with Rayhan's caress.

"Yes ....Mas Ray too, must have been very tired of working all day for us, good night Mas," said Alfina. And before long everyone had fallen asleep to the dream world.

Rayhan is very grateful and grateful, he is very happy to be in the middle of this family again. Not to be unhappy with Zia and Maryam, but Rayhan also felt homesick with his wife's child who was here.

.

The next day Alfina was cooking in the kitchen, while Rayhan helped Sulaiman and Fatimah get ready, then after Sulaiman and Fatimah were ready, followed by Aisha they went down to prepare breakfast.

"What is breakfast?" ask Raihan.

"I just make fried rice with eggs Mas Mas Mas beef eyes don't mind, right?" ask Alfina.

"Of course it's not a pity that we have breakfast together" said Rayhan. And Alfina aided Aisyah to arrange the dishes at the dinner table and then they had breakfast together.

After breakfast Rayhan takes the kids to school and Alfina drives her own car to her fried chicken shop.

"Be careful on Al Street" said Rayhan.

"Mas Ray too" said Alfina, and they entered their respective cars.

Alfina deliberately brought her own car because later she would shop for some ingredients for the chicken shop. So the road taken is different from Rayhan's car. They split up at the first intersection near their home.

Alfina was driving at a moderate speed, driving with little Fatimah. At the red light, someone attacked the car from behind.

"Aaahhhhh." said Alfina. Fatimah cried in surprise. Alfina felt wet under her skirt. And he grew more panicked and surprised, because he touched the place he was sitting on, and saw the red color in his hand.

After that Alfina was unconscious. Lucky the crash driver wanted to stop and see Alfina.
