Rehan's Proposal

Rehan stepped back into his room with an idea in mind. He felt that that was the right way to solve the problem regarding Nathan's status.

As soon as he got to the front door of the room, Rehan opened the door very slowly. The man was a little surprised to see Naura was already sitting down. The woman looked blank, like she was thinking about something.

"Darling? why are you awake again?" Rehan touched Naura's shoulder gently, leaving the woman in shock.

"Huft, Papa, why don't you come in the door anyway?" naura protested while stroking her chest.

"What am I knocking on my own door? anyways, I know, you were asleep earlier" Rehan said, slipping a smile on his lips.

"Papa, where was that?" naura's eyebrows rose, suspicious.

"Emm, I was in the kitchen for a drink. Because I don't sleep anymore, I watch television for a while" Rehan said, lying. "Oh yeah, you haven't answered my question, why are we waking up again? and why are you daydreaming? is there anything that bothers you?" Rehan repeated his question and this time in a row while sitting on the edge of the bed.

Naura did not answer. The woman only sighed heavily enough while closing her eyes at a glance.

"Pa, I don't know why Nicho's words really bothered my mind. What if what he said was true? what if I actually have a child first, because it is very clear that in my stomach there is a former operation that looks like a Caesarean section," said Naura Lirih while massaging her head which seemed to start hurting again.

Rehan's throat was choked. Even the man had a hard time just to swallow his own saliva.

"Darling, haven't I told you that you've had surgery before, to get a cyst out of your stomach? why are you asking again?" rehan said with a worried look, realizing that his wife was holding back pain.

"But, Pa. Why do I feel like saying ___"

"Already, already! don't you think about it anymore! your head will hurt. Now we sleep again! papa was already very sleepy," Rehan quickly interrupted Naura's words and helped his wife lie down.

"It seems, I have to wait for tomorrow to be able to say my intentions" Rehan whispered to himself.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The morning sun had now begun to peek out from behind the clouds and like the sun was still timid.

Nathan was seen opening his eyes slowly, it was clear that the young man was still not sleeping enough. Yes, last night after Nicholas' departure, the young man could not sleep at all, even though he had forced his eyes. The young man's mind was completely unsettled, afraid that Nicholas would not heed his plea.

"I really can't calm down now. I'd better come over there, and make sure of myself." Nathan no longer cared about his drowsiness. The young man came down from the bed and was about to go to the bathroom. However, suddenly the young man dampened his steps, as he suddenly felt indecisive.

"But, if I go there suddenly, when I am not invited at all, what reason will I give? well, maybe, Brother Nicholas thinks that what I said last night, 'lies'. I'd better not go there anyway," Nathan finally decided to undo his intentions.

"Or, I'd better just get out of this apartment and rent a little house or sniffle. I already have my own money, right? it seems like I also have to put off college for at least a year and find a job while still painting" Nathan told himself.

"Yes, it seems like it has to be that way. I'll tell Nicholas later, when I get out of here. I hope Brother Nicholas can understand my decision," again Nathan monologues to himself.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Let's have breakfast!" naura said as she spooned the food into her husband Rehan's plate.

"Thank you, honey!" Rehan smiled sweetly.

"I also want to dong, Ma was taken food with Mama," chirped Nicholas who this morning suddenly spoiled.

The smile on Nicholas' lips suddenly shrunk and immediately felt that his attitude should now be obtained by Nathan.

"Yes, Mah. Let me get it myself, the food!"Nicholas grabbed the spoon in Naura's hand.

"Lho, why is it like that? mom doesn't mind, you're acting like a kid. My mom is very happy. You don't take heart of your sister's words" Naura brushed off Nicholas' hand and kept spooning the meal into Nicholas' plate.

"Jiahh, tumben, Brother immediately bring to the heart of Nabila's words. Usually it's a very big brother and even muted Nabila," ledek Nabila.

"When! don't keep on teasing your brother. Now you eat it fast!" tell Naura with a sharp look.

After that, everyone ate breakfast without any talk at all.What was heard was only the sound of spoons and forks, which clashed on a plate. During the meal, Nicholas' face seemed uninspired, feeling sad at the thought of Nathan who must be enjoying his breakfast in solitude now, while he was with a complete family.

"I'm done eating. I'm full" Nicholas wrapped the corners of his lips in a tissue and shoved his old plate that didn't look finished.

"Why isn't your food running out, Nicho?". Naura squinted her forehead. "Disappearing food, huh?" continued back.

"Honey boy, Ma. I'm just full" said Nicholas, forcing his lips to smile.

"Whoof? you're just eating a little, are you full?" Naura looked at Nicholas suspiciously. "Are you not feeling well?" naura's suspicious gaze now turned into a worried look.

"No-no, Ma! I'm just really full already" Nicholas argued, nervous. Meanwhile, Rehan sighed, because only he knew why Nicholas could be like that.

"Yes, then. The important thing is that you're okay" Naura said as she resumed her meal.

"Sister Nicholas still craves Ma, because I said rich little boy earlier," said Nabila who really likes nosy on the brother.

"When this morning, my sister wouldn't argue with you at all. So don't look for it!" nicholas said with annoyance, making Naura even more shocked. Not only Naura, Nabila was also shocked because only this time her brother was that early on to her.

"Son, are you in trouble again? your sister was just kidding, why are you yelling at her?" naura Tegur.

"Sorry,Ma!" nicholas said, lirih.

"You should apologize to your sister, not your mother,"

"Sorry, if so!" said Nicholas, while looking at Nabila whose lips have pursed now.

"Papa's finished eating!" Rehan did the same thing as Nicholas did. The difference was, the food on the plate of the middle-aged man was already exhausted. "Honey, I remember, I have something I want to talk to all of you here" Rehan said with a serious face.

"What are you talking about, Pa?" asked Naura with a frown. Meanwhile, Nicholas' heart is now beating, fearing that his father will tell his mother the truth.

"I hope you agree with your wishes" Rehan said, leaving Naura and the others even more confused.

"What's the hell you want, Pa? can you tell me now?" naura demanded.

"Ma, I want us to raise Nathan as our own son. Kasian she lives alone and is not considered, how?" rehan said, very carefully. According to him only in that way, Nathan can call his wife, mama.
