Love In Sketches
Arya Didn't Come

The father and son walked side by side through the hospital corridor.

"You're happy Rubby, Intan gave birth?" Ask Bakti's Dad.

"Of course Rubby's happy Dad. Rubby's got a funny niece now." Rubby replied, a twinkle of happiness was clearly imprinted on his face.

"Don't you want to have a cute baby too?" Ask Father again.

"Dad why ask like that? Which woman doesn't want to have a cute baby?" Rubby asked back.

"Then marry Rubby." Say Bakti Father. Rubby stopped his steps, looking at his father.

"It's not that Rubby doesn't want to, but Rubby's waiting for him, Dad." Sluggishly. There was a heavy sigh from Bakti's father, knowing who his daughter meant.

"Well, I hope you can be together again." Bakti's father rubbed Rubby's hair covered in hijab.

"Come on Dad, we'll buy some food. The others must be hungry." Get Rubby to hold his father's arm.

Without them noticing, a pair of eyes had been watching the conversation between the two of them.

"Hopefully after this, you can get back together with your ex-husband. Your happiness is my happiness, Rubby." Doctor Malik said in his heart. Though his heart aches, he will not force his will. Seeing Rubby smile, that was enough for him.

In the ward.

"Ep... There's actually something Mama wants to tell you." Said Mama Dewi who is still holding her first grandchild, while looking at Mother Maya, Intan, and Andika alternately.

"What's Dew?" Ask Mother Maya.

"But I'm asking, don't tell Rubby about this." Mama Dewi's words made the three people look at each other.

"What's up, Ma? What's something important?" Ask Andika curious.

"Ep... Mama met Doctor Malik, something she told Mama." Mama Dewi paused her speech.

"Doctor Malik? Is Doctor Malik planning to propose to Mr. Rubby again, Ma?" Intan asked, the three people there were immediately flabbergasted.

It's possible that Doctor Malik would like to make a surprise for his brother by proposing an impromptu proposal again? So Mama Dewi asked not to tell this to Rubby. Think Intan.

"Not Intan." Sahut Mama Dewi fast.

"It's not about Doctor Malik." Reciprocity.

"Then about what, Ma?" Andika asked.

"Ep... Look at..." Mama Dewi then said exactly the same as what Doctor Malik said earlier.

"REally?!" Ask the three people at the same time as Mama Dewi finished talking. The middle-aged woman nodded.

"Of course." The answer.

"But remember the message from Mama." Furthermore, they nodded in unison with wide smiles on each other's faces.

Soon Rubby and Bakti's father returned with a few bags of food.

"What's this?" Bakti's father asked because he saw his family throwing happy laughter at each other.

"Dad..." Mother Maya approached her husband.

"Why Mother? You guys seem to be happy?" Bakti's father asked his wife, the middle-aged man seemed curious about what they were talking about.

"Of course we're happy Dad. Our family members will increase." Mother Maya replied with a big smile on her face, but Bakti's father instead looked at her suspiciously.

"Certainly so?" Ask.

"Want Mother tell me." Mommy Maya replied half-whispering, Bakti's father nodded. While Rubby looked confused, the others laughed and his parents whispered to each other instead.

"Rubby, where's the lunch? Mama is hungry." Call Mama Dewi, awaken Rubby who is silent.

"Let's have lunch first." Take Mother Maya. They enjoyed lunch together, while occasionally chatting lightly. And Baby Dikta was still asleep in his sleep.

Two weeks passed...

Today there is an aqiqah baby Dikta event at the Bakti Father's residence. Everyone seemed to be busy preparing various dishes for the guests who came.

A girl stood in the corner of the room after all her work was done. His pair of eyes circulated hoping that the person he was waiting for would come.

"Mas Firaz, where are you? This is your niece's show, don't you want to come?" Rubby muttered to himself, while his hands were intertwined.

"Even since Andika and Intan's child was born, Mas Firaz never showed himself."

While behind her, Mama Dewi was watching the movements of her former daughter-in-law who looked agitated.

"Rubby!"

"Astagfirefull!" Rubby was shocked, Mama Dewi patted her shoulder quite hard.

"Mama..."

"What are you doing here? Come join the others." Mama Dewi.

"Ma, did Mas Firaz not come?" Ask Rubby.

"You waiting for Arya? He didn't come Rubby." Mama Dewi replied to make Rubby disappointed.

"Why didn't Mas Firaz come, Ma?" Ask Rubby again.

"Rubby, Arya doesn't want to go anywhere. All this time Arya always locked herself in the house." Mama Dewi replied as she rubbed the glasses girl's arm.

"Rubby just wants to see it, Ma. It's been seven months since Mas Firaz said the word talak, and we've only met once in the park." Rubby's mouthful.

"When Rubby came to Mama's house, Rubby couldn't meet with Mas Firaz." Reciprocity. Rubby is not infrequently come to visit the house of Mama Dewi, but unfortunately what he wants to see never shows himself, because Arya always stays in her room.

Though seeing Arya from a distance alone was enough for Rubby to treat his longing. He also realized that the man was no longer his own, but what was wrong if he just wanted to see it?

"Rubby, don't think about Arya anymore." Mama Dewi said, she could only feel sympathy.

"But Mas Firaz was always on Rubby's mind, Ma."

"Here you go, let's just go to the living room." Mama Dewi pulled Rubby's arm, inevitably the girl followed him.

*Kok Rubby is like that? Is there no other guy in the world? Arya kept that in mind?

#From the beginning it has been said, here Rubby who first fell in love and love died with Arya. Rubby's character is like this from there. But Rubby doesn't beg2 same Arya ask for back, he just hope.

*Ga ngemis2 what? That Rubby came straight to Arya's house?

#Come to get in touch. Rubby maintained good relations with the ex-husband's family because they separated instead of betrayal, the KDRT, or a third person. Not blame? Lagian Rubby also made no maksa to meet ma Arya, if you meet thank you, if you do not already.

*But Rubby is crying mute? Crybaby right.

#Okey, gini. If you suddenly broke up with the girlfriend you love, you will cry or even laugh2? Just a girlfriend but you guys must be crying, right? Well this is on the spur of the moment the same beloved husband, how does it feel? Sad ga?
