Marriage to the Enemy
The Part 67
The room was filled with an awkward atmosphere between them. Between Soraya and Kurniawan, so did Soraya with Bimo. Even so, Soraya tried to be ordinary. As if nothing happened.
Ricko came out of the bathroom shocked to see that the room was already full of adults. She looks into her eyes looking for the whereabouts of Mami Sora, although she is already big but still very spoiled with her mother.
Ricko walked closer to his mother, before he greeted each of them there.
"But when will it be?" ricko asked his father.
"Just now, son," said Kurniawan haru, then kissed the child's forehead. "Don't want to hug Papi?"
Kurniawan's hands stretched out hoping that the child would embrace him. Ricko obediently hugged the father.
"I'm sorry Papi, son," said Kurniawan lirih.
The middle-aged man felt guilty for leaving him so often. Ricko grew up without any intervention in his education.
"Why is Papi apologizing?" ask Ricko wonder.
"But you spend a lot of time. Papi should always be there for you, but Papi is busy with Papi's own world without thinking about you. Though you and Ricky are both Papi's children, but Papi's time for you is only a little," said Kurniawan full of regret.
"But don't feel guilty. Ricko is neither angry nor demanding Papi's time for Ricko. Mami always taught Ricko to be independent and not depend on others. Whoever it is" Ricko replied with a smile.
"Thank you, son. You are indeed the son of Mami Soraya, the great woman that Papi had met," said Kurniawan with teary eyes, ah if he could choose. Of course he would choose to maintain his marriage with Soraya. However, it seems that fate did not unite them in the sacred bond of marriage.
Miranti suddenly came in carrying several packs of food and drinks.
"Ehh, it's been a lot of turns. I'm sorry I went to the cafeteria for food" Mira said grimacing as she didn't expect to see her ex-wife.
Soraya shakes the hands of her ex-brother. Even though they were never met together alone, but Soraya already knew it because she often followed her husband when Ricko was a toddler.
After greeting the former honey who is now a besan, Soraya wanted to see Baby Attalah in the nursery. She had already seen even carrying Baby Kyren. Soraya also wants to see her brother's granddaughter which means his granddaughter as well.
With Ricky escorted, Soraya headed to the room where Baby Attalah was. Soraya wanted to see the condition of the baby with such a small weight.
What a surprise Ricky was when doctors and some nurses shrouded the incubator Baby Attalah.
"Dok, my son why?" ricky asked in an overwhelming panic at seeing his toy-like son in the hands of doctors and nurses.
"Baby Atta didn't breathe for a few minutes. Therefore, we take action to help the lungs and heart work," explained the doctor when finished handling baby Atta.
"O, thank you, Doc. It saved my son" Ricky said with a face full of relief because the child was free from death.
"Together, Sir. Actually, the one who gives healing for a disease is God. So too with birth and death. Don't worry, it's our duty" replied the doctor before leaving the room.
"Eyang's grandson is very handsome, very similar to Mas Gun him," Soraya said with dewy eyes. Her hands rubbed the skin of Baby Atta's wrinkled-looking hands.
Two days in the hospital, Renata and Baby Kyren have been released. Meanwhile, Baby Atta still has to be incubated considering the health of the baby.
When women are competing for her love, Soraya is getting away from her. There is always a reason for the beautiful woman to avoid the wide hijab. Ricko is the only hope to get the widow married.
"Sorry, Om. Mami is outside, there is a study event at the village hall. It just so happened that Mami was filling out the current event. So, it can't be bothered" Ricko said when Bimo asked Soraya where she was.
"Aren't you worried that your Mami is tired of her myriad activities? If not to go to the store to study, can not stay at home alone? Mas Kurni must have borne all your expenses. So, no need to tire of work anymore," complained Bimo.
"If mommy in the house only there is a long period of stress, Om. Mommy also needs to socialize so as not to be saturated. When I go to the store, my mom just checks. While filling out lectures in studies, my mother never took the honor. Even when teaching street kids, mommy does it to fill the void. If Ricko is off or there is no schedule, Ricko is also here. Teaching the street kids," said Ricko, he disagrees with Bimo's opinion.
Bimo was silent to the words of the adult attacked the fourteen-year-old teenager. Bimo was really amazed by the way Soraya educated her son. Ricko became an adult-minded man.
"It looks like Ricko is very suitable to be a leader later. Mature and wise attitude in saying. I have much to learn from the widow."
"Om, Om! Why even daydream, Om come here find mami no need what?" ask Ricko curiously.
"Eh, yes sorry. Hmm, Ricko doesn't want to have a new dad?" bimo asked suddenly, he felt he had to act quickly to get a woman as good as Soraya.
"No! Ricko doesn't want to see mommy cry anymore because of a man other than Ricko. Just live alone with mom, we are happy" Ricko replied calmly.
The age of the baby twins has been twenty-one days, Baby Attalah has been taken home because his weight has gone up and declared healthy. Today is his second aqiqah event. The event was held at the residence of Kurniawan, with many guests from the Kurnia Group relations invited.
Ricky and Rena invite neighbors around the house alone and some orphanage children. Meanwhile, Kurniawan and Miranti invite all business relations that are considered important. The workshop children were invited, but the afternoon was still ashar. It is intended that his guests with his parents' two guests do not meet.
The event was solemn until all invited guests said goodbye. Now live some friends Ricky and Rena, besides that there are still some mechanics as well.
By the Maghrib, all your invitational tammu are over. Leave two pairs of adults, Kurniawan-Miranti and Ricky-Rena. And Bimo who looks good.
"Why are you, Bim?" asked the brother was surprised to see the face of the sister who looked tangled.
"Rejected!" bimo replied as he got up from his seat leaving his brother.
Ricky and Rena have gone into the room.
"Thank you, honey, for accompanying me so far. I hope you never get tired of standing by me. I love you more" said Ricky, hugging his wife.
"I love you too. I should be the one who thanks you for accepting me for who I am, accepting me with all my shortcomings, Mas."
Such is the household, complement each other and fill the shortcomings. There is no perfect person in this world. Man was created in pairs to perfect. Give and take, complement each other if there is less.
