After Sella returned home, Tio returned to the Cherry room. Tio came in after knocking on the door then tidied up the laptop and the items he would bring to the office. This morning I will be going home for a while to change clothes.
Cherries who saw Tio return to her room only stared and did not comment. Until the knocking of the door was heard again.
"Assynolt...."
"Wa'allaikumsalam...."
"Tio, are you going to work?" ask her mother who put the dining place on Tio's front desk.
"Yes Mah, change your clothes first."
"No need to go home, Mom is ready to change clothes for you. Breakfast just left. Cherries, Auntie bring vegetables katuk son, this is good for you so that the ASI is smooth."
Hearing the mamah's words, Tio glanced at the smiling Cherry staring at her mama. After hearing Sella's words earlier, not the disgust she felt at the Cherries. But if true both really contracted the same disease.
"Thank You Aunt..."
"Dear together, Auntie get ya." Not yet had time to scoop a meal for him, Cherry immediately got out of bed and wanted to join on the sofa.
"Be careful, baby, you haven't recovered properly!" Mamah approached and helped the Cherries down.
"Thank you Aunt, but later in the afternoon Cherries and Rayya can go home."
"really?"
"Yes," Cherry sat next to Tio at a safe distance. "And the Cherries want to invite Auntie, Om and Tio to come to Rayya's akikah event. InsyaAllah will be Cheri held on Sunday Aunt. Waiting for his brother to take school off.
"We'll come baby, maybe from morning Aunt help you get ready. When are you planning on getting married?"
uhuuuk uhuuuk
Tio immediately grabbed his bottle and gave it to the Cherries.
"Sorry Aunt, Cherry decided to end the agreement," said Cheri after being able to control her.
Mamah Tio was surprised to hear that, "are you serious son?"
"Yes Aunty, Ceri thought there was no need to get married if she wanted to protect the Cherries and the children. Friends can also. Cherries don't want us to fail Auntie, because we don't love each other."
"Son, but Tio made a promise to your father. He has to keep it. What else is trust before your father dies." Mamah Tio tried to remind.
Tio just kept quiet, he didn't want to interfere. He's reminded Cherries enough. But if Cherries put an end to it, it's not her fault.
"Sorry Aunt, Cherries are afraid of failure." Cherry lowered her head, the shadow of the past when hurt by Reno repeated. He did not want to go back to experiencing the same thing.
"When Aunty already loves you very much, you already consider Auntie like her own son Aunt." Mamah Tio was so sad, she hoped her son would get married soon in order to forget about Sella. Mamah does not want Tio to continue to be entangled with the love of her past which has now become the wife of people.
"Mah...."
Mamah took a deep breath and then grasped the hands of Cherry, "sorry if Aunt like forcing ya son. Aunty appreciate your decision. But if Auntie misses the kids, can't Auntie come to visit?"
"Of course it can be Aunty, Cherries already consider Aunty like Mamah Ceri herself. Just to marry Tio Cherry can't yet. Let the covenant be the Cherries who bear it all Auntie, this is for the common good. Cherries don't pantes for Tio, but if Tio has to marry a widow of two children like Cherries."
"You're a good woman, Auntie sure out there a lot of people want you. It was just that Tio was still shackled by his past. If Auntie's son wants to open his heart a little, Auntie's sure he'll come after you."
Cherry did not answer, she just lowered her head. I had not imagined that he would marry again. She wants to focus on her two children. Even with the status of a widow, she felt unworthy.
In the afternoon, Cherries returned home by Tio's parents, Mr. Juna, who came home early that day to pick them up at the hospital. Arriving home, Regan welcomes with a carefree heart. What else saw his sister who had come home. He asked to be immediately put down and greeted with an occasional kiss of anxiety.
"Ceri, Aunty go home first. Auntie forgot that Tio's going out of town tomorrow. Auntie wants to prepare for her needs."
"Yes Aunty, thank you very much Auntie, Om."
"Yes Aunty, thanks for being so good with Cherries." Cherries hugged him with the corners of her wet eyes. Long time no attention from a mother makes him miss.
"Regan, Opa and Oma go home first. Take good care of your mom and baby sister, son!"
"Yes Opa, Regan's a big brother...." Regan smiled with anxiety.
After they came home, Cherries immediately took her two children to the room. It's late, it's time he started staying up if Rayya wakes up later asking for milk.
Taking the time to accompany Regan to study and then accompany her until Brother fell asleep.
"Why didn't Om Tio come?" ask before falling asleep.
"Om Tio is still busy in the office. Regan can't bother Om Tio, baby."
"But Regan kangen playing the same Om Tio Mah. When did Om Tio come here again?" ask her with a sad face.
"If it's not busy, Om Tio must play. Weekends are usually like that. So Regan has to be patient until the time comes." Cherry tries to persuade Regan not to be sad. He himself does not know when Tio will come home again, added himself who has decided to end the agreement. There was no reason for Tio to come, because he was not bound by responsibility.
"Regan wants Om Tio to be Papah Regan." Those were the last words before Regan finally fell asleep.
Cherry took a deep breath, she did not know what to answer. Regan's closeness with Tio makes her continue to expect Tio to be her Papah.
Cherry activity is increasing because of Rayya now, it has been almost a week Cherry became a mother figure who is active in taking care of her own two children. After dropping off Regan at school, she must return home as Rayya is waiting for her.
Today Romi and his mother came to see Rayya. Romi who decided to settle in Indonesia also began to be busy replacing his mother take care of his papa heritage company. Until the two can only see Rayya back after a few days Cherry came home from the hospital.
"You take care of everything yourself, son?"
"Yes Aunty, sometimes aunty helps if the Cherries are really busy."
"Do you want me to find a baby sitter to help?" ask Romi who is now sitting next to his mommy greeting the tiny baby who is in the sling of Aunt Tina.
"No need Rom, I'm still capable. Yes, although it's a hassle, but I enjoy it."
"I just don't want you to be tired, your body is also thin. I am tired of having to stay up every night. If you want to be your husband, you open. I'll be the number one person to propose."
Romi's words seem joking but in fact he is serious about his words. Romi is eager to ask for Cherries, but he is afraid that Cherries will refuse what else he knows his rivals are heavy.
Romi and Aunty Tina say goodbye when Cherry also has to pick Regan up to school. On the way home Regan asks to stop at her favorite restaurant. He had not eaten his favorite food for a long time.
"Well, Regan wants sushi."
"Yes, but eat it at home. Mamah could not leave Rayya's sister for long, dear, had not left milk for her. Kasian will be thirsty."
"Yes, come on, let's get the baby sister crying." Regan pulls Cherry's hand when she arrives at the restaurant. Enter with enthusiasm because his desire is filled with the mama.
"You sit here, you want to order first." Cherry sat Regan in one of the chairs and ordered food to take home.
Regan's eyes sparkled when she saw Tio enter, she immediately went down and ran until Tio's steps came to a halt.
"Boy..."
"Om Tio, Regan kangen." Regan hugged Tio tightly.
"Om misses Regan, too, but who are you here for?" Tio circulated his gaze, but did not find any Cherries there.
"Regan is equally mamah, but mamah again order food. Om Tio when to play at Regan's? rayya's sister's show is coming tomorrow, isn't it?" With his own face Regan made Tio's heart unbearable.
"Regan, I'm looking for you here, son." Cherry stared at the two people she knew. What else he saw his female hand coiled affectionately on Tio's arm.
