...CHAPTER 12...
...Let Love Come, As Time Passes...
After delivering Keyla to school in the family's private car Madam Ambar, Lyra was allowed to go home for a while, by riding her motorcycle which was parked in the yard of Ambar's house this morning.
This Saturday Lyra had promised her mother to attend the aqiqah event of her grandson Bu Marjuki who is also her nephew Fadil. This is the chance Lyra also met the man again, in addition to wanting to thank him, Lyra also wanted to give a small gift for the baby who will be in the aqiqah that day.
"How long, Nduk?!" tanya Bu Rukanda who was ready and impatiently waiting for Lyra from earlier, on the porch of his house.
"Sorry Mom, Lyra ran out of Keyla's antherin to school." replied Lyra after kissing the back of her mother's hand.
Rukanda breathed rough, she could not think with the thought of her daughter, just want to work as a nanny. Even though opening a toy store and children's clothing is more than enough to meet all the needs of their lives.
"Mother is confused as you are Lyra. Why should you accept someone's offer to be a nanny?! Until you stop just mumpung new work. Than later you keep your own hassles like this. Go early in the morning, keep coming home late at night. It's not noon yet that you should stop by the store first!" bu Rukanda said, very concerned to see his daughter who continued to slam bones working alone.
"Mom look at you, my heart is so hard, nduk! I want to see you live happily instead of increasing your hardship?!" he was sobbing, which Rukanda actually did not fully agree with her daughter's work.
"Who is in trouble, Mom? Lyra was happy with the job. Because Lyra so have her own busyness, so no more bored than to continue diem at home right..."
"As far as you are, dearest even replied. I only think later if you have a husband. Are you going to keep working as a babysitter, huh?" scared again.
Lyra sighed deeply, she seemed to think in her mother's words. His mother always said the truth. "Emm, if that's any more ma'am! Want not to... Lyra also has to stop working and focus on her own family. Yes, because Lyra knows that serving her husband is greater than any job.." said Lyra smiled gently looking at her mother whose old eyes were already glazed.
"That's you know for yourself!" cetus.
"Yes, later if Lyra has a mate, Lyra will stop being a nanny." he said trying to convince and please his mother again.
"Mom's happy to finally have your mind open... Hopefully what I hope that you get married soon this year, quickly granted yes, nduk.." said Rukanda smiled gently staring at the princess only wayangnya.
"Aamiin..." Lyra smiled back and embraced her mother. "Yes, ma'am, we leave later in waiting for Bu Marjuki at his house." said Lyra reminded, Bu Rukanda nodded.
Then the mother and son hurried off on the motorbike. Because before taking Keyla, Lyra had taken a bath and was wearing polite clothes so she no longer needed to change her clothes.
A few minutes later Lyra and her mother arrived at Fadil's house. All of the invited guests were also present. Lyra is parking her bike outside Fadil's yard. Because in the courtyard of his house has been covered by a tent and invited guests have also been sitting in their seats each waiting for a series of events.
"Let's go Nduk, let's go in first." Rukanda said slowly.
"He's patient, Mom..." Lyra opened her helmet first and quickly took a parcel that she had brought on the motorcycle for her nephew Fadil.
Marjuki's father and mother were also Farah, her older sister Fadil who was holding her baby. They were busy greeting the guests they invited and invited the guests to sit in the chairs that had been provided. Miss Marjuki also briefly saw Bu Rukanda and Lyra who had just reached her house.
Bu Marjuki patted Farah on the shoulder asking her to greet them first, while she went inside for a moment to call her son. Because today Fadil is also deliberately on leave because there is a family event.
Ms. Marjuki knocked on her son's room door several times.
"Nang, Nang! Come out, really long in the room!" behind the door.
Fadil who had just put on his coco shirt while looking at himself. He quickly opened the door of his room. Marjuki's mother smiled fluffyly after seeing the appearance of her son who was so very handsome by wearing cocoa and her scabbard.
"What's wrong, ma'am? Lyra and her mom are here?!" ask Fadil with a heart that has been pounding.
"Yes they've come." nodded Bu Marjuki enthusiastically. Fadil looked at the window of his house.
"Really Ma?!" tanyanya no longer believes.
"Yes! that's now they're waiting outside, so quickly you meet them first!" he said again, who was impatient to chat with prospective besan as well as his prospective daughter-in-law.
In fact, Bu Rukanda and Bu Marjuki have been secretly planning something for their daughter's son without Lyra's own knowledge. It was after Fadil was honest with his parents that he really liked Lyra.
"Eh even there! Spots out!" Marjuki's mother pulls her son's arm and forces him to go to Lyra immediately.
"Mom, wait a minute!" Fadil held fast his mother's hand. With his forehead already sweating due to his nervous ranking.
"Are you the Nang?!"
"Mom, didn't you say anything to Lyra?!" tanyanya again stammering.
Bu Marjuki shook his head smiling. "No, I won't say it before Lyra actually accepts your love. Therefore, this is your chance to talk frankly to him." he said, understanding his son who did not want if both Fadil's parents and Lyra's mother, alluding about their matchmaking first.
Fadil also did not want to rush to express his intentions who wanted to propose to him. He just wants to enjoy his old approach with Lyra, and wants to make Lyra feel comfortable when she's around him. That way love will come along with time. Fadil knows, the story of Lyra from Bu Rukanda about breaking up with her boyfriend that traumatized her to be with a man again.
Fadil wanted to find the right moment to express the love in his heart. Hopefully Lyra will also accept her true love.
After a long conversation and dinner. Lyra also intended to leave to them, because the time had shown at half-eleven in the afternoon, Lyra remembered that it was time to pick Keyla home at school.
"Sorry Mom, I have to pick up my foster child at school. I'm not good with my employer if it's too late to pick up her grandson." replied Lyra smiling wryly.
"Lho instead of that Lyra Nak already opened his own store huh? Why work as a nanny?!" Marjuki ma'am was astonished.
Lyra smiled stiffly, she looked puzzled to explain how. "Em it..."
"Yes ma'am, I am also surprised by my own son. How willing to be a nanny, even though she is tired of my care, then take care of the store. Even my son always comes home at night and leaves early in the morning already praying at dawn to take care of people's children." answered Rukanda chimed.
Lyra only sighed loudly, as her mother began to chatter long recounting herself. "Mother.." said Lyra quietly, wiping her mother's arm to stop talking.
"This mother is talking right, you are pushing yourself too hard and making yourself difficult." he said again with a grunt.
"That's what your mother said, Nak Lyra. You better be working as a nanny. Then focus on developing your toy store..." Bu Marjuki also spoke to agree with his mother's words.
"Em, how about I take you to pick up your foster kids?" bargain Fadil on the sidelines they talk. Everyone looked towards Fadil. "So let your mother stay here until the afternoon. Besides the weather outside is very hot, it is better to take a car so as not to overheat. Let the bike later I will deliver to your house and take your mother home too." he said again.
Bu Rukanda and Bu Marjuki turned to each other and smiled meaningfully. Then nodded in agreement with Fadil's offer.
"Yes, son, let Fadil take you back to your employer's house. It's a pity to keep riding the bike." said Marjuki Bu to Lyra.
"Thank you ma'am, but I_" Lyra grew distraught with the kindness of all of them.
"It's Nduk, just accept Nak Fadil's offer. She's really serious about your nolong.." timpal Bu Rukanda again, winking one eye, so that Lyra does not refuse Fadil's offer to her nor does she disappoint her mother.
Lyra let out her sigh resignedly, inevitably she also had to obey all her mother's requests again.
Then Lyra nodded with the advice of Fadil and his mother.
"Well then excuse me to go to the room to change clothes." said Fadil who stood up and went into his room to change clothes with more relaxed clothes.

The school bell rings. Keyla rushes out of the classroom and looks for Lyra. But he did not find his nanny in the playground of his school, usually Lyra will sit there waiting for him.
"Where's aunt?!" his murmur became anxious.
"Keylaaah!" exclaim Lyra.
Keyla looked back, hearing a voice calling out to her. Then his lips smiled widely because Lyra was already outside the school gate that just came out of the silver car.
"Tante!" his yell. Keyla ran quickly towards the school gate towards Lyra and a man.
"So you're Keyla's nanny?" asked Fadil in disbelief, after he got out of the car. He looked at Keyla who was running towards them.
"You, know that kid?!" sahut Lyra asked back. Fadil chuckled small and nodded quickly.
"Of course, Keyla was one of my patients who had typhus. And Papa Keyla's my high school friend, too." she explained.
Lyra was roundly surprised by Fadil's statement just now. "Oh yeah?! How could it happen that way.."
Then Lyra was surprised because Keyla had hugged her stomach tightly. "Aunty, where did Auntie come from? How come Key didn't exist?!" ask her with her pouting face.
"Sorry baby, Auntie had a little business..."
"Hallo Key, how are you, son?" tanya Fadil crouched down and rubbed Keyla's head.
Keyla looked at Fadil. His eyes are wide. "Om Doctor, how come Om can be here?" he said with a surprised face.
"Yes, Om who brought Aunt Lyra here to pick you up home." replied Fadil smiling.
Keyla looked at Fadil and Lyra. In his little mind wondering, what exactly was the relationship with those two adults in front of him?
