My Old Star
#92 Morning Gymnastics
Mentari fell silent in fear because his question made Arfan furious, Arfan looked at him sharply making Mentari's guts shrink. Arfan returned to the engine of his car to continue the journey.
They arrived home with each other still, Mentari also did not dare to see her husband at all.
"It's awful!" he thought, Mentari shuddered in horror with Arfan's attitude this time. Arfan may be tired and need time to recuperate after donating his blood to Zaki.
The mentari rushes to clean himself and goes to the kitchen to cook, said a full stomach person will bring clarity in thinking.
Mentari finishes his cooking quickly then calls Arfan to dinner.
"It's not time for dinner." Mentari said softly and very carefully.
"I'll be there!" arfan answered by still staring at the screen of his laptop, he seemed still indifferent to Mentari.
Mentari himself waited for Arfan at the dinner table but her husband did not come. Mentari to sleep with a sitting position and head leaning on the dining table.
Arfan just remembered that Mentari called him to dinner when he had finished his work.
College work and also the work of the grandmother's company, Arfan did routinely check the report sent by Faisal's uncle via email.
Arfan saw his wife asleep at the dinner table, he tried to wake Mentari but the girl did not respond at all. After closing all the food on the dining table, Arfan lifted Mentari's body to be taken to the room.
"I'm sorry baby" said Arfan when he laid Mentari's body on the bed.
Arfan himself lies beside Mentari and sleeps with his wife. Arfan was very sorry to have snapped at Mentari while Mentari still treated him well without fighting back.
The next morning Mentari woke up to shock from his sleep, "Ah I overslept, brother Arfan has not had dinner." Mentari intended to get out of bed but Arfan who still closed his eyes pulled Mentari's body to avoid moving.
"Don't move dear Mentari, let me hug you in a minute!"
"Sister, I haven't cleaned the dinner table last night, you haven't eaten, have you?"
"I don't want to eat anything but you!"
"Don't joke brother, it's morning. We need to be ready for the move."
"Is it wrong to want morning?" Arfan said, keeping his eyes closed. He was happy to tease his wife this early in the morning.
Mentari could not resist Arfan's desire for him. Morning blind they have flooded the sweat by doing morning gymnastics full of love.
"I'm sorry for my attitude last night, baby." Arfan apologized by hugging his wife and kissing Mentari's forehead many times.
Mentari nodded softly, "I know big brother was very tired yesterday, I can call him sister."
"You understand my condition very well, dear."
"Remember ye never judge me concerning Mona nor Marryana before me, for there is none more dear to me in this world than you and grandmother after Allah and my Messenger."
Mentari also apologized because her question had angered Arfan.
After returning from the campus Arfan and Mentari returned to visit Zaki to the hospital, when they come Steven is already in Zaki's ward with Sania and Tomi so they have to wait until they get out of the room because they have to take turns to enter the nursery.
"Om good forgive Stev yes because lately away from the good om." Steven said when he saw Zaki slumped weakly on the bed.
"Om okay, baby, you have a reason to hate me."
"Stev dear, thank you for helping me when I was critical yesterday.
"Stev is happy to help you good."
"Did Stev know why you could help good people?" Sania asked her son.
Steven shook his head, "Mama shouldn't we be helping others?"
"You're right Stev," Zaki confirmed Steven's remarks.
"Stev dear if you are indeed a child om will you regret it?"
Steven looked at Tomi and Sania in turn, "Stev you should know Zaki is Stev's biological father, while papa is your papa for being married to mama." Tomi tried to explain to Steven.
"That means Stev has two papas?"
"Dear, you have two papas."
"Has Papa Tomi taken mom from papa Zaki all this time?" Steven asked with a plain face.
"We have a hard time telling you dear, someday you will definitely understand it but all you need to know now is that both papa Zaki and papa Tomi both love you dear."
"Mama separated from Papa Zaki while you were still in the womb and after you were born mama married to papa Tomi because she sincerely loves you and dear mama. So never hate papa Zaki and papa Tomi because they have their place in your heart."
"Horris... I have two papa!" steven shouted with excitement even though the parents did not know whether Steven really understood or not with their explanation. But at least now Steven no longer hates Zaki.
"Ma means Stev can stay at Zaki's house, Stev wants to keep papa until he recovers.
"May Stev, whenever you want papa and mama will allow it." Tomi supports Steven's coveted interest by Sania.
"Sania... Tom... Will you forgive me?"
"Of course we forgive you, Za, we can't pass our animosity on to posterity, but don't even think about asking Sania back to you because I won't let Sania go anyway." Tomi tries to give Zaki some understanding to get Janhan to cross the line they have agreed to together.
"I promised Tom I could be Stev's father I'd be so happy."
Tomi and her little family out of Zaki's nursery, they meet Arfan in front of the room waiting for his turn to enter.
"Your fans are here?" Sania asked as soon as she saw the two of them.
"Yes Sa, we're coming again."
"Come in... Marryana's not inside either."
Arfan and Mentari enter the treatment room, greeting Zaki and praying for the man's recovery who is helpless.
"Za our team's final game will be soon in the title, I hope the day after tomorrow you're cured and we can graze together."
"So that's why you came here today?"
Arfan just grinned the horse because what Zaki said was true. But it wasn't entirely because of that until he came today.
"Fa... If I don't recover, maybe my position right now will be in danger."
Arfan was shocked to hear Zaki's reply.
"Za think and focus on yourself and just think about the things that are much more important." Arfan advises Zaki.
Mona and Marryana, who had just been shopping together, headed straight to the hospital and entered Zaki's ward without permission.
