Rafiz had just returned from work at midnight, his job was a lot today.
When he returned, the house was empty. Everyone is in their own room.
Zidan, who had been waiting for his father, had been asleep.
Rafiz knocked on the door of his room before opening the door. Rafiz came in and saw Nandira sitting at her dresser wearing makeup on her face. She wears the night cream she used before going to bed.
"Your mother has gone home" said Nandira, stopping her activities and standing up to her husband.
Giving a kiss Welcome to her husband's lips.
Makes Rafiz very happy with his wife's welcome.
"The kids are asleep?" ask Rafiz.
"Yes Mas, they just fell asleep," answered Nandira taking her husband's briefcase and suit.
Rafiz sat down and loosened his tie, opening his shoes.
"Mas want me to make you some coffee?" tawar Nandira's.
"No, I'm very tired. I want to take a shower and rest" Rafiz said.
"I prepared the warm water first, Mas" said Nandira into the bathroom and prepared the bath water for her husband.
Rafiz came in and immediately hugged Nandira from behind, "Take a bath, yes" Rafiz pinta.
Nandira nodded, and they took a bath together. Even though it was near midnight Nandira still fulfilled her husband's wishes.
***
They lay on the bed, but they did not sleep. Nandira rests her head on the chest of Rafiz's field. Rafiz fondly rubbed his wife's hair.
Rafiz who was very sleepy and tired immediately fresh and could not sleep again after getting what he wanted from his wife.
"Mas, do you love me?" tanya Nandira looked up at Rafiz's eyes.
Rafiz kissed Nandira's forehead yet to answer.
"Of course Mas loves you so much, you are everything to Mas" replied Rafiz.
"What if I make a mistake, you'll be mad at me?" tanyakanya.
"depending!, did you make a mistake?" rafiz asked tightened his embrace.
Nandira did not answer, she only looked up again to see her husband, looking at the handsome face of her husband.
Rafiz again landed a kiss but this time he kissed his wife's lips.
"What mistakes did you make ?" rafiz asked who was beginning to be suspicious of the change in his wife's attitude.
Nandira smiled, she wanted to say if she had already moved her beloved animals. But Nandira held him back, not wanting to make her husband wake everyone up in the middle of the night like he is today. Nandira is sure, if Rafiz knows what he has done, knowing if the animals are no longer in his cage, can be sure her husband will make a fuss.
"Tomorrow, we talk, I'm so sleepy. We go to sleep first" said Nandira closing her eyes and looking for a comfortable position in her husband's arms.
"Do you have any mistakes?" asked Rafiz who was still wondering what the meaning of his wife's question was.
Nandira nodded and continued looking for her most comfortable position.
"What are you doing?" tanya Rafiz stopped Nandira's hair swab waiting for a response from his wife.
But it seems like he has to be patient until tomorrow morning, Nandira has gone to dreamland.
There was no answer from Nandira, and Rafiz could feel his wife's breath was in order which meant that Nandira had fallen asleep.
"Fault what he's doing," said Rafiz.
Rafiz who did not find the answer to his question then fell asleep while hugging Nandira.
***
Morning time.
Zidan woke up earlier than usual, and had already made a furore by continuously knocking on the door of his mom and dad's room.
"Mama, Papa open the door," Zidan shouted continuously banging on the door.
The door opens, "What's the matter, honey, what time is it? why are you knocking on your door?" ask Nandira.
Nandira and Rafiz are still asleep and disturbed by Zidan's knock.
Zidan did not answer his mother's question and went straight to his Papa.
"Wake up Papa." said Zidan pulling his Papa's hand.
"What's wrong is that Zidan, Papa is still sleepy" Rafiz said, still closing his eyes.
"Papa's awake. Papa's lion, his lion," said Zidan.
"What's wrong with the lion? ask Rafiz to see Zidan.
Nandira who heard their conversation immediately ran into the bathroom and locked it.
Rafiz tried to sit." What is it Zidan?" tanya Rafiz massaged the nape that felt tense.
"The lion's father has no Pah" replied Zidan.
"What's wrong?" tanya Rafiz immediately walked down to see the lion. Zidan came running behind his Papa, as soon as he arrived at Rafiz's cage had not seen where his beloved animal was.
Rafiz then calls Pak Karyo, the person in full charge of the animals.
Mr. Karyo ran up to them, "What's the matter, sir? he said you called me?" ask Mr. Karyo who is still half-conscious due to being awakened while sleeping.
"That's Mr. anu, anu," Mr. Karyo bingun had to answer what, he was still trying to neutralize his heartbeat.
Mr. Karyo who was asleep was awakened by his coworker, Mr. Karyo who heard Rafiz looking for him immediately ran to the speed as possible.
Not wanting to anger his employer.
From last night Mr. Karyo waited for Rafiz to come home to tell you about the fate of his beloved lion.
"Sir Where is my lion," snapped Rafiz.
Mr. Karyo was very nervous, he didn't know what to say to explain it. Mr. Karyo had thought that he had nothing to explain to his master, because his wife must have told him first.
"The lion Father was transferred by his wife and Mommy Father" replied Mr. Karyo.
"All other wild animals are also moved Pah," said Zidan.
"Where is it moved, where is it moved?" rafiz asked, trying to see all the pets, and sure enough they were not in their cages.
Her beasts had already turned into adorable beasts.
The lion has turned into a cat, the crocodile has turned into a turtle, its piranha fish is already a koi fish.
Rafiz held his head feeling very frustrated, seeing his beloved animals were no longer in their place.
Zidan you go back to your room, and get ready for school.
Papa wants to see your mama, ask her where she got rid of Papa's animals.
Mommy who saw Rafiz scolding Pak Karyo, did not come out of his room.
Rafiz returns to his room, and searches for Nandira.
" Nandira where are you," call Rafiz.
Nandira didn't answer Rafiz's call.
Rafiz, who did not see his wife, was in the room looking for Nandira in the bathroom.
Nandira locked the door from the inside.
"Nandira opens the door, I know you're inside" said Rafiz, knocking on the door.
Nandira ventured to open the door slowly. He could see the questioning look and anger in Rafiz's eyes.
Where are my animals?" rafiz asked straight to the point.
"Where do I know," answered Nandira trying to walk past Rafiz and back lying on his soft bed.
"You don't lie, you know where all the animals are."
"There's in the cage maybe,"
"In his place there is nothing, said Mr. Karyo you get rid of him, is that true?" ask Rafiz.
Rafiz pulled out the blanket Nandira was wearing. "Nandira tell Mas, where did you take him?" rafiz asked with emotion.
"We're just giving them a new place, which is definitely better than them staying here." explains Nandira.
"Then why didn't you let me go the same?"ask Rafiz.
"What if I had permission, would Mas have allowed it?" asked Nandira left back to look at Rafiz.
Rafiz did not answer, because it is true, If they ask permission for sure he will not allow it .
"Where did you take him?" ask Rafiz.
Nandira was silent.
"Listen to Nandira, Mas has been caring for them since childhood, Mas loved them very much, Tell me where you took him?" snapped Rafiz.
"Mas was with them since childhood and Mas loved them very much, So do you mean Mas?. What about Me Mas, I brought the children since I was in my womb, took care of them until they grew up. I myself Mas take care of and feed them with my hands, Mas can certainly know how I feel when I see Zidan injured because of the animal Mas. I don't know, how worried I was when the kids played with the beasts" said Nandira.
Rafiz rubbed his face rough, Nandira was indeed true that the animals were not so important when compared to their children.
"So you love the animals more than our children?" ask Nandira.
"Of course I love our children more" replied Rafiz.
"Are you angry that I moved the animals for the good of our children?" tanya Nandira looked resentfully at Rafiz.
"Mas is not angry," said Rafiz quickly.
"As all this I do for the good of the children, If Mas does not like what I do, Mas can take the animals back. It's not that hard to get those animals back. Let me give in and the kids, we'll just move into my house" Nandira said.
"It's not like that I mean, baby. Sorry, Mas will not bring up the problem of the animals again, as long as you stay here," said Rafiz finally relented when he saw Nandira's eyes began to tear up.
"Sorry yes" Rafiz carried Nandira into his arms.
Nandira just nodded in response to her husband's apology.
