Oh ... Other Flowers CEO
Finally Home

CEO 191

Rara, knowing that Asia had returned, was about to get out of her seat, but it was difficult because Aska had fallen asleep on her lap. Lara was so happy that she wanted to hug the child immediately. Rara could only wait for the askia to enter her gaze sparkling to look at Ms. Hetty who was inviting Azkia to enter.

"Assalamualaikum," the boy said as he entered the house.

"Waalaikumsalam" said Bu Heti and Rara simultaneously.

"Congratulations to your mother, son." Mrs Heti asked Azkia to act courteously to her mother.

When Azkia thrust her hand at Rara, the woman who had been waiting for her son's return immediately embraced Azkia. Azkia's hand that had been stuck with Rara's hand was pulled and immediately in the arms of the mother.

Azkia who stood bowing could not do anything, she followed the pull of her mother's hand. Although it's still awkward. For about two years he did not meet his mother, as if the stranger returned to indulge or behave as usual.

Rara cried as much as she could, repeatedly slammed Azkia's forehead, cheeks, then rubbed her head, the boy's hair that could only be silent. Confused what to react.

"Mother ..." Azka awakens as she feels a shock from her mother's unstable body sitting down.

"Azka, this is Azkia already home," said Rara turned to her son who had just woken up.

Azka just blinked her eyes, she just reacted like a child, who did not understand the affairs of adults.

Feeling moved to see Rara finally able to hug her son who had been missed so far. Bu Heti gave Rara a glass of drink of relief.

Azkia who was about to move was detained by Rara. The bag he carried was released by Rara and the skullcap to make Azkia more free.

Rara put Asia sitting right next to her hand not to be separated from hugging her son.

Azka sat beside him cross-legged. Rara forgets Azka's change which seems to appear envy when Rara returns to look for Azkia. Rara was focused with joy and her should, she should both hug Azka who was on her left side. But that is how hard it is to be fair. 

Problems will come and go, and happy too. Being a parent is not easy, being required to be fair by his child even though parents are as strong as possible to be fair as they can.

"Have you eaten, son?" ask Rara to Azkia.

The child nodded, looking like a doubt or perhaps still awkward.

"Don't lie, if you're hungry, don't you eat yet? Usually after school, you eat. The last meal was at 11:00 after school. It is now four o'clock" Ms. Heti warned Azkia.

How to understand with Azkia's lying answer, well she might indeed still be awkward to be next to her biological mother.

Rara gave her the food she had bought while she was going there. Then opened the packaging so that Azkia would touch it.

Ms. Hetty immediately took the water in a container for Azkia to wash her hands. So Azkia would touch the food.

Foods that are often liked by many children. It's a fried chicken crispy with a burger. So it's up to Azkia to eat whichever one wants her fried chicken or burger. Rara also did not buy only two for her children, but she bought some, the rest to be stored in the fruit house only.

Azkia timidly tried the food that was in front of her, bit by bit.

"Want to eat again, son?" ask Rara to Azka.

However, Azka shook her head.

Then Rara offered her the burger. Azka kept shaking.

"Sit on the sidekick, accompany Azkia to eat. You can eat again too. Let's just exclaim." Rara tried to persuade Azka, so that Azkia also began to get used to mixing with her family.

Azka finally complied, however hard she still wanted to have friends. That's how it is a child, his emotions are unstable.

A car enters the yard of Rara's house, she is an ancient who just came home from the office. No one welcomed him, be it his wife or son. Did Rara still get angry? The ancients did not know Rara was going to pick Azkia up.

"Assynnya!" Ancient Exclaims when entering the house.

Bu Purwanti from behind welcomed her son who came home from work, with warm water offered.

Az-Zahro was crying after lunch, probably because he was sleepy. Usually the baby cries That if he is not hungry, he wants to sleep.

Bu Purwanti recounts that Rara was picking up Azkia. Ancient people are interested in hearing the story. Because of what he heard lately, his wife has not discussed anymore about Azkia or visited the house that he said the family often helped Azkia.

While sitting in the living room, Purba loosened her tie and took off her shoes. While hearing the information given by Bu Purwanti. Including the arrival of Lena, who told the situation Gandi and Azkia did not come back to the village. So from that Rara was so eager to pick up Azkia. Because imagining the child must be alone in the city of Jakarta.

"Thank God then. I want to take a shower, Mom, hopefully Rara will come home soon" said Purba.

"Yes, Son. Maybe your wife will be home soon. You see already, the schedule time Azka go home school go "

Purba nodded her towards her room. There Bu Sugeti still put the grandson to sleep.

Kee!

Ancient opens the door. Made Bu Sugeti look over.

"Eh, Old boy is home. I'm sorry, just a minute, Zahro's asleep," said the awkward Bu Sugeti, his daughter-in-law in the room, surely he needs some privacy.

Bu Sugeti usually put Zahro to sleep in his room, but the baby did not fall asleep either. Maybe because in Bu Sugeti's room there is no AC, Zahra feels hot. Moreover, Bu Sugeti's room is located near the middle room, there is only a small window ventilation facing the back garden.

Although in the room Rara uses AC, but the temperature is adjusted which is important not too hot in the room.

"Yes, Mom. Take it easy," read Purba replied softly anyway. Fear of waking the baby.

Rara does not want her baby to sleep in a box or have her own room. Rara wanted to make the most of the time when she could really hug her children. Because maybe later in adulthood that moment will not be repeated again.

Ms. Hetty was picking up some Azkia clothes, then putting them in a crackle bag. Because there are no clothes bags. Azkia's school bag was used for her books.

Grateful today Azkia wanted to be persuaded to come with Rara. Although the process of persuasion was very difficult. Azkia who could not be spoken to smoothly. Even had refused to come, he wanted to be right with Bu Heti alone, just for reasons of embarrassment, unusual, fear of the new father. There were many reasons Azkia had thrown out and it was enough to hurt Rara.

However, Rara understood the Azkia reaction. The innocent feeling of what it is, is not to blame.

Azkia kept her head down, which was when Rara whispered to Azka to persuade her twin sister to come along. Although Azka sometimes had envy for Azkia, she was actually affectionate towards her brother. Not envy because of his true nature. Only that was reasonableness because it felt all focused on Azkia.

After Azkia persuades and says she is no friend at home, Azkia begins to melt, knowing that two more days will be their sister's aqiqah. Azkia became curious to see her sister who must be cute adorable because she is still a baby.

Finally Askia nodded despite not being so firm, Rara and Bu Hetty did not delay any more time, although Azkia's nod was not so steady, it was enough as a sign of Azkia's willingness to come along.

Maybe later when he reached home, Azkia could feel how happy to gather with family.

"Okay, Mrs Hetti, I am very grateful. I don't know what kind of kindness Bu Hetti has to repay. Anyway, my gratitude was very deep from the heart, I can no longer say - words to show how much I felt helped by Bu Heti's kindness."

Rara said goodbye to Bu Heti before returning home, saying a few words to represent her gratitude.

Ms. Heti greeted with condolence as well, an exaggerated thank you from Rara. Because he's really sincere. When she first met Azkia, she felt moved to be closer to the boy.

"Don't forget that there is time to play here, son," said Ms. Hetty after responding to two words from Rara.

Azkia just nodded not forgetting she also kissed the back of the baby's hand and hugged him for the last time.

However, there is something Bu Hetty forgot. Azkia's savings money has not been taken. While Bu Heti was busy opening a box, Rara immediately put some money into the envelope.

Rara had indeed prepared the money, just in case something happened on the road. Because it was only spare money if he came out, did not know would meet an incident like this with Bu Heti.

"This is the money you helped me with" Ms. Hetty said, handing over the money to Azkia.

However, Rara forbade him and restrained Bu Heti's hand.

Ms. Hetty was surprised that Rara held her hand to give the envelope to Azkia. Ms. Hetty felt bad.

Seriate...
