The 2nd Wedding
Chapter 18

Today's the first day Kinan worked after they got married. This is the first day he leaves Salman and Naila at home. Yesterday a few days he took a leave of absence to take care of Naila after her recovery from the Hospital.

Naila is now looking fresh and healthy. Kinan decided to ask her husband's permission to leave for the office today.

Early in the morning Kinan had prepared breakfast for them. Nasi goreng is the mainstay menu first when married with Bima her first husband.

This food is also a favorite of Salman and Bima almost every morning. Besides practical Kinan does like to spoil the tongue of his husband and son first.

Now Kinan tried the dish, hoping it was easy - hopefully Refan liked it too. After finishing cooking breakfast Kinan told Bik Mar to prepare a table and serve food on it.

Kinan went to the room to bathe Salman before he left for the office. After that Kinan peeked into Refan's room. It seemed like Refan was preparing to leave for the office as well.

Tok..

"Mas can I come in, I want to see Naila" Kinan said from behind the door of the connecting room.

"Yes in" replied Refan.

Refan is flipping - turn the tie. Putting on a tie is the main problem every morning. Usually his wife Renita who always put the tie every morning before he died. Then a month ago Refan was wearing a ready-made tie. It was because he asked his mother to buy him.

This morning, she wanted to wear her favorite tie that Renita bought as her birthday present a few months ago.

Kinan saw the face and forehead of Refan shriveled and busy twirling his tie but never finished.

"Why Mas, it's hard to cook the tie? Here I put" Kinan's pinta.

Refan glanced at Kinan from the reflection of the mirror and he finally gave up. Refan gave his tie to Kinan.

Refan and Kinan are not too far away so Refan does not need to duck to pair a tie. It was because indeed Kinan's body was taller than Renita's.

In the past every Renita wanted to pair a tie for Refan, Renita would have to climb onto a small bench made of wood that is now stored under the bed.

Kinan put the tie around Refan's neck seriously while the originally awkward Refan couldn't take his eyes off Kinan's face.

Just this time he noticed Kinan's face up close. His face is smooth even though his skin is not as white as Renita, his nose is sharp, his lips are small and his eyebrows are thick and neatly arranged without any shaving marks.

Unlike Renita who always shaves her eyebrows after that every time she goes, Renita will definitely paint her eyebrows.

Refan watched Kinan's busy face put a tie around his neck. Seriously, though, Kinan glanced at Refan's face.

For a moment Refan had already managed to examine in detail the shape of Kinan's face and record it in his memory.

"It's been neat, Mas. It's done" Kinan said with a smile.

Kinan immediately turned towards Naila's box and lifted Naila up. He immediately carried Naila while giving her a bottle of milk.

"It's over, huh? Breakfast yuk" take Kinan.

"Yes first, I want to take some of my stuff for a while" replied Refan who was still busy overcoming his nervousness because their interaction was too close.

Kinan exited the room from the connecting door and after that exited his room towards the dining table. There already sat Salman neatly, fragrant and handsome because he had just finished bathing.

"This morning my son ate his own bribe. Mama again carried the baby's sister" Kinan said to his son.

"Okay Mama's. The baby sister wants to eat also, here let the sister bribe" said Salman.

"The baby's sister can't eat, baby.. His sister was too small, he could only drink milk from a dodot" Kinan replied.

"That's it Ma..? Then you eat yourself, yes deek" replied Salman.

"Pintaaar's son" praised Kinan.

Refan noticed the way Kinan took care of his son and also the son of Refan who was now also Kinan's son. No face forced or tired. With a sincere, patient and affectionate smile Kinan nurtured the two.

There is no difference between a biological child and a stepchild. Refan should be grateful for that.

Refan sat right in front of Kinan. Kinan left Naila to Bik Nah and she started to prepare Refan breakfast. Kinan took the fried rice to Refan's plate.

"Such is it?" ask Kinan.

"That's enough" replied Refan.

"Wear eggs?" tanya Kinan.

"Yes" replied Refan.

Kinan serves full fried rice on a plate Refan does not forget also a cup of coffee made by Kinan. Kinan had already asked Bik Mar what the morning Refan habit was.

According to information from Bik Mar, about Refan food is not fussy. Whatever food is served he will mean just every morning Refan will definitely ask for hot coffee provided.

Kinan has also learned the dose of Refan coffee from Bik Mar. This morning he prepared everything. May Refan like, Hope Kinan.

They began to enjoy the food in front of them.

"Bik nasi gorengnya kok different from usual yes. Who's making it?" ask Refan on Bik Mar.

Before replying Bik Mar glanced at Kinan first.

"Den's baby wears a new recipe. Why isn't Den so good?" ask Bik Mar.

"Son, this is better than the usual. Tomorrow - tomorrow for something like this only Bik" Refan's message.

"Good Den" Bik Mar replied smilingly as he glanced at Kinan but Kinan was still busy eating while watching Salman eat.

"Mas.today I started at the office. My cut is done" said Kinan.

"Yes, you just work. Let Naila and Salman be taken care of by Bik Nah and Bik Mar at home" Refan replied.

"Yes thanks" replied Kinan.

"Ngapain thanks? before we got married you were already working and I had no right to forbid you. Part of your work in the office is indeed your responsibility so it must be done. I don't care if Naila stays. He was like that before too" replied Refan coldly.

Kinan fell silent, confused as to what else to say. What does the word Refan mean? Is there or is there no Kinan in this house no problem for him and his daughter? inner Kinan.

Refan finished eating his breakfast then he drank the available coffee.

Sruuup..

"I think Bik Mar last night while sleeping was a good dream huh... All Bibik dishes this morning taste better than usual" Refan said as he stood up to leave the dining table.

Bik Mar looked at Kinan's face which seemed to be daydreaming and thinking of something.
