The charm of Ayra Khairunnisa
242 Tease Bram

Two months of Ayra's pregnancy, Bram accompanied the wife through the exhausting early mornings because she had to move back and forth out of the bathroom. He will come to the office during the day when Ayra is better.

When Ayra already felt did not want to return to remove the contents of her stomach. Bram carried his wife and he warmed her up using oil that smelled lemongrass. Ayra's pregnancy this time was completely different. He dislikes the usual wind oil. So the oil with the aroma of lemongrass makes Bram's wife not nauseous which leads to vomiting.

"How is it better?"

"His throat hurts."

Because the last time he tried to get his stomach out. Nothing came out, it made Ayra's throat feel sore.

Bram rubbed his wife's cheeks that looked gaunt this month.

"Why so skinny Ay. You are pregnant again. We're going to the doctor this morning, right?"

"But the schedule is still next Sunday mas."

Bram held Ayra's hand.

"Your body is getting smaller, baby."

"But Ayra is feeling well Mas." Ayra's spoiled reply made Bram sit by her side.

Ayra was lying on Bram's lap. She lay with her husband's thigh as a pillow. She was very happy to see her husband's face in her second pregnancy. Ayra looked at Bram's face from under her chin. Ayra's wiggly fingers also played a thin beard under the chin of the CEO of MIKEL Group. Bram rubbed his wife's long hair gently. One other hand gently rubbed his wife's stomach which was still not too enlarged.

"He can hear Ay?"

"It's not quite there yet."

Pregnancy is a phase that must be passed to present a child in the family. And all parents certainly hope that the child will be a child who is Sholeh and Sholehah. Bram and Ayra. In the fetus Ayra and Bram want their child Sholeh or sholehah. The most important thing before the child is born is to make the heart of his pregnant wife to always be happy.

"Buck...." Call Ayra spoiled.

"What's up, baby? is anyone sick?"

"Ayra wants to be accompanied by Mas today. Can you?"

Bram justifies the position of the wife to be comfortable lying on her lap.

"Mas there are no meetings so today is for the princess. But we'll go to the doctor later."

Ayra rubbed her stomach. He who only ate two mouthfuls of rice just felt hungry when the twins had left for school.

"Mas.... Ayra is hungry but doesn't know what to eat."

"How about a meal... porridge?"

Ayra shook her head.

"Bread?"

His wife shook her head.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Ep.... Don't know but hungry. Two tablespoons have tried to eat the rice."

"We're going to the kitchen, who knows if you like it?"

Ayra thought of something and instantly her lips clenched. He recalled his childhood food, the food that would make Furqon always have to eat it without daring to speak.

"Ayra knows... Ayra wants to eat Getuk."

"What Ay? Ge-tuk's? Yesterday's Cipukan. Now Ge-tuk.". Bram rubbed his wife's stomach gently. He who is not Javanese is quite strange with the name getuk. If in the past he was confused tempe penyet. So this time his wife's childhood food makes the eldest son of Mr. Erlangga must be confused.

Back the CEO spoke to his baby by rubbing Ayra's stomach.

"You should be more Sholeh tomorrow than your two brothers. And smarter, for you are accompanied by Papa. Your two sisters didn't have Papa by Mama's side when they were pregnant. Stay healthy, son."

"Let's buy that getuk. Where's buy?"

"Ayra wants to do it herself."

"Masyaallah. You just threw up?"

"Ayra wants to make her own Getuknya mas." Ayra's Way to Bram. Finally my husband agreed. Then they went into the kitchen. Ask the assistant to find a cassava or cassava.

Getuk is a food made from yam or cassava. Ayra's childhood food. Where Getuk is the breakfast menu for him and the children of Umi Laila in the morning. Ayra who will grate the coconut with Rahmi or Alya. Each of Umi Laila's children after the age of eight years has been given one responsibility. Like Furqon, who had the task of sweeping the mosque with the male students.

While Ayra as a child get the first task of sweeping the house. Every day he would sweep the house. While in the afternoon Alya who got the task of sweeping the house. One month of activity will be rolled by Umi Laila. So that his children are not bored and all his children can feel every job. Furqon. He who does not go to another boarding school, he is used to cooking rice. So when his wife gave birth, it was not a burdensome thing for the eldest son of Umi Laila because he had to cook and wash as long as his wife could not move because of a tear wound due to childbirth.

Ayra had not planted it on her two hearts. Because the children are still playing age. How Umi Laila educates her children is a separate inspiration for her children. So that good things are applied also to the parenting of his grandchildren. Ayra just used her children to take responsibility for their own things. Like every holiday. Qiya and Ammar will wash socks and shoes.

Even if it's just shoes and socks. It fosters a sense of responsibility in Ayra's children. They know how difficult it is to wash socks that are white but dirty because of sports wear. So when at school, they will be careful to wear white clothes. They feel sorry if the maid in their home has to feel the difficulty of whitening dirty clothes due to stains.

Ayra accompanied her children while washing their shoes. She sat together, washing her shoes or her husband's socks. So that a togetherness and happy atmosphere still felt by his son. Without the twins realizing that they are in the form of being a person who learns independently, responsibly and personally who has tolerance to those who work at home as domestic assistants.

So no wonder if the twins will be familiar to all domestic assistants and drivers at home. Because his two children have been taught to respect others without seeing the position, race, tribe. Even Mr. Amir who is a driver in the Ayra residence is a devout Muslim but not the same as Madzhab who is referred by Ayra and Bram in carrying out daily worship, namely Shafi'i madzhab. But when the event sent prayers until Seven days Kyai Rohim, Mr. Amir came to the event.

He felt that Ayra and Bram were people of knowledge and respect for every difference in religion. Ayra and Bram have never vilified their unequal understanding. That is what makes Mr. Amir who does not know Yasin tahlil in understanding the variety. Good relations in humanity that makes Mr. Amir still present at the seven-day event kyai Rohim. It's beautiful to be in society if we don't blame others for being different. It is very peaceful for a country if the people understand that Indonesia is not an Islamic country.

That's what Ayra and Bram have. They bring Islam and nationalism within them so that both things are synergized. And the integrity of a nation can continue. With all the inhabitants in the nation it can be religious or worship quietly.

Mr. Amir brought a big white plastic. He just returned home to take a housekeeper to buy cassava at the market.

Ayra quickly approached Mr. Amir.

"What a big cassava. Buy in which market sir?"

"Heh. I took it at home, Mom. It just so happened that behind the house it was time for the harvest. Lah the mbok I asked he wanted to buy cassava."

"Loh... loh. so this cassava Mr Amir?"

"Yes, Mom."

"Yes, don't do it, sir, in the weigh first. How much will it cost. Poor daddy's wife."

"Walah Ndak not Ma'am. Wong this is my usual share of neighbors and relatives. I've harvested many times but Ndak dare love Mom. No. I guess I don't like cassava."

"I am from a small village sir. So going anywhere will not forget my homeland with all its culture. Including the food."

The new Ayra will take a knife to open the cassava skin. It was quickly picked up by her domestic assistant.

"Don't Ma. Mother just sit down, let the mbok make the Getuknya" said the Mbok.

"Yes, you'll be tired." Bram pulled his wife towards the chair in the cooking room.

Mr. Amir also helped Si Mbok.

"Here Mbok. I helped peel. The maipok readyin coconut young only."

Thank you Mr. Amir."

Ayra smiled looking at her assistants who always helped each other during her work at home. No one is looking for face. Intan who served as a baby sitter first, now Ayra asks to help the mbok. He was on leave because his mother was sick.

When Cassava is ready to be made getuk. Bram just stared at his wife in disbelief. His wife actually made the gituk itself.

"What can't you do yourself, baby? Almost all of you can."

Ayra, who saw no one else in the kitchen, half whispered and moved her body towards Bram who was sitting in front of her.

"There, hike.... "

"Ayra.... Don't let our son be a boy because you're smart to tease me now."
