The Desired Angel of Heaven
Chapter 260 S2 (A Day With The Twins)

That morning Khaira had just finished bathing the twins who had now been dressed up by Mila and Nuri. It was a little late at noon to the cottage. Teaching hours start at 8. There's still half an hour to get home.

“Mbak Ais, later tonight we invited a new neighbor to the house on the side,” bu Mila took a beautiful-looking Dew with a tiny hijab that covered her head.

Khaira looked at Mila for a moment. He smiled, within just two months the mansion beside him had been completed. He was sure the owner was no ordinary person. Seen from the outside alone already looks splendor, especially from the inside.

He was surprised because until now he had never met the owner of another house except Danu. When viewed from his home, the fence is only limited to the chest. What makes Khaira inexhaustible think the area directly adjacent to his home made a very complete children's playground.

Unwilling to dissolve into a mind that had nothing to do with him, Khaira immediately rushed to make breakfast for the twins.

“Bu, if I come home from the cottage pas Zuhur and have not had time to make food for the twins, Ibu masakin vegetables clear yes ..”

“Good Ma'am,” bu Mila nods her head quickly.

He immediately rushed to get the twins breakfast.  Dew that was impatient to play outside, especially he saw the side house has a small swing for children his age.

“Mbah, dede want to play situ ... “ his tiny fingers pointed sideways.

Mila looked at Khaira who frowned while shaking her head. He did not know the next door neighbor, what if they are not friendly ....

“Main at home only yes dear ... or to the cottage where umi .... “ Khaira offers Dew to play at home ustadzah Fatimah.

“Ndak .... “ Dew pouting because his desire is not obeyed the mother.

“Bu, we have not known the hostess. I don't want the presence of children to bother them,” Khaira said slowly to Mila. He did not want the new neighbors disturbed by the twins, let alone the super active Dew want to know everything new first he saw.

“Good Ma'am,” Mila replied with understanding.

Khaira smiled and immediately returned to the room to change into a batik uniform to teach santri at ponpes al-Ijtihad.

From the second floor of his study Ivan's gaze was directed downwards. He stayed at his new home last night. He had asked Danu to bring his parents to live with him for at least three months before moving to his old house in Serpong. They were both in their new home for two days.

Seeing Danu's mother reminded Ivan of Marisa's late mother. A kind woman who loves herself very much without distinguishing treatment like her other grandchildren. Ivan asks Danu not to tell his plans to Danu's parents. Let's just say they're staying a while.

Danu still carried both of his parents walking around Ivan's stately home which he recognized as their office. Actually Danu was annoyed with Ivan, because he had to lie to many parties over the ownership of the house. But how else, the key to the house in Gading Serpong is in his hands. So he had to run the charade somehow until when all this ended.

When he reached the side of the house directly adjacent to Khaira's house, Danu saw the twins were walking towards the gate of his house.

“Assalamu’alaikum Ustadzah .. “ quickly Danu greet Khaira.

“Wa’alaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,” Khaira replied while commenting on a smile.

He stopped his steps and approached Danu and his two men who were standing right in front of the guardrail of their house. Khaira immediately nodded her head politely looking at the parobaya couple standing beside Danu.

“This is my parents from Semarang Ustadzah .... “ Danu thumbs up on her parents.

“Alhamdulillah yes, Danu's parents are still fresh and looking healthy,” Khaira felt moved while extending her hand to Danu's mother, while at Danu's father she cupped both hands while nodding her head.

All of this did not go unnoticed by Ivan. He breathed a heavy sigh, his chest felt tight to hold the longing for the wife who had now been released from the embrace. His patience was really tested. In his long prostration he never let go of praying for Khaira and her children to get back together soon.

“Why wife and child where is Mas? I have never met them?”  Khaira tries to get along in front of Danu's parents.

As a good neighbor he should be friendly, especially there are two parents who he should respect, and Khaira was happy because of that.

“I am still single Ustadzah,” quickly Danu replied.

“Please Ndok, sought mate masmu iki ...” Ms. Warti stared fixedly at Khaira.

Danu gasped at her mother's request to Khaira. They met this morning, but both of them got along.

Their conversation faintly reached Ivan's ears. He did not turn his gaze to Khaira who seemed enthusiastic talking to Ms. Warti. A happy smile rose at the corner of his lips. He felt that Ms. Harti would make things easier.  He hopes that his plans and wishes will be realized soon.

“Itut Bunda ... “ the voice of the Dew ken stops the conversation that occurs.

She ran away leaving Mila who was walking quickly behind her.

“Don't Dede later fall, dirty again,” Mila arrived with a small backpack containing toys and milk bottles belonging to Dewun.

“That's Mother,” Dawn also now arrived in front of them with Nuri who swiftly followed him.

“Aduh ... cah ayu and cah good ... “ bu Warti stunned to see the twins who are now starting to tug at the end of their mother's batik shirt.

Ivan's feelings warmed up seeing the three who were now in his monitor. He kept watching everything that was happening in front of him. Khaira's charm never faded in his eyes even his tenderness and all his behavior on the twins made Ivan increasingly unable to stay away.

“Yes Allah make it easy for us to unite immediately in the bond of Your sunna ... “ cf. Ivan.

“Salim gih!” Khaira crouched down in front of the twins while giving a thumbs up to Ms. Warti and Mr. Marno who looked at the two boys with admiration.

“When Le, we have a grandson koyo ngene?” marno turned his gaze to Danu who was now smiling uncomfortably.

“Sabar Sir, there will be a time,” Danu replied with a smile immediately froth as his eyes looked up looking at the figure standing upright behind the glass window curtain.

“Come here salim same Mbah Kakung and Mbah Putri .... “ Bu Warti crouched down in front of the twins.

The Dew and Dawn immediately approached the two parobayas who looked at them lovingly.

“Mbah Dearest princess yes .... “ Khaira marks the Dew while putting an index finger on her cheek.

“Pinternya cah Ayu iki .. “ bu Warti feel happy when Dew kissed her cheek.

A warm conversation was taking place between them. Not feeling the sound of the bell stopped the atmosphere full of familiarity.

“Pending to leave first yes .... “ Khaira starts kissing the twins alternately.

“Ndok, cah Ayu and cah Nice play at home only yes,” bu Warti look at Khaira expectantly, “Mother and Mr lonely at home.”

Khaira thought for a moment. He wanted to refuse because he was worried about the super active twins. But he did not want to disappoint them both.

“Good Mom,” Khaira nodded later, “May the twins not trouble Mom and Dad. Excuse me, assalamu’alaikum .... “

“Wa’alaikumussalam warahmatullah,” all answer compact.

Nuri and Mila are overwhelmed once Dawn and Dew enter Ivan's yard. Both are eager to try the toys available in the yard that are deliberately laid out for the playground of the child.

“The baby boy is very pretty and nice. Mom is cool if you get a wife like her,” bu Warti began to lecture Danu who was grinning to hear his words.

“Bojone kerjo nengdi Le?” now it's Marno's turn to ask Danu.

Danu was silent not daring to answer. Now the three of them went back into the house. Some men are still cleaning up the house that will be held tonight for the sake of moving house.

Nuri and Mila are uncomfortable to see activities in the house involving several parobaya women who are deliberately coordinated by Danu from the village where both parents live so far to help prepare all the needs for the sake of smoothness thanksgiving event.

“Fajar and Dew let me take care of Bu,” Danu offers to see Nuri and Mila who are agitated because they want to help workers who seem busy and tares.

Though Danu has ordered catering from the city to entertain guests who will be invited later tonight. But basically parents, they want to cook for themselves according to taste. Eventually Danu gave up. Some of the menu he had ordered for 5 pm, while the rest were Barti and her roommates who would cook themselves.

Now in a large room, Dew and Dawn are playing.  Danu deliberately brought the two, because Ivan had prepared a special room if the twins would come to his house.

“Salim first here .... “ Ivan who sat on the long sofa waved the two over to get closer.

Holding each toy, the two walked closer to Ivan and Danu, who were sitting and watching their behavior.

Dew immediately grabbed Ivan's hand and kissed him as well as Dawn. Both of them felt happy when entering the playroom with all kinds of toys spoiling their eyes.

“Tell me first dong same Dad .... “ Ivan said happily to see the twins who seemed enthusiastic about everything.

“Daddy .... “ Danu stared at Ivan with a frown.

“Ya dong,” Ivan smiled looking at the confused Danu, “Will you take my position?”

“He he he .. sorry Boss,” Danu nodded his head.

“Five kacih Bayah .... “ Dew while laughing grabs Ivan's hand.

A feeling of happiness rose in Ivan's heart. He hugged the Dew tightly. Dawn looked at the two in confusion. The smell of baby smells Ivan's smell. He breathed it with all his feelings.

“Sini Mas, same father .... “ Ivan reached out to the Dawn that finally approached him.

Ivan embraced the two with all his heart. I could not feel her tears flowing down her cheeks. A feeling of happiness immediately enveloped his heart because the twins were now in arms. He kissed the two in turn.

“Geyi dad .... “ Dew pushes Ivan's face filled with whiskers and beard.

Ivan laughed at the words of the Dew. He stroked the head of his little daughter with a haru feeling. Today was the most beautiful day he had felt for many years apart from Khaira. Both of his baby became a solace medicine when the queen could not yet embrace it.

The knock on the door made Ivan and Danu look.

“Tuan Danu, mas Dawn and dede Dewun it is time for lunch... “ Mila's voice sounded slowly from outside the room.

“What do the twins give back to their nanny Boss?” Danu looked at Ivan in confusion, “This Kasian is already his second meal.”

“Do not,” Ivan replied quickly, “Bring here the food.”

“Meanour Boss?”

Ivan's eyes were staring at Danu. Danu quickly got up from the chair and walked slowly to open the door.

“Let me Bu .... “ Danu reached out grabbing the plate in Mila's hand.

“No need Sir. Let the twins be with me,” Mila is not happy with the man she just met.

“Nothing, Mom. Let them get used to me,” Danu grabbed the plate and water from Mila's hand, “Mother can go back to back.”

“But Mr .... “ Mila still standing sculpting.

He turned his head to look into the room. Seemed Dawn was busy driving a mini car, while Dew sat sweetly facing a kitchen set toy while chattering cheerfully.

“I can handle it,” Danu said confidently.

“Good sir,” with a sense of relief Mila back to the back to help the middle-aged women who were there.

Ivan grabs the plate in Danu's hand and approaches the twins. He is now sitting next to the Dew which is still engrossed with his cooking tools.

“Come princess dad, eat first .... “ Ivan held out a spoon that had contained rice.

“Read Dad's first prayer .... “ Dawn is now standing next to Danu.

“Smart boy,” Ivan stroked the head of Dawn and started bribing him.

Ivan now feels the joy of being a full-fledged parent. Patently, he fed the twins eating until the rice that was exhausted was not left.

“Dede and mas want to add more?” Ivan looked at the two.

The two immediately shook their heads quickly, and continued their play. Ivan held out an empty plate to Danu.

Back knock on the room door sounded.

“Le, the tea was invited to eat first,” the sound of Ms. Warti surprised the two.

Danu was uncomfortable with Ivan hearing his mother's words. But how else, he already introduced Ivan as a co-worker when last night Ivan arrived at the house they now live in to stay the night.

“Bos .... “ Danu scratched her non-itchy head.

“You just eat, I will accompany the twins,” Ivan said casually, “Please bring warm coffee here.”

“Good Boss,” Danu got up from the sofa chair while carrying plates and glasses that were empty.

Ivan did not get tired of accompanying the twins playing. There was no happiness like he felt right now. He was grateful that his prayers were beginning to be answered. And he will not be tired of praying and grounding efforts to unite families who until now are still divided.
