The End of Hope
Epsu 17. Let Him Be with Me

Ares leaves Naya and her son and orders food for Yoni and himself.

Yoni seemed busy playing in Naya's lap, as the shady, black-eyed man thrust a plate of food at his son who was still chattering at Naya.

"Eat," he said flatly, then sat in a chair not far from Naya.

Maybe because of the influence of the little girl, until Naya did not pay attention to the other customers who came. He was busy watching Yoni eat, joking. Some of his colleagues who worked looked at Naya with strange looks, but Naya did not care about it.

"Sir, did Yoni want to be taken to work, now?" ask Naya to Ares. The man finished his lunch and nodded.

'Let her be with me, this time I want to be with her'

"Let Yoni be with me, shall he?" naya asked, now the woman dared to look at Ares' face right in the eyeball.

"Are you not busy?" ares said briefly as usual.

"Busy no, relaxing no. But I want to be with Yoni. What time will I be picked up?"

"Depends on my job."

"All right, it's up to you. I'll take care of her" Naya said as she rubbed Yoni's hair.

"Yoni, just here with Aunt Naya, would you? Later we play the doll again," asked Naya and the little boy smiled as he nodded.

For Yoni, being able to play with someone other than his grandmother and papa was fun, it was rarely an opportunity like this. The little boy also felt that Naya was the only person outside of his family, who loved him.

As a child who does not understand about himself, he does not know that others can not be close to him because of his phobia.

After Ares leaves, Naya takes Yoni to the kitchen to accompany him to work. The boy was very happy to join Naya who was doing activities outside her usual habits. It was like discovering a new world with Naya.

Evening was approaching and Naya's work time was over. However, Ares did not appear, until Yoni fell asleep in his arms. Now he is more free to take care of Yoni because he no longer has to work.

Naya is tired of holding Yoni's body, which is quite heavy. Ares is not coming. He put Yoni to sleep in the mosque where he used to pray, while working. This opportunity he used to lay his body beside Yoni.

The crane! Naya's phone rang. Naya lifted him up as soon as she was about to close her eyes. The phone call, from an unknown number, made him doubtful. In the end, the call was received as well.

"Hello. Who'sis this?" ask Naya.

"Mrs?" said the voice across the phone, "I'm Yoni's papa. You where?" The tone of the voice sounded restless, considering that it was already late afternoon.

"I'm in the mosque, sir" Naya said quickly. He was also a little surprised, from where Ares could tell his mobile number.

"Okay, I'm going there. "The phone closed just like that made Naya push her shoulders.

Naya immediately cleared her face, tidied up her hijab and clothes slowly. He then grabbed Yoni's body to be taken outside the mosque. But instead Yoni woke up agitated and frightened, his body hot and shivering. From the mulitnya come out vague sentences such as muttering and rags.

"Yoni, what's wrong with you, baby...?!" tanya Naya was also agitated. He hugged Yoni's body tightly and wiggled like a gentle swinging motion.

Naya closed her eyes, took a deep breath and slowly breathed out. He tried to calm himself before calming others.

After that Naya read some verses in the Qur'an such as the verse of the chair, and other verses commonly used for meruqyah. Quietly and smoothly he read it over and over again.

"Quiet, baby. Tate is here. Don't be afraid. Aunty will take care of you." said Naya as she continued to rub Yoni's body and head on the sidelines of her verses.

"Yoni!" ares said nervously. He saw Naya who was tightly hugging the body of his son. Cold sweat seemed to flood Yoni's forehead.

"Why did you bring him here? This is a foreign place for Yoni!" ares said as he knelt closer to Naya who was sitting on the carpet.

"Sorry, I don't think it's a problem, because Yoni was sleeping ...."

"Ah, I am also sometimes surprised, just like you. Though he slept, but still he relapsed when he woke up."

"Son, what."

"Eh, Sir. Yoni had calmed down, now did not tremble anymore. Thank goodness."

"What do you love him? I usually take it to the doctor, if it comes back like this."

Naya is stunned to hear Ares say, Yoni must be taken to the doctor every time relapse, really troublesome.

Ares touched Yoni's forehead. Instantly Naya keeps Yoni's body away from her, out of nervousness.

"Yoni, are you awake?" ares said as soon as he realized Yoni opened his eyes, and looked around at the space that was unfamiliar to him.

"Yoni, you're okay, right? Comeing! Auntie," said Naya as she stood holding Yoni in her arms, the little boy hugged Lehar Naya possessively.

'Well, he didn't do anything, but Yoni could calm down. What spell is he wearing?'

"Sir, want to go home now?" naya and Ares asked.

"I want to pick you up first, it's too late. I'm sure you'll be waiting at school."

"Oh," answered Naya, as she followed Ares to her car. He was about to sit Yoni in the car seat when the little boy cried. He did not want to take it off from Naya.

"Yoni, the tantenya wants to go home. You don't get spoiled" Ares said a little loudly. The child was getting stronger, making his crying sound.

"Don't want to, Yoni wants to be just like aunty. There was no grandmother at home. Bosen," Yoni said on the sidelines of his cry.

"Eh, good boy .. can not be whiny, dong nurut same Papa. Tomorrow we play again. Okay?" naya said soothingly, she tried to remove Yoni's hand from her neck.

"Tomorrow yes. Promise" said Yoni still sobbing small.

"Yes, promise," said Naya hooking her pinky on Yoni's little finger.

"Want me to drop off?" ares said politely. He knew Naya wanted to go home too.

"No, Sir. Thank you" said Naya immediately passed from Ares' car just like that. Ares was used to being rejected like this by Naya, but still she laughed. He runs his car, leaving the restaurant and Naya. He must immediately pick up Raya.

Naya deliberately rejects the kindness of Ares who offers her a ride. He did not want to go back to misunderstanding with Rudian, if Ares drove him home.

As usual, Naya finally came home with a ride on her subscription online ojek. When he reached the gate of the compound, he saw a shadow of his mother-in-law, who was on a motorcycle with a woman, whom he knew a few weeks ago, the woman was Yola.

Deg. Naya's heart was violently stirred.

'Where are the two of them, is it from my house, isn't it, Mother and Yola, what are they both for?'

That afternoon, Naya did come home very late, even though she had to make dinner. As Naya got off the motorcycle, she saw her husband standing in front of the house. He was like a man who was taking his guests away.

"Why are you still doing? Waiting for someone, or just dropping off Mom with Yola? They're on our bikes, right?" Naya said as she stepped closer to him, after he paid the fare on the taxi that delivered her.

'How Naya can tell'

"Will Kanda be honest now or lie again, about Kaynda's relationship with Yola?"

The couple was still at the door, even the taxi driver had just left, but they had started a fight there.
