Naya smiled gently as she looked inside the little man in front of her. His gaze met with a pair of black eyeballs that were also staring at him unblinkingly. Awaiting answer.
Well, this little boy knows where the vocabulary of 'heart empress' comes from'? Naya muttered softly.
"Really, right?" His eyes were still demanding answers.
"Little sister, what's the name? Mhm.. cute very." Nay pinched the small cheek of the child in front of him to distract.
"Azmi Abdurrahman bin Haji Abdul Hakim. A cute? Obviously it's cute, Azmiii .." she lifted up her chest.
"Ashh ... Add cute. Can you please, no?" Naya whispered as she moved her right cheek.
"No! That one, brother, share it!"
Eh?
Naya turned her face away. On his right side, Kei was staring at Naya accompanied by his naughty wink.
Now his gaze was straight, right in the black bead of Naya's eyes.
Naya rolled her eyeballs. Apaan, anyway. We're not that close yet, Fulgoso!
"Well, ah. Let's eat first. My brother is hungry ... The conversation continues later after eating, okay? Who wants to lead the do'a?" Kei directed his gaze at the little children before him in turn.
"Asmiii!!" The other six pointed at the little boy sitting between Kei and Naya.
"Awlime?" Azmi pointed at her own chest.
Naya smiled amusedly at the style of the child as she pointed at his chest.
"Can. But there are a few conditions" he said Azmi later.
"Condition? What's he?" Grandma Sharifah frowned.
"So cute brother, Azmi is not familiar yet. Get to know first ..." Azmi raises her eyebrows. Funny and adorable.
Naya smiled as she shook her head to look at Azmi's behavior.
"Okay, my name is ...".
"No ... No ... No ...! It's not best if I'm capable, it should be Brother Kei, it's ..."
Azmi takes her eyes off Naya who does not continue her words.
Now he's bending his head to look at Kei.
The Grandmother of Sharifah who sat among the other children smiled. At first glance he pointed his thumb at Azmi who also happened to be glancing at him.
The deg!
Naya squinted her eyes. His views point to Nek Sya and Azmi. Naya looked at the two in turn.
Nek Sya and Azmi, why?
"Mhc .. Ehemc ... Okay ... Okay, Bang Kei is capable now, yes ... Her beautiful and beautiful sister is named Kanaya Khaurunnisa. All sisters can call, 'Sister Nay or Sister Naya".
"Sir Nay, who's in?"
Another child asked while tilting his head.
Naya turned her eyes back. Kei, who had often stolen a glance at her, smiled withheld.
"Bang Kei's words were in Surau, brother Nay nih suri Abang Kei's heart. Iye, ke?" Azmi now looked at Kei and Naya alternately.
Kei scratched his non-itchy head.
Ouch ... Little boy, this ..!! Not good at keeping secrets!
"Suri his heart Brother Kei?"
"Yes to, Brother Nay?"
"Why does Nay want Bang Kei the ugly one, huh? No handsome, not even ... "
Everyone is commenting.
Grandma Sharifah laughed out loud by holding her stomach. Even several times he rubbed the corner of his watery eyes.
While Naya laughed as her hands lifted shut her mouth.
Kei fell silent. The gaze of his eagle sharply hit the seven children in turn.
Six children who were close to Grandma Sharifah immediately shriveled. They simultaneously hid themselves behind the body of the old woman.
Azmi, who was sitting next to Naya, sucked her body into Naya's lap.
Naya immediately hugged the little boy tightly while gently stroking his head.
Apaan, the hell ... The little boy too. Why should the heart be taken?!
Now Naya is staring hard at Kei. The black ball of his eyes did not blink, straight splitting Kei's black bead.
Naya who was unprepared, gasped. Quickly he tilted his face, trying to avoid Kei's touch.
It worked! Kei's outstretched left hand only touched the air.
But Naya had no time to breathe a sigh of relief, Kei's right hand moved faster and managed to steal a small pinch on her white cheek.
Naya grunted in annoyance. He again opened his eyes.
Damn, even more beautiful in Kei's eyes!
Until ...
"Assynolajet. Very crowded. What's up, huh?"
...***...
Naya twisted the tip of her hijab. Sometimes he bites his lower lip. Pissed off? Still am! Awkwardly? Especially!!
How not to be upset and awkward. Naya knows for sure that Mama and her father-in-law witnessed how Kei behaved while teasing her a few minutes ago.
Naya could see the look of shock in the eyes of Mrs Sri Latifah when she saw Kei's presence there.
For a moment Naya had caught the longing glow in the eyes of the middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful and graceful. But only for a moment, the luminar dimmed, changing with an indecipherable dark highlight.
Unfortunately, Kei acted like nothing had happened. The missing child, the second son of Tan Sri Abdul Hamid was even relaxed enjoying his dinner which was delayed by the drama Azmi and his friends.
Kei was like a person who for a few days did not meet rice, he ate so voraciously. Several times the rice from the big hull moved to his plate.
Even Kei was impressed by not caring at all about the arrival of Tan Sri Abdul Hamid and Puan Sri Latifah.
Grandma Syarifah who witnessed this sighed a lot. This is their first meeting back after nearly five years of evading each other.
When he found out that his parents were returning home in Seremban, Kei deliberately looked for reasons so that he did not come home and meet with them.
Tan Sri and Puan Sri. When they find out that Kei is seeing his grandmother, they avoid it as much as possible, by not going back to Seremban so as not to meet Kei.
Naya, who felt trapped in a stiff atmosphere, rattled between the child and the old man, found it difficult to swallow her rice. Even a sip of water stuck in his throat. He feels so wrong now.
Fortunately, the stiffness that Naya felt did not last long. He was saved by the chanting of the prayer of Isya from the surau next to the house.
Rushing Naya cleaned up their used dinner equipment. Azmi and her friends had already rushed out of the house just after they finished eating.
Sharifah's grandmother helped Naya lift the dirty dishes, elbowing Naya's delicate arms.
Naya who was surprised turned her head.
"Nay don't worry, let them settle the matter themselves. Grandma also wants to see, people who have been used to meeting problems in their company, then can find solutions, can also not solve problems in their own home?"
Naya tried to smile and nodded in silence. But still the restless waves rolled him in agitation and gulana.
Equalling this family since childhood, a little bit makes Naya understand that even though they are bound in strong love, but ego and self-esteem are more of a master.
Naya feels doubt if she can make Kei 'back' to her family? Reattached the thread that had broken.
Is the hope Nek Sya has raised on him in five years too high? I don't know.
The Flashback
"Grandmother believes Nay can, can and can reunite this family. They might currently hurt and hate each other, but there's Nay they both care about."
"Abang Kei loves Nay? Nay didn't hear wrong, did he? How could Abang Kei love Nay, he'd be tempted to leave Nay as a people in a land of people, huh?"
"Nay, your brother never left you. He always takes care of you, but in his own way."
"Abang Kei always take care of Nay?"
Flashback Off
What's your way of looking after Nay?
With ...
Never treated Nay like a wife?
Marry another woman without Nay knowing?
Or with ...
Intentionally presenting the woman in front of Nay so that this wound deepens?
...***...
