2 Months Later ...
Aura covered her stunned mouth just because of a small object that was now in her hands.
"Mass? It's Rayyan!!" his screams.
With a rush Rayyan approached the position of his wife who was in the bathroom.
"Why, Honey? Any cockroaches?"
Aura shook her head from her position, leaving Rayyan clueless as to what made Aura seem hysterical.
"Here, deh ..."
"Why?" Rayyan approached then unexpectedly Aura hit her husband's tall body with a tight hug.
"Eh, why, why?" Rayyan still could not digest the situation.
Aura slightly looked up at her husband, then let out a soft voice.
"Finally, Mommy." Aura paused her sentence, she hugged Rayyan again until the next speech that came out of her lips was muffled by the hug.
"What did you say?" asked Rayyan to make sure. He did not really hear what Aura said.
Aura looked up again, along with Rayyan looking down on her. The gazes of their eyes clashed against each other along with Aura's mouth that re-opened to state the thing that stunned her.
"I ... pregnant, Mas. I'm finally pregnant again!"
Rayyan's eyelids widened when she heard it, after which she immediately carried Aura in her sling and twirled the body with constant movement.
"I'm so happy, honey." Rayyan's Response.
"Other than me, my mother."
Rayyan lowered Aura back until they looked at her again.
"Thank you, honey. I'm gonna have my son." Rayyan kissed Aura's forehead with a deep and long kiss as if channeling her heartfelt affection for the wife. While Aura closed her eyes permeated what her husband was doing.
"From now on you have to be more careful. It's healthier again. More excited and can't be too tired."
"Yes, Mum." Mangosteen aura.
"And one more .. I don't want the events of the time in Germany to happen again." Rayyan recalled how Aura had an accident until her womb was forced to abort in order to follow up on her condition which had to perform surgery to save the woman's life.
"Yes, Mas. Doain is all good and I won't be careless anymore. You're gonna take care of me, aren't you, Mas?"
"Surely."
That day, Rayyan became Rayyan again. Where she looked very quick to serve Aura. Even the man did not allow his wife to enter the kitchen area because it was Rayyan who would prepare everything for Aura.
Aura recalled the incident where something similar had happened. How blind he used to be when he received Rayyan's kindness. How naive he was when he could not see Rayyan's sacrifice to him.
Thankfully they are now reunited in the sacred bond of marriage and Aura is determined not to waste her husband again.
"Why see me like that?" asked Rayyan while serving vegetable capcai on the table. The man had just cooked for his beloved wife.
"Nothing, again admiring the good looks of the chef in front of me, really." The aura held amusedly because of her own words.
Somehow Aura's speech even makes Rayyan's face reddened, his wife who now often teases him. But he likes it.
"Eat yes. Although it does not taste as good as your Mama's or as you usually buy at your flagship restaurant but I guarantee it must be delicious, really. And I'm sure it's clean."
Aura gave a thumbs up. "Ready, boss," he said interspersed with slow laughter.
"Kok, boss? He said that Chef was handsome..."
"Gudge ..." Aura pretended to cover her mouth with one hand. "Wrong yes, me? Sorry .." he said again while scooping the rice that Rayyan had brought.
"No boy?"
Aura nodded her head. "Enak but .." His eyes spun as if thinking of something.
"But why? Acquaintance?"
"No, but you can't take this to anyone other than me."
Rayyan sighed softly. "Yes, only you can enjoy my cooking" he said.
"Dih .. yes, my handsome personal chef," said Aura and returned to enjoying her husband's cooking.
Rayyan ate in front of Aura and they engaged in several conversations about each other's activities.
Aura is now active in managing the Oma's central company, because until now both are still living in Singapore since Aunt Ingrid died. Not once did Rayyan ever discuss his desire to return to the homeland. Aura didn't want to mention that.
Regarding Rayyan's work in Indonesia, it is still the same as before. In these two months he always handled via email and virtual meetings. Very flexible indeed.
Aura knows Rayyan has not wanted to return to Indonesia considering that she does not want to be blamed again by her Grandmother. But, because now Aura is pregnant so inevitably Aura must open a story about this.
"Ehm ... Mas?"
"Yes?"
"Wouldn't we go back to Indonesia, Mas? I'm pregnant again, how could it be better if it's close to the family huh, Mas?"
Rayyan seemed to stop eating.
"You ... want to go home?"
Aura nodded quickly.
Rayyan didn't respond to anything, like she was weighing.
"Oh, we're home."
"Are you okay, Mom?"
"It is precisely during this time that I do not dare to invite you back to Indonesia because of fear of your who do not want to," replied Rayyan.
Aura breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm sorry, Mas. All this time I've never discussed this again, because I think you must still be heartbroken as the last incident at the tomb of Aunt Inggrid."
"Oh yeah, I don't want to talk about that anymore."
"Yes, Mas. Sorry."
"If you want to go home, I order our tickets to Indonesia but before that we check the condition of your womb first yes to the doctor."
Aura nodded her mark approving of her husband's proposal.
...***...
Aura and Rayyan's return to Indonesia was welcomed by Aura's extended family who had been waiting for them for so long.
"Yet you guys are coming home too. How wasn't the honey for two months?" seductive Mama Yara on both.
Rayyan only smiled slightly then scratched her head which was not itchy. She was embarrassed to be too open about this to her mother-in-law.
"Successfully dong our honeymoon," said Aura who apparently responded to the temptation of the mother.
"Successfully fill. Here's proof!" The aura seemed enthusiastic showing his flat stomach in front of his extended family.
"What are you really?" Papa Sky raised his voice. Looks like a crunch.
"Yes, dong, Pa!" Aura returned.
Now Papa Sky looked at his son-in-law and Rayyan nodded in response.
"Gee, eventually papa will have grandchildren too. I've been waiting for a moment like this again."
"Have a son! It's because of mama's prayer," serobot Mama Yara. "So the most waiting mama actually," he continued.
Aura and Rayyan looked at each other to see Papa Sky and Mama Yara who seemed to be scrambling over who was waiting the most for the Aura pregnancy moment.
"Hey you guys." Oma Indri is seen emerging from the back of the house. "Don't go on a snob. It's all thanks to Oma who always supported them," she joked with naughtiness.
They were all laughing at Oma's hoarse joking.
"How are you guys?" Oma looked at Rayyan first.
Actually Rayyan was still embarrassed to meet Oma Indri, considering the sins of her grandmother and Tantenya in the past to the old woman, but it seems Oma was never willing to discuss it again. How kind Oma's heart is, thought Rayyan who was grateful for it.
Even when Rayyan wanted to apologize for representing Grandma and Tante, Oma Indri seemed to shift the conversation so that Rayyan never discussed it again.
"Ray?"
"Yes, Oma."
"You're healthy, right? Last problem .. let's forget it together. Oma wants you to meet a better future because now there is a child candidate in your wife."
"Thank you, Oma." Rayyan shook Oma's hand with reverence.
"Yes, Oma love you guys. And you ... never have anything wrong with Oma so never apologize for a mistake you didn't make." Oma Indri as if being able to read Rayyan's heart made the man deeply moved.
"By the way, there's more waiting for you than Oma, Mama and Papa." Mama Yara is back.
"Who?" ask Aura.
Oma Indri turned in one direction until Rayyan and Aura looked in that direction.
An old woman with a simple look stood there with the most sincere smile.
"Grandmother .." murmured Aura in disbelief. Rayyan's grandmother looked different, the last time she met at the funeral the grandmother's appearance was not like this, usually the old woman always dressed up with a menor look, but now she is not. Grandma looked unpretentious with her veil.
"Rayyan ..." said Grandma. Grandma approached Rayyan and Rayyan never expected her to prostrate at her feet. My grandmother probably realized her mistake.
Rayyan froze on the spot, but only a few seconds because then she realized that she should not have done this action on him.
"Grandma, wake up, Grandma!" Rayyan held onto both of Grandma's shoulders, for the old woman to rise from her position.
"Grandma's sorry about you, Ray." Grandma was crying in front of Rayyan.
Rayyan was still silent as if digesting this state.
"Grandmother knows your grandmother has sinned a lot. Grandma is wrong with you. Grandma wasted you. Let grandma change, Rayyan. Grandma doesn't want to keep this up because now she realizes that the only thing she has now is you."
Rayyan looked into Grandma's eyes which looked very earnest there. Who could bear to see her grandmother lamenting like that. In Rayyan's heart, pray that the grandmother really has regretted and repented.
"I-yes, Grandma." I don't know why Rayyan's voice was so upset. He was so excited to see his grandmother.
"You want to excuse me, Grandma?" grandma asked looking surprised.
"Yes my grandma." Rayyan nodded her head.
"Thank you, Ray. Thank you. Grandma should have long since realized that you are a blessing sent by God to grandmother. Sorry grandma noticed it late." Grandma wanted to hug Rayyan but looked shy, Rayyan during the look of the grandmother until finally he embraced the old body first.
"We started everything better, Grandma. May my grandmother accept me as a granddaughter."
"Of course, Rayyan. Sure do. Grandma's guilty of a lot with you."
Aura and all who witnessed it there were very grateful because Rayyan was willing to forgive Grandma. Rayyan was so kind and forgiving.
At the same time, Aura received a call from an overseas number. He accepted it and it turned out to be a call from Wilow.
"Darren and Lucy are getting married. I want to tell you that."
"Well, congrats." Aura was happy with this. Finally Lucy opens her heart to another man and forgets Rayyan who once occupied the heart of the blue-eyed woman.
"Yes, Darren will call you later. That's if you want to."
"Why is that? Of course I want to. He's my friend too. Lucy's a friend of Rayyan's, right?"
"Haha, I think for everything that's happened before you don't want to take any more calls from Darren or Lucy."
"Darren has never been wrong with me, while Lucy. May they find new happiness." The Aura prayer later.
Rayyan approached his wife after she and grandmother forgave each other.
"Who, Honey?"
"Willow. He said Darren and Lucy were getting married." Aura told Rayyan what Wilow had said.
"Congratulations to them. I'm happy, too" said Rayyan.
Aura nodded, then continued her conversation with Wilow. He said he couldn't come there to attend Darren's invitation but he would send them a gift.
"I'm pregnant, I just arrived in Indonesia so I can't get on a plane anymore to go there. Apologize to Darren, or I'll say it later if he calls me."
"You pregnant? Well, I'm so happy, Ra!" wilow Response.
"Yes, don't you want to get married?"
"Well, I'll get married later. After your son was born."
"Why wait for my son to be born?" Aura astonishment.
"Yes, it's possible that if your son is the one who will be my match!"
And Aura chuckled at Wilow's joke. He hoped that everyone would feel the same happiness that he currently felt.
A pair of hands wrapped around Aura's belly from behind. It was Rayyan who was embracing him. Rayyan peeped her cheek from the side.
"Happily ever after, dear," whispered the man. "May you always be happy like this. I'm glad that you finally get to laugh happily again after the many trials that have befallen you and us. May we always be happy."
Aura stroked the hand of Rayyan perched on her stomach. He kissed the husband's cheek.
"False, Mas. I hope you can always be happy too. Without anyone hurting you and I am willing to be your source of happiness. Forever."
