Triplets' Last Mission.
A Gift for Chen
The event went well. After holding a prayer mat, Chen and the others were still sitting together in the living room, Airy and Adam's house.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" ketus Chen to Ayyana, who indeed continued to observe him.
"Huh? It's not just with me. Even with her brother, is she?" murmured Lin Aurora in the heart.
Ayyana gave a gift to Chen. Followed by Anthea, Gehna and Rafa. They gave each of his gifts directly into Chen's hands.
"What'sthis? Is this what it's customary?" chen was confused.
"No, it's just .. This is our gift as proof of our affection for you. Congratulations, and the spirit to always be Istiqomah" replied Rafa.
"What is istiqomah?" chen was still confused.
"Later Uncle will explain. Now it's better, open the gift from your brothers first" said Raihan patting Chen on the shoulder.
In fact, Chen was only confused as to why he had gotten the reward. In his entire life, he had never received such a meaningful gift from the closest people. In fact, her birthday alone was never celebrated because Chen hated that day.
"The Qur'an?" chen asked as he opened the gift from Rafa. "salat equipment? A very useful gift. Hm, what is this?" he lifted a heavy box.
"Open up, that's also from me" said Rafa, the first gift Chen opened was, from Rafa.
A carving of Chen's feet and hands as a baby. Chen was born in the hospital, his legs and hands will definitely be stamped after birth. Rafa accidentally gives the gift, to remind him that Chen is part of the pesantren family despite not growing up with him.
"This is from wood? These little palms and feet .. are mine?" ask Chen.
"True, I carved it myself. Back then, when you were getting married to your sister's best friend, I came to the hospital and asked for your data. Carving took a long time, until where you failed with him" explained Rafa.
"I went back, after Aisha got married. And only yesterday, hahaha, may you like it, Chen," he continued by wiping his hand full of wounds, as a result of being slashed with a knife.
Chen glanced at Rafa's hand. "But why is his name Rasya Fahreza Putra? Is that it, the name that was once given to me?" ask Chen.
Rafa nodded.
"Thank you, I love the gift. It's very valuable, I'll always take care of it" Chen said, it's hard to express myself.
Later, Chen opens a gift from Gehna. It contained a man's robe, and some perfume that her husband brought home from Tarim. The gift from Anthea was also not far from a simple thing. They wanted to spend time with Chen as a child.
"This is from ... Ayyana's sister? I open, yeah?"
The gift of Ayyana is, a glass in which there are childhood photos of all the sons of pesantren princesses from the childhood of Aisyah, Akbar, Kabir and Syakir. The one in the glass is just a childhood photo.
"It's so beautiful, was this my mother's childhood?" tanya Chen rubbed a picture of her mother.
"of course! Look how similar you are to your mother. It's our grandmother's childhood, Aisyah's grandmother. His face was exactly the same as Ayesha's, wasn't it?" answer Ayyana.
Slowly, Chen's tears trickled as he touched all the photos. Chen asked why Ayyana gave the gift.
Ayyana replied, "Childhood is the most beautiful time. I don't know how you lived your childhood, Chen. It's just, I want you to know, that we're here, always wanting you to be present in our childhood. So, I think this gift is the most appropriate gift,"
"While I don't mean what you're saying, this is pretty good. Thank you," said Chen keeping it well.
All the parents who were there were happy to see the harmony between the brothers. It was once the parents did too, they do not feel failed to lower their attitude to their children.
After gathering, everyone went home. Chen himself had also reached his room. Look at all the gifts given by her sisters.
All the gifts are special. But the most special of Rafa and Ayyana. Chen continued to rub the hand and foot carvings while he was still a red baby. There was an engraved pendant that Adam deliberately carved also hanging there.
"Rasya Fahreza Putra. But, I can't change my name now" he murmured.
"After all, the present name is a gift from the man who raised me. But, I don't accept what Cindy did to me!"
Chen touched the gift of Ayyana, which apparently could light up, due to the presence of a small lamp in each corner of her glass.
"If I see this, I feel that I really have a big family that loves each other without having to compete in business,"
"Ah, what a beautiful childhood my mother. Uh, who is this? Tengil, oh ... There is a name in every photo, Airy Calista Putri Handika? Huh, it turns out that this rancid is Airy's Aunt,"
Not feeling it, Chen's eyes began to shut. Although he had started to feel the frown in the part, he still held it because the doctor said it did not take long to heal.
"Damn, it feels like peeing,"
"Hish, it's so troublesome!"
His sleep was uncomfortable, unable to sleep in peace. Chen opened the door, walked into the living room and sat there.
At the right time, Jovan called him. Give word, if he has received evidence, if there is another purpose behind the matchmaking.
"All right, then how. Did you tell my father?" ask Chen.
"I haven't been to your house yet, Chen. I'll try to go there tomorrow. I just came home from the border to pick up Lin Aurora's male cousin" Jovan replied.
"Keep me in. A lot of movement at least, let me know right away" Chen said.
"Good,"
"Shh, fuck. It's itchy!" lirih.
"Why are you sighing? What are you doing, Chan?" ask Jovan curiously.
"It's none of your business!" joked Chen, hang up.
Shortly after, Rebecca came from the kitchen. "Well, Chen? You haven't slept?" reproofing.
Chen shakes. Rebecca approached her son and sat down next to him. "Why not sleep?" continued Rebecca.
"I can't sleep, Mother," Chen replied gently.
"What's that hurt?" ask Rebecca.
Chen nodded again. "I was sick when I saw the wounds on Mom's body and face. Did you not want to tell me?" tanyanya back.
Rebecca fell silent, then asked Chen to lay his head on her thigh. Swiping his son's hair lovingly. And said not to take revenge on anyone who has hurt his family.
