Twins A And Miss Cheriwis
S2 - Chapter. 16 - Princess Message
Arash can't sleep tonight. The man really thought what if Yumna and Rayyan didn't want to be away from Zia, what should the man do?
Arash knew that Rayyan and Yumna still needed a mother figure beside them. But do their children not understand? If their real mothers are already gone??
Yes, it should not be Yumna and Rayyan who understand, but Arash. Of course Rayyan and Yumna have not understood the meaning of losing a mother. But, wait! If Rayyan doesn't understand the meaning of losing a mother?? Why can that adorable toddler tell Zia and Princess apart?? Obviously Rayyan called the Princess Mama, while Zia called Uti. That means, Rayyan already understands if her mother is gone?? At least Rayyan already understood if she could no longer see her mother.
And one more thing that makes Arash wonder, why did Rayyan never ask him where his mother is now?? Isn't that a natural question for a child who is almost two years old?
Arash let out a long and heavy sigh, the man had to figure out a way for Rayyan and Yumna to get used to it without Zia. But how? Did he really have to give up his status as a state servant? Then carry his baby away from Zia?
Tok ... tok …
Arash turned his head towards the source of the sound, where it turned out that Papa Arka had just knocked on the table to pick up his attenuation.
"Yes, Pa?" Arash smiled at the arrival of the father.
"Can Papa sit down?' ask Papa Arka.
"Yes, Pa, please."
Papa Arka walked slowly and sat on the single sofa next to Arash.
"Do you want coffee?" tawar Papa Arka is answered by Arash.
"No, Pa."
"key …." Papa Arka also sipped the coffee in the cup in his hand.
"What are you thinking, Rash? From earlier Papa noticed you just kept sighing," asked Papa Arka after sipping her bitter coffee.
"Nothing, Pa," Arash lied.
Papa Arka smiled, the middle-aged man put his coffee cup on the table, then rested his back on the sofa backrest.
"Are you thinking about the Princess?" ask Papa Arka.
"No, Pa, not that," Arash replied quickly as he shook his head slowly.
"Then, what woman in your mind is Zia??' guess Papa Arka who made Arash immediately turned to him.
Papa Arka smiled, it turns out that Papa Arka's guess is right, if Arash must have been thinking about Zia. Yes, although not thinking about feelings of love, but thinking about Zia who seems to be in control of custody Rayyan and Yumna.
"Papa's advice, let Rayyan and Yumna be taken care of by Zia," said Papa Arka giving advice, when he saw Arash just silently looking at him.
"What-what? Papa said what?" arash asked as if he did not hear what Papa Arka said, even though Arash only wanted to hear once again what was said by the man who had made him exist in this world.
"Did you tell me to let Rayyan and Yumna stay with Zia?" her question was only answered with a smile by Papa Arka.
"Is Papa wrong?" arash said with a voice that sounded annoyed.
"No. After all, Rayyan and Yumna seem to need Zia more than you do" Papa Arka said.
Arash looked increasingly upset, even the man had already clenched his hands to dampen his anger so as not to explode.
"Pa, Arash is Rayyan and Yumna's real father. So, Arash is the most entitled to take care of them. Arash can quit the police force to take care of Yumna and Rayyan, Pa. Arash can be both a mother and a father for Yumna and Rayyan. So, Arash's children no longer need the figure of a mother, because Arash can fulfill it" said Arash with a feeling of annoyance.
"So you intend to resign from the police?" ask Papa Arka.
"Yes, Pa. Arash can do anything for Arash's kids. "
"And after you left the police, are you sure you can meet the mother and father figure for Yumna and Rayyan?" ask Papa Arka again.
"Yes, Arash is very sure."
Papa Arka smiled, making Arash frown confused.
"Why is dad laughing?" ask Arash.
"You're overconfident, Arash. You said you could play mom and dad at once. But you really can't, Rash. You can't" replied Papa Arka.
"Papa don't underestimate Arash too much."
"No, Papa didn't underestimate you, Rash. But, what Papa said was the truth. You can't and can't play mother and father for Rayyan and Yumna. You can't" said Papa Arka without the slightest hesitation.
"Maybe right now Arash can't, Pa. But, as time goes on, Arash must be able to do it," replied Arash did not want to lose to the papa.
"Please try, if you don't believe what Papa said." Papa Arka took his cup of coffee again, then took a sip and put it back on the table.
"Married to Zia. After all, isn't that the Princess's last request?" papa Arka said before getting up from his seat.
Arash was speechless, how could Papa Arka know if the Princess' last request was to ask her to marry Zia? Where did Papa Arka know that? If Papa Arka knows, does Mama Kesya know it too?
Arash was still silent in his place, thinking how Papa Arka could know about what the Princess was asking at that time.
"Mas, if I'm not. Will you take care of Zia for me? Will you marry her and make Zia the mother of my children, Mas?"
"Sayang—"
"I hope you're the man who can make Zia happy, Mas. And I hope you can be Zia's last love, and vice versa."
Arash let out a heavy and long sigh, the man recalled what the Princess had asked for just before she was rushed to the hospital unconscious.
"I can't, Put. I can't replace you with anyone, including Zia. I can't" Arash said softly as he rubbed his face rough.

Zia was playing with Rayyan, when a guest came to meet her.
"Who, mbok?" asked Zia without looking.
"I."
Zia was silent, the girl slowly turned her face to see who was coming. It was seen that the man who was currently standing before her was smiling so sweetly at Zia.
"Ibra?"
"Hmm, it's me." Ibra moved her feet closer to Zia.
"Can I join?" ask Ibra.
Zia smiled and nodded her head. "Yes, please."
Ibra also smiled more and more. The man gave a bouquet of roses that looked so beautiful to Zia. The flower he had hidden behind his back earlier.
"For you."
Zia smiled. " Thank you so much, the flowers are so pretty." Zia smelled the scent of flowers in her hand. "The fragrance is soft and still fresh" he said slowly.
"And this ... for Rayyan!" Ibra gave small toy cars, as small as Rayyan's grip.
Looks adorable toddler was very happy to get a gift from Ibra.
"Rayyan, baby. What did you say to Om Ibra?" zia said to the adorable toddler.
"Aci Omba" said Rayyan with an adorable-sounding voice.
"Together, baby." Ibra also invited Rayyan to play the cars he bought earlier together.
Zia just looked on with a smile, as Ibra and Rayyan laughed together.
Ah, is this a picture of Zia's future if she is married to Ibra?
But, what was the fate of Rayyan and Yumna? Will Arash still give him permission, if he wants to take Rayyan and Yumna?
Then, what if Zia is not in Jakarta when after marrying Ibra? What if she had to go wherever her husband was assigned? Surely Zia had to part with Yumna and Rayyan for quite a long time, right?
Is Zia able to part with those two adorable toddlers? Will Yumna and Rayyan be able to live far away from her? In staying in Singapore for a few days, Yumna and Rayyan were already sick. What if I live for years?
Or does? Is Zia trying to take custody of Rayyan and Yumna? But on what basis did he take custody of Rayyan and Yumna?
Zia let out a heavy sigh, making Ibra turn her head towards him.
"What's wrong?" ibra asked looking into Zia's eyes.
"Hmm? Nothing," Zia replied as she shook her head slowly and gave a small smile.
