The night ....
Aika has not been able to close her eyes even though Arumi has read a fairy tale to her. The beautiful little girl still opened her eyes despite looking cute. Marking the drowsiness had already attacked him.
“Why haven't you slept yet, Darling?”
“I don't want to sleep, Mommy,” he replied in a voice that already sounded weak.
“Why?” Arumi's forehead is thinly wrinkled. Aika had even yawned over and over again.
“If I sleep mommy will go.”
Arumi felt haru and sad at the same time. Somehow Aika's innocent speech forced her eyeballs to water. The woman held her daughter tightly and kissed her forehead repeatedly.
“No, Son. Mommy will stay here with you and won't leave again. We'll be together for good.”
“Really, Mommy?”
“True. So now sleep, huh?”
Arumi allowed the blanket that wrapped Aika's body. Just then the door opened followed by the appearance of Rafli. The tip of Arumi's eyes narrowed thinly, because she thought her husband's caon had come home.
“Hey, why is this daddy's kid not sleeping?” tanyanya while dropping her body on the left of Aika. So that the current position of Aika is between mommy and daddy.
“I'm looking after my mommy, Daddy! If I sleep, mommy will go again.”
Rafli clucked and put on a concerned face. “If you don't sleep later his eyes become panda eyes. All right, then daddy's gonna help keep mommy for you. So you can sleep now.”
“But I want to hug Mommy.”
“Alright, Darling.” Arumi laid her body down and used her arm to become Aika's pillow. Now his position with Rafli is really very close. Because Aika also did not take off her daddy's arm.
“Very dear. Like the bear who loved Masya.” Arumi gave an example of Aika's favorite cartoon that she always watched. Even the kiss he gave as a gift before going to bed. Aika was only able to breathe a sigh of relief and started to close her eyes. Of course by hugging her mommy's arm. Real tight. “Sleep, my son.”
A few minutes passed.
Aika was already lulled by dreams. Arumi felt sleepiness start to attack. Wanted to close his eyes, but Rafli was still at home in his position. One hand plays the phone, while the other arm is embraced by Aika.
“You will sleep here too?” ask Arumi.
“Actually I'm going out. But I promised Aika I'd look after her mommy,” to Rafli. Though actually he wanted to linger looking at Arumi.
“Aika is asleep. So you can sleep in the next room.”
“But Aika can wake up if I move just a little.”
The two spoke in a barely whispering voice so that Aika would not wake up. Since the kidnapping incident, Aika often woke up at night and cried fearfully looking for her daddy. Therefore, Rafli never left him during the treatment in the hospital.
“She is unlikely to wake up because she is already sleeping well. Now come out.”
Hearing that, Rafli clucked softly while exhaling a long breath. Arumi's behavior is like a virgin who is embarrassed to be close to a man.
“Yes, Arumi. We've been in a closer position than this to produce Aika. I also remember you had a birthmark in-”
Rafli's vulgar speech creates a red hue on Arumi's cheeks, which unfortunately is still clearly visible despite the dim lighting. Make Arumi grab the doll pillow and smash it into the man's face.
"I used to be more me$um than this but never hit a pillow" Rafli protested.
It felt like Arumi wanted to submerge himself at the bottom of the deepest Earth.
