"Dad" Call Kennan with a cute voice typical of small children.
Danu looked unmoved, with teary eyes, she stared into the face of the child who looked so much like her when she was her age. Something he never thought of before.
"Dad" call him again.
Danu summarized Kennan's face, then kissed his forehead long. "Sorry Ken's father, I haven't been with you all this time"
Nina's confession just now, makes Danu very happy, regardless of the existence of Nina, Danu immediately embraced and kissed the many boys who were in front of him, he was very happy to let go of the longing for his son. A while later, Danu again realized Nina's existence with a downcast look.
"Om Danu was Kenan's father?"
Danu was unable to say, he just nodded in response to Kennan's words.
"Dad don't be a bully anymore"
"Don't love, I won't leave you" said Danu still with a hug to Kennan. "Later to go home to dad, yes, we stay together at home dad, we play games, we are happy together, persuade mother also to come with us home"
"Dad's got a house?" asked Kennan plainly.
"Have it" Danu said and then broke his embrace. He pinched both of Kennan's cheeks.
"Why didn't Danu say for a long time that he was Kennan's father?"
Not yet Danu answered, Yuni's voice suddenly interjected.
"Mba Nina is late in the afternoon, Kennan hasn't taken a shower" Yuni said as she approached them.
"Kennan will take a bath with his father mba"
"Oh yes already"
"Kennan baby, it's late afternoon son, Ken take a shower first huh"
"Same bath om Danu can bun?"
"Dad dear" sambar Danu fast.
"Oh yes, dad"
Danu smile.
"Yes have taken a bath with my father now, later after the shower can play again"
"Ken, let's take a shower, after the bath, we go to the mosque" said Danu cheerfully.
"Bringing with dad, right?"
"Yes dong" Danu then carried Kennan on his back. Kennan chuckled while he was in Danu's arms. The father and son looked very happy. The togetherness of Kennan and Danu for almost two months, did not make them awkward with each other, it was precisely the compactness they showed.
While waiting for the two men to finish cleaning themselves, Nina went to the kitchen to help bi Tati and Umi cook, before she had prepared a change of clothes for her husband and child.
"Nina, when did you come home to your husband? ask umi while cutting onions.
"Why umi?"
"It would be better if the wife stayed at the husband's house son, three years you left him without news, you've been very sinful, now is the time you make amends for your mistakes"
"Umi, if Nina divorced Danu mas, would umi agree?"
Hearing her daughter's words, Umi immediately stopped the movement of her hand that was cutting onions "Astaghfirullah Nina, why do you want to divorce her?" he's been faithfully waiting for you, he's even always comforting umi when umi is missing you"
"Umi, if umi knows Danu's behavior, what Umi still wants me to maintain my household" Nina said.
"Son, divorce is so hated by God, let alone you have been blessed with children, how the fate of your son if you divorce, Kennan just felt the happiness of meeting his father, Kennan, would you ruin your own son's happiness"
"Nin, I have to go home now, there is a sudden zoom meeting with investors from China" Danu said suddenly as she held Kennan "Um I'm home first" Danu grabbed her mother-in-law's hand. Nina silently stared fixedly at Danu's face.
"Don't eat first Nu?"
"Not Umi, just stay home later"
A little awkward Nina kissed the back of Danu's hand "Kennan here with mom, I want to go home first baby"
" Want to come with me, mother"
"Tomorrow, I have work" Nina reached out her hand to grab Kennan from Danu's sling.
"Kennan wants to come" Kennan wrapped his hand around Danu's neck. Kennan's circle of hands around Danu's neck grew increasingly tight.
"It's okay Nin, Kennan come with me"
"He'll interrupt me later"
"No, Kennan won't bother you" Kennan said quickly.
"It's okay Nin"
"Let him go with his father. Kennan don't disturb father's work later ya" continued Umi
"Yes grandma"
No other choice, Nina finally agreed to Kennan's request.
"Be careful"
Danu nodded his head and said hello.
****************
Shortly after Danu's departure, a greeting was heard.
Nina and Umi walk towards the main door.
"Haidar" concluded umi.
They seemed to shake hands, then hugged each other in turn.
"Nina, how are you?" haidar asked as she hugged her sister's body.
"Well mas, mas itself how, why not invite mba Dini and Jenaira?"
"Mas just got home from work straight here, Irma says you're home" Haidar circulates to every corner of the room "Where's Kennan?" tanyakanya. Nina was surprised to hear Haidar's question.
Umi smiled to see his two children take off each other longing, he rubbed his son's back gently "Umi to the back used to make tea ya mas" interrupted umi
"Yes um"
Nina looked at the back of Umi who was walking towards the kitchen. After losing sight, Nina again directed her focus to her brother's face.
"M-mas Haidar knows about Kennan?" asked Nina in sternness. "Let's sit down"
"You know, all this time I've been asking you from afar, Irma has told you all about your household, about Nesa and also your pregnancy" As soon as I heard Haidar's words, I've told you, Instantly Nina led her sister out to the gazebo in front of the house.
"So Irma told all to mas?" asked Nina when she was far from her umi reach. She felt embarrassed in front of her sister had an affair with her own husband until she became pregnant.
"Yes, just after we made the conference call first, Mas Haidar immediately asked Irma, Mas worried about you, but, so I forced Irma to tell you everything that happened to you and asked for your address in Jakarta"
"That's why I don't dare go home, I'm ashamed"
"Then why?" Haidar hugged Nina from the side.
"Are you mad at Danu after you know everything?"
"Not only angry Nin, even at that time I wanted to beat him up, but I stopped doing it because he was the father of my niece"
"Hate the same mas Danu?"
"It used to hate it, but Abi kept advising mas not to hate it"
Nina turned her head to the side staring at Haidar full of intense "Did abi also know?"
Haidar nodded. Nina put her head back down.
"That's why I forbid Danu to look for you. Mas also deliberately hid you from Danu during this time, even though mas really know what your condition is like. And over time, it seemed like he had truly changed for the better. Mas also had several times, even often pretended to seduce him by phone, but he always ignored and blocked the number that mas use to contact him"
"I don't know if abi also knew it mas, did Haidar tell umi too?"
"No, I just tell abi, and abi forbid mas tell umi, abi is afraid umi is getting more thought about you"
"How abi mas responded, he seemed ordinary to mas Danu"
"Abi was also angry, and very disappointed, not only at Danu, but at you as well. But you know for yourself how abi"
Nina nodded "I am indeed a child who does not know myself, I should have talked about my household matters to you, instead of taking the decision to incarnate as Nesa. But at that time I thought, it would be unethical to tell you about my domestic problems"
"Already" said Haidar tightened his embrace "Let's apologize abi"
"I'm sorry Danu ya mas"
"This guy is the best. How's your house now?"
"Actually I want a divorce, but Danu won't divorce me"
"Mas and Abi also often tell Danu to run you over, but she refuses, she insists on waiting for you and maintaining her household" said Haidar.
"Do I have to give a chance to Danu mas?"
"Why ask, follow your heart, if you are still unsure, do Istikharah"
"But if I give him one chance, do mas and abi agree?"
"If you have decided how else, it seems like Danu has changed too, you also know that you love him very much. Mas sure you're disguised as Nesa because you don't want your husband cheating on you with another woman" Haidar paused his words for a breath of air.
"The woman who became his mistress is you Nin, his wife, never imagine if Nesa was someone else. If you always imagine Nesa as someone else, you will suffer alone, while you still love her. And if Nesa really isn't you, it's not like this story is, and sure enough, your household has been well past. Or if you still have doubts, you ask for the same opinion abi"
"Mas Danu cheated on me because she didn't love me, if she loved me, maybe she'd think again if she'd cheated on me"
"Well, now you can see how he kept you, waiting for you for three years. And mas make sure it will immediately beat him if he repeats the affair again" said Haidar as if to calm his sister.
"Let's go in already want maghrib, mas also want a bath"
"Come"
Walking into the house, Nina asked about her sister-in-law and niece, with her hands coiled around her left arm.
"So Mba Dini is currently pregnant mas"
"Yes, he likes to be angry without cause, even though Dini mba does not like to be angry, but since pregnant with her second child she turned out to be very fierce, but since she was pregnant she turned out to be very fierce, mas and Jenaira don't dare to dwell when they're angry"
"Jennaira must have been great yes mas"
"Later if the semester vacation must be Aira asked to nginep here"
"What are you talking about, why do you have to go forward, the tea that you make will be cold" said Umi when her two children entered the house.
Both of his sons smiled.
"Although cold remains delicious if artificial umi" said Haidar while sipping tea made by umi.
"Baking first mas, already want maghrib"
"Abi's not home huh um?" ask Haidar.
"Abimu was invited to a lecture in Jogja" Umi then handed the towel to his eldest son.
"How I faced abi, who apparently knew about the madness of the child and his daughter-in-law, I seemed to have no face in front of abi. If mas Danu knows, surely he will also be very embarrassed abi" Inner Nina then fold mukena after the prayer maghrib.
