"Oek.uk...uk.." Khanza continued to cry, his crying voice until it was heard outside the room.
Bagas who was in the living room to finish his work on a laptop immediately approached. Once inside the room, Rania was not around. Maybe Rania is in the bathroom.
"Why papa's daughter, kok nangis, dear?" Bagas picked up Khanza then he carried. But when he held the diaper part it was already wet. Maybe that's what makes Khanza so cranky.
Bagas again put Khanza to sleep, not long after Rania came with a hasty step.
"Ouch... Sorry, yes! I just went for a minute!" rania panicked, fearing that Bagas would be angry for leaving Khanza alone.
"Khanza asks for a diaper change, it's wet," Bagas replied.
"Just a second!" Rania left again, before long Rania returned again by thrusting the press on Bagas.
"I'm the one who needs to change Khanza's diaper?"
Rania nodded. "Yes, you should also be able to replace Khanza's diaper. I'm afraid it's like this again. I was in the bathroom and Khanza asked for a diaper change. It's okay, right? You don't mind, do you?"
Bagas sighed. He used to be known by a man who was feared by everyone. And time has turned him into a loving man. Including to replace her daughter's diaper because of affection.
"Yes, I don't mind at all. After all, I'm his father" Bagas took the press from Rania's hand, then put it next to Khanza.
"His lift-pants!" rania said, this is the first time Bagas replaced baby Khanza diapers.
"Yeah... Darling..." Bagas replaced Khanza's diaper as he often saw when Rania replaced his daughter's diaper.
Rania kept watching, afraid that there was something Bagas did not know the ways. But it turns out, never Rania thought, Bagas changed Khanza diapers well and correctly. Even Khanza is not crying, so he smiled instead.
"Happy, baby, in diapers is the same papa?" Bagas kissed the forehead of baby Khanza.
For the success of replacing Khanza diapers, Bagas asked Rania to again take pictures.
"Darling, take another picture of me with Khanza. The camera I put there, you take it, yeah!" pinta Bagas, he pointed towards where he kept the camera.
"Yes" answered Rania.
Bagas invites Khanza to play with cilukba, so that Khanza does not fall asleep before Rania takes the picture.
"Are you ready?" Rania asked when she had returned with the camera in her hand.
"Already, you count down, yes!"
"Yes. Three, two, one, check.." The picture was taken again, and the results were very good.
"Good, no?" Bagas asked then Rania showed him the picture.
"good. Now we are ready, said Brahma's father inviting us to lunch at his house!"
"Oh, yes I forgot. I'll change clothes for a second!" Bagas gives baby Khanza to Rania.
After Bagas leaves, Rania sings a lullaby to Khanza so she can sleep again.
***
When Rania and Bagas were getting ready, suddenly the door of his house was knocked by someone. The waiter there opened the door. And saw Brahma behind the door.
"There's a reason?" Brahma asked the servant who opened the door just now.
"There, sir. Wait a minute, I call! Please sit down, sir!" the servant invited Brahma to sit in the living room chair.
No waiter knocked on the door, but one from the room opened the door.
"What's wrong?" bagas asked when he saw a servant at the door of his room.
"There's a big master in the living room, sir?" the answer.
Bagas frowned deeply. "My papa?"
"Yes, sir."
"Yes, then you go back to the kitchen. Make drinks!" tell the host, the maid nodded before she finally left before Bagas.
"Who?" ask Rania who just finished changing clothes.
"Says there's a papa in the living room."
"Dad to here? Didn't we tell her to go there?" Rania was also confused.
Rania is still in the doorway. "What do you want, huh? Is there anything important he wants to talk about? Yesterday he asked us to go to his house, now it's my own father who came here."
After a few minutes of Rania standing there, he returned to give ASI to Khanza.
In the living room, Bagas sat beside his father after shaking hands. He saw sadness on his face. So he immediately asked the cause of the grief.
"Papa why? Papa is there a problem?" Bagas looked at his worried papa.
Brahma shook his head weakly. "No, no problem!"
"But papa's face tells me that papa is sad. Papa told me the same story!" pinta Bagas, a little pushy.
Brahma let out a long sigh, then exhaled it a little harshly. He rubbed his face using both of his palms.
"Yes, Bagas. Papa invited you to lunch at the papa's house there is actually something you want to talk to. But because papa knows that Rania's condition is not completely healthy, and a woman who is still in a state of puerperium is not allowed to travel. That's why papa came here."
"Papa wants to talk about your brother. Yesterday papa went to the police station, I am sorry to see your brother's condition. It's easy for papa to let him go if papa wants. But, papa wants all children papa can learn to be responsible for his actions," continued the man with the lungs with a face that began to glaze over.
"Papa does not want, your brother is out of his responsibility. Before you go home, you can talk to the police without the knowledge of your brother and aunt. He said his sentence would be up in a year. He said it was the lightest punishment. Because the harshest punishment was inflicted on the man who was with your brother and Hera, who you forgot is his name. Because the man is the brain of all the evil that carries your brother and aunt's name" the man added.
Bagas was silent, actually he did not have the heart to see his papa was sad. But what his brother had done to his wife was already completely outrageous.
"Papa's right, I could've unplugged that report easily. But we can't let go of brother's responsibility, let brother bear all the consequences. Let Hera's brother and aunt be deterred, so that they will no longer repeat the same mistake" said Bagas.
"Actually what makes papa sad is not that," Brahma spoke again after a moment of silence.
"Then, there's another problem, pa?" Bagas asked impatiently waiting for his papa's answer.
"Lonely. Ever since you and Rania decided to stay in your new home, papa has felt lonely. And at that time, your brother who became papa's only hope. But your brother came out of the house because he had to serve his sentence. Papa's very lonely, Bagas. You need a friend to talk to at all times. I hope you play at papa's house a lot, huh?!" Brahma asked with a little plea, his old age is not as beautiful as he imagined. And more lonely than he ever thought.
Bagas nodded, he would try to obey his papa's wishes. Not long after, Rania came to them.
"There's a father," Rania kissed Brahma's back hand, then sat down next to her husband.
Brahma is looking for someone. "Where's papa's grandson?"
"Khanza just slept, pa. Just now I gave him ASI," said Rania, showing a bit of disappointment on Brahma's face.
"Papa longs for him, papa will wait for him to wake up."
"Yes, pa." replied Rania with a smile on her lips.
Silence began to slip between the three of them, but suddenly Brahma remembered something.
"Bagcases... Rania.." call her shrewd.
"Yes, pa. What's up?"
"What's up, dad?"
"Yesterday, papa accidentally almost hit a woman near the cafe before our office. When I apologized to him, he raised his head. When you see his face, it reminds you of your mama" Brahma told me while imagining the events of yesterday.
"Seriously, pa?"
"Yes. Papa once tukeran mobile number with him, papa will be responsible because papa has made him fall and his legs hurt," immediately a smile emanated on Brahma's face.
"Well, how to get to the phone number?" tanya Bagas does not believe, because before this papa is not easy to give mobile phone numbers to others, especially those who are not familiar.
"Yes. Because the woman's face reminds papa of your mother, that makes it easy for papa to give papa's phone number to the woman. Papa thought, to find out who that woman is! Do you allow this papa intention?"
Bagas and Rania stared at each other, maybe it was time for Brahma to find his happiness again. So that Brahma would no longer be lonely, if the woman was still single. Rania gave the code to Bagas, nodding her head.
"Whatever you think is good, me and Rania will always support you!" said Bagas, giving a new spirit to Brahma is more active in his action to find out who the woman he almost hit yesterday.
"Yes, Bagas. Thank you, yes! Thank you also for my dear daughter-in-law. Papa love you all!" Brahma hugged his son and son-in-law. The sadness over her loneliness is now fading, as she recalls the woman who has managed to revive her romance.
Good luck, Brahma. Don't forget to tell me who that woman is!
