Rain for Airin
Eps 11's. The Taste That Still Remains the Same

Mentari Resto

Airin placed herself next to Rain after coming from the toilet.

"Sorry, we ate first" Rain said, feeling bad, having started eating without waiting for Airin. His hands had now sucked the salad into his mouth.

"No problem. Sorry for taking too long in the bathroom" Airin replied as she watched Zia sitting in front of her, focusing on her favorite spaghetti carbonara.

Spaghetti carbonara is also Keano's favorite food. Airin's head bracelets, if you remember Zia is very similar to Keano. Personality is also a favorite. They had never met at all.

"Sttts... " Rain nudged softly on Airin's arm.

"What, Mas?"

"Humm.". "rumm Rain pointed at his own cheek intending to tell if Airin had a grain of rice on his cheek, because his mouth was full.

Airin glared while shaking. Then ate his order fried rice again while watching Zia.

"Hasii...."

That's what Airin's ears can catch from Rain's mouth full. Still with index finger pointing at his right cheek.

"Don't be here, Mas. Shame," said Airin who did not connect at all.

Rain glared at him, annoyed.

"Yes, deh," replied Airin who made Rain relieved because he understood the instructions.

But Airin's subsequent reaction was even more unexpected. Instead of getting rid of the rice perched on the cheeks. The woman even brought her face closer to Rain's cheek that was pointed earlier.

The cup!

A brief kiss landed on Rain's cheek. Make the man stunned, and immediately swallow the food in the mouth without chewing it again. His cheeks are now as red as tomatoes.

After being able to regain consciousness, Rain immediately dyed.

I wish the people there hadn't seen them. But unfortunately the visitors around even smile to watch them.

Rain snorting. Directly reaching for Airin's chin to look at him, then rubbed Airin's cheek gently, getting rid of the rice of the culprit. Now Airin is blushing with Rain's sweet behavior.

Zia who had noticed the behavior of the two adults before her interrupted with a plain face, "Mother and Om Rain are dating, ciee...."

...***...

Airin looked at Zia's calm shady face falling asleep in her arms. A small smile remembered the incident at the restaurant earlier. The little girl managed to make Rain salting with her chirp.

Maybe Airin needs to consider a proposal that a few months ago Rain had submitted. But the wounds in the past are again able to make the defensive wall more solid.

Not that it still puts a taste in the ex. Airin was just traumatized, afraid that if he loved someone too much, that person would slowly abandon him. Enough like this before.

Airin already thinks of Rain as his own brother. After all, he had longed to have a brother, but that hope had to be dashed because fate said otherwise.

Airin is very grateful for his life now. Have a smart and understanding child.

His little angel grew up well even without the presence of a father. Not infrequently Zia asked about where her father went. Make Airin fooled to answer it.

It was as if the question was a difficult test to answer. If you can, Airin would like to skip that question and choose to answer another one.

But Zia will not be satisfied if you have not received a logical answer.

"Dad is going to work. But don't worry, I'll be home someday."

That's all Airin could say to Zia. Hoping for his daughter to be able to continue life without any resentment growing in the heart of the father.

Because hatred breeds vengeance. Airin couldn't bear it if her daughter was going to be a vengeful.

"Mother misses too."

Airin accidentally said that sentence, he just followed the heart.

Airin stared warmly at the face of her little angel. The most precious gift of God was entrusted to him in the midst of the hardships of life lived.

When Airin felt that her world had been destroyed, Zia was present to bring with her a faded spirit. Zia is the reason Airin can survive until now.

Regretting once almost took away the rights of his own son, because of pressure from many parties.

Moreover, her status was pregnant outside the marriage bond. The view of the surrounding community that likes to judge without knowing sitting problems is the main reason the whisper of the devil is able to penetrate his mind.

Somewhere, but still in the same town.

A man had just laid himself on the bed of the apartment he had rented.

The long journey using a car makes his back feel almost crumpled.

The man observed the number lined up on his phone screen. Doubt, whether he should call, or send a chat, or not even contact her at all.

"Why am I such a coward?" muttered.

Pips.

With a slightly vibrating thumb, the man pressed the button connecting him to someone.

Tuuttts... Tuuttts... Tuuttts...

The call was connected, but no one picked it up.

Pips.

The man immediately disconnected the call while breathing a sigh of relief.

"Alright, he's asleep," he said, smiling with relief.

After saying that sentence, his phone suddenly rang. His eyes immediately widened to look at the name of the person who was contacting him.

Drrtt... Drrtt...

"What?! Airin's calling back?!"

Room Airin.

Drrtt... Drrtt...

The phone on the nightstand vibrates. Making Airin jerk from daydreams. His brows were linked while observing an unknown number had just contacted him.

Thinking if the number might have belonged to one of Rain Cafe's customers, where he worked. Airin called him back immediately.

"Hello? Assalamu'alaikum?" greet Airin, as the person across the street picks up his phone.

Silent. There's no answer.

"Sorry, with whom, huh? Is there a need with-"

Tut's. Tut's. Tut's.

"Eh?" Airin watched his phone for a moment.

"Maybe a wrong connection," he guessed, before re-clutching the tiny body of Zia who was able to make his heart calm down to fall asleep in warmth.

Very different from someone across there whose heart is raging, unsettled.
