Young Mothers
Fear Al

Just at 3 am, suddenly Devano and Ciara's room heard a cry. No, not the cry of baby Kiya but the cry of a child. Ciara who heard it also opened her eyes and sharpened her hearing.

He glanced at the entire corner of the room there but found no one else around.

Suddenly the feather stood up and she shuddered. He also now turned his head and found Devano who was still soundly asleep as well as baby Kiya who had not since when the little baby was sleeping in their bed. Maybe Devano moved it because he did not want to go back and forth when baby Kiya cried later.

Ciara now sat her body as the voice grew more and more clear in her ears. It was very desirable that she woke Devano so that her husband would accompany her or just check the source of the voice where. But if you see the face of Devano who was like not long asleep because he was busy accompanying baby Kiya staying up late makes himself undo his intentions. And though he was afraid he would try to encourage himself to find the source of the voice where it came from.

Before getting out of bed, Ciara tied her hair and then she went down the bed.

"Hiks hiks hyks," her voice was heard again as Ciara began to step her feet towards the sofa in the room.

"Geez, why am I so scared of gini anyway? ah come on Cia. Eliminate that fear of yours," Ciara's inner self to calm herself down.

Until now, just one step away from him to the sofa, the sound of his crying was getting louder in the ear until he ventured to the corner of the room that was blocked by the sofas and how surprised he was when he saw there was a little boy sitting on the floor leaning beside the sofa with his legs and hands bent, his face was drowned behind his hands.

"Al," call Ciara lirih. He was actually afraid that the little boy was not Al but a creature that only appeared to him. But after that face looked up at him. Ciara was only able to breathe a sigh of relief because the one in front of her was really Al and she quickly poked her body and hugged Al's body which was still shaking from crying.

Gently, Ciara stroked Al's hair.

"Al why cry hmm? and why isn't Al here waking up, Mama?" ask Ciara.

"Hiks. Al hiks is afraid of Ma. Hiks Al is afraid that Mama and Papa will stay alone. Al does not want to separate from Mama and Papa," said Al terbata. Ciara tightened her embrace.

"Al was here to make sure that Mama and Papa were still around Al. Al doesn't want to disturb your sleep. Hiks Al is afraid of Ma, Al is very afraid," Al added.

"Al, Mama and Papa will never leave Al alone. Mama and Papa will continue with Al and baby Kiya until anytime. So Al calm yes, do not cry anymore," said Ciara.

There was no reply from Al, he kept crying in Ciara's arms. And Ciara who began to ache for too long crouching was finally slowly carrying Al's body and he sat his body on one of the sofas while Al was in his lap did not forget the boy continued hugged him.

"What was Al that nightmare?" ciara asked as she watched Al's face leaning against her chest.

Al looked to nod his head.

"Try the same story Mama. Al was mimip what?"

"Al hiks had a dream that Mama and Papa ninggalin Al themselves in a place where there is no light at all. The place is really dark and stuffy, Ma. Even Al was hard to breathe. Al is afraid of Ma, Al is afraid of the torch" Al said.

Ciara stroked the boy's back affectionately.

"Darling with Mama yes. It was all just a dream. And that dream is just a story that will never happen. Mama and Papa love Al so there's no way we can do that, baby. I don't have to be afraid anymore. Mama and Papa will never leave Al. Al will continue to be the proud son of Mama and Papa," said Ciara trying to continue to calm Al.

While Devano who was like hearing the faint voice of someone began to open his eyes and the first thing he saw was baby Kiya in the same mattress with him and Ciara? where is his wife?

Devano immediately sat down and spread his gaze throughout the room and for a moment his eyes now caught two people hugging each other.

Devano is now slowly getting out of bed but previously he had installed a roll and pillow on the right and left side of baby Kiya. Then he can only approach the two people after baby Kiya, he made sure it is safe.

When he arrived, he sat next to his wife.

"Nightmare" replied Ciara who was still faithfully stroking Al's back even though Al was calmer than before.

Devano nodded his head and his hands stretched out to stroke Al's hair.

"Whatever was in Al's dream would never happen. So Al doesn't have to be scared anymore okay. And now that Al has to sleep again, it's still 3am. Tomorrow Al has to go to school, right?" Al looked at the Papa then he shook his head.

"Al don't want to sleep, Papa. Al was afraid when Al would sleep Papa same Mama would leave Al alone in the dark place," said Al.

Devano frowned. Dark place? does Al's dream have anything to do with it? or the rest of the shadows when he was kidnapped at that time still stuck in his mind? If it's true, it means Al is traumatized right now.

Devano now clenched his hand. He would never forgive Tiara if Al was traumatized as he was in his mind right now.

"Dev, why?" ciara asked when she saw the change in facial expression from Devano earlier.

Devano now seemed to close his eyes briefly then smiled at Ciara.

"Father, dear. Here let me just calm Al until he sleeps again" said Devano.

"Here Al Sama Papa," he continued while taking over Al's body from Ciara's lap.

And just as Al had moved, the sound of baby Kiya's cry sounded loud filled the room. Ciara also swiftly approached baby Kiya and immediately gave breast milk to the baby to be calm.

"Al see for yourself. If Al is sad, baby Kiya will also be sad," said Devano who was hugging Al's body.

Al looked to raise his head to stare at Devano's face.

"Sorry Al, Papa. Al will not be sad anymore. But Al is still afraid" said Al honestly.

Devano smiled then kissed Al's head.

"Papa promised Papa would never let Al experience the same thing as Al's dream. Papa will always be on Al's side as well as Mama and baby Kiya. We'll be together forever" Devano said.

Al still looked back at Devano and suddenly Al raised his little finger.

"What promise?" Devano nodded his head and then his little finger was now coiled around Al's little finger.

"Papa promise boy," replied Devano. Al smiled and hugged Devano tightly.

"I want to sleep with Papa, Mama and baby Kiya tonight. Can it be Pa?"

"Of course, boy. What the heck does not make Papa's most handsome son," Devano answered by pinching Al's nose is still flushed because most cry. Al smiled widely.

"Thank you Papa."

"Beloved, too," Devano replied with a hand that began patting Al's butt slowly for the boy to start closing his eyes. Even so his mind continued to guess about the dream Al. And maybe he will consult a psychologist later as a precaution because he does not want his first child to have trauma or fear that will make Al suffer. And Devano will never let that happen at any time.
