Grace of Love
Letting Go of Longing

Ivar takes Nindi to his apartment which he has long bought but rarely occupied. Nindi still had no voice, she still could not believe Ivar was now in front of her eyes. It was like the dream Nindi had imagined.

Sometimes tears still flowed unstoppably, Ivar seemed to know very well how Nindi had been through the days without him. It does not take many words to explain, just seeing it has managed to cut his heart and feelings.

Ivar gently stroked Nindi's cheek, wiping away the tears that implied her wringing. “You must have been very troubled. Forgive Brother Nin.” Nindi couldn't bear it, she hugged Ivar very tightly.

His crying voice broke again and Ivar could no longer speak. I don't know what made her suffer so much, Ivar just waited until Nindi could actually talk to her. Hugging Nindi warmly so that the sadness she felt gradually disappeared from her.

Nindi cried herself to sleep in Ivar's arms, no explanation had yet come out of her mouth. Ivar could only look at the beautiful face that he had longed for.his eyes were swollen with too many tears spilling. Ivar kissed Nindi's face releasing every inch of longing in her. Hoping that the difficulties faced by Nindi could be redeemed by his return.

An hour later, Nindi was exhausted. Now that Nindi was conscious and opened her eyes, her mood was already better than before. The beautiful smile that Ivar misses so much. Nindi looked at Ivar who was preparing food from under his blanket.

“What is my wife hungry?” Tawar Ivar who knows that Nindi is awake. Nindi nodded. Wake up and put the blanket back together. Nindi felt awkward.

“Abang....Ehhhmmm..” Confused where to start. Nindi scratched her back feeling indecisive and a little strange.

“Say baby, why does my wife look confused?” Ivar took Nindi to sit at the dining table. His eyes did not look at Ivar's face. Slightly teary but Nindi held on, she was so tired of crying all day.

“Ak...I still want to hug Brother.” Nindi hugged Ivar who was crouching in front of her. “I'm now sure brother is really back.” Ivar smilingly stroked Nindi's mane.

“Why? Nindi doesn't believe you're coming back?” There's no answer. “Why so sad dear? Brother has promised to come back, Brother must keep the promise dear brother.” Nindi was just listening.

Long enough, Nindi finally spoke up. “Nindi fears she was born without seeing Brother. Nindi only fears her fate is the same as Nindi.” Her tears escaped. Ivar was still trying to digest the speech he had just heard.

“What does Nindi mean?” Ivar rubbed Nindi's slightly protruding belly. Nindi nodded haru. “Ya Lord...” Now Ivar is sobbing. Happiness that Ivar could no longer express in words.

“Because that's why Nindi looks full! Brother Kira Nindi happily lives without interruption Brother.” Nindi glared in disbelief. “Don't be angry darling.... Brother just misjudged.” Ivar did not dare to fight his pregnant wife young, his hand still rubbed the stomach of Nindi did not want to move. Nindi herself felt comfortable and did not refuse.

Finished with the pregnancy drama, Nindi soon enjoys Ivar's homemade food which she misses so much. Nindi was so voraciously enjoying every mouthful Ivar gave, smiling warmly as if she had received a great gift in her life.

“Dear-slow baby, no one takes your food. Hurry up and get choked up baby.” Said Ivar squashy while tidying up Nindi's slightly messy hair.

Finished eating Ivar took Nindi sitting on her lap in the living room, enjoying the fragrance of Nindi's body that she so longed for. Nindi closed her eyes and felt the comfort of being in Ivar's arms.

I won't let go, I miss your scent every night. I will enjoy it until I am satisfied. Monologue Nindi is happy.

“What is so heavy 3 months is Nin?” Nindi nodded. “I left you when I was in early pregnancy. Must be so heavy huh Nin?” Nindi raised her head.

“I am not alone, there are Papah Mamah, Kak Edel and Mas Ayman. They're all looking after Nindi. Nindi's friends in the office were also very good. Gunar.” Included Ivar's forehead is wrinkled to hear Gunar's name.

“Do not be near Nin, do you know Brother does not like.” He said with a little annoyed tone. But there's a sense of gratitude because they all care about Nindi.

“You how else, they are all good because dear Nindi Bang. Nindi was even grateful there were all of them when Nindi really needed Bang.” support Ivar this time smiled.

“Yes, Brother will be grateful to all of them.” Ivar hugged Nindi's body tightly. I kissed Nindi's head repeatedly.

“Do we not go home? They all must be very eager to meet Brother.” Ivar even pulled Nindi deeper into his embrace.

“Not today, Brother has sent a message to both with Nindi. Just this day, tomorrow we go home.” That's Ivar's longing.

“When does Nindi check the content? Brother wants to see.” Nindi counted with her fingers.

“It looks like one more week control schedule ku.” Smiling looks at Ivar. “Usually Papah and Mamah will always intersect Nindi, like a dream if Abang inter-Nindi check up.” Ivar cupped Nindi's face with both hands.

“Thanks for believing in Brother ya Nin, thank you for taking good care of him dear.” Nindi no longer wanted to cry even though her eyes were a little teary.

“Abang too, thank you for returning safely. Nindi misses very much Brother.” His words made Ivar very happy.

Tired of both sleeping together. Now that there was nothing else that Nindi was worried about, her heart was safely back. Ivar loved Nindi more than himself, seeing her in two makes it so difficult for Ivar to let go of her hand even if only briefly.

“Papah......Mah....Pahhh..” Edwin and Ellie came out of the room hearing Edel's blaring screams.

“Slow-sitter Nak, Jason just fell asleep.” Ellie takes Edel to the living room so that her voice does not disturb Jason who is sleeping in his room.

Ellie cries, seeing her beloved son make it home safely. Now that his feelings of sadness were evaporating, he was relieved to see the photo Ivar had sent so accurately describing his current state.

“He didn't even come home, he brought Nindi because he said he missed her so much.” Edel's a little upset. Usually Ivar's main goal when he comes home is himself.

“You can't be jealous son, you and Ayman are the same. Let it go, they need time both release miss.” Bela Ellie is happy even though her son doesn't go home right away.

“Papah who will pick up Hanna. You guys just rest well.” Edwin left Ellie and Edel who were still arguing about Ivar's attitude.

Rama picks up Hanna with a happy feeling, now they will soon return to the big house because the problems they face have succeeded Ivar and Prabu solve. Edwin is still waiting for news from Prabu so that when he returns everything is safely under control.

“Pah...” Shouted Hanna as she waved from the 2nd floor when she saw Edwin standing among the Mothers who had picked up her Daughter's Son in the school yard.

“Who's Han?” Asked Lula who was walking along with Hanna.

“That's my Opah, let me introduce.” Take Hanna with spirit.

“You said you didn't have Grandpa and Grandma, how did you suddenly have?” Ask Lula a little wonder.

“Long story, the point is now I have Opah La. Equally rich Mbah Kakung you who like to come when on vacation.” Lula simply nodded while following Hanna's footsteps.

“Opah..introduce this Lula, Hanna's friend who Hanna often tells.” Lula reached out politely. Edwin greeted him warmly.

“Lula is very beautiful, Lula came home to pick up Nak?” Lula shakes.

“Lula why shut up!” Whisper Hanna. Lula was watching Edwin from top to bottom.

“Lula regular round trip Opah.” Lula pointed towards the back of the school. “My house is not far into the alley there Opah. Hanna used to live there.”

“What do you want Opah deliver?” Lula nodded.

“No Opah, Lula walk only.”

“No papa La, Opah I good tau.” Hanna whispered but was still heard by Edwin. “Later we ask for ice cream yah.” Lula looked doubtfully but finally agreed.

"Hayo how?" Edwin who saw Lula's face was thinking hard.

“If not troublesome Lula want Opah.” Edwin smiled as he held his hands together.

“Let's go soon, afraid of the ice cream hunt runs out.” Edwin said while hiding his smile.

“Hanna...you were too loud when whispering.” Hanna smiled. He realized his mistake. Lula patted his eel.

Edwin stopped by the nearest ice cream shop, bought Hanna and Lula some of their favorite ice cream.

“What is enough?” Ask Edwin who also likes to choose some ice cream that looks very good.

“Enough Opah, if too much can be sold again with my mother.” Edwin wanted to laugh but he could stand it. Kids are always honest and honest.

“You don't vilify your mother. Basic Lula.” Edwin crouched down in front of the two little girls who were arguing.

"No disfigurement, I do like it Han."

“Nothing Lula stories on Opah, but not with anyone else. However, Lula must take care of the good name of Mother and Mr. Lula. Understand?” Lula nodded slightly embarrassedly. His eyes glanced at Hanna sharply.

Edwin knew very well how these children of their age got along. May often give criticism to each other and tell each other disgrace without a second thought.

“We ate for a while well kids. Opah hasn't eaten anything.” Edwin invites Hanna and Lula to stop by the restaurant next to the ice cream shop.

Hanna doesn't want to eat because she just ate at the school cafeteria, and so does Lula. Eventually only Edwin ate seafood fried rice. Enjoying each mouthful with gratitude.

Ivar has given the news of him who is currently safe and is bringing Nindi one day to let go of longing. Happiness that Edwin could no longer describe in words.

Ivar made it through the large section that confronted him, balking at doing the dirty work because of his vow that he could not break. Edwin Latif's son.
