New Breath
Chapter 29's

Nadhira left the room after making sure Reyhan was really resting comfortably. I don't know why since this morning her husband looked so spoiled. He was not even given a second to get out of bed. That is what then forced Nadhira to leave his two sons on the baby sitter. And actually all he did was sit and hold Reyhan's hand until he fell asleep.

The woman carried a pair of legs towards her baby's second room. Make sure his pair of tiny twins are also not as fussy as their father. Justright. Radit and Radin appear to be so henchmen under the care of a baby sitter. Nadhira whose intention to enter the twin's room was canceled. Not because he did not want to see his babies, but because the clock showed the time he went down to petrify his mother-in-law to prepare dinner. Yes, although in the house there is a housekeeper, but the whole house prefers the cuisine of Mama and Nadhira. The housekeeper only cooked occasionally if Mama and Nadhira did not have time to struggle in the kitchen.

"Ma" called Nadhira and touched the mother-in-law's arm. "Sorry, yeah, just got off. Mama's son end up spoiled continues to be the same Nadhira. This alone can go down, because Kak Reyhan is asleep," Nadhira explained without shame and successfully invited Mama's laughter.

"Yes, honey, it's okay" Mama replied in a relaxed tone. He knows what happened to Reyhan. Surely his first son wanted to spend a lot of time with Nadhira to pay his miss. After all, Mama had never asked Nadhira to help her either. However, the beloved daughter-in-law was always nosy to help. Then, what power did Mama forbid?

"Where is Radin, son?"

"In the room, Ma, same Sister," replied Nadhira. He has begun to roll up his gamis arm so as not to be exposed to dirty materials. Then, join in struggling with kitchen tools with Mama. Now Nadhira no longer felt awkward. The woman was quite used to it, because almost every day she helped Mama cook.

The kitchen was silent. Mama and Nadhira focus on their respective activities. No one bothers each other. Until Nadhira's voice managed to deport the quiet room with the tools to cook it.

"Ma, how should Nadhira be?" Nadhira's voice sounded weak and sad.

"What do you mean, son?" Mama's hand movement that sliced the ingredients stopped. The woman turned towards the daughter-in-law who was only silent with her head lowered deeply. It was a sad face of Nadhira. He is not sure what happened to his son-in-law. However, seeing Nadhira's facial expression made Mama sure there was something serious.

Nadhira twisted the tip of the hijab that wrapped his head. He's confused now. How could he not think about how to explain the condition of one of his sons to Reyhan long ago? Now she is confused herself after her husband wakes up and slowly improves her condition. "How does Nadhira say about Radit's condition with Reyhan's sister, Ma?"

Mama fell silent. Just like Nadhira. My mom had never thought of that before either. He also began to get confused. It is not possible that he or his family will continue to hide the facts about Radit's condition from Reyhan. Because, sooner or later Reyhan will know everything. However, to say now is not the right choice. Reyhan just woke up from a long sleep. Of course it is not good if you have to surprise the man with Radit conditions.

"Reyhan we'll tell you, Ra. But not now. Reyhan's condition is not stable. Mama is afraid that the news about Radit's condition will have a bad impact on Reyhan's condition." Mama stared at her daughter-in-law. He felt sorry for Nadhira. It felt like trials after trials were unceasingly coming to whack the woman. However, Mama is grateful for Nadhira who never chose to give up. That woman was so strong all along. "We wait for the right time, yes, son," Mama continued, touching Nadhira's shoulder gently.

The rough breath was clearly heard. What can Nadhira do now other than follow Mama's advice? It justifies what a woman who always treats her well as Mama treats her own biological child. Reyhan's condition is not stable. The proof is that sometimes the man sometimes complains of dizziness or fatigue, even though he does not do any activity. However, it is said to be commonplace by the Dharma Doctor. So, Nadhira could breathe a sigh of relief.

Still in silence. Nadhira thought that was he really created to hide great things? It's not just about Radit. He also kept a secret with Farhan. Secrets that will either be revealed when or in what way. If asked, is Nadhira tired? It would be a lie if Nadhira said no. Because, hiding something that should have known his extended family was not easy. He had to lie to them too. However, Nadhira had no other choice now. And he hopes that God and the universe will soon be willing to reveal the great secrets well. Although of course it will give birth to new pain in the Oktara family.

"Don't be sad like this, Ra," said Mama again who of course understands how Nadhira feels. He knows it's not easy to be in Nadhira's position at the moment. However, he also had to take consideration for one good of course. After that, maybe what kind of steps will be taken later. Yeah, that's later. After some conditions look better and possible.

Nadhira exhaled a rough breath. If I can be honest. He's actually quite tired. But he could not stop and give up. Everything that happens in your life requires a strong fight. Perhaps after wading through the ark of the household Nadhira got a turn to accept trials after trials to test his faith and patience. Because, when he was young he lived the day so well without obstacles. Yes, God is a try-giver. And does not every human being who breathes on this earth always get a trial? It's just that each person has his own portion according to his ability.

Now, Nadhira must realize very well that the trials that are always faced are one proof that he was indeed forged to be a strong and special figure. Because, not all humans are given trials that persist.

The woman in a pastel-blue robe wiped the tears that escaped the corner of her eye. He then looked at the mother-in-law and smiled faintly. "I'm sorry, yes, Ma" he said, again shedding tears. He often told me not to cry anymore. However, humans cannot help but cry. Moreover, a figure like Nadhira who was born into a feeling figure, like his mother.

"It's okay, honey. Mama knows it's not easy in your position right now. But, Mama's sure everything's gonna end beautifully."

Nadhira gave a sweet smile. Then he nodded his head. How grateful Nadhira has a mother. A woman who has only been her mother for a few years. However, the attention and affection he received was no different from his real mother. From Mama he got a lot of learning in sailing the household ark. From Mama also Nadhira learned about patience, how to appreciate the husband, how to be a good mother figure. And Mama, never bored and always patient to teach him about anything.

"Isn't guiding a child an obligation for a mother?" Mom touched his daughter-in-law's arm. "So, there's no need to thank you for that. You will also feel successful as a mother if your children can be a better person every day."

Nadhira nodded in understanding. Indeed, the woman who stood before him now always gave her best as a daughter-in-law. That is what makes Nadhira feel privileged by Mama.

"What the hell did you say? How serious it looks."

Nadhira and Mama turned their heads together towards the source of the voice. Reyhan was found standing with a position leaning against the wall between the kitchen and the other room. The two women of different generations smiled at Reyhan.

"Urusan women. You don't need to know" Mama said and made Nadhira laugh. Unlike Reyhan who can only snort annoyed at hearing Mama's answer. The man then moved forward towards Nadhira and Mama.

"Isn't Brother resting?"

"Yes, Ma. But, left with Aleeana," Reyhan replied without shame. Meanwhile, Nadhira had reddened her cheeks to hear her husband's answer. The man could talk like that. Holy hooch! Soon surely Mama will launch her action to flirt.

Mama chuckled at the speech of her son so innocently. "Eh, be a father, don't keep spoiling his wife."

"Lho, Ma, Brother also wants dong pampered. Don't just have the twins spoiled every day."

"Astaghfirullah, Reyhan Akbar Oktara." Mama almost screeched at her son's answer. He patted the elder's arm slowly. "May be envious of your own child."

Nadhira's. The woman could not help her laughter. He also laughed. This time Reyhan was so cute and adorable in his eyes. Let alone hearing Reyhan's words that were like groping their two sons.

"Ra, already. Now you take your husband to the room. Keep tight to shortness of breath," said Mama with a tone that sounded annoyed. He then slowly pushed Nadhira's body towards Reyhan.

"Snortness of breath, later Mama who cry shock. What the hell, Ma," Reyhan replied.

Nadhira has no idea what happened to Reyhan this time. Her husband is really weird. I don't know what Reyhan's dream was.

"Go or Mama hit?" Mama threatened by lifting the dirty silk she took from the frying pan.

"Yes, Ma, yes."

Reyhan then pulled Nadhira's hand and left Mama alone in the kitchen.

Mama could only shake her head at the strangeness of her son. "Pas koma tuh son like learning weird, deh" Mama grumbled.
