New Breath
Chapter 50's


“Call Farhan for breakfast, Ma,” Papa said when he did not see the attention of his middle child in the dining room. It was successful in making the entire room throw one another's gaze. Bizarrely. After all these years, Papa asked Mama to call the boy to join him at the dinner table.


Papa looked at Mama who was still unmoved in place with a pair of perfectly raised eyebrows. “Why is Mama silent?” ask the man to his wife.


Mama then soundlessly got up from the chair she was sitting in and moved to the second floor where Farhan's room was. Mama's steps accompanied by a sense of wonder of course. However, on the other hand of course Mama was happy to see the change this morning. Now, Papa seems to have slowly returned to what he used to be.


“Farhan,” call Mama after knocking on her second child's room door. Shortly after, Farhan emerged from behind the door of the room complete with his formal suit. The boy was getting ready to go to the office. However, there was one thing that caught my mother's attention. Farhan's face was more cheerful than before. Maybe it's because of Papa's change in Farhan, Mama thought. Yeah, Mama hopes everything gets better. Until he again felt his family warm and harmonious as before. Honestly, Mama missed that time.


“Why, Ma?” asked Farhan while tidying up his tie.


“Down, yuk, breakfast first.”


“This Farhan also wants to go down, Ma.”


Mom smiled. He took Farhan's hand and stepped. With pleasure the woman stomped one by one the stairs. Farhan could only smile at his mother. Ah, Farhan really found a warmth that he had not felt for a long time.


Between the walls Farhan paused for a moment. He saw how the look was no longer the same as before. The look was so friendly that he welcomed her arrival. It was Papa's gaze that more often seemed creepy and always made Farhan's guts sneer in an instant.


“Ayo.” Mama slowly pulled Farhan's arm and then continued. Then, join in to enjoy Farhan's warm first breakfast. Was God giving him time to enjoy the beautiful things with his family before Farhan left? Thats okay. Although brief. At least Farhan could feel how the warmth was re-hugging him. He was sincere if God brought him home.


Breakfast really went private. No sound like it was usually made there. The entire room was focused on the food that was in front of each of them. Until the obligatory ritual this morning was completed and Papa began to raise his voice after sipping water in the glass on the table.


“Farhan leaves with Papa. Brother went to his office rather unfortunate, because Brother had to go to the hospital first,” said Papa while looking at his son warmly. Although Farhan already looked more refreshed and cheerful, but he could still catch that pale face. Then, his head rewound the pieces of events last night in his study. Farhan. When can the boy be honest with Papa?


Without thinking for a long time Farhan nodded his head. If Papa could be ordinary. That means he has no reason to stay awkward. He must be more ordinary than Papa until the relationship that had been separated was back like a relationship between a father and son.


“Ya. We leave now.”


Mama smiled sweetly. Heart warms. Apparently God heard do’a-do’a. Restoring the relationship between Papa and Farhan.


After breakfast and watch the sweet scene at the dinner table. Reyhan and Nadhira returned to the room. The two carried the twins—Reyhan holding Radit and Nadhira holding Radin. They smile at their smiles. Enjoying their role as a full-fledged parent.


“Kak, I am very happy to see Papa Sama Farhan earlier,” said Nadhira opened a conversation with her husband. Although he did not look directly at Reyhan's face, because the focus was on looking at the adorable face of the baby in his sling. Nadhira believes her husband is also smiling sweetly considering how Papa and Farhan interacted in the dining room at breakfast. “It looks like your efforts to trap them yesterday were not in vain, yes.” Nadhira laughed after that.


Reyhan did not stop to laugh. True what Nadhira said, that his efforts did not end in vain. Now, he was able to reap his efforts that how grateful Reyhan now. Then, he will focus on taking care of his small family. For there is no other burden that he bears. For his Farhan has found a true home as a place to go home and complain. What Reyhan has dreamed of has been made real by God. Really am! Reyhan is very grateful for that.


“Now I'm relieved, Al. I no longer need to think where Farhan will go home,” Farhan said as he looked lovingly at his wife. He then stroked the top of the woman's head with one hand. Then, move around stroking Radin's puffed cheeks. “Now we focus on raising the twins, yes, dear.”


Nadhira nodded slowly. Reyhan's wrong. There are still bigger things he has not known. However, while Nadhira will not raise his voice until the deadline where Farhan dared to talk to his family. Perhaps now more precisely Nadhira more respect the decision of his sister-in-law. Of course what Farhan did had a reason. And Nadhira will not force the man.


“Honey, thank you, yes, have been a strong wife and mother,” Reyhan said sincerely to his wife. “Thank you for waiting for me to be back with the twins.”


Nadhira smiled at Reyhan's words. “Gathering with you again and jointly raising Radit and Radin is my biggest dream. To achieve that, shouldn't I stay strong even if the storm approaches?”


Reyhan nodded. Once again he admitted that his wife had indeed grown into an adult woman. No longer be spoiled as Bara often said to tease Nadhira. It is true, that circumstances are capable of maturing a person. And that's what happened to Nadhira.


“Nak, thank you, yes, I've been with you as long as Papa isn't there for you. Papa is proud to have you,” said Reyhan while staring alternately at his twin son. Reyhan had not expected to arrive at this point. In the past, he could only dream in the midst of the pain that every day whack for him to be a full father figure. And now God has given Reyhan that opportunity. Of course he would not waste that golden opportunity. He promises to be a good husband to Nadhira and a good father to his twin.


“Thank you too, yes, Pa, already back. Radit and Radin are also proud to have a great father like Papa,”, Nadhira said while mimicking the voice of a small child. It succeeded in making her husband anxious about her behavior. Then, he got the gift of a warm kiss on the forehead.


This morning. The couple love and enjoy time with their twins. Discuss random things and tell stories about what makes them connect. Then, they also did not forget to discuss about the future of the twins. They have made many plans for their children's lives.


“Radit and Radin should exceed his father and mother, yes, Al.”


“Of course. They will definitely grow up to be proud children like their father,” said Nadhira who praised the husband.


Reyhan just laughed. Then, the conversation flowed again before the time they left for the hospital.
