Bima's Second Wife

Bima's Second Wife
chapter 202



Bima took out a paper and pen from inside the nightstand drawer. He began to write down plans to make Lily's heart melt on him.


"OKAY. I'll make you fall in love with me again!" Sure Bima to herself.


"Look at it, Una. I will make you like me." said Bima while doodling paper with ink. Bima smiled, read some of the writings he had made and then rolled himself to the side. Not satisfied enough, Bima rolled again to the right and then to the left.


"If you were my wife. I'll make you a bolster pillow." Bima became anxious herself. Then, holding the paper in his hand, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Lily was in her room, she had just put Yumna to bed. After kissing Yumna Lily's forehead, he headed towards the balcony.


Lily smiled to herself as she recalled that afternoon when Bima brought her to eat. It turns out that Bima was poulted with her favorite food. Lobster and crab.


Lily held onto her chest that was beating so fast earlier. Then smile to yourself. For more than a week here Lily always gets the attention of Bima. He wants to know how much effort Bima will make him fall in love again like before.

Bima takes Lily and Yumna to the night market. Although Mama Ratih worried about Lily's health, but Bima managed to convince the mother.


Bima held Yumna on her shoulders, while one hand held Lily's hand. They are like happy families. Riding all the games that exist.


Yumna points towards a mini-train game. Bima and Lily approached in that direction. Since the carriage was full, Yumna could not directly board. Yumna could only wait with teary eyes with her lower lip pulled up.


"Papa. Yuma wants to go up! Going up!" he was impatient as he moved both of his legs.


"Dear baby, change it up soon! We buy that first, want to?" point Bima at a bunch of cotton candy not far from them. Yumna's eyes sparkled with a smile. He nodded until his bangs swayed.


"Na, you wait here for a second! Don't go anywhere, remember!" bima's sweat, Lily nodded her head. Lily was waiting at the place while watching some children who were engrossed in laughter while waving their hands at their parents.


A shadow flashed through Lily's mind. Like deja vu to her, but I don't know if Lily was ever in that shadow?


Like Lily once returned a girl's hand to her. Just like the kid did. Lily remembered there was a man next to her, but who?


Lily was too focused to realize, Bima had returned with two pieces of cotton candy in her hand.


"Not finished yet?" Lily shook her head while receiving the pink cotton candy.


Another shadow came back. Someone got into the car with cotton candy for him.


Lily shook her head quickly trying to return to her consciousness.


"You why? It hurt?" ask Bima.


"No. Have we been to a place like this before?"


Bima shook her head. "We're never going anywhere. Once, I went to Bali. It's also because of work."


"Have you bought me this?" point Lily at the cotton candy in her hand. Again. Bima shook her head.


"Why? Do you remember anything?"


"As ever, but don't know" Lily said.


'Maybe the memory of Una while with Azka. I never take Una anywhere first.' Inner Bima, remember the story of Adit that all this time Azka always took care of Lily. Bima felt guilty and very sorry for not paying attention to Lily properly.


The mini train stopped, now Yumna can ride and sing her happy smile. With cotton candy in hand Yumna waved at Lily and Bima.


"Mamaa. Papaaaaa.." Yumna's tiny hand waved in reply by Bima and Lily with a wave and a smile.


'Really, I've experienced something like this. But not with Bima. Is it possible Mas Azka?! inner Lily. Lily tries to remember, Adit and Mama Puspa say Lily used to be close to Azka before they got married.


Lily tried to endure the pain in her head that felt a little throbbing, but Lily still tried to survive.


Finished with mini train.


"Papa, want that!" point Yumna again at a bunch of dolls. Game throw a bracelet on a glass bottle with a doll gift.


"Want? Papa bought you a big one, huh?" point Bima at the puppet merchant not far from there. Yumna shook her head still pointing at the doll she wanted.


"Una, I've never played like that!" terang Bima whispered a little asking for his real help.


"OKAY. Let's go play there!" Not that it helps give an excuse but the words Lily mentioned the word 'papa' like magic, making Bima's heart flowery and Bima according to it just like Lily pulled it there.


"Did?!" Once again Bima asked for help from Lily, but Lily was indifferent even on her lips turned into a smile.


Yumna was in Lily's arms while Bima held several bracelets in her hands.


"Let's get PAPA fast!" exclaim Lily by pressing the word 'papa' in her sentence. Bima smiled awkwardly because she was also noticed by some people.


"Udah throw. No win nor pa-pa." comfort Lily later.


"I'm just afraid our son is disappointed that I didn't win."


"If you have to win!" lily said cheering.


"Come, papa can do it!" Lily exclaimed by raising Yumna's hand into the air.


Bima looked at the object in front of him. One jolt, fail!


"Yaaaa.. failed!!" exclaim Lily. But Yumna did not look at all sad she instead cheered in joy. Shouting to encourage Bima.


Bima who ignited the spirit then tried once more. And again, but still failed as well, of the five bracelets only two managed to circle around the neck of the bottle.


All his life he was busy working and looking for Una, then married Dena, and never thought to please himself by playing.


When the bracelet in his hand runs out, Bima tries once again, after all, to take out some money for the sake of happiness his son has nothing to lose, right? He did not want to let Yumna down!


Third try. A boisterous voice rang out as Bima managed to insert three among the five bracelets in her hands.


"Male!" bima's hand that was ready to throw the ball stopped, he turned his head and found Lily with Yumna who was hugging tightly around Lily's neck.


"Udah, Yumna is also sleeping" Lily said. Bima did not know how long he had been playing until he did not realize that Yumna had fallen asleep. He was too excited about this game.


"OK, for a moment" said Bima then quickly throw the remaining bracelet.


Hap.


Hap.


It failed!


Bima grimaced to Lily for not succeeding.


Bima only got one small pink teddy bear with a small red heart in her hand, and that was also a bonus from the owner of the stand.


Bima took over Yumna into his carrier. Yumna just moved a little and then closed her eyes.


"Your hand must be pegel, huh?" ask Bima. Lily just smiled.


"Buy the doll for Yumna." Bima took Lily's hand to the place where the doll seller had been pointed at Bima.


"Pick the one Yumna likes. I'm sorry I couldn't win the game." regretted Bima.


"No pa-pa." Lily chose a medium-sized cow doll, not too big and not too small for Yumna. Yumna is very fond of milk-producing animals.


"We don't ride the Na merry-go-round!" sesal Bima's. "Or do you want to go up?"


"No need. You must be tired if the carrying Yumna continues. We home?"


"But I also really want to ride the same way you Yumna also."


Lily felt bad to see the sad look on Bima's face.


"Bianglala but yes. It's home." Bima nodded then brought Lily towards the ticket purchase. Luckily they did not wait long. They entered and began to slowly rise.
