Bima's Second Wife
chapter 271
The new school year begins. Syifa entered first grade Sd, leaving the twins in kindergarten B.
Santi, who was in charge of taking Syifa and Yumna because they were a school, was delivered by a driver. The twins, Lily, drive the school.
Syifa looks embarrassed when she gets into her class. He's scared too. Santi was worried, the nature of Syifa was indeed different from the other three. Besides being shy, Syifa is also a little timid and whiny, so she is always the months of her two younger siblings.
Syifa kept holding Santi's hand. Several times he looked at his foster mother hoping to go home.
"Syifa, you have to go to school, baby. Be smart." persuade Santi.
"But Syifa is afraid." Santi was confused.
"Syifa went into the classroom. Mom wait here huh. I saw Syifa at the window, okay?!" Syifa shook her head holding onto Santi's clothes tightly.
"Sorry, this is a first-class room...A?" ask someone who is then stunned to see Santi. Likewise with Santi who was silent to see the man in front of him.
A man dashing in a navy blue shirt, next to him stood a girl with hair tied in two looking timid.
"Wait?" Santi was silent to see the man.
The ridho?!
Obviously, Santi knew him.
Finally, with all the persuasion Syifa wanted to enter the class with Ameera, daughter of Ridho. Luckily Ameera was brave and quickly familiar with Syifa.
Sinta and Ridho were sitting on the school park bench rather far apart.
"How are you?" ridho asked after nearly twenty minutes they fell silent.
"Well." replied Santi briefly, deep down he still kept that feeling. A feeling that is impossible to convey to the man beside him.
Ridho and Santi were friends when Junior High, they were one village first. They liked each other, but also did not dare to express their feelings. Until finally Ridho had to come with the uncle to the city, Ridho will continue his High School while working in a shop owned by his uncle. Santi felt sad but he could not forbid Ridho to reach his goal. Let that love be borne by itself.
"We haven't seen each other in a long time."
"Yes." replied Santi awkwardly.
"I finished High School back home first. But you already.." said Ridho stopped.
"Yes. I married our friend." said Santi in the end because Ridho did not go to talk.
"I knew. I'm grateful you married her, she's nice and can love you." Santi fell silent, feeling his heartache. Remember what happened a few months ago.
"He how are you?"
"Good."
Santi nodded. Not intending to be evasive as Syifa was his daughter. It is true that Yumna, Syifa, Arkhan and Azkhan were his sons as well.
"You're taking Ameera alone?" ask Santi.
"Yes. The babysitter's home, the son's sick."
"You don't work? Why didn't your wife take Ameera?"
Ridho was silent taking a breath and exhaling it violently.
"Mama Ameera died shortly after Ameera was born."
Santi did not expect that answer that he would get. Can Santi see Ridho's face turned soft.
"Sorry." Santi's great-grandson was full of regrets.
"No pa-pa. It should have been. God loves him more than he lives in pain." Ridho tried to smile.
Because it's the first day of school. Hours of study have not been done, only introductory sessions between students with teachers and fellow classmates.
Syifa and Ameera step out of the classroom and find Ridho and Santi in the park. They also ran there.
"Mother, look Syifa got this!" Syifa pointed at the red apple-shaped paper on her left shirt, where it read Assyifa's name.
"Me too!" Ameera to the father pointed at the paper in the form of purple wine.
Santi and Ridho were both happy to see them.
"Mother, let's go home!" Syifa pulled Santi's hand.
"Eh yes, you have to call first Mr. Nar dear." said Santi reminded.
"Oh yeah, Syifa forgot!" syifa said while patting her head.
Ridho continued to look at the happy Santi. His heart was calm and happy with Santi's happiness.
Ridho accompanied Santi until their invitation came, while the children were playing near them.
Mr. Naryo came, and called Santi telling him he was at the gate. Santi told Ridho and Ameera to go home soon.
