Bima's Second Wife

chapter 29

I approached and squatted in front of him. Then crying. Not because I saw blood on his knee, but because I couldn't stand it all this time.

"Not papa, koq" He smiled.

"Don't cry." But I can't help my crying. I'm crying more and more.

"Remember I have a lot of meat here. He will recover quickly." he said, pointing at his knees, I can usually laugh if he talks about the meat that is stacked on his body, but that time I did not want to laugh at all.

We went home with him who was walking. Mother waved at me from the courtyard of the house, but I paid no heed to mother. I'm still helping him walk up to his porch.

I ran to open the door of his house without knocking. Habits! My mom just saw me from the kitchen. I went back to the porch with a P3K box in my hand. I used to play here until my mom and dad got used to me going in and out without permission.

Although only as much as possible but he accepted my treatment with a smile. I've cleaned the wound and put some funny-looking plaster in there. His hands stretched out and stroked my short hair to the shoulders.

"Thanks, Na. Sorry, I can't see the big Una. I have to go with my mom and dad to Surabaya." I went back into silence before sobbing again.

"Mas will not escape Una. Mas promise that big later mas will find Una again and we will be together forever until grandparents. Like mom and dad. Like father and mother!" He wiped my tears. It hurts so much. Even the thought of going through the days without him felt like I couldn't.

"Mas promise?" He nodded and took my hand and then linked his little finger with me. I smiled and nodded.

The day he was leaving. I didn't want to meet him, because I thought I wouldn't be strong and wouldn't let go of his hand later. I tried to hold back my tears with great difficulty as I kept thinking and bending the origami paper in my hand.

Is wrong! Is wrong!

I really don't remember, how else after this! I'm sure it's almost done.

I saw from my bedroom window that he was walking back and forth in my yard, and then he kept silent and stared at my window. I can see his hopeful face. Wish I'd see him.

It worked!

L succeeded?

I looked at this pink bird-shaped origami in my hand. A little shabby because I bent it and opened it again and repeated it again from the beginning, a few times.

The sound of the horn sounded soft but made me quite sure that it came from the car owned by mama and her papa.

I immediately ran out, not caring about the footwear I used to wear. My parents were near their car to escort them away.

"Mas Bimbiiiimmm!" my shout coincided with him opening the rear car door. He looked over, then a smile spread across his lips. He closed the car door again, I ran over.

"Don't forget me! Mas Bimbim must also remember the promise of yesterday!" I said a little exclaiming. He nodded in spirit. I handed her the pink bird-shaped origami.

"You made it?" his eyes sparkled at the origami he had in his hand.

"hu-um. I succeeded!" my spoken. I saw him pull something out of his pants pocket and put it on my wrist.

"You also do not forget the mas. Later mas will come and bring this too when meeting you!" He raised my origami in front of his face.

"I'll wear this too when I see you!"

As much as possible I hold back my tears so as not to fall while accompanying his departure. I don't want to make her feel guilty and sad for leaving me. I smiled, even though in this heart it felt like a black hole that was gaping wider along with his departure.
