" Aren't you back in Semarang, Bob? " ask Vera when she finishes dinner.
" Not ma. Boby's wife's son is here. "
" So, what's your construction company? You are responsible for the lives of your employees. Do not lose responsibility. "
" Yes, ma. Boby knew. That's why Boby Serahin Andre's company has Remon. "
" Not all the work they can handle. Andre is not your architecture graduate. Remon. What if there are new clients? "
" If you need a design, a picture, keep the Boby handle. Boby sent a soft copy to Andre. "
" So mama was horrified, there is a new client who wants to meet you. "
" Huh?? How did mama know? " question Boby was surprised because he felt he was not telling anyone.
" Yes my mom is horrified. Big client, right? But you got off that. "
The flash back
" Bob, you go back to Semarang bentar." said Andre across.
" I told you, I went back to Semarang, if I'd been back. "
" I know..You feel guilty for your attitude first. You don't want to leave your wife with your child. But it's business, bro. This big project. 700 M bro... Clients just want to meet you. If it is finished, you can go back to Jakarta again. "
" I can't, dodol. If you can't handle it, let's take that project off. "
" Ihhhh.gedek I talked to Lo for a long time. The client, he wants to meet directly with Lo, dodol... If it's any other business, I can handle it all. "
" I can't. I know dong. I hung up the phone first. I bathe in the padlock. "
Tut's...Tut's. Tut. call ends unilaterally.
Flash back off
" Yes, if you do not want to take care of your company in Semarang, you take care of it, the work that is here. Mama wants to enjoy her time with her favorite granddaughter. "
" Yes, you can't dong ma. Boby is here because Boby does not want to leave Novia with Athar ma. If Boby is asked to do office, free dong ma. "boby protest
" Continue, you just want to bother? If you are unemployed, your wife's child, what would you like to feed her? Huh uh??" asked Bu Vera with some emotion.
" Boby's savings are still a lot of mama. Still more than enough if only to feed the wife with Boby's child. " replied Boby lightly.
" Tomorrow who wants to go to Athar? Don't you want your child to go to high school? School is expensive. "
" There is still a hotel with our mall ma. "
Vera took a deep breath. I also talked to this kid.
" Where will be the fate of his younger brothers Athar? You want to have another child, right? "
Novia, who was near the door, was spontaneously shocked to hear her in-laws' questions. Well, it was from now on Novia heard all the conversations of the child and the mother. At first he wanted to go to the dining room. But hearing a bit of an argument, he finally decided not to go to the dining room.
" No, ma. I will not make my wife getting pregnant again. Athar was enough. Boby can't see Novia like yesterday. Just look at Novia like that. Boby will ask Novia to join the KB program aja. " replied Boby while shuddering considering Novia's condition.
" Mama's daughter-in-law will not experience conditions like yesterday, if not because of your minus behavior. "
" Ma, dong ma. Don't be ripped off again. Quite Novia aja ma who has not been able to understand it. "
" Of course, Novia has not forgotten. Because you are outrageous. Not to mention now. Mama sure, your wife must have added kelas with you because you do not want to work. Which woman likes to have an unemployed husband."
" Ma, Boby's not unemployed. "
" Now not yet. Just a little bit more yeah. Don't cry to mama if Novia chooses to leave you and reverse Candra because Novia does not want to have an unemployed husband like you. "
The deg!
Novia just smiled hearing her in-laws words.
Boby's messing with her hair pissed. Worried also if Novia left him only because he was unemployed.
Tut's...Tut.beep connected calls.
" Hello, Bob." replied the person across.
" When will we meet our new client? Not lo cancel, right? "
" Monday noon at 1. "
" All ready. I'll take the first flight tomorrow morning. "
" Ready boss. I'm sure you must have changed your mind. That's why I cancel the meeting schedule. Okay. I'll prepare the files and materials for tomorrow. I will also email you the material. Let me learn. "
" hm. "
Call ended. Apparently Boby changed his mind and contacted Andre.
Day until night, Boby just stick with Athar. To the extent that the little guy lost his afternoon sleep. Because my dad is always disturbing.
" Well, you can't, don't bother Athar?" novia protests because she feels bad about her husband.
" I'm not disturbing, which. I'm just ajakin playing. I have to go to Semarang tomorrow. So don't meet Athar with you. "
Ah, apparently Boby also has a veiled intention. In addition to wanting to stick with his son, he also wants to stick with his wife. Because he knew, Novia wouldn't be far from Athar if the boy hadn't slept.
" Kayak wants to go a year or so" Novia murmured, but still can be heard Boby.
" Ebuh. Not seeing you for a day feels like a year. "
" Beh. gombal. yesterday was not a month pa-pa. "
Boby immediately fell silent if Novia had discussed the past. If he answers a little, there will be an end-to-end fight, Novia will again silence him.
••••
Morning's approaching.
Boby's been getting ready since early morning. He will leave by plane at 7 a.m.
" Dear, papa go first. Don't be naughty, and don't bother mama, okay? " said Boby to Athar who was in his arms. He kissed Athar's face without exception.
" Dear, I'll go first. My work is good. And the project really fell into my hands." said Boby to Novia.
" hm. " Novia cleared her throat to answer without looking at Boby.
Then Novia took Athar from her papa sling. They walked out of the room.
Up to the front of the house, the car and driver who will take Boby to the airport are ready.
Novia greets Boby as a tribute to her husband. But what she used to kiss the back of her husband's hand when he was about to travel, now she doesn't. And when Boby leaned in to kiss her forehead, Novia shifted her body backwards so that Boby could not kiss her forehead.
Boby can only take a deep breath of rejection from Novia. He rubbed his face rough. All because of his mistake.
" I'm going first. Assalamualaikum says. "
" Greetings waalaikum" replied Novia.
