Look at Me, My Husband
S2 Mother of my son 45
A medium-sized teddy bear wrapped in clear plastic was handed over to Dennis while in the car park.
“I didn't buy you anything, Nai. Because you've been working and don't need anything more from me. I'm waiting for a gift from you, Nai. Your first salary, there's no need to transfer to me. Just buy me something.” Dennis smiles.
“Ya, Mas.”
“Don't tell me this from me. Let Vienna forget me slowly. If I disappear from his life, Vienna will be easier to accept Wira.” Dennis said with teary eyes holding back tears. Vienna is like her own daughter. He's been taking care of it since the baby.
“You want to get to the office?” bargain Dennis.
“No, Mas. I'll just take a cab. Not too far.” Naina answered while hugging the teddy bear in her arms.
“Yakin?”
Naina nodded.
“Good.” Patting Naina's arm gently, Dennis still had time to gently wipe the top of the head before getting into the car.
“Keep contact, Yes. I'll call you when I bring Angie to Indonesia. Accompany me to meet ...”
Yes, Mas.”
“I need your support for that,” continued Dennis smiling.
“Ya, Mas.” Naina nodded.
“Greetings for Wira and Vienna.” Dennis's last words before closing the door. The man decides to settle all his past grudges. Forgive her mother's mistakes, even though she still struggles to forget them. Thirty years of living in grudges, sorrows, tears, without the affection of his mother, it wasn't easy for Dennis to blow it all away. However, Naina taught him many things. Including Naina's smile today, was a whip for her. Naina and Wira alone dare to forgive his mistakes, why should he be afraid to forgive his mother.

Naina smilingly looked at the doll on her lap. He was sitting comfortably in a blue taxi that drove him back to the office. Sometimes he looked at the back window. The black pajero sports car still followed suit.
“You always have, Mas. Not once have you denied all my words. Whatever it is, even if you don't agree to it, you still support me in your own way.” Naina said slowly.
Naina's memory is back. Recall how Dennis kept him when he chose to stay in a cramped rented house. All this time Naina knew that Dennis was secretly contracted next to his contract just to keep him and Vienna every night.
“Don't be like this, Mas. I am afraid of my own feelings. I'm afraid I'm falling in love with you more. I don't want to hurt Mas Wira. He is the father of my son, I also have to keep his feelings.”
“If I could ask, I wouldn't love you. I want to be able to hate you all my life, Mas.” Naina shed her tears. Honestly, he was disappointed in himself. Why did he fall in love again? Why Dennis Wijaya?

Naina returns to the office, walking with a teddy bear hugging down the corridor. A few pairs of eyes, staring in astonishment as the young lady brought along an unusually large gift.
“Angel, are you back?” pieter's question suddenly appeared from behind Naina's office door. His gaze was fixed on the teddy bear in Naina's arms.
“From Vienna fans? My son's candidate has many fans, even though he is not even three years old.” Pieter chuckles.
“I have to practice walking immediately. So that when Vienna grows up, I can chase and beat up the men who bother our daughter. Isn't that right, Angel?” Pieter started again.
Naina shook her head as she asked Pieter for a way to get into her room. Naina's footsteps came to a halt when she saw a square town tied with a wide pink ribbon. There are two artificial rosebuds attached to the top of the box.
“That's what, Sir?” ask Naina wonder.
“From your secret admirer.” Pieter answers origin. Go back into the room, walk limp. His legs have not healed properly, he still has to undergo therapy for a long time and continue to practice in order to walk back as usual.
“What do you mean, Sir?” ask Naina. The teddy bear was placed on a vault next to his desk.
“Maybe too fast, but I'm afraid it doesn't fit or fit with you. So it's better now. If it turns out the size does not fit, I still have time to replace it.” Pieter.
“It's a party dress. I don't know if you like it or not. There will soon be a RD Group birthday celebration. I present it to you, so you can wear it later.”
“Hah!” Naina surprised. Not yet had time to give an answer, Pieter has added.
“That's on the advice of Kailla.” Pieter smiled. And indeed all of Kailla's plans, the man is very grateful when the wife of the company's owner is so supportive of her relationship with Naina.
“Even Kailla chose it for you. I hope you don't refuse any more, it's not good with Kailla. I want you to wear it at the RD Group celebration later, Angel.”
Without waiting for a response, Pieter rushed out. “There's a meeting soon. I hope you're on time, Angel.”
“Ya, Sir.”

Entering the apartment, Naina was greeted by Vienna. The little girl shouted in excitement as she saw the teddy bear in Naina's hands.
“Bunda ...” his screams, running towards Naina.
“Wina likes it, Honey?” ask Naina. Bowing and giving a kiss at the head of his daughter.
“Sukaaa ...” screeches Vienna seizes the teddy bear and runs shouting at Wira.
“Dad ...”
“Dad ...” The little girl knocked on the door of Wira's room tightly, but still there was no answer.
“Dad!” scream from outside the room.
“Rim, Mas Wira is home from work?” ask Naina.
“Since noon, Mom. Mr. Wira is sick, so go home sooner than usual.” Rima explained.
“Hah! Mas Wira hurts what?” ask Naina worried.
Rima. “From yesterday Mr in the room. Just out taking the medicine. Not eating either,” obviously Rima.
Naina's eyes are round. “Rim, please put in the room,” pinta Naina while handing Pieter's bag and gift dress box.
Half-running towards her daughter who was about to cry, Naina came calling from outside the room.
“Mas, it's me. Is Mas okay?” ask Naina, knocking slowly. He was worried something happened to the hero.
“Mas ...”
“Mas ...”
After the repeated calls never got an answer, Naina ventured into the room Wira. During her stay in the apartment, Naina never once stepped into her ex-husband's room.
“Mas, sorry I'm in.” Naina said as she swung the doorknob downwards. With just a slight push, the white-painted door opened. Vienna took the entrance first. The little girl was used to going into her father's room.
“Dad!” vienna exclaimed, trying to climb up the bed and shake the curled body of the Hero hugging the bolster.
“Mas .. sorry. Are you okay?” ask Naina. Walking slowly, he hesitated to go deeper into the luxurious room of Wira. The spacious room with a touch of black and wide glass makes it feel foreign.
“Mas ...”
“Yes, Nai.” The hero was piqued as he felt a tiny hand hit his chest repeatedly.
“Daddy .. oneka.” Vienna chattering while showing her dolls. Unabashedly, the little girl flushed down her body and lay down beside the Hero.
“Mas is okay? What happened?” asked Naina walking closer.
“My head hurts, Nai.” The hero tried to sit up. His head was throbbing from noon, his sight blurred. Almost collapsed while in the office, Wira finally decided to rest at home.
“Mas already taking medicine?” naina asked, sticking the back of her hand on Wira's forehead.
“Already.”
“Mas already ate? Want me to cook porridge for you?” naina Tawal.
The hero did not reply, instead he blocked Naina's hand and pulled the woman closer to him. “My head hurts, Nai.” The hero said spoiledly. Both of her hands were already coiled around Naina's waist. Breaking her head down, enjoying the warmth of Naina that she had missed so much all this time.
“Daddy ... Mother!” wiennese screeches when he sees Wira hugging Naina.
“Ssttt, don't be noisy, dear. Dad is sick.” Naina put her index finger on her lips and asked Vienna to stop screaming.
“Go to Mbak Rima's place, play his doll with Mbak Rima, Honey. Mommy should take care of Dad first,” Naina said to her daughter with both hands gently rubbing the sweaty back of Wira.
