Look at Me, My Husband
S2 Mother of my son 48
Trying to hide her feelings, Naina can only spill her heart while in a taxi. He decided to go to the office after finishing breakfast. His chest was too tight if he had to wait any longer. In fact, he could not wait for the two guests to return home. Too sick of being tough when his heart is sliced and needs an impingement.
Tears broke, thunders imprinted on the slightly pale white cheeks. His voice was clear, even though he had tried to cover his cries with both hands. The words of Mama Wira are re-spinning. The more you remember it, the more it pokes in your heart. Naina put aside her embarrassment, crying in a taxi and being watched by the steward.
Naina's new cries stopped as the ringing of the cell phone drew the young mother's consciousness into the real world. Swiping slowly the wet netra flushed with her fingertips, Naina frowned in surprise as Dennis' name appeared on the flashing phone screen.
“Mas ...” Naina tried to hide her stuff.
“Where are you, Nai? How are you?” ask Dennis.
Dennis's question sent back the rate of tears that had been held back. Naina recalls how Dennis defended her when she was insulted by villagers for being pregnant without a husband. Mockery and insults that are no less spicy than the words of his former in-laws. And it was Dennis the hero who defended and hugged him when it happened.
The man crossed continents, crossing oceans for him. Trim the distance of Jakarta Bandung to defend and wipe his tears. The place is leaning in when tired, the place complained in the moment of grief. But all disappeared in the blink of an eye. Dennis ruined it all with a painful truth. And now, Naina could only enjoy her fullness in solitude and embrace Vienna. Swallow all suffering alone. And fought to heal his own wounds.
“Nai, are you okay?” asked Dennis after a quiet welcome. Naina seemed to be lost to the earth. There has been no answer for him since.
“Yes ... Mas, what's up?”
“You're okay, Nai?” ask Dennis to make sure.
“Ya.”
“Nai .. I met Stevi. He is pathetic once and ..” Dennis was silent for a moment. “I think I'll take care of it. Anyway, she's the mother of Angie,” Dennis's story to the main topic.
“How can you, Mas? Is Stevi okay?” asked Naina with a hoarse voice. Concentration divided.
“No. He doesn't recognize me, maybe doesn't even recognize everyone. Seems to be having a mental breakdown. Can you accompany me to see him later?” ask Dennis.
“Poor Stevi.”
“What do you think, Nai.”
“Ya, Mas .. I will accompany you.” Naina answered.
Silent moment.
“Nai, are you okay?” ask Dennis suddenly. Ever since hearing Naina's voice, he had already been suspicious.
“Ya.” Naina replied with tears. His chest ached while receiving Dennis' attention.
“Yakin? Did someone hurt you again?” Dennis Todong. His tone stiffened. He catches something wrong from Naina. Although only by voice, Dennis knew Naina very well.
“Ya, Mas.” Naina's voice shook.
“Don't lie to me! I can even figure it all out just by hearing your breath, Nai,” cerocos Dennis. “Tell me, what happened?” Dennis Todong.
“Nothing, Mas.” Isak Naina sounds obvious.
“You tell me or I find out for myself?” bargain Dennis, his jaw is hardened. She knew Naina wasn't okay.
“I'm fine, Mas.”
“Good. Not Dennis Joseph if you can't take care of you! Don't cry anymore, I'll finish it for you,” break up Dennis before turning off the phone.

Naina's taxi had just stopped in front of the RD Group's office when her white phone rang again. Naina sighed heavily when she found Rima contacting her this time. I don't know what his daughter's nanny wants to say, she just hopes everything's okay.
“Ya, Rim ... What's up?” tanya Naina stepped into the RD Group page.
“Bu, hurry home! Mr. Dennis rampaging.” Rima told me in a panicked tone.
“Hah! What's up, Rim?” ask Naina to panic.
“Pak Dennis just called me and asked me what happened. I'm just saying that there is Oma Vienna and Mr. Wira's future wife who came to visit. And ... Mr. Dennis went berserk. Requesting a residence address of Mr. Wira.” Rima explained.
“Hah! Oma is home?” naina asked turned towards the highway. He chose to return to the apartment. Dennis never messed around. The man must have come and made a mess.
“Already, Bu.”
“Then, you gave Mas Wira's address to Mr Dennis?” ask Naina.
“Yes. Mr. Dennis threatened me, Ma.” Rima's voice sounded frightened.
Yeah, already. I'm going home now. Please take care of Vienna, Rim.” Naina runs to find a taxi. He should return to the apartment immediately. Three years of knowing Dennis, he understood everything about the man.

The sound of a knock on the apartment door along with the sound of a bell shocked Rima who was accompanying Vienna to play. The nanny who could have guessed who the guest was behind the door would make the mess seem frightened. Hugging Vienna, he chose to hide in the room and let the call go.
“LEM! OPEN DOOR!” Dennis shouted furiously, pressing the doorbell without pause.
“WIR!” shouted again.
Almost five minutes of tapping and shouting, Dennis finally decided to contact Rima. Threatening the nanny to not wince and inevitably open the door for her.
“In room, Sir.” Rima was frightened, pointing towards the door of the Wira's room.
“Where is Vienna?” ask Dennis again.
“I locked him in the room, Sir.”
“Alright!” Dennis rushed to the Hero's room. Her footsteps were wide with a hardened jawline. He does not know the problem clearly, but Naina's voice and cry are enough to answer everything. The woman he loved was hurt. And the only person who should be responsible is the Hero.
“WIR! EXIT YOU!” Dennis kicked around the door of the Hero's room so it opened wide,
The hero who had just closed his eyes and rested was immediately awake when he found that a stranger had entered his residence.
“Dennis?” wira was confused. His body has not healed properly. Stand up against the wall.
“B’jap!” Dennis stepped in without excuse. The man's eyes turned red with clenched hands. Prepare to vent all the anger that has accumulated since.
Bruk! Dennis's leg kick was right about the belly of the Hero. Straddling back, Wira had no preparation. He didn't expect to get any rough treatment from Dennis.
“Build!” he said, bending over and blocking the collar of Wira's clothes and forcing his sister to wake up.
“What the fuck is this?” ask the hero, trying to throw Dennis a hand check. He started to put up a fight.
Dennis did not reply, instead he put his fist right in the jaw of the Hero.
“You're a boy, aren't you?” asked Dennis fervently.
“Hah? Answer it! You're a boy, aren't you?” dennis asked, throwing a second punch at the corner of Wira's lips.
Brak!
Dennis was just about to come back, but Wira had kicked Dennis in the stomach until he fell backward.
“What do you mean? I don't know anything,” asked Wira.
“If you are unable to take care of your child and wife. Leave it to me, I'll take care of it for you! Your wife is crying and hurt, you don't even know anything! Are you a boy or not?” Dennis cerocos. He stood up and prepared to throw a punch back.
The punch was already hovering in the air, almost hitting the jaw of the Hero. Suddenly Naina appears and prevents him.
“Mas ...” Shouting and running, Naina hugged Dennis' body to dampen the man's emotions.
Deg— Dennis' anger subsided, his emotions shrinking as a tight entanglement at the waist along with Naina sticking warmly on his back.
“Mas, don't hit Mas Wira. I beg you,” pinta Naina grabbed Dennis' hand clenched in the air and clasped it tightly.
Dennis chuckles. “He should be taught a lesson, Nai. So that he can act like a man.”
“What happened?” ask the confused girl.
“What happened? Still dare to ask what happened?” point to Dennis, with his index finger pointed at Wira.
“If it happens again .. I make sure to take your son and wife away from here. Get away from your life. I make sure you won't be able to find them,” Dennis threatened.
“Mas, already. I'm fine,” pinta Naina with a face that's pasty.
“What happened, Nai?” tanya Wira rubbed the corner of her injured and bleeding lips.
“Nothing happened. Mas ... let's go home now. Don't bother here,” pinta Naina pulled Dennis's hand to get out of the room.
“What happened? Tell me? What makes you cry, Nai?” dennis asked a little softened.
“Nai, what really happened? Did Mama hurt you?” ask the hero to guess. Since morning, he had already seen the change in Naina's attitude.
“OH! WOMEN DON'T KNOW THEMSELVES ANYMORE! HE IS NOT SATISFIED WITH DEALING WITH ME. I'LL TEACH HIM A LESSON!” Dennis is inflamed back.
“Mas already. I'm fine,” pinta Naina half begging.
Dennis walked closer to Wira, again blocking the collar of his sister's clothes. “I commemorate once again. If it happens again .. I'll make sure to take your children and wife away from you!” threatening Dennis.
“Mas, already. Poor Mas Wira. He doesn't know anything. Wira is still sick. I beg you not to hit Mas Wira again,” pinta Naina while crying.
Dennis smiles. “If he hurts you again. Call me, Nai. I'll kill him with my own hands.” Dennis patted Naina's head gently before finally exiting the Wira's room.
“Mas okay?” ask Naina after Dennis' departure. His gaze was sad, pity to see the wound on the face of the Hero. There was a cut on the corner of the lip and a slight bruise.
“I'm sorry, Nai.” The hero immediately hugged.
“Did Mama hurt you? Why don't you tell me,” asked Wira, gently tasting Naina's temple.
“Mas okay?” naina asked after the arms of the Hero unraveled. The young mother's hand trembled, rubbing the corner of the bloody Wira's lips.
