Look at Me, My Husband
S2 Mother of my son 56
Bogor Safari Park.
Babbles and screeches of joy were heard from the tiny lips of Vienna. The little girl was so happy when the car she was driving crossed a winding road, passing by a collection of deer, zebras, elephants, etc, giraffes and there are many more collections of animals found in environmentally-minded family attractions that are oriented to the habitat of free wildlife.
Vienna, sitting on the lap of her mother, seemed to be sliding near the window with a carrot in hand. He thrust the orange tubers from the window slit when Wira slowed down the speed of his car when he met a herd of deer.
“Daddy ...” screeches Vienna as her tiny hands release carrots into the mouth of a deer.
Hero chuckles. Her happiness was shattered when the little girl began to remember her whereabouts. Her daughter often spontaneously calls her name when happy or sad.
“Vienna likes, Son?” wira asked, patting the head of her daughter. His gaze turned to Naina. His ex-wife looks happy sitting by his side enjoying their little family outing.
“Cukaa ...” Vienna nodded its head tightly. In the back seat, Rima sat alone and admired the horde of animals fighting over carrots.
“Daddy ...” Vienna squeals point towards the elephant passing in the middle of the road.
“Ya, Baby. It's an elephant,” Wira said.
“Munda ..” Vienna pointed her index finger while shouting loudly when she saw an elephant knocking on the window glass next to Wira.
“Mau ... Mommy. Mau ...” whining Vienna, extending his hand to Wira. He wanted to move to sit, so he could see the elephant up close.
“Do not, Dear. Dad is driving.” Naina tried to hold back.
“Leave it, Nai. Come here, sit on Dad's lap.” Wira patted his left thigh.
“Mas ..”
“It's okay, Nai.” The hero stopped the speed of his car and grabbed the tiny body of Vienna. He put it in front of the wheel, sitting on his lap.
“Cannot be naughty, yes. I have to hold the steering wheel,” said Naina.
It could be said, this was the first journey of the Wira, Naina and their daughter. For Wira, of course he wants to spend a lot of time together. Replacing the days he had missed so far. Retrieving his daughter's heart, he wants to be a part of Vienna's life.
“Nai, tomorrow-tomorrow it seems like we should go together more often. Vienna would be very happy. Next week we're playing snow in the mall near my apartment. I'm sure Vienna likes it.” The hero gave me an idea.
“Ya, Mas.”
The hero flinched, smilingly glancing at Naina. It is not usual for the ex-wife to immediately agree with her opinion without much thought or protest. Normally, Naina would rack her brain and string together many words before finally succumbing.

Satisfied around the road and see various animals, Wira took the time to accompany Vienna to play to some of the rides available Safari Park. The man smiled with satisfaction at the apparent happiness in Vienna's eyeballs. He really felt like a father. Viennese smile, his tired encouragement. The little girl's happiness is like her medicine. Vienna changed his life a lot.
Almost two hours moving from one ride to another, they took lunch at one of the fast food restaurants located in the Safari Park area.
“Nai, are you tired?” ask Wira, carrying her daughter.
“Yes, Mas. My feet have been sore all.” Naina massaged her calves while looking at Rima. The young girl is seen walking behind them.
“Come!” The hero grabbed Naina's hand and grabbed her tightly. Wira gave a smile as Naina did not refuse.
“Where are we going, Mas?” asked Naina innocently.
“Mas ...” Naina's face was red. The simple temptation of the Hero can make him ashamed of himself.

This trip is not only happy Vienna, Wira also pamper Naina with culinary tours around the city of Bogor. Satisfied around, filling the stomach before continuing the journey back to Jakarta, Wira also stopped by a kiosk that sells typical Bogor pickled complete with noodle crackers.
“For you!” The hero got into the car and handed him two servings of pickles. One for Naina and the other for her daughter's nanny.
“I can eat here?” tanya Naina looked at the clear plastic bag and a bottle of mineral water that Wira had prepared for her. It made him swallow the saliva.
“Ya, eat only. That's spicy. I ordered the hottest level for you.” The hero turned around, looking at Rima. The babysitter was busy patting the Vienna buttocks. His daughter was asleep, curled up in the back seat.
“How to eat it?” naina asked impatiently.
“There is a plastic spoon in it.” The hero grabbed the mineral bottle and opened it for Naina.
“This is your drink.” The hero put it on Naina's lap.
“Thank you, Mas.”
Stuck stuck in traffic at some point, eventually making their journey even longer. Wira's car arrives at Naina's house as the sun hides in the depths of the night. The time is 19:10 p.m. The two-story house was dark, without the slightest illumination. Beyond estimation, they'll arrive this night.
“Rim, please take care of Vienna. Mom seems exhausted.” The hero looked at the drowning Naina beside him. The young mother fell asleep. Even when the car stopped, Naina still closed her eyes. Handbags dropped underfoot mixed with food waste and empty mineral bottles.
“All bags Mother .. please bring in.” The hero grabbed the unraveled brown bag because the zipper was wide open.
He looked at Naina, his ex-wife not disturbed at all. “I haven't felt the sensation of holding you for a long time, Nai.” The hero said quietly with both hands slipping behind Naina's back. Carrying the young mother in bridal style, heading to the room. The room they used to live in together.
The memories revolved back as they set foot inside the room. The interior inside has not changed. Even all the furniture is still in place. Only their status was no longer the same. The heroes vividly remembered, their story ended in this room. The eagle's eyes condensed, two wisps of crystal liquid leaking down his cheeks.
“I'm as weak as this now,” great-grandson of Wira. His eyes were on Naina. The woman was curled up on the bed, enjoying her heart.

Travel fatigue and taking care of all the necessities of Vienna upon arriving home, forced Rima to fall asleep in her foster child's room. He woke up when his throat felt dry and needed to be watered a glass of water.
With sleepy eyes, the nanny stared at the clock on the wall. “Ah, already past midnight,” he said slowly.
Walking quietly out of the room, he did not want Vienna to wake up and cry. As soon as she stepped into the kitchen, Rima was surprised to see the car lights shining brightly on the yard.
“Whose car is it? Who visits at midnight like this?” Rima hurriedly peeked out from the gap of the house window.
When he managed to pull the curtain, the car had already turned out of the yard. Rima could not see it clearly.
“Pak Hero? What time is it? Did Pak Wira just come home or there is a thief who is stalking this house ..” Rima shuddered in horror. Imagine a stranger entering the house. Here were only the three of them, there was no reliable male figure.
“Cannot be Mr. Wira. I usually go home before 22:00 p.m. It's past midnight. Besides what she's doing here, Naina's mother seems to have fallen asleep since coming home. It is also impossible for you to hide overnight in your room.” Rima peeked at her master's room. Naina was still sleeping in the same clothes. This means that the Mother of Vienna has not woke up since returning from the Safari Park.
