Look at Me, My Husband
S2 Mother of my son 11
“I don't know yet, Mas.” Naina answered briefly. It never implied the slightest in his mind to introduce Wira to his daughter. He just hopes Wira is happy with his new life. Like he who also fought for the happiness of Vienna.
Parting is the choice and this is the path to go without complaining. Like grief, crying or laughter of course he must accept all. Live without protest at anyone including God.
“You have no pity on Vienna?” ask Dennis again.
“Maybe later, Mas. Not now.” Naina throws a slow answer, barely audible.
The tears were flowing more and more. The wipes on Naina's hands were getting wet.
“Don't cry anymore. One day you will have to introduce him to your ex-husband. I can't force. That's your decision, Nai.” Dennis spoke softly as he patted Naina's trembling shoulders.
“I'm not ready to meet him. I'm afraid I'm wavering, Mom. I've decided not to go back to her until anytime.” Naina said softly.
Dennis smiled wryly. Almost three years close to Naina, she knew clearly how the stone head of the woman sitting by her side was. Every time Naina has decided, there will never be a word no. Even she knew, Naina was sometimes too kind to herself.
“I just feel sorry for your daughter,” Dennis said. The man had already prepared himself at any time Naina knew the truth. It has prepared the heart if all its decay in the past will be exposed.
Vienna's presence in Dennis's life brought a lot of change for the man. His grudges and heartache for the past are slowly eroded by the embrace of a little girl who is nothing but a victim of her own past grudges. Every time he saw the innocent little girl's smile, his heart was pinched. Haunted by endless guilt.
If Naina decides to go back to Wira, she doesn't mind. But Naina was too hard-hearted to get this far. That's what Dennis could've caught as long as they were close. Dennis was convinced that if Naina knew the truth, it would still be difficult for the woman to decide to return to Wira.
“Not everyone is destined to live up to what he expected. I want to enjoy every difficulty of life that God has outlined to me.” Naina said confidently.
“This is the path I chose. I will make Vienna happy with my own hands. One day quite Vienna knows who her father is,” continued Naina still with her stubborn attitude.
Dennis is speechless. The man returned to run his car, driving at a speed that was splitting the congested streets of the capital.

RD Group meeting room.
Wira was seen accompanied by his assistant William sitting around the meeting table with the owner of RD Group, Reynaldi Pratama and several staff. Seen his cousin, Barata Wirayudha who was also accompanied by Dion listened to what one of the staff said.
RD Group as the winner of the tender from the mega project Halim Group cooperated with Bara and Wira companies to participate in the project of building dozens of international standard hospitals spread across several major cities in Indonesia.
The meeting was attended directly by the owners of the company who had previously known each other was running smoothly without obstacles. For Wira company, this is their collaboration with one of the leading property developer and real estate companies in Jakarta. While his cousin's company was often involved with all RD Group projects. Bara company that is more focused on interior design has been running with RD Group since ancient times. Even while still led by Riadi Dirgantara.
Two hours locked inside the meeting room discussed the project with fantastic numbers. The meeting finally ended at lunch.
“Next month it is likely that this project will be handled directly by my new representative.” Pram stood up while greeting the Hero sitting nearby. Alternately greet the Bara sitting across the table.
“Wow! There's a change of position, huh?” ask Bara. The conversation after the meeting was dissolved was more relaxed.
“I'll introduce it later. How about we continue our chat with lunch together?” tawar Pram's. Looking at Bara and Wira alternately.
“I'll come, Mr. Pram.” The hero who was not too close, still greeted with a formal call. Moreover, his age is considered the youngest among the others.
The woman who walked out first was startled by a baby boy who crawled in an uncertain direction. The cute baby suddenly grabbed her shoes. Then hugged both of his legs tightly. Trying to stand with trembling legs.
“Da .. da ... dih!” babble the baby with a mouth wet with saliva. Her expression was cute and adorable. The stucco baby looked fat, laughing up at him.
From a distance a girl in a blue uniform ran over.
“Kent!” he shouted, distracting the hero. Pram and Bara who are still left in the meeting room are not aware of the presence of funny creatures, who can steal the heart of anyone who sees.
“Kent? Your name's Kent?” ask Wira. He leaned over, grabbed the body of the tiny baby who could not walk and carried it into a sling. For the first time, after many years of separation from Nola, he held a child again.
“Da .. da ... dih!” The little baby was back chattering while patting slowly the handsome face of Wira.
There was a greeting, sad attack while hugging a baby named Kent. She recalls being pregnant with Naina when she left him. He spent the growth and development of his daughter, known as Vienna. She missed the chance to see her daughter born into the world, missed her daughter's crying voice every night, missed her diaper changing moments, missed her little girl learning to crawl and learned to call her papa.
Many beautiful things were missed, even he only realized the presence of his daughter yesterday. I don't know who to blaspheme. Sometimes he felt God was unfair to him. When he was married to Naina, God seemed to close his eyes to prayers that wanted a child. But when he separated, fate seemed to make fun of him. Presenting a sweet and beautiful daughter but can not be touched. He could only kiss and hug a picture of Vienna on his phone.
“Kent!” Pram was shocked when he saw his son, Kentley who was in Wira's sling. Pram could clearly see his son's saliva wetting Wira's shoulders wrapped in a black suit.
“Da .. da ... dih!” Baby Kentley chattered happily when he saw Pram.
“Sorry Mr. Wira, it's been a hassle,” said Pram feel awkward. Hurrying to take over his son. The man's eyes were rounded, staring intently at Kinara, his son's nanny who was standing frozen in place.
“Oh it's okay, Mr. Pram. His son is so funny.” The hero smiled, gently rubbing Kentley's thick hair before walking towards the elevator.
“You see Pram. He's pathetic, right?” Bara who tailed behind Pram also commented.
“How about our previous talk. I'm interested in setting her up with my ex-sister-in-law. Looks like they fit,” continued Bara.
“Stella?” tanya Pram.
“Bara nodded. “What do you think?”
“I'm not following along. Just taking care of Kailla, my head almost broke. You see for yourself, my son has wandered to the meeting room. I'm sure my other son's fate isn't much different. Don't-don't Bentley has reached the office parking lot.” Pram chuckles.
“But I've prepared two nannies. I'm sure Kailla is busy looking for my other son at the moment,” Pram continued.
“How can it?” ask Bara wonder.
“What can't Kailla do?” Pram laughed out loud.

The author revised the age of Vienna to 2.5 years. Once calculated, Vienna should be 2.5 years old now. When Naina left for Austria, Vienna was 1.5.
