Look at Me, My Husband
S2 Mother of my son 17
“Ma ...” saya Naina. He hurriedly stood up and kissed the back of Mama Wira's hand that had just come out from inside the house. Slightly bowing, Naina was like being slapped by a shadow of the past. His habit was when he was a son-in-law in this house.
“How are you, Ma?” naina continued, asking gently as usual. He chose to open the conversation after seeing Mama Wira did not react.
“Good ...” The middle-aged woman with negligee batik answered briefly while researching Naina from head to toe. His gaze turned on Vienna and Rima, then frowned keeping his curiosity. There were many questions running through Mama Wira's mind. All sorts of bad thoughts were dancing around, spinning in his brain. Especially when the look in his eyes was fixed on the little girl in a pink dress, hugging the shabby doll.
“Win, let's kiss Oma.”'s hand Naina asks her daughter to do the same as she did before. The little girl complied. With the guidance of the mother, Vienna reached the hand of Mama Wira.
“This is Vienna, Ma. My daughter and Mas Wira.” Naina introduces Vienna as she grabs the tiny body of Vienna to stand nearby. Without further ado, he introduced Vienna honestly.
Mama Wira flinched, so did Papa Wira. The old man who also received the same treatment from Vienna, but Papa Wira chose to think positively and did not want to guess. Although inwardly thought when he saw Naina coming with Vienna. It was not that all this time he did not know how the Hero was looking for both of them.
“What? How do you mean, Nai?” Mama Wira dropped her buttocks violently on the sofa right across from Naina and Vienna. His pitch-black net skinned Vienna in even more detail.
“This Vienna Pelangie Wirayudha. My daughter and Mas Wira.” Naina clarifies the identity of her daughter.
Long silent, Mama Wira observed the little girl whose appearance was so simple. Although both clothes are clean and neat, it seems that Naina's life is much different than when she was a wife of Wira.
“What's up here, Nai?” mama Wira asked out her head, staring into the courtyard of the house. He is trying to find out more about his ex-daughter-in-law.
“Taxi ride, Ma.” Naina replied without the slightest suspicion.
“Oh ...”
“Along time not visible. Where have you been all this time?” ask Mama Wira to investigate.
“I work in Austria.”
“Wah, what work is there? Aren't you just graduating high school, can you get a good job?” mama Wira asked half mockingly. Since then, Mama Wira's attitude has looked different. Naina barely recognized the woman in front of her. Like meeting a stranger. Even Mama Wira didn't talk about Vienna at all.
“My master is paralyzed, Ma. I took care of it while in Austria,” said Naina bowed. His two hands were squeezing each other over his lap. Vienna is getting uncomfortable, occasionally whining at Naina and Rima, her nanny. The little girl was no longer at home.
“Even not comparable to Nola,” Inner Mama Wira observes Vienna unblinking. The whimper of Vienna slightly bothered the old woman.
“Sorry, how was it?” Mama Wira jerks. Just realized that he had ignored his guests.
“I ...” Naina looks hesitant to tell the meaning of his arrival. Mama Wira's friendly attitude made her regret to visit the residence of the Wira's parents. They seem not to be well received.
“By the way ... what's the need to come here?” ask Mama Wira ketus.
“Em .. I went to our old house to find Mas Wira.” Naina answered hesitantly.
“Cih! Must be troubling Wira. So crafty! Intentionally using this child to melt the heart of the Hero. Back when he got divorced, he forgot how he behaved to Wira. And now that Wira has succeeded, has everything, she comes with her daughter to hold her accountable. Too late. It must be a hard life, so expect the mercy of the Hero." Mama Wira spoke in her heart. His facial expression was really unpleasant.
Papa Wira has since chosen to be silent, not to engage in chat. The old man paid more attention to Vienna. His heart was full of staring at the little girl. Although 70% of Vienna goes down the face of its mother, but the pointed eyes and nose is a derivative of the Hero.
"When will I return, Ma?" tanya Naina tries to be ordinary despite being able to catch the spirit of Mama Wira who does not like her arrival.
"Wira's still a long time there. He has a job in Hong Kong. What is the need for Wira, Nai? I hope you don't bother the Hero anymore. My son is happy. Already have a life of its own. Even soon want to get married," insisted Mama Wira lied.
"Don't expect to go back to Wira. It won't be that easy. After you have shown it, now suddenly want to return with a child whose origins are not clear. You think we'll be that easy to trust you. You could have studied with Stevi just to pursue a luxurious life with Wira."
Naina tight-lipped. Guilt attacks him instantly.
"Ma, Pa, forgive my stubbornness first. I know everything, I know I'm guilty of Mas Wira, of Mama and Papa. I'm selfish." Naina down.
"Of course, our family forgave you. You can go now. If the Wira returns to Indonesia, I will inform you of your arrival, Nai," said Mama Wira evicted.
Deg-
Mama Wira's words were quite clear, even Naina was not given a chance at all.
"Sorry Ma, Pa, if my arrival and my daughter have disturbed the peace in this house. I didn't mean to disturb Mas Wira. Just wanted to introduce Vienna to his family, to his father."
"Alright, I'll pass it on to Wira later. Hopefully she still remembers you and ... What was your daughter's name?" mama Wira asked, being cold. Her net was staring intently at Vienna, who was getting sleepy in Naina's arms.
"Vienna."
"The thing is you used to have a hard time getting pregnant. Every pregnancy is always a miscarriage. And now that you're divorced, you suddenly come with a little boy. It just feels weird to me, Nai." Mama Wira commented.
"Alright Ma, I'll say good first then." Naina says goodbye home. He can't stay here anymore. His presence was not expected. Even Mama Wira accepted it by force.
Walking out of the Wira's parents' residence, Naina hid her shattered feelings. Not enough humiliation inside, when he was about to step out he still had time to hear the words of Mama Wira addressed to him.
"Pa, I'm not sure it's Wira's daughter. It could be that she got pregnant out there and claimed it was a girl's son in order to be back again like before. Now, our son is different. Successful and respected. Any woman would definitely fight to be his companion. Including his ex-wife," said Mama Wira.
"I can't believe what he said. Don't-don't, he's not that different from Stevi. I'm going to ask the girl for a DNA test on the kid. A clear test to make sure that the child is correct. Three years wandering out there, it could have been someone else's daughter and she bestowed it with Wira," Mama Wira's cerocos in a loud voice. The woman did it intentionally. She hoped Naina could hear it.
"After they divorced, I realized that Naina was nothing. Our son can get a much better wife than Naina" said Mama Wira again.
