Look at Me, My Husband
S2 Mother of my son 19
Vienna is pampered in Dennis's arms. The little girl chatted along the alley towards her house, telling her many things with the children's language that was not so clear. Every now and then, Vienna looks drenched in Dennis' cheeks while laughing cheerfully.
The word daddy was heard repeatedly from the tiny lips of Vienna. His face was brightly blushed to welcome the arrival of Dennis and Mbok Sumi. I don't know how many longings he had piled on these two people, which he could not convey to the mother.
"Rim, is everything okay?" dennis asked the nanny who was tailing behind.
"Good, sir."
"If you need anything or have any problems while staying here, call me right away" Dennis said.
Dennis' footsteps felt heavier when the place to go was only a few steps behind. Allegedly what will happen when Naina sees his arrival and Mbok Sumi.
"Rim, please call Naina," asked Dennis to stop his move. Mbok Sumi who was standing next to him did the same.
The old woman holding the bushel containing food in her hand was bowed. Hiding her mixed feelings. Between nervousness, worry, panic, longing and of course guilt.
It didn't take long, Rima who came in calling Naina had come out again with Naina tailing from inside the house.
"Nai ..." said Dennis first. Happy to say hello again to the woman who filled her mind and ravaged her feelings for the past three weeks.
"What are you doing here?" naina asked in a hostile manner. His view turned to Mbok Sumi. The old man looked thin and weak. Mbok Sumi looks to be in a bad condition.
"Nai, I'm sorry." Mbok Sumi stepped forward. With trembling hands handed the bushel of Vienna's favorite food to Naina.
Without speaking, Naina grabbed the bushel from the hands of Mbok Sumi. It does not have the heart to refuse good intentions, moreover it was specially made Mbok Sumi for Vienna.
"Mother misses Vienna." Mbok Sumi smiled. Vienna, the little girl who is considered her own grandson. He slowly rubbed his Vienna hair with a feeling.
Naina's stunned. It felt like throwing away these two uninvited guests, but his little heart did not have the heart. Both came with good intentions. There is no way Naina would drive out the rude Dennis and Mbok Sumi in front of Vienna. No matter how bad their relationship is, Naina has learned to be unselfish, especially regarding Vienna. He did not want to teach Vienna to be vindictive, let alone to be an impolite and ungrateful child. After all, the two people before him were the closest people to Vienna, other than himself. As a mother, she could not have separated Vienna from those closest to her who loved her.
Simply keep it yourself the reason why and why. Let Vienna not feel everything. He wanted Vienna to grow with an environment of love and compassion. Looking at Vienna, Naina's heart was touched. Moreover, seeing the closeness of the princess with Dennis and Mbok Sumi.
"I'll excuse you to go inside first." Naina did not refuse, at the same time agreed. He can't be nice, so it's best to stay away.
"Nai, we need to talk." Dennis prevented Naina's move. Rush down Vienna and handed it to Mbok Sumi.
"Mom, I'm taking Vienna."
Mbok Sumi nodded. Of course he was happy to spend time with his grandson again. The little girl he had been guarding even since she was still in the womb of his mother.
"Win, same old grandma, yeah. Daddy has to talk to Mommy." Dennis gave an excuse.
"Nai we need to talk Please give me a chance. You should listen to my explanation first."
After a long thought, Naina finally relented. "I can't take long, Mom. Speak." Naina was being indifferent.
"Follow me, Nai." Dennis grabs Naina's hand without excuse, taking the woman with him.
"Where are you going, Mum?" ask Naina, refuse.
"We talked there. It's a little personal, I don't want anyone else to hear."
"All right." Naina according. Following Dennis's steps that led him into the car. Although hesitant, but eventually Naina softened.
"I'm sorry, Nai ...." Dennis says it clean. His tone was so clear, full of regret. Sitting behind the wheel, looking at Naina who was sitting next to him still with a checkered apron.
"I beg you not to see Vienna again after this. I can't kick you out, Mom. I know how bad Vienna is to you" Naina said, staring straight ahead. Looking at the vehicle and passing from inside the car.
"I'm her daddy, Nai. You can't do this to my daughter. At least it's not fair to Vienna" Dennis asked as he squeezed the wheel. He could not imagine not seeing Vienna again.
"I'm mom. I gave birth. Of course I have a right to decide with whom my daughter can meet." Naina insists.
"It's not fair to Vienna, Nai."
"Surely, I've been being fair to you all this time. Vienna and I are devastated by you, Mom. Because cunningly. What's my and Vienna's fault for you, Mas. Why are you with us?" naina. He tried hard to hold back his tears so as not to fall. He didn't want to look weak in front of Dennis. She is a strong woman and cannot be underestimated even without a man.
"Aren't you able to forgive me yet, Nai?"
Naina shakes.
"Bringing off my grudge against my mother. Yes, Mama Wira is my mama too. He left me when I needed him. Go with other men. Leaving me and papa because Dennis's money was down. His eyes warmed up as he told of his miserable past.
"Then, you hold me and Vienna responsible. I'm the one who has to make up for all your mistakes and your past. Tega you, Mas," Naina's cerocos.
"I'm sorry. Let me atone for my sins by taking care of you, Nai," Dennis asked"
"No need, Mom. I can still take care of my family with my own hands, Mom."
"I love you ...." Dennis suddenly said one word that surprised Naina. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, Dennis would say the word love so easily.
Naina smiled wryly. "What after all that happened, you still dare to say those disgusting words. Don't you have any shame, Mom!" todong Naina's.
"I seriously love you, Nai. I've been trying to hold it all this time." Dennis bluntly.
"Unfortunately I love Mas Wira. Only Mas Wira" Naina insisted without turning to her interlocutor.
"Let me make you happy, Nai. I want to see you happy, Nai." Dennis said again.
"Unfortunately I don't want to be happy. I don't want to see you either, Mommy." Naina.
Dennis smiled wryly. Naina's answer was so painful. A dagger stabbed right in his heart.
"What should I do so you can forgive me, Nai.?"
"What can you do to restore my ruined household, Mas?" Naina asked back.
Deg-
"You want to go back with the hero? If you want to go back to him, I'll get him back by your side."
Naina shakes. "No. You think it's that easy. Destroying the happiness of others and bringing it back is that easy. How many wounds and tears. How much weeping and sadness I have. By returning everything to its original place, will your sins disappear? Your mistake will be forgiven, my dear. Can you give me back three years of this miserable run?" cerocos Naina's. Her tears are spilling.
Dennis let out a rough breath.
"If you don't want to go back to the Hero, marry me, Nai. I will use my whole life to make amends. I'm gonna use my whole life to take care of you and Vienna" Dennis bargained.
"Why be shameless like this, Mas. I'd assume I'd never heard any of this. I have to go back." Naina had already grabbed the doorknob of the car and was preparing to get out as Dennis' hand held her back all of a sudden.
"I'm still waiting for you, Nai."
"That's your business, Mommy." Naina came out and slammed the car door tight.
Naina walked back to her contract with wide strides restraining her annoyance. Arriving in front of the house, his anger evaporated when he saw Mbok Sumi who was holding Vienna and feeding the little girl.
"Nai, I also brought you your favorite gudeg." Mbok Sumi tried to talk. Naina's face was so unfriendly. But again for the sake of Vienna, he had to answer Mbok Sumi politely.
"Yes, Mom. I'll eat it later. Thank you," said Naina, stepping inside the house.

At night, when everyone was asleep. Naina who could not sleep just stared at the full moon from behind the window curtain of her rented house. At a time like this, he really missed his wonderful past with Wira.
Naina's daydream is piqued as the phone on her lap rings. Frowning, Naina astonishedly stared at the row of foreign numbers who suddenly contacted her phone.
"Who's calling me tonight." Naina had wanted to ignore it, but was reminded of the job vacancy that was sent but had not received a response.
"Don't I get a work call,” he said slowly.
"It's late .. has anyone contacted and discussed a midnight job like this" Naina continued, staring at the clock on the wall.
"Yes ..." said Naina. He finally chose to take a call.
"Angel .. It's Pieter. I just arrived in Indonesia. How you doing?" Pieter's voice sounded excited. Sneak talk at the first opportunity.
Deg-
"Angel are you still there?" Pieter's voice came back when Naina did not answer him.
"Yes, sir."
"Angel, where are you now? Can I meet you at the RD Group tomorrow? My offer still applies to you," Pieter's cerocos without pause. The man was so excited.
