Look at Me, My Husband
S2 Mother of my son 22
Stunned for a few seconds, Naina regained her senses after Wira cleared her throat slowly. The two gazes were locked, staring at each other in silence. Surprised it was not only Naina's, the heart of Wira was no less rumbling.
"Mas ... Wira ...." Naina's lips whispered softly calling out the name of the owner of the expensive sneakers. His tongue was weak, his brain was dead. He could not say another word at their first meeting after three years of separation.
Still in the same position, Naina froze without even thinking about hurriedly standing up. Naina's thoughts are muddled due to an accidental meeting, which was also unplanned beforehand.
"Eh." The hero cleared his throat for the umpteenth time, trying to resuscitate Naina. Then, he turned his gaze to Bara. Trying to cover the nervousness that controls him. He doesn't want his feelings to be read by anyone.
"Bro, how are you?" ask the Hero to Bara. He stepped aside to the side, passing Naina who was still crouching with a pile of files. Do not want to linger to be a spectacle of all the eyes in the meeting room.
"good. Any where to? I thought you were still in Hong Kong." Bara stood welcoming Wira with hugs and pats on the back. He tried to neutralize the awkward situation that had lasted a few seconds ago. As a cousin, he knows the story of the messy Wira household and of course he wants all to look professional without being distracted by personal problems.
"Good." The hero pulls the chair right next to Bara. Opening the sunglasses that had adorned his face since earlier, Wira frowned as she looked at Pieter. The man was sitting right across the table.
"Include .. This is the new Pram representative. Pieter's." Bara. He got acquainted a few minutes ago, exactly.
The hero thrust his hand. "Pratama Wirayudha of PW Group. Just call me a hero like everyone else." The hero introduced himself.
"Pieter Adrian, Pram's deputy. Just call Pieter." Pieter welcomes the hand of Wira while smiling.
"Pram not present?" ask Wira wonder. Looks like a man with a different outfit himself compared to other meeting participants was circulating views around the room. Again, his gaze was fixed on Naina.
"Not to be searched. Pram's got business outside. He called me this morning." Bara explained.
Naina, who was beginning to master the situation, walked down towards Pieter. He did not even dare to raise his eyes.
"This is my assistant, Naina Pelangie. Just call Naina or Nai." Pieter introduces Naina to Bara and Wira. Of course, Angel's call was just his. He won't allow another man to call Naina like her.
"Navio ...." Bara tried to make small talk. Looking at Naina's spirit, it seemed that the woman was unwilling to open up her personal problems here.
"Naulina." Naina greeted Bara's hand awkwardly.
Naina's heart skipped a beat during Vira's turn. The woman's palm felt cold and wet with sweat.
"Wirayudha. Call MR. WIRA." The hero thrusts his hand, trying to look ordinary.
"Maomi ...." Shakily welcomed the hand of the Hero. The touch of the hand did not last long, the two hurriedly took off at the same time. Stiff and awkward mastered instantly.
Bara immediately nudged Wira's elbow to make the atmosphere melt. "How's your new company?"
"Nr ...." The hero stuttered, looked at Bara and smiled. "good. Just started walking."
The conversation halted as Stella walked into the meeting room. Instantly both corners of Bara's lips were pulled upwards when she saw Stella who appeared graceful walking over and greeting them both.
"Mas Bara, Mas Wira .. sorry Mr. Pram can not attend." Stella handed over some of the files left behind to Pieter.
"It's okay." Bara gave a smile, looking at Wira and Stella alternately.
The man who planned to bring his cousin closer to the former brother-in-law even forgot that there was an ex-wife Wira with them.
"Hows it? You've been trying to talk and find out about Stella?" tanya Bara whispered softly in the ears of the Hero.
"I don't have time to take care of anything personal. My brain is already full of job contracts." Hero explained.
"You don't know Stella yet. If you want to open up a little bit of your feelings, I'm sure you won't let go."
"Look at it later." The hero tries to refocus. The man briefly glanced at Stella who was walking out of the meeting room. The girl's look is graceful. Her clothes were polite and seeing her body language, Stella was a good girl.

"Angel, are you okay?" ask Pieter in the middle of the meeting.
"Huh?" Naina flinched and raised her gaze.
"I'm fine." Naina ventured to steal a glance at the Hero who was sitting right in front of her.
"He didn't even look at me at all. I need to talk to him. This is my chance to introduce Vienna to her and apologize." Naina bathes. Hurriedly averted his eyes.
Naina really had to brace herself to be able to talk to the Hero. Seeing the cold attitude of Wira to him, he was actually not sure. These three years brought many changes to her husband's manta. Naina nyarins does not recognize, a warm man who is always pounding love and affection every time it turns cold and untouchable.
An hour and a half was locked up in a meeting room with discussions that were still very new to Naina. The woman was able to breathe a sigh of relief when Pieter ended the meeting and greeted Wira, Bara and one of the representatives of the other companies who participated in the meeting.
"Sir, would you excuse me to go to the toilet for a second. I'll be back here later, tidying up all those files." Naina pointed towards the documents piling up before Pieter. The tip of his eyes followed the movements of the Hero who was pushing the door of the room and preparing to step out.
"Yes already." Pieter unsuspecting nothing at all, invited his assistant.
With a hasty step, Naina follows the steps of the Hero who walks hand in hand with her cousin. Slightly annoyed as the man approached Stella who suddenly appeared from the direction of the elevator.
“Mas, have you finished the meeting?” stella asked Bara.
“Ask me or ask him?” seductive Bara sees the timid Stella.
“I'm serious Mas. I'd like to ask Rania for permission to visit the grave of Ms. Brenda." Stella blunt.
"When?" ask Bara.
"This week ...."
Looking at Bara and Stella's chat, Naina did not waste the opportunity. Putting aside his embarrassment, he tried to get Wira to talk.
"Mas .. uh I mean Mr. Wira. Can we talk to you for a second?" asked Naina, suddenly stood up to the steps of Wira. He fell down with his hands squeezing each other. Honestly, she could not afford to look at a handsome man who was none other than her ex-husband.
Silent moment. Bara who had not had time to answer Stella's questions turned her eyes to the ex-husband in front of her.
"alright. Where are you going to talk, Miss Naina Pelangie?" ask Wira.
"I don't have much time. I have to see my daughter, VIENNA," said Wira.
Naina surprised. Instantly raised his gaze.
"Mas Wira knows everything?" Naina's face was full of questions.
"Bro, I'll excuse you. There's something I need to talk to Naina's mom." Without waiting for an answer, Wira pulls Naina's wrist to follow in her footsteps.
"I'll excuse you, Ste." The hero half dragged Naina into the elevator with him.
Pieter who saw from a distance could only keep the question in his heart. He just came out of the meeting room. Troubled walking with crutches in his right hand.
