Look at Me, My Husband
S2 Mother of my son 24
The curved lips were instantly flat as the elevator doors were tightly shut. Wira's bright smile that had been aimed at Naina vanished, changing with a flat and unfriendly face.
The hero leaned against the wall and Stella chose to stand in the corner. The two of them were silent without speaking as if they did not know each other. Time seemed to move for a long time, Stella really felt awkward. Even he did not dare to sigh, cursed himself because he had been carelessly hitchhiking in the same elevator.
"From this second on, I should avoid this man so cold and horrible. Far from what I described. It's worth leaving his wife." Inner Stella. He could breathe freely when the elevator doors opened. The magic transport box had already arrived on the floor where he was on duty.
"Sorry Mas, I go first" said Stella, hurriedly stepping out. He could breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the elevator door closed.
"Hufh .. I survived. I can't imagine being in an elevator any longer. I must have died of lack of oxygen for not daring to breathe." Stella massaging chest. Their last meeting. More or less ended the same. After Bara left, Wira chose to remain silent until the lunch was over, not a word came out of the man's lips. One word that Stella could say back then about Wira. That guy's scary.

The afternoon went so fast. Evening to pick up prepare to bring a dark night. Riding his own black e-class Mercedes sedan, Dusk Wira heads to Naina's house. In accordance with the speech earlier this afternoon, he wanted to meet Vienna.
The time had already shown almost six o'clock in the evening when his car stopped perfectly by the side of the road, right in front of one of the car spare part kiosks. Grunts annoyed, as he is approached by an impromptu parking attendant who is asking for excess pay.
"It! I won't be long. Titip car!" said Wira issued a piece of money one hundred thousand rupiah.
"Each Boss. Long time is okay too. Guaranteed safe!" the young man with a shabby look said with a glittering smile. Kissing the red money hinted at the gift of the hero before being put in the pocket of his butut jeans.
Half-run, the Hero with a casual look that always looks handsome and charming on every occasion it arrives at the doorstep of the rented house. Impatiently, he knocked on the door hurriedly.
Right on the fifth knock, Rima appeared to open the door.
"I want to meet Vienna." The hero barged in without excuse. His encounter with Naina last afternoon, slightly made the man feel the upper hand.
"Sorry Mr. Naina's mother hasn't come home from work. I can't let a stranger into the house." Rima explained. He was still standing in the doorway. His gaze was fixed on the foreign guest who stood stiffly staring at the little girl he was caring for. Yes, Wira was stunned staring at Vienna. The little princess was sitting on the carpeted floor in front of the television. Vienna was so happy to play with the Barbie doll she gave him this afternoon.
"Winny likes her dolls?" tanya Wira squatting. The man in the black shirt and the white jeans joined in, entering into the imaginary world of Vienna.
"Like ..." said Vienna without taking his eyes off. Still busy with the dolls.
"What's this called?" wira asked, pointing at the Barbie doll.
"Mother ...."
"This is what's his name?" ask Wira again while pointing at a shabby doll propped up on the wall of the house.
"It's Vienna ...." The little girl answered eloquently.
"Will I buy it again? What else does Vienna want?" tanya Wira tried to distract her daughter.
"Mau Daddy ... Granny .. em Mba Lima." Vienna conveyed his wish, mentioning one by one the people closest to him.
"Wina wants Daddy?" asked the girl, she smiled happily. How not, Vienna knows the word Daddy which means father. Of course Wira thinks it's her. Too happy, the man could no longer think using logic. Where maybe Vienna knows him. Their meeting just happened this afternoon.
"Nr ...."
"This is Vienna's Daddy ...." The hero patted his chest, trying to introduce himself. The smile of the hero is so warm. Too happy when he heard his daughter say the word daddy, without knowing whose call the daddy was aimed at.
"Mrs ...." Vienna shook with an adorable face.
“Not?" ask Wira.
"Get Daddy." The little girl nodded back. Vienna had already started to cry as it stared at Wira clearly. Since then, he was serious about his new toy so that he did not realize the presence of the Hero.
Running fast, Vienna hid herself behind Rima's back. Crying while hugging both of her caregivers legs.
"It's Win, it's okay. Mom is coming home from work soon. Mother must have bought Vienna another lollipop."
"Sorry sir, you better wait outside. I don't know Father. I'm afraid I'm scolded by Naina's mother." Rima rushed out of his contract. His heart has been beating fast since. Referee on foreign guests who enter without permission. He didn't know Wira, he could have meant badly to Vienna.
"Why did Naina come home once a night?" ask Wira shortly after getting out of the rented house. He chose to stand on the porch of the house so as not to be the gossip of other neighbors.
"Mother Naina used to come home at seven. I like to get stuck on the road. Sometimes eight o'clock, sir," said Rima.
Deg-
"Don't he leave the office at five in the afternoon?" Wira monologues. As a reminder, RD Group company is active from eight in the morning to five in the afternoon.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Rima.
"What food are you ordering? Or wait for Naina, we eat out?" tanya Wira pulled out her phone.
"Can you give me the Viennese mobile number. Or if you don't believe me, can you please call her?" ask Wira. When she realized, she forgot to ask for Naina's phone number.
"Sorry Sir. I don't dare ...."
"Then, please contact him," Pinta Wira.
Rima looks doubtful.
"I'll ask my assistant to charge you a pulse" Wira said. At least he has his daughter's babysitter's mobile number.
"All right." With hesitation, Rima finally complied and contacted Naina.
Dozens of calls following messages none of which are connected and read. All phone calls from Rima ended with the voice box girl waiting.
Vienna, which began to cry of hunger, finally made Rima decide to go inside and feed the little girl. Let the Hero wait on the rented terrace in a closed door.
An hour passed, the hero almost broke up. Let alone Naina, the shadow of the woman did not appear. Time and time again glanced at the expensive clock on his wrist. Time feels long running.
The man had just decided to end his long wait. Wira plans to return again tomorrow morning. It's too late if you insist on visiting. Moreover, Naina's status, making her not free to meet. Not good with the surrounding residents, who could have thought badly of the mother of his child.
The hero had just opened the car door when he saw Naina walking into the alley while carrying plastic groceries.
"Where have you been, Nai? Why did she come home last night?" asked the hero suddenly surprised. The man was already trailing behind Naina.
"Mas, you surprised me," Naina jolted. Amidst the darkness of the night that was only darn with street lights, suddenly there was a voice calling out his name.
"New home? I've been waiting for you since." Hero explained.
"Yes, it was jammed in the street. I also stopped by the supermaket to buy diapers and Viennese milk. What's looking for me, Mom?" ask Naina. His condolences on Wira slowly melted away.
"There's something I want to talk about. I was going to take Vienna out for dinner, but the mother hasn't come home yet. I couldn't have taken it without you" explained Wira.
"Other times, my mother."
"Oh yes, please pass it on to the nanny of Vienna. He doesn't know me yet, so I'm still afraid I'm going to have bad intentions for Vienna" Wira explained.
"Yes, I'll tell you later. Want to talk now? In my house?" ask Naina.
"We'll just talk outside. I'm not good with your neighbors. They will think no more. I'm waiting for you in the car, Nai." The woman pointed to her parked car.
***
Fifteen minutes waiting, Wira almost fell asleep as Naina tapped on the car window.
“Log in, Nai.” Opening the car door beside her, Wira invites Naina in.
“Sorry, I can't take long, Mas. Vienna is sleepy. She wants to sleep with me,” explained Naina.
“Good. How was my offer this afternoon, Nai?” ask the Wira after Naina sits comfortably. The man clasped the wheel tightly. Although it looked ordinary, but his heart was racing.
“I don't know yet, Mas.”
“I'll ask my people to renovate it. Your car's at Mom's. Take Vienna back there. It's all yours. I'll finance all Vienna's needs, including her nanny. Don't worry, Nai.”
“Which passed, I've tried to forget it. Now I'm just focusing on Vienna. Don't worry, Nai. I won't interfere with your personal life.” The hero tries to strengthen the heart. Facing the stubborn Naina, was not an easy matter. His ex-wife will not be that easy to accept his help, unless circumstances force her.
