Look at Me, My Husband
S2 Mother of my son 25
“I know ... I used to be guilty of you, Mas. I'm too stubborn and don't want to hear your explanation. I've figured it all out now.” Naina said softly.
“That's it, that's the past. I'm not going to blame anyone for everything. No Dennis, not Mbok Sumi, not Stevi, not my mama. Then, how can I blame you too, when I'm not always right either, Nai. I just wish I was allowed close to Vienna. Just that, I didn't expect more.” The hero chimed in on Naina's words.
“Only one thing I instilled in my brain, maybe if we are both mature and unselfish facing problems, the story will be a little different.”
I heard deep breaths. Like there is a heavy burden that Wira wants to throw from him.
“Nai, I would like to ask you .. If I had chosen to be honest with you from the beginning and not marry Stevi, would you still have taken the divorce step?”
“Ya ..” Naina said confidently, not even thinking about it first.
“So that you divorced me, Nai? Even without giving me a chance?” ask the Hero chuckles. He had known Naina for a long time, of course he was sure he would get this answer.
“The household only has a husband and wife. If there is a third person, it is the fruit of love from this married couple. If there's anyone else, another woman, another child out of our agreement, it's not a household name anymore, Mas. I am not like other women who are willing to be combined, who are willing to accept my husband to have children from other women. Perhaps in this world many angel-hearted women, but Naina Pelangie is not one of them, Mas.”
“Thank you, Nai. At least you don't make me regret what I've done all this time. I also had to do it.”
“I know, Mas. I already know everything. I know, who is the mastermind of the destruction of our household ...”
“You already know, Nai?” tanya Wira flinched. All this time he thought Naina knew nothing.
“I already know that Mas Wira is innocent. I already know everything. Just as Mas thought he would not blame anyone, I also started making peace with everything. I don't want to be stubborn anymore, because there is Vienna that will be a victim of my stubbornness. I accept everything, maybe this is the path God planned for me,” explained Naina.
“By the way ... Do you know where my pregnancy came from?” asked Naina, expressing her curiosity.
“Mbok Sumi left me a letter in our old house with a two-striped test pack. That's where I know you're pregnant with my son. After I remember, before our problems arise, we also had time to discuss this problem, and I have not had time to take you to see a doctor.” Hero explained.
Naina's stunned. Digesting word for word that Wira has just thrown. A few minutes later his expression changed after successfully stringing all his past stories. He closed his mouth with both hands.
“Ja .. so previously Mbok Sumi had known about my pregnancy. He even kept my test pack.” Naina's head throbbed, not expecting the old woman who was considered her own mother to be involved so far. He only thought Mbok Sumi knew and covered everything from him, not directly involved.
Naina's eyes heated up, seconds later her tears flowed down. In the past, Mbok Sumi encouraged him to check with a test pack. The old woman was very sure she was pregnant. Even Mbok Sumi bought him a test pack at the time.
“Yes God, don't tell me that Mbok Sumi changed the results of the test pack.” Naina brushed away her tears. Given how Mbok Sumi who forced into the bathroom to be able to see the results directly. Even Mbok Sumi was the first to know the results of the check, because Naina had to receive a phone call at that time.
“Means all are planned Mbok Sumi. I remember at that moment, repeatedly my phone rang from a foreign number. And every raised there is always no sound at all,” said Naina bowed. The regrets are becoming. He could only lament his stupidity at this moment.
“Already. I don't want to bring it up again. Our priorities are the same now, Nai. I'm sure .. You also fought for Vienna. Please accept my offer. I'll have Dion pick up your car at my mama's place.”
Long Naina fell silent, trying to weigh everything. “Alright Mas, I accept Mas's offer about financing Vienna's needs. I also don't mind if Mas wants to be close to Vienna. Anyway, your daughter Vienna. He was also entitled to Vienna. For home and car problems ..” Naina paused for a moment, looking at the Hero from the darkness of the night.
“For home and car, I'm sorry. I can't take it. If my finances have improved, I will look for another more decent contract.” Naina explains. He cannot take the gift of the Hero for granted even though it is his right. Mama Wira's words are still imprinting. His life is not good, but that does not mean he has to be humble.
He felt he was still able to support Vienna and himself. He was young, needing no one's mercy, including the Hero. His strength is still strong, his brain can still think even though his diploma is only up to High School.
Naina has to strengthen her mentality in addition to needing a strong physique. Taking care of a man who has nothing to do with himself, including taking care of personal things, bathing, changing diapers, helping with urination and defecation. There are many other personal things that he must do so he must put aside his disgust, shame and condolence.
Even when sleeping he must always be next to Pieter, to flip the man's back periodically so as not to fatigue. Only he knows the hard times. Stuck in a yearning for his daughter and circumstances that are not on his side. Complaining of fate in a country of people, different countries, different continents. The ocean is so vast. All for Vienna.
Smiling hero. Naina never changed. Always hard for the things he believes in.
“Alright, I assume we agree. If you change your mind, my offer still stands. It's yours and Vienna, though. Thank you, Nai.” The hero extended his hand.
“Sama-sama, Mas.” Naina welcomed her ex-husband's hand without hesitation.
“Give me your mobile number, Nai. I need it,” pinta Wira.
Without much protest, Naina immediately mentioned a row of numbers with Wira who put Naina's mobile number directly into her phone.
“I've sent a message on your mobile number, Nai. If there's anything, you can contact me.”
“Yes, Mas. I have to go back now. Poor Vienna, she's so sleepy.”
“Yes, give my regards to the boy. Tomorrow, I'll be back to see him.” Wira smiled bitterly staring at the movement of Naina who came out of her car. The tip of his eyes looked at the shadow of the woman walking away. The further away, the more empty his feelings became. The man dropped his head on the wheel.
He was acting haughty and as if he were a strong man. Now the defense is collapsing. Being near Naina, her feelings are getting messy. Her tenacity during these three years was shattered just by hearing Naina's voice. However, she cannot force it, Naina is not a weak woman. Naina is too strong. To be honest, even a Pratama Wirayudha is not as strong as Naina Pelangie.
***
Almost three weeks passed. No more meetings between Wira and Naina. The young mother began to be preoccupied with her work routine. Learn new things in the company with the help of Pieter and Stella.
And Wira, the man visits his daughter every day at lunchtime. He felt it was better to meet Vienna when Naina was not home. At least his ex-wife doesn't feel bad having to face him at all times.
The day was like the days before. The hero got off his sports car with a food box and a doll. For almost three weeks, Wira always had lunch with her daughter, Vienna.
Smile never separated from the lips of the Hero, walking with happiness to shake every will meet his daughter. Just as his foot stepped closer to Naina's contract, he was surprised to see another familiar figure. The man came out of Naina's rented house.
“Breng’sek! What's he doing here?” aspirate. His facial lines hardened, restraining anger. If anyone is to blame for all the tragedies in his household, that person is Dennis. Although he had tried to reconcile, but every time he saw a man who was none other than his own brother, his anger was lured back.
“What are you doing here? What did you meet ...”
“Not your business,” cut Dennis. Walking away and ignoring the stunned Hero stared at his disappearance.
