Look at Me, My Husband
S2 Mother of my son 27
After finding the car in question, Naina was surprised. His car was parked right in front of Pieter's car. An uncomfortable feeling suddenly overwhelms him when he realizes that the Hero could have seen what Pieter was doing.
*“Hopefully he doesn't think badly.” *Naina is not feeling well when she remembers Pieter's kiss on her cheek. The hero must have seen it all.
Deg—
At a time like this, he remembered Dennis. For the past three years, the man has always looked after her, constantly reminding her. Dennis always asked her to take care of herself and not to reveal her single parent status. In fact, Dennis will not hesitate to go to a man who has dared not intend to be kind to him.
“Nai, being a single parent is heavy. It's not that you have to be a father and mother to Vienna, but there will be more waves and distractions than when you were a girl. Among the many men who approach you, it will be hard to find a man who is truly sincere because of your status. Most just want to have fun and consider you easy to approach or play with.”
Naina smiled, remembering how Dennis had ruined her life but looked after her and Vienna wholeheartedly. Always remind him of things he is not aware of.
Tapping slowly on the windshield of the car with the W 1 RA plate, Naina regretted her stupidity for being so unsightly with the circumstances around her.
“Mas, been a long time?” tanya Naina tried to be ordinary as the car door opened, pushed up from inside. The hero was unmoved, still faithfully sitting in front of the steering wheel.
“After half an hour ago.” The hero answered without expression. His gaze was straight forward, not even he looked at Naina who was already sitting next to him.
“Why not connect me, Mas?” tanya Naina tried to neutralize the atmosphere she was not wearing. The woman looks cold, not as usual.
“I don't want to disturb your busy life, Nai. We have no relationship. I have no right to interfere in your personal matters. Our relationship exists because of Vienna. I'm his father and you're his mother.” The hero explained while tightly gripping the steering wheel.
“Sorry Mas.” Naina bowed, swallowed the saliva. Both of his hands were squeezing on top of his lap.
“I don't like to see Dennis approaching Vienna!” The hero immediately spoke to the core of the conversation.
“Hah! You mean how, Mas?” naina asked confusedly. Raised his gaze and looked at the questioning Hero.
“I went to Vienna this afternoon and met Dennis.”
“Hah? Are you serious, Mom? I don't know anything about this.”
“She and Mbok Sumi often meet Vienna. I don't like it!” Wira bluntly.
“Rima never told me anything, Mas. I just know now.” Naina explained in her confusion.
“I'm a Viennese father, I think I'm entitled to this problem, Nai,”. This time he looked at Naina. Since then trying to fix his feelings that had been messy.
“Yes, Mas. I don't know at all. I'll talk to Mas Dennis.” Naina down.
Hearing his ex-wife calling Dennis so affectionately, Wira grew fed up. Just got my heart fixed because Pieter's work is now increasing with Dennis.
“Contact him now! I want to hear it myself!” pinta Hero.
“Hah!” Naina's aghast.
“Contact him now. Please turn on the speaker, I also want to talk to him!” heroes Command.
Naina turned to the side, observing the Hero. The man who is now with her is indeed her ex-husband, but the attitude of Wira changed considerably compared to when she was still her husband. The hero is now so domineering, bossy. Unlike the old Hero, so understanding and meek. Give him a chance to argue.
Despite this, Naina complies. Take out his phone and call Dennis. The dial was only heard a few times before Dennis's voice came out of his white phone.
“Yes, Nai. What's up?” hello Dennis. His soft-sounding voice could provoke the laughter of the Hero. The man smiled sinisterly as he exhaled a rough breath from his nose.
“Mas ... all this time Mas met Vienna without my knowledge?” ask Naina doubtfully. His eyes were on the hero.
“I'm sorry, Nai. I've been sassy. I did meet Vienna often with Mbok Sumi. You don't like it?” dennis asked, still calm.
“Bu-not so, Mas. I ... I .. can you not see Vienna again,” Naina said. He felt bad when he had to say his request. Again, he looked at the hero. The man looked smiling.
Honestly, in Naina's little heart she didn't mind at all. The opening of all the veils of the past, made Naina learn a lot. He can't be selfish and vengeful anymore. He has tried to make peace and forgive, because he is also involved in the destruction of his household. And he doesn't want to blame anyone else. Simply look at his daughter's future and happiness.
If Vienna wanted to be near Dennis, he wouldn't mind allowing the man to see his daughter often. And if the Hero has another opinion, he cannot refuse either. After all, the hero's father is from his daughter.
“Can we talk directly. I'll see you now? Where are you, Nai?” ask Dennis.
“He's with me!” cut Hero. Suddenly the man raised his voice after just now just silence and listen.
“Yes, I've heard your ex-WIFE's desperate request because of her ex-HUSBAND.” Dennis doesn't want to lose.
“Mas, I'm sorry,” said Naina softly, come talk.
“Yes, I understand Nai.” Dennis sounded calm.
“Oh yes, let me still be able to contact Vienna by phone. I promise I won't see her again without your permission. I will definitely miss Vienna a lot, Nai.”
“Ya, Mas.”
The call was interrupted, Naina turned to look at the smiling Wira satisfied. After a long time apart, only this time Naina can notice the handsome face of the Wira that shines in the sunset. Her ex-husband has changed a lot. Much more charming than when they were separated.
“Why? You regret divorcing me?” todong Wira after seeing Naina was stunned looking at him. The beautiful Netra did not even blink the slightest look at him, so she was caught off guard herself.
“Ti-no, Mas.” Naina. Hurriedly throwing away his sight.
“Nai, please reconsider my offer. Do you want to live somewhere else? I'll buy you guys a house. Don't stay in the rented again, I'm worried about you guys,” bargain Wira again.
“In addition to safer, I'm more free to meet Vienna. Not the gossip of your neighbor. I do not want to be called Mr. RT because almost every day a visit to the widow's house,” continued Wira half-joking while glancing at Naina at a glance. He hesitated to utter the next joke.
“Are you not afraid of being raided by citizens .. then being forced to marry in the village hall. The contract is not like the house we used to live in. The neighbors don't care about what we do.”
“Hah?” Naina surprised.
“I don't mind being forced to marry again.” He said slowly, barely audible. He wanted to laugh when he imagined his words to be true.
“I'll think about it again. I'll let you know later, Mom. Vienna is comfortable to live here. Already have many friends.”
“Alright, I'll take you home to Vienna. We stop by the supermaket first to buy all your needs,” said Wira, running his car while glancing at the Pieter car that has not moved since.
***
Nearly an hour around the supermaket, Wira and Naina return to the contract. Walking together felt like repeating a story of their past. The loyal hero drives a grocery stroller and Naina is busy filling it with all the necessities of the house.
“Nai, if time can be repeated again, what do you want to change from your life path?” lure Wira as the two walk towards the parking lot. The hero who was walking behind Naina, was busy carrying a bag of groceries.
Deg— Naina paused for a moment before answering Wira's question.
“Nothing, Mas. Life is a choice. My choice could have been wrong, but I tried not to regret it. There will be something beautiful behind even the wrong decision.” Naina replied calmly.
The hero can only smile. Naina hasn't changed even though it's not as hard as it used to be. The woman remained strong as she cried and shed tears. The woman remained steadfast and did not complain in times of illness and injury.
***
The journey to the contract felt so fast. Not for half an hour, a black Tesla with a special police number order Wira was parked on the side of the road. As usual, the parking attendant ran over. Since these three weeks, the young man in messy clothes was stricken with abundant sustenance. Not just the Hero, Dennis was treated the same.
“Nai ..”.
“Ya, Mas.” Both have walked into the alley while carrying groceries.
“This week .. I'll take Vienna with me. I'll take him to see my mom and dad,” Wira said.
Since getting the results of DNA tests stating that Vienna is indeed his daughter, Wira has been impatient to bring Vienna with his parents. He knew before Naina and Vienna had been rejected, and for that he did not want to be rash. The test results could silence his mother. Her mother may have rejected Naina, but her mother had no reason to reject Vienna.
He's no longer stupid. Learning from his experience, he chose to do a test with a blood sample and a swab of the cheek mucous membrane for Vienna. Although he had to silence the Viennese nanny in order to take his daughter to the hospital. At least these results are more accurate and cannot be sabotaged anymore. Only, he was forced to hide it from Naina. She did not want Naina to be offended for doubting Vienna.
“How, Nai?” ask Wira.
“What Mas sure?” naina asked, recalling how Mama Wira treated her and Vienna some time ago.
“Yakin .. I'll take Rima with me. I don't want to, Vienna is finicky.”
