“Sorry, I can't take it, Sir.” Naina replied firmly. Pushing the two jewelry boxes back at Pieter. The young mother looked at her daughter. Vienna is busy with spoons and forks, churning dishes without caring about anyone.
Pieter's stunned. Just this time applying for a woman to marry, but was rejected outright. He became confused himself, trying to divert his disappointment and awkwardness by inviting Vienna to talk.
“Wina still want to order something?” pieter asked slightly. Trying to hide his feelings by getting the little girl to talk.
The little girl turned her head at a glance, but then she busied herself with her spoon back and did not respond. Vienna is a difficult child to approach. It takes a moment of patience and patience to melt the heart of Vienna.
“How about we go buy a doll?” bargain Pieter again.
Vienna raised her gaze, watching the face of the adult man. Without answering, he looked back.
“Son and his mother are equally difficult to approach,” muttered Pieter in heart.
“How about chocolate pudding like last night Vienna eat.” Pieter offered Vienna something else.
Sontak Vienna raised its head. Smiling shyly, she turned to look at Naina as if asking for approval.
“Mau ...” Vienna replied slowly and nodded excitedly.
“Good. Om order pudding for Vienna first,” said Pieter. Rushed away leaving the table with a broken heart into pieces. The bud had not even developed, withering with just one word ‘not’ from Naina. A lifetime has never been rejected by women, only this time Pieter experienced it.
Before long, Pieter returned with wet hair clutching a glass of chocolate pudding. The rhyme that had returned from ordering the juice seemed to sit on the Vienna bench. Seeing that, Pieter returned awkwardly. The sentence was not even finished, Rima had already messed things up.
“Suppose this as a gift from me to you and Vienna. I can't possibly take it back.” Pieter opened her voice after she had been silent and thought. He thrust the chocolate pudding in his hand in front of Vienna.
“Sorry, Sir. I can't. Please Mr save back,” reject Naina.
“My words and feelings were ... indefinitely. There is no expired. I will wait until you nod and say ‘ya, I accept you’ and until that time comes, I will be patient waiting,” said Pieter with confidence.
“I'm still here waiting for you, Angel. Since three years ago, I have always been waiting for you. After my visit from Germany, you filled my evening prayer,” continued Pieter, smiling.

Pieter's white Range Rover is back in Jakarta. Like the trip to Bandung, the journey back to Jakarta also cannot be said to be smooth. Departing after lunch, they just arrived at Naina's rented during the afternoon.
Red sky in the western horizon. The sun began to sink slowly changing the moon that took over its duties. The streetlights began to glow brightly, Naina who was holding Vienna, immediately said goodbye to Pieter when the car they were riding stopped perfectly.
“Pak, thank you.” Naina said politely.
“I thank you, Angel.” Both acted as if nothing had happened. Although initially awkward, over time they can act mature and professional.
“I'm sorry, Mr.” Naina said goodbye while pushing the car door with fatigue. The position of Vienna sleeping in her arms made the young mother difficult.
Just now the car door was wide open, even he had not had time to go down. Naina is shocked by the presence of the Hero in front of her. The handsome man was already standing gallantly with Gucci's black t-shirt and ripped jeans in dark blue. Current appearance and follow the trend development.
“Nai, you just got home?" That masculine voice sounded so soothing. Even Wira did not give his ex-wife a chance to refuse when Wira slipped her hand behind the back of her little daughter. Take over that little girl who's still asleep.
“Mas, have you waited a long time?” ask Naina wonder. His view turned to Pieter. His superior sat next to him with a look of wonder.
“Soften ago. I thought you guys would come in time.” Wira rubbed the back of Vienna that was lying face down on his chest. The head of his little princess was leaning spoiled on his shoulders.
The vision of the hero is on Pieter. A smile was offered before opening his voice to say hello.
“Pak Wira, how can it be here?” Without further ado, Pieter immediately asked a question.
“I want to meet my daughter, Vienna,” firmly Wira. He chose to be frank after knowing many things about Pieter including the former casanova's lunge. Jack has also sent him a lot of information including Pieter and Naina's relationship while in Austria.
As the ex-husband who was once in charge of Naina, of course he was devastated when he found out everything. Until Naina has to take the job, it means Naina's life is not easy. No one wants to accept such a heavy job unless they are forced to. Unlike those who work in the medical world, who are accustomed to.
Moreover, what is taken care of is the opposite sex who is still young. Unimagined by Wira, Naina must live such a heavy life in the land of people. No one, can't complain, can't complain. Just listening to it made the heart cry, especially Naina who lived it for a year.
Soon Pieter follows down, chatting briefly with Wira and Naina before finally saying goodbye.
“I'm sorry.” Pieter smiled. He walked over, whispering something to Naina.
“You owe me an explanation, Angel. I'm waiting for your story, tomorrow.” Pieter said slowly.

“How was your trip?” ask Wira. He chose to sit in a plastic chair in the living room of Naina's contract. A glass of warm tea is served with a bollen banana that Naina bought while on the trip. The rented door was deliberately opened wide, so as not to cause slander. Naina doesn't want to cause trouble where she lives.
“Good, Mas.” Naina drops the body on the plastic chair right across from Wira.
“I'm renovating the house. Once you're done, move in with Vienna there. It would be more comfortable if you stayed there. I can also relax, Nai.” The hero opened the conversation.
Naina's speechless.
“I talked about it with Mama yesterday while visiting there with Vienna. Mama also agrees that you and Vienna live there.”
“About the car, I also told Mama. He doesn't mind. You need it too. It would be more convenient to carry Vienna with private vehicles than public transport.”
Naina just stared without speaking. His tongue was clumsy, unable to answer. Logically, what the hero says is true, but he must consider it again.
“I'll consider again. Drink it first, Mas.” Naina.
The silent voice in the living room was piqued as the screams of a dreaming Vienna. Crying and shouting calling Dennis repeatedly.
“Daddy ...”
“Daddy ... huaa .. daddy ...” Vienna awoke from her sleep. Crying and screaming at the same time.
During his two days in Bandung, he did not communicate with Dennis. Usually the man would contact Vienna daily via Rima's cell phone.
Naina and Wira rush inside to ensure Vienna's condition.
“Why? What happened to Vienna?” ask the panicked hero. Naina hurriedly hugged her daughter's tiny body and whispered soothing words.
“It looks like Vienna is dreaming,” said Rima, along patting the back of Vienna who began to fall asleep again.
“Oh ...” The hero breathed a sigh of relief. “Yes already, then, I'll excuse you, Nai. If anything happens to Vienna, please let me know.” Serenity.
