Back to the present.
"Why haven't you been here, Bun?"
"Papa's working out of town. Later if you have come home, you must come here" I replied gently.
I was sitting in the living room with Aithan, accompanying her to a cartoon after lunch. When he told me about his nightmare, I was preparing lunch for the two of us.
If this afternoon it was only me and Ai who were at home. I just finished my graduation a few months ago. And now I'll just focus on taking care of Ai. Maybe later if Ai has entered the playgroup I will try to open a business.
"Mother," he called out suddenly. I who was daydreaming woke up and looked down. Ai's position is lying on my thighs.
"Yes, baby" I replied with a hand that gently stroked her hair.
"Can I ride a bike?" tanyakanya. This must have been because he saw an advertisement showing a child playing a bicycle. So he remembered back.
I smiled shadyly at her, "May, but wait Ai is 3 years old huh."
"Why not (now)?" his headset with raised lips. I became worried about myself with his behavior.
"Papa said Ai can only ride a bike when he was 3 years old right? Ai forgot yes," I said by poking her nose softly.
"I did not forget. But Ai has not sabal (patience) want to ride a bike," he replied still with a frown.
"Study patience yes. Not everything Ai wants should be there right now," I said understandingly.
He nodded weakly and went back to watching his favorite cartoon. Not that I don't
allow him to ride his bike at this time. But Ai's physical condition, unlike other children, made me have to be firm. When I was 7 months old I fell in the kitchen, and because of the impact that was hard enough to not want my baby to be taken out immediately. Although Ai must be treated in an incubator at least she can still be saved.
"Mother," call him back. This time he changed his position to sit down. "Ai kangen Papa," he continued.
"Papa's work, baby" I replied.
"Why don't we stay baleng (bareng) Papa aja Bun anyway?" ogre.
During this time it was "Papa" Ai who always visited here. If I could I'd rather stay with him than live here. Since Ai was able to talk this time she asked this. My heart fluttered when I heard him ask like that.
"Later, if you don't get out of town often" I said with tears in my eyes. Lies. That word is completely a lie. I can't tell him the truth.
Ai looks lethargic again. "How about we try to call Papa?" my rayuku.
He straightened his body and again saw a look of spirit in his eyes. "You, Ai want to call Papa" he replied with a passionate voice.
"But Mommy doesn't know Papa is busy or not. If for example Papa does not answer Ai should not be sad, yes" I said softly.
"Yes Mother."
Then I grabbed my phone on the table. Find the number and press the call button. Just ringing first, he's already answered my phone.
"Hello."
" Are you busy? Ai kangen is the same as you," I said and glanced at Ai who looks sparkling because
hearing the voice of his father.
"No. Where is my hero" he replied excitedly. I immediately changed the phone line to a Video call connection and pointed my handphone in front of Ai's face.
"Papa," Ai screeched as she looked at her face.
"Hello papa's hotshot."
"Papa when will he come home," Ai asked in a sad tone.
"Papa's Day is home."
"A long time," said Ai.
"When Papa comes home, Papa brings Ai a present."
Ai smiled widely again. "Benel (gener) yes Pa. A lot of yes."
"Can't do that" I said. He nodded because of my words.
"David!" my growl. "Later Ai's habit of asking for this is the same as you."
David's? Is correct. You don't see or hear wrong. The person who has always been called Papa by Ai is David.
You must be wondering why David got the call, right? We don't have any relationship.
Long story short, when I was 3 months old and finally everyone knew if I was pregnant at that time a big problem came.
FLASHBACKS
"Whose child are you carrying?" chirps Celine.
I'm the one who got hurt, why is he suddenly amnesiac? It was obvious this was his son Mas Adnan why he suddenly asked like that.
"Yes Mas Adnan's son" I replied loudly in front of everyone who was here.
"I'm not sure" he said back and stood up from his seat.
"You have 3 months? If that's Adnan's son, why don't you tell him? Obviously he's been conscious for a long time" he said lightly and circled me.
"A-a-i.." Why did my tongue suddenly become confused?
"That must be your son's the same as you, right?" the accusation.
I glared at him. People looked at me with different eyes. "So. I never cheated. This is Mas Adnan's son" I replied as I hugged my own stomach.
"Whoa. Maling mana want to ngaku," Mother chimed in with her cynical tone.
I shook my head violently and looked at Mas Adnan who was still sitting quietly with no expression on his face.
"This is your son. You believe me, right?" my word. Even though I am hurt and already know about his relationship with Celine, but I cannot possibly let this child I bear not recognize his father in the future.
"Don't trust Nan. I have proof that this woman cheated on you all along" Celine joked.
Celine hurriedly returned to the sofa and picked up the phone in her bag. As if he had found something in his cellphone he handed the phone to Mas Adnan who had not budged at all.
Mas Adnan looked surprised and looked at me sharply. The curious mother immediately approached and took a look. I was confused and wondered, Is he going to trap me again like last time?
"Women don't know they're lucky!" I shouted and walked over to me. "You are poor and you still dare cheat on my son!"
"Mom, I'm not cheating. It is precisely Mas Adnan who has been playing with Celine all this time," I replied aloud.
"The decision is in your hands" said Father and stood up to leave the living room. He glanced at me and disappeared behind the wall.
"Mas. This is really your son. I never played with anyone! Especially after cheating!"
"You are only defending yourself. Your foul behavior has been revealed," cynical Celine.
"Explain the meaning of the photo" said Mas Adnan and pointed to the phone on the table.
I immediately approached him and took the phone. I was so surprised. How did he get this photo! This is a photo that I have been covering up, a photo that until now I have not been able to remove from David's phone. How could he get it!
"Shocked right? Shocked dong for sure," ledek Celine.
"I'm not cheating. The photo was taken by David when he kidnapped me. And the photo was made to lure me all this time," I explained.
"Ga need to digress. Where there are people who have been kidnapped but every week always come to the house of the person who was kidnapped. If you don't like it," said Celine.
How could he know that too! Did David leak this to his cousin?
"Udah Cerain and Nan. Ga-use," said Mother.
I stared at Mas Adnan with tears ready to come out. I'm not afraid he's divorced, but if this divorce happens because of this photo, it's the same as me losing a landslide. I used to wish that if she would divorce me, I wish that the divorce was there because she had proven to have a relationship with Celine. Why did things turn around like this.
