NO DIGAS ADIOS (Don't Say Goodbye)

NDA -33-S

Nola's situation is getting better. He can sit, be invited to joke and laugh cheerfully like a child his age. Renata is happy not to play. Especially when the doctor says that the day after Nola can go home.

That afternoon Renata was feeding Nola with porridge. The boy ate voraciously while playing his favorite teddy. While in the corner of the room, Ma'am Ami, Nola's nanny was busy picking up some dirty clothes and putting them in a big totebag. Renata asked that all of them be brought home for washing.

"Mamaaah.." chirped Nola occasionally in a spoiled tone.

"Dear baby, what's wrong??" sahut Renata is loving.

The boy laughed again as he offered the doll, asking Renata to kiss the doll. Renata kisses the teddybear with anxiety and then kisses Nola's forehead many times, making the child even more excited.

"Wow, the child of the pinter maemnya already almost finished," Renata showed the contents of the bowl towards Nola. "Yuk m. yuk.. a... a...." He demonstrated as if the last feed was an airplane that wanted to get into the hangar.

"The printer is adek," Ma'am Ami walked towards them.

"Yes dong Ma'am. Kan Nola wants to be healthy in order to cepet pu..." Renata stroked Nola's hair.

"Yaaaang.." - Nola continued her mother's sentence. Meaning, Home.

"Then I say go home first Buk, want to finish the dirty clothes," Pamit Mbak Ami.

"Oh yes Ma'am. Keep on forgetting later if you come back here with my jacket or hoodie on the hanger room yes," Renata message before Mbak Ami leaves the room. "It's cold here."

"Alright Buk," Ma'am Ami raised the totebag he had packed. "Adeeker... Mbak went home first yes, later Mbak came back here again," he said to Nola.

Nola nodded. He also gave a cute kissbye to Mbak Ami. "Dadaahh." he said in a still slurred style.

After Mbak Ami came out, immediately the atmosphere became quiet. Renata checked the phone. His lips shriveled when he found that there was no message he expected to enter there. His expectations are too high on people who lately are able to make him so eager to go to the office. Who else if not Adam. The man she had known from the first moment could make her think about him the whole time.

JEGLEK!

The room door suddenly opened, making Renata and Nola spontaneously set their sights on it.

"Let's..." Nola squealed with excitement as she raised both her hands.

"Usss ussshh usshhhh. Later the needle came off," Renata held Nola's hand gently.

It turned out that what made Nola act so happy was Adam. He came up with a cover of his face using a medium-sized Winnie The Pooh doll. He walked over to Nola's bed and gave the doll to her.

"Eh, Mr. Adam," said Renata awkwardly. He stood up and let Adam sit in a chair nearby.

"Udah, you sit down. Why stand up?" ask Adam.

Renata sat back down. He must be able to hold his breath to control his heart which suddenly felt so happy because of the arrival of the idol. His hope in a message is now paid more by Adam's presence here. Moreover, coupled with the attitude of Nola who was so carefree when receiving a doll from Adam. The little boy forgot his Teddy doll and hugged Winnie tightly.

"Yeee, the doll's good, baby?" Renata spoke to Nola and the boy nodded. "Then tell me what's the same Oom?"

"Maaciihh Oom" said Nola with a funny expression to say thank you with a rudimentary style of speech.

Adam smiled and stroked Nola's cheeks fondly. "Together the children of Pinter," he said.

"Before, thank you for coming here to visit Nola," Renata told Adam.

"Together Ren," Adam replied without the slightest distraction from Nola. "Hows it? Looks like your son's gone?"

"Alhamdulillah Sir. The doctor said if things continue to improve, the day after he can go home."

"Thank God then. "

"Oh yeah, what about my job in the office sir? Is there anyone holding back as long as I'm not in?"

Adam shakes. "I'm working on it myself little by little Ren. Because Maya who usually helps me is also busy."

"Oh, I'm sorry sir," Renata felt bad. "If Nola had been allowed to go home..."

"Of course, you don't have to think about that. For now Nola's health is paramount. You focus on taking care of him first" Adam cut. "Sir Anton has no problem with this either. He understands your position."

Renata smiled with relief. His boss was not only handsome and handsome. But also kind. Ah, if....

For a while Renata lets Nola chat with Adam. The boy was so welcome with his presence. Could it be because he missed the figure of a father?

Ah... Renata smiled bitterly. Nola did not know that figure from childhood. Even on his first birthday, when Devan attended the party, Nola's welcome to his biological father was not as happy as when he met Adam today. Sometimes Renata is surprised. How could Devan really forget his own flesh and blood?

But yeah, that's it. There is no point in regretting something that has happened. The event was bitter enough to be remembered. Didn't he decide to bury his past deeply? Didn't she promise Nola to be both Mom and Dad for her?

Nola's face looked so bright during a conversation and joking with Adam. Adam, sitting on the edge of the bed, hugged the little boy lovingly.

Oh my God. Just look at it is happy, inner Renata.

...🌺🌺🌺...

The time showed at 17:45 minutes when Selenia went to the kitchen to fetch drinking water. He frowned deeply and asked himself.

Selenia intends to call her husband's number, but then stops. Suddenly his memory floated on the events of this morning in the hospital when they met... Ren's? Adam called 'Ren' to the woman. What's-her-name? Maybe Adam is impossible. Yeah but who knows? Didn't Adam look so familiar with the little boy? What's he....

The roar of a car engine entered the yard, as Selenia's heart was arguing with her conjectures. He jumped out of bed and walked to the window. From here he could see Adam who had just got out of the car and walked into the house. Shortly after, we heard footsteps approaching. Without a second thought, Selenia rushed to the door of her room.

Tok tok!

The knock was heard along with Selenia's hand that was about to turn the doorknob. A wide smile greeted Selenia as soon as the door opened.

"Eat already?"

"Cock just got home?"

The two questions popped out of their mouths almost at the same time, making them both hold a smile.

"I'm sorry I forgot to tell you, if I stopped by the hospital first. I looked at Nola, the little boy who met us this morning at the same hospital as his mother. Inglet?" ask Adam while loosening his tie.

Is it true? My guess is not wrong. Inner Selenia. There was a feeling of disappointment in Selenia's heart hearing that. But he chose not to show his disappointment in front of Adam. I don't know, he just doesn't like it when Adam gets too close to her.

"Have you eaten?" Adam repeated the question.

Selenia shook her head slowly. Adam touched his forehead gently.

"Have you taken your medicine?" ask Adam again.

"Later to sleep," replied Selenia flatly.

"Well, if that's what I want to take a shower, change clothes and we eat?"

"May," Selenia nodded.

Adam rushed into the room while Selenia went to the dining room. There Bibik was preparing his dinner. Selenia pulled the chair lazily and sat down.

"Non Selenia has been dying, hasn't she?" bi Iyah asked as she poured warm tea into the glass in front of Selenia.

"Now Bik" Selenia smiled. "What kind of baby cook? Like a mantep," he observed all the dishes presented on the table.

"Bibik cook orek tempe the same carrot, this trus there is a vegetable asem too, where tofu wants to be eaten without rice."

"Well, okay-okay. Steady..." Selenia gave her thumb.

"Oh yes, who was Non who came here with Ms Cia?" ask Bi Iyah.

"She said I'm a bik, we're not in class."

Bi Iyah. Shortly thereafter Adam appeared with a very fresh appearance. Her slightly wet hair made her look cool in Selenia's eyes.

Damage is also my husband, Inner Selenia.

They enjoyed dinner together without talking. It has become a habit. Can't eat while talking.

For a few minutes busy with each plate, finally the dinner was over. Adam sipped his drink and wiped his lips with a tissue. And Selenia too. He picked up an orange for dessert.

"As long as you know not.." Adam suddenly made Selenia stop her activity peeling the orange peel. "...Nola's a funny kid."

The deg! Selenia glanced at Adam briefly then continued peeling the orange. "Hmmm," he only muttered briefly.

"Yes, he is very welcome with me," Adam smiled ignorantly without Selenia's knowledge. "If only I had a child." she said later.

Selenia reflexes put her orange on the table then looked at Adam and smiled bitterly. Did Adam realize the same thing he was talking about?

"Sel.. I'm joking, you know," said Adam as soon as Selenia's expression began to change.

Selenia shrugged her shoulders slowly. "It's okay. It's natural that Dam you talk that way. The one whose name is 'married' must want something that can complement his marriage."

"Yes I mean..." Adam did not continue his sentence. He felt that his words had offended Selenia. In his heart he cursed himself, why should he joke in such a way.

"If you like, I never forbid you to meet Nola really," Imbuh Selenia. As he said that, his heart actually hurt, because the more often Adam met with Nola, it means that the more often he also met 'Ren' who was his mother's name.

Adam did not answer. He was sorry but also felt happy to see Selenia's response. An answer that is like an unwilling expression. Jealous expression. His wife was jealous. If he's jealous, then there's a chance he's already starting to open his heart to me.

Slowly, Adam got up and walked over to Selenia. He shifted his seat so that he could get closer to Selenia. "You know I like kids, and I happened to meet Nola. I'm sorry if my chandelier missed. But I promise, someday if I want to meet Nola, I'll take you, "Adam held out his pinky to Selenia to make a pact. "I'm sure you'll like him too" he blinked one eye.

Selenia glanced at Adam with her eyes. That's a really big eye. But even though that had not happened, at least he felt relieved to hear the promise that Adam had said. He also put his pinky on Adam's pinky.

"Well, that's dong," Adam smiled. But deep in his heart was more than that. She was happy and wished her conjecture - Selenia was being struck by real-life jealousy.
