Not Just a Status

51, From the Distance

Mandala holds Rayno out of her apartment. Lay that plump and adorable looking baby in the car seat. The man drove his car while occasionally looking at his watch. Finally, the father and son stopped in front of a house that looked magnificent. Mandala carried her son while staring at the magnificent house. According to the GPS of the ring that Mandala gave to Kahyang, this is where Kahyang should be.

Kahyang stared blankly at the ceiling of his room. He should be with Mandala and Rayno. Usually they will lay Rayno on the bed. The two of them would talk to Rayno, show her some toys of different colors and occasionally kiss Rayno.

Kahyang got out of his bed and opened the balcony door of his room. The woman stood on the edge of the balcony until her eyes were fixed on a black car.

"Mandala. Is that his car?"murmured Kahyang with teary eyes. Somehow Kahyang was so sure if the car parked on the side of the road in front of his house was a Mandala car. Though Kahyang saw it from quite a distance away and now it is night. Besides, it's not just Mandala, right, who has a black car. But Kahyang's heart said that the car belonged to Mandala.

While Mandala who parked her car on the side of the road in front of Kahyang house also smiled wistfully when she saw a woman coming out of one of the rooms and standing on the balcony. Although looking from inside the car with a considerable distance, but Mandala can recognize Kahyang from the posture and long hair. Mandala could see the woman she loved standing on the edge of the balcony and was seen staring at her car.

"I can finally see you, even from a distance. Do you realize I'm here?"muttered Mandala who was still holding Rayno. His eyes were still staring at Kahyang who was standing on the balcony of his room.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Suddenly someone knocks on the glass of Mandala's car and suddenly Rayno looks restless.

"Why baby? You thirsty?"mandala asked her son while opening the car window.

"Good night! Sorry, why did you park your car here for so long?"ask a man who turns out to be the security guard at Kahyang's house. The man was suspicious because Mandala's car was parked long enough across the street in front of his employer's house.

"Sorry, sir, just a minute! My son seemed to be thirsty" Mandala said as she calmed her son, while her other hand took milk from the box she had prepared from the apartment.

"Did you kidnap people's babies?"security asked, looking suspicious. No more formal talks to Mandalas..

Mandala has not answered the security question, because she is still busy calming her son and quickly giving milk so that his son does not cry. Because Mandala is so memorized by her son's facial expression, if she is not given milk soon, the baby will definitely cry.

"What did you ask?"mandala asked when Rayno had calmed down because she was drinking milk.

The security who had been watching Mandala let out a long sigh, "I asked why you thought about your car for so long here? And whose kid is that? Did you kidnap her?"tanya security who was about forty years old was staring at Mandala suspiciously.

Mandala let out a long sigh then looked at that security, "First, I stopped here because I was resting. Second, I am not a kidnapper. This is my real son. You see, in my car there are baby gear! Where the kidnapper might have brought baby gear. And where is there a kidnapper in a fancy car like me? Anyway, if I want to steal or mean something bad, why did I stop here for so long? I was just taking a break. My baby was just over a month old, so I couldn't stay in the car seat for long. Therefore I carried him first and rest here a little long," explained Mandala at length.

Security was seen watching the contents of the Mandala car. There is a car seat, a small box where Mandala took the milk earlier and also there are other baby equipment. The security then looked at Mandala's face. His face also seemed not to be a difficult person. Even if you only wear shorts and T-shirts. But the aura of the man was very authoritative.

"Why are you taking a baby this small to travel?"security asked a little softly.

"I married without the blessing of my parents. And finally my wife was taken home forcibly by her parents" Mandala said, sighing longly as she stroked her son's head.

"That's it, huh? It's very sad for your son" said security, looking concerned.

"Here, I bought some bread, this is for you. It's good for friends to coffee," said Mandala smiled thinly, holding out a packet of bread on the security.

"Thank you!"security said, smiling broadly.

"Maybe tomorrow-tomorrow I will often stop here for a break. I feel safer stopping here than stopping somewhere else. It's okay, isn't it, sir?"ask Mandala so that when she wants to see Kahyang and stop for a long time in that place no one will suspect her.

"Of course it's okay," the security said with a big smile.

"My son is asleep" said Mandala, looking down at her sleeping son, stroking the baby's head and kissing him affectionately. The mandala laid Rayno in the car seat carefully.

The security seemed to take a deep breath, concerned to see the father and the baby boy.

"I'm sorry, yes, sir! I had to go home soon, afraid that my son would wake up before he could get home, "pamit Mandala.

"Thank you, Sir!"mandala then closed the windshield. Mandala turned to the balcony of Kahyang's room and saw the woman still standing there. Mandala smiled wryly, clicked the security earlier and drove her car.

"Be careful!"said security earlier to Mandala while sighing long, then ran back to his place of vigil to coincide with Anggoro's car that will enter the gate of the house.

"I don't know when I started loving you, nor do I know how to stop loving you. And worse, I can't forget you" muttered Mandala without tears.

Loving but not fighting for loved ones. It hurts, doesn't it?

"Sir Supri, who was the person in the car?"anggoro asked after lowering his car glass. Anggoro saw security who turned out to be named Supri was standing near a luxury car that stopped by the side of the road in front of his house. To make Anggoro curious.

"Oh, that. Only one who rests because his son wants to drink milk, sir, "sahut Supri is honest.

"Oh, so. Yes, I went in first," Anggoro said.

"Yes, sir,"sahut Supri.

"What is true you say?"ask Supri's friend who is also on guard.

"really. Poor, the child is still a baby, but his wife was brought home by force by both parents because their marriage was not sanctioned by their parents, "supri said with a sad expression.

"Pity too, huh?"supri's friend.

"Most children of the rich have such a fate. If both parents are divorced, then their parents are less attentive. Because his parents are busy finding treasure, and they don't give enough affection and attention to their children" Supri said.

"You're right" said Supri's friend.

"That's it. Don't think! Here, I was given the same bread earlier. Yuk, eaten together!"said Supri and the two ate the bread given by Mandala while sipping their coffee.

Meanwhile, Kahyang who was on the balcony staring at the Mandala car that drove further and further away. Kahyang immediately entered the room when he saw Anggoro's car at the gate of his house.

Notebook :

- At about 1 month of age, the baby may focus briefly on the person he is staring at but may still prefer brightly colored objects with a distance of up to 1 meter. So, by the age of one month, babies already have the ability to see colors.

- Translated from English-Child safety seats, sometimes called baby safety seats, child restraint systems, child seats, baby seats, car seats, or booster seats, etc, a chair designed to protect children from injury or death during a vehicle collision. Wikipedia (English)
