Pitted Because of Will

DKW 87's

"Ma, I'm thirsty." The sound of Daffa asking for a drink made Nisa flinch from her daydream.

"It's a shame" said Nisa while giving drinking water to her beloved son.

"Ma, we go home yuk! Daffa is tired and sleepy!" bring Daffa.

"Lho Daffa doesn't want to play with me anymore?" ask Nisa.

Daffa.

"Why?" ask Nisa.

"Papa said, tomorrow Papa will take Daffa for another walk" replied Daffa.

"Mass?" Nisa asks for an explanation from her ex-husband.

"Yes, Nis. The plan is I will invite Daffa to play again tomorrow," replied Bima who was behind Daffa. The man then sat on an empty chair that was to the left of Nisa.

"Are you not working?" ask Nisa.

"Actually the work, but I will try to keep playing with Daffa tomorrow" replied Bima.

"Mas, isn't your workplace far away? You can get tired if you have to go back and forth every day here."

"It's okay, Nis. For me it is not a problem to be tired from every day I can play with Daffa," replied Bima.

Actually, that's not the only reason. While playing with Daffa just now, his son said that he often played with Angga every time he came home from school in the park. Bima is not willing, if his son is more familiar with his heavy competitors than with himself.

"It's up to you, ma'am," said Nisa. She did not want to be considered to prevent her ex-husband from meeting their son.

"Ma, let's go home!" whining Daffa again.

"Dear-yes, we go home now" replied Nisa.

"So she likes to whine, huh, Nis?" bima asked when she saw her son who kept whining asking to go home.

"Yes, he if he wants A yes must be A. Can't be bothered," replied Nisa.

"That means he's as stubborn as you are."

"That's how it is" answered Nisa.

Hearing his ex-wife's answer just now, making Bima finally know what he must do to be able to refer to his ex-wife. Yes, he had to make Daffa comfortable with him so as not to part. If that happened, surely Nisa would agree as she asked him to refer.

"Okay, we go home now" replied Bima.

They got up from the chair they were sitting in.

"Here, Nis, let me just get to the parking lot!" Bima volunteered to replace Nisa holding her son. However, Daffa hugged his mother tightly and refused to be carried by her.

"I'm sorry, Mas. Daffa if you are sleepy do not want to be with anyone even just as shot he does not want to," said Nisa. She was afraid that her ex-husband was offended by Daffa's attitude just now.

"It's okay, Nis. I understand, his name is also a small child," said Bima. Although she actually did not like it when Nisa compared herself to the mother who helped Nisa take care of Daffa.

"You guys just wait here, let me go to the parking lot to take a car," said Bima.

Nisa just nodded in response.

Nisa and her former mother-in-law were waiting in front of the mall, a while later Bima was back again with her car. The man whose status had changed to Nisa's ex-husband came back down from his car to open the door for Nisa.

"Thank you" Nisa said after getting into the car. Bima also opened the door for her mother. He then went back up and took the car away from there.

The journey from the mall to reach Nisa's house, close enough only about 15-20 minutes they have arrived back at Nisa's residence.

"Once again thank you, Ma, Mas, have time to play with Daffa," said Nisa as soon as she got out of the car.

"Together, Nis. It is precisely I who should be thanking you for giving me permission to play with our son. Thank you, Nis," said Bima.

"Darling, papa go home first. Tomorrow papa come here again to play with you," said Bima to his son. Either Daffa still heard it or not. Before leaving, Bima kissed her son's forehead. He got into the car first.

"Nis, mama also went home first yes," said Vena.

"Yes, Ma, be careful."

"Oh yes, Nis. Don't forget to think about what Mom said. Remember, Nis, Daffa needs a papa figure. Put aside all your ego for her." Vena again asked her former daughter-in-law to remember what she said at the restaurant.

Nisa did not answer because remarrying was not on her life list, let alone to re-refer to her ex-husband. Not because of a grudge she did not want to refer to her ex-husband, but the pain and disappointment that Bima inflicted on her heart used to be so deep and hard to forget. Nisa has decided to forgive Bima and give her the opportunity to be close to their son, but to re-establish the relationship is impossible. At least that's how she felt about her ex-husband until now.

"Mama's gone, Nis. Assalammualaikum." Back Vein say goodbye. He then got into the car owned by Bima.

"Waalaikummussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh" replied Nisa. He waved when Vena waved her hand at Nisa.

Nisa steps in to get inside the house when the car is no longer visible. However, Nisa's steps came to a halt when she heard a voice calling out to her softly.
