The Secretary For Life
Martin and Naina
All of Martin's work was finally done as well. He hurried out of the office to go home.
On the way, Martin accidentally sees a familiar figure on the side of the road fiddling with the car. Martin then pulled over his car and approached the man.
" Miss Naina, is there a problem?" Ask Martin.
" Mister Martin, oh this is my car suddenly breaking down, when I was in a hurry. Since then there was also no taxi passing by," replied Naina.
" Then let me just deliver how? Miss's car will be taken by the workshop person" said Martin.
" Isn't it bothering you, Master?"
" Not at all, come on," said Martin, letting Naina into his car.
As the car slowly drove by, Naina felt bad for Martin. Martin is currently very happy, because he can one car with a woman he has always liked.
" Which way are you going, miss?" Ask Martin to Naina.
" That crossroad turns left, sir. The place is approximately 200 meters from the crossroads," explained Naina, Martin following the directions from Naina.
A moment later the car they were riding in arrived at their destination, Naina immediately got out of the car after thanking Martin.
" Dear," said Naina to a little girl who had been waiting for her at the security guard post.
" Mamaaaaa" cried the little girl as she ran to hug her mother.
" I'm sorry baby, mom's car broke down. So late to pick her up," said Naina.
" It's ok, Ma," replied the little girl named Keysa.
" Yes already if that we go straight home just yuk. Sir we say yes, thank you for taking care of Eca," Naina told the security guard at the place.
" Yes Non equally, be careful Yes Non Eca beautiful," said the security guard.
The two of them went straight to the side of the road to wait for a taxi, but suddenly a car stopped in front of them.
" Mister Martin, are you still here?" Ask Naina.
" It's hard to find a taxi here, so I decided to wait for you, Miss," Martin replied.
" Who is this uncle Ma?" Eca asked, which surprised Martin, because the boy called Naina, mama.
" Mama's friend, baby. Oh yes sir this is Keysa, my son," said Naina.
" Hey Keysa, I'm Martin" said Martin.
"Keysa uncle, but commonly called Eca," Keysa replied.
" Yes, let me take you with me" said Martin, with Naina forced to follow him.
Keysa asked to sit in front beside Martin. It was with great pleasure that Martin allowed it. Slowly the car that Martin was driving left the place.
In Keysa's car, as he continues to talk, he tells Martin about his school, his friends. This made Naina feel bad.
" Dear, why do you keep talking? You can disturb the concentration of uncle Martin if you talk continuously," said Naina who sat in the back seat.
" No problem Miss, I'm just happy" replied Martin.
" Oh yes uncle, uncle want to be Papa Eca?" Keysa's question makes Martin and Naina surprised by Keysa's question.
" Dear, don't talk weird. Forgive Eca, sir," said Naina feeling bad.
" Yes Eca also wants to have Papa, Ma. Just like Eca's friends, they can play with their Papa, while Eca can only play with Mama and Oma alone," Keysa replied as he lowered his head in tears.
" Kan there's still aunty Zura, aunty Manda, uncle Fathan, uncle Arga, Grandpa's equally dear grandmother. You can play with them, right?" Naina.
" Eca wants Papa, Ma. Besides they do not live with us, mama is also busy working, at home there is only Eca with Oma only. If Eca has Papa, she can stay with us, Mama does not need work, Mama will accompany Eca. Eca also will not be ridiculed by Eca's friends because Eca does not have Papa," said Eca crying. Hearing all that made Naina's heart ache, as well as Martin she could not bear to see the little boy crying.
" Now there is also uncle, uncle is Eca's friend. If for example Mama Eca is busy, uncle can really accompany Eca to play," said Martin while stroking Keysa's head.
" Serious uncle?" Eca asked as she raised her head to look at Martin.
" Of course, whenever Eca wants, Uncle is ready to accompany Eca. So now Eca don't be sad anymore" said Martin.
" Surely uncle, anytime?" Keysa asked again to be sure, in response to a nod by Martin.
" Where are you going, Eca?"
" To the park, shall you?" Ask Keysa.
" Uncle Martin has to go home" said Naina.
" It's okay, Miss. May dong dear," said Martin.
Martin then drove his car to the park that Keysa meant. Once there the three of them immediately descended. Keysa immediately invited Martin to play with him, while Naina chose to sit on the park bench. Seeing their familiarity made Naina sad sakaligus happy.
" I'm sorry to bother you, sir," said Naina as Martin sat beside her. While Keysa is currently playing with children visitors to the park, Keysa is a child who quickly familiar with anyone.
" Absolutely not, Miss," replied Martin.
" Eca has never seen her Papa. We divorced while Eca was still in the womb. Maybe that's why Eca behaves like this" explained Naina while still watching Keysa from a distance.
" Divorced?"
" The man married me because my parents were rich, and after my parents went bankrupt he chose to leave me. It was my fault I never heard my parents and friends say. They reminded me before that man was not a good man. Maybe I could say at that time I was too blinded by love. Since then my life has been ruined, it has made my Papa die, Fortunately I have Arga, Zura and also Zura family, they are the ones who made me rise. They are the ones who have always been there in my difficult times" Naina explained with a hold of tears given the incident.
" Cry if you want to cry, Miss," said Martin, handkerchiefing Naina.
" Thank you, sorry I shouldn't have said this to you" Naina said, wiping her tears.
" It doesn't matter, Miss." Reply Martin.
" I did not expect, it turns out that behind the joy that you always display there is a very large wound, and you can cover it well, as if you are fine. You're a tough woman, miss," said Martin.
" The circumstances that made me like this. Showing our suffering to others is pointless, sir. And I do have to be tough on Eca and my Mama, don't I?" reply Naina, make Martin even more admire the woman.
Martin is more eager to get Naina, he hopes to treat Naina's heartache and become a good Papa to Keysa. But Martin was disappointed when he found out Naina already had children, and that means Naina was married. But after she learns that Naina is a single parent, her determination to get Naina's heart is getting stronger.
