The Single Parent

Togetherness Part 2

"Vano is still sleeping fast Mas, hopefully tomorrow will not hurt again" I said while looking at Vano backwards

"Yesterday the pain was exhausted from Mas Square" I told him.

"Maybe tired of Vano, what is playing in the Square? ask Mas Arif.

"That's the proselytization that's in the square she climbed up on her own" I told her.

"It's so brave of him" praised Mas Arif.

"Eh, I'm going to get there" I said.

The car stopped in front of my parents' house, but the door was still closed in my heart where my parents were.

"Mas Arif, can you please carry Vano, I want to open the door" I asked

Mas Arif nodded his head and out of the car opened the middle door of the car intending to hold Vano, I went out the front door and I opened the door.

"This way, this is Vano's room" I said and Arif followed me as he carried Vano into the house.

After Vano was placed in the bedroom I went out to pick up the bag in front.

Suddenly...

Arif hugged me from behind.

"Mas let go of Rinda, it's not good to see neighbors or Mom and Dad suddenly come" I said.

Notya let go of her embrace but instead more tightly hugged me.

"Rin.." said Mas Arif slowly and I turned my body to face him want me to escape from his embrace but instead I was held again harder.

"Aws...I can't breathe like this" I said.

"I'm sorry" he said as he loosened his arms, without me expecting Arif to kiss me while saying.

"I miss you so much Rin, please love me again, don't give your heart to another man" she said.

I couldn't say anything, his kiss made me crumple into a high-flying float.

kupandangi Mas Arif.

"Mas.I miss you too" I said.

There was a sweet smile carving on her lips, and she kissed my cheek again, dag dig dug it felt like my heart was probably this cheek reddened in color due to shame as well as pleasure

"Mas... Didn't go home? not good at the widow's house long ago or with the widow long ago many demons whisper" I whispered quietly.

"Tomorrow can still meet, right? you said you would take me to work until I returned to Papua" I whispered again.

Arif took off his arms and smiled, kissed me again.

"I go home first huh" he said with an unwilling look.

Mas Arif left this house, but my cheek, my forehead, my lips still feel there is a kiss, my heart floated happy but sad also because it will be abandoned again, I was afraid he was like before without news.

Shortly after, both my parents arrived

"Where are you from, Mom?" my many.

"From your old house, I got word that she was sick" explained Mother.

"Loh... What pain does Mom have? my many.

"Sick old Rin, his age is 70 years old" explained Mother

"Arif where? ask the father while looking around the house.

"Just got home" I explained.

"Where's vano?" ask Mother.

"That's a good night's sleep, from there" I said.

"Rin... How are you with Arif? it seems like he is really serious with you Rin" said Mr.

"Rinda is afraid to hope sir, afraid of being abandoned again like before, especially next week he has returned to Papua" I explained.

"Partially sir, Rinda has not finished the iddah period, what people say later, what said his father Vano as well as his family? my continue.

"Yes" answered Mom.

"I just follow the running water, sir, Mom, if he's my soul mate, he'll be with me" I said.

The morning after the morning prayers like the usual days I prepare all my needs as well as Vano, today Vano can start in child care as well as school, school she plus daycare, childcare, while feeding Vano a meal, there was a car that stopped in front of the house.

"Mother Om Arif is coming" cried Vano.

It was true that shortly afterwards, Arif got down from the car and approached Vano and carried him towards me.

"One morning, I wasn't ready to get here" I said.

"By seeing my bidadar haven't showered I'm here" he said with a laugh.

"Not yet, I want to have breakfast with you so early in the morning" he said with a smile.

"I didn't cook Mas, I didn't cook, I just made this for Vano" I said.

"If so, breakfast is outside" he said.

"Yes, I'm not ready" I replied.

After preparing everything immediately I met Mas Arif and went to work, it is also good every day there is between my mind he he he.

On its way.

"Mas Arif... What breakfast do you want?" my many.

"What do you want?" askalanya.

"Kok asked back anyway Mas, I rarely eat breakfast, usually at 9 am breakfast in the cafeteria where I work" I explained.

"Will pecel rice?" tanyakanya.

"Mau Mas, mas tau nasi pecel where? my many.

"There, not far from here, just go there" he replied.

I nodded my head, Vano as usual must sleep on this trip.

"Well, there is Rin" he said as he turned the car into the parking lot of the pecel madiun stall, still empty of visitors, time still shows half seven hours.

After eating, continue the journey to Vano school and to my workplace.

"Rin...on Sunday I leave, can you take me to the airport?" tanyakanya.

"Can you take the bus, yes, what time is the flight?" much

"It's not noon at 10 but 9 o'clock it has to get there" he explained.

"OK can" I replied.

"I'm getting down here" I said

after getting off Arif's car I walked to my office.

Arrive at the office

"Rin.. has been so, it's been a few days to pick you up" asked Nia.

"What the hell is Nia, don't know how I tell her" I replied as I opened the file sheet by sheet in front of me.

"I also don't dare to expect much Nia, what am I? the widow of one child, while she is still single" I explained.

"Oh my god... He's a bachelor...?? nia said as if she could not believe it.

"Right" he asked again.

"Yes, the real status in his ktp is not married yet do not know if it has been married" I said with a laugh.

"You have a crush?" i said again.

"Not having a crush on Nia, Aldi wants me to make a dream.., just surprised at the age of 29 years is not married, and still expect your love that is single parent to have one child" explained Nia.

"That's why Nia, I'm also surprised and can't believe that she really wants to be with me, try to think that single is still a lot of right, I still want to ngarep me who is like today" i said again.

The phone in my bag rang, I opened the bag immediately and I looked for my phone.

"Assalamualaikum"sofaki.

"Waalaikumsalam" he replied.

"What is Mas Arif" I asked.

"You've been home for a long time?" tanyakanya.

I saw the clock showing four hours less than a quarter.

"In a moment, Mas, this will finish the work also want to get ready to go home" I said.

"Wait in the car park, yes, I picked up Vano first" said Mas Arif.

"Thank you" I said, hanging up the phone.

Shortly thereafter.

My phone rings back

"Bu Rinda is there to pick up Vano, Bu Via does not know, Vano said his name is Om Arif, Vano asked to go home with Om Arif so" said Bu Via.

"Yes right Mom, it's okay Vano same Om Arif" I said and I closed the phone and then called Arif.

"Have you met Vano?" my many.

"It's Rin, but this is the teacher's mom worried about me thinking I'm the kidnapper maybe he he he" he replied with a laugh.

"Well, I'll wait in the parking lot." I said.
