The Single Parent

My Son and Husband are my Spirit

Get out of the diner, and I'm going on a bike, Mas Ardi comes up to me.

“Rinda... sorry if it offended you” said.

“No need to apologize, from the first you did too, do not contact me again” I said.

“I've been very disappointed with you” I said then turned on the motorbike leaving Mas Ardi.

“Rinda, please forgive me” she cried, I did not rub it at all.

I rode my motorcycle leaving it to my workplace.

You guys never change your attitude, sorry, sorry what? Only in his mouth is not from the heart, my heart says.

Arriving at the parking lot of the workplace I immediately headed to the musholla to perform dhuhur prayer, finished praying I walked up to my room.

Still with a sullen face I flipped open my file. Hmmm because he did not focus on my work.

Nia looked at me and asked.

“You why Rinda, back here tangled so?”

“Why does my life always meet men who have been my ex?” my many.

“Why again with his father Vano?” ask Nia.

“I'm so annoyed that I'm Nia, cook her back to me, it's clear I'm a wife of the people” I said.

“Nyesel the time he left you?” ask Nia.

“He prayed yes I am pregnant soon, I want to show him if my husband can buntingin me” said I still with an angry tone.

“Sabar..” Said Nia.

I took the water from the water bottle in front of my desk and leaned my back on the back of the chair.

Oh God, why has my life never been separated from him, he has ruined my life, my heart says.

“Rin, why did you want to see him?” ask Nia.

I took a deep breath “Nia, I actually really want to have a good relationship with my ex, but yes every start I always disappointed” said I.

“Some days he called me, met Vano at school too, he wanted to be better, wanted to have a good relationship, but his words really hurt me” I said back.

I got up from the back of the chair and went back to drinking the water in the bottle on the table and put it back in its place.

“Indeed what is he talking about Rin?” ask Nia.

“You know what he's talking about?” ask me while whispering.

Nia nodded her head.

“He wants to sleep with me”.

“Hah” Instantly Nia flabbergasted.

“Ya obviously you are angry with Rin, just as she humbled you as a fine woman” said Nia.

“Set your plan how?” ask Nia later.

“I don't know Nia” I replied.

“Do you plan to tell your husband?” ask Nia.

“But dare I Nia, I am afraid to be offended and suspicious of me, you know yourself long distance relationship is so vulnerable Nia” suspicion answered me.

“But surely one day I will definitely tell him, I can't possibly hide this from him” I said.

“Which surely I as a wife who lives far away must always be loyal to my husband” I said again.

“Iya Rin, should it, loyalty is expensive” said Nia.

“Let's continue working Nia, two and a half hours we go home” I said.

“Iya Rin” replied Nia.

And we focus back on our work.

I try not to think about my ex's talk that always makes me emotional, but it's in my heart.

May this month I get pregnant, I want to show her that I can get pregnant too, my inner self.

Time to get home from work, I tidied up my desk full of documents scattered, after neat I turned off my computer and I took my bag then walked with Nia and Widya down the stairs leading to the bike parking lot.

I turned on the bike to Vano's place.

Still around the parking lot, my phone rang, hopefully not the former, my inner self.

My bike shut off and I took my phone from my bag.

Thank God my beloved husband he he he, at that moment my smile returned, immediately I picked up the phone from him.

“Waalaikum greetings my wife, eh how excited once?” ask Mas Arif.

“It is, if you receive a call from your beloved it must be the spirit of” I said back with a smile.

“Where are you now Rin?” ask Mas Arif.

“Still in my parking lot to follow Vano” I replied.

“You guys are fine right?” ask Mas Arif.

“Alhamdulillah everything is fine Mas, oh yes next Friday I want to go to my parents' house Mas, already kangen” pamitku.

“It's okay, greetings to Father Mother, oh yes Mother how? Staying healthy yesterday from Jogja?” ask Mas Arif.

“Alhamdulillah healthy Mas, nitip what message with your mother?” my many.

“Salam ku” answered Mas Arif.

“Next Rin, pity Vano must be waiting for you” said Mas Arif

“Iya Mas, thank you yes, Assalamualaikum” said I will end the conversation via our phone.

“Waalaikum greetings, be careful yes dear” Mas Arif message.

“iya, Mas also” I said then call me closed.

Then I turned on my motorcycle again slowly leaving my work place to go to the daycare where Vano was.

Ah... Your husband is my spirit when I am at ease, my mind.

When it's almost at the daycare where Vano is, call back the embroidery.

I stopped by the side of the road, who else, my inner self.

I'm taking the phone in my bag. Hmmm for what he called me back, I picked up and then I was angry as much as I was, my mind.

“Hallo”.

“Rinda, please forgive me” said Mas Ardi pleading.

“Hey... No apologies to you, your words were very offensive to me, you think I need you

whahuh? If you want to find warmth look for a woman who wants to be with you, sorry I was not interested in you” I said angrily, and called me closed as well as hpku.

In my heart I said, for what to make her talk, make emotions, mending remember my husband who always makes me smile.

Until;aj I'm in daycare.

Vano looked at me and ran to hug me.

“How long did you pick him up?” asked Vano with a disappointed face.

“Sorry baby, mother was a lot of work so a little long to pick you” answered me lying.

“Let's grab your bags and go home!” take me.

Vano went back inside the room, picked up his trolley bag and grazed towards me.

“Vano already salim same Bu Guru?” my many.

“Bu” already said Bu Via from inside when hearing our conversation.

“Iya, We say yes Bu” told me to his Master Vano.

Get out of Custody on my motorcycle.

I put the troly bag in front and put it on Vano's seat.

“Vano after this where are you going?” my many.

“Mother, Vano hungry, let's buy what gitu” pinta Vano.

“You want meatballs?” my many.

“Iya Mau Bunda” replied Vano.

We slowly left the daycare heading to the meatball stall, until there I ordered meatballs and warm tea, before long the meatballs were served in front of us, we immediately enjoyed it.

After eating meatballs and paying for them, I immediately went home to my mother-in-law's house.

Arriving at home, I saw Mom watering her pet flowers.

Vano and I approached Mom and greeted her.

“Rinda you shower first there and we can relax after this while waiting for adzan maghrib” said Mother.

“Iya Bu” replied.

Then I went into the room and took a shower.
