The Single Parent

The Change Rinda Wanted.

Arriving home, Arif opened the car door and Rinda got down from the car slowly while holding Vanesia.

Entering the house following Arif.

Rinda put Vanesia in her room.

"Mas..it seems like Rinda asked Mom for help to take care of Vanesia in these weeks," said Rinda.

"Yes Rin, tomorrow I'll go there and pick up Vano" Arif said as he sat on the edge of the bed looking at his daughter.

"It's adorable for Rin" Arif said.

"Yes Mas" said Rinda who also looked at her little daughter's face.

"When did you return to Mimika?" ask Rinda.

"Next week Rin, I want to take care of my resignation," replied Arif casually.

Rinda was surprised.

"What kind of work is this?" ask Rinda.

"Take care of two kids," replied Arif casually.

"My son who works at home meets the children" said Rinda with an irritated face.

"Honey, it has been my promise to leave my job and here accompany you when you are unconscious" said Arif.

"You don't worry Rin, I'll build a place for rent or boarding, I've bought land without your knowledge, don't you like me here with you?" arif asked while looking at his wife's face.

"I'm so happy Mas" replied Rinda with teary eyes and we hugged each other.

"Thank you, Rinda doesn't need a luxurious life, which is important happiness with family" whispered Rinda.

Arif kissed Rinda's lips and enjoyed it.

When they are immersed in love.

Suddenly Vano came.

"Mother...The Mother... Vano's coming home with Dad!" yell Vano.

Rinda took off her kiss and looked at her husband's face with a strange look as well as Arif.

"Mas I didn't mishear Vano coming home with his father?" ask Rinda.

"I heard it too, we just went out to see Rin" replied Arif.

Rinda and Arif left the room to the front.

It's true that Vano was seen together with his father.

"Mas Ardi?" asked Rinda with a surprised face.

"What are you here for?" asked Arif in an angry tone.

"Mother... Vano for a few days at Dad's house, Mbah kung was sick at the puskesmas, Mbah uti was waiting for Mbah kung," said Vano.

"You mean you sleep at Grandma's?" ask Rinda.

Vano.

Mas Ardi was still standing on the porch of the house, seeing the proximity of Mas Ardi, his heart was slightly melted.

"Let's go first Mas" Rinda told Ardi.

"Mas Arif, it looks like Mas Ardi has changed, he is my past, Mas has to accept his change of attitude, this is what Rinda wants," said Rinda.

Ardi walked inside the house and sat in the living room chair.

"I'm sorry for everything I did to you Rin, I am indeed a useless man, a child-destroying man, I'm sorry," Ardi said.

Rinda was stunned to hear Ardi's words.

"What do you want now?" arif asked with a hostile face.

"So Mas Ardi is married?" ask Rinda.

"Yes Rin, a month ago," replied Ardi.

"Have you given birth?" ask Ardi.

"Yes, this was just coming home from the hospital" replied Rinda.

"Tomorrow I brought my wife here to see your son, I say goodbye first" Ardi said.

***

At night in Arif's room and Rinda's talking.

"Mas, give Ardi a chance to change, however Vano is his son," said Rinda.

"If he's affecting things negatively to Vano how?" ask Arif.

"Mas.we can see the change from Vano if in the negative direction, we can warn Ardi mas," replied Rinda.

"As much as you are Rin, I just saw that he really wanted to change, it looks like Vano is also comfortable with his biological father, actually I am also happy like that Rin," arif said while laying on the bed next to his wife.

While Vanesia was beside Rinda sleeping soundly.

"Yes Mas, what's wrong we give the opportunity to mas Ardi to change well," said Rinda.

"Oh yes, Widya is getting married?" ask Rinda.

"Yes Rin, Widya is already married to Yusuf, while Faris your sister was married two days after Yusuf got married, I didn't come to their wedding, I waited for you with anxiety, I was afraid of losing you Rin," arif said.

"He he he, until Mas promises to leave Mas's job and stay here" Rinda said as she turned to her husband.

"Nia, Rin's next marriage leave, we can definitely come to their wedding" Arif said.

"Hopefully, let's go to sleep" said Rinda

Arif kissed his wife's forehead gently, and they slept in a calm feeling.

***

The next day Ardi actually came with his wife to visit the house of Arif's in-laws with gifts for Rinda's daughter.

"Mbak.introduce my name Tania," said Tania Mas Ardi's wife while shaking hands with Rinda on the porch of the house.

Rinda holding Vanesia invited Ardi and Tania into the house.

Vano ran over to Tania.

"Mother, this is Aunt Tania, she taught me to count" Vano said.

"Vano salim first with Aunt Tania and Ardi's father, please keep calling Arif's father here" he said.

Vano immediately ran into the house.

A little while later Vano came along with Arif.

Arif smilingly revealed a friendly face after last night talking from heart to heart with Rinda.

Arif salutes his ex Ardi Rinda who raped Rinda until she became pregnant.

We two families seemed familiar talking in the living room for a long time.

***

The following days the Arif family and the Ardi family meet each other until Tania has a daughter whom they name Sofia.

Vano, Vanesia and Sofia seem familiar, the older Vano always succumbs to his younger siblings, and occasionally tells which one is wrong which one is right in Vano's way.
