Two Men Meet Again



Shortly after Mas Arif's car was seen stopping in front of daycare, I got out of daycare by holding Vano into the car, before my car door closed, Mas Ardi standing next to the car close to Vano's whereabouts, Mas Arif exited the car to meet him.


"Vano.. stay inside yeah, don't come out" I said.


Vano nodded his head, I finally opened the glass window slightly and closed the door from the outside, then I approached Mas Ardi and Mas Arif.


"Mas.if you want to be close to Vano that's not the way, Vano is getting scared of you" I said.


"Rin.. This man needs to be taught a lesson to know that what he has done affects Vano" said Mas Arif in an angry tone.


I held his arm, worried there would be a fight


"Vano is still my son, not your son" said Mas Ardi


"But I filled the figure of the father for Vano" replied Mas Arif.


"Enough.enough.." I shouted.


"In court it is clear that child custody is in my hands, now you ask yourself Vano wants to come with you or with the father" he said.


"Come.. ask Vano myself" I said .


Then approaching the car the two of them followed me from behind, Her teacher Vano saw us from the daycare terrace without being able to do anything about it, likewise with friends Vano look from behind the glass of the daycare window.


"Darling... would you like to go with Ardi's father or Arif's father?" I went to Vano.


"I don't want to be with Ardi's father, I want to be with Arif's father" Vano said.


"That's heard Vano pick who?" I said.


"If there's anything with Vano, you'll deal with me" snapped Mas Arif.


"Let's Rin. go home" Mas Arif.


"Once again Mas comes to Vano's school, and makes Vano afraid that I can ask KPAI for help, or if Mas forcefully brings Vano I can make a child abduction report" I said to Mas Ardi then got in the car and closed the window.


The car left the daycare, headed straight for Mas Arif's house, the time showing at eleven o'clock in the afternoon.


"Rin. later in the house just do not go out the fence" Mas Arif message when arriving at home.


"I want Friday prayers at the mosque" he said later.


"Iya Mas" I said and walked towards Mas Arif's room to change clothes, while Vano saw the tv show.


Mas Arif is ready to leave for Friday prayers at the mosque near the house.


"Be careful Rin" he said passed and locked the gate and padlocked it.


Shortly thereafter mas Arif returned home from Friday prayers


"Aman is Rin?" tanyakanya.


"Yes, no one is here" I replied.


"Rin.. I am confused to leave you, with conditions like this" complained Mas Arif.


"Vano doesn't want to be with her father, I'm afraid she took Vano forcibly, I'm afraid you're raped again" said Mas Arif.


"Mas... Did I just quit my job, and go with Mas Arif to Mimika?" my many.


"That's Rin's best way, the day I leave you here I'm definitely not calm" he said.


"Hmmm I'm also confused Mas, should how, or I make a deal with Vano's father huh?" I said bring out an idea.


"Is it possible that he will carry out the agreement Rin" said Mas Arif doubted.


"About his motive was he really eager to get Vano huh?" ask Mas Arif.


"I don't know" I said.


As we talked, we heard a knock at the gate.


"See who?" I'm going to Mas Arif.


"Rin... Vano's teacher's mother" cried Mas Arif from outside.


"Yes, I'll be there for a minute" I replied.


Then walk outside.


"Mom Via enter first" I said.


Then Ms. Via followed me from behind.


"Sit down first, ma'am" I said.


"Yes Miss Rinda" he answered.


Then I went inside to bring cold drinks and snacks, and brought back to the living room, Mas Arif went into the room not to go see Bu Via


In the living room, Mom and I chatted


"Bu Rinda started when to stay here?" ask Ms. Via.


"There are two months like Mom, at that time I was afraid to go home, followed by people of the past, finally living here, Mas Arif at that time had left for Papua Bu, he said, I live here with his mother" my story goes.


"If Vano's father was like that at school how was Mom?" tanyakanya.


"So ma'am, I'm also confused, from earlier also discussed this" I said.


"Mom...if Vano is in school how about Mom? safe isn't it? like that, pity her son" I said.


"Try Bu Rinda to discuss with his father Vano, what does he want?" said Ms. Via.


"Susah Bu. talking to him, he has been following Mom for a few days, like not liking Vano near Mas Arif, while Vano himself is more comfortable with Mas Arif" I explained.


We talked at length but there was no meeting point with this problem.


"Bu Rinda I say goodbye first" said Ms Via.


"Yes Mom, thank you very much Mom for dropping off my bike, oh yes keep Miss Via home how?" my many.


"Bu Lia will be here, ma'am, it may be close" said Ms Via.


That's right said Ms. Via not long after that Ms. Lia came.


"Don't go in first Ms. Lia" I asked.


"Other times Ms. Rinda is late in the afternoon" said Ms. Lia.


"Thank you" I said.


Then they left Arif's house and I closed the gate and then went into the house to Mas Arif's room, I saw Mas Arif and Vano sleeping fast, it was unbearable to wake them up, finally I went out of the room to the kitchen to cook after I finished cooking I took a broom to clean the house, take a bath and pray ashar.


I don't feel the time to show at four in the afternoon, the incident this morning really makes my mind sluggish.


"Mother.. milk" cried Vano from inside the room.


I took the milk box for Vano and went into the room giving the milk box, after receiving the milk box Vano got out of the bed and out of the room, I saw Mas Arif was still sleeping, I looked at his face, I saw his face, I kissed her cheeks, so good to me and Vano, I don't know how to repay my inner good.


"Rin.." said Mas Arif while raising his hands, marked he wanted to hug me, I approached Mas Arif and was in his arms.


"Mas...thank you for everything, Rinda doesn't know what to reply with?" I said.


"Honey, it's my duty to protect my wife" she said, peeping at my cheek and******my lips softly.


"Rin. I love you" she whispered.


"I love you too" I said


"Rin.." whispered gently in my ear.


"You again?" whispered tease.


He nodded his head, I got off the bed locking the door then walked over to my husband, kissed him affectionately and then enjoyed the paradise of the world.
