The Single Parent
Back to Papua



Two days later...


in the room I prepared what my husband would bring, my heart felt heavy to let go especially I was pregnant young, but I had to let my husband work again


"Rin." said my husband looking at me and hugging me.


"Mas..do not be like this, Rinda became sad" I said and sobbed crying, mas Arif wiped my tears and looked at me then kissed my flat stomach, still flat,


"Two months away Daddy's coming home baby, all right inside ya" she whispered softly


"Mas... See if it's all in the suitcase?" askaku, then mas Arif saw the contents of the suitcase


"Dear, Vano." cried Arif calling Vano.


"Yes yeah" said Vano then went into the room


"Vano.." said Mas Arif slowly while holding Vano and then sitting on the bedside, Vano sitting on his lap, I sat next to Arif mas


"Father tomorrow go to work, Vano do not fuss yes same mother, mother guarded" said mas Arif slowly while kissing Vano's cheek


"Vano... Vano will be a big brother, in the belly of the mother there is Vano's sister, Vano who is sinter huh" Arif mas advice


"Horee Vano will have a sister, have friends" said Vano happily, I stroked Vano's hair


"Let's play with dad, let mommy rest yes" said mas Arif then out of the room and I lay my body in the bed, stroking my stomach, and then, a healthy baby is always in my mind and I fall asleep


Then I woke up when Mas Arif slept beside me


"Vano where?" much


"It's Rin's sleep" replied mas Arif


"How's your body Rin? still not feeling well?" ask me Arif


"It's better" I replied


"Let's take a break" said mas Arif


"Wasn't you want to?" much


"No Rin, I'm afraid of why with our child" replied mas Arif


"Mas I was with Fera, he said it's okay, which is important slowly and carefully" I said


"What is really Rin?" ask me Arif


I nodded my head kissing my husband's lips intimate, we made love on the last night because tomorrow mas Arif has left for Papua


"Rin... Thank you..., are you okay?" ask me Arif


"Yes, I'm fine, let's go to bed, baby" I said


"Love you bidadiku" said my husband


"Love you too my husband" I said

In the morning the weather was a bit cloudy we were getting ready to get into the car, the time showed eight o'clock less, when we got in the car


"Vano's coming with me to the airport" Vano said


"Yes be careful, don't do anything, be a good boy" I said to Vano


Then the car went to my work place, I came down and I saw Nia in the back of the car


"Mas I'm coming down here, I'm going inside with Nia" I said


Then I got down from the car before I shook hands with my mother and kissed Vano, mas Arif came down and approached me and hugged me


"Don't make Rinda cry like this" I whispered


"Be careful dear" said Mas Arif then kissed me and got into the car, the car left me


"Hey Nia and come in" I said.


"Tumben your husband didn't drive you?" ask Nia


"You go to Nia airport, it's over" I said


At the parking lot we got down and slowly I climbed the stairs to my office, reached my desk, I turned on the computer, and took the map from the top of my desk, opening one report at a time, then input to the computer.


🌷🌷🌷🌷


At Juanda Airport, the time shows ten o'clock less than a quarter.


"Mom... Arif left first, send Rinda same Vano, if there is anything Arif immediately in the news" I said


Then kissing Vano and I shook hands with my mother then leaving them for the waiting room, my heart ached leaving Rinda, but how else, I had to go back to Papua for work, for Rinda, for Rinda, Vano and my son.


🌷🌷🌷🌷


Ms. Linda and Vano walked hand in hand out of the airport to the car park, then they got into the car


The car that Linda was driving out of the airport parking area, Vano was sitting in the middle seat, drawing


"Vano.. went straight home" Linda's mother said while driving the car.


"Yes, who will pick up Mother?" ask Vano


"Let's call your grandma home for a pick-up or how Vano" Linda's mother said


"Yes nek" said Vano

In Rinda's office...


Time showed at three o'clock more, my body felt very tired, but had been resting in musholla, the phone on my phone rang, I saw my mother-in-law calling me


"Assalamualaikum" said I


"Waalaikumsalam" replied the mother


"What's wrong, Vano what's fussy?" much


"No, Vano pinter with Rin, did I pick you up?" ask mom again


"No need ma'am, I just go home to transport online" I said


"It's okay, be careful, I've prepared food at home, I hope you like it" said the mother


"Yes ma'am thank you" I said then called on the lid of the phone


"Who called Rin?" ask Nia


"Oh.. mother-in-law, would like to pick me up, but it's not good Nia, I just take transportation online, I'm with you until the front huh" I said


"Yes, I'll drive home and that's okay" Nia said


"Your love must be night until home, I've been together until the front" I said


Time showed at four I left the office, slowly I went down the stairs


"How come there's no elevator in our office?" much


"You're a dream, Rin? or else delirious?" ask Nia


"Hehehe, just fantasize" I said, until under me the piggy bank of Nia and then down in front on the side of the road, I saw my phone, the driver of the online transportation heading towards me, before long a car with the same license plate on the app approached me, I immediately opened the front door and sat on the chair, then closed the door and the car drove away from where I worked towards Arif's mother's house


Five minutes later I got home, I gave money as an online transportation fee and got out of the car,


"Thank you" I said,


"Together" the driver replied


Then I opened the gate, Vano ran up to me


"Darling...not naughty today?" much


Vano shook his head, I went inside the house, Vano followed me from behind, met mom inside


"Rin... Is your condition okay?" ask mom


"Alhamdulillah ma'am, but quickly tired Rinda" I said


"You just rest Rin" said the mother


"Mas Arif.." I asked but cut off mom.


"Arif advised you take care of your pregnancy, if there is anything immediately tell him" said the mother


"Yes ma'am, Rinda to the room first" I said


I went into the room and immediately threw my body into the bed, before long I fell asleep in sleep.


Adzan maghrib woke me from my sleep, Vano, my inner, then I went out of the room intending to find Vano, it turns out Vano was neat seems to have taken a bath.


"Vano hello who bathed you?" much


"Grandmother" replied Vano, so good is the same mother Vano, my inner
