The Untouched Heart

Chapter 94 - The Unexpected Plan

“What's up? Why are you suddenly asking that? After almost three years had passed and Dira was about to turn two, you only thought of asking me now? Or do you not believe that she is our daughter?” my question is full of search.

“When the whole world doubts you, I am the only person in the world who keeps his trust in you. You know that's not what my question means, Za.” I was stunned for a moment to hear that sentence. Not on his word of faith, but on the call he addressed to me. Zaa. He called me Za.

“I don't want to talk about it. If you can't remember it, then I don't want to say anything either.” How could he ask such an intimate question when we were divorced and had not met for many years? And to be honest, I'd rather she remember the incident than her trust in me.

“Good. Ii'm sorry. It's not like I forgot about that. I can't remember it,” he said regretfully. “I just want to know one thing. What I am, you understand what I mean. What am I ...”

“Ma, I have to go to the toilet.” Hadi came to hold my hand. I took my eyes off Hendra and looked at my son. “Come, we go home now.”

I followed him immediately. He couldn't possibly urinate. We came home faster than we had left. Arriving home, I was confused to see three suitcases placed next to the door. Hadi rushed to the back of the house. I looked at Hendra questioningly.

“What is this?” tanyaku.

“You know our agreement. When Hadi was five years old, I would pick him up to be with me for a few days. But we have Dira too. I couldn't have taken her with me without taking you along,” she said.

“Where will we go?” many wonder.

“Apartment. Then we'll be out of town on Monday.” He's already planned everything.

“Why don't you spend the night here with us? It will be more practical and children do not need to adjust again in a new place.” I gave him advice.

“Did you forget? We're divorced. We don't live together in this house anymore.”

“Hendra, I'm trying to help you, okay? This stubbornness will not help you get closer to your children. I know them, so I know that a new place will not make them comfortable.”

“Because it is with a heavy heart that I carry you. So they know that they are not really in a foreign place.” The sound of laughter distracted us. Hendra stopped talking and looked towards Dira. My little girl was laughing, then went silent while looking at us in turn. “What Dira just laughed at us?”

“It looks like so.” I looked at my daughter in wonder.

“Mama, I'm done.” Hadi held my shirt. I looked towards him. “I'm hungry. Can we have dinner now? Why are our suitcases here, Ma? Are we going on vacation?”

“You want to eat good fried chicken?” Hendra lowered his body and spoke to Hadi. Of course the boy's face turned happy.

“What will we eat with Papa, Ma?” Hadi asked me.

“Iya, if you want.” I gave him the freedom to decide. It seemed that he was no longer awkward to be close to his papa. Mercifully.

“Mau. Mama is also coming?” tanyanya expectantly. I'm nodding.

It was as if everyone already knew Hendra's plan, Aliando and Sakti helped put our luggage into the trunk of his car. Me and the kids sat together in the back seat, while Hendra sat alone in the front seat.

After asking Kafin and his family, we stayed in the car more. Dira occasionally looked at me and Hendra. I don't know what he's thinking. Hadi held the statue of his papa and rested his head on my arm.

The restaurant we went to was Hadi's favorite meal. Without having to open the menu book, he already knew what to order. I ordered a different meal for me and Dira. In addition to ordering the main meal, Hendra also asked for some snacks for us.

“It's okay, Pa. Mom told me, Papa is at work. I can eat and go to school, all because Papa works. I understand.” I rubbed his hair praising his good attitude.

“Thank you.” Hendra smiled. “What's the fun show? You like your friends coming home?”

“Mama surprised me, Pa. Dira and I had lunch with Bu Yuyun, then looked for a book for Mama to read before going to bed. When we got home, everyone shouted, happy birthday ...” Hadi told me excitedly about what happened on his birthday yesterday.

The waiter delivered drinks and snacks first, so I cut pastels and fries so that Dira could easily eat them. I smiled to see Hadi still fun to tell stories while enjoying his snacks.

“Om Dicky invites me to meet tomorrow ...” I choked on my own food when Hadi told me that part. Hendra looked at me with narrowed eyes. "Mama's okay?"

“That's enough, son. You from earlier talk is endless, you must be hungry. Come on, finish your food. Soon you are sleepy when we are still outside.” I could feel Hendra still staring at me, but I ignored him.

My guess is correct. Hadi fell asleep in the car as we headed to Hendra's apartment. Dira was also deep in my arms. Fortunately, the distance between the restaurant and the residence was not far away. Several security personnel immediately helped remove and carry the suitcase in the trunk. Hendra gave the car keys to one of them, then carried Hadi.

We were in the elevator for a long time before the door opened and we arrived at the destination floor. Hendra did not open the door of his apartment using a key but rather by entering a number into a panel above the door knob. The taste of the rich is different. How much is this apartment? The officer arrived and Hendra asked them to leave the suitcase by the door.

The door opened and a puppy greeted us. I looked towards Hendra. She's keeping dogs? A Hendra who was very busy with his work, did not have time for his children, but had time to raise a dog?

My heart immediately melted to see how cute the puppy was. I forgot that I was upset with the owner. Looks like he just got separated from his mother. And I know he's some kind of Golden Retriever. The best dog to be a friend.

“This room Dira.” Hendra pointed at a door, I opened it. The room was designed specifically for girls. The choice of bed, wardrobe, wardrobe containing dolls and children's reading books, carpets, until the sofa is very feminine. My daughter would love to see the various dolls that are on the bed.

Hendra went in and put down a suitcase, then came out again. I opened the suitcase and chose one of Dira's pajamas. After helping my daughter perform her usual ritual before going to bed, I came out of her room.

This apartment is very luxurious and spacious. The selected furniture matches the serious and cold character of Hendra. He really changed a lot. Or this is the real him he never showed in front of me. Papa and Mama used to tease him who behaved differently in front of me than in front of others, including his own parents.

There was a sound of the door opening and closing again followed by a small greeting of the puppy. Hendra was hugging him. The dog wagged its tail while kissing its face. If only I could switch positions with the dog.

“Come, I show you your room,” take Hendra. I looked at him in wonder. It was clearly her room because it was the main room. “What's up?”

“If I sleep here, where will you sleep?” ask me to look around us.

“I'll sleep on the sofa,” he said casually. I looked towards the seat. I'm not sure with her tall body, the sofa will be comfortable for her. “You took a shower first or me?” The dog barked. Hendra rubbed his head to calm him down.

“Then, I'll just. So I won't bother you again later.” He put the dog on the floor. Hendra opened a door that turned out to be towards the clothes room. The dog barked incessantly while following him. I immediately closed the bedroom door so that his voice would not be heard reaching the children's room.

“Looks like he missed you after being left alone,” I said guess.

“He is not used to living here, so a lot of behavior. He was only six days apart from his mother and brother. Then suddenly lived with a man who was rarely at home. My friend forced me to accept it. I don't have time for this creature.” He sighed softly. “Ara, there are guests. Be polite a little.” The dog kept barking.

“Ara?” askaku. Hendra pegged for a moment. The dog barked slowly while looking at me. “You named your dog, Ara? Whatisthis? You're still mad at me until you give my name to a puppy?”
