"Assalamualaikum deck?!", said a man with the sweetest smile.
"W-waalaikumussalam... Agum", replied Lintang lirih.
Ratih's mother who saw Agum's sudden arrival was also no less surprised. Agum smiled wryly then approached Ratih's mother and kissed the back of her hand.
Latitude was still standing glued to see Agum standing before his eyes. To the extent that he forgot to invite Agum to enter the house.
"Let's go in mas" said Ratih's mother. And the words of Ratih's mother also made Lintang aghast.
Finally they went into the living room and sat down on the sofa that was there.
Agum scanned every corner in this living room. His layout has hardly changed from a year ago, the last time he was here. But there is something different. The picture frame of her wedding with Lintang which was once displayed on one of the walls in this room, is now no longer visible.
"How are you going on deck and mom?", said Agum opened the conversation.
"Alhamdulillah we are good mas, how to do it yourself?", asked Ratih's mother. While Latitude is still fixated with the sudden arrival of Agum.
"Alhamdulillah is good too ma'am".
"Oh yes, wait a minute, I make a drink first" said Ratih's mother while stepping into the kitchen.
Only answered with a nod of the head by Agum. He then spread his gaze toward the still-riveted latitude.
Agum smile. "How are you doing deck?".
"Well mas, thank God", said Lintang in the end can control all his shock.
"Where's the deck?, what's he doing?".
"Nana is good too. He's still at school".
Agum was flabbergasted to hear the answer from Lintang. "N-Nana's in school?".
Latitude nodded. "Yes mas. Early last month he started going to Kindergarten".
Agum nodded slowly. He stole a little look towards the latitude. What he feels is still the same. He still loves Lintang. But immediately he had to get rid of all those feelings because after all the actions he had done so far had made this destruction.
"Daddy, I want to say something".
"What is mas?"
Agum breathed deeply. However, the latitude must know the real situation. "The child conceived by Reni is not my son".
Flabbergasted latitude. "I mean mas?".
Agum lowered his gaze. "Reni set me up and lied to all of us".
The latitude frowned trying to understand Agum's words. Agum who saw the Latang facial expression could only smile bitterly. "The last time I had contact with her, she was already one week pregnant with another man".
Flabbergasted latitude. "Mas Tomi?"
Agum. "Not Tomi, but another man, who knows". Agum took a deep breath again. "Reni did that to frame me and to destroy us".
Latitude Lips clenched, he did not expect if there was a woman who could do it all. "Astaghfirullahal. Why is he that big a mas?".
Agum. "Now, go deck. All this time he's just been obsessed with me and wants to beat you".
"Yes Allah".
Agum's eyes were reddened, the tightness in his chest back he felt. "I'm sorry deck, because of me, we've all experienced this destruction".
Lintang shook his head and tried to master all the tightness in his chest. "It's over, no need to talk about it anymore. All of this has indeed become a provision that we have to live".
Agum smile. He stared at the face of the latitude in front of him. Well-favoured. Yes, the woman who was once his wife is now more and more beautiful.
The frowning latitude gained a gaze from Agum who was like that. "What's wrong?".
Agum flinched which made him smile clumsily. "You look more and more beautiful deck".
The cross only lowered his face. Embarrassed, getting a compliment from her ex-husband.
Agum looked back at Lintang's face carefully. "Are you currently happy deck?".
Flabbergasted latitude. What kind of question does Agum ask. "No one is happy with a farewell". Lintang sighed deeply. "But so far I've always tried to make myself happy so that I can be a strong mother to my child".
Agum nodded. He understood what the latitude said. "If I were to ask you for the second time to accompany my life, would you be willing to deck?".
The eyes of the Latitude were rounded hearing the speech that Agum had just spoken. "I mean mas?".
Agum takes a deep breath and then he exhales slowly. "I have always lived in regret for what I have done to our family. After I found out that the child that Reni conceived was not my flesh blood, I also decided to live in solitude. But it seems I can't, I still need you as well as Nana to be the source of my life". Agum stared fixedly at the two eyeballs of Latitude. "If I want to refer, are you willing to accept me back, deck?"
Ratih's mother who had just arrived in the living room suddenly stopped her footsteps when she heard Agum say that. He chose to stand behind the curtain that connects the living room with the living room with a tray in his hand.
Lintang was no less surprised to hear Agum express his intention to ask for a referral. The latitude that had earlier lowered his face then raised his head.
"Mas Hanan?!!", he said softly when he saw a man standing at the door holding a little girl who was sound asleep.
Lintang stood up then approached Hanan and tried to grab Nana's body to move into her carrier. "Form first mas", said Lintang please.
Hanan smiled. "I'm just sitting outside on deck?".
Lintang nodded then rushed to Nana's room to put her to sleep.
****
Hanan and Agum were seen sitting on the terrace of the Lintang house, with guava juice and banana chips accompanying them. I don't know how many times they've sat facing each other like this, but it feels like this time it's much better than it has ever been.
"I saw you getting closer to Nana" said Agum opening a conversation between them.
Hanan placed the glass that had been in his hand. "I'm just trying to fill the emptiness of Nana's heart that might miss the figure of a father".
Agum smiled knot. "I want to refer to Lintang, don't you mind?".
Jem!!
An invisible knife like a punch right in Hanan's chest. Although he was close to Nana for almost a year, Nana's relationship with her biological father was still closer than her. However, the blood bond is thicker than anything else.
Although Hanan was a little unwilling if Lintang returned to her ex-husband, but she tried to always put forward her common sense.
Hanan smiled bitterly. "All I give back to Lintang. If indeed he received a referral from the sampeyan, I would respect him. Because after all, Lintang will definitely decide something that is best for his life".
"Are you not jealous or angry if I want to go back to him?", asked Agum.
Hanan smiled faintly. "Why would I be angry if indeed by going back to Sampeyan Lintang could be happy".
Agum was seen nodding at the words spoken from Hanan's lips. This is one of Hanan's advantages, he always ranks the happiness of Latitude above his own happiness.
I feel inferior. He should have stayed in Surabaya to drown himself in his solitude. But at that time, he felt he still had a chance to be back with Lintang, after knowing the trap of Reni. Finally he ventured back to Jogja to ask for a reference with Lintang.
But after seeing Lintang who was so happy with her current state and Nana also looked so close and comfortable with Hanan, Agum felt like a shameless person. He felt to be a destroyer of happiness Lintang that he had worked hard to build since his departure.
Agum smiled bitterly. It is impossible at this time that he robs Lintang of happiness by asking her back to him. Agum looked at Hanan's face. "Fight to get the latitude".
Hanan. "Sampleian means?",
Agum threw his breath rough. "I'll take my word to re-refer with Lintang. I believe that Lintang and Nana will be happy with you".
Dahi Hanan frowned trying to understand Agum's words. And Agum returned with his smile. "Please take good care of Lintang and Nana. My regret will be over if I can see Lintang getting a man as perfect as you".
****
"Tomorrow will you go to Surabaya again?", asked Nana while eating the dragon fruit in front of her.
Agum rubbed gently on Nana's head. "Dear, tomorrow I have to go back to work. Nana's here with Hanan?".
Nana nodded steadily. "Yes dad, o'm a good guy. Nana Seneng can be both handsome om".
Agum's heart was slightly pinched. Look, at this time her biological children are so happy with Hanan. He would definitely be the most evil man if he had to take back the happiness of his son.
"Nana's happy that Hanan is Nana's father?"
Nana knitted her brows as if she did not understand what Agum said. "Will she have two fathers?".
Agum nodded. "Yes, Agum's father as well as Hanan's father!".
Instantly Nana nodded innocently. "Cens well, grin".
Agum's words suddenly made Lintang surprised half to death. Especially the words of her ex-husband. And he could only look at Agum's face with a question mark.
Agum spread his gaze towards the latitude. He stood up from his seat and approached his ex-wife.
"I revoke my desire to refer you to the deck" said Agum lirih.
The latitude scrunched his forehead. Agum smiled bitterly again. "I shouldn't have ruined the happiness that you and Nana had from Hanan". Agum breathed deeply. "After coming from here, I will try to release you sincerely. And of course with a relief because you get the figure of a man like Hanan. Pick up your happiness with Hanan, deck".
"Mas?!"
Agum smile. "This is the fruit of patience as long as you stand by me, deck. Gaining tremendous love and affection from a man like Hanan. And you deserve all of that. Promise me you'll be happy living with her".
