What is my fault, sir?

Papi Visits

On Saturday afternoon, Neng was sitting in the living room with Ani's mother watching a re-broadcast of Alfarizi Zulkarnain's interview. Neng was just silently glued without any expression on her face. Upon hearing the latter's reply from him, Neng frowned and muttered to himself. "What does it mean just pray, PD really anyone wants with the Banana Tree like him?"

Ani's mother who heard Neng's voice immediately replied, "That was directed at Neng Mitha, did you not notice it?"

"No way ma'am, I can't believe it!"

"Neng Mitha can't believe just look later, can I ask?"

"Ask what Mom?"

"Was it been during your marriage with Al's papa that he ever uttered the word talaq?"

Neng frowned, thinking the word had never once been spoken by him during his four-month stay. Neng who used to be an innocent and innocent Neng did not know about marriage or separation. Has been in residence for more than eight years whether it can still be said to be husband and wife.

"Never really ma'am." answered Neng honestly.

"I've judged all along that you still think he's your husband, because you always say that even if indirectly, and you never get in touch with other men."

"Kok Mommy can judge that, I have always shied away from her just as much as the men who approached me; after all Mom, we have been separated for more than eight years, after all, should it fall talak dong?"

"Neng Mitha parnah is suing for divorce from her?"

"Never, Mom."

"What if he still considers Neng Mitha his wife, because among you there is Alfian?"

"Come on, ma'am, I'm dizzy don't mention anything unimportant!"

"Neng Mitha, just listen to the advice of this old man, you are still young open your heart just a little, it is time you are happy, you are happy, than you are pursued by Mr. Rangga Siregar better turn it back!"

"Well Mom, I'm comfortable like this."

"At least you think of Alfian dong Nak's happiness, don't you see how happy your son is with his papa?"

Neng was pensive again, when it came to his son's happiness he could always sacrifice anything. When I remembered how painful it used to be to live one roof for four months the pain and pain again felt in the heart. Remembering his struggle to raise Alfian alone it feels not be required the presence of anyone including his papi Al.

"Neng Mitha ...?" Ani's mother had not been able to continue her advice came Ibu Yuni from the living room approaching them. "Neng Geulis, there are guests who want to meet Bang Alfian."

"Alfian in his room, Mom," Neng replied without seeing who had come.

"All right, come on, son please come in!"

"Thank you, Mom." The voice of a stranger to Neng.

Neng and Ibu Ani spontaneously looked at the baritone voice behind Ibu Yuni. Ani's mother immediately smiled and nodded her head. Neng just stared at him without being able to say a word.

He immediately walked following Mother Yuni from behind walking closer to Neng who was each pensive, "Thank you Neng Geulis" he said as he passed and smiled sweetly.

Mother Yuni and she walked through the living room towards the stairs, but Alfian came and went down the stairs while running to see who had come, "Papiiiii ...!"

"Hi son, Papi misses you so much."

"Al misses Papi too, does Papi not miss Mami?"

"Very ...." Alfarizi glanced at Neng for a moment after answering his son's question.

Unfortunately, the one who missed only did not dare to see and pretended not to hear. Neng just busied herself with playing mobile phones, Ani's mother just smiled at Neng who looked cute but like wrong behavior.

"Of course dong; Mami ... Al and Papi go in the room first, right?"

Neng just nodded his head without looking, he pretended to concentrate on the phone he was holding. Alfarizi walked in the arms of Al to walk up the stairs. While Ibu Ani and Ibu Yani held back a laugh and closed her mouth so as not to comment.

"Why shut up like that, ma'am?"

"That's Neng Mitha, anu ...!" answer Mother Yuni.

"Very ... Neng Mitha, he misses you so much!" ani's mother replied.

"What the heck is this mother of two, I'm going to go to the room!"

"Who are you going to Neng Mitha's room?" chirping Mother Yuni.

"Al ..?" room ...?" Ani's mother did not continue her words.

Neng did not answer the jokes of his two foster mothers, passing away leaving them without a word. At this time his heart and mind could not be invited to walk. Just trying to use logic so that his mind can be invited to compromise does not follow the heart.

Arriving at the room still Neng felt restless, in the next room there was someone who had wanted to be forgotten. The man who always made it could not know another man. He was just pacing around in his room not knowing what to do.

Finally Neng entered the bathroom, soaking his body with warm water and the aroma of therapy. Wanting to relax his body and mind could calm down. Though he had taken a shower an hour ago, even he soaked his body without taking off his full clothes.

Almost dusk passed, Neng was still pensive and closed his eyes in the bath-up bathroom. Time and time again calmed his mind but still his heart fidgeted erratically. It felt like eight more years had passed but it was like it had just happened.

In Alfian's room they chatted, letting go of longing and joking until they forgot the time. Although many times Alfarizi glanced at the door hoping Neng came to join, but what he hoped would not reveal the trunk of his nose. The longing in his pendamnya in the heart never goes away even though he had seen it for a moment.

Alfarizi asked his son a lot about Neng's daily activities, from hobbies, favorite foods, which he did not like to habits while in the room. Alfian plainly answered all his papi questions honestly. Alfarizi really prepared all that stuff to approach his wife back.

After getting a lot of information from his son about Neng, Alfarizi intends to go home, "Al, it's already dusk Papi came home first!"

"Yes Papi, did Papi not see Mami first?"

"Yes dong, Al who called Mami, said Papi wanted to go home that way!"

"Let's go to Mami's room, Pi!"

Alfarizi smiled wryly as Alfian took her to Neng's room. At least can enter his room, can smell the perfume was very happy. Alfarizi simply walked behind his son until he opened the door.

"Mommy ... Where's mommy?"

Alfarizi inhaled the smell of Neng's favorite vanilla perfume that burst into his nose. It was like getting a durian to collapse Alfarizi's heart at this moment. Unfortunately the woman he was looking for was not in the room.

"Where's Mami, Al?"

"No idea, maybe in the bathroom, Pi for a second, Al call first!"

"Tok .. tok ..tok!"

"Yes ....!" yelled Neng from inside.

"Mommy, Papi wants to go home!"
