Feeling no business anymore, Ajeng let Bhishma without any desire to invite him to talk, what else is just chatting.
Bhishma took a chair and sat down to see Ajeng's activities still finishing his cooking. He missed these moments. His gaze fixedly looked at Ajeng who remained busying himself without caring for him.
Ajeng knew that Bisma was still in his kitchen. He just sighed finishing some more dishes that he was going to make. He had planned to invite Hilman after his return from traveling with Dimas to have lunch together at his home.
“Jeng, I will take Lala for a walk with me,” finally Bisma started to open her voice, because seeing Ajeng who was silent thought of him as if he did not exist.
“Please,” reply Ajeng briefly.
He immediately arranged the menu on the table in front of Bhishma. His face remained unfriendly flat. He did not want to waste his precious time just to accompany Bhishma to talk.
The smell of food is so tempting to Bhishma's taste. He has not enjoyed cooking for a long time. Want it he tasted all the menus that used to be used to make Ajeng for him.
In his heart he admitted that Ajeng cuisine is very suitable on his tongue, like mama's cooking that always makes him long to go home. But now he has to start from the beginning. The slightest admonition did not care about him. But Bisma is not discouraged, let alone talak that he said has not been processed and delegated related parties.
“Can I take a ride to the bathroom?” Bisma reopened the conversation.
Now the eyes of the two meet. Ajeng's frowns realizing that Bisma's appearance is tangled, with the t-shirt and trousers he wore last night. He also saw the paper bag that Dimas brought was in the hands of Bhishma.
“Please go to Dimas room upstairs,” fast Adjeng without looking at Bhishma.
Seeing Ajeng who was stiff and reluctant to look at him made Bhishma's heart melt. With slow steps he headed upstairs. His view surrounds the state of the house that the former lives.
This house is simple compared to their house which is now empty of inhabitants. But Bhishma feels calm and comfortable while in it. He saw a room that was quite large.
Without thinking for long he entered it. A neatly arranged room. Toys are arranged in several shelves. He was sure, this is where his little daughter's daily life plays. His eyes looked at the photos on the wall. There was no image of him inside some large figura attached to the wall. All were dominated by photos of their daughters from infancy to the age of almost two years.
Bhishma's eyes were misty as she looked at the photo of her daughter's birthday celebration. Based on the date stated, he saw the celebration take place 3 months ago. Mama and Mayang seem present and are in the same frame as Ajeng and Lala.
He was too far removed from his daughter's life. In fact Hilman participated in the photo even though the distance is not side by side with Ajeng. He promised that from now on he will be in control so that all can return to what they used to be.
He sped up the bath so his daughter wouldn't wait too long. In his heart he was grateful that these past few months were getting closer to Lala, so there was no chance for Hilman to get close to his daughter. Moreover, he rarely met Hilman at Ajeng place while having breakfast with Lala.
He looked at Dimas's fairly simple room with an old-fashioned laptop available on his study desk. He felt sad, because he thought the marriage they lived would only benefit Ajeng's side.
Now he realized that Dimas' life was very simple. Even though when viewed from the efforts of his brother, he should also enjoy the success that has been achieved Ajeng.
From now on, not only Lala will he suffice all his needs, Dimas will get rights that he has never given. With a raging feeling, Bhishma came out of Dimas' room. All the plans he had put in his head to start everything before it was too late.
Lala was already beautiful with her braids waiting for the new Bhishma to come down from Dimas' room. Ajeng stood holding Lala's hand that was ready to be invited to the road.
“Mother comes too right?” Bisma.
He wanted to feel how exciting it was to walk with his little family. As he had seen all this time when he was eating out together with his co-workers. His mind is open now. The time he wants to repeat and make the best use of it with Lala and Ajeng of course.
“Ade go with dad now yes .... “
“Yes mother .... “ Lala replied with a funny mimic.
“Honey Mother first ... “ Ajeng immediately brought his face closer to the cheeks of his little princess.
“Muah .... “ Lala kisses the right and left cheeks of her mother in spirit.
Bhishma watched the scene in front of him with a feeling that was hard to describe. He realized the stupidity he had done by releasing a small family that in fact now gives a speck of happiness.
“Daddy is not dearest?” Bisma also now crouched beside Ajeng.
“Emuah .... “ Lala kisses her cheeks while laughing.
Ajeng and Bhishma's views met for a moment which Ajeng immediately broke off by staring at Lala again.
“Ade don't be naughty yes ... “ the message is soft.
“Dad dearest unda?” lala's innocent voice made Ajeng transfixed.
He looked at Bisma in annoyance. How could the stone man say a prank and respond to his innocent little princess.
Can't he do something that's already off-limits to him? Especially with the cold treatment of Bhishma all this time against him. Ajeng tried to smile in front of his little daughter despite the pain that perched in his heart.
Frankly, he lost face when he looked at Bhishma. He was ashamed to remember all his aggressiveness while still tied to marriage with the stone man who was now looking at him intently.
“Ade the road does not need to go far. And go home is not too late, ade will have to bobo noon, soybean later .. “ said Ajeng gently while hugging his daughter before standing back up.
Bhishma knew that the word was actually directed at her. But he knew, Ajeng refused to look at his face.
“Mari princess beautiful dad .... “ Bisma directly grabbed Lala in her cradle, “Mother don't worry, before father's lunch and ade already back.”
Ajeng nodded slowly. His gaze focused only on his daughter who had now passed from before him to the door.
Hearing Lala's chirping along the way made Bisma's heart warm. Just this time he took the time to bring his little daughter to enjoy the day.
Since it's Saturday, many offices are off. The streets are not as crowded as a regular work day. The bisma took Lala to Malang Town Square. She wants to spend time with Lala and her ex.
He seriously wanted to repeat from the beginning. Now he realized the importance of a family. As the head of his office said the other day, that the family is the most comfortable place to return.
After all, if you see the cheerful face of the baby, everything will disappear changed cheerfulness. Especially with the service of the wife who is always available, even though she is sometimes tired of all her daily activities.
