Wife Titipan
Chapter 31
Najma cradled her baby who is now even a week old, Akela now is fussy not to be taken down from her carrier. Najma who is not used to starting to sore his hands, all this time he lived too spoiled.
"Because you don't get rich gini Mama tired," complained Najma, tired of just being inside the house Najma intends to invite his son to enjoy the fresh breeze in a place where he usually relaxes.
But the plan was to be canceled when he heard the shrill voice that he was very familiar with. Endah, what did that woman come here for? Najma looked at her son with concern. All this time if Endah comes to the old woman's house it must hurt her.
"Oh, Pram deserves it now, it's rare to see me. It turns out you guys have a bastard son apparently!" she said cynically, staring at Najma who was seen trying to protect her baby
"Whose son are you carrying? He's definitely not a son of Pram? Who is your cheating man heh.. I would not be willing if your illegitimate child gets the inheritance from Pram!" endah's words hit Najma, he was very hurt his favorite daughter was said to be a bastard child. Inheritance, Najma scoffs at his parents even richer than Pram and he himself is an only child.
"Close your mouth! You have no right to insult my son!" said Najma loudly. Endah's eyes glared, Najma dared to speak louder than him. He wanted to slap her in the woman's face, but a burly hand held her arm.
"Mother!" pram's voice boomed, making Akela startled and cry.
"You take care of your mother," hiss Najma left Pram and Endah, and she immediately went to the room to calm her son. If this time Pram scolded him for defending Endah Najma would immediately leave the man.
"Pram, let go of Mom's hand!" Endah stared at Pram sharply, upset that Pram was preventing him from teaching Najma a lesson.
"Stop hurting Najma Mom."
"oo. So now you're defending Najma more than you are mother? Your mother just wanted to teach that cheating woman a lesson. I'm sure Najma's baby isn't your son!"
"Stop interfering with my married life Mom!" Pram is louder than Endah. For a long time he never spoke this harshly to his mother.
"You've now dared to yell at Mom?" endah said in disbelief, Pram who he taught to always obey him today has dared to snap at him.
"Yes. Because I already knew that Mom wasn't my biological parent" Pram said, making Endah's eyes glare at horror. The thing that he had been covering up had finally been revealed as well.

Najma took his phone, he typed the number he had memorized outside his head. He wants to contact someone who will take him away from here. Najma does not want her son's safety threatened.
If he had stood firm, now he had given up. At this time his son is the most meaningful in his life, the presence of his son awakened him from his stubbornness.
"Papa pick up, I want to go home," said Najma Lirih, he was waiting for the response given by his father.
"......."
"Yes, I gave up. I choose to end my relationship with Pram, I will return to be Papa's son." When I said that. Najma felt that something was piercing her heart.
Without asking her tears to just drip out, it was all over today. He will leave the house that bears witness to the story of his marriage, he will leave behind a man who has given him many colors in his life.
It all ends for the sake of the child, and Najma hopes that after he ends all this his life will have a better story, hopefully.

Bagas was very happy with Najma's decision, he immediately picked up his daughter regardless of his wife's ban. Risma is unable to accept her baby Najma.
"What about Mama?" Tanya Najma hesitated.
"Don't mind your mama, everything will be fine. After all, Akela is also her granddaughter." Najma nodded, the woman looked at her son.
It would be wrong if Akela was born from the seed of an ordinary man, but like anything Akela Najma still loves her. This baby's flesh and blood.
"Did Bayu know the birth of his son?"
"Yes, he said he wanted to meet Akela." Bagas looked at his grandson, the baby brought him back to the past. Akela's tiny face is similar to that of Najma as a baby.
"Here's the baby. Let Papa be fat," said Bagas. Without thinking twice Najma let Bagas carry Akela. As if knowing that the one carrying was his Grandfather Akela smiling as Bagas looked at him. Bagas fascinated made, it did not take long he immediately loved the tiny baby.
"You want to rest. Akela let Papa take care," said Bagas.
"The truth is, Papa will take care of Akela? Then I'm going to sleep, after Akela was born I rarely take a nap." Najma.
"Yes, but don't nap too long. How about Akela's gonna suckle."

Bayu hesitantly sets foot in the courtyard of Najma's parents' mansion. His arrival was greeted directly by ART in the house. He was sent to the family room. Najma was sitting there holding her baby.
Bayu's gaze was immediately fixed on the baby carried by Najma, but he hesitated to approach. Najma looks haughty, unlike a few months ago.
"Just sit down Bayu do not have to worry, it just so happens that now my parents are also not at home," said Najma, seeing Bayu hesitated when he wanted to greet him first. Bayu nodded with a stiff, silent atmosphere.
Bayu had no intention to open his voice, Najma realized the direction of Bayu's gaze.
"You want to hold Akela? it just so happened that he was opening his eyes now."
"Yes," said Bayu briefly, he accepted the baby nervously. For God's sake he was getting nervous as the baby looked at him, although Bayu knew the vision of the little baby was not too clear.
Bayu hesitantly kissed the baby's forehead, fearing that the child would cry when he kissed. But it turns out that after he kissed the boy just shut up. Which father would not fall in love when he saw the figure of his son who is funny like this.
"Well when are you going to divorce me?" Bayu was not too surprised by Najma's question, because he had guessed that Najma would ask this.
"I'll divorce you. But on one condition, you must want to meet my mother. He wants to see you and Akela" Bayu said without looking at Najma who widened her eyes because she did not expect Bayu's request just now.
"You told your parents about our marriage? Why Bayu? I told you to keep everything a secret."
"I can't lie to my parents, even if I lie. I guess it's useless, because someday they'll know that too." Najma seemed to gulp, unlucky he was made nervous with an intimidating Bayu look. He lost to a little boy.
"So that means, you want me to come with you? The truth is Bayu Akela is still very small, I do not want to take her to travel far," said Najma, he felt it was the right reason to reject Bayu's wishes.
Najma does not want to meet Bayu's parents. What will he tell them later on over the marriage charade that took place between him and Bayu.
"Wait until Akela is six months old. I want him to meet my parents. You must not refuse, however Akela my son, I am entitled to her. After Akela and you meet my parents, then I will divorce you," Bayu said uncontested, Bayu will not accept any reason from Najma.

"Ma, sure you don't want to hold Akela? He's funny like Najma when he was a baby." Bagas seduced his wife who had continued to frown.
"No. He's not my grandson." Risma snuffled ketus.
"Don't talk like that, you'll regret it." Bagas touched his wife's arm. Risma immediately withdrew her hand, she was annoyed Bagas brought Najma back without his consent.
I mean Risma gives an occasional lesson to Najma. What if just ignored the child, let him know the taste so much Pram's judgment to not listen to what the parents say. But Bagas who loves his daughter too much, not to the heart if you have to do that.
"It's up to Mama to behave like what. Papa wants to go to Najma's room first to see Akela," said Bagas intended to attract his wife's attention. Although curious about the face of his grandson Risma chose to still pretend not to care.
When Akela was finished being bathed by Najma. Bagas deliberately brought him to meet Risma, he fondled his granddaughter with love. Bagas noticed what kind of reaction his wife would show.
"Ma.." call Bagas.
"Why did you bring the baby here?"
"Do you want to know your grandson?"
"No!"
"Related?" Bagas ogling friendly, he did not despair to persuade his wife.
Bagas opened Akela's bedong, the cute baby wriggling comfortably free from the cloth that wrapped her body. His facial expression looks adorable. The indifferent Risma, finally began to melt as well.
The woman then touched her grandson's tiny hand. He observed the baby's face intensely, "similar to Najma as a baby" he said. Bagas smiled widely, his attempt to persuade his wife finally succeeded.
"What I said. Akela is similar to Najma." Risma frowned looking at the small hole on Akela's right cheek.
"He's got dimples." Bagas frowned, he just found out that. Najma had no dimples on her face. Remember Bagas with Bayu, the father of his grandson had two dimples on his face.
Akela's dimples are inherited from Bayu, but Bagas is unlikely to discuss that. "Let him be more sweet if you smile again," said Bagas echoed his wife's remarks just now.
