Wife Titipan
Chapter 33
Najma finally remembers clearly who Ningsih is. Bayu's mother turned out to be his nanny who he used to call Mbak. When she was nine years old, she stopped being her nanny because she wanted to get married.
Even though Najma was a child, she remembered Ningsih's face. When they were just alone. Najma again reassures Ningsih that she is the child the woman once raised.
"Where could you be Najma then. If so, you must be old now" said Ningsih, although Najma was thirty-two years old, but she looked like a woman who had just turned her twenties. It was only natural that Ningsih did not believe his confession.
"I was a kid at the time." Ningsih noticed Najma once again, the shape of Najma's round eyes was similar to the child he was raising at that time.
"I don't want to believe this. But, you are indeed similar to the child at that time," he said. Najma let out a long sigh, she did not expect that things would get complicated.
Meanwhile Bayu was in trouble feeding his son. Akela kept moving her head back and forth when Bayu wanted to bribe her. As if intentionally wanting to prank her Papa.
"Hallo nephew!" Sapa Yuda's. Akela looked at Yuda with a puzzled expression. If he can talk maybe Akela will question the similarity of the faces of Judah and Bayu.
"Look at Bayu your son seems confused to see the two of us." Bayu rattled, he brushed off Judah's hand when his brother wanted to pinch Akela's cheek.
"Have gone there! You just disturb," said Bayu ketus.
"I'm worried about your son. If it wasn't my nephew I'd wait for him to grow up. If it is made a good wife. Still a baby is beautiful like this again when he grows up later," said Yuda origin.
Actually he was a little jealous of Bayu because he managed to get a woman who was so beautiful as his wife. Even though the wedding that happened was just a show.
"Basic crazy!" Bayu immediately pulled out Yuda's head. Akela immediately laughed at the ridiculous behavior of the two brothers. When Yuda wants to avenge Bayu's treatment. Their father Deheman made the two twin brothers turn into kittens.
"If you are in front of a child, don't be like that. You guys are grown up, stop being childish. What else are you Bayu, you already have a child." The two twin brothers compactly nodded their heads. Although Wardi spoke in a low tone but firmness in his speech will not be able to both of them object.
Wardi looked at his grandson, he rubbed Akela's head. "If it's big don't be like them" he said, as if understanding Akela nodded her head. Wardi who does not have a daughter is very anxious to make, he may be angry with the actions of Najma and Bayu who seemed to play tricks on marriage. But Wardi can't hate Akela, no matter how much the boy is her grandson. There's blood flowing down the tiny body.

The night is getting late. But Bayu and Najma did not sleep. The people of the house may at this point have already dissolved into their respective dreamland, but that is not the case for Najma and Bayu.
The two occasionally spoke on topics that were briefly unimportant at all. You could say it was just a small talk. Bayu hugged his little daughter. Although the sleeping child's face continues to display a variety of expressions that make it even more adorable in the eyes of Bayu.
"So my mom used to work for your family?" Bayu finally questioned it. Najma nodded slowly.
"When I was seven your mother worked in place of my first nanny. Until I was nine, your mother said she would stop being my nanny. At first I thought it was because your mother didn't feel at home because I was a very naughty little girl, but Mama said. Ms Ningsih quit her job because she wanted to get married" Najma said.
When he first worked for his family. Ningsih was only eighteen at the time, it was only natural that Najma would call him Ma'am.
"At that time I asked my parents if I could visit Mbak Ningsih's hometown. They agreed, but until months and years passed my wish was never granted by them. I started to forget about Mbak Ningsih and now I don't think that you're her son."
Najma smiled wryly. Faced with the fact that she now has a husband twelve years younger than her. Soon he will be thirty-three years old, but he is lucky because of his youthful face. People are often fooled by their appearance.
"After the two of us split up what will you do after?" Ask Bayu. Najma breathed a rough sigh. After this, his life will be heavier.
"Then you. What do you do after we split up?" Najma asked Bayu. The man looked uncomfortable as Najma who had a sharp eye stared at his face.
"Maybe expand my plantation business" Bayu said.
"Hm, your mother said this afternoon. For the size of a young man your village is already very well established. You can expand your plantation business in a short time. You also have a lot of rice fields by hiring people here. Wow that's cool Bayu, try you tell me how it started."
Bayu seemed hesitant to tell the story. Even though it was true what Najma said earlier. For the size of the village youth he was already very well established, but still he was not comparable to Najma.
"I've been working at a very young age, until after my savings were quite a lot I spent everything to buy the plantation. It was then that I decided to work in Jakarta and ended up being your driver. So that time besides receiving money from my job as a driver, I also got money from my plantation. From that I expanded my plantation slowly, and became what I am today. Uh, but there's also your interference in helping my plantation."
"You're great Bayu is as accessible as you are now. Akela must be proud to have a father like you." Najma said that sincerely.
Believe me when Bayu tells this he still feels ashamed of himself who is not comparable to Najma. Moreover, he did not finish his school, Bayu at that time chose to quit school because Bayu felt that he was lazy in studying was not suitable for school.
After graduating from school, the goal is definitely to work as well. I better just work, why also tired of school. Thought Bayu at that time. Even when Bayu made that decision, he was beaten by his father. Basically the wayward Bayu he does not care even though his body is blue-blue beaten.
Bayu had run away from his parents' house and chose to live with his good-natured uncle and work with his uncle who was a lawyer. After a few months passed, Wardi's anger at Bayu finally subsided. Bayu finally returns home to obey what his mother said, with a note not to force him to return to school.
Bayu who decided to work alone rather than school, really active in working. He was not familiar with the word tired, until finally he who dated Elsa was asked to immediately marry the girl. But Bayu is not ready.
Bayu used to love Elsa, but to get married at the age of those who were still a dozen years at that time Bayu was not ready. At least Bayu wants to get married after he turns 20 years old. Until finally Bayu spent all his savings to buy a plantation that actually still belongs to his own uncle.
Bayu then stated that he did not have the capital to marry Elsa and had to go to search for funds for her marriage. Though it was only Bayu's wits to postpone his marriage, then fate brought him to work as Najma's personal driver and never thought before. A complicated story takes place between them.
After running out of topics to discuss. They were silent for quite a while, Bayu who had not been sleepy got out of bed, he opened the desk drawer to pick something up. Najma's eyes immediately widened to see what Bayu took.
"Wood! You still smoke? At that time you promised to stop smoking, it's not good for Bayu's health." Najma scolded her husband. Bayu's face looks wry.
"It's not easy to just quit, but I'm not smoking as badly as I used to. Now in a day just one stick," said Bayu, in a day he could spend a pack of cigarettes. But since Najma asked him to stop, Bayu began to reduce his bad habit.
"Although only one stick you still smoke! If you keep smoking you can't hold Akela." Threaten Najma with bulging eyes.
"I don't smoke in front of him." Bayu did the defense.
"Just like Bayu! Your breathing must smell of cigarettes. Now throw away your cigarettes!" Najma said firmly. Bayu knows that smoking is harmful to health, but the man still does it.
"But my mouth is bitter now." Najma rolled her eyes annoyed at the reason that Bayu said again.
"In my bag there's candy. You can eat it so that your mouth does not taste bitter" said Najma. Getting such an order from Najma Bayu immediately did so.
Nothing, than he's not allowed to touch Akela. After all Najma asked Bayu to stop smoking, also for Bayu's own health.
