Wife Titipan
Chapter 40
Bayu is now visiting Akela at Najma's house, her son is now eight months old. He had started to crawl and stand up, he was also able to say a few words even though it was unclear.
"Let's see it's Papa." Najma pointed at Bayu, Akela smiled broadly at Bayu's presence. What's more after Bayu held her, Bayu kissed Akela's cheeks getting rounder.
"Hallo you are more funny," said Bayu, he was getting anxious with Akela.
"Fuck!" Akela said, making Bayu widen his eyes. Akela called him Papa for the first time.
"He can do it?" Bayu looked at Najma, the woman nodded confirming.
"He taught me a lot" said Najma, the woman's face was bright. He must be very happy, inversely with Bayu.
"You're going back with your ex-husband?" Bayu asked later, Najma grimaced at the look of dislike in Bayu's eyes.
"Yes, but not anytime soon." Najma confirms Bayu's question. Pram is lucky that even though he often hurts Najma still gives him a chance, Bayu thought.
"What did you bring for Akela?" Najma stared at the paper bag Bayu was carrying. Every visit Bayu always brings something to Akela.
"It's just a doll. I hope Pram will love Akela and treat her like a real child." Bayu spoke with a cynical impression, he was actually not sure people like Pram could be a good father.
Even though Pram loves Akela later, Pram can educate her to be a good child. His wife alone he could not educate him, what else a child.
"Let's calm Bayu, Pram loves Akela even the two of them are now close," said Najma.
"Good, may he be a good stepfather." Bayu deliberately suppresses the word Stepfather, he is very jealous imagining Akela's closeness with Pram. His position as a father over time will surely be replaced.
"If you can't take good care of Akela, just give her to me, let me take care of her" Bayu said.
"You're nothing Bayu, I'm his mother I know how to take care of my son." Najma was offended by Bayu's remarks, Bayu indirectly considered her as a mother who was not good at taking care of children.
"Who knows when you get back with Pram your treatment will change." Bayu still with his cynical attitude, he was hard to make other people's children enjoy the results. Bayu really does not want if Akela later wasted by Pram.
Najma was silent with a sullen face, she no longer responded to Bayu's words. As a father who can't always be around his son, Najma understands that Bayu is worried about Akela.
“Pah...” Akela called Bayu whose face now looks unfriendly. Although annoyed with Najma Bayu still attention with Akela.
“Why dear? You want to play?” Akela shook her head, she even tugged at Bayu's clothes. Najma, who spends a lot of time with Akela, understands what her son wants.
“Akela kayaknya want to be invited to travel Bayu. How about we go to the page and train Akela to learn the way,” said Najma.
“Alright,” Bayu said, he stepped ahead of Najma. Akela continued to babble as if inviting Bayu to talk through her unclear chatter, she seemed to convey her feelings of pleasure because she was visited by her Papa.
Bayu was made anxious with Akela's behavior, he wanted this child to always be with him, if only Bayu did not have common sense he would take Akela away even though they would only live together.

Pram comes again to Najma's parents' house, his goal is definitely to meet with Najma. I never thought he would meet Bayu. The young man wanted to go home.
"Of course, he's my son." Bayu pressed his words, Pram nodded faintly he understood to Bayu's dislike. Pram already knew that Bayu put his heart to Najma.
"I pray that you get a better life partner" said Pram sincerely, Bayu just muttered. It's easy to move on.
Pram then meets Najma, the woman is now holding her child. Akela's asleep, but Bayu deserves to come home.
"Tumben at this hour he was asleep," said Pram, usually Akela is still busy crawling to and fro and invite Najma to play.
"He's tired of playing with Bayu." Akela was so enthusiastic about the arrival of her Papa, Bayu was also very comfortable serving Akela.
Pram sighed harshly, he asked Najma to put Akela down first. Now the woman approached him, they sat facing each other.
"Najma there's one important thing I want to talk about." Najma's feelings began to be uncomfortable, he believed that what Pram wanted to say now was not a good thing.
"What's that?" Najma asked, with a curious look on her face mixed with anxiety.
"I can't get you back married anytime soon, I've done a lot wrong. I want to fix myself first, so I won't see you for a period of time that I can't determine. Najma, will you wait for me?"
Najma looked down, could she wait for Pram to come back to her. Pram himself could not give certainty when the man would return.
"Why do you have to go?" Pram smiled wryly, he rubbed the woman's head.
"I'm going to get better, I'm going to come back. So please wait for me and keep your love for me." Pram locked the woman's eye bead.
"I'll wait for you, but don't go too long, I'm not sure I'll stay faithfully waiting for you. There's gonna be a lot of things that change." Najma finally accepts Pram's request.
Pram hugs Najma, they've known each other since a dozen years ago. Falling in love with each other at the age of teenagers, now they will be separated for a long time.
But Pram makes sure this isn't a breakup for good, he leaves only for a while until he manages to improve himself and returns to Najma to start their relationship all over again.
*****
Najma meets her best friend Jihan, and their relationship has improved. Jihan looks anxious with Akela who is very cute, not to mention the baby's round cheeks that seem to ask to be bitten.
"Why do you have to split with your brondong anyway?" Jihan asked in a protesting tone, Najma was seen rolling her eyeballs.
For Jihan, better Bayu the brondong. Rather than the kunyuk Pram, but Najma instead leaves Bayu who can clearly give him offspring.
"I don't love him. After all, he was still young, he must have thought a lot about having fun like a man his age." Najma says the reason plainly.
"But Bayu says your love isn't it? after all, you already have children, I'm sure that Bayu can become an adult. You and Pram used to get married young, too," Jihan said, in a ninyir style.
"That's a different story, that's it. Don't discuss it anymore, we're divorced too" Najma said, avoiding Jihan to discuss the topic further. He no longer wants to bring it up, he and Bayu have ended communication both occur only because there is Akela between the two.
Although it is hard for Bayu to separate from him, but Najma is sure that Bayu can quickly forget about him and find a replacement. The man will be happy, with a woman who is definitely not him.
