Photo Albums

...🌷Happy Reading🌷...

Three days have passed, Fadhil is still silent. He was reluctant to talk to anyone at home, even Kei also became a victim of the father's silence.

Maya who was getting sick of her husband's behavior chose to intervene. This afternoon, Maya will pick up Kei at school, and she will also meet her husband's ex-wife, who is none other than Disa. There was something he needed to discuss with the woman.

.......

"Mama..." Kei cheered so out of the classroom. He runs and hits Maya's loyal body waiting for him in the schoolyard.

"How's school, honey?" ask Maya while rubbing the princess' head.

"Seru, Ma. Last time Kei drew and dyed," he replied happily. "But Kei is sad too, Ma. Qilla doesn't go to school here anymore, said the teacher she's moved in." Suddenly Kei was suddenly lethargic.

Maya is shocked, her intention to meet Disa can not be realized. However, the woman did not lose her mind, her determination was already unanimous. Either way, today he must meet the woman of Fadhil's past.

"Honey, here's mama whispering something." Maya crouches in a crouch with her daughter, then whispers something in Kei's ear.

.......

Maya and Kei go to meet the principal, they want to ask for the address of Disa and Aqilla's residence.

"Sorry, Mom. We can't give the addresses of our children here to just anyone" replied the headmaster, a woman in her 40s.

Maya nodded her head in understanding, she had expected an answer like this to be obtained from the headmaster. Therefore, he has prepared a surefire strategy to overcome it. He glimpsed the princess who was bowed languidly in the chair next to her.

"Hey, ma'am teacher can't give Qilla an address. Sorry, son. Kei can't see Qilla anymore" Maya says of the provocation. He's already planned this.

"Young......." Shortly after Maya finished speaking, everyone there was startled by Kei's sudden crying.

"Key... Why are you crying, baby?" Maya acted in panic, as if she was surprised by the princess's cry that echoed through the room.

"Huaaaa, Mama...." Kei's crying voice grew. Tears flowed from both of his round eyes.

"Okay, kid. Cup..." Maya lifts Kei's body and sits him on the lap. He hid the face covered with tears of the princess in his chest.

"Mama, Kei kangen and Qilla, hiks. Kei is sad that Qilla doesn't go to school here anymore, hiks." In his mother's arms, Kei sobbed.

"Prophey, baby. We can't do anything. The Headmaster's mother doesn't want to give us Qilla's address" Maya replies, as if saying the principal is guilty of not giving Aqilla's address.

The headmaster who heard his name was named as the suspect who caused Kei's cry suddenly panicked. He felt guilty because he had indirectly made his students sad and crying.

"Mama... Kei wants to meet Qilla, hiks. Kei wants to say goodbye, hiks."

"Prophey, baby. Later we ask for help papa, yes.." persuaded Maya.

"Hiks.. hyks..." Only a sound was heard.

Maya slowly got up while holding her daughter. "Then I'll excuse you, Buk.." said. Maya turned around, left.

Seeing Maya and Kei about to leave, the Headmaster immediately stood up and held him back. "Wait a minute, Mom!"

Maya smiles satisfied once she realizes that her plan worked. With a face pretending to be sad, Maya turned back to face the Headmaster. "Yes, Mom?" tanyakanya.

"Look, Mom... I will give you the address of Aqilla because I feel sorry to see Kei who just kept crying" she said in the end. He gave up because he could not bear to see his students sad.

"Really, Mom? Thank you very much." Maya said happily.

After that, the Headmaster Mother wrote down an address on a piece of paper and gave it to Maya.

"Yesdiy..." Arriving in the courtyard, Maya and Kei bertos ria. Their plan was successful and now it's just off to the address written on the paper.

.......

Maya and Kei arrive at a small rented house that is thought to be the residence of Disa and her husband and children. The two of them approached the door and Maya's hand slowly lifted to knock on the wooden door.

Tok...

A few times I knocked, the door opened. A woman in neat clothes appeared from inside. Both of his eyes were wide open to see the guests who had come.

"Good day, sorry to interrupt." said Maya.

Disa was silent, she did not expect that the wife and children of her ex-husband would come to visit her home.

"Let's!" The typical cry of a small child was heard from behind the body of Disa. Aqilla came running to welcome the arrival of her schoolmate.

"Qilla!" Kei cheered happily to see the appearance of his friend who had not met him for two days.

"Let's go in!" Qilla grabbed Kei's hand and invited him into the house. While the two adult women who were there, only watched the behavior of the two girls in silence.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Is awakened from his complacency. "Please enter!" bring later.

.......

Maya is now sitting in a simple chair in the living room of Disa's rented house. While the host, permission to go back to make a drink. Beside her seat, Maya could see a large suitcase and two small cardboard boxes ready to be transported. It seems that it is true that the family of Disa will move.

"Mama..." Kei walked out of a room followed by Aqilla behind him. The two boys approached Maya who was sitting alone.

"What's up, baby?" maya asked in surprise as soon as she found Kei hugging her body and hiding the face in her stomach.

"Qilla's really moving on, Ma. Kei so no longer have any friends," he asked in a hoarse voice.

Aqilla who was standing behind Kei could only look down miserably. Actually, he was also heavy to leave school and his friends including Kei, but he was helpless, because he had to return to his hometown, where he should be.

"Patience, dear. Later Kei can't call Qilla if Kei misses. And also, later mama will persuade papa so that we can go on vacation and visit where Qilla lives," said Maya trying to give understanding.

Kei raised his head. "Mama's not lying, is she?" He asked for certainty.

Maya shook her head and smiled. "Promise the little finger" he said, raising his hand and brandishing his little finger.

Kei's eyes sparkled. He immediately fused his little pinky to the little pinky of the mother. "promises. If you lie, your nose will be as long as Pinocchio. Hihihi..."

Maya chuckles a little, she rubs Kei's head fondly. "Before we go home, Kei can play with Qilla to the satisfaction."

"Ready!" Kei turned around and found Qilla already in front of him. "Come, Qilla... We play!"

"Come on!"

After the two little girls left, Disa came with a tray of two cups of tea and a plate of cookies. For Kei and Qilla, Disa had already given each of them a box of milk and a packet of chocolate bread.

"Please drink," said Disa.

Maya drinks her tea before starting the conversation. While in his place, Disa can already guess the purpose of the arrival of Maya.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, my arrival is sudden." Maya.

"I-yes, it's okay, really." Disa smiled awkwardly.

"Hm.. a little, Ma'am must have known what my intention and purpose is to come here," continued Maya.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I made a fuss in your house the other day." Head Disa lowered. "Is this related to that problem?"

"Hm, is there anything you want to ask, May?" disa asked as soon as she saw the doubt on her guest's face.

"Mr..." Maya stared fixedly at Disa. "Regarding the matter of that time, can Mbak tell me back to me" he asked.

I know exactly what Maya meant. The woman who had given birth to the two children, inhaled a new breath after a few seconds later, throwing it out slowly.

"So soon, there's something I want to show you." He got up and walked to the cardboard on the floor. He took it out and took something from it.

"It's..." After sitting back down, Disa pushed a photo album thick enough in front of Maya. "Open up!" her door.

Slowly, Maya opens the photo album. On the first page, there is a picture of a tiny baby sleeping. "It's..." He turned his gaze from the photo towards Disa.

"Yes, he is my son, Haikal."

Maya looks back at the photo on her lap. It turned out that the album contained all the photos of Haikal, who was none other than Fadhil's first child whose presence was never known. On the first page, a picture of the newborn Haikal, on the next page, shows the growing Haikal. Starting from the age of 1 month to five years. Maya examines the handsome face of the son of Disa, seen from the picture alone, it is clear that Haikal has the handsome face of his father, Fadhil. It was like a mini version of his father. I don't know how broken Fadhil's heart was when he found out he had a son, but he would never see him again. Maya now understood the pain her husband felt.

"May, you can take him with you." said Disa when Maya wanted to hand him back the photo album.

"I-I mean Ma'am, can I bring this photo album?" ask Maya to make sure.

Disa nodded. "Speak my apologies to Mas Fadhil. I admit I was wrong for hiding this truth from him."

"Why don't you just say it, Ma'am?" Maya feels that Disa must apologize directly to Fadhil, not even through her intermediary.

"No, May. I can't meet him now." Disa shook her head, how could she have the face to face again with a man who must now hate her so much.

"Alright, Ma'am. I'll try to talk to Mas Fadhil. I'll also show you these photos in order to treat Mas Fadhil's little longing for his son."

"Thank you, May."

.......

Maya is tidy with her sleeping pajamas, tonight she decided to just wear pajamas. The nights before, she always wore a sexy nightgown to tease her grieving husband, but to no avail. The man persisted in silence. Tonight she gave up, in addition, she will also give a gift that hopefully can treat the wound in her husband's heart. The woman glanced at the wall clock, the time was already showing at eight o'clock in the night.

"Why hasn't Mas Fadhil come home yet, huh?" maya Gumam.

Cklekk

Not long after, with the sound of the door open. Maya glances and finds her husband coming in.

"Home home, Mom?" Maya approaches and takes over her husband's briefcase.

"Hm..." Fadhil only cleared his throat in response. Usually, before that incident, Fadhil would always ask for a long kiss after coming home from work, but now, huh, Maya misses that time.

"Bring first, Mas. I'll prepare the food" Maya said.

"I've eaten," replied Fadhil then passed into the bathroom after picking up his change of clothes.

Maya breathed a rough sigh, until when would her husband behave like this. Long time annoying too.

A quarter of an hour later, Fadhil came out refreshed. The man's hair still looks wet. He has changed clothes with a thin T-shirt and knee-length shorts.

Maya is sitting leaning on the head of the bed. She watched her husband dry his hair with a towel in front of the mirror. Usually again, Fadhil will always whine spoiled asking Maya to dry her hair, now it is.

"Mas, come!" call Maya. He patted the empty side of the bed before him.

Fadhil gave a quick glance, then returned busy with his activities. While Maya can only stroke the chest, be patient. She faithfully awaits her husband to finish his activities.

Five minutes later...

"Mas.." call Maya who's getting tired of waiting.

"A little while, how chatty!" Fahdil Sahut. The man threw his towel on the sofa, only then approached his wife.

The corner of Maya's lips twitched, if Fahdil wasn't her husband, she would've kicked him.

"Just tell me what you want, I'm sleepy!" fadhil said, a little bit sniffy.

Maya sighed softly, then smiled as sweetly as possible. "Just a minute, baby..."

The woman then got up and took some things from inside the lamari.

"Here I have something for you, Mas!" Maya hands one of the items she brought before Fadhil.

Fadhil stared at the item Maya had thrust at him, a photo album. "

"Open up, Mom." Unable to retrieve it, Maya is forced to put the album on her husband's thigh.

"What's the laptop for?" fahdil asked curiously when he saw Maya turn on the laptop.

"Papo, huh?" Maya's eyes glanced mischievously.

Fadhil's face reddened, rather than serving his wife's ignorance, he preferred to open a photo album on his lap.

Deg

Fadhil's heart was pounding as soon as his eyes saw a portrait of a tiny baby who was still red, like a newborn. He was very curious about the figure of the baby, because it seemed that it was not a photo of the Linga as a child, there was no resemblance at all. I wanted to ask, but prestige. He chose to open the next page.

Fadhil's feelings were mixed, the more he turned his pages, the faster the heart beat in his chest. He seemed familiar when he saw a portrait of a five-year-old boy in the picture.

Maya glanced at the expression of her husband, she was sure that at this time the man was wondering, whose photo she was currently looking at.

"That's Haikal's photo album, Mas."

Deg

Maya's answer made Fadhil's eyes instantly heat up. "Ha-haikal...my son?" she asked, looking at Maya with tears.

Maya smiled softly. "Yes, Mas. He's your son, Haikal."

Fadhil's tears immediately soaked his cheeks. "Haikal, papa's son..." The man hugged the photo album in his hand, as if he was hugging his son's body.

"I'm sorry, son. Papa is stupid to never know if you are in this world. Papa misses, papa would love to meet and hug you. Papa would love to hear you call me papa. Why are you leaving so soon, son." Fadhil spilled all the grief that stifled his chest.

Beside her, Maya cries. She felt the sadness her husband felt. After all he was an old man, and could definitely understand it.

"Patience, Mas. Send him a do'a to keep him quiet there." Maya hugged her husband.

"May, I want to meet my son, May. Why did he leave me so soon, I never even met him. Does he know that I'm his father..." Fadhil sobbed in Maya's arms.

Maya can only stroke Fadhil's back, hoping that after this her husband can give her everything.
