A Heart Bond
Rissa's Secret

"Assalamu'alaikum Ma." Naina greeting Lita when she reaches Dean's restaurant.

"Wa'alaikumussalam Na."

Naina shakes Lita's hand. He sat in a chair opposite Lita's chair. They made a deal this morning. Lita wants to see Naina because she hasn't seen her in a long time.

"How's Ma doing?" Naina asked with her friendly smile.

"Good Na. How's Rissa doing?"

"Rissa is good Ma."

"Mama misses him."

"Rissa is still Ma's school. School's a little distracted because of the filming." Naina.

Naina chose the menu after a waiter approached her and gave her a menu book.

"Here Pa!" Lita said a little loudly. He waved his hand to call someone.

Naina was busy choosing the menu. When it was finished, a man of Lita's age had reached their table.

"Good day, Mr. Jonathan." Sapa Naina's.

"Jiang Na." Jonathan said with a smile.

The man whose age had just stepped on the head of six, still looked handsome and charming in his work suit. With his hair that began to turn white one by one, increasingly add to his charm at his age.

"Don't call sir! Call om or papa can too, like Dean." Imbuh Jonathan friendly.

"But Sir,,"

"You call Jelita mama, so what's wrong with calling me papa. I don't mind."

"Eh,,"

Naina is confused by Jonathan's request. He did call Lita with the name 'mama' because it was already quite familiar. But with Jonathan, it feels weird. Remember, this is still their second meeting.

"What a Na. It makes it better to hear. I'm like Dean." Said Lita with her beautiful smile.

"Ah that kid, just one week away, I've missed so much." Lita Mumbled.

"Want to go to Germany?" Jonathan was attentive.

"Now ah Pa. Poor Papa's here alone."

Naina just listened to the conversation of the couple. But, he was also curious, who Lita missed, until Jonathan offered her to follow him to Germany.

"We don't know Dean until when Ma's there. If Mama misses, Papa will take Mama to Germany."

Samar, Jonathan's speech penetrates Naina's sense of hearing. He looked at the couple questioningly.

"Dean?" Naina interrupted.

Naina's feeling was a little nervous when she heard Dean's name mentioned. His heart suddenly churned when he heard that name. Anger, anger, and longing to burst into his chest cavity. He tries to control his feelings.

"Why Na?" Ask Lita.

"Dean to Germany Ma?" Naina said as calmly as possible.

"Yes. Didn't he tell you?" Lita said full of questions.

Naina just shook her head. "When did he leave Ma?"

"A week ago. Wait up! The night before his departure, Dean took a break to Mama to go to your house. Didn't he come?"

Naina was silent and remembered something. "What was that night? When he asked me to smile?"

Suddenly a feeling of sadness and regret approached him. He regretted not meeting Dean's request that night.

A very simple request from a man whose attitude that night was very gentle, not as usual. The man who in the last few days managed to make it a crime. It was bad because there was no news from the man.

And now, Naina's curiosity for the past week, answered already. Curiosity that makes him sometimes urgency himself.

Lita and Jonathan looked at the dreamy Naina, then looked at each other and smiled slightly.

"You why Na?" Said Lita, while spreading Naina's daydream.

"Oh, yes Ma. Naina is not papa." Naina replied in as much a tone as possible.

"Dean came to Ma that night, but he didn't say he was going to Germany." Honest Naina.

"No Ma. Even until now, he had no news at all." Naina said with a smile that she forced to cover up her disappointment.

"Why didn't you tell me, De?" Inner Naina.

"That kid is!" Lita grumbled a little.

"So, how's your relationship with Dean Na?" Ask Jonathan.

"I mean Sir? Uh, Papa." Naina is still a little clumsy with Jonathan's new call.

"Yes, how's your relationship now? Is your relationship still going well?"

"Entah Pa's. Dean's been up for a week without any news. Maybe Dean's mad at Naina." Naina said bitterly to her heart.

"Why angry? You guys got a problem?" Ask Lita curious.

Naina just smiled in response to Lita's question.

Such great regret filled Naina's heart. Just because I didn't meet Dean's simple request that night. Until he thought, Dean was angry and did not want to contact him until now.

"Sorry De!" Inner Naina.

Lita and Jonathan choose to have another conversation to distract Naina. They realize Naina's change in expression after hearing the news that Dean is going to Germany.

Yeah, Dean went to Germany a week ago on business. He replaced his father who flew to Germany to deal with the problems and started his new project with foreign investors who wanted to meet directly with the company's owners.

Dean was actually very heavy to fly to Germany, but he could not let his father return to Germany again because his health condition was a little decreased. His old age began to affect his health.

Dean didn't ask Niko to come. Dean asks Niko to help Jonathan take care of his office in Indonesia while preparing for his wedding in two months.

Time keeps going. The sun has also slipped west. It reveals its warm rays to every living being with its million charms.

Slowly but surely, the moon and stars replaced the sun to illuminate the earth. The night that greeted, felt silent and silent for some of His people.

Tonight, as usual, Rissa was studying inside her room. Finished some of his PR today with gusto.

The little girl's attention was distracted, when a video call came into her phone. He immediately grabbed the flat object he had placed on his bed.

"Hi Om Dean!" Greet Rissa when the call has been connected.

Smile sumringah two children of different generations that adorn each other's gadget screen.

"Hi darling! Don't be so hard, Mommy will be horrified!"

"Ups! Yes Om. Sorry, Rissa forgot! Hhihi," Rissa's little laugh heard more softly after Dean's reply.

"Where is the school today?"

"Current Om. When to go home?" Ask Rissa enthusiastically.

"Why indeed? Is Rissa the same?"

Rissa just nodded. Dean smiled at Rissa's phone.

"Om still gotta work, baby! There's still something to finish here, honey."

"Rissasaia!" Naina's voice echoed in Rissa's room.

"Om, Mommy calls Rissa. Yes, yes, bye!"

The call was immediately interrupted. Coinciding with Naina who opened the door to Rissa's room. Rissa was so nervous that she almost got caught making a video call with Dean. And Naina noticed Rissa's expression.

"What are you doing, honey?" Naina asks because she sees Rissa holding her phone and is not studying.

"It's Mom, Rachel asked about PR today." Rissa answered a little nervously. Ah that little girl, could already lie apparently.

Naina realizes Rissa's strange behavior. He walked over to Rissa and sat down on Rissa's bed with his flat face.

"Why Mom?" Rissa asked trying to cover up her nervousness.

"No papa dear. We eat first! Learn it again!" Naina's speech is soft.

"OK Mom. Come Mom!" Rissa got off her bed and pulled Naina's hand out of the room.

Naina followed Rissa. "What are you hiding, dear?"

Naina curbed her curiosity about Rissa's strange behavior. He let Rissa cover it up this time and was sure to find out later. They also had dinner as usual.

"Mommy can't be suspicious!" Inner Rissa.
