A Heart Bond
The arrival of Sinta

The moon and stars began to reign. Being a lamp, when the sun carries out its duties for the other hemisphere. Illuminate the darkness of the night that always greets His creatures.

Naina recalled Delvin's question before she got out of her car. A question that sounded quite serious in his ears. The expression on Delvin's face was not joking.

"What does Delvin mean by asking that?" Naina muttered when she had laid her body beside Rissa's body.

Naina started to struggle with her thoughts. Trying to figure out what Delvin meant by his attitude today. Naina glanced for a moment at Rissa who had fallen asleep after returning from dinner with Delvin earlier.

"Is he trying to get close to me and Rissa? Then do I have to tell her the truth, that Rissa is her daughter? Will he believe it?" Inner Naina.

The body that also felt tired, made Naina fall asleep following her little girl. He quickly fell asleep infiltrating Rissa, while hugging her warmly.

Morning's approaching. Today, Lea and Hera will return to Lombok. Ben's business in Jakarta is done. So, he must immediately return to Lombok to take care of his work again.

Naina escorts Lea and Hera to the airport after driving Rissa to school. Naina's heart seemed unwilling to release the return of her two brothers back with her family.

"If there's any story huh Na! Don't be held alone!" Lea's advice before she gets on the plane.

Naina just nodded with a smile.

"Otherly about Dean. We support all your decisions Na. Remember, you must be happy! Okay?" Imbuh Lea who immediately embraced Naina's body.

"Mak Lea and Hera should be happy too, yes!" Naina's heartfelt words.

Lea and Hera nodded at the same time. They leave Naina alone at the airport. Naina also left the airport to return to her routine, working. He had an appointment with his business partner today. It was a busy day for Naina.

That night, Naina and Rissa had just finished dinner. When the bell at his house rang.

"Let me Ma'am! Ma'am Atun just finish the dining table. That must be Sinta, she told you she was coming here." Naina said as she stood up from her chair.

Naina opened the door of her house. And true, Sinta stood firmly in front of the door of the house alone.

"Come Sin!" Pinta Naina is sincere.

"Yes ma'am, thank you." Sinta enters the house and follows Naina inside.

"Hi Auntie!" Sapa Rissa's.

"Hi's Beautiful! You're not learning?" Sahut Sinta percia.

"It's about to learn more Auntie, dinner out."

"Have you had dinner, Sin?" Naina asked stopped her steps.

"Oh, it's already ma'am'." Honest Sinta.

Naina smiled at him.

"Rissa studied in the room! Mommy wants to talk to Aunt Sinta on the back porch." Naina Pinta.

"Okay Mom."

Rissa went to her room immediately. He also returned struggling with his homework that is quite a lot tonight.

Naina asks Atun to rest after serving drinks and snacks for Sinta. Because Atun's job is done today.

"Why Sin? No problem with the office?" Naina asked after Atun went into her room.

"No Ma'am'. Sayaa, "Sinta is not happy to express the heart of her arrival tonight.

"Do you want a marriage leave?" Terka Naina while looking straight at the back garden.

"Eh," Sinta was surprised because Naina already knew the intent of her arrival.

"Yes Sin. Of course I'll give it to you. How many days do you want permission?" Naina asked sincerely.

"Three days, ma'am, that's enough." Sinta replied unkindly.

"What's? Three days? You kidding Sin? You want to get married, not just on vacation."

"But Ma'am, that's enough. After all, the office has been very busy lately. I'll be exhausted if I handle it myself."

"Are you planning on remarrying after you marry Niko?" Naina Temptation.

"I mean Mom?"

"You want to be a bride, cooking is only two days off. Don't you want a honeymoon with Niko? Don't want to enjoy the good times of the newlyweds with your husband?" Naina Cibir.

"Our experience is Na!" Sindir Naina to herself in heart.

"Yes would like to ma'am' if it was, hhehe." Answer Sinta shyly.

"So, why only ask for three days off?"

"Pity you'll take care of the office alone."

"You don't have to think about that. You just have to think about your wedding. Office business, let me handle it."

"But Ma'am',,"

"Anyway, I'll give you two weeks off. Counting after your wedding day. And three days before you get married, you can already go home to take care of your wedding at home."

"That was a long time ago ma'am'?"

"Neither Sin. And, no more bargaining." Naina Strictly.

Sinta, who has already memorized Naina's nature, finally complies with Naina's request. She received her wedding leave which she felt was too long. But she is also grateful, Naina is very understanding and caring to him.

"Be a good wife to Niko Sin! I hope your life is happy after the wedding!" Naina's sincere.

"Thank you, ma'am'."

"Ah, will I also be able to feel it Oh Allah? It was a wonderful time with my husband, the person I love and also love me for who I am. And can also accept Rissa completely." Inner Naina.

"Oh yes Sin! Tomorrow, if Niko forbids you from working for any reason, tell me the truth! Don't you hide it!" Naina said trying to divert her heart.

"We've already discussed it, ma'am'. Mas Niko still allows me to work after marriage." Honest Sinta.

"okay." Naina's heart is relieved.

"Mom'," Call Sinta hesitating.

"Yes," Naina turned to Sinta casually.

"Didn't you want to get married again? Mr. Dean seems to have serious intentions on Mom." Ask Sinta slowly. He was afraid that he would offend Naina.

Naina was silent. He looked straight back at the garden behind his house. His heart was struggling again because of Sinta's question.

"Sorry Mom', if my question is presumptuous." Sinta said in a bad way.

Naina stood up and stepped towards the edge of the terrace. Her net still faithfully looked forward without looking at Sinta. Sinta who felt bad, stood up and approached Naina.

"I ask," Sinta said quickly, but was cut by Naina.

"I can't marry Sin! Especially with Dean, it's impossible." Naina said bitterly.

"Why Ma'am'?"

"Because of Rissa."

"Rissas? What's with her, ma'am'? Can't Dean sir take Rissa?"

"There's one thing you don't know Sin. And that, only known by Mbak Lea, Mbak Hera, Mas Ben, and Ibu Sekar." Sela Naina's.

Sinta who had looked down was not happy, trying to look at her superior face carefully. Trying to read his face from his left side.

"The secret that even Rissa doesn't know about is that." Imbuh Naina looked back, to see if her little daughter was not far from her.

Without Naina and Sinta knowing, Rissa was already asleep in her room due to fatigue doing a lot of homework today. In fact, he had not finished all his homework.

"Yeah???"

"I've never married Sin. I'm not a widow." Honest Naina while looking gently at Sinta's face.

"But Rissa, and Mom's self data?"

"I manipulated. I asked someone to forge my data four years ago." Naina looked straight back at the park behind her.

"Rissa?"

"She's my daughter. My real daughter." Naina took a deep breath. Trying to take the power from nature to tell that honesty to Sinta.

"Six years ago, I sold my virginity to a cassanova for money, for my grandmother's kidney surgery that took care of me after both my parents died. And I'm pregnant because of that."

Sinta clenched her hands together. He was surprised to hear Naina's words, which he never thought of at all. A reality he never really imagined.

Naina told Sinta her story six years ago. How he should understand life in the midst of insults from his environment. To accept the fact that she is pregnant with a child from a man she does not know her identity.

Without feeling it, the tears flowed gently on Naina's cheeks. Given his dark past, he can always make him shed tears. Given how hard it is to fight spicy mouths with boneless tongues. Really, it made his heart always feel sad, even though he managed to get through it.

"So, who's Rissa Bu's father'?" Ask Sinta as smooth as possible.

"After a month of searching, Romo got a name. Yes, you know him." Naina's as usual.

"Who's Ma'am'?"

"Delvin. Delvin Dewangga's. He's Rissa's father."

"Delvin's? Opponent of the recently released Rissa movie?"

"Yes. That's what Romo said, before he was finally killed by an unidentified person until now." Naina's tone began to get normal again.

"Then, did Delvin know that?"

"Not yet, I haven't said it. Something stuck in my heart, making me think so many times about saying it."

"What is Ma'am'?"

"Come Sin. Something is not right. Rissa doesn't seem to have any ties to her even though I've been trying to get Rissa closer to Delvin."

"Can't Mr Dean accept that?"

"Do you not know Sin? Dean and Mama Lita have their own grudges against Delvin."

"I mean Mom?"

"They didn't like Delvin, because Delvin was the cause of Rhea's death, Dean's sister."

Sinta frowned. He never knew about it. Niko also never told about the figure of Dean's sister, although Niko also knew him when Rhea was alive.

Sinta began to understand the direction of the intention of Naina's words earlier. Why Naina said she couldn't marry, especially Dean.

"So I'm begging you, don't try to bring me closer to Dean again!" Pinta Naina is sincere.

"Sorry Mom'." Sinta said with regret.

"I tried so hard not to fall for him Sin, so that I wouldn't have to get hurt more tomorrow."

"Yes ma'am, I understand. Forgive my attitude all along!"

"What's wrong Sin. I know, you're good to me."

Naina turned to the bowed Sinta. Sinta was really sorry for her attitude towards Naina lately. Especially if he remembers, how he kept Dean's departure from Germany a while ago and always tried to corner Dean with Naina.

"And one more. Please don't tell anyone this, not even Niko!" Pinta Naina is sincere.

"Sure Ma'am'. I'll keep it a secret!" Answer Sinta with confidence.

Sinta finally hugged Naina's body just like that. Naina flinched in surprise. He did not expect, if Sinta would embrace him very tightly. He could feel, a very warm embrace from Sinta. Naina finally returned the embrace of the woman who was always there for her.

Sinta slightly sobbed in Naina's arms. Her heart felt so guilty towards Naina that it could not stem her tears.

The two women, finally, returned to chatting a lot after a hug session with a few tearfuls. Although they often met, but rarely did they chat casually like this time. Spending time together as a normal woman. Not as a superior and a subordinate.

Naina felt a little relieved, she could tell that to Sinta. She felt a little guilty for lying to him all this time about his status.

Candour. Something that can be very expensive. Although sometimes the terrace is difficult, but it will be a great relief if we can do it.
