A Heart Bond
New Life

The morning sun greets some of the inhabitants of the earth with its warmth. His radiance, full of goodness, pours beautifully through the gap of the cold remnants of the night. Slowly but surely, it replaces the coolness of the morning with its warmth other than others.

"Okay, honey, let's go! Mommy doesn't want you to be late on your first day in the new class." Said a beautiful woman who had just returned from her vacation in America to celebrate her success bearing her MBA from one of the best campuses in the capital.

"Okay Mom!" Sahut the princess who is now starting to grow into a little girl who is more beautiful and clever in many ways.

Yes, Naina is living her life with Rissa very well. After the abduction, he and Rissa embarked on a new life with a more airy heart and full of timeless despair.

Naina finally decided to continue her education. He took his post-graduate studies at a campus in the capital that has the best post-graduate faculty in business and finance.

Naina is still managing her business which is now growing rapidly. Assisted by two of his trusted assistants, he has managed his business while taking care of his studies for the past two years.

Naina now has two assistants. Sinta and Riska. Riska worked for Naina two years ago. Exactly one month after Naina was discharged from the hospital after the abduction.

Naina asks Sinta to find a new assistant to help with her work before she is declared pregnant by a doctor. Because Naina does not want to make Sinta tired if later Sinta is pregnant with her child. So he anticipated it a long time ago.

Naina lives her life with a new spirit every day. She returned to being a single parent who was always there for her beloved daughter.

In the midst of his busy work and his S2 studies, Naina always took the time to invite Rissa to visit two of her tantas in Lombok. Visiting the center of his grandparents in Jogja. And of course, visiting Oma Sekar and Opa Wiliam in America.

Naina became more and more mature in her attitude and thoughts over time. He was able to understand everything that happened in his life more wisely. Although sometimes he is still very spoiled if he is with Sekar and Wiliam.

Yes, there is one more person who loves Naina like her own daughter. William. He can accept Naina's presence in his household life with Sekar. So were William's two sons and daughters. They also warmly welcomed the presence of Naina in her family. Naina has even called Wiliam daddy now.

As usual, Naina leaves for her office after driving Rissa to school. Naina's office has now moved. He had rented a five-story building as his office.

Because indeed, Naina's old office, which is an apartment, can no longer accommodate its employees who are increasing in number today. Given, some areas of business that he has been in so far and plus interior design services pursued by Rissa are growing rapidly. So, inevitably, Naina is looking for a new office for all the businesses she has managed so far.

"Sorry Mom', there's an invitation for Mom." Sinta said as she handed over an invitation that had just arrived at Naina's office.

"What invitation?" Naina asked as she reached out her hand to receive the flat box objects with luxurious designs that she received more and more.

"The wedding invitation of Mr. Adrian Mahadirga's daughter. One of your property business associates." Obviously Sinta.

Naina threw her back on the back of her work chair. He even let out a faint breath as he usually did.

Wh why?

Because Naina is very reluctant to meet her colleagues in events outside of work. Naina will definitely be questioned about her high status by some of her colleagues who have been eyeing her personally. Naina was pretty upset about it.

If Naina meets her colleagues on the job, she can reason with work professionalism that makes her avoid various questions and flirting with colleagues who want to question her.

However, if outside of work, he does not have much reason to avoid the questions and seduction of some men who are quite well established and handsome who are ready to propose Naina.

"Do I need to accompany Mom'?" Ask Sinta who understands Naina's expression.

Naina was silent for a moment while starting to open the invitation that was already in her hands.

"No need Sin! You have an event not to coincide with the date of this invitation?" Answer Naina listlessly.

"It's okay Mom, I can cancel it. Or do you want Riska's company?" Sinta.

"Don't cancel your show! I'll go alone tomorrow. Riska's going home this weekend, isn't she?" Naina replied.

"Are you sure?"

"Come Sin! But I can't ignore this invitation. Remembering, Mr. Mahadirga was one of our business partners for a long time. He also became one of the people who helped Rissa's interior design business grow rapidly." Naina.

"You're right, ma'am'." Answer Sinta understands.

"Alright, return! I'll think about this later!" Pinta Naina is friendly.

"Good ma'am'!"

Sinta returns to her study with Riska. Right next to Naina's workspace.

Naina had indeed very often received such an invitation before. He would definitely invite one of his assistants to help him distract some of the people who began to approach him while he attended the event.

But this time Naina couldn't get along. He could not ruin the events of his assistants just for his personal business alone. So he chose to attend the invitation alone, with all the possible risks.

...****************...

The sunlight began to dim in the capital. The dusk skyline adorned the clear sky of the capital this evening. Giving a glimmer of hope, in every sense that is always awake, even though so many things have been passed over as time goes by.

The night started rolling. After I saw Adzan isya' and Naina carrying out her duties as a Muslim, she prepared to attend the invitation she received earlier this week. He really attended it alone.

"Mommy go for a minute, baby! You're at home with Madam Atun huh!" Pamit Naina after she sits on the sofa, side by side with Rissa.

"OK Mom. Mommy be careful! I have bad feelings." Rissa replied a little worriedly.

"In shaa Allah dear, Mommy will be more careful later." Naina replied, calming Rissa down.

Naina hugged and kissed Rissa's cheek which was no longer sob. The little girl Naina grew up to be very beautiful with her slender body.

Naina immediately picked up her coat and bag that she had just placed near her seat. He waved his hand at Rissa and said his greetings before leaving the house.

Naina drove her car quite casually. He clearly remembered Rissa's message. Until, after almost forty-five minutes of driving, Naina arrived at the venue. A house with a unique design, which is indeed rented for party events like this.

Naina put on her coat after getting out of the car. He let out a short sigh to convince his heart to enter the venue. Because indeed, during the journey earlier, there was a strange turmoil in his heart that made him a little anxious.

The parking location began to be full, making Naina park her car quite far from the entrance of the event. He walked casually while neutralizing his feelings and preparing to face whatever might happen later.

Naina leaves her coat on the filling of the guest list. He then entered the event room and stopped for a moment and saw the atmosphere of the event room. And it turns out, the atmosphere is so crowded. Many of his colleagues were also present at the event.

"I better hurry up. So that not many will greet me later." Inner Naina was sure.

Naina began to move her legs towards the pelaminan stage. Accompanied by the melodious voice of the singer who enlivened the atmosphere, Naina began to meet the owner of hajat who was standing side by side with his wife accompanying the two brides.

Naina slightly mince words with the person who invited her. He congratulated the two brides afterwards.

And when he got off the stage, there was a husband and wife who greeted him.

"Hello Honey!" A greeting to the wife who was already very familiar with Naina.

"Mama! Papa!" Naina is happy.

The couple smiled happily at Naina. They're Jonathan and Jelita. Jelita immediately grabbed Naina's body and hugged her tightly. Naina returned happily. Not to forget, he kissed Jonathan's hand with respect.

"Mama and Papa how are you? And when are you guys arriving?" Naina asked after she let go of her embrace.

"We're good. Two days ago we arrived in Jakarta. How's it going? And are you here alone?" Answer Jelita kindly.

"Naina is also good Ma. Yes Ma, Naina herself. Naina's assistants have their respective events tonight." Honest Naina.

"Rissa?"

"Rissa at Ma's house. Mama knows for herself, she doesn't like shows like this." Naina.

Jelita and Jonathan smiled with relief. They chatted for a while while enjoying the show.

Jelita and Jonathan re-establish a good relationship with Naina. Jelita's heart could not deny her affection for Naina. Although there was still a wedge in his heart about Naina's past, but he could put it aside.

"Oh yes Na, someone wanted to meet you earlier." Jelita said suddenly interrupted by her chatter.

"Ouch! Who else would you like to know me?" Inner Naina panicked.

Because indeed, Jelita has several times introduced Naina to men who might make Naina let go of her bachelor. It was one of Jelita's forms of affection for Naina.

Jelita immediately looked around to find someone. Naina was getting more panicked and anxious. He really does not want to be introduced to single men who can actually be a suitable life companion for Naina.

Because actually, in Naina's heart is still engraved in a name that for the last two years he has not been able to remove from his heart. Even though he no longer knows how he is and how he is until now.

Naina also turned around to try to appreciate Jelita's good intentions. Naina knows, Jelita just wants her to be happy. Being a whole woman. A son, wife and mother.

"Where was he Pa?" Jelita asked a little annoyed at not finding the person she meant.

"Entah Ma's. Papa didn't see it either." Honestly, Jonathan is also looking for people who want to meet with Naina.

"No need to see Ma, Pa. Hhih." Inner Naina was a little relieved.

"For a moment Na! You wait here for a minute! Mama and Papa will look for her." Pinta Jelita is sincere.

"Emmhh, Naina wait on the porch next to Ma. Naina is lazy to serve some people here." Honestly Naina while pointing towards the side door that was a little away from her place.

"Okay, darling." Jelita replied as she gently rubbed Naina's cheeks while smiling warmly.

Jonathan and Jelita immediately turned around and looked for the person they meant. Naina immediately walked towards the door she had pointed at. He smiled kindly at some colleagues who greeted him kindly.

Naina inhaled a deep breath after she reached the side porch. A small terrace overlooking the garden next to the house is beautifully arranged with a variety of ornamental plants are maintained. Accompanied by the moonlight that shone brightly tonight, making the atmosphere beside the event room more pleasant for Naina.

"Why do you want to know me who else tried? There were only his acquaintances whom he knew." Naina's mind is a little upset.

Naina's place is now, a little away from the hustle and bustle of the show. After a while of enjoying the atmosphere, Naina could clearly hear a footsteps approaching towards her. He also began to prepare several ways that might be used as an excuse to reject seduction or avoid questions from the person, as usual.

"Good evening Mrs. Nandni."
