A Heart Bond

A Heart Bond
My daughter


"Good morning ma'am'!" Sapa Sinta's.


"Oh yeah, morning Sin." Answer Naina flat.


Naina had just arrived at one of her apartments which she made a small office for her. He will be there every day to receive reports directly from his trusted employees, including Sinta.


Naina started the morning meeting as usual. It may look soft and friendly from the outside, but it can be creepy when it's behind his desk. Strict and hard attitudes were dominant when he transformed into Naina, the small businesswoman.


Naina's phone rang as she finished her morning meeting. The name of Rissa's homeroom teacher was clearly on her phone screen. He immediately answered the call.


"... ..."


"Yes Mr. Ronald. What's up, huh?"


"... ..."


"Okay sir, I'm there now!"


"... ..."


"Thank you sir."


Clamps. The call was cut off. Naina immediately tidied up the contents of her bag. He immediately walked out of the room.


"Love, I'm going to Rissa's school first! Please book a place as usual in the cafe!" Naina said as she walked past the assistant who was checking several property offers.


"Oh, good Mom'! Is there a problem with Rissa?" Ask Sinta for attention.


"I don't know either." Naina immediately leaves her apartment and goes to Rissa's school.


It took thirty minutes to get to Rissa's school. Naina's feelings are a little uneasy, because not usually the homeroom teacher asked her to come suddenly.


"Sorry sir, I can't allow Rissa to attend the show." Naina's words were full of emphasis when she was already dealing with Rissa's homeroom teacher.


"But Ma'am, this is even the film's own producer who chose Rissa. He likes the character of Rissa." Obviously The homeroom class.


"I don't care! Rissa's my son, and I won't allow her to be a public figure. Especially at the age that is not even six years." Reject Naina back.


"But it seems, Rissa wants it so much, Miss Naina."


"I'll talk to him myself later!" Naina's growls.


"Why does the universe seem to support Rissa becoming a public figure, O God?" Inner Naina. He tried to temper his slightly exploding anger because of the thing he had just heard.


A film producer searches for the child's main character for a film to be produced soon. He goes to Rissa's school to find the child himself. He was interested in Rissa.


And what makes Naina more angry is the main actor of the film. The person he had been avoiding even though he did not know where he was. The one who had made his life dark a few years ago. Delvin Dewangga, that's Naina's assumption.


"Why should Rissa be among the hundreds of students in this school?"


Naina leaves school with a heart that still holds back anger. With his beloved car, he drove down the streets of the capital with a slightly irritated heart. Trying to find the meaning of destiny that is addressing him.


Zee Cafe at two in the afternoon. Naina enjoys her time again with a cup of caffe latte and a slice of her favorite red velvet cake.


"Destiny. Why not side with me when it comes to feelings? Mommy doesn't want to lose you, son!" Naina muttered after enjoying the first shred of caffe lattenya.


Empty look. Staring at the crowded streets with motorized vehicles that race against each other.


The Flashback


"Na, I'll go first!" Pamit Sekar that night.


"Where are you going?" Naina asked curiously.


"Mother's got business, a few days. You take good care of Zia! Ask Hera for help with Lea if you're in trouble!" Gentle Scatter Message.


Naina nodded without suspicion or strange thoughts. He cheered on her before leaving. Just being ordinary, there was nothing suspicious about him that night.


That night, exactly four months after Rissa's birth, Sekar left the house on the grounds there was business out of town a few days. No one suspected Sekar's departure.


Until a week after that, Sekar has not returned home. And suddenly his cell phone number could not be reached.


"Sir, why is there no news?" Naina complains when she arrives at Hera and Lea's shop. Naina just got back from college.


"I don't know Na either. I've also asked some old friends, but no one knows." Hera answered sadly.


"We're calling the police?" Naina proposes after holding a little Rissa who woke up from her sleep.


"Yes Ra, let's go to the police! Mbak Sekar yesterday part was not so clear and only a few days he said. And now it's been two weeks. Plus can't be contacted either." Lea Imbuh.


"Yaudah, let's go to the police!" Sahut Hera sure.


"Naina is guarding aja Ma'am shop, same look after Rissa!" Naina's Proposal.


"Jude, we go first! You be careful in the stalls! If there's anything direct phone!" Order Hera before she leaves the stall.


Naina nodded in understanding. Hera and Lea immediately left the food stall. They reported Sekar's disappearance to the police.


Indeed Sekar is not a child and is still sane, but lost without news and a clear goal makes three women different ages several years were worried. Moreover, they remember very well, if the departure of Sekar so sudden and unclear purpose. They were afraid something might happen to Sekar.


One week, one week,


One month, one month,


Naina completed her S1 one year later. And still no news from Sekar.


After her studies, Naina wants to travel to the capital with her daughter. He didn't want to trouble Hera and Lea for too long. They've been helping Naina a lot all along. Naina wants to live independently, armed with money from the sale of her house and her payment on that dark night.


"Come here often Na! I'm definitely gonna miss Zia." Said Lea when Naina said goodbye.


"Mbak Lea and Mbak Hera are married. Let's have little Zia later, too." Naina's chirps tried to cheer up.


"Where does Na want to be with ex-prostitution*r?" Sahut Hera with a flat face.


"Our fools no one knows. After all, it's the past. Now you're a food stall entrepreneur." Entertain Naina again.


"You're going to marry Na first." Lea Imbuh.


"No Ma'am! Naina is not getting married!" Naina Strictly.


"Why?"


"Naina doesn't want to. Naina just wants to live happily with Rissa alone, that's enough for Naina."


"If Rissa asks her father how? Or did you meet Rissa's father how?" Shoot Hera.


"Later Naina explained to Rissa slowly. If it was fate to bring Naina together with him, Naina would probably say Rissa was her son, but would not marry him for whatever reason. Rissa's my daughter."


Hera and Lea smiled in relief. They are now convinced, Naina already loves Rissa completely. Although he never wanted Rissa, but over time, God grew that affection in Naina's heart. And now that affection has deep roots in him. Until, he did not want to share Rissa with others, including his father.


"If there's any news about mom, tell Naina ya Ma'am!"


"Yes Na, definitely." Sahut Lea hugged Naina.


"You take care of yourself there!" Hera messages as she alternately hugs Naina and Rissa.


"Naina go first Ma'am! Thank you for helping Naina all this time. Mbak Lea and Mbak Hera are fine! Don't forget to tell Naina whatever it is!"


Lea and Hera nodded together. The three women's cries broke out to accompany Naina's departure to the capital. The hand was not forgotten created by the women. Even the travel car that took Naina away disappeared from the sight of Hera and Lea.


Flashback Off


"Mother' where is it now? You're okay, right?" Naina's mumbling. Without feeling the tears fell down Naina's cheeks.


A hand suddenly wiped the tears that drenched Naina's cheeks.


"Astaghfiullah!" Naina was surprised not to play. His hands shook fast.


"Alhamdulillah, he's a Muslim."


"Why cry?" Ask the person sitting in front of Naina who was bravely wiping the tears on Naina's cheeks. He smiled slightly trying to be friendly to Naina.


Who else if not Dean. Dean had been in front of Naina for a while. Naina is too focused on remembering her past while looking out of the cafe, until she is unaware of Dean's presence.


Dean didn't waste the opportunity either. He sits sweetly before Naina without disturbing her daydreams. Dean really admired Naina from such a close distance. He and Naina were just a little round table away. Dean stared without blinking much at the face of the ayu before him.


Until finally, Naina muttered softly and her tears just flowed.


"You why cry? Your mother why?" Dean asked softly. He heard Naina muttering.


"What are you doing here?" Jerky Naina. Her silent mode suddenly disappeared from seeing Dean in front of her.


"Conscious of you from earlier. You daydreamed too deeply, until you didn't realize I was coming. Wagging what? You miss your mom?" Dean said attentively.


"It's none of your business!" Naina grunted in annoyance. He immediately took his bag and cell phone, and walked away from Dean.


"Wait Miss!" Shouted Dean as he ran after Naina.


"Hhiiisshh!" Naina grumbled when she heard Dean's call.


"Is there still an empty table above?" Naina asked the cashier at her cafe.


"Still Brother. You can go straight up!" The cashier replied it was friendly.


"Wait!" Dean intercepts Naina as she turns around to head for the stairs.


"I have no business with you. So please get out of my sight!" Naina's irritated mode is still active.


Some cafe goers began to notice the drama in front of the cashier's desk. Naina realized that and grew furious over it.


"Aahh, shit!" Naina's mind is upset.


Naina turned her body towards the cashier. He took his wallet and took out a piece of blue money with four zeros at its nominal.


"Save the change!" Naina said a little softly to the cashier.


Naina immediately breezed away leaving Dean and the visitors who were staring strangely at her. Dean shook his head looking at Naina's behavior which always rejected her presence.


"Why is he like that? Does she have a boyfriend or is she married? God, why did I just think about it? Aahh, shit! I lost the start until he got married." Dean muttered as he walked away from the cafe.


While in a fast-paced car, Naina grumbles alone.


"Aarrgghh, shit!" Naina hit the circular object in front of her.


"Why didn't I realize he was in front of me?" Naina is upset not playing because of her own stupidity.
