BABY SECRET
Chapter 23: The Competition

“Not interfere. Take care of yourself!” resolutely Reza immediately followed Sofia into the room.

“Ma,” call Nino.

“Ya, dear,” said Sofia preparing her laptop, because soon she must leave for work.  

“When can I go home? Nino bosen,” complained the little guy. His body was still weak, but not doing any activity made him saturated.

Sofia approached her son, touching Nino's forehead with her arms turned back. “Emm, has dropped the fever. But you have to wait for the doctor's decision, honey. Patience yes. Oh yeah, Nino went straight up to 3rd grade. How did you never say the same Mama was asked to do IQ tests and class 3 questions?” he said gently staring proudly.

Reza who heard it was flabbergasted, “Wow! Papa's son is cool!” his praise peeped at Nino's forehead.

“Nino don't know, Ma. At that time, Ms. Nisa did not say, only given the questions just told to play,” said Nino with a smile. Then switch to staring at Reza, “All because of mama, Pa,”.

Reza turned to Sofia, wanting to hug the woman and say thank you. For having succeeded in educating his son extraordinarily, even alone.

“You didn't bring the violin, Sof?” tanya Reza sat on the edge of the bed, clasping Nino's hand.

“How to think anyway!” he sat down without looking at Reza.

“Sofia, this is for you. I want to take a feather. We have a meeting with platinum members ‘kan this morning?” tama suddenly appeared among them.

Sofia turned her head, exhaling a rough breath. Still upset to face Reza, coupled with Tama. Really make the mood of the morning messy, “Before, Mas. I'm waiting for Bi Sri to take care of Nino. I also want to take a shower first.”

“And there's me, Sofia. I can take care of Nino. Don't worry,” timpal Reza uncovers a smile on his thin lips.

“Iya, Mother. There's papa. Nino is okay with papa aja,” said Nino added. Two different men of that age, look so compact.

However, Sofia still does not believe in Reza. He chose to be quiet while moving to the bathroom while carrying a change of clothes.

The smile on Reza's lips instantly vanished after Sofia disappeared behind the bathroom door. He threw a sharp glare at Tama who was also staring seriously at him. Both of them were raising war flags.

“Sofia is still my wife! Never touch it!” furious Reza with a soft voice but full emphasis.

“Cih! They are also divorced. Wait for a call from the religious court! Don't be pretentious about claiming to be a husband. Where have you been all this time? Eight years is not a short time!” cibir Tama is right.

“Papa Sama Om Tama talking what the hell?” nino asked with a puzzled look on her face staring at the two adult men in turn.

Tama soon approached, he was on a different side to Reza. “Nino! Have a gift!” he said he handed me a neatly wrapped box.

“What's this? Can Nino open, Om?” Nino looked sparkling, Tama nodded her head.

Nino quickly opened the box, impatient to see the contents. Until his small mouth gaping, accompanied by his eyes wide.

“Wah, new laptop!” pekik Nino hugged the laptop with a picture of the bitten apple. “Thank you very much, Om Tama!” she laughed happily.

“Sama-sama, Darling. Let the spirit of learning grow!” he glanced at Reza with a triumphant look.

Reza held back the rumble in her chest. He admitted to losing this time. Her heart heats up when she sees Tama so close to her son, operating the new laptop.

A few minutes passed, the bathroom door opened. The fragrance from Sofia's body was combined with a soft-scented perfume, lurking in the spacious room. Their attention immediately turned to Sofia.

A long robe cover the curves of his body, also a very fitting pasmina hijab forming his beautiful face makes two men in the room pounding uncharacteristically.

Moreover, the natural makeup that adorns the face of her father, increasingly flushes out an extraordinary charm. Yes, since joining as a reseller at a skin care company, Sofia does use a series of products that she sells, as a testimony of the customer.

“Why? Something wrong?” asked Sofia watching her appearance. Afraid that something might open up to make the two grown men not blink to see it.

“Nothing, you are so beautiful. As always,” praise Tama drawing awareness quickly.

While Reza swallowed his saliva, he turned his eyes to Nino while trying to neutralize his heartbeat. In addition to love that is growing up, he also felt pain when hearing compliments from other men. The thing he never did when they were still one roof, shook his heart of deep regret.

Sofia rolled her eyeballs, perhaps for another woman to hear such praise made her proud, not with Sofia. The wounds he had received, had already sealed the hearts and ears of all kinds of praise. Even his lips were throbbing, when there was a man who said so. Because they assume, they only judge from the physical.

Being professional and working earnestly, is the goal right now. Not expecting a compliment.

“Bi, Nino title Yes. I'll probably be home by afternoon. Please if there is anything, just call,” Sofia told Bi Sri who had arrived a few minutes ago.

“Good, Mom. Be careful,” said Bi Sri nodded.

“Honey, later eat, take medicine regularly let cepet out of here,” Sofia message tidying up Nino's hair.

“Ready, Ma! Mama be careful yes,” said the boy.

Reza was about to say a word, but Sofia had already turned around after saying her greeting, the woman waltzed away, as if not seeing her existence. He took a deep breath to break his patience.

...\=\=\=\=ooo\=\=\=\=...

Sofia was confused when she saw that her work was done. He remembered very well, if last night still had not completed the monthly report, and presentation for the platinum members.

“No way Nino ‘right? She's not still sick?” sofia's mumbling was confused. He leaned back while researching again. Nothing awkward or wrong.

Yes, Nino does often help him when recording monthly reports. But that is when he is healthy. His position last night was also quite far from Nino's bed.

“What do-not Mas Reza?” she wondered, but soon moved, for the meeting was about to begin.

...\=\=\=\=\=oo\=\=\=\=\=...

Three days later ....

Reza only returned to Jakarta, after Nino recovered and was allowed to return home. For three days, he guarded Nino without leaving her for a second. No matter the attitude of Sofia who always ketus and try to expel him.

Reza pegged in the courtyard of the house, flashes of the past as if flying in his mind. He had already taken all his valuables, as the house was waiting for its new owner. Yeah, Reza sold it. He wanted to dispel bad memories for his wife, as well as harboring his haughty attitude in the past.

“Reza, what did you tell my mom to come here?” ask Yani when she just got there.

“This letter to take DNA test.” Reza handed a letter to Yani.

Yani smiled broadly, as she was about to grab it, Reza actually pulled the paper to make her frown.

“Mama must promise one thing! Whatever the result will be, never stray Sofia or Nino again!” resolute Reza.

“Loh can not do dong, if you wish ...”

“Stop, Ma! What is your plan this time? It's been enough all this time Mama cornered and blamed Sofia!” reza's jolt was full of anger, cutting off his mother's words.
