BABY SECRET
Chapter 24: The Weight Decision

“Eh, because of that woman you yelled at Mama! The woman who gave birth to you!” yani did not accept.

Reza didn't want to take the oath, putting an envelope in her mother's hands was quite rude. His gaze still looks dirty. “As for Mama to do what. But if Mama hurts Sofia again, don't expect me to be quiet, Ma!” The man's voice sounded threatening.

After saying so, Reza sauntered towards his car, followed by a pick up car behind him.

“Reza! The reza! Where are you going?!” yani shouted who was ignored by the man.

...\=\=\=\=oooo\=\=\=\=...

Recovering from his illness, Nino began to move back as usual. Long school holidays, he filled with a lot of violin exercises. Given, he was very excited to receive the offer of a production house that would sign him.

Sofia still limited the practice time. One week of silence at home, really makes Nino bored. He often daydreamed, because his papa no longer visited him. He felt annoyed because when together, forgot to ask the man's mobile number so much to enjoy their time together. Asking my mother did not dare.

This morning, Nino was ready with a shirt and trousers. Her hair is neat, of course beautify her appearance.

“Ma, leave with Mama ‘kan?” tanya Nino broke through her mother's open room.

Nino seemed fixated, when she found her mother busy wiping tears while holding a letter in hand, but was hurriedly removed when she heard Nino's steps approaching.

“Mama why?” tanya Nino stood in front of her mother.

Sofia bit her lower lip, her bead moved here and there to convey her heartbreak. The woman took a deep breath, grabbed both of Nino's small hands and kissed her alternately. Then raised his gaze until he collided with his son's sad netra.

“Nino, can Mama ask you something?” sofia's permission without taking off her hand.

“If papa and mama can not unite again, can?” tanya Sofia made Nino choked.

“Quietly, Nino can still meet papa. If Nino wants to stay the same papa can also. But we can't stay together.” Slowly, but enough to stab Nino in the heart.

The happiness that he had felt, in fact, had to melt back. Nino's eyes reddened, repeatedly swallowing her saliva which felt heavy. His heart was quite torn. “Why, Ma?” tanya Nino is brief. 

“There are a lot of things you can't say, but Nino has to promise Mama.” Sofia tidied up Nino's hair that was already very neat actually. Touching the boy's shoulders, then continuing his words, “Whatever Nino will know about papa someday, never hate him huh. Seeing him when caring for Nino yesterday, Mama sure, papa really loves Nino.”

“What papa ever hurt mama?” search for Nino with a serious look.

A repeated knock on the door leaf, unraveling the tension in the room. Sofia turned her head, looking Bi Sri standing while nodding at the doorway. “Sorry, Mom. Mr. Tama is already waiting below,” he said politely.

“Iya, Bi. Thank you, said Sofia immediately moved. Grab her bag and put the long envelope in her bag.

There was no answer, they immediately set off in a different car. Tama and Nino head to a music label company while Sofia, heads to a religious court. Today was her first divorce hearing.

Sofia drives alone, if to be honest, her heart throbbing pain imagining what will happen later. Divorce, a tough decision that he dared to take after going through various considerations.

Reza had no news at all since Nino's return from the hospital. He himself did not want to find out where the man was. Even though Nino asked about it occasionally.

After thirty minutes of driving, Sofia's car stopped at a religious court. His arrival was welcomed by a lawyer.

“Good morning, Mom. The defendant does not appear to be present, even his lawyer has not been seen,” Sofia's lawyer reported.

Sofia was silent for a moment, she nodded then immediately sauntered into the courtroom. He sat down uneasily, his two cold hands squeezing each other. His heart was running from earlier.

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

“Nino, what's up? Your mom doesn't agree?” tama asked when she saw Nino glum from earlier.

Even the boy was completely unfocused on anything that the director of the company had said. His gaze from earlier seemed empty.

“No, Om. My mother supports me. Then what should I do?” Nino retracted her consciousness.

Tama again explained the contents of the contract letter that they will live for the next two years. The man patiently recited every point of Nino's rights and obligations as long as they were under contract. Not only is he a person, but also involves a famous soloist who will collaborate with him. 

“Nino is calm. All provided by the company. Nino just receive a clean slate later rehearsal, recording and album launch with Kak Raina!” exclaim Tama after you finish explaining the whole contents.

Nino nodded in understanding, there was no spirit at all. By being represented by Tama, all cooperation documents were signed by him. He felt responsible for the boy.

“Halo, Nino. You can really work with you! You're cool!” praise Raina, the up-and-coming singer right now.

“Thank you, Brother. Hopefully all smoothly,” said Nino returned the handshake of the teenage girl.

The day has begun to go by noon, they are still the stage of introduction and adjustment. So it doesn't take long.

“Om, Where's Mama going? Can I have Nino to meet Mama?” ask Nino when they're on their way home.
