BABY SECRET
Chapter 5: Unwanted Meeting

A pair of Reza beads did not blink, watching how beautiful Sofia who was even now smiling while answering various questions that were thrown from the host.

“So's sister, you were named the most inspiring woman in this seminar. Can you please tell me how your career journey is extraordinary even though a single parent,” said Raina kindly thrust a microphone right on Sofia.

For a moment, Sofia let out a heavy sigh. Because he must open a flash of the past that is quite heartfelt. Then raised his gaze, reviewed a wide smile and started to make a sound.

“Many people often say, women do not need higher education. Because the edges are only in the kitchen and become a housewife. That's the wrong perception. Precisely women should have higher education, because later, she will become the printer of the next generation of the nation.”

Smile still reflected from his lips, “Thank you I said to Widya, my best friend and boss who entrusted my dedication in the company. It was not easy to reach this point, many obstacles and efforts that I passed. Sweat, tears and prayer always accompany my days. And also, my son who was still in the womb, helped strengthen me.”

Sofia continued her story, her career journey that began only as a reseller of cosmetic products, never giving up promoting here and there, struggling with all social media that turned into a business. Until every year managed to get the most sales rewards. Until the end, Sofia held a position as a manager in the central company.

Sofia hopes that her story can motivate the single parents out there so as not to fall and keep trying. Applause echoed in that quite spacious room.

“Wah, surely your ex-husband regrets yes, Sister. True said people, the best revenge is to make yourself better and successful,” chirped Rania.

“I always pray for her kindness,” reply Sofia smiled bitterly. He is lazy to talk about it.

The look of disbelief was still cast by Reza on Sofia. His heart throb was too strong, until he unconsciously squeezed his own chest. Sofia's departure for so many years, completely stabbing away her soul. His heart was crushed in a burning regret. He just realized, in fact, the woman he cursed maki had already seized his entire heart.

His life was a mess, Reza was always careless, his performance also decreased to many times get a warning letter until almost fired.

Reza was almost crazy when he was confused where to find his wife. Because, during marriage, Reza did not know the origin of his wife. The only person who knew Sofia, only the father had calmed down in another realm. He often rested on Surya's navel, crying whine like a child who lost a precious toy. All for free and for nothing.

Plus, Reza has absolutely no idea of the friendship cycle, the education of even the Sofia family. So that he really could not find his whereabouts.

“Child?” angry Reza who can not think clearly. He can't even focus on hearing Sofia's whole story. His blood boiled when Sofia mentioned the child. “How dare he cheat!” he continued to tighten the molars, the fists in both hands were so strong.

After a few questions sessions were over, Sofia left for the backstage. The show continued with the appearance of a talented child guest. Who else if not Nino.

Yes, in addition to peddling merchandise, Sofia uses her social media to upload her son's talent and ability to play the violin. Even the Instagram reels screenings reached tens of millions of viewers. Various comments of admiration, thrown for the boy.

Unable to stand it anymore, Reza got up from her seat. He had a little trouble getting down, considering his seat was in the back row.

“I have to ask for an explanation!” reza grumbled with anger that spread to the crown.

He did not want to waste the opportunity to meet Sofia. The first meeting he expected was certainly filled with novelty, not this kind of frustration.

Meanwhile, on a stage so magnificent and luxurious, equipped with stunning lighting highlighted on the boy who swiped the violin strings with great shrewdness.

Nino stood up straight, propping the instrument on one of her shoulders. His eyes closed to enjoy every groove created, combined with the arrangement of famous music of the country.

Likewise with female vocalists who sound so melodious, adding to the storm of the seminar stage at that time. Highlight cameras in various directions, broadcast live on one of the television stations.

Sofia shed tears, she stood beside the stage. Proud of his son's achievements, which are in accordance with his passion and not forced.

The man is also very interested in Sofia, the woman's prowess, craft and intelligence make Tama fall in love with Sofia, no matter her status.

“Hmm,” Sofia wiped the clear droplets that fell on her cheeks.

“Kok you even cry anyway.” Tama was about to extend her hand but Sofia moved back quickly. “Sorry. Reflexes,” he continued to see the awkwardness of Sofia.

“I don't know, what happens in my life if there's no Nino. He's the only one who makes me strong and can even be like this, all because of Nino. I am very proud of Nino,” murmured Sofia still teary.

“I'm also proud of you, Sofia,” praise Tama who made Sofia turn her head quickly.

“Ee .. means Nino. Yes, Nino is very proud!” errat Tama saw the unfriendly gaze of Sofia.

Reza adjusted her irregular breathing. Her hands clenched firmly looking at Sofia standing side by side with another man. He further extended his steps until now standing behind Sofia.

“Mama!” nino shouted running with the violin in her hand. Yeah, his looks just finished. And as he spread his gaze, the boy immediately ran over to the mother.

Sofia crouched down and hugged her son affectionately.

“Mama, I finally got a duet with my idol music arranger!” nino shouted with a wide laugh.

“Mama join the seneng, Darling. One of your dreams realized yes,” said Sofia cupped her son's cheeks.

“Iya, Mother. I deg deg a really big time earlier. Afraid of not being able to. Moreover, we gladi clean for just a moment. Mama, let's take photos, Ma!” take Nino to pull her mother's hand, ask for a photo with her idol. When is there another golden opportunity, he thought.

“Come on me who photographed. Let's have a photo together. Make mementos!” Tama interrupted the conversation of the mother and child. He was happy to see it. Really awesome.

“Oh! So this is why you left, Sofia! You cheated on me behind my back when we weren't officially divorced. Even to have a child!” reza's snapping vented the anger he had been holding back.

DEG!

This is what makes Sofia reluctant to go to Jakarta, especially considering Reza who also works in cosmetic companies. Surely this is going to happen. Sofia really did not want this meeting.

Sofia looked over, and so did Nino. They looked up to meet Reza's reddened eyes.
