"I'm waiting in the living room now."
Fina put away her phone after receiving a call from Benny. He squinted when he saw the time on his phone, it was already ten at night, "yes sir," Fina replied after a few seconds of silence to collect half his soul.
The beautiful girl took a deep breath as she got up from the comfortable bed she had been in all this time. He glanced at his left side, seen Elza was already sleeping soundly while hugging the bolster. Fina grabbed the instant hijab that was on the table before exiting her room to meet Benny.
"I'm sorry, sir, it's been a long wait" Fina said as she reached the living room.
"Okay, no problem. Please sit down." Benny allowed Fina to sit on a single sofa not far from him.
"What's up, sir?" fina asked as she looked at Benny.
"Today is the time for you to renew your employment contract, even if you are still interested in working as Elza's nanny. I used to talk, if your every work period has been running for one year, then there will be a contract extension. Here's the contract, please sign." Benny handed Fina a letter.
The girl received the letter. Before signing the signature, he read the letter first. The deal is still the same as before and he immediately signed the letter.
"Already, Sir. I will not stop being Elza's nanny, because I still need this job" explained Fina with a gaze that could not be separated from Benny.
"Thank you for keeping this job." Benny took the letter, "oh yes, your salary I raised five hundred thousand because your work is very good. I've never heard a complaint about Elza. That means you managed to educate him" Benny said with a sweet smile.
Of course Fina was very happy to hear this. He smiled broadly in front of Benny as he could not hide his happiness, "thank you, sir." Fina cupped her hands together in front of her chest with a nod of her head as a sign of respect.
"Either. I hope after this you can keep a close eye on Elza, because I am getting busy with work and other affairs. Maybe I go home late and I rarely get to be with Elza." Benny leaned his body on the sofa as he explained that.
"Yes, Sir. I'll run what Mr. Ben asks." Fina took it upon herself because without being asked she knew what her job was as a nanny, "oh yeah, sir. There is something I have to discuss with you about the development of Elza," said Fina when reminded of a message sent by Ali this afternoon.
"Tell me," said Benny, staring at Fina.
Fina explained the continuation of the training she had been doing with Elza at home and Benny already knew about it. Since Elza has mastered the basic techniques and by breathing used provisions for further training, the little boy is ready to go to pencak silat college to develop his talent. Coach Fina named Ali has recommended the best training ground in Surabaya for Elza. Therefore Fina asked permission to Benny as Elza's parents.
"If this is the best for Elza, just put Elza into the college. It doesn't interfere with Elza's health or school. Do whatever it takes if it's best for Elza. I don't mind, you stay a report to me if there's a fee to be incurred." explained Benny after hearing a lengthy explanation from Fina.
"Good, Sir. Then tomorrow I will come to the training ground to register Elza. Then I have to take an online taxi tomorrow because I don't know the place, sir" Fina said after hearing Benny's decision.
"That's so much better than you stray. Anyway, I'll have activities till night tomorrow, so I can't take Elza." Of course this answer makes Fina a little disappointed because he hopes Benny is willing to take Elza and see how the development of his son.
Since Benny was dating a substitute woman Poppy who was none other than a dangdut biduan quite famous in Surabaya, the established widower was rarely there time with Elza. Almost every night he went out and came home in the early hours. He seemed to be in love with the hymn until he forgot that Elza needed his attention. The biduan named Renata managed to divert the world of the established widower.
"Sir, please excuse me in advance. Elza asked me what her mother's name was, because at school she was asked about her mother's name. Elza mentioned my name as her mother when asked by the teacher. Well, this afternoon I explained to him if I wasn't his mother. Therefore he kept asking about who exactly the mother figure as mentioned by the teacher in the school." Fina let out her complaints to Benny.
"You should have just. Let her consider you her mother for a while. I'll talk to him if the time is right. I'm not ready if I have to reveal my wife's figure in front of Elza at the moment" Benny replied with a straight forward look. The look of his sad eyes was clearly visible there when the handsome widower called out the word 'my wife'. It seems like a lot of feelings are being masked Benny from everyone.
"Will but all of that would be the same as lying to Elza, right, sir? I'm not his mother, sir." There was a sense of disbelief when Fina had to acknowledge herself as Elza's mother, "i wasn't ready sir, if I had to lie to Elza. He's a critical and intelligent boy. If I lie for this, then next I will make a bigger lie," complained Fina while looking at Benny who was pensive.
It seemed like the handsome widower was thinking about Fina's opinion. For some reason, it feels so heavy when it comes to uncovering the figure of the woman who is always in the heart to the fruits of her love with the woman. Either he was afraid or deliberately unwilling to reveal the figure of the mother who gave birth to his son into this world. Nurmala has meant so much in Benny's life. The women who have been present in his life are only to cover up a truth, if he has not been able to forget the figure of the woman who has long returned to the lap of God.
"Don't force me to tell Elza who her mother is. I'm not ready to remember what my wife is. I'm handing this over to you, Fin. If you can explain to Elza who her mother is without her asking me, go ahead. I'll send you a picture of my wife" Benny said before leaving Fina in the living room. The beautiful girl was pensive after hearing a long explanation from Benny.
