At exactly 4 pm, Via had returned to the apartment and saw his little daughter playing on the field accompanied by the mother and the other children.
He got out of the car and walked towards them while carrying his briefcase. "Assalamu'alaikum."
Novi's mother and several other mothers turned towards Via. "Wa'alaikum greetings, you're home, son?"
Via barks Novi's mother's hand and sits beside her. "Already, Mom. The job's ready sooner."
"Thank God it's like that."
They then chatted with the other mothers while waiting for Yara to finish playing. Sometimes Via will laugh when listening to their babble, and fortunately the environment where they live is very good and also friendly.
In the middle of that chatter, the suddenly vibrating Via phone made him quickly pick up the call from Mahen.
"Hello, assalamu'alaikum,"
"Wa'alaikum greetings, I've been in the parking lot of your apartment."
Via immediately looked to and fro to look for Mahen's whereabouts, then his gaze was fixed on the car at the end of the parking lot. "alright. You just wait there, Mas. Let me go there."
"Hem."
Tut's.
The call was immediately interrupted making Via did not have time to say hello. "Basic, it's always been that way." He then turned towards his mother. "Mom, Mas Mahen has arrived here. Come on, let's get Yara home."
Novi's mother nodded then immediately called Yara to go home, not forgetting to say goodbye to everyone in the place to enter the apartment.
Via himself had already walked towards Mahen who was watching him from a distance, then the man got out of the car when he was almost there.
"Come, Mas!"
Mahen nodded while carrying something he would give to Yara, his feet following Via's steps to get into the apartment. He noticed every corner of the apartment that looked comfortable and warm, although much different from their home first.
"Father!"
Yara who saw the presence of the papa immediately ran from inside the apartment, making Mahen squat his body and directly hug the body of the little girl.
"Yala kangen Papa, huhuhu." Yara sobbed in Mahen's arms making Via look at her heartily, she then turned around as she could not bear to see her daughter's grief.
"I'm sorry papa, honey. Papa was busy last night, but tomorrow-tomorrow is not busy anymore." Mahen looked towards Via who was turning his back on them.
"Why? Papa promise?" Yara let go of her embrace and looked at Mahen with bright sparkling eyes.
"Of course, but if mama Yara can work together with papa," said Mahen making Via sigh rough.
Yara then turned to her mother to make Via immediately smile broadly. "Mama, do you want to be the same as Papa?"
Via smiled while nodding his head. "Of course, honey. Now come on, let's go in!"
"Yeah!" Yara immediately jumped up in excitement making both her parents happy too. "Well, it must be more subtle if Om Pano is here too. I'll call Pano." He immediately ran into the apartment to contact Vano.
Via could only sigh heavily for not wanting to fight with Mahen, let alone in this kind of atmosphere. "I never intended to change your position in Yara's life, and that would never happen. But Yara also knew who had been accompanying her all this time when the papa she missed was busy."
Mahen immediately silently heard Via's words, he then chose to enter the apartment because he could not refute the woman's words.
After Yara spent time playing with Mahen and Via, they also enjoyed dinner together as they always did.
Mahen continued to pay attention to the laughter on Via's face, he really missed the woman very much. Even now his chest was pounding fiercely every time he met eyes with Via.
At exactly 9 p.m., Mahen put Yara to sleep in the room together with Via. Usually they would lie on the right and left of the little girl, but now Via was just sitting in the study seat watching them.
Suddenly Mahen's eyes glazed as old memories flashed in his memory, especially now he was like living alone even though he was married again.
After officially divorcing, Mahen married Clara immediately because of coercion from the woman. However, the Mahen family disagreed if they were legally married on corporate grounds. If the baby in Clara's womb is born, then they will change the series marriage with a valid marriage.
Mahen then decided to go home when he saw Yara was closed, he stepped out with in between by Via after saying goodbye to Ms. Novi.
"Be careful on the road, Mas. And thank you for today" said Via with a sincere smile on his face.
Deg.
Mahen felt his chest that was back in turmoil, his eyes reluctant to turn away from the face of Via who currently looked very bright in his eyes.
"Mas!"
Mahen gasped in shock upon hearing Via's call. "When I go home first." He immediately left the place before anything happened that he might have wanted.
Via then went back in when he saw Mahen had entered the elevator, he stepped into the room because today his body felt very tired. She lay down next to Yara while pulling the blanket for her daughter.
Without waiting for long, the two eyes of Via instantly closed as soon as he kissed the pillow. The amount of work he had to complete made his body tired, and both eyes were also easily closed.
*
Tring, tring, tring.
Via wriggled his body when he heard his phone ring, he quickly picked up the flat object before Yara woke up to it.
"Yes, hello?"
"...."
"What?"
