Suppose that....

In his office suit, Sam walks down the stairs to the kitchen and sees Maya busy there. Sam goes to the shelf and makes milk for Maya, he is silent when he sees Maya's pregnancy milk box. A moment later Samuel removed his hand grip back on the famous brand's pregnancy milk box. Sam grabbed sweetened condensed milk plus honey which he then poured into a glass glass.

Even though they were in the same place, there was none of their warm talk and interaction as usual. They stood only behind each other, especially Maya who was just silent. Not greeting or hugging him and behaving spoiledly to Sam as usual. What bothered Samuel so much, he never felt at home every time he was in a situation like this.

Sam turned to look at the back of Maya who stepped away and carried two plates of sandwiches in her hands. Sam sighed again and walked after.

***

The atmosphere of silence enveloped their breakfast activities, no warm talk and funny laughter from Maya. There was only the sound of the clanking of cutlery filling the void that morning.

"I'm going to the park" said Maya suddenly. Samuel looked at her.

"After that I want to go to the cafe," Maya continued. Without looking at Samuel, his face bowed while cutting the sandwich with a knife and fork, then putting pieces of lettuce, chili sauce and smoked meat into his mouth.

"Who's the guy?"

"Himself."

"No, you haven't been home long since. What if there's nothing like you?"

"I can take care of myself" Maya replied indifferently without looking at Samuel.

"You can take care of yourself, the accident won't happen!" Samuel said with emphasis, making Maya surprised. Both of the neutrals are now a little wet and feel very painful.

"You're guilty of me?" maya's great-granddaughter pours a sandwich into her mouth.

"Sorry just---"

"Just you blame me for this accident? I lost my son, and you're guilty of me, aren't you Sam?" maya shouted with her sobs.

"It's not like that May."

"What am I supposed to do with Sam? I lost my son in-an....."

"And he's also my son, May!" Samuel cut Maya's conversation in a high tone. I don't know what Samuel had in mind this time.

"Losing is not just you, May! I lost her too! You don't know how I feel right now?!" Sam continued, for some reason that morning, Sam felt lost control of his emotions that he had always kept for Maya.

Just this time there was a quarrel between the two, so far there was never heard the tone of Samuel's speech so high in front of Maya. To make the aunt and also mbak Pur who was in the kitchen looked at each other surprised, and worried about the condition of his two employers.

"So please stop acting like you're the only one who lost her." Sam continued his remarks, but this time with a slightly softened intonation.

"I'm going to the park this morning, whether you let me or not."

Once again, silence was Maya's choice. He stopped spending his breakfast. Maya stood up and pushed the chair she was sitting in so that there was a creaking sound from the legs of the chair touching the floor.

Maya walks up to her room, leaving Samuel still sitting in the dining room.

"Damn....!! Damn.....!!" sam's curse was rough and simultaneously heard the sound of clinking knives and forks hitting a round plate made of ceramic.

.....

Under a shady tree in the corner of the park, Maya sits on one of the garden chairs complete with a small round table in front of her. As Maya's mind drifted now, back in time, the park was the site of her first encounter with Samuel. In this park also a few months ago Maya gave a surprise about her pregnancy to Sam.

Not feeling the time passed so quickly, the loss of a baby who is still in the womb is the most bitter reality in his life with Samuel.

From a distance the two Maya netra watched carefully a little boy who was about four years old was playing alone without supervision from anyone.

Maya frowned for a while, her head spinning as she circulated her gaze around the entire corner of the city park. And it was true, the boy who from a distance looked very handsome was playing a small object in his hand.

Maya is increasingly surprised when she realizes who the figure of the handsome little boy. Ocean-? thought Maya astonished.

"A.m....!" exclaim Maya while approaching the Ocean.

"Owny Aya.....!" exclaiming Samudra while waving both hands, shortly afterwards seen the little boy running towards into the arms of Maya.

"Where's your mom, Am?"

The ocean only shook its head in response to what Maya asked.

"Who were you here with?"

"Sustels...."

"Where's the nurse now?" ask Maya while looking to the left and right of the entire corner of the city park and the results are nil.

"Onty... play ama Am, yuk.." whimper the boy, his tiny hand grabbed Maya's fingers and dragged her to one of the other garden chairs.

"Owny.... Am wants it.. that's.buy onty.." point the Ocean toward the father of the soap bubble seller. Maya smiles a little and holds the tiny arm of Samudra.

"Well, what color is Am mo?"

"Pilk.... Am wants it.." whine the Ocean while showing its index finger leads to a blue liquid in that simple container.

"Yes-yes for a moment let the father take you Am." Maya said with a cheerful smile towards the little boy.

"Sir, ask for a blue dong. Love two yes." Maya said politely, now she grabbed the tiny body of the Ocean and brought it into her carrier.

The father of the toy seller also smiled happily, maybe in his mind he was happy because there was also someone who bought his merchandise.

Samudra grabbed a clear plastic package from the hand of the old father of the soap bubble seller, followed by a helping hand Maya handed a red sheet of money to the father of the soap seller. "The return is for you, yes" said Maya sincerely.

"Thank you." replied the father while nodding politely.

"Well.... Am now onty anter to the cafe yes, we meet his mommy Am."

The ocean shook slowly.

"Am mo main cama onty Aya... onty this iup... iup... iup..." whimper Samudra back, he stretched the bottle of blue soap bubble before Maya.

Maya smiled for a moment and shook her head slowly. "Okay, but we went to the cafe..." The ocean finally nodded in agreement and before long there was laughter, along with soap bubbles that flew in the air when Maya and Ocean blew them together.

Making the burden of Maya's grief is now gradually improving. He was with Samuel laughing together in this park, and now he again laughed together with a little boy who was also named Sam and managed to erase his sadness at this time.

....

Cafes

Martha's face looks very worried when the sister who guards the Ocean suddenly calls and tells her that the child is missing. That morning Samudra said he wanted to play in the city park, because Martha was still very preoccupied by the cafe business he also told Samudra's private sister to keep her playing in the park.

But now, he was so panicked when the nurse said that the Ocean disappeared. The nurse pleaded guilty to negligence in guarding the Ocean.

Many times he made mobile calls to Harris's cell phone, but was always answered by an answering machine. "Oh c'mon mas Harris...." Martha monologues as she tries to make a mobile call to Harris's number.

Until suddenly....

"Mommy.." the cry of the Ocean followed by the child's run into Martha's arms.

Making Maya smile little look at him, then the sadness reappeared.

If only.....

Inner Maya saw the Ocean embrace Martha very warmly.
