PENGHALAM
Chapter 78. Back To Apartment

It doesn't feel like two months have passed. Vira felt comfortable in the house, but still he did not want to stay there any longer because he did not want to be a burden on others. He must return to his apartment and will one day return to work if circumstances permit.

The little baby is growing healthy. Vira named her baby Leon Mathias Aryaka. His nickname is Leon.

Her baby's sleep hours are also regular. No more waking up in the middle of the night because of hunger or because of urination. Vira is happy that there is no one to wake up in the middle of the night because of her baby. At least now she can sleep with her baby at night without worrying about being disturbed because of the baby's cry in the middle of the night.

"Are you sure you're going home tomorrow to your apartment? Isn't it wrong that you stay here longer? Are you feeling well?" mama Raka asked Vira.

It turns out that not only Vira, Mama Raka also felt unwilling when Vira left the house so quickly. Even though Mama Raka felt that she was very comfortable playing with the baby, like remembering the old youth where she had just first had children. She also wants to give a lot to Vira, whether it's an item or also in terms of the experience of being a mother. It could be very valuable to Vira.

"Yes, Ma. I can't possibly stay here. I also need to get ready to go back to work. My own son should also know my apartment."

Mama Raka put on a sad and disappointed face. Didn't expect that Vira would be home so soon even though she could still visit Vira whenever she wanted. However, still far and near is a very influential thing. It would be much more fun if Vira stayed here and lived with them.

"We really hope you stay here a while longer. How about your homework? Who would help you if you were alone in that apartment? Wouldn't it be so troublesome? You also have to ensure the safety of your baby. Two months old is still very vulnerable to him, however he still can't scream if he feels something bad around him."

With all sorts of ways Mama Raka was trying to stop Vira. He still wanted to persuade the woman to stay even longer with them, for at least another month. He was not ready to separate from the baby.

"That can be thought of for now. Most importantly I'm very healthy and I can handle everything myself. I can't possibly trouble mama keep. I also miss the atmosphere in the apartment. I hired one man to help me, Ma."

Mama Raka sighed. "It turns out you still think that all this time you've been making us hassles. Stop it, stop that thought. Mom was happy to do all that. That's why mama still wishes you and Leon would stay here any longer."

"Stay, I want to go back to the apartment tomorrow. Mama doesn't have to worry too much. Raka will make sure I'm okay. My apartment is very close to her apartment. It's easy for him to visit me when needed."

Mama Raka finally chooses to give up, she knows how women think. He couldn't possibly force Vira to stay in his house.

After all, he also felt relieved if indeed his son gave security guarantees to Vira, when Vira had to return to her apartment and only lived alone with her two-month-old son. It was already more than enough to get him to agree to a decision from Vira.

"Well, if you need help, don't ever hesitate to call Mama or any of the people in this house. We'll visit you there."

Vira nodded. After that conversation and Mama Raka came out of her room, she also began to clean up all her things that were not too much so there was no need to take a lot of time.

"So when do you think I should go back to work?" vira asked Raka as the man was sweeping Vira's room. A while ago Raka also made milk for Vira. Milk given by the doctor.

Raka did not allow the housekeeper to enter Vira's room. For him it was a private space.

"There will be a time, but certainly not now. Your son still needs you. It's also too soon to get back to work. Kanu knows that your own condition is not too good. Maybe you feel healthy, but I'm worried that you should go back to work in this state. For now it's better to just focus on your son."

Vira just complies. Actually, he longed for the work atmosphere. He wants to go back to the office and work on the laptop and all the paperwork. He also misses talking to some of his friends in the office. He never again went to the cafe to just unwind.

However, that does not mean that he feels very burdened with the current situation. Instead, he felt he was getting a new gift as a reliever of fatigue in addition to going to the cafe or shopping. Simply staring at the baby's face alone made him very grateful and his fatigue evaporated just like that, as if nothing had happened before.

As if the problem just disappeared. He did not know what miracle this child had so he could make her very happy just by looking at her face.

"Alright, I understand why you told me not to work at a time like this. I can't leave him alone either."

Raka looked at Vira after staring at the neighborhood of the apartment. She knew that Vira might not be able to keep the baby alone because these two months were always helped by her mother.

Vira needs a better solution than this. Even though Raka already thinks that coming here is her duty after work, she still can't help everyone to look after her baby Vira like her mother.

Because there are times when he is busy with work and can not go home quickly. They are not married anyway. So Raka's top priority has not yet moved on to Vira.

"I'll find a nurse and security for your apartment. I can't possibly let you keep your baby alone when night falls and without any security. I hope you don't argue and feel like you're troubling the person who's your assistant."

"It's up to Mas, all" said Vira resigned.

Vira just smiled a little hearing that. He nodded as he felt that it was a good idea and also the safest for him at the moment. She needs one assistant to help her with her baby and security to secure her apartment at night.
