Renalda
Athena

In the morning, Rafa visited Mika's house. He is now waiting for Athena who is being bathed by mbak Ni.

"Where are you going to Raf, take all Athena?" ask Aina.

"You're on vacation, Auntie. The job is a bit of a stretch" replied Rafa.

"Are you sure you are Athena? Alda not taken? or maybe Ni will come along. You'll be bothered later, son" worried Aina.

"It's okay Tan, it's common. His name also has a son" said Rafa.

"Be careful lhoo bring Athena. He was a child, still a little sensitive to the outside" Aina's message said.

Rafa nodded.

"Surely, Tan" he said.

Before long, Ma'am Ni came down from the stairs. Not to forget Athena who was in her carrying, also a tote bag containing Athena's equipment.

"Mbak Ni ready for Athens equipment until the afternoon? Food, milk, biscuits as well, uh clothes too" Aina passed on Athena's equipment.

"Already, madam. Everything is in the carry bag" replied Mbak Mi.

Aina held her grandson for a while.

"The smart one wants to be with his papi. Don't fuss" Aina's message to the baby in her carrier. He kissed the grandchild's cheek many times.

"Omaaa Oma" said Athena.

"Bright granddaughter Oma" Aina once again kissed the granddaughter's cheek before giving it to Rafa.

"Raf, ma'am Ni come along" worried Aina. He was afraid Rafa would be too late to take care of small children.

"Calm, Tan. Yaudah, Rafa said yes. Greetings to Alda and Mika, sorry not waiting for Alda to wake up first" said Rafa as he shook Aina's hand. Aina did not forget to stroke Rafa's head, which she thought was like her own child. Especially since the departure of James and Rina, Rafa is so lonely. Getting lost in the mud. Even so, Aina was grateful, Rafa got the trust from God through her lost path.

Instead of riding his car which of course has a driver, Rafa prefers to book a car on his mobile application.

Since returning home from Mika's residence last night, Rafa thought. He felt so despicable, letting his son be raised by his best friend. Although not completely, because Alda himself who wants also been approved by Lathief and Aina, Rafa also certainly did not forget the material needs of Athens. Under the agreement, Alda would be with Athens, while Athens's needs remained Rafa's obligations.

The problem is certainly not that. It's true what Mika said. He forgot to think about Alda's position who was an unmarried girl. What if people thought Alda was an unborn woman, already had children but no husband. Or what if someone wants to propose to Alda but object to the presence of Athena on Alda's side. With all consideration, Rafa will take Athena away with him, somewhere, not until when.

"Bak Ni, where is Athena?" ask Alda who saw mbak Ni help his ART cooking.

Just this time Rafa took Athena without telling her first, Alda thought.

"Why deck?" asked Aina who had just entered the kitchen.

"Why didn't you tell me to take Athena for a walk?" lirih Alda's.

Aina wonder.

"Lho, didn't Rafa say yes last night?" ask Aina.

"No, ma. Nothing" replied Alda.

"Lhaa is yes. Mama saw Rafa herself to your room, she said Athena would be taken for a walk but she must tell you first" Aina said.

"Everynight? After mama from the adek room, right?" ask Alda to make sure.

Aina nodded.

"It's just my brother going to the room" Alda said.

He was silent for a moment.

Then ran to his room, took his cell phone. Apparently there's a message coming in from Rafa.

The Papa Athena

Al, thanks for everything. Thanks for being a friend, so you're also a good mother to Athena. I'm sorry. Sorry to have pulled Alda so far into my problems, sorry to have inconvenienced Alda in raising Athena, sorry also never thought about Alda's future. Sorry I didn't say take Athena away. Doaian well, I can take care of Athena.

Rafa also apparently sent Alda a photo. Where Athena was laughing, showing her teeth.

Alda was crying so hard. Athena is gone.

Alda's sure, Rafa really went to his room last night. He might have heard Mika's words as well.

Alda tried to call Rafa's number, but it was all for nothing. Rafa always knows how to disappear, he would deliberately damage his phone and damage his card and then throw it away.

Alda was dazed, confused as to what to do. He went back to his bed and cried in silence. Only her tears flowed. Athena left, she'll be lonely again. There was no more baby laughter, whimpering as well as Athena's cries.
