"Is he also his son?" miko asked who turned her gaze towards the little man behind Sarah.
Sarah kept Bagas from staying behind, as if hiding her son from the man standing before her.
From a distance, Sarah sees a teaching officer in a playgroup walking towards them. Sarah looked back, and saw Fadil who was still sitting while hugging Bela.
"Mas, you better get the kids out of here. Take them home, I'll catch up" Sarah exclaimed.
"But you ...," said Fadil.
"I still have a need with this man," cut Sarah quickly.
Fadil understood. He then stood up and held Bela who looked as though she wanted to. Tears had washed his entire cute face.
One hand tried to pull Bagas to come with him, but the little man actually hid both hands behind his back.
"Bagas wants to help Mom," he said.
"Dude! Nurut, Son!" sarah was strict with her son.
"But, ma'am .." said Bagas.
"Bagas, let's go home first. Mom will follow later. Hem," persuade Fadil.
"Bagas, let's go home. Sis bela is afraid," said Bela who was as unwilling.
Bagas also according, even though he felt worried about the mother.
Sarah seemed to understand her son's concern, and returned Bagas' gaze while nodding.
Fadil went to bring Bela and Bagas back home, leaving Miko and Sarah together.
After the three moved away, Sarah looked back at Miko furiously.
"You wait in the park near here. Please don't make a fuss where children learn and play. I don't want to be bullied tomorrow by his friends because of the silliness of someone who has been fighting here" Sarah exclaimed.
Miko realizes the arrival of the playgroup officer and leaves without saying anything more.
As soon as Miko, Sarah turned around and greeted the officer who had disappeared into his place.
"Assalamualaikum, Miss Nisa," said Sarah to one of the nannies and teachers of her son.
"Vaalaikumsalam. What is this Miss Sarah? I saw that the man hit his papa Bela. Is there a problem?" ask Nisa.
"Oh .. This is just a misunderstanding, ma'am. He ... he's Bagas' father. She had just come and was surprised to see her son with a stranger," Sarah replied slightly lying.
"So that man was Bagas' father? Well, Bagas must be very happy because his father has come," said Nisa.
"But, please don't say this to Bagas first, because I still can't explain the meaning of the word divorce to the child" Sarah said.
"I understand, Miss Sarah. But, it would be nice if Bagas could be close to his father. Isn't the mother's son eager to meet his father" exclaimed Nisa.
Sarah remained silent. Nisa is the one who always pays attention to Bagas in the playgroup. He often saw the envy that was implied from the little man's eyes when he saw his friends could be with their father.
He was the one who always conveyed Bagas behavior in that place, to make Sarah tell about her divorce with Miko.
After a short conversation with Nisa and explaining the chaos that occurred, Sarah also went to follow Miko to the place she mentioned earlier.
About fifteen minutes, Sarah had reached there and saw Miko who was sitting leaning on the hood of her car while folding her arms in front of her chest.
Sarah pulls the car over behind Miko's car. He came out and walked over to the man who was waiting for him.
"So, who's that boy? Is he your son? Is he your son? Did you guys plan all this, even before you were my wife? Tell me, Sarah! Say it!" cecar Miko instantly.
It turns out you're still the same as you used to be, Mom. Still you're selfish, Sarah's inner.
"Why can you do something like this? Don't you know how much I wish I could come back with you. I know I was wrong, but you were too cruel to do all this to me" Miko recalls.
Sarah's face was extinguished hearing all the accusations of her ex-husband against her.
"Why are you silent? Tell me who the kid is!" press Miko.
"Are you done talking?" ask Sarah to try to be as calm as possible.
Miko who had leaned forward towards Sarah, now stood up straight with a frown. He realized his attitude that had kept urging Sarah.
"Sorry, I .. I just ...," said Miko.
"Miko Santanu Aji's father, it looks like something has to be straightened out here" Sarah said.
"First of all, our relationship ended five years ago, so you no longer have the right to interfere in my life. Second, after divorce, I am a free woman. So, my business wants to be in a relationship with anyone and again, you have no right to judge it. Third, all of your accusations, let's just say everything is true, because I don't intend to give clarification" Sarah said firmly.
Miko flinching. He didn't think Sarah would say that. However, it also made him aware of his current position.
Sarah who saw Miko was silent, resumed her words.
"If there's nothing else to talk about, I'm sorry" Sarah said.
He turned around and headed back to his car.
"Why don't you deny it? Is everything true, if you are with him and live happily to have a child? Is it possible that you even forgot about our dead son?" ask Miko.
Sarah stopped her steps, but stopped to turn around. His hands clenched back with reddened eyes.
Your son is alive, Mas. That boy is your son, inner Sarah.
"I didn't think you were that hard on us. Apparently, I've misjudged you. You're not as good as you look" scorned Miko.
"Well, it's good that you're sober. So from now on, please remember if our relationship is only limited to superiors and subordinates, no more," concluded Sarah.
He continued his steps and got into the car. He drove the iron horse leaving Miko still standing in his place.
I'm sorry, Mas. Your selfish nature keeps me from telling you the truth. I'm afraid that you'll be selfish towards both of us, as your parents once threatened me. Sorry, inner Sarah.
The woman drove her car with dewy eyes, making her vision blurry. Sarah wiped away the tears with the back of her hand.
I have to be strong. This has become the path of life I have chosen. Strong, Sarah. Strong, inner Sarah.
He took a deep breath and threw it away at once. The pain from the wounds in the past reopened, along with Miko's presence again in her life.

Sorry, maybe there is something about why I present Miko again, the answer is yes because the business of Sarah and Miko is not finished.
Bagas is still a secret to the miko that has not been revealed. So, surely here Miko must be present and force othor to make it tau๐โ
