Sorry your Husband I Borrowed
The Road Again, Three

Confused where to go this week. But, as I recall, I still have an appointment with Fira. Want to take an afternoon walk, eat corn and ride odong-odong to the nearest supermarket.

''Where is the plan this week? Take me for a walk, said Boss Robert, suddenly.

I was just thinking about my vacation plans. Turns out to be with Boss Robert.

But, I thought for a moment, whether or not he accepted her request. What about Fira, if I stay. Usually, if there is an official duty out of town, I always ask for help with Bik Minah, make Fira sleep at home.

Long time no I answered Boss Robert's invitation through the chat. He finally called me directly.

''Please come with me. There's an important task. So I need a staff to accompany me. Some travel business owners, want to hold a dinner. So, the people of the Department of Culture, must come along.'' he explained at length and forced me to come along.

''Wait sir, I want time!'' I answered Boss Robert.

''How many times, I told you. Don't call me father. I am your father!'' snapped it.

''Hahahahahah.'' I laughed off my phone.

''Yes, Bang!'' call me to clarify my call earlier.

''You must come!'' order him again.

''Hm.oke sir, '' I replied spontaneously, because it was urged. In fact, I plan not to follow with the task of him out of the city.

''If you need to take Fira, let him take a walk there too.'' he added.

''O''Wuihh. OKE. Okay. Thanks, Bang!'' i said gleefully.

Sunday morning, Fira and I got ready on the way. Fira looks really happy when I take her for a walk.

''Ma, the streets are far away huh?'' ask him curious.

''Yes, darling. We'll get on the boat. Fira will be able to see the sea, lama.'' I explained to him.

''Seriously Ma?'' ask him he still doesn't believe.

I tried to make him believe. To eat on the ship, I deliberately bring food from home, make breakfast later. Because, if breakfast first from home, he does not like. Not usually breakfast too early. At most, 10:00 wib is the new breakfast.

Boss Robert, call me back and forth, said he waited an hour in the port of Roro.

''Oh, that means he's in a private car. Mercifully. Fira can be comfortable, later sleep in the car, later.

Actually I can't bear it, woke him up too early. At 05.00 wib, I told him to get up and get ready to take a shower. He was still whining, not taking a shower. But, after I told you about going on a boat, going for a walk, Fira was immediately happy not to play.

''Let's take a pity ya shower,'' I said persuaded him.

As for Mas Arga, I still cringe in front of the TV. I don't know, he heard it or not, the conversation I had with Fira. ''Maybe listen, or pretend to be asleep, I don't know. Leave it!'' said ngebatin.

But, as bad as I am, going anywhere, I always say goodbye, even though behind it there is something I cover, where I go. All that, because of Boss Robert. No way, I'm honest with Mas Arga, if you want to go with boss Robert. That's his name to look for dead! Huhahahahah!

''Mas, I'm with Fira, want to go, there is an office event, '' I said to Mas Arga.

''Hmmm.

Fira, I asked for a farewell to her papa.

''Honey, salim used to be the same papa huh. Keep going yuk, take a walk!'' I said to Fira.

Fira also grabbed the hand of Mas Arga, then salaman papa he .

''Fira street yes, same Mama,'' he said, in a spoiled voice.

''Hmmmm, what a pinter this one papa boy yes, '' said Mas Arga. Then we left the house.

To the harbor, Fira and I got in the car. A little speeding because at 07.00 wib, it must be in the port. The boat leaves at 08.00 wib.

Along the way, Fira looks happy. She sang to the music I played in the car.

''No drowsiness, huh? Waking up this morning. Go to sleep, before reaching the port, mama will wake up.'' I said to the little girl beside me.

In the passenger waiting area, I saw Boss Robert sitting alone. I see, he's wailing. I must be impatient to wait for my arrival.

I accelerated my steps towards the direction where he was sitting. I look down Fira's hand whose face is still visible still holding back sleepiness. In fact, I was singing, happy. But, I see, halfway through, she's asleep.

''Oh my God, I'm sorry son, '' I said to him.

''Fira is still sleepy. Later we bobbed in his car Om Obet yes, I said to him and tried to carry him because his steps were a little slow. I'm sure he's still sleepy.

''Yuk,'' take Boss Robert, heading to his car, which is waiting for the queue to get into the roro ship.

I followed Boss Robert's steps from behind. He replaced me, carrying Fira.

''Here let me take him to the car, '' said Boss Robert, taking Fira from my sling.

''Cassian she is, Bang. Sleepy heavy. It was 05:00 wib, I woke him up. I told you to take a shower in a hurry.'' My story is with Boss Robert.

***

Arriving at the location, Boss Robert and I headed straight to the hotel where the event was. He boking two rooms. One for Boss Robert, and one more room, for me with Fira. Incidentally, the night event. So, me and Fira, had a break. Then, Boss Robert took a walk to the mall. He said he wanted to kick Fira, eat ice cream. Hearing that, Fira was delighted to be amazing.

''You.....Ma...mau...ice cream, he told me.

''Yes, yes, we will take Om Obet's car.

''Yes want Ma.'' said he again.

I told her to take a shower first, then put on some pretty clothes.

''Ma, later buy toys for cooking yes, '' he asked.

''Hmmm.kan Fira already has a baby. Most of the time, keep the closet full. Mama will be hard packed!'' I said give Fira some understanding.

He just shut up. It seems like he's trying to digest what I'm telling him.

''Ma, that barby doll?'' he said negotiate with me again.

''Hm..iya deh, we will look for yes, the same Obet, ''' I said promise him.

*Tingtong.

''Definitely this Boss Robert.''

He's in sight, waiting for me and Fira.

''I'll wait in the lobby, okay?'' he said to ask me to get ready.

''Good morning, Mr. Obet.'' said Fira.

Oh, my God, my son.......

He is a really pinter.....

''Yes, Fira....Wait in the lobby. We go for a walk said Boss Robert who was still standing straight at the door. Before long, he passed, and I closed the door again.

''Dear, we are ready to go down, waiting for Om Obet below, '' I said.

''Fira, later do not ask macem-macem same as Obet. Later Mama is embarrassed.'' I said to look at Fira.

He nodded his head. Signs understand what I am saying.(***)
