The Heart You Injured
Chapter 40. Bayu's Lie

Bayu swung his leg into the airport area. As told by whatsapp, the person he was going to pick up was waiting in one of the cafeterias in the area. The man seemed so focused on finding where the cafe was.

A thin smile was on Bayu's lips when the place he was looking for was not far from where he stood. In a hurry, he took wide footsteps to be able to meet the child of his offline customers immediately. His gaze circled around and finally focused on the figure of a beautiful woman wearing jeans and a white blouse and next to her sat a little girl who was about six years old.

To make sure that it is not wrong for people that the woman is the one he is looking for, Bayu momentarily looked at the profile photo that is in WhatsApp contacts. And as he expected, that woman was what he was looking for.

"Mother Maya?" said Bayu greeting the woman who was sitting while enjoying avocado juice in front of him.

The woman named Maya looked up a little. Looking towards Bayu. "Mas Bayu huh?"

Bayu smiled faintly while nodding his head. "Yes Ma'am, I'm Bayu. Sorry if it's a little late. The road is jammed so I'm late to here."

"It's okay, I haven't waited too long either. It was also a little delayed flight, so I got here too late." Maya rubs her lips using a tissue to. "Let's sit down first. And please order food or drink that you love."

"Eh no need Ma'am. It'll be a hassle later."

"No one bothered Mas. Let's order first."

Bayu surrender. He shifted the empty stool in front of him and he put his ass there. He ordered hot chocolate to enjoy it.

"Mrs ... Om who is this? Driver Oma?" ask the little girl sitting beside Maya innocently.

Maya just chuckled softly while pinching her daughter's cheek. "Sstttt .... Honey, don't talk like that. This is not Oma's driver. Om this is the person who asked Oma to help us. Let's salim and acquaintance first with Om."

Bayu who saw the figure of this little girl suddenly made his heart feel so warm. I don't know because of what. But he seemed to miss the presence of a child who he had not got until now.

"O pretty boy, what's your name?" tanya Bayu tried to communicate with this little girl.

The little girl at first just looked at Bayu's face with question marks but a moment later she smiled widely.

"Hallo Om .. My name is Cantika. I'm six years old."

"Cantica? His name is exactly with his person. Equally beautiful. Cantika's been to school?"

The little girl who was ponytailed nodded her head. "yes Om. I'm already in first grade at SD."

"Well, great."

Maya just chuckled softly at Bayu's familiarity with this daughter. It is quite unexpected if Cantika can welcome the existence of Bayu with high enthusiasm. Though usually this daughter is difficult to smile if acquainted with new people.

"Oh yes Ma'am, is there anything else we're waiting for?" tanya Bayu made sure. Perhaps the husband of this woman also participated.

Maya shook her head. "There is no Mas. Who are we waiting for?"

"Sorry, is Maya's husband not participating?"

Maya who had just gulped her avocado juice suddenly choked. The woman coughed when she got a question from Bayu.

Bayu jerks. Guilt suddenly overwhelms the heart. He thought if there was something wrong with this question.

"Gosh, is my question something wrong? To make Maya cough like this?"

"There's nothing more we're waiting for. Because there was only me and Cantika who left from Surabaya. As for the husband...." Maya paused for a moment and glanced at Cantika who was in focus with the tablet in hand. "I've been divorced from my husband for a long time. Since Cantika was three."

"Oh my goodness .. I'm sorry Ma'am, I didn't mean to be presumptuous. I think this Maya Ma'am..."

Maya just laughed softly. "It's okay, relax. That thing is long gone. I choked with shock, suddenly someone asked me about my ex-husband. Then, if Mas Bayu himself how? Is she married? And what's the bustle?"

A question that was very easy to answer but immediately turned into a question that seemed difficult to answer. Bayu was a little flabbergasted when he understood this woman's question. Suddenly he was overwhelmed by confusion.

Well, this I have to answer what? This woman is a rich widow, isn't it good that I can get close to her? But how can I explain my status that I am married?

"Mas, Mas Bayu? How bengong?"

Bayu. For a moment, he blinked his eyes and smiled faintly. "Eh, sorry, Ma'am." The man put on a sad face and occasionally let out a long sigh. As if to show that there is a sense of tightness that hit.

"What's up, Mom?" so Maya wants to know.

"The story is complicated. I am married, but my wife is not grateful for everything I give..."

"What do you mean by Bayu?"

Bayu let out a rough breath with a look in his eyes. "So my wife always demands more. He said I couldn't meet all his needs. Shopping and preening needs. Therefore, he went abroad to become TKW Mbak. To make himself happy. It's been three years that he's been abroad."

Maya flabbergasted. "God ... Until it's like that? So until now Mas Bayu's wife never sent money?"

Bayu shook his head. "Not at all, Ma'am. Let alone sending money, my cell phone number alone he blocked, so until now I can not communicate."

Maya's face was also sad to hear Bayu's story. "Geez, I'm sorry to hear that. Then, what is this Mayu now busy?"

"Yes, this is what Ma'am is like, so the driver ojek online. But in addition I also have a cracker factory managed by my mother. Yeah, as a small business, ma'am."

"Cckckkk... Cckkkkk .. I really salute Mas Bayu. Can be patient and sincere to get a bad attitude from his wife. Hopefully things will get better again, Mas."

Bayu puts his shoulders like a gesture that he is starting to give up on his marriage. "Entahlah. For three years I did not know the news about my wife. Yeah, hopefully still strong. Otherwise, it feels like I just want to part ways instead of always being tormented.".
