The Unconfessed Wife
Mau

After the lesson, Leo asked to go play in the park with his mom. He hasn't played there in a long time with his friends. Nico actually wants to take on Alena. But because there was something sudden that she could not leave behind, Alena finally went alone. This is Alena's chance to ask Leo's recorders about her plan. If there's Nico, it might get incitement from his papa.

Alena takes Leo into the park. He let Leo run around. Until tiredness attacks him, Leo approaches his mama.

"Ma, I'm tired" said Leo as he sipped a drink he used to bring at school or tutoring.

"Rest first baby, later continue playing again," replied Alena smooth.

"Emmm... Leo can you ask for your opinion?" Alena asked Leo.

"May ma, what?"

"If Leo has a new papa?" alena asked carefully.

"What happened to Papa Nico, ma?"

"Em.. papa and mama are no match anymore dear. It will be hard to unite. If Leo objected to having a new papa, mom was okay. The important thing is that Leo can be happy, your mom is happy. Mama just wants to ask for your opinion" said Alena softly.

"Papa Nico likes to make a cry mama keep huh? Then don't, ma. I don't want my mom to be sad anymore. What's Leo's new papa, that one yesterday?"

"How do you know?"

“Leo has heard that Om likes mama. I heard it from my grandparents when we played."

“Leo not angry?”

“No, Leo is not angry. Why should I be angry? If it can make mama happy Leo wants to have a new papa,” replied Leo firmly.

“But there are conditions,” says Leo again.

“Terms? What?” ask Alena.

“Om it can't make mama cry again like she used to. If until Om it makes mama cry, Leo will take away mama far and will not meet with ready-who else.” Said Leo.

Alena was very moved by her son's answer. At her young age, she can think of the happiness of her parents and take care of herself. 

“Mama is very lucky to have you dear,” said Alena while hugging Leo.

“I love mama,” reply Leo while returning Alena's embrace.

After being satisfied to play, Alena invites Leo to go home. “Let's go home, soon the sky will be dark,” said Alena.

“Come ma, Leo is also hungry.” while holding his stomach.

“Ok! Later mama cook your favorite food,” reply while holding Leo's hand.

Arriving at Alena's house immediately cooks for dinner. Looking at the deserted house it seems Nico hasn't returned yet. Alena continued cooking. When she finished, Alena arranged everything on the dining table. When Leo and Alena are enjoying their meal, Nico suddenly comes and joins them.

“Papa can come eat?” ask Leo Nico.

“Sure pa, papa can come eat with us,” replied Leo.

“Iya Al, tomorrow I have to go back. That's why I've done some things here. Have you asked Leo's opinion?” 

“It's a big deal, Leo agreed as long as he didn't make me cry. If she makes me cry, Leo will take me away,”.

“Leo good boy. He can take care of you wherever you are. Forgive me for always making you cry, maybe this is God's reply because all this time I wasted you. During my time as your husband, I made a lot of mistakes. I realize that I made a lot of mistakes with you, I'm sorry. After this, I hope you can live happily with whomever you choose,” merrily Nico said.

“Iya mas, forgive me also for not being able to be a good wife for you. I can't make you happy either. Hope you can find someone who can understand you and love you completely.” 

The atmosphere of the dinner became more muted than usual. Apologizing each other even though it was too late, did not break the familial rope between them. The existence of small children who become their liaison even though they have to live apart, not fading affection for each other. Though love is in a different form.

Early in the morning Nico was ready with his suit and some suitcases that he had packed last night. Nico has to return to his home country because of a business he can't stay in for long.

“You're ready mas?” ask Alena who saw Nico is neat. Alena and Leo will take Nico to the airport. Coincidentally today is the date of Leo's school holiday, so can join us to take his father's departure.

“Already, Where's Leo?”

“A minute down,”

“I put the suitcase first if so,” said Nico.

“Iya mas, I call Leo first.” Walking to Leo's room.

Arriving there, Alena sees Leo crying.

“Why baby, are you so cute?” Alena tried asking Leo.

“What papa won't come back here again?” ask Leo.

“Sure papa will come back here again. But this is a job you have to finish first, so you have to go home. Later if papa has a work holiday must be here again,” said Alena.

“Really? Papa can still come here even though Leo will have a new papa?” suddenly escaped from Leo's little mouth.

“Is Leo afraid that if you have a new papa, Leo will not be able to see Papa Nico again?” ask Alena to investigate.

“Iya,” replied Leo while nodding his head.

“Honey, mommy tell ya. Although Leo will have a new father, Papa Nico will still be Leo's father. Papa Nico can also play here again, or if Leo wants to come papa is also okay. But that's later if Leo is old and can be independent. If now, let Papa Nico work first to find a lot of money so that he can come again to play with Leo. Mom or new dad Leo will not forbid Leo to meet Papa Nico. So don't be afraid if you can't see Papa Nico again,” explained Alena.

Nica who heard all the words between the mother and the child was moved. He shed his happy tears. “It turns out that I have been less grateful to God,” her down.
