WHY LOVE
S2 - The Future

Bali

The atmosphere of Ngurah Rai Airport this afternoon is crowded with the arrival and return of local and foreign tourists. Even though it is now Sunday, the international airport has never been quiet. Because the island of Bali has always been a destination that attracts tourists. Not only for vacation, but also become a business destination as well as political activities.

Anita gets out of the car with Naura who is carefree holding her beloved Panda doll. How not, since last night Naura has made a video call with Oma and Opanya to notify that tomorrow (today) will fly to Jakarta. He also made a video call with Om and his aunt because of kangen with Amanda in addition to informing him about going back to Jakarta.

"Don't go inside, Mr. Anwar. Let me take the suitcase." Anita prevents the driver and his trusted person who is loyal to maintain and care for his home.

"Stab home, sir. I would probably rarely go to Bali unless there was something urgent."

"Good, non Anita. Good luck to Jakarta."

Anita muttered assuringly. He did not forget to slip some money into the palm of Mr. Anwar's hand while shaking hands.

"Naura, don't stay away from Mami. Separated later..." Anita reminded Naura who could not sit in the waiting room, instead prancing around.

Naura's movements suddenly stopped. Matanyan perfectly rounded with a wide smile, revealing a row of his white teeth well preserved even though his two toothless front were torn out.

"Mommy, that...." Naura pointed towards a mother who was holding a baby. "That's Alif, Mommy...."

Anita followed the child's index finger with a frown. "really?" He doubted. Because the one who holds the baby while on the beach is the adult man who he suspects the father of the baby.

"Naura!" He was forced to follow the child who ran towards the end of the chair that allegedly was Alif.

"Grandpa Alif!" Naura exclaimed in excitement in front of the plump baby who was also looking at her.

The mother holding the baby looked surprised and raised both eyebrows.

"I'm sorry my son, ma'am. He thinks it's Alif." Anita grimaced looking unwell.

"But it's true, it's Alif." The mother answered kindly.

"It's Mami, Naura really...." The boy pranced in front of the alif while playing his puppet. The adorable baby looked to be laughing and screaming happily.

Anita curled her lips. "Sorry, Alif's grandmother's mother?"

"Two days ago, my son met Alif with his father at the beach." Clearly because he saw the mother who looked at him full of investigation.

It was the mother's turn that rounded her lips. "I'm Alif's nanny, ma'am. This is Alif's father at a jewelry show on vacation."

"Hi, Naura huh?!"

Anita turned her back to hear the sound of a male baritone greeting her son. But it turns out that Naura first ran over to the man who was wearing sunglasses.

"Of..." Naura kissed the back of her hand.

"Son of solha..." The man smiled and rubbed the top of Naura's head.

Anita stared at the interaction of Naura and the handsome man. Yes, he only realized that the man who had invited him to talk on the beach was dashing and handsome. Especially with sunglasses perched on his nose, adding macho appearance.

"Mbak--"

Anita blinked.

"Where are you going?"

"To Jakarta, Om." Naura who nimblely replied. "Naura and Mami want to move to Oma's house. Naura wants to go to school in Jakarta." Followed with sparkling eyes.

The man nodded.

"Kirain in Bali again holiday. I live in Bali."

"Yes Om, Naura lives Jimbaran. But now I want to move to Jakarta." Again the child who answered without looking at him because he was swinging the hands of baby Alif.

"Where are you going?" This time Naura looked up at the proportional body figure standing in front of her.

"Om back to the field."

"Yaaah, Om to Jakarta.later Naura can play with Alif. Yes, um...?!"

"Naura...." Anita reprimanded while shaking her head.

The man chuckled as he rubbed the little girl's bangs. "If there is a soul mate.we will see you again yes, sweet child."

"What's a fool, Om?" Naura frowned at him not understanding.

"Eh, what yes..." The man looked at Anita as if asking for help to explain.

"I mean Om, hopefully one day I'll see you again."

"Excuse me, we're ahead..." Anita nodded her head before leaving, as soon as the announcement of the call for passengers on the plane to Jakarta.

"Just a second!"

Anita stopped her steps and frowned.

"I'm Rafa." The man clenched both hands in front of his chest.

"Anita."

The announcement of the flight to Jakarta was heard again. Anita rushes to leave Rafa still in place because Naura keeps turning around waving her hands.

****

Jakarta

The shoulder-haired woman was pensively held onto a piece of paper in her hand. The lawyer had just left his room handing over the paper. Divorce deed paper. It only took a month, she is now officially a widow.

It was inconceivable that his life journey would reach this phase. But he is not not fighting. It was hard for him to fight for the ark to continue sailing but eventually had to ship.

Her mind is still in the mode of exploring the flashbacks of her life journey with Jimmy who is now her ex-husband. The only feeling left for him was pity. I don't know what his job is now. Which usually sits sweet, point it here.

"Mommy why isn't Papi coming?"

Naura's question while on the plane was able to muffle with the answer "Fire is busy, dear."

But as time went on, changing days, Naura again asked with curiosity.

"Mommy, Papi's still busy huh?"

And Anita has to rack her brain to give an answer. Answers that a child of his age should understand.

"Naura if you choose, would you stay with Mami or Papi?"

"Because it turns out Papi can not live in Jakarta. Papi wants to stay in Bali."

"Mommy dong...."

It turns out that there are benefits also if the relationship between father and son during this time mediocre. Anita always protests if Jimmy goes home late in the morning until he does not meet with Naura because the child is asleep. But now, the child chose it because the relationship between mother and child is so close

The wandering mind had to be attracted again to his axis as he felt his shoulders being shaken.

"Mbak-"

"Mbak Nita...hey."

Anita was aghast as soon as she heard Nico's voice accompanied by another shock on her shoulder. The paper he was holding had changed hands. Nico read it carefully.

"Bak saddened by this intelligence?" Nico kept the paper he held onto the table.

Anita shakes. "Not sad. But just pity. Papi Naura now what's his job? It's common in the comfort zone." He breathed a long breath.

"Don't think of someone like that." Nico nodded in disagreement. "Think of the future with Naura. Life must go on."

Nico pulled out a chair to sit closer to Anita. He looked at his brother with a serious face.

"Mbak is young. I just need to order, if you want to get married again find a father who is sincerely affectionate with Naura."

Anita hits Nico's arm using the map on the table with bulging eyes.

"I'm not getting married again. Focus on taking care of Naura."

"Yakiiin.....? Time will answer." Nico raises his eyebrows teasing the older brother.

Anita rolled her eyeballs. Same with his sister. This time he clapped Nico's arm with a ruler.

The atmosphere of Nico's workspace that Anita will later take over becomes warm with the laughter of the brothers.

"Sir, if you have mastered the management of the company, I want to resign." Nico is back seriously.

"I want to focus on taking care of the company in Bandung."

"Patience first. I haven't reviewed the factory. There's a lot I have to learn about the garment world."

"Ok. 2 weeks must be proficient yes!" Challenge Nico firmly.

"Deal."
