Widow of Two Children in Pinang Bujang
The Part 14

Airport.one place that can be said never deserted. Some come and some go. When the blue sky slowly turned orange, it was time for Rahma and her two children to let go of Hendra.

The sight of Kiara and Maura having to part with their father touched Rahma's heart. The two children hugged Hendra tightly, kissed his cheeks and advised the father to return home soon.

“Father be careful on the road yes father, return not long..” said Maura.

“Yes father, may father be safe until destination.” Connect Kiara. The two once again embraced their father.

Hendra tightly returned the child's embrace. “Iya son. Thanks yeah. Brother equally adek do not be naughty should massage with mother.”

“Iya dad..” answer both compact.

“Mas go first, drive carefully.” Hendra turned to his wife.

Rahma nodded and grabbed the man's hand then kissed him. “Iya.” Answer's short.

Hendra turned his body and slowly stepped away leaving his son and wife. Every now and then the man waved his hand as a farewell greeting.

“Dadah ayahh...” Kiara and Maura continued to wave even though the father had walked away. Before entering into the area of Hendra Airport once again turned over and returned the hand of his children.

At times like this, Rahma can only resign to circumstances. Heartache feels increased when it must be faced with the fact that the departure of the husband is not just because of work.

Sighing long breaths try to reduce tightness in the chest. Rahma led her two children back into the car and left the airport courtyard.

The wheels of the car that kept turning on the paved road finally drove them home. A tired body makes both children immediately fall asleep shortly after finishing the bath.

Now replace Rahma who cleans up. Under the shower she stood up, her mind again remembered the moment between her husband and her two children earlier.

The separation was still able to be as comfortable as his two daughters because he knew the father would not go long and would return home. But if Rahma chooses divorce, of course, separation will feel clearly different for both of them. I don't know how long they'll see their father.

Rahma's tears flowed in between the water splashing, a soft sobbing began to be heard from her mouth. In the confusion that struck, finally Rahma chose to suppress the existing ego.

Trying to survive for the sake of the child by giving her husband a chance. But in my heart there is no intention to talk about it to Hendra.

\~*\~*\~*\~*\~

“How about mas? Has Rahma forgiven you?” Lia changed her position to lie down facing Hendra.

“But.” Replied Hendra while sighing.

The two were silent for a long time, focused on their respective minds. Think about how to get this problem to a quick solution. “Mas..”.

“Already Lia, for now let everything go properly. Don't be too pushy, I'll keep trying and fighting until anytime.” Hendra decided to end the conversation.

“I slept first.” He continued, turning his back on Lia.

Both of Lia's brows furrowed in wonder, she was astonished by Hendra's attitude. During the new marriage this time her husband slept by turning his back on her. But he chose silence and closed his eyes.

Feeling that Lia was asleep, Hendra got out of bed and stepped out. The brain that keeps thinking even though the eyes are closed makes it tired. At the door of the child's room, Naira is seen sleeping soundly in her baby bed.

“Sorry father yes son..” on his trunk soft cheeks the child. There is a feeling of guilt seeing the innocent face of Naira, because she has to ignore her youngest child a little.

The focus of his mind is on Rahma and her other two children, so he can not invite to play or interact with this ball.

“What should I do Nai? If you have to choose, which should you choose? Mother Rahma or mamah you Lia?” Curse Hendra in the middle of the silence of the night.

He didn't know who to tell for the sake of getting a little enlightenment or maybe even advice on what he should do. Tell a story to a friend? No way, because Hendra didn't want them to know about his second marriage. To her parents? Nor is it possible. they will definitely answer “any decision you take, as long as you are happy father and mother would support.”

Hendra stayed in the child's room for a long time before deciding to go back into his room. Riding on the bed slowly so as not to disturb Lia, he returned to lay down his body and tried to close his eyes.

“One room sleep? One bed?”

His eyes had just closed, but Rahma's words suddenly crossed his mind. Even the look on his face and tone of voice was clearly reflected.

Hendra looked to the side. “Sorry Lia.” He said softly and turned back to his wife.
