Wife To Fernando
one hundred and thirty-five

At two o'clock in the morning, Fernando just arrived in front of his house, seen the porch lights on, while the gate in the padlock.

The man climbed up and threw his suitcase first, so he could jump, lucky that there was no hansip around.

Fernando took the spare key he always carried from his backpack.

The house looks quiet, although it still looks clean and tidy.

He groped his suitcase, heading for the room, where he hoped Rara and her daughter were fast asleep.

But hope remains hope, he did not find the two figures who had missed him so far.

He touched the bed where his wife used to lie, it was cold so cold, he sat there and looked all over the room, until his gaze was fixed on the white, empty, uninhabited crib.

Silence was only the sound of his breath being heard in his own ear.

He began to fret, did he have to lose the woman a third time?

But on the other side of his heart dismissed the prejudice, maybe his wife was visiting Sukabumi.

Not wasting time, Fernando took his car keys, he will go there right now.

His wife's longing is greater than his tiredness, he does not care for himself.

The man came out of the house, carrying back his suitcase and backpack.

He opened the gate padlock with a spare key he took in the middle room cabinet drawer.

He heats his car for a moment, while looking at photos of his daughter, funny and adorable.

After his car was ready, he pulled out his car right in front of the fence, not forgetting he came down back to lock the gate of his house.

Before leaving, he hoped that his wife would be with Umi and his son.

Somehow he did not feel tired at all, even though he had to drive from Jakarta to Sukabumi.

Perhaps a longing for his wife overcame his physical fatigue.

The travel time is shorter, because the road is low, right at dawn, the car enters the yard of umi Fatimah's house.

Not directly into the house, he prefers to go to the mosque not far from his uminya house.

After praying he met with Hendi mang, the nephew and uncle shook hands, asking each other for news.

Mang Hendi followed him home,

Umi Fatimah who just finished teaching, was surprised by the arrival of her only son, his puppet,

"You're here, why don't you bring your mummy and granddaughter, anyway?umi kangen with them, where Rara can not be contacted again, change the number does not say the same umi,"

Fernando was surprised by his common words, but tried to hide the truth.

"Yes mi, Rara change the number, she sends the same greeting anyway," he said lying.

Umi Fatimah seemed to believe in the words of her son, there was no suspicion.

"Nicholas where's mi? Not visible, "ask.

"Most bathe, get ready to go to school, umi prepare breakfast first," he said as he passed to the kitchen.

Mang Hendi offered him coffee he made in the kitchen.

"Thank you, but put it on the table first, I want to see Nicholas first, keep going after me just to go to school!"

Mang Hendi nodded in agreement.

At six o'clock in the morning, Fernando drove his son to school.

"Tante Rara is the same Rana why not come?"nicholas asks as the two are on their way to school.

Fernando who was driving glanced at him at a glance, "what are you saying that makes Daddy's wife hurt?"askalanya.

Nicholas shook his head, "our relationship is fine, even Aunt Rara drove me to church at mass yesterday" he replied.

Fernando's speechless.

"Did Aunt Rara leave the house?"ask the teenager.

Fernando sighed, "Daddy doesn't know son, there's no word from him" he replied.

Before long the car enters the school environment, Fernando follows his son.

The school suddenly broke with the arrival of two men of different ages whose faces were the same just different in height.

Fernando drove to the classroom and met some of his son's classmates, not forgetting to leave some money sheets to the class treasurer to treat Nicholas' friends.

From his son's classroom, Fernando visited the teacher's room, and introduced himself as Nicholas' father.

There were some female teachers who were young looking at him with sparkling gazes, it was common for him.

After making small talk, Fernando resigned.

Sleepiness began to attack, he needed to sleep, he immediately drove his car to the house of umi Fatimah.

It seemed like he would take a short nap to recover his strength in order to search for his wife's whereabouts.

Arriving at the house of umi Fatimah, he immediately entered the room and laid his body and closed his eyes, not until five minutes, a smooth snoring began to sound.

Fernando woke up as his phone kept ringing, with his eyes still closed, he picked up his phone without looking at who was calling him, he picked up the call.

There was a scream of a young girl calling her name while crying.

Fernando was surprised and away from his phone, he saw the screen of his phone, the name Aunt Anna there.

"Do, where are you going? Why don't you go back and forth, Aileen cries out for you, "Anna explained.

"Nando again at Sukabumi Auntie, try my video call and chat with Aileen,"

Fernando changed the video mode, looking bule face with blue eyes that glazed, the lips of the toddler was manyun, "Papa Nando why pelgi? Is Papa the same as the father who lived in Ai?"

Fernando who is still laying down, smiled faintly at Aileen's adorable behavior, "Dear, papa Nando wants to meet Nini Fatimah first a day, tomorrow papa meet Ai again huh!"

Aileen showed her little finger, "the promise of tomorrow Dateng yes, mother also nanyain papa,"

Fernando showed me his pinkie, "yes dear Ai, tomorrow papa is there! What does Ai want to bring?"

"Bawain Ai is the same mother of many chocolates, papa don't love Ain ya, Ain naughty,"

Fernando nodded then smiled waving his hand, he ended the video call.

The man sighed, so he remembered his late daughter, maybe now he was the age of Aileen, a two-month-old fetus that he believed was female, he named Strawberry.

Ah that regret tormented him, and now that his second daughter is disappearing with his wife, where now he must look.

His mind is tangled, somehow his intelligent brain suddenly difficult to think, it feels very upset, why should at a time like this?

He saw the time on his cell phone, it was past noon, long enough he fell asleep.

He decided to take a bath first, he promised his son he would pick him up.

Ten minutes passed, Fernando was ready, with a black t-shirt in khaki Chino pants.

He said goodbye to uminya who was preparing lunch with aunt Imas.

Just as Fernando's car pulled up on the side of the road near his son's school, the home bell rang.

The students left the school long enough to wait until he saw his son walking with a girl in the same school uniform.

It seemed like his son was arguing with the girl, Fernando just silently watched.

He remembered the first time in school, many girls were chasing him, apparently his son was the same.

Fernando, who was impatient, finally chose to come down to his son.

"Please Nicho, I like you, I have to believe that I really like you,"

"As much as I don't care" said Nicholas coldly.

Fernando greeted the girl named Aurelia, "now I bring Nicholas first yes, so the conversation continues tomorrow yes!"he said try to be friendly.

the face of the girl named Aurelia suddenly reddened, when greeted by an adult man with the same face as Nicholas, the girl smiled kindly and even kissed Fernando's hand.

On his way home, Nicholas complains that he is fed up with the girls chasing him.

"Non't mind son,"

"I'm worried dad, what offer to attend school in the capital still applies dad?"

"Of course,"

A smile spread across the teenager's face.
