RICH MAN

RICH MAN
MOVE AWAY


That afternoon, Dimas was already preparing to pick Reynand up to school. Without telling Nagita first. Now the three of them come to Rey's school. Erlangga, Dimas' first child, was so enthusiastic that he found out they were going to pick Rey up. Viona, who is pregnant with their second child. Her age is only a few weeks. But it was the woman who asked Dimas to take Rey to school.


Linger in the car. Erlangga fell asleep until he woke up again, there was no sign. Nagita called but there was no response. Dimas desperately gets out of the car and meets Rey's homeroom teacher, Khadijah's mother.


"Rey's mom, right?" Just now Dimas wants to say hello. But Rey's homeroom teacher greeted him first.


"Yes, Mom. Rey didn't go to school?"


"Do you not know?"


Dimas scrunched his forehead. Know what? He even missed the news about his own nephew.


"What?"


"Reynand has already transferred to an international school,"


"Rey moved? Since when?"


"A month ago. She and her biological father came to school and an old mother, if I don't get the name of her Papa Mr. Azka wrong,"


"Azka?"


Khadijah's mother nodded. Dimas understood this and immediately said goodbye to his nephew's homeroom teacher. Dimas doesn't know about Rey changing schools. Nagita also said nothing to him and did not tell him about Rey who had not attended school at that place. He rubbed his face, especially now? Nagita who is so strong defend Rey, now suddenly not tell her about Rey being moved, even by Azka.


Before it was too late, Dimas went straight to the school that Rey's mother had told him about. In the car, Viona may know that she is angry. The girl said nothing until she got to school. Right, there he just got an unusual sight. Azka picks up Reynand's school. It was a very new thing for Dimas.


"Wait!"


The two people immediately looked back and Dimas approached his nephew. Azka's appearance and attitude are now more polite than ever before. Maybe it's because it's just in front of Rey. No problem for Dimas. The problem for him is why Rey is now in the man.


Don't want too much talk. "Rey let's go home to Mama's!"


"No,"


"Rey is bullied Om!"


"No. I said no to yes to no. Om always wanted to be horrified, Om never thought about how I felt,"


Dimas looked at his nephew's face. This time he did not talk to Rey. But the bad side that looks and at all Dimas does not like the behavior of his nephew. Rey is hiding behind Azka. Dimas is getting clueless about what's happening now.


"Dimas, we need to talk for a second!"


"Where?"


"At the restora near here. There's something I want to say, it's about Rey staying with me. I hope you don't mind this fact. Maybe this is my problem with Nagita, my business to take care of and educate my son Reynand. But since you are the only uncle of my son, I want to tell you something, therefore,"


Dimas doesn't understand. After Azka asked him to follow where they were going. The three of them were behind Azka's car. Viona seems worried about it, but does not ask and chooses to remain silent because there is no need to interfere with this problem.


Arrive at a restaurant. Dimas was one table with Azka, while son, wife and Rey were three in a place quite far from where they both sat. Maybe this was something very important until Azka took him further from the children.


"Azka, what do you want to talk about?"


"Don't misunderstand me and Rey. He's been living with me since a month ago, when Nagita brought him to me directly. But Dimas, please don't say anything to Nagita. It's for Teddy's house, together,"


"Why Teddy? He's got Rey so good, too,"


"Rey is stressed along with Nagita and Teddy. A few days Teddy lived in it without cause, and then Nagita told me that Teddy was ashamed of the status of Reynand the child who was present out of wedlock, in the hospital he was the one who received the scorn of others, to be honest if anyone says in front of me Rey is an illegitimate child, I'll kill her. No one can say that to him, and I beg you not to tell Nagita! I'm just telling you, my mom doesn't know about this, either,"


"Azka, you're not married yet?"


"No, Dimas. Simply educate Reynand and take good care of her now. I don't care about my own feelings,"


Dimas nodded his head in a sign that he understood what they were talking about. Azka is a former jerk. But hearing Azka's statement about wanting to educate Rey, her heart became a little compassionate with her former sister-in-law. Just this time he also did not feel emotion if he met Azka.


"Azka, Nagita came to you?"


"Yes, he just gave up Reynand's clothes and everything he needed,"


"So she's fine!"


"Dimas?" Azka raised her head which was just down when talking to him. Understand the present condition. Dimas does not want to protest with the situation Azka should bring Rey.


"I'm taking Rey home,"


Dimas agreed to that. Perhaps it is true, should not hate Azka continuously. Seeing the man's sincerity now, Dimas felt a little more sinister towards Azka. Hearing Nagita's household news from her sister's ex-husband, Dimas felt this was a very bad thing. That means Rey will still feel the loneliness as before. But now he will feel the same pain as Azka. If Nagita's relationship with Teddy was a choice so that his sister and nephew could be happy. Dimas was wrong, it made him like an older brother who could never educate Nagita.


The choice is not always right. Giving up everything to God is the best option. Sometimes we feel that our choices are right. But more of his fault. Giving all to Him is much better. Sometimes we just get carried away and get carried away by feelings and assume that the most true is very good. To think that bad is despicable. But not everything, perhaps his goodness was covered by his outrageous behavior. Now, Dimas learned a lot about appreciating. Seeing his happy nephew together with Azka. He doesn't want to interfere anymore.


"Viona, let's go home!"


His wife moved from her seat and Dimas carried Erlangga to the parking lot. Like being struck by lightning, his heart was in turmoil as soon as he heard Azka's story about the state of Nagita's household. It's impossible if the man forced to take Rey and surely her sister told me. But hearing that Nagita himself delivered the boy, Dimas did not comment much. Just regretting the attitude of Teddy who said that he had received Rey well, just dumped the child now.


*****


Nagita had prepared breakfast for Teddy before the man left for work. He had never met Teddy's cold attitude like now. Since some time ago Rey was entrusted to Azka. Teddy's attitude is still like that, eager to ask about why her husband is so? But seeing the current condition that does not allow him to not want anything with his household together with his new husband.


"Nagita, I'm leaving. Take good care of yourself and don't forget a good grave to keep the baby healthy!" Kiss landed on Nagita's forehead, and not to forget also Teddy stroked his stomach which is now getting bigger.


"Mas, can I see Rey?"


"No. Don't ever see that bastard again, Nagita,"


Like being struck by lightning, Nagita's feelings that had been trying to improve were shattered instantly after hearing Teddy's words. Every time she talked about Rey, her husband was always acting too much and she didn't like it.


"Nagita, that was. Our time in Japan. Now different again, here the child born out of wedlock is not a disgrace to his parents? I don't want to keep hearing people say about him, how does it feel to be me? Please understand Nagita!"


"What should I understand? Rey my son, my flesh and blood. I do know that Rey is indeed a child who was never wanted. Just so you know, Mom. I love him,"


"So far from now do you want to see him? You still have contact with Azka?"


"No, it's not like that. I called her sister, I'm meeting Rey,"


"Whatever. Just so you don't meet your ex-husband, I don't want to,"


Teddy just came out with mounting anger. Nagita is tired of her husband constantly fighting over the status of Reynand, her son. In the past, her husband was willing to pick up Rey if she had a school holiday. This time it was different. Never mind picking up, every time the child was discussed, the two of them would have a big fight like that.


Nagita doesn't care about Teddy's ban. He wanted to go there because he missed his son. In the car she cried because of her husband's excessive attitude.


In the corner of the restaurant where Nagita and Naura promised to meet. There he looked out the window, there was no sign of the man he was waiting for. The vehicle passed there. And there is also a scavenger who is so happy when given a used cardboard by the owner of the restaurant where Nagita visited. There are still many ways to give to others, not necessarily by giving money. Maybe giving useful things is enough. But the smile expands when the restaurant owner gives the money and no one knows what the nominal is, because it is covered and the money is folded or maybe squeezed to make it invisible. Giving should not be seen by others. Giving sometimes has to be stealthy, as the owner of the restaurant does.


"Mama!"


Nagita immediately turned her eyes away after her son called. It didn't take long for the boy to run up to her and hug her very tightly. Nagita is happy to meet Rey there. I had to wait a few hours because my son was in school. Nagita was deliberately leaving early so as not to make them wait later.


"Mama how are you?"


"Good mom, how's Rey?"


"I'm good too, Ma,"


"Leo, Clara, how are you?"


"Good, aunt,"


"Nagita, you're more beautiful,"


"Thank you Naura,"


They talked a long time about Reynand's education. Naura has told him that Rey was transferred to an international school where there is Leo's place of school as well. Nagita made no comment on that. Because Azka's right moved Rey. Given that the child lives together with her ex-husband.


Talked so long that Rey cut them off. "Ma, it's Papa." He said while pointing at the person who was a few meters away from their seat.


Nagita narrowed her eyes when she saw Teddy embracing a woman who might still be like a student, or maybe a nurse who worked in the hospital the same as herself.


Nagita stood up from her seat. Naura who wanted to ban was defeated by Nagita who first put away Naura's hand. His household that was always fine first is now being tested.


"Your wife isn't pregnant?"


"Yes she's pregnant, sucks indeed. Lately he's changed, I'm always wrong in his eyes. I just wanted her son not in my house anymore. He's exaggerating the problem,"


"You should know the risk of marrying a widow, Teddy. You can't be so selfish,"


"Yes, if the widow is well. But things are different, his son is like that,"


"But every time you take it to the hospital, the kid is good. Where's the fault?"


"I just don't like it, I'm embarrassed. You know I don't like people calling it, it's your stepdaughter Teddy. The son of a famous businessman? Always so dear,"


The darling? Nagita held herself back from hearing the two men's words.


"You choose me or Nagita?"


"Don't say that. You love me?"


"Of course,"


"You want to be second? I'll put you first, baby,"


"How's Nagita?"


"He can take care of it later,"


Nagita tried to hold back her tears from coming out. I couldn't see her husband making out with other women.


"Teddy!"


Her husband immediately looked. "Na-Nagita? Why are you here?"


"Why do you hold hands and embrace him? Your wife is here,"


"I-I can explain, Nagita!"


"What can be explained? You want to get married again, right? Do, Teddy. I'm not banning you,"


"This lady is not what you see,"


"What I hear is the same as what happened. Unless what I hear from others and the reality is different, then I don't believe it. But this is all real, Teddy. You betrayed our marriage,"


"Nagita, I love you, too,"


Teddy who had wanted to hug, was immediately pushed by Nagita. Naura said nothing there. Just silence does not want to interfere which actually aggravates the situation. Nagita just walked out of the restaurant. Naura immediately paid for her food and invited her children to pursue Nagita. Teddy is also worried about Nagita being pregnant driving alone.
