Forgive Me My Wife

Put the paper bag in his hand on the dining table. Bik Yati immediately brought beautiful porcelain plates in white combined with gold color.
Viona opened the menu one by one and poured it on the plate. There are honey grilled shrimp, roasted duck, fish fillet dori spicy sour sauce as well as some vegetable menu, not to forget Viona also warmed the oxtail soup brought by her mother, which was also very popular, pour it into a few small bowls then arrange it on the table with other menus.
Occasionally Viona stole a glance using the corner of her eyes towards the middle room where Bima, Nara and her mother were sitting together. A smile on his back when he saw his mother talking friendly and familiar with her ex-husband, a sigh of relief also sounded long, gurgling, at least his mother did not show hostility like his father when he met face to face with Bima.
“Everything is ready. Let's eat first, mumpung still warm,” exclaimed Viona from the dining room.
“Come Bim. We eat first, later continue to talk,” invite Rima.
“Iya Bu.” Bima nodded happily, because Rima treated her the same as before when her status was still Viona's husband. His determination to have his little family again is now getting stronger, no matter how great the obstacles that must be passed.
Everyone went to the dining room. Viona pulled a chair for Nara and asked her down from Bima's lap. However, as usual, the boy would whine and would not come down from his father's lap if they met.
“You're with Dad sitting.” Nara's lips began to thaw, her chest was also blooming with eyeballs glazed by tears.
“And I want to eat, baby. Come on, sit here aja, Deket Mommy,” persuade Viona softly.
“Nothing, Mother. Are we kangen-kenan again, right? Daddy's bribe want?” Bima slightly stroked Viona's arm giving a sign to let Nara stay on her lap.
“Mau.” The boy nodded while rubbing the tip of his eye using the back of his hand.
Nara eats so eagerly without fussing through the food, whatever Bima scoops, Nara will devour it and chew it with joy.
Finished their meal praying Isiah together with Bima as his priest. There is an unusual taste in the heart of Rima, the sense of haru is also proud because Bima was able to get out of the trap of the illegal goods and try to become a better human being. In the past, the look in Bima's eyes often radiated anxiety, and now it looks sad covered in regret.
Afterwards they talked together until it was time for Nara to sleep. Like last time, the boy whined and held back his father's return, asking to be accompanied to sleep.
Bima is currently in Nara's room reading a fairy tale book before bed, a legendary classic fairy tale of Disney princesses who are always in demand by children of all time.
The interaction between Bima, Nara and Viona has not escaped the observation of Rima, especially Nara. With Juna, Nara did seem very comfortable until the boy called Juna as Papi. However, when with Bima, Nara is not only comfortable, but also there is an attachment that is difficult to explain and needs each other. He also caught a twinkle of love from his daughter's eyes for Bima, a twinkle that for the past four years has never come to the surface even with Juna.
