"Ziko"
Zidan's voice was heard making Ziko look up then smile and as soon as the middle-aged man approached he shifted his place slightly to sit down so that Zidan could sit beside him. After sitting next to Zidan embracing his son affectionately and patting his shoulders softly.
Actually Ziko was confused and wanted to ask, but she kept quiet while waiting until Zidan spoke to her. It didn't take long for Zidan to put his hands away and look at the boy with a smile.
Soon Ziko will decide to get married and it is of course very happy for her even though she always asks Ziko to think back. It was not because of disbelief or disapproval of Devina, but Zidan was only afraid that Ziko was too hasty.
"You look a lot like Papa." Zidan said
"I'm Papa's son." Ziko said with a small laugh
"Hm you're Papa's son, do you want to know Ziko? Papa was married while he was in college." Said Zidan who managed to make his son surprised instead of playing
"Papa? Really true?" Ziko did not believe it
"Hm Papa got married when we were in college in the fourth semester and yes the same with you Papa's parents were also against it because they thought we were still quite young, but Papa is quite stubborn like you," Zidan said making Ziko smile hearing him.
"Look at you now making Papa, so remember when Papa married your Mama." Said Zidan again
"Papa must really love Mama huh?" Ziko
"Yes Papa loves Mama so much that even marrying your Mama is a very grateful thing Papa, even though Papa almost lost you and Mama you used to." Zidan said
Of course Ziko knew what Papa meant.
The incident where Nazwa caught her husband cheating on her and made her take Ziko away from home and sue for divorce even though she eventually dropped the lawsuit again.
"At that time Papa did not think far and Papa did not understand why to do it? Betraying Mama is something Papa never wanted to do" Zidan said quietly.
His eyes glared considering the events of the past when his marriage was almost destroyed.
'I want Ziko's divorce and custody to be in my hands! Just spend your time with a woman who doesn't know herself!'
Zidan had almost lost the most precious thing in his life, but it was fortunate that he could keep it again.
"When Mama found out and took you away Papa was very scared especially when Mama returned with a divorce letter, that day was the worst day of Papa's life." Zidan said Ziko was staring at him
"It's all gone, Pa." Ziko
"Papa was really afraid of losing until every day came to Mama's house to beg her and her parents to forgive Papa and then withdraw the divorce suit,"
The sigh was heard even just by remembering it Zidan felt tight.
"Losing the trust of your loved ones is tantamount to losing her love for Ziko because even though Mama forgave that time it took a very long time to make her really love Papa again." Zidan said
"Papa loves Mama It was just a mistake." Ziko
"Yes Papa loves Mama you very much, so Ziko don't repeat the same thing as Papa." Zidan said
"It won't be Pa." Ziko said with complete confidence
Zidan smiled and patted his shoulder gently.
"Today you don't have any activities?" Ask Zidan
"There's no Pa." Ziko
"When you tell Papa about the wedding preparations, where are you going?" Ask Zidan
Ziko nodded obediently then told Zidan about everything he had prepared.
It is not usual for Ziko to sit and talk with Zidan for a long time.

'Ma let Papa talk'
Zidan had been following Nazwa for a long time and did not care even though his hands were jerked many times and the sharp look his wife gave him. It has been a week since Nazwa brought Ziko back to his parents' house and it has been two days that Zidan received a divorce letter from his wife.
His world is a complete mess Zidan no longer knows what way he should apologize, he does not want to lose his wife and child. It was all his fault, but he hoped there was still one more chance for him.
"Go and never see me again!" Nazwa said angrily that she even pushed her husband's body
"Ma listen to Papa first..."
"Listen to what else?! An explanation of you making fun of another woman in front of my own eyes!" Nazwa said angry
Zidan did not give a plea he just looked at the wife with a face of compassion, but Nazwa did not care that she was really hurt because of her husband.
"Darling.."
"Never call me that again!" Nazwa said with great emphasis
"Ma we talk? For Ziko's sake let's talk about it, he's still very small." Zidan said slowly
"If you knew you shouldn't have done that to me! You should think of me and our son!" Nazwa said with reddened eyes
"Ma I'm sorry Papa we're talking all right and withdraw the divorce lawsuit, huh?" Zidan's words made Nazwa smile cynically hearing that
"Removing lawsuit? It will never! I'm getting a divorce!" Nazwa
Zidan would only speak until their son's voice was heard and he saw Ziko running towards him and hugging tightly.
"Rapa"
"Ziko kangen Papa is Papa still busy? Mama said Papa's been busy." Ziko
"Hm Papa is still busy, but soon to be done later Mama and Ziko go home huh?" Zidan said
Ziko's spirit nodded, but soon after Nazwa asked her to come closer to him.
"Go home I'm not going to drop the divorce." Nazwa
"But, Ziko she's..."
"Let that be my business! You better take care of that woman!" Nazwa said angry
Staring at her parents alternately, Ziko looked confused, but still followed the footsteps of her mother who brought her into the room. Once inside and locked the door Nazwa could hear the knocking and the voice of the husband calling his name.
Sitting on the floor leaning against Nazwa's bedrock closed his eyes until he didn't realize he was crying.
Ziko looked at him, but she did not understand anything and instead asked about the thing that made Nazwa sob.
"Mom why lock the door? Papa's outside coming in." Ziko
But, when the boy saw his Mama crying he approached making Nazwa look at him with tears on his cheeks.
"Ziko, if Ziko is only living together with Mama, how?" Ask Nazwa slowly
Ziko put on her sad face.
"No way." Ziko
Nazwa cried again when he heard it and it made Ziko just silent while continuing to stare in confusion.
He doesn't understand what's going on.

Ziko smiled as the memories came back and looked at the photo of Devina at her desk. One of the things why she was so guarded about Devina's feelings was because she didn't want to see the person she loved crying.
She used to see for herself how much her Mama hurt to cry every night and because of that Ziko always kept a woman's feelings. Hence when Adyra or Tiara had approached him first he had never once been rude.
She doesn't want to make a woman cry because it reminds her of her Mama.
Sighing slowly, Ziko grabbed her phone and called Devina and waited for an answer. Twice calling Devina just picked it up.
"Why did you pick up Vina?" Ask Ziko
'Out of the same snacks Vano'
"What snack is hm?" Ask Ziko
'Buy burger sama boba'
"Now still out?" Ask Ziko
'Em not at home, why?'
"It's a shame I'm bored at home." Ziko
'Main games there'
"You don't want to be angry anymore." Ziko made Devina laugh when she heard it
He used to play games to ignore Devina and make the girl angry and sulking at him.
'What if Ziko wants?'
"You want to call you, don't you?" Ask Ziko
'No papa Vina likes Ziko's phone'
Ziko smiled hearing that, she missed Devina now.
"Vina I miss." Ziko
'Ish just met again'
"You keep kangen up." Ziko
'Yes Vina kan ngangenin'
"Say you want to see your friends in college." Ziko
'Tomorrow now lazy'
"What do you want now?" Ask Ziko
'Phone with her future husband Vina'
Ziko fell silent with a smile that expands perfectly, it feels impatient to eliminate the word candidate there.
