The Former
WHAT'S UP WITH HIM

My body that was still lying down after being drawn blood was approximately 450cc (the size of the largest blood bag) felt very weak. My energy is drained. Indri and Dimas who had been accompanying me, smiled to see me after donating blood.

"Drink a lot, yes. Eat the same fruit cake. Let the spit recover. Let your energy come back again. Don't faint, there's a pain in my face" said Dimas, who made me smile wryly.

"Whatever Lo Dim, what the hell to say," I said flatly.

Dimas laughed at me. Rubbing my bangs and pinching my cheeks. He also cut apples for me. While Indri just smiled looking at me and Dimas.

"You're funny. Temenan, the chemistry is so good. May the friendship last. Don't be te-te-em but," Indri said.

Dimas and I looked at each other to hear Indri's teasing. After a long time of gawking, Dimas and I laughed. We were like this when we met. A long time ago, a lot of people thought we were lovers. Until Nayla who was still dating was not Dimas' wife, had thought that We were playing behind him. Nayla didn't know me at the time. The jealousy is so great, that quarrels after quarrels occur in between. Thankful now that Nayla and I are good friends.

"Yes, Dim. Sya. I went to the police office first. I'd like to immediately revoke Vino's report. You see, I still have to keep Rey here, she wants surgery" he said.

"Gue anter huh, Ndri?" dimas said.

"No need. Lo temenin Tasya aja," said Indri refused.

"Yes, In. Yes carefully. Thank you," I said as I placed my palms in front of my chest, a sign of gratitude to Indri who wanted to revoke the report for Vino.

I smile. It feels good, haru is mixed happy. Vino will be free soon. Vino will be back home. His presence will definitely be the spirit of Maya.

'I can't wait to get Vino. Then immediately pick up Maya with Vino at school. This happy surprise must have made Maya happy. I can't wait to see a beautiful smile from Maya, ' my mind is smiling.

"Don't smile yourself. Share it again if you want to. A sad turn just throw here and there," said Dimas throwing me with orange peel that he was peeling.

"Olderly, still ... aja rese!" sorry pissed.

After I thought my body was recovering. Dimas and I went straight to the police station to pick up Vino. Coincidentally the police who handled the Vino case just gave information to Dimas, that Vino was able to go home. Actually I'm the only one who picked up Vino can also. But Dimas also had to go to the police station to take care of Vino's release papers.

"Dim, fee make Lo I've transferred to Lo account yes," I said before We separate to car park each.

"Geez, Shay. Ngapain. From the beginning I said. I want to help Lo Doang. Ikhlas Ike Sya. There is no need to use any fee-fee. Anyway, the case went to the first trial. So there is no need to give a fee to I," he said, who immediately rebuked me.

"Udah accept it. Lo pantes kok Dim dapetinya. If you still don't want to either. I love your son, Nadim. I can't refuse, because Nadim can't resist!" I said I don't want to lose.

"Foolah. By the way ... Thank you, yes." he passed by waving his hand.

I'm nodding. Smiling to see Dimas taking a fee from me. Earlier I asked Dimas and Indri to keep this a secret. I don't want Vino to find out about this. Especially Rey. Rey can't even know.

Moments after I reported myself as Vino's guarantor. The police came out with Vino who was already wearing house clothes. Face smiles. So warm. Makes me hug him. I wept, grateful for His power. The man in front of me will come home with me soon. Three days is long enough for me to be separated by distance and time.

"Alhamdulillah. I'm grateful today I can go home and get together again at home. Thanks to Bun. I know you must have been hard-earned to get me out of here" Vino said as he kissed my head.

I can't say anything. It's just the feeling I feel right now. Vino let go of his embrace. He took me to sit in the available chair. When we were sitting facing each other. Vino looked at me, worried.

"Not Yeah. I'm not papa. Maybe because of my sleep deprivation. Think you continue. No idea you're free now. Alhamdulillah right?" said lying.

"Yes already. Now we buy something yuk, Bun. Create Maya. It's two hours from school. I want a surprise for Maya, Bun. I'm very excited about it" Vino said enthusiastically.

*****

We're at Maya's school. Vino looks impatient. He repeatedly glanced at the clock in his hand. Hoping for time to turn, so that he could soon meet Maya. A small gift box with a beautiful ribbon Vino has been holding since. He can't wait to give it to Maya. Before long, a group of school children came out of his class. Vino is getting sumringah. He focused his gaze on the children who came out, until his gaze stopped at one point. Mayanist. Look Maya who walked alone towards the car that I parked. Maya did memorize I used to park where. Without me even telling you, he understood.

"Clek," the sound of the car door being opened.

Maya came in and sat down next to me. He didn't know there was a Vino inside. Vino deliberately hid by bending his head and body to be invisible to Maya. I immediately drove the car.

"Bun, I miss Daddy. In class I kept thinking about Dad. Moreover, the friends still bother me about Dad who is in prison. I'm thinking more and more of Daddy," Maya said.

I know Maya is covering up her grief. Holding back her tears so as not to get out. I was so full of seeing it. I'm so grateful that Vino is free now. It is inconceivable that Vino is still detained and gets a severe punishment. It will certainly affect the psychological Maya.

"Maya don't be sad dong. Beautiful Mother, can not look moody. If you are sad, Dad will be sad too. He said he misses Daddy. Here see Mother dear, Mother there is a surprise for you. Look in the back seat" I said, which made Maya not cry and be curious.

Vino was already sitting firmly and leisurely in the side chair by the window right behind Maya's chair. Maya looked at me in surprise, and immediately looked back at the chair.

"Assalamualaikum Maya," said Vino greeting Maya who gawked to see him.

"Dad? Daddy's here? Dad not in jail? Oh God, I am so happy. Stop Bun. The Car's waistline," Maya said hysterically.

I clap the car and stop. Maya also went out and moved to sit near Vino. I smiled at Maya's behavior. It's good to see them happy.

"Dad ... I'm kangen. Kangeeeeen. Every time you come to the police station, Mother never ngijinin me," said Maya sulking spoiled embrace Vino.

"Father is also very much the same Maya. Kangen wants to bribe the beautiful daughter of a spoiled father. You're laper, right? We had lunch together, yes" said Vino pinching Maya's nose squash.

"Yes Well. Really laper. Bener said Bu Iyem, breakfast cake even though it was full, lapernya cepet again," said Maya laughed.

I'm the one who pushed back the car, just laughed when I heard them talk.

"Oh yes, dear. Dad has something for you. As a sign of my apology for making Maya sad to think of me," said Vino thrust a small box with a ribbon to Maya.

Maya sumringah's. In a hurry he opened a small box given Vino. Beautiful and elegant pink watches have been put on. Maya looks happy. Vinonpun smiles to see Maya likes the gift.

"That's great, Dad. Thanks though. I like it" Maya said happily.

"Dad love Maya this watch is not without reason. I want you to understand. So important is time. The time we are living now or later. Since time cannot be turned back, do something meaningful. Appreciate time. Let us not regret our own actions" said Vino with a serious face.

I was slapped with Vino's words. I don't feel like my tears are just flowing. Immediately I wiped the rough tears that had already dripped. I don't want to be seen crying by Maya and Vino.
