A ROSE FOR MOM

A ROSE FOR MOM 11

Getting out of the hospital Aryo kept thinking. To the polyclinic what if Arum really medicated? Many polyclinics with treatment for certain diseases . Does Arum have a disease? Maybe just a regular pain. Or should he say that he's on a general poly? Then Aryo turned his body around, telling the information that his best friend was in a public polyclinic.

"His name?"

"Arum.. Arumiris.."

"Alamat ?"

Aryo was confused, finally mentioned his home address."

"Jl. Amarta no 94's.

"When did he check?"

"About four or five days ago."

Aryo waited, some time. Heart's pounding. But the statement from the officer greatly disappointed him.

"Sir, there are three dates I'm looking for, but I didn't find them."

"Oh, is that right sir?" aryo replied weakly.

Aryo actually got out of there, then headed home. 

"Means Rini lied !! basic female eyes duitan !" he said on his way home.

Then it occurred to him that maybe his wife had a painter? Then he checked into the internal medicine..  Then he shook off that feeling. He believes Arum does not have a serious illness. His wife was always healthy, never complaining about any illness she felt.  And still he considered that Rini had lied.

Arriving at home, with his heart still chaotic, Aryo changed his official clothes and went straight to the office.

***

"Wuri, isn't there a job for me yet?" whinek Rini to Wuri while they are relaxing at home.

"Not yet, if there is for sure you I tell."

"Today, the debt is thinning."

"Eat him do not waste. Money is used if necessary."

"Sadly, I owe you the same."

"Nothing, don't think. If you need money, it's better to pay off debt, than extort people."

"Oh, you're a bitch?"

"It's not crazy, it's your habit, I'm just reminded. That's not good you do."

Rini pensive. All this time he lived enough because he got a decent salary from the Aryo family. The money was whole because of all sorts of toothpaste brush soap and eating, Ms. Arum had enough of it. Only clothes he bought himself. But after no longer working there, Rini was confused because over time the savings must have run out.

"The job is not choosy, which is important halal," continued Wuri.

"Can I help you in the hospital? It means helping you. I don't ask for a salary, only if I'm lonely at home. "

"Tomorrow I ask my boss, can anyone help without asking for a salary."

"I think it's important that I have a busy life."

"Alright, if there is no job vacancy. It's just that I asked someone to help me, I don't know. I hope it can."

It was a bit heavy actually, working without a paycheck, but that was all Rini could do, rather than the thought of slithering everywhere.

*** 

It has been two months that Arum has been living with the Suryo family. Treated very well by Suryo ma'am as to his own son. The softness of Arum's heart and the pain he suffered, made Suryo ma'am feel very sorry. There must be someone who is always close to him, loving him, so that Arum feels comforted even though the feeling of regret for his child can not be contained. Moreover, Yu Siti treated him tirelessly. The night before going to bed, Yu Siti stomped her feet, even though she did not do much activity at home. You can only clean your own room. Clean up the whole house Siti's mom did

"What is Angga, is after his mother is not there then Rini always spoil him as usual? Let alone the opposite, because Rini only attention to her father Angga." complained Arum one night.

The memory of Rini makes all her wishes to meet her son. It would have hurt if he had come home and seen Rini still there. But if not Rini, who else can serve Angga, stop his crying, even comfort him when Angga misses his mother? Arum shed tears.

Lately Arum feels his body is getting weaker. Whether what disease he suffered, Suryo's mom who diligently checked Arum to the doctor did not want to say it. Though he knew one day, the doctor wanted to talk to Suryo's mom, alone without her. 

"What did Doctor Ma say?" asked Arum at the time.

"It's okay, the doctor just said that you have to rest a lot and take the medicine diligently."

Arum said that if Suryo took him to the hospital, told him to check his blood, and urine, and the last time he had a CT scan. But the result he never knew. Arum has resigned. She feels well, but Suryo's mom always asks her for control. Especially after she had heavy bleeding, and it wasn't menstruation.

But when it was bu Suryo saying that it happened because Arum had a lot of thoughts.

That day while resting in her room, suddenly Yu Siti came, bringing her fresh orange juice.

"Why did Ms Siti bother to bring this to the room? I can go out and have a drink at the dinner table."

"Mom told Nak, because it seems that son Arum is tired."

"No ma'am, Arum didn't do a-a-what, how could he be tired?"

Yu Siti .. for some reason.like feeling the closeness between herself and Arum. Because the mole near the navel is the cause? I don't know, but his attention to Arum has become very excessive. He still hoped that Arum was his flesh and blood.

"Have it, don't argue, the mother will do all this for the good of son Arum. So come on drink it now. A lot of eating and drinking nutritious food is necessary."

Arum smiled. Sipped juice given by Yu Siti little by little, until it runs out.

"I miss my mother. Two months more I didn't give it up."

"Then visit ibn nak, I'm sure his mother nak Arum must also miss nak Arum."

"Actually I was afraid that my mother would tell Aryo where I was."

"Why Arum?" suddenly Suryo's mom is already in Arum's room.

"Yes Ma'am, Arum doesn't want to see Aryo anymore."

"If Angga? You don't care about your son?"

"He is with Rini Bu, Arum has not been able to remove Arum's heart injury, especially if he sees the woman."

"Alright, but your desire to meet your mother must be done immediately. Poor thing, he must be sad not to know where you are. If you don't want your husband to find out, just tell mom, don't tell her about yourself to him."

"All right, ma'am."

"Let Pono drive you tomorrow morning."

"Thank you mom."

"Yu Siti, prepare lunch, have we eaten, right? Lagian Arum should take her medicine after eating."

"Siti has prepared at the table to eat ma'am, all the medicine nak Arum that must be taken this afternoon."

"Alright, Arum, let's eat."

***

"Since Nastiti's mom was at home, Aryo always had lunch at home. Unless Angga prefers to have lunch with his father, there is Ratih who accompanies him to eat, and who is always forced by Angga to sit beside him. It was as if there was really a wife accompanying him. Is Aryo also like Angga able to consider Ratih as part of his life? 

"Hopefully not" she whispered slowly. But the whisper was held by Ratih and also Nastiti's mother.

"What may not Yo?" ask Miss Nastiti.

"Oh, uh.. Aryo said what?" answer's surprised. The whisper was thrown away when his head was filled with shadows that were not what he really expected.

"You said, I hope not.. Again, what's wrong?"

"Oh, yes, my goodness.it's a matter of unfinished work Aryo did. Ma'af ya."

"Father, tomorrow is Sunday, said mother tomorrow one day off," said Angga interjected.

"Oh, that's right."

"May we go out with mom tomorrow?"

"Mm.. like this Angga, tomorrow I want to rest, he said tired."

"Mother mother?"

Train nodded with a smile. He knew Aryo was giving him time to take care of his father.

"So let's rest tomorrow. Look, Angga remembers Martono's eyes, right? They miss the same Angga. So we're going there tomorrow."

"Well, that's mom's mother. I'm coming with dong."

Waduh, Aryo is silent now. His words instead gave bait to Angga to keep taking Ratih with him.

"But.didn't mom get tired?"

"Mother is his son. Yeah, I gotta go with dong."

Train the head bobbles.Bu Nastiti was speechless. True, when I want to meet his mother will even stay at home. What other reasons can be said for Angga to let Ratih rest?

"Well, it's okay for me to come along." suddenly said Ratih.

Miss Nastiti and Aryo were relieved.

***

"Aryo, you haven't said, how did it go when you went to the hospital looking for information about your wife?" said Miss Nastiti that night.

"Oh yes ma'am, Aryo forgot to say it. No one met ma'am, no one was on medication in the polyclinic called Arumsari.

"really?"

"Rini's a liar ma'am. People like that have that good thing. He just needs money."

"Where did Arum go Yo. Be angry with her husband, but love her son. "

"That's what Aryo thought too. She didn't want to come back for her son."

"Don't he think Rini's still here so he won't come home."

"Is that so ?"

"Maybe."

"Had he been able to communicate, he would have known that Aryo had kicked Rini out that night."

"How to communicate, just connect."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Aryo came out to see who was coming.

"Good night, greet a big tall man that Aryo has never known before.

"Good night, who are you looking for, sir?"

"Here is Arumsari's mother's house?" 

Aryo surprised.

"Yes right, what's wrong?"

I found this bag, there are business cards and resident cards in the name of Arumsari's mother."

Aryo received the bag tremblingly. It's been two months since Arum left, then this bag was found and just given? The handbag he had been carrying when he left, now looked dirty and damp.

"When did you find this, and where?

"I found out just yesterday, by the road. A little outside the city. The bag is dirty, no, it's probably raining and sludge."

Aryo opened the bag, there was a wallet inside, which when opened was no contents. 

"I opened it, and read the Citizen's Sign Card inside. The rest I don't know."

"All right, thank you very much."

"I took a taxi here because I couldn't find an address on foot."

Aryo understood what was meant, took the money of one hundred thousand from the house and gave it.

"Thank you sir."

"Thank you back."

Aryo brought in his old wife's bag.

Open again the contents in the bag, only ID card and purchase notes are not important.

"It must have been drained by the person who found it, then threw the bag carelessly," said Ms. Nastiti.

"True Bu, where the discovery of this bag is also no longer able to be made recklessly where Arum went, because maybe the inventor threw it in any place.

"Yes aampuun. Go without bringing any supplies. What happened," lamented Nastiti sadly.

***

"Arum, are you going to see your mother today?" ask Suryo's mom that morning.

"Yes ma'am, is that okay?"

"No boy, of course I can, it's important to you. It's a pity that your mother thinks of you later."

"Well ma'am, Arum will get ready now" Arum said and entered his room. 

"Yu Sitiii," call Suryo's mom.

"Yes mom.."

"Have Pono prepare the car, he'll drive Arum to his mother's house."

"All right, ma'am."

Actually stamped yu Siti's desire to come, but undone, because this morning Bu Suryo had given her orders for shopping and cooking.

"My mother is ready."

Yu Siti was calling Pono to prepare her car. See you later my greetings to my mother huh? Don't be angry with the daughter I took as my son too" Suryo said with a smile and warmly embraced Arum. This makes it very comfortable.

"Okay ma'am, surely my mother will be happy. Her daughter is cared for here lovingly."

"Truly I feel like I'm getting a kid, don't get away from me huh Rum?" said Suryo's mom with tears.

Arum hugged her, also with tears.

"I love you."

"Arum loves Mom too."

***

"Mother, this is Aryo." said Aryo when calling her mother-in-law.

"Oh yeah Aryo, you guys want to come here, right?"

"Yes Mother, but later Aryo will come also with Ratih."

"Who's Ratih? Have you got a new wife?" said Mrs Martono slightly up.

"Not Mom, Ratih was indeed his teacher Angga at school, but he considered him Arum by Angga."

"How's mungkiin? "

"Angga thought Arum was his mother, because his face was very similar to Arum."

"Times?"

"Yes mom, I'll see it for myself. Aryo could not prevent it, because with Ratih Angga like finding Arum. And Aryo was grateful that Ratih would help. Hope Arum is found soon, ma'am."

"Well, come soon, because I've been cooking for you. Your mother's coming, right?"

"Yes ma'am, I miss you too, I haven't seen you in a long time."

***

"Where to turn mbak, tell Pono before yes, because this is a one-way street, if kebablasan must go through there again" said Pono when delivering Arum.

"Yes Mas Pono, later, after the intersection, turn left, only about five meters really."

"All right."

Arum's heart is pounding. He had not seen his mother for a long time, and he had also made his mother expectantly anxious waiting for him. He really felt guilty.

The car that Pono had brought had already turned left.

"For a while, stop first," suddenly Arum said.

"here's mbak?"

"Yes, stop here first."

Arum looked ahead. He saw Aryo get off the car, then Nastiti's mom, then Angga. No, there's still one more. Arum did not blink when one leg appeared at the back door. Feet girls. His blood immediately boiled. His breath gasping for breath restrained the emotions.

"Mas Pono, just turn around."

"What?"

"We'll just go back. Hurry up Mas Pono, turn the car!!" arum said rather loudly.

***

tomorrow again yes.
