A ROSE FOR MOM

A ROSE FOR MOM 18

Rini was surprised, taking a step back to give way to Bu Suryo to enter. He wanted to escape immediately but Suryo's mom stood in the way.

"You again? How dare you enter my son's room."

"Ma'af, just want to be able to be different," he said.

"Arum, what is he doing here?" ask Suryo's mom to Arum.

"Let her go mom, eneg see her face."

"Women are shameless." said Suryo's mom then gave way to Rini to get out of there.

Rini is quick. He did not expect Arum to think he was married to Aryo.

"Okay, how nice it would be if it was true. Stupid !! Let him take it that way," he murmured as he continued to step up.

***

He arrived at Wuri's study while smiling his own smile. It feels good to hear Arum say that she has become Aryo's wife. But he never thought. That was Arum, wasn't it? Why is Aryo home with Arum? Equally fierce and looked at him hatefully. Who her? Where is the real one? That was Arum, but how was his mother different? Rini hit her own head. 

"Why you? Why your head?" ask Wuri wonder.

"Don't ask, at most you will nag me," replied Rini as she headed to Wuri's desk, continuing what had been done.

"If your behavior is not real, yes I will certainly nag you."

"Which doesn't really mean that, I'm just investigating the truth."

"What truth?"

"There are twins."

"What do you mean?"

Rini was silent, but she was already lost.

"Oo. that..."

"That's what?"

"You're still curious about Arum's mom? You think she's a twin?"

"No, you want to know at last, right?"

"No, I don't want to know, it's none of my business."

"But this is really interesting. He thought I was already his wife, Mr. Aryo," he said with a happy smile.

"What's? Only a sane man would take you wife."

"Eeh, insult ya.."

"Finally, you're half crazy."

"Wuri, don't be so dong, have I become as despicable as anyone?"

"Just ask your own heart. How you behave, how you behave. Time is unconscious? You're crazy about people who can't possibly like you."

"Ee. lied to that. He used to like me."

"Like it because you tease him. He's just a khilaf, can't really like you."

"Eeh, it hurts your words."

"If she really likes you, you must have taken her as a wife. You've been in a long way since....."

"Tidaaak, it's not like that, I'm still a virgin, you know !! 

 "Good then."

"Look, the problem now is not that I want to do bad, I'm curious, how can there be two people who are the same, with the same position, but in different places."

"What's the same position?"

"The two were Arum's mother, his wife Pak Aryo, Angga's mother. But one at home, the other at the hospital."

"Twin maybe."

"No, I already know Arum's family. And his mother Arum who was in the hospital was different. It's not her mother that I see often in her family, Mr. Aryo."

"Yes already, I'm dizzy, my work is much more. Finish your work, because before you go home you have to be ready."

"Huh, really bad."

***

"What did he do?" suryo's mom asked as she approached Arum.

 "I don't know Mom, she came and asked, this is Ms. Arum. But I approached him and he left. Coincidentally met my mother.

"People are shameless, many times come and are expelled still come here."

"Let her go, she's gone."

"Yes anyway. Are you ready? It's all done. Pono will come to pick me up soon."

"It's Mom."

Suddenly the young doctor went inside. Bu Suryo and Arum were shocked.

"Mom Arum is ready?"

"It's the Doctor."

"I wrote this recipe, I forgot to hand it to the nurse" she said, holding out a prescription that Ms. Suryo had received.

"I'll buy it at the pharmacy, Doctor. Here the next day, pity Arum."

"Yes mom, it's okay. Don't forget the control for another week, Ms. Arum, that's the cure for a week."

"Alright Doctor," replied Arum with a smile, offsetting the smile of the doctor who was very sweet that afternoon.

"Who would you like to go home with? Coincidentally I also want to go home, can I drop off?"

"Oh, thank you very much Doctor, I picked up my driver, he's on his way here."

"Oh, good then. Congratulations, Ms. Arum, welcome home, and congratulations on your recovery.

"Thank you so much Doctor."

The doctor left Arum's room, and again left a smile on Arum's heart.  

***

Arriving at home Yu Siti has arranged Arum's room very nicely. New bed linen, new pillowcase bolster, there's a flower in a big vase located in the middle of the room table. That's a night-batch flower.

"Hmmm..."

Arum sipped his fragrance with pleasure. Nearby the flower arrangement.

"Bu Siti could buy flowers that are so fragrant and beautiful?" ask Arum to yu Siti.

"It wasn't me who bought it, son, someone sent it here not long ago."

"So did you send ?"

Arum looked again at the delicious flower arrangement that night, Oh yes, there was a card tucked there, with a red ribbon. Why didn't he see her? Maybe because it was lulled by its fragrance.

Slowly draw the card.

Happy happy days at home, hopefully soon to recover. From Bramasto"

Ouchay. Arum's heart is like flying into the air. So far has Dr. Bram's attention been on him. Does he treat all his patients like this? He kissed the flower while closing his eyes. 

"Arum, who's the flower from?" suddenly Suryo's mom appears in the room, surprising Arum.

"This, Mother.." Arum showed me the card.

Suryo's mom smiled at her.

"It seems that handsome doctor has a special concern for you."

"Special attention how is Mom?" asked Arum with a thumping heart.

"Don't let him like you. Proof he sent all the flowers."

"Maybe he did that to all his patients. He is indeed a good doctor," Arum tried to refute him.

"Cannot be. Every day there were many patients he cured, where could he buy flowers for all of them?"

Arum smiled. Yes yes.really? Inner whisper.

Yu Siti went inside while carrying a nice lunch. 

"Well, what's yu cooking? It smells so good."

"Soto chicken ma'am, there is a parchment, and a cornbasket," he said as he put the food down.

"Bu Siti, I just eat in the dining room."

"No Arum, you wash your accomplices and change your clothes, then go back to bed. You haven't recovered properly."

"Let's son, Yu Siti help, there's already warm water for a bath."

"Be careful Yu, don't let wet surgery scars get exposed to water," 

"Replace the verband, and the medicine has you prepared yet Yu?"

"It's all mom."

"Alright, be careful not to let the wound go unaddressed. And the drugs that must be taken also do not forget."

 Bu Suryo is very caring and attentive to Arum in every detail that must get attention. Arum feels that Suryo's mom treats him more than someone he's found a year ago. He felt like a real child who was filled with love. That was why he could little by little forget his suffering.

***

That afternoon, Suryo was shopping at a supermarket. There is a lot to buy for kitchen and other purposes. There is usually a Yu Siti who accompanies him, but because yu Siti is in charge of accompanying Arum, then Suryo ma'am departs alone. He was picking vegetables when suddenly someone greeted him.

"Shopping mom?" sapana.

Bu Suryo looked at who was reprimanding him. It was a bit surprising to see a handsome young man pushing a trolley containing lots of vegetables and fruits.

"Doctor Bram?" 

Doctor Bram laughed to see Bu Suryo looking at him with a slightly astonished look, looking at his wide eyes.

"Yes, Mom, it's me. You look at me like you're staring at a stranger?"

 "Give me, doctor boy...What the hell is this?"

"What's Mom?" ask Dr. Bram still with his laugh.

"Doctor's shopping for vegetables?"

"Yes, is that weird?"

"Well, why do doctors shop by themselves?"

"Mother, I always shop by myself, and cook everything myself. Understandably ma'am, I am a bachelor who does not practice."

"Why not find a wife?"

"No one wants you yet."

"Times?"

"You see for yourself, the proof is that I'm still doing everything myself."

"Don't choose too much, later become a weathered bachelor," soda bu Suryo.

Doctor Bram laughed again.

"Oh yes, my doctor, thank you very much for the flowers for Arum."

"Oh yeah, do you like Arum's mom?"

"Like it, kissed the flower endlessly."

The doctor's eyes were wide open, there was a happy hue there.

"That's right," said Suryo reassuringly.

"It's good to hear it."

"Pity him, " murmured Suryo bu lirih, while pushing the trolley towards a more spacious place for fear of obstructing other shoppers. Doctor Bram followed, apparently expecting the continuation of the words of Bu Suryo who muttered the word 'pity'

"Why pity mom?"

"The story is long."

Doctor Bram is still 

wait around.

"His husband cheated on her with her son's nurse."

Doctor Bram again widened his eyes.

"He ran away from his house, it's been a year. Reportedly her husband had married the accursed woman."

Doctor Bram sighed.

"I'm sorry, ma'am" he said. It seems that he was really sorry for the incident that happened to Arum.

"Ah, it's Nak, it's a story of sorts, later Nak doctor cook misfortune."

"No ma'am, just cook for yourself, don't have to rush."

"Or just go to my house, have lunch at my house."

"Thank you very much Mother, next time if there is free time I will come to Mother's house, and spend Mother's cooking."

"Really?"

"Promise, Mother."

"I'll wait for ya."

They split up because Suryo's mom still wants to buy some stuff.

***

"The mother had met Dr. Bram" Suryo told Arum after putting all the groceries in the kitchen.

"Oh yeah? Where's?"

"In the mall, she's shopping again."

"What shopping is Mom?"

"Shop vegetables and fruit, and I don't know what else."

"Shopped yourself?"

"Yes, he said shop by yourself, cook by yourself.maclum is still a bachelor."

"Pity."

"Mom invited him to lunch here, but he said next time."

"I forgot to say thank you for the flowers."

"Mom said it earlier. Mom said you like the flowers. He seems happy."

"Thank God, Mom, I mean to say thank you if I control later."

"It's okay if you call him. You're taking the number, aren't you?"

"Well, ah ma'am, not good. But I said it, yes."

"Arum, what if Dr. Bram likes you?"

Arum surprised.

"Why did you say that?"

"Perhaps, there's a possibility, seeing how attentive you are."

"It's impossible Mom, I'm a married woman/"

"Well an unfaithful husband, hurt his wife, do you still consider him your husband?"

Arum. Did he really still have a husband, and in fact he was so quick to take the wife of the one who could hurt him?

"Oh yeah, forget it all. How are you feeling now? Does the wound still hurt?"

"No ma'am, it's a little itchy, but it seems to have started to dry out."

"Thank God. Two more days of control, don't forget."

"Yes, Mom, I remember."

***

Aryo had just entered her home when Nastiti's mom greeted her with a restless face.

"What's wrong mom?"

"Come, sit here first" said Nastiti as she pulled Aryo onto the porch.

"There's a letter for you."

"Letter? From whom?

Ms. Nastiti held out a letter that was hidden under the tablecloth.

"This? From the Office of the Religious Court?"

Aryo trembled opening the letter. Arum is suing for divorce.
