A ROSE FOR MOM

A ROSE FOR MOM 02

Angga slumped down from his father's sling, instantly embracing Rini. But Aryo glared furiously. Angga pulled it and then carried it again.

Rini straightened her body, rubbing her eyes.

"Ma'af, I fell asleep."

"Would you come here? I've already kicked you out. You're my family's mess maker."

"Why do you always blame me? It's not just me doing it, you're enjoying it too" he said as he looked boldly at Aryo. Sesa'at could not answer. He is also guilty. But do not let the woman in front of him appear in his life again.

"Alright, I'm guilty too, but you better not come here again. K. You know, because that's why my wife left and hasn't come home until now.

"I just got back from the hospital. It's late in the afternoon, please let me stay here overnight, tomorrow morning I'll leave."

"No, you better stay at a inn," said Ayo.

"But I don't have the money to pay for lodging."

 "Here, I give you the money" said Aryo while taking his wallet over, and giving some sheets of hundreds of thousands which he then gave to Rini.

"Remember, don't ever set foot in this house again."

Then Aryo opened the door of his house, went inside and locked it again.

Angga whines, asking to meet Rini, but Aryo continues to bring her back, so that Rni does not hear Angga's cry that will make her feel victorious.

"I want Rinii... Father don't be angry with Rini.." whine Angga.

"No dear, Rini has to leave, because her parents are waiting. You want some milk?"

"I want Rinii.."

"Nothing, Rini's gone.."

And Rini was gone, with a sweet smile because she brought some of the hundreds of thousands of bills that Aryo gave her. He was not looking for lodging but hitchhiking at the home of one of his friends. 

***

But last night Angga was fussy, asking Rini and also asking her mother. Aryo can face a child, give whatever he asks, but not in a fussy state. If it is fussy, Aryo is always confused to comfort him.

"Female, let's just go for a walk, look for mom... will you?"

Hearing the words looking for the mother Angga fell silent from her cries. He held his father's hand and pulled him out of the house.

"Awhile, you take the car keys first yes," said Aryo a little relieved. Tired of working all day and dizzy looking for his wife, it does not feel as long as Angga do not cry anymore.

"We're going to see mom?" ask Angga when the car is on the road, between the traffic that still looks crowded because the day is not too late.

"Yes, I hope to see you?"

Angga falls asleep tired, and Aryo takes her home. Relieved to be able to put Angga to sleep, so that whining no longer slices his heart.

***

"Yo, Angga seems to want to go to school" Nastiti said one day.

"Yes right, when he sees school children he always says he wants to go to school."

"There's a play group near the house, let's just drop you off. Perhaps with many friends she will forget Rini and not whine constantly to find her mother."

"Mother's right. It's up to mom. Aryo is not used to babysitting, a bit confused whenever she's fussy."

Angga who just happened to come out from the inside looked happy to hear he wanted to go to school.

"Wants to school.. Orgy wants to go to school."

Aryo grabbed him, smirking his head in anxiety.

"Besok Angga school with eyeang. Yea?"

"Do you want school too?"

"No dear, it's a school for small children." replied Aryo with a laugh.

That night Angga slept in his sleep. Maybe he dreams of going to school, having lots of friends and playing with them.

Aryo was still sitting on the sofa while leaning his head. The days he spent were excruciating. He misses his wife, he wants to bow before her and ask for ma'af.

"Arum, I will do anything as long as you want to go back and forgive me" he whispered softly and bitterly. Next to his hand grabbed a pillow which he then embraced tightly, as if the pillow was his wife.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm khilaf.." Then a drop of tears poured down. a thousand feelings full of regret sipping on him. 

"That night was a fucking night !! I'm crazy.I'm crazyaa!!" Aryo was constantly cursing himself.

Suddenly we heard Angga's cry. Aryo jumps into her son's room. He saw that Angga was sitting crying.

"Female, honey, what's up?"

"Where's mom..where's mom... I want to go to school with mom.." she cried.

Oh, this again. Aryo grabbed her son and carried him while patting his back.

"Ssh.. Quiet Angga, sleep in the father's room only huh?"

Angga moans slowly, maybe he dreams of attending school with his mother. Aryo patted his back, and walked around until Angga fell asleep again. 

Aryo took Angga to his room, and put him to bed there. Aryo lay beside her after covering her, then patted her thigh until Angga fell asleep again. Perhaps it is better for Angga to sleep with him, so

if you cry at any time Aryo is ready to put her back to sleep.

"Aryo, let Angga be with mother only, so that you do not bother to take care of him, while you will be tired of working all day," said his mother once when she picked up Angga.

"Don't ma'am, Aryo can't be far from Angga. It's okay to be tired just a little, as long as there are Angga near Aryo." he replied at that time.

Miss Nastiti can't do anything. A mother's concern, when watching her child's household fall apart, was detained. Fortunately Angga is not so fussy as long as he is not reminded of his mother.

***

That night in a room Rini was talking to Wuri, her friend when she was in nursing school. They graduate and Wuri works at a hospital, but Rini is happy to be a baby sitter. He often said that working at Aryo's house was fun.

"You don't know, the name of Mr. Aryo is handsome bangeeett." he said at the time.

"You say you like your job, because there's a handsome boss, or because you love kids?"

"I love his son, but I love his father too" he said.

"Crazy !"

"Okay, you said that because you've never seen the name Mr. Aryo anyway."

"What the hell is it like ?"

"Tomorrow I take a picture of him yes, I show you later, but beware, lest you fall in love, he's mine."

"What's? Doesn't he have a wife?"

"Have it anyway, beautiful, patient, hm. too patient is less pleasant. Who knows, Mr. Aryo prefers a fierce girl like me." then Rini chuckles happily.

"Basic wong eddan !" sulkan Wuri's. Actually they are friendly, but Wuri is less fond of Rini's flirtatious nature. And when Rini quit her job, Wuri guessed, surely Rini had made a mistake.

That night before going to bed Wuri asked.

"Why you quit your job. He said you like working there."

"Yes, his wife is jealous. He was jealous of me, so I was kicked out," boasted Rini as her eyes glared at the ceiling of the house.

"If a wife is jealous of another woman, it must be because she is too flirtatious with her husband, or even teases her husband," Wuri accused.

"It's not Wuri, Mr. Aryo who likes me."

"Oh yeah? How could a man with a beautiful wife, like his son's nurse?"

"You don't know, how a man. I think men are like cats."

"meaning?"

"The cat, already given good food, but seeing salted fish also he is still greedy coke."

"Is that salty you?"

Rini bahak.

"Rini, I'll tell you, don't bother a married man. Not that good. The proof is that you lost your job because you were flirtatious with your employer."

"Oh, I'm the same she's interrupting each other, you know!"

"Where are you bothering each other?"

"She likes to look at me like that, and I'm also tempted by her handsome, look in her eyes, her whiskers, uh. her thin mustache really adds sweetness to her face you know. If only I could be his wife.."

"Dreams 'times."

"Dreams !!"

"Betc?!"

"More wins me. Where could you possibly snatch someone's husband."

"What if I could?"

"I'll hate you for a lifetime!" wuri Ancam.

"Well, don't be Wuri, his best friend's time has ideals that are not supported."

"Foolish ideals, who wants to support?"

Rini is back.

"Oh yeah Wuri, you're gonna get me a job, right?"

"There, take care of the old grandfathers, and the sickly. If I want to tell you the address."

"What's? Caring for old, sickly grandparents? Ogah !!"

"The "job that is offered is just that. You're a nurse picking a job."

"Yes dong, the time to find a job that I do not like to live it. Try finding another dong Wuri. Caring for a handsome guy, a spoiled one, a royal love money. and.."

"Nothing is."

"Now that is."

"Well, no, no handsome guy needs a nurse. Can't take care of himself?"

Rini laughed out loud.

"Yes Wuri, find it, as long as not to take care of grandparents. Can I catch my old me later."

"Yes tomorrow, let me ask my friends. Now I'm going to sleep, don't be noisy !"

"I'm also going to sleep, may I have a dream to meet the handsome Mr. Aryo."

"Say no noise !!"

***

That morning Aryo woke up early. He saw Angga still sleeping beside him.  Aryo wants to wake up but feels affectionate. He chose to go out of the room and make milk for Angga, put on the room table, then he took a towel and took a bath.

Today his mother promised to take Angga to school, so had to leave early in the morning. 

But in the bathroom he heard Angga crying.

"Mother..want milk.." cried Angga.

Aryo grabbed the towel and opened the bathroom.

Aryo stopped crying seeing her father approaching. But then he screamed.

"Father, shame... !!"

Aryo was surprised, he realized the winding of the towel was too high. He confirmed it, then grabbed the pajamas he had prepared on the mattress.

"Ma'af yes.. Do you want milk? Dad has prepared. Drink it."

"Where's mom.."

"Want to go to school today?"

"Same school mom ?" asked Angga while getting out of bed.

"The milk is drunk first yes, continue to bathe with the father, continue to the house eye to eye, then school with eye" said Aryo while holding out a glass filled with milk.

Angga accepted it, then gulped it down. Aryo smile.

"Well, you pee," 

"Well, let's go between the bathrooms, all the showers?"

Aryo served all the wishes of Angga with enthusiasm. He hopes the fussiness of Angga will be reduced by the presence of friends playing at school later.

"I want to eat the same egg clap father" said Angga after dressed neatly and wearing shoes.

 "Would you like to eat?"

Aryo was confused, the egg was in the fridge, but the rice? Last night he forgot to cook rice, because they had eaten at his mother's house.

"Female, how about eating it at home?"

"But Angga wants it now."

"Mh.. Angga, listen, if Angga doesn't leave soon, then miss school. So we should go first, then eat at home, and Angga ready to go to school. How's it?"

Because of the lure of the school that Angga nodded.

Aryo called her mother.

"Mother, Angga asked for breakfast with a plump egg, Aryo forgot to cook rice."

"Walaah.yeah, I make it now" said Ms. Nastiti from across.

Aryo smile. 

"Mother would have understood if I forgot to cook rice, I am a widower. uh don't. I'm alone again," he murmured while wearing his shoes.

***

As soon as he arrived at his mother's house, he saw that the table was ready for rice and eggs clamped by Angga's order.

"Well, this is breakfast for Angga" said Nastiti.

"Want to be bribed?"

"People want to eat alone" Angga said as he sat in the dining chair.

"For you Aryo, fried rice."

"Thank you ma'am, Aryo always bothers me."

"No Yo, what makes mom difficult is your household" said Nastiti sadly.

"Ma'af ma'am, Aryo will always try to find Arum."

"True Yo, rebuild your household when you meet later. I always wish you could be together until Grandpa. Until death do us part. Like this mother. Be faithful with your father until your father leaves mother."

"Please pray, ma'am."

"Surely, a mother will always pray for the happiness of her grandchildren."

"Thank you ma'am."

"He ate his breakfast before he left for work."

Aryo glanced at Angga who was greedily eating with his order's clipped eggs. Aryo smiled then spooned the fried rice onto his plate.

"Is it spicy?" ask Angga.

"Very spicy. Do you want to try?"

Angga. He seems a little hard to cut his eggs. Ms. Nastiti approached, then helped cut the cut so that Angga could directly scoop it up.

***

Ms. Nastiti took her granddaughter into the school grounds. Many small children were running around, and Angga saw it without blinking.

"People want to play there" said Angga.

"In the meantime, we said it was with the teacher, huh?"

Bu Nastiti took Angga into a room with the inscription Master Room.

"Good morning," Nastiti said hello.

"Good morning mother" a teacher stood up and greeted Nastiti.

Suddenly Angga shouted. 

"That's my mother."

tomorrow again yes
