A ROSE FOR MOM

A ROSE FOR MOM 34

Arum. Instantly stop his steps.. The expected person has not come, who is not expected to even nongol, spread his sweet smile, which is not at all pleasant to enjoy. Arum knew Suryo's mom would take him home soon.

"Arum.." call Suryo's mom as she approaches.

"Kok mom got here?"

"Yes, come home, all of your nyamperin. And you also want to know your mother."

"Oh, please come in. Please go inside."

Bu Suryo followed Arum's steps rushing towards the house. Inwardly kept asking, why Aryo did not come immediately.

"Please sit Mom," said Arum as he went inside, after inviting Suryo to sit down.

Bu Suryo observed Martono's house. A simple house, far different from his luxurious home, which in his living room is full of antique furniture that is expensive. But Suryo admitted, simple furniture on display, arranged neatly by the owner. The ancient sofa that still looks intact, cupboard contains cups and glasses are arranged sweet. There is a photo of a beautiful woman with a little girl, which is definitely Arum.

Before long Arum came out, served a cup of tea, and a bigger glass to give to Pono who was waiting in front.

"Please drink ma'am, just tea."

"That's your photo of mom, isn't it?" ask Suryo bu while pointing towards the 10 R size frame hanging on the wall.

"Yes, that's Arum. When Arum just entered SD. Still a geeky ma'am."

"You look beautiful from childhood."

"Ah, Mother.." said Arum while sitting in front of Suryo's mother.

"Mother brought souvenirs for your mother" said Suryo's mother as she placed the rather large parcel, on the table in front of her."

"Mom bothered, I bought you all sorts of things."

"Nothing Rum, it's from you, now it's from me. Which mother?"

"Mommy's new shower, it'll be out soon. Where's mom from?"

"So from the immigration office, it's closed anyway, but I met an acquaintance who is also an employee there. Ask about passport creation for you."

"Oh, I've been thinking about passports" Arum said with a displeased face.

"That's important Rum, so or not, or whenever you want to go, if you already have a passport is easier."

Arum sighed heavily, somewhat annoyed that he really did not want to show.

"If you're married, they ask for a copy of the marriage book. Just according to mom, waiting for the divorce papers to come out" said Suryo's mom who Arum felt very slicing his feelings.

"Oh my God" cried Arum in the heart. He turned his face to cover up his unbearable frustration, pretending to wait for his mother.

"Which mother yes, long right."

"Let it go, we don't have to be hasty. You drank the tea, huh?" said Suryo ma'am who immediately took a cup containing tea served by Arum.

Arum turned his head towards the road, hoping that Aryo would come soon. It's okay to see Surya ma'am. Shortness of his chest thinking about how later. and how later. Arum steadied his heart. Perhaps now is the time to give understanding to Suryo that she still loves her husband.

Suddenly he saw a taxi stop in front of the fence. Arum looked out.

"There's guests? Looks like a taxi stopped" Suryo said.

Arum stood up, then stepped out. Someone saw him coming down from inside the taxi, a well-built man who stepped steadily into the courtyard. Arum's chest is pounding. That man, was the one he was waiting for. She wore a smile, a smile that was as charming as ever, which made her fall in love when she first saw it. Aryo approached, while expanding both of her hands, then hugged her tightly.

"Arum, Arum. forgive me..."

"Mas Aryo, sobs Arum on Aryo's chest."

"If I had to bow down to you, I would do Rum, as long as you forgive me" whispered Aryo still with a tight hug. Years of longing for her, no shame if anyone sees her. A few moments they hugged. Arum also shed tears.

"I'm the one who should apologize, leave you, leave our son."

"I know everything."

While lulled in the long longs he had harbored, Aryo did not notice that two pairs of eyes were watching him from inside the house. Mrs Suryo and Ms Martono who had finished bathing and met her guests.

Arum who then realized, pushed Aryo's body slowly.

"There's Suryo's mom inside" he whispered.

Aryo rubbed Arum's tears with her palm.

"You came with him? "

"No, he just came, caught up with me. Aryo has been here a long time. It's been almost an hour since Bram told me.

"Yes, I suddenly deflated on the road, I left it, then I took a taxi."

"Oh, pantesan."

The two slowly entered the house. Bu Suryo stared unhappily, while Martono stood up, and Aryo kissed his hand. Aryo also approached Suryo's mother, held her hand and kissed her. Mrs Suryo looked away.

Arum was sad to see it.

"Sit Aryo. This is Ma'am, this is Arum's husband" said Ms. Martono.

"Yes, I've seen him, when he was looking for Arum but didn't meet."

"I'm grateful that Mom helped Arum, protected him and loved him" Aryo said slowly as she looked at Suryo's mom.

"O, yes, I feel sorry to see women hurt, betrayed." said Ms. Suryo cynically.

"I'm sorry, I'm khilaf."

"If an apology could take away a sin, then no one would be miserable" said Bu Suryo still in a cynical tone.

Aryo. Arum who came out while carrying a cup of tea for her husband, had heard the words of Suryo ma'am that hurt. It seems difficult to ease Suryo's anger against Aryo.

"Drink the mas, the tea.."

"Yes, sit here" Aryo said, pointing to the seat beside her. Arum. 

Aryo sipped her tea deliciously. It seems that Suryo's anger has no effect on him.

"It seems I should be back soon. Miss Martono, we are still living in the village because there is still a need, so afraid of the night, I say goodbye first."

"Why haste, ma'am, we haven't told you much."

"There is still a better time Mom, I'm sorry, can Arum I invite you and now?"

"But Ma'am." said Arum hesitatingly and timidly.

"It's already night, Yu Siti must be waiting."

"I still want to talk to Arum ma'am."

"Arum, do you want to come with me, or will you still be here?" suryo said this like a sharp knife pointed at his chest. There is a meaning, that the middle-aged woman forced him.

"Mas Aryo, the point is Mas already know, later I will finish it soon" said Arum while kissing Aryo's hand, and shed a drop of tears there. Aryo stroked Arum's head gently. Apparently Arum wants to settle the heart of Suryo's mom first. 

Mrs Suryo has walked out. Again Aryo hugged her tightly.

"I'll be back Mas" whispered Arum.

Aryo and Miss Martono let go of Suryo mom with uncertain feelings. 

"Arum felt indebted, could not force it. Hopefully slowly Arum land can settle his heart."

Aryo nodded. Although disappointed, there was a little relief that erupted because Arum was still in love with him. A sense of relief that then made him happy.

"Patience to Nak Aryo." said Miss Martono while hugging Aryo.

"Yes ma'am, please pray that everything will be fine."

"Mom will surely pray for you, son."

  Entering the house and then seeing Angga welcome him, Aryo grabbed and raised Angga's body high, making the little boy scream for pleasure.

"Bapaaaak." cried Angga pleasure.

Angga chuckled, Aryo lowered her down after kissing her in a row.

"Listen, guess who you met..?"

"Mm.. See the doctor, right? That's his friend the father was here."

"Right, but there's more fun."

"Let's guess who else you're meeting?"

"Mother fairy ?"

"Benaaaar, and because it's true.. Agga can get a gift.."

"What gift is father?"

"Gift peluuuk.." cried Aryo as he hugged Angga back and kissed her nonstop.

Ratih watched Aryo's joy with gratitude. Means that I have met Arum, and that is why Mr. Aryo is very happy, said the inner Ratih. She smiles happily.

"Let me guess.. meet you, right?" rahat said as he approached.

"Right, but unfortunately there's Suryo's mom there, so it's not free to talk."

"Lhoh, wasn't he just going alone with the driver?"

"Bu Suryo followed her there. His words hurt me so much. But I don't care, for me, the important thing is that my wife can come back."

"Why don't you go home?"

"No, it was because he was waiting for Suryo to come home. Let it be, I've found him, and soon he'll be back."

"Thank God, I'm happy, too," and Angga embraced it with all his feelings. 

"Will it be like this?" whispered in his heart, while kissing Angga's cheek.

***

Ms. Suryo stayed silent all the way home. She didn't think Arum would meet her husband at her mother's house. Maybe it's been a date before, a coincidence anyway? And Suryo's mom feels betrayed. Already know he hates the same Aryo, why Arum actually met there, hugging with affection..

"Mother..." Arum who feels that Suryo's mom is angry embracing Suryo's shoulder, put his head on the shoulder of someone who has been very good to him.

"If you keep quiet, Arum is sad... "

Ms. Suryo is still silent.

"Mom knows, Arum loves you very much." said Arum as he tightened his arms.

Bu Suryo was silent, but slowly a sense of haru crept into his heart. She had never given birth to a child, but hearing someone say dear to her, it suddenly slowly withered everything that had been done to her. Slowly, until when he entered the village house, then entered his room.

Yu Siti who greeted him did not follow him in, seeing Arum who then hugged him.

"Mother what's wrong? Like anger, or pain?" ask yu Siti slowly.

"It's okay, come on Mom.. Arum asked for hot tea, in the kitchen, said Arum while pulling the body of Yu Siti invited him to the kitchen. While Yu Siti makes the requested tea, Arum cleans herself in the bathroom. A small humming was heard from there. Glad that Yu Siti heard it. The hum was still heard, as Arum sat in a chair in front of the kitchen table, waiting for warm tea to be served.

"It seems happy again," said Yu Siti while putting the requested tea.

Arum nodded, sipping tea slowly, deliciously.

Yu Siti sat in front of him. Staring at a beautiful face that looks radiant even though it has not been bathing and clothes have not changed.

" Good news? So go out of the country?" yu Siti's.

Arum pouted, glaring at yu Siti with a cute look.

"Well, didn't you say you wanted to get a passport for Arum's son?"

"No, just asked. Who the hell wants to go out?" Arum sipped the tea again, until it ran out. Yummy anyway.

"You want to addin?"

"No, ma'am, that's enough."

"What news is there? Seneng is right, so meet Mr Aryo? But how can you go home with mom?"

"Yes, my mother followed to my mother's house, arguing. deg-degan I ma'am.." slowly said Arum.

"Why deg-degan?"

Arum closed the lipped index finger..

"You are Aryo." said Arum whispering.

"Oh, how's mom ?"

"Looks kind of dislike, and then brought me back here."

"Oh yes aampuun."

"But I am happy, have met Aryo mas, although talk a little but full of meaning. We always loved each other. And I'll be right back."

"Thank God, Yu Siti was happy. But sad if Nak Arum will return there, Yu Siti will lose." said Siti's mother.

"No Ma'am, Ms. Siti will still be my mother, whom I will visit all the time.

"really?"

Arum nodded then embraced Yu Siti tightly.

"My son.." he whispered softly, as if he had found his son back.

"You take a shower, ma'am, the story will be tonight."

"Yes, take a shower, son, let's go. Yu Siti wants to prepare dinner first."

  That night, Suryo barely left the room. He ate a little without saying much, then went back into his room.

Arum enters Suryo's mom's room after knocking on her slowly. Bu Suryo was lying on the bed, his eyes closed, but Arum was sure that Suryo was not sleeping. He approached the bed, and lay down on his side. Slightly docked because Suryo's mom was lying a bit aside. Next to Arum's hand hugged Suryo's mom.

"Mother, it's not so night, you want to sleep? You want me to massage mom's legs?"

Ms. Suryo did not answer. Arum got up, sat down next to .. then began to massage his legs slowly, while occasionally glancing at the face of Suryo ma'am.

"Mom..wasteful? Usually, if it is kneaded like this, drowsiness immediately comes. When Arum was sick, she used to scold him, an ox, until Arum fell asleep."

The unrelenting babbling did not make Arum tired. He must be able to subdue the heart of Suryo. Must be able to melt his hatred to Aryo. If it could be that night.

"Mom, did you know that once Arum found such great affection. Only from Mom, even though I'm not the woman who gave birth to Arum. Arum owes his life to Mom. If only Arum's life could have been to exchange for all the mother's kindness, Arum would have given it."

Bu Suryo suddenly opened his eyes. Staring at the beautiful face that was seeping at her feet while sleepy, while her lips continued to mutter as if they did not need an answer.

"That's right, ma'am, it's really weighing on that debt feeling. Arum would have if that'd made it up to him."

Suryo's hand moved, catching Arum's hand that was still pinching his leg, then pulling him into his arms.

"Mother.." whispered Arum.

"Do you love your mother.."

"If you don't believe me, cut off Arum's chest" Arum joked.

Bu Suryo stroked Arum's head, his tears floating. 

Not expecting to get a reaction, Arum dropped his head on the chest of Suryo's mother, one hand embracing her tightly.

"Surely mother is afraid of losing you." - she whispered.

"How could you lose me? If you lose me, I lose you too. We have each other, we love each other, no one will lose Mom.."

"really?"

Arum nodded, Suryo still stroked his head.

"Mom wants the best for you. I want you to be on the side of a good man who can protect you, not hurt you."

"Yes mom, Arum knows."

"That's why, I'm choosing Doctor Bram as your husband later."

Well, why go back there again? 

***

tomorrow again yes.
