A ROSE FOR MOM

A ROSE FOR MOM 09

When he came out of the pharmacy, suddenly there was a sense of regret in Aryo's heart. He had made someone fall, but did not have time to ask ma'af.

"Stupid me. I should have been able to catch up with him, his car was in front of me and only one car apart. Poor thing, because the dizzy head is losing my mind."

Aryo drives his car, and passes, hoping, hopefully to see each other again sometime. But meet who how? Did he not see her face? It was getting dark and they were like they were hurrying to leave.

And for some reason, Aryo is disturbed by the incident, and continues to regret it.

He got home, when Angga was playing with his car. Just back and forth inside the house, because his grandmother forbade playing in the yard when it started to twilight.

"Wagga... waduh.. play continues yes.. not tired?"

"Father, Angga can already be alone.look at this.." then Angga shows off how he runs his car, forward, backward or circling.

"What is the father of Pinter? Come on now get off, it's been a while since he got in his car?"

Aryo lifted his son's body and held it in his chest.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Yet, later with my father. Oversimplifies.. I really stink." said Angga, twitching his nose.

Aryo.

"You smell good, right?"

"Bau. You haven't had a shower?"

"Yes, now I want to take a shower. Where's eyang?"

Aryo lowered Angga and then walked to the back.

"What mom cooked?"

"Here, just the asem, the same roast chicken this afternoon. Take a shower, and eat together" said Ms. Nastiti.

Aryo turned her body and went into the room, preparing to take a shower.

***

"Where have you been Yo, long gone," asked Nastiti's mother when they were sitting together, while Angga was asleep.

"Aryo suddenly recalled when Rini said that she saw Arum coming out of the hospital.  Maybe he's lying, but maybe he's right. Aryo wants to prove it."

"You went to that hospital?"

"Yes, but there is no clear explanation. "

"Can they help?"

"Come on, but they're telling Aryo to come back tomorrow morning."

"So can ?"

"Not yet to know Mom, there is a certain section for Aryo to ask about patients who have been treated there."

"The data should be clear, full name, address, age.."

"Isn't the address here, ma'am?"

"Yes, if he's using an address here, how about an address in his new place?"

Aryo held his head. The dizziness he had felt had not gone right, even though he had taken his medicine.

"But yes there is no harm in trying Yo, hopefully you can get information about your wife.

Suddenly I heard a phone ring. Number not known. Aryo was reluctant to pick her up, at most Rini. But the phone kept ringing.

"Mother, please adopt me, if from Rini, just say Aryo does not exist," said Aryo while giving his mobile phone to his mother.

"Hallo," said Nastiti.

"Hallo good night, this is Nastiti's mom?"

"Yes right, this is who it is, howling his voice."

"Lho, pangling time is the same as the iron sound."

"Oh, yes, Jeng Martono? It's another voice."

"Mom, I just don't pangling Mom's voice."

"Thank you Jeng, how, what news? Oh yeah, want to talk to Aryo?"

"Yes Ma'am, I want to ask you about Arum. Sad I. it's been more than two months since there hasn't been any news."

"Iya Jeng, every day Aryo is also looking for her. This is Yo, your in-laws" said Ms. Nastiti while giving her phone to Aryo.

"Hallo Ma'am, this is Aryo."

"How Child... Arum, isn't there any news?"

"I've been trying to keep looking for her, ma'am, but nothing's done yet."

"Is the Angga not fussy?"

"The fuss kept on mom, that's why Aryo asked mom to stay home."

"Where is the boy... I've also asked 'smart people' for help, he said Arum is still in town."

"Aryo will continue to try ma'am "he said, although he did not like the name 'smart people' it.

"The last time he called Mom, it was raining at night. He said he wanted to go home, did Mom sleep, mom answered not yet, what are the nights to Mom's house, he said just miss mom. But that night he never came. I waited until morning, and Aryo's son called me, looking for Arum."

"Yes Ma.. Aryo remember."

"Every once in a while take Angga to the house of mother, mother kangen.",

"Alright Mom, ma'af, because confused Aryo to not think to invite Angga to Mother's house. Tomorrow's Sunday I'm here, ma'am, surely Angga is happy."

Aryo was pensive after receiving a phone call from her in-laws. Certainly, which parent is not sad if his child leaves without news. 

***

That time...

Arum came out of the house with a wounded heart. The rain was no longer as hot as it was. Arum continued to step up, following where his feet wanted him to. But the drizzle was only for a moment, the heavy rain again flushed. Arum kept walking, no matter how wet he was, no matter how shivering his body was cold. Tears continued to pour, racing with the swift rain. 

She already knew, Rini often teased her husband. Acting not to see, then hit him, pretending to hand Angga in his carrier to his father, but secretly he glanced at him. But Arum didn't think her husband's faith was that thin. She who initially believed, was then hurt by a scene she never imagined, between her own husband, and her babysitter. 

Arum's heart is bleeding.  Pain and disappointment filled his chest..

The rain was still pouring, no one walked under the rain that hard, even with an umbrella. But Arum, letting his body get wet in the rain, then his steps get weaker, then fall and then do not remember anything else.

A half-old woman, carrying an umbrella, stood by the side of the road, under the roof of a rather prominent shop outside. The mother saw Arum fall down, then approached. His body was in the rain. He took pains to pull Arum's body aside. Asleep. The shop next door where he had been shopping, he saw it was closed. The mother simply put Arum's cold body on the floor. There is nothing that can be used as a base.. 

"Tolooong..," the mother shouted. But his voice vanished in the rain and thunder boomed over.

"Oh, how is this," the mother was confused, then remembered that she had been told by her employer to buy eucalyptus oil in the stall. He picked it up in a grocery bag and opened the lid, then kissed it on Arum's nose. He also rubbed it all over his body. Arum's not moving.

"Tolooong," he shouted once more.

Suddenly the phone he was carrying rang. The mother was yu Siti, the maid of a household who was being told to buy something by her employer. It was drizzling rain, so Yu Siti carried an umbrella. His employer told him to bring a cell phone, maybe later the order there is less.

"Hallo,"

"Where are you, yu?"

"Still in the shade, ma'am, it's raining heavily, but mom's groceries are complete. There's a faint near me ma'am.."

"People fainted?"

"A woman, I've rubbed it with eucalyptus oil that I told you to buy, not yet aware."

"Where are you?"

"I'm next to Sanjoyo ma'am's shop. The shop was closed.

"Wait there, let Pono pick you up, and bring the fainted man home."

"All right."

Yu Siti was a little relieved, her master's house was not so far away. He continued to rub Arum's body, his chest, his back, his palms. Let him open his clothes, there was no one there.

Shortly after, his car arrived. Yu Siti waved her hand. Pono got closer to his car, then got off.

"Please No, pick up the car, let me take the umbrella.."

Arum fell weakly in the car, but his hands were already moving. Yu Siti was relieved. He continued rubbing the palm of Arum's hand.

"Uuh.." sounded Arum complaining.

"Thank God you're sober, son."

Once you get to a house, the rain starts to fall. Pono held Arum and yu Siti paddled him from behind.

Bu Suryo, the owner of the house waiting in front, immediately told Yu Siti to bring to the empty room next to her own room.

"The body is soaking wet ma'am," said Yu Siti.

Arum opened his eyes. 

"Take my clothes and change their clothes. That's his shirt soaked."

"Good ma'am."

When Yu Siti was busy replacing Arum's clothes, Suryo ma'am took a hot tea back, then gave it to Yu Siti.

Arum had changed into clean and dry clothes, but his body was still limp. Yu Siti scooped the warm tea spoonful by spoonful into her mouth.

"No, put the car in the garage, and you can go home. The rain seems to have stopped. Later if there's anything I'm on your phone," Suryo's mom said to her driver.

"Good ma'am."

Pono passed, then Suryo's mother went back into the room where Arum was still weak.

"How does it feel?"

"I.. where is it?" whispered weak Arum.

"You're in my house. Yu Siti my maid found you passed out on the street."

"Oh..." 

"Yu Siti, get some food with hot soup."

Yu Siti rushed to the back to fulfill her master's orders. Ms. Surya is a kind and helpful widow. He also treats Yu Siti like his own family. His helpfulness was aroused when Yu Siti said that there were people fainting on the street.

Arum looked at the half-old woman. Although her face was not beautiful, but the look of her sharp eyes showed that she was a friendly person. Those eyes are so shady.

"Dizziness ?"

Arum.

"Later after Yu Siti feeds you, you should take medicine. And if you still feel bad, tomorrow I'll take you to the hospital."

Arum. 

"Whose name?"

"Arum, he answered softly.

 How did you pass out on the side of the road? You brought nothing. Wallet, bag.. or what..?"

Arum fumbled like he was looking for something nearby.

"You didn't bring anything, probably fell when you fainted."

Yu Siti brought a bowl of rice that had been poured with hot soup.

"Eat first, I'll get the cure. Later if you're calm, or tomorrow, you can tell me what happened to you."

Arum.

"Where is your house ?"

Arum. He was everywhere not knowing, how could he say his house was far or near.

Miss Suryo came out of the room.

"Here son, eat first" said Yu Siti.

"Let me eat by myself" said Arum as he rose. But his head felt pulsating.

"Here son, you are still limp, let yu Siti bribe," said yu Siti as she approached.

A spoonful after a spoonful of rice that was fed to Yu Siti went into her mouth. Arum feels more comfortable. He remembered how he got to the house. But all he remembered was the heavy rain, the pain in his heart, and then his body felt weak, and then he could remember nothing more.

"This is the cure, give her love after you finish eating ya yu. Oh yeah, when you found him, was there a bag or purse he was carrying?"

"There's no ma'am, or maybe I didn't notice. I just saw him fall, then I took him to the side."

"You brought a lot of money?"

Arum. He never brought a lot of money, but there is an ATM card ID and several other important letters.  I don't know where that bag or wallet fell.

"It's mom, I'm full" said Arum when Yu Siti had already fed him half.

"A little more?"

Arum. Then symbok gave a medicine for a headache and helped him rise to take it.

"Yu, you sleep here last night, I'm afraid he's not well. Give her a blanket, let it warm" said Suryo, who turned her back to get out of the room.

"Thank you very much" whispered Arum.

Bu Suryo turned his head for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

***

Arum was confused when he opened his eyes in the morning, realizing he was sleeping somewhere strange. His memory is not perfect. He also did not remember that last night was cared for by a kind-hearted half-old woman, along with her maid named Yu Siti.

"Where am I?" Arum wanted to get up, but his head felt heavy.

"Wake up, son?" yu Siti walked in while carrying a tray containing a glass of warm tea.

"Oh.. My mother helped me, didn't she?" said Arum weakly.

"Night Nak Arum passed out and was told by Suryo to bring her here."

Arum then remembered. When his clothes were changed with dry clothes, given warm tea, eating rice with hot soup and taking medicine. 

"Yes, I remember it."

"Thank God. Now drink this tea, or am I a bribe?"

"Don't, I'll just drink alone."

Trouble Arum got up, helped by Yu Siti, while sitting he sipped a few sips of hot tea, then lay back.

"Still dizzy?"

Arum.

"Little."

"Let me rub the oil rub again on Arum's body, to make it feel warm."

Arum according. Yu Siti unzipped the back of Arum's shirt, then rubbed it with eucalyptus oil. Then his chest, and down to his stomach.

Suddenly Yu Siti was stunned, when she saw that there was a mole near the navel. His hands were shaking suddenly.
