AMEERA'S LOVE STORY
PART 26'S
I woke up in the morning feeling much better. I was ready to welcome my day with enthusiasm. Heru was still asleep on the sofa. I don't know what time he fell asleep. I decided to take a short walk around the house, enjoying the morning atmosphere that I had not had time to feel. The typical atmosphere of the countryside is beautiful with the sound of birds singing welcoming the sun. No one looked as far as the eye could see. Maybe this cottage is far from the residential area.
I sat on a chair by the lake. The reflection of the morning sunlight is clearly visible there, beautiful.
“Excuse neng.” Someone seemed to greet me from behind.
A middle-aged woman with a simple robe and a milk-brown hijab was looking at me.
“Sorry if my presence surprises neng,” he said, “neng girl who is with nak Heru?” tanyakanya.
“Iya, sorry mom who is yah?” my many.
“I who every day duty to clean the hut neng. My name is Aminah.” Madam introduced herself.
“Oh yes ma'am, brother Heru already told me. I'm Ameera.” And I introduced myself.
“Oh yes neng, this is mom bring neng clothes. I've washed and ironed. Son Heru said last night neng puking yah? Mom also found neng's phone in neng's pants pocket.” Ms. Aminah handed me my clothes and the cell phone I was looking for yesterday. I received my things while saying a word of encouragement.
The first thing I did was check my phone, it turned off. I got up to go back to the cabin and charge my phone. Aminah's mom followed me from behind.
“Sorry mom, I'm so troublesome mom.”
“Do not hesitate to talk, I am happy to serve the family of Mr. Burhan.”
“Mother has long cooperated with Heru's family?”
“Waduh, if calculated how long I do not know also neng. My mother used to work at her parents' house, Mr. Burhan, so a housekeeper. Then my mother stopped working because my father was very sick. At that time my mother's employer was giving home gifts in the area as well as my mother, but yes it was, my mother was asked to take care of this cottage. Because now my mother is elderly, so I care about the hut neng.” I just nodded my head listening to Aminah's story.
The story of Aminah's mother made me know a little about Heru's family. Actually I still want to ask a lot about the Heru family to Bu Aminah, but we have reached the front door of the cottage. I immediately went ahead with my plan to charge my phone.
“I go in first ya bu,” pamitku on bu Aminah.
“Where is Ra?” ask Heru as soon as I enter the cottage.
“Lake beach. Brother is awake?”
“Huum ...”
“Mandi gih, I want to ask brother anther to somewhere. I hacked hape first yes.” I walked into the room and searched for a mobile phone charger in my backpack. As soon as I found it I immediately plugged it into my phone. It takes a few seconds for the phone to turn on perfectly.
“So where are we going Ra?” asked Heru when we both got on the bike.
“We go to Agung's house,” I replied.
“Agung? Who's Great?”
“Temannya Umar.”
“Why? Don't you want to turn your ex back on?”
“It's very unlikely brother. I just want to apologize to him. I want to move on with life after finishing my past.”
“You sure Ra?”
“Very sure.”
After almost three hours of travel we finally arrived in front of a simple house, the Great house. It takes a few knocks until the owner opens the door. Agung seemed to open the door with an unfriendly face. There was hatred in her eyes.
“Agung, can we talk to you for a minute?” ask awkward.
“I .. I just want to ask where Umar is. I came here because I didn't know where to see Umar. I don't know where he lives or where he works. So—“
I have not yet finished my amulet, Umar has cut it. “See? That's funny, isn't it? You are dating Umar, and you know him for a long time but you don't know where he lives and where he works? You don't know anything about Umar.”
“Please tell me where Umar is, I have something to say. And this is very important.”
“Sorry Ra, I can't help you. I just don't want you to hurt Umar anymore.”
“What do you mean?”
“Umar has told you everything, about your affair. And now you want to come to him with this man?” Umar pointed right in front of Heru's face.
Heru looks furious because of it, “you boys have absolutely no manners.”
I looked at Heru, trying to calm him down. “I'm sorry, brother, he just doesn't know. Please don't be emotional, I don't want any commotion.”
My gaze goes back to Agung, “ini is not what you think Gung is. Please just tell me where Umar is, I just want to apologize to him.”
“He went home to his parents,” replied Agung.
“When will he be back?” ask again.
“Entahlah. Maybe a week, a month, another year or maybe never to return.” Agung looked at me who still did not accept with the reply of Agung. “Umar had a motorcycle accident, and suffered a broken bone.”
I was very surprised to hear the Great saying, “when?”
“The night after you dumped him, and chose to go with your affair.”
Grand's speech managed to add to my shock. I really did not expect the events of that day would have a huge effect on Umar's emotions. Although my mind still denied that this was not my fault, but deep down my heart felt that a little bit of this was my fault as well.
“Before you accuse me, you should know the truth of the real incident,” I told Agung.
I told everything to Agung. Starting from the arrival of Umar to the boarding house, then the arrival of Heru. Then Umar misunderstood me and was rude to me. Until I was kicked out of the boarding house for making a fuss
Slowly I saw the look on Agung's face change, not as sinister as it was. I think Agung is a little more open to receiving information from the other side.
“If later you meet with Umar, please convey my apology to him well. He's basically a good person, just having to control his emotions a little bit. I will always pray for her happiness.”
Heru and I both stayed with Agung. Unlike our arrival, now the look of Agung's face is more friendly. He even shook Heru's hand before we left.
“You do not have to explain all the events of the day to him Ra, it is absolutely not his business,” Heru said when we had ridden a motorcycle.
“It must be sister. It's not just to fix my good name, but it's about Nita.”
“Nita? What does this have to do with Nita?”
“Nita really likes Agung. The grand view towards me could be damaging to the view of Agung on Nita as well. I don't want Agung to hate and stay away from Nita because I'm a sister. That's why it's so important to explain everything on Agung.”
“It turns out you have a high concern also well Ra.” I only smiled in response to Heru's statement. “Now where are we Ra?” ask Heru later.
“We go to Deni workshop,” I replied.
Heru's driving back his motorcycle in reference to the direction I'm pointing. Long time together with Deni, I very memorized the way to his workshop. I used to accompany him there.
