Anindira Dew
Section 15
Anin rode his motorcycle aimlessly, wanting to go home to the store was impossible in such a chaotic state as now.
Remembering Askara's treatment in the restaurant made his heart back hurt.he was humiliated and humiliated in front of many people.
Who wouldn't be hurt to be treated like that? let alone her status as a wife, Anin's self-esteem was really nothing in Askara's eyes.
Right now He wants to cry out his sadness, He needs a quiet, quiet place.
He knows where to go. Anin also stuck his motor gas to a place that is always in every time you feel sad.
Motor Anin stops in a grassland that is quite wide, around it there are several trees with leafy leaves, suitable for picnics or just sitting in the afternoon enjoying the breeze.
The place was just an empty land that was quite large but over time began to be grown by weeds and several other wildflowers, one of which is dandelion grass flowers.
People sometimes call it Randa tread which means small flowers that can fly when blown by the wind.
But unlike Anin, dandelion has a special meaning in his life.
Anin sat down to bend her legs in the shade of a tree, watching the children playing ball.
Its far away place on the edge of the capital city of Jakarta makes the atmosphere very calm, anyone who is there can sit at home for a long time.
Anin turned her face up, letting the afternoon breeze caress her friendly face.Hopefully her sadness could evaporate carried along with the wind.
The sound of the carefree laughter of children who were playing ball slightly warmed his heart, Anin like to go back to those times.
Life just by playing without having to feel the heartache as it is being felt.
True said people, being that adult is very funny.we are forced to look fine in front of many people. Anin wanted to go back to childhood, crying at any time without having to hide from the crowd.
But now different, He would only dare to cry in the dark, curled up to embrace himself not knowing who to complain to.
The shadow of Askara's face again appeared, his heart was sad to remember the incident earlier this afternoon.
"Why is Mr Askara mean to me?" ask Anin to herself.
No matter how strong Anin held back her tears, but Askara's treatment was too imprinted on the heart.
Anin lowered her head, letting her hair fall out and covering part of her face, she wanted to cry without seeing anyone.
"You want to sleep not here" said one man and stood right beside Anin who was still bowing her head, thinking Anin was asleep.
Sensing the presence of someone beside her, Anin raised her head, squinting to see more clearly the face of the man standing right above her who was exposed to the glare of sunlight.
For a second, Anin could see the man's face.
Noticing the presence of a foreign man nearby, Anin turned her face the other way, wiping away the remaining tears on both her cheeks.
"I've seen it, so don't be embarrassed" the man said as he watched Anin hastily wipe away his tears.
Anin cursed herself "I'm not crying" she continued lying.
The man chuckled "May I sit down?" tanyakanya.
Anin shifted her body, keeping her distance from the man she did not know.
"Sit down, this is a public place so there is no ban" he replied without looking at the face of the man who was already sitting next to him.
"It's sunny afternoon well" the man tried to make small talk to Anin.
"Hemm" Anin's brief.
"But baby next to me is overcast" he said, which was shown to Anin.
"I'm not crying" elak Anin did not dare to look at the man beside him.
"If you want to cry, just cry, humane really" he continued.
Anin was silent, feeling a little annoyed with the pretentious man beside her that "Don't be pretentious to be a person" she said disliked
"I speak based on what I see.
With a heavy sigh, Anin ventured to look at the man sitting next to her.
The eyes of the two met, Anin frowned like she felt familiar with that face.
"We meet again" said the man looking at Anin's confused expression.
"We?" point Anin at her "For example, have we met before? But where is it?" tanyakanya.
"It turns out your memory sucks well" the man said.
"I meet a lot of people every day, it's impossible to memorize their faces one by one" Anin said.
"Minimarket" said the man with just one word.
Anin fell silent, her brain thought hard "You" Anin pointed out "You were the one who helped carry my groceries that time, right?" finally Anin recalled the man beside her.
The man smiled "I think your memory really sucks"
Anin chided "I told you I couldn't remember the faces of everyone I met"
"Yes.yes.yes, women are always right" said the man relented.
The two went back into silence, dissolving in their minds each looking for a topic of conversation amid the awkward changing atmosphere.
"Btw, we have not had time to acquaintance" The man opened his voice first "I Ken Mahendra just call Ken" he said reaching out to Anin.
Anin welcomed Ken's hesitant hand saying "Embun Anindira, you can call me Anin" after introducing Anin to give up their hands first.
"His name is beautiful, as beautiful as the person" Ken smiled
Anin twirled the eyes of the middle-eyed "Newly familiar with dreadlocks"
"Who's a sombre" exclaimed Ken not to accept "I'm speaking according to the facts"
"Yes.yes well, let's just say I agree with your words" Anin broke up for not wanting to argue.
Ken smiled and looked straight ahead at the children who were chasing the ball "You come here often?" ken asked starting to open the subject.
"Not really, only when there are problems" Anin honestly, this place is always the goal if you are sad or down.
"Why is that?"
Smiling bitterly for a moment "Because only in this place can I cry and scream without having to hide anymore" Anin explained with her own face.
"I also love this place, almost every day I come here" said Ken looking straight ahead.
Anin turned to look at Ken "Every day?" tanyanya did not believe.
"Hemm, I'm a photographer and this place is one of my places to find inspiration" Ken said, pulling out a camera from his bag that had been next to him.
Anin stared in disbelief "you're a photographer? why is your handsome not convincing?" kekeh Anin's.
"You're even more beautiful if you laugh like that" Ken suddenly aimed his camera and photographed Anin who was laughing.
Anin reflexively covered her face with both hands in embarrassment "Why are you photographing me, my face is ugly" Anin upset that Ken took her picture without permission.
"Look" Ken handed me the camera
Anin opened her hand, took the camera in Ken's hand, unconsciously she smiled "Well, the results are very good, it turns out you are a good guy" Anin praised to make Ken's heart pound.
"That's because of her beautiful person" Praise Ken sincerely.
Anin hits Ken's arm slowly "Stop Bombing"
Ken looked at his arm that Anin hit.
"I'm sorry, I reflex" said Anin was not feeling well, her hands were sassy when they had just met.
Anin returned Ken's camera. The mood returned awkward.
But Ken, who does not like to stay for a long time, returns to find a way to talk to Anin again.
His eyes caught the flower of dandelion grass in front of him, Ken plucked it "Don't be sad or crying anymore" his outstretched hand gave a sprig of dried dandelion to Anin.
Anin grabbed it "For me?" tannya
"Do you know the philosophy of dandelion?" ask Ken
Anin nodded.
"Stay strong wherever the wind takes you far" Anin and Ken said.
The two laughed at their ridiculous manner of speaking at the same time.
Ken stared fixedly at Anin's face, his heart felt warm seeing a smile rising on the face of the beautiful girl beside him.
"Do you know those words too?" anin's question made Ken turn his face away, not wanting to be caught if he was secretly watching the girl.
"Yes..My mother's late mother who said that when I was down and feeling desperate she always encouraged me with those words" Ken cried forward, recalling the rest of his memories with his mother.
Anin was silent, it turns out that he was not alone, it turns out that Ken had also lost one of his parents.
"His late father was also as light as saying that, he always said to me be like the Dendelion Flower. To whatever extent the wind carried him flying but he could always grow in a new place, he could always, standing tall even among the weeds, even so he stayed alive"., Anin said with a sad face remembering the memories with her father.
Ken listened carefully
"It's what makes me strong and stand back no matter how many times I have to fall, even among the many obstacles" continued Anin.
Ken is more amazed at Anin, in this day and age Anin is one woman with mature thoughts that he has met.
"You're right, so stop crying and don't come to this place just because you're feeling sad, come here feeling happy" Ken told Anin.
"You insinuating me?" cynical Anin then laughed "Well, from now on I will come here happy, satisfied?" the question turns to Ken.
"This is better" Ken smiled.
Anin's phone shook, she then opened her bag, her eyes were perfectly round. There had been many missed calls from Doni since.
Anin patted the "Goodoo..Why am I so lingering here" he panicked and then stood patting the dried grass stuck to his pants.
"Is there a problem?" ask Ken to panic.
Anin draped the bag over her shoulder "I have to go back to the store"
Ken joined the stand "Let's take you" he said offering Anin a ride.
"No need, I brought the bike. I'm first well" Anin rushed over and left Ken staring at his disappearance.
"Be careful" cried Ken who was nodded by Anin.
Anin cursed himself, why could he forget the time.if Doni did not contact him he would definitely be there until nightfall.
Anin arrived at the store at exactly 5 p.m. Doni was already waiting for him in front of the store with an anxious face "Where have you been Nin?" worried about Doni when he saw Anin's presence.
"Sorry brother, Anin had a sudden affair and forgot to call brother Doni" Anin replied lying.
Doni breathed a sigh of relief "Yourself, I thought you were okay, I called your phone many times but there was no answer"
Anin's getting bad at "Hp's me silent mode"
"Yes, the important thing is that you're here.there go in, and soon we have to close the shop"
"Good brother"
Anin and Doni enter the store to clean up because soon they will close the cake shop which is only open until five in the afternoon.
Anin stretched her muscles when her motorbike reached the basement of the apartment.she was only until 7 pm due to Jakarta's traffic jammed in the afternoon.
Before boarding the elevator, Anin steeled her heart to meet Askara.
The apartment door opened when Anin attached the key card he carried.
The apartment is still dark Askara has not returned, thought Anin.
Suddenly the lights turned on making Anin choked.
"What time is it? and you just got home" Askara's voice sounded intimidating.His position was already standing in front of Anin.
Anin stared at Askara flatly "Why should you care?" anin's heartache returned when she saw Askara's cold face standing with her hands in her pants pocket.
"What kind of wife comes home when her husband is home"
Anin smiled cynically at Askara's words "Your wife said?, you just called me a wife after humiliating me in front of many people. have you forgotten?" sarkas Anin looked into Askara's eyes which were already showing anger.
Askara's anger ranted, Anin had dared to oppose him "You've got the courage now yah?" Askara walked over making Anin retreat slowly.
"What do you want?" anin's voice shakes "Don't fuck around"
The body of Anin hit the wall, Askara brought his body closer.
"You know, it's worth it" Anin could feel Askara's breathing because of their close position.
Anin pushed Askara's body away from her face "You are truly a man without a heart"
"Give me a reason why I should use my heart to you? because you're my wife? because you're pregnant with my son? that so?" askara.
"It won't change my attitude towards you" he continued.
Physically tired of working all day, now his heart must be hit with painful words from Askara "As far as Mr. Askara, I'm tired I want to rest" said Anin.
"Stop working from that place, stay in the apartment until the child is born"
Kuping Anin was hot to hear Askara say "I don't want to, you have no right to forbid me to do anything"
"You're very dissident yah"
"Whatever Mr. Askara said, the job is the only source of my life right now and just like that Mr. Askara told me to stop, I don't want to" Anin's decision remains the same.
"Then you're gonna show everyone that big belly, that you're pregnant with a rich businessman's son, are you?"
"I'm not who Mr. Askara thinks I am"
"So stop working and stay in this apartment.I'll pay you and give you whatever amount you want as long as you obey my words".
Anin stared at Askara's nanar "For you money is everything, but you forget not all things you can buy with money, just keep the money Mr. Askara, I don't need it all"
"That's just your alibi, a poor woman like you could probably refuse if it was faced with a lot of money"
Pplajak ... Anin slaps Askara, her heart is really sick getting a second humiliation from Askara.
"You dare slap me" a flash of anger was seen in Askara's eyes.
"Indeed that is what Mr. Askara deserves" Anin returned the words Askara earlier.
"I make sure you will regret Anindira" said Askara sharply.
Anin did not heed Askara's words, she was completely tired today.not only physically but also her inner self. Anin left Askara without replying to the man again.
Closing the door of his room loud enough made a deafening bang sound.
"You will feel more than this Anin" murmured Askara clenching both hands.
How's this part? Askara's words are still spicy huh?
