ANINDITA, A Tale of the Past

Taking Responsibility of Anindita

Anindita was curious about what Tita had just said about the kiss. What did Tita's words mean about kissing.

" What does Ma'am Tita mean?" ask Anindita.

" Ah, no, Mom. It's nothing, forget it." Tita shook her hands in the air.

" Sir, don't lie to me! What did Ma'am Tita mean? Who's kissing?" Anindita urged Tita to honestly say what she meant. He felt that Tita was hiding something behind him.

" Oh, how is this?" Tita scratched her head that did not itch. Tita realizes that she just slipped into talking about the incident in Anindita's room when Arya died. Actually, he was warned by Ricky and Mama Arya not to tell Anindita about this.

" Sir, tell me, who did Mba Tita mean?" Anindita keeps pressuring Tita to tell her what happened.

" Of ..." Tita is wrong.

" If Mbak Tita does not want to be honest with me, you should not have to work here again!" threaten Anindita so Tita can talk honestly.

" Oh, don't do that, Mom. I'm at home with Ms. Anin." Tita refused to be banned from working with Anindita.

" Don't lie to me then!"

" Hmmm, what's the story?" Tita looks confused.

" Hurry up and don't beat around the bush!"

" Hmmm, so .. so when it's time to finish Mr. Arya's first tahlil, I'll pass out. And when I realized, I hallucinated that Mr. Ricky was Mr. Arya ...."

Anindita's face stiffened instantly hearing Tita's unfinished story. He suspected that something had happened while he was hallucinating and that it made his heart beat. He hoped that what happened was not as bad as he thought.

" When I saw Mr. Ricky coming, I thought it was Mr. Arya, and I hugged Mr. Ricky. I kissed Mr. Ricky's face and kissed Mr. Ricky's lips."

As if stung by a high voltage Anindita when hearing the continuation of the story told by Tita, who said if she had kissed Ricky. Anindita seemed to not believe what she had done. What a shameful act. When she lost her husband, she kissed another man.

" Mom Tita don't joke, Ma'am. I can't do that!" Anindita tried to deny what Tita said.

" Geez, Mom. What am I lying for? I just saw it until I was shocked, but not long after that mom fainted again."

" I love Mas Arya very much, Ma'am! Where could I be so." Anindita keeps trying to brush off the reality told by Tita.

" But the truth is like that, Mom. If you don't believe me, just try asking Ms. Fatma if you meet Ms. Fatma again." Tita even mentioned another witness who knew of the incident.

Anindita gasped in shock when she heard Fatma's mother, her mother-in-law also knew of the incident.

" Mama know about that?" Anindita rounded her eyeballs.

" Yes, Mom. Fatma's mother was also dumbfounded when Mom suddenly called Mas Arya but she hugged Mr. Ricky."

" O Allah, Astaghfirullahal adzim ..." Anindita held her head and shook it. " Mama must be disappointed with me, Ma'am. Mama must hate me." Anindita immediately sobbed while covering her face with both hands.

" No, really. Ma'am. Fatma doesn't hate Mom." Tita who saw Anindita crying immediately rubbed Anindita's back asking Anindita to calm down.

" Fatma's mother told me to go out and talk to Ricky. But I know myself Mother Fatma still be kind to Bu Anin, even when the sisters Mas Arya kicked Mother, Ms Fatma even cry because she felt sad with the attitude of her children." Tita tried to calm Anindita who was still sobbing. Tita suspects that Anindita feels very guilty for what happened that night.

Ricky just finished tidying up Ramadhan's sleeping position after he recited the fairy tale Kancil And Crocodile for his son.

Ddrrtt

The notification on Ricky's phone rang making the man then reach for the flat object. He saw the incoming message from Tita.

" Sir, forgive me. I was flippant about what happened in Mr. Arya's room when Ms. Anin was hallucinating."

Ricky immediately frowned reading a message from Tita. And he quickly made a phone call to Tita's number.

" Hello ...."

" Why did you tell Anin about it? I told you not to let him know about this!" Ricky looks furious because of Tita's carelessness, Anindita to find out the events that are certainly very embarrassing for Anindita..

" I'm sorry, Sir. I admit to being wrong," said Tita.

" What about Anin now?" ask Ricky.

" You also told Anin that Fatma's mother knew about this?"

" I-yes, sir."

" Geez, Tita! Why is your mouth so hard to lock?!" Ricky was really upset by what Tita was doing.

" Yes sorry, sir."

" Is Anin still crying?"

" Mom's asleep, sir."

" Yes, please don't ever tell anyone about it again, you understand?!"

" I-yes, Sir. I understand."

Ricky then immediately hung up his phone call and tried to lie down while staring at Ramadan who had fallen asleep to dreamland.

" Papa's promise will make Rama and Mama Anin happy forever." Ricky rubbed Ramadhan's head and kissed his son's forehead.

Anindita looks at her husband's face on the portrait of Arya.

" Mommy, I'm sorry. I have disappointed you. But I really don't intend to do that, Mas. Hicks ..." Anindita sniffed by crouching Arya's photo frame. But before long he blinked as a hand stroked his head making Anindita immediately open her eyes and loosen her face upwards.

" Arya's Mas?" Anindita immediately hugged Arya's body and immediately cried loudly. " She, I'm sorry, I've desecrated our marriage." Anindita felt like she had betrayed her husband.

" May ...."

Anindita flinched as she heard someone's voice, which she knew was not the voice of her husband making her look up again. And her eyes are now wide open when she finds out that the man she's hugging right now is Ricky not Arya, her husband.

" P-Sir Ricky?" Anindita immediately broke her embrace and rose away from Ricky, but Ricky's hand blocked Anindita's arm, until Anindita's step stopped, even Anindita's body was in the grip of Ricky's muscular body.

" B-Bapa want what? Release me!" Anindita tried to break away.

" I want to hold you accountable, Anin."

" Liability? I-I mean Father what? What do you want me to take responsibility for?" anindita looked at Ricky's eyes in confusion.

" The responsibility because you've already taken me without my permission!"

Anindita was wide-eyed at Ricky's words with a flushed face holding back the shame.

" Because you have dared to punish me, in return I will do as you have done to me some time ago" threatening Ricky made Anindita stunned especially when it was felt Ricky's lips were getting closer to his lips.

As the man's lips approached, instead of dodging, Anindita closed her eyes until she felt a warm touch of Ricky's lips on hers. Even when Ricky's lips do melu*mat Anindita as if washed to open his lips makes Ricky directly attack the oral cavity Anindita, until the sound le*nguh sounded on Anindita's lips. Ricky not only attacked by kissing Anindita's lips, now the man began wetting Anindita's neck and cheeks with kisses made Anindita squirm.

" Mommy, wake up .. cup .. cup ..."

Anindita immediately blinked her eyes when she heard the sound of Ramadan right in her ears. He was then immediately flabbergasted when he found his son was kissing his cheek.

" R-Rame?"

" Hiyaji ... Mama Kegelian yes was kissed Rama?" Ramadan giggles.

Anindita got up with one left hand holding her chest, the other hand massaging the temple.

" Yes, God. Why do I dream like that?"
