ANINDITA, A Tale of the Past

Happiness Meet With Leo And Sandra

After Ricky finished helping Sandra deliver food orders to customers, Ricky also drove Anindita to visit where Sandra lived.

" Come on in, Nin. Mr. Ricky ..." Sandra opened the gate of a house that was not too big and was located into an alley, unlike her house which used to be on the side of a big road. Part of the front of the house was covered with a banner that read

" Sorry, Madam. I didn't go inside because I had to get to the office." Ricky asked permission to say goodbye.

" Oh, please .. sorry for the trouble, Mr. Ricky. Thanks again." Sandra expressed her gratitude because Ricky wanted to accompany Anindita to help deliver her catering orders.

" It's okay. Oh yes, ma'am, I tipped Anin, later I told people to pick Anindita up here," said Ricky left Anindita like a parent who let his child go to play.

" I'll ask Mr. Syaiful to bring you here. I've also told Mrs Lucy that you don't work today. I'm leaving now." Ricky turned to Sandra.

" I'm sorry, Madam." said Ricky later.

" Please, Sir."

Ricky then walked away from Sandra and Anindita.

" Anin, how did you get to meet Mr Ricky? And how can you be close to him now? How is your husband?" Sandra who was curious immediately asked Anindita.

" My story will be yes, Ci. Now I want to know the story about Cici and Koh Leo why can I get to Jakarta? What happened to Koh Leo's house and minimarket? Does this have anything to do with Koh Johan, Ci?" Anindita was no less curious than Sandra.

" Oh yeah, we'll just talk inside, yuk!" Sandra took Anindita by the hand, telling her to enter her house.

" Sandra's home, huh?" Someone's voice from outside made Sandra stop her steps.

" Eh, Miss Rita. It's just, Mom. What's the matter, Miss Rita?" Sandra walked back towards the gate and opened the door for Bu Rita.

" Sandra's got guests, huh?" tanya Bu Rita looked towards Anindita.

" Any, no, Mom. It's still his own relative. How, Miss Rita, can I help you?" ask Sandra kindly.

" This is it, Mom. I want to order a box of rice for my grandson's forty-day birthday for this Sunday" Ms Rita said.

" Oh, I can, Mom. Let's go inside first." Sandra then let Ms. Rita in.

" Anin, let's go inside too. Just a minute, Nin. Cici wants to accept the order first. You sit on the couch." Sandra asks Anindita to wait for her as she gets an order request from her neighbor.

" It's okay, Ci." Anindita.

" How many boxes of rice do you want, Miss Rita?" ask Sandra.

" Fifty, same snack all of you, Ms. Sandra" said Ms. Rita.

" Well, what do you want to fill, Miss Rita?" tanya Sandra presented the box rice menu list to Bu Rita.

" I am this one, Mom. Forty-five thousand plus snack." Ms. Rita pointed at the package of rice boxes and snacks she chose." I'm DP five hundred thousand first huh, Miss Sandra." Bu Rita then gave a hundred thousand denomination money rolled into one.

" I made the receipt first, Mom." Sandra then took the receipt from under the guest table and wrote down the receipt down payment order from Bu Rita.

" This is the receipt, the money I received yes, Miss Rita." Sandra handed the advance receipt to Ms. Rita.

" Later sent before Dzuhur yes, Miss Sandra. Around eleven, half two dozen," Bu Rita's pinta returned.

" Ready, Miss Rita. Thanks for the order, Mom."

" Together, Miss Sandra. Then excuse me, ma'am." Rita said goodbye and was escorted by Sandra out of Sandra's house.

" Sorry yes, Nin. It's quite orderly." Sandra apologized for having to serve Bu Rita first.

" It's okay, Ci. I was just happy to see Cici crowded orders," said Anindita who had just noticed the interaction of Sandra and Bu Rita.

" That's fine, Nin. For the cost of school children," said Sandra low.

" Oh yeah, Ko Elvano equals Ivone what class is Ci now? Almost three years without seeing." Anindita remembers both Sandra and Koh Leo's children.

" Elvano is now fourteen years old, he's in eighth grade now, if Ivone is in second grade."

" Co Elvan is Junior High? It's a virgin, Ci?" Anindita chuckles.

" High alone is equal to Cici, Nin." Sandra also laughed.

" A minute, Nin. Pi, Papi .. This is here, look who's coming!" Sandra screaming. And shortly from inside the room came out the figure of the man who was his former boss who also looked thinner than before and walked slowly.

" Who's coming, Mi?" Koh Leo spoke slurredly by looking towards Anindita.

" Well guess what, you remember Papi?" sandra asked to test the memory of her husband, who had to undergo surgery for a minor stroke.

" Koh Leo how are you?" Anindita then got up from sitting a bit of trouble and then approached her former boss and kissed Koh Leo on the back of his hand. He was so sad to find the condition of his former boss now, that he shed his tears.

" Who is this, Mi?" koh Leo asked in shock when Anindita kissed her hand, especially when she saw Anindita crying

" The time of the Papih forgot? He's our little brother who went missing first, Pi." Sandra embraced her husband and rested her head on his arm.

" Sister?" Koh Leo's forehead is wrinkled trying to remember.

" Yes, Pi. Our employees used to live in our homes. Papi remember that?" Sandra tries to awaken Koh Leo's memory.

" A-Anin?" Koh Leo seemed surprised to know that Anindita was in front of him.

" I'm sorry, Nin. Koko's a little senile. How are you, Nin?" ask Koh Leo by saying the sentence slowly and somewhat pelo but with articulation that can still be captured clearly in the ear.

" Thank God I'm good, Koh. How about Koh Leo himself?" Anindita was still staring at the person who contributed to her life when she was having difficulties and problems.

" Yes, this is how it is, Nin." Koh Leo sighed.

" Your Koko has just had surgery due to clogged arteries, Nin. Now this is also still routine therapy to improve his condition. Fortunately we were also helped by the church so yesterday could operate, praise God, Nin." Sandra narrates.

" Thank God, Ci. Koh Leo and Ci Sandra are good people, someone will help." Anindita wiped her tears.

" Oh yeah, how did Cici and Koh Leo get to Jakarta? What happens after I get out of Koh Leo's house? Why are homes for sale and mini markets closed? Is that Koh Johan?" ask Anindita later.

" Yes, after you left, Johan did come and he went berserk, Nin. He came to the house wanting to take the house and the mini market by force. He brought his friends to drive us out. Previously he threatened to kill*nuh children if Koko refused to change the name on the certificate to be on her behalf." Sandra recounted what happened to her family while shedding tears.

" Athaghfirullahal adzim, O Allah, have the heart of Koh Johan." Anindita is shocked to hear Sandra's story.

" We didn't take her threats too seriously, but when she managed to get Ivone out of school and hold her all night in a place we didn't know where we were? We finally decided to follow his will. We dare not report to the authorities because we fear they will harm Ivone." Sandra continues to tell her family's story.

" Oh God, all this is because of me, Ci. If I hadn't gone from there, Cici and Koh Leo would have stayed at home and the store would still be open." Anindita sobbed, she felt very guilty about what happened to her former boss.

" It's all happened, Nin. There's nothing to regret. Praise God we can still survive, even though we do not live well as before, but we are still grateful for what God has loved us. And get closer to God," said Sandra wise.

" Oh yeah, how are you, Nin? How can it be in Jakarta? Did Mr Ricky bring you here?" Sandra was curious now.

" No, Ci. So when Cici took me to sell jewelry, Rama was almost lost because he was following someone to return his wallet left on the chair. And it was that person who finally brought me to Jakarta, Ci. He is now my boss, I am now working in a flower shop with that person. Her name is Ci Lucy, she reminds me of Ci Sandra, because it was kind and helped me a lot during my stay in Jakarta, Ci." Anindita recounts the beginning of her meeting with Lucy to Sandra.

" Praise God, you met a good man, Nin." Sandra responds to Anindita's story." Then how did you meet Mr Ricky, Nin?"

Anindita finally told about her meeting with Ricky including how currently she can be with the man. Anindita also told about the marriage with Arya and her husband's death about forty days ago.

" I finally experienced what happened a few years ago, Ci. I became pregnant without the father of the baby I was carrying" Anindita cried.

" Oh my God, Anin. You're patient, Nin." Sandra immediately approached Anindita and gave a hug to Anindita.

" You are strong, Nin. Every trial must have some wisdom we draw." Sandra advised Anindita.

" Yes, Ci." Anindita wiped away the tears that ended up dripping down her cheeks.

" Where are you now living after being cast out by your sisters-in-law, Nin?" ask Sandra later.

" I live in Mr. Ricky's apartment, Ci. It just so happened that my husband and Mr. Ricky were on good terms. When he found out I was being evicted, Mr. Ricky took me and Rama lived in one of his apartments. Pa Ricky said the apartment was deliberately bought for Rama, Ci." said Anindiya.

" Praise God, Nin. There are still good people around you." Sandra rubbed Anindita's back.

" Yes, Ci. Now it's only getting closer to meeting Ci Sandra and Koh Leo. I'm so happy it feels." Anindita hugged Sandra like her own family. He really felt the happiness of reuniting with Koh Leo and Sandra.

***

Anindita took the jewelry box from inside her wardrobe. He then took Sandra's necklace which he had given to Anindita several years ago, as a provision when he came out of Koh Leo's house. Anindita felt grateful the jewelry was still intact and she did not sell. He intends to return the jewelry and the money of five million rupiah first to Sandra. He also intends to provide additional money he has for Sandra's catering business capital to be more advanced.

The next day, Anindita returned to work as usual and since today is a weekend, there will usually be more orders than the usual day.

" So Anin finally reunited with former Boss Mbak Anin first?" mita asked Anindita while wrapping a baby's breath bouquet using a flower wrapping paper for a bridal bouquet to be sent later in the afternoon.

" Yes, Ms. Mita, I am very happy to finally meet those who have helped me during my hardship first." Anindita could not hide her happiness.

" Thank God, Ma'am." Mita.

Teett

Anindita and Mita turned to the door as a motion sensor bell rang as a beautiful woman walked into the Alabama Florist store of the Angkasa Raya apartment branch.

" Assalamualaikum Hai, Anin .." said Rachel who appeared from outside the flower shop.

" Waalaikumsalam, Sister Rachel." Anindita nodded as she walked over to Rachel.

" Anin, I'm waiting here is okay, right? I have an appointment with Mr. Ricky to look around the apartment because I am interested in buying an apartment unit here" said Rachel later.

" Oh, please, Rachel's mother." Anindita invites Rachel to sit down.

" Thank you, Anin." Rachel went to the sofa, wait.

" Mom Rachel wants to move into this apartment too?" ask Anindita.

" Hmmm, yes, Nin. Hope the price is right" said Rachel.

" Yes, just wait here, Ma'am. I want to help Mama Mita work on some orders for the wedding later in the afternoon." Anindita asks permission to leave Rachel.

" Oh, please, Anin. Sorry to interrupt ...."

" It's okay, Ma'am. Excuse me first ..." Anindita also helped re-arrange the bouquets of flowers.

" Mrs Rachel, what do you want to see Mr. Ricky, Ms. Anin?" ask Mita to investigate.

" I don't know, Ma'am." Anindita pressed her shoulders.

" Be careful, if Mr. Ricky is close to another woman, Ma'am," whispered Mita.

" Why, Mother?"

" If Mr. Ricky falls in love with Ms. Rachel, what will he do?" ask Mita.

" What's what?" Anindita asked back.

" Who will Anin be with? I'd rather Mr. Ricky be with Anin than with Ms. Rachel. It does not feel willing to be born inner if until Mr. Ricky is the same as Ms. Rachel," protested Mita glanced cynically at Rachel.

While Anindita only sighed to hear Mita's protest that showed dislike with Rachel's closeness with Ricky.
