ANINDITA, A Tale of the Past

Acquaintance

Ricky glanced at the rearview mirror, he saw a woman holding a small child entering a pick-up car that had just delivered a bouquet of flowers. Instantly he remembered Anindita and Ramadhan, two people who were looking for him, but until now he had not been found.

Ricky himself did not understand, it had been more than a year he returned to find Anindita but it seems very difficult to find traces of the woman. He felt that this might be the punishment God had given him for his former actions.

Suddenly Ricky held his chest as he exited the courtyard of the Angkasa Raya Group office building. I don't know why suddenly his heart was beating so fast. The same thing he felt a few years ago.

" What's up, Rick?" dirga asked as she watched Ricky put a palm on the chest of the man who had been working with her papa for a long time.

" I don't know, sir. I feel my heart beating faster. Just like a few years ago when Pak Bima had an accident." Ricky recalled what happened a few years ago.

" I hope nothing happens, Rick. Because you will be assigned to the island," said Dirga.

" I hope it's like that too, sir." Ricky.

He also concentrated on driving a sports car owned by his boss. Without him realizing if the woman and child he was carrying was the person he had been looking for for four years. Ricky never expected if the person he was difficult to find was nearby just a few meters away from him earlier.

" Buehva ...!! Aawww ....!!"

Brraaakkk

Anindita immediately took off the bouquet in her hand and ran out of the store when she heard the screams of Lucy calling her son's name, plus the sound of falling objects.

Anindita looked at the wreath board that had fallen down below. He saw Rama crying in the arm of a man.

" Rama, honey." Anindita immediately ran to grab the body of her son from the man.

" Nin, sorry .. earlier Rama got down from the car immediately ran and the wreath board was hit by the wind and fell almost hit the body of Rama. Fortunately, there is this Mas who quickly pulled the body of Rama so not until the fall of the board." Lucy explains it first before Anindita asks what happened.

" Thank you, Mom. Helped my son." Anindita quickly thanked the man who helped Ramadan.

" Yes, you're welcome, Mother." The man disobeyed.

" Little sister don't cry anymore, yeah!" The man rubbed the head of Ramadan. " He seemed to have been shocked to cry" she explained.

" Yes, thank you again, Mom." Anindita hugged her body a little.

" You'd better take Rama inside, Nin. He's drowsy too, huh." Lucy asks Anindita to bring her son in to calm down because it looks like Ramadan is still sobbing.

" Yes, Ci." Anindita then glanced at the man who had helped Ramadan. " Excuse me ..." Anindita said goodbye to the man.

" Who's that guy, Nin?" tanya Yeti glanced at the helper man who at that time happened to want to order a bouquet when Anindita returned to the store with Ramadan.

Anindita turned her head in the direction the Yeti pointed. He saw the man who helped his son was looking at him while throwing a smile, making himself forced to smile back at the man.

" Beauty him, Nin." Yeti whispered that Anindita immediately cut off her eyes from the man.

" Why is that handsome, Ma'am?" tanya Anindita turned her head towards the Yeti.

" It would be good to be Rama's father. I think there will be rich happenings in soap operas. A man helps a child who is almost wretched, do not know it turns out that the child's flesh and blood that has never met for a long time." Yeti chuckles.

Anindita sighs at the Yeti's claws. Then he turned back to the man who also happened to be looking back at him, making Anindita immediately turned her face. She felt ashamed that she had stolen the man's sight.

One month passed ...

Ricky has already flown to Kalimantan and is focused on taking care of the troubled company there. But he did not stop his efforts to find the whereabouts of Anindita and Ramadhan.

Meanwhile in Jakarta, Anindita herself continues to busy herself with her work as an Alabama Florist employee. While Ramadan every day Lucy always brought her children to school.

Tets

The bell rang out as the entrance opened and a man walked into the Alabama Florist store.

" Good day, can anyone help? Looking for what flowers, Mom?" asked Mita, one of the servants serving the man.

" I'm looking for a bouquet of gifts that are suitable for parents' birthdays, what are you?" ask the man.

" A minute, Mom." Mita immediately showed me some of the bouquet designs from the computer screen.

" Please, you can choose the preferred design," said Mita.

" okay." The man saw some designs.

" I'll choose this one, Ma'am." The man then chose a bouquet of tulips and a baby breath.

" How much is that, Ma'am?" The man took the wallet out of his pocket

" One million two hundred and fifty thousand, Mas."

" good, Mas. Please wait a minute." Mita let the man wait on the sofa after making the payment.

After a few minutes Anindita brought the bouquet she had assembled forward.

" Mr Mita, this has become her hand bouquet. Put it where?" ask Anindita.

" That, given to Mas who wears a gray shirt, Mba Anin." Mita pointed at the direction of the man who ordered the bouquet of tulips.

Anindita also walked over to the man Mita meant.

" Excuse me, Mas. Here's the order's already done." Anindita greeted the man who looked serious with her phone. But his forehead immediately frowned as the man turned his head towards him. He found a man who a few weeks ago helped Ramadan who was almost hit by a flower board.

Likewise with the man who seemed a little surprised when he found Anindita was already standing before him.

" Sorry, Mas. Who ordered this bouquet?" ask Anindita later.

" Oh yeah." The man received the hand bouquet from Anindita. " You were the one who yesterday brought the little boy who almost fell the wreath, right?" It seemed that the man still remembered Anindita.

" I-yes, this is the one who used to nolongin, huh?" reply Anindita.

" Yes, you remember me too, huh?" ask the man again.

" Oh, i-iya .." Anindita replied nervously.

" Where is his son now?"

" Taken between schools the shop owner's children, Mas."

" Oh .. What's your son's name?"

" Rama."

" Rama Sinta?" the man's chirping made Anindita chuckle. And the man's forehead immediately frowned at the little laughter of Anindita and also showed a row of neat teeth as well as a face that looked beautiful.

Anindita instantly stopped her laughter as the man looked like he was looking at her.

" I'm sorry, excuse me, Mom." Anindita then turned her body wanting to go back into the room continuing her activities but the man's voice held her back.

" Wait ..."

" Is there anything else I need to help you with, Mom?" ask Anindita.

" Can we get acquainted? I'm Arya, may I know your name?"

The man's request suddenly made Anindita round her eyeballs. Especially when the man reached out to her.

" S-I'm Anin." Inevitably Anindita also received a helping hand of the man named Arya.

" You work here, right?"

" iii."

" Can we change HP numbers? Talking at work and during work hours is bad." Arya reasoned.

" A No HP?"

" Yes, you have a cell phone, right?"

" Hmmm, yes ..."

" May I have your HP number?"

" U-for what?" Instantly Anindita felt uncomfortable with Arya's request to save her phone number.

Anindita has never felt the name of dating, although since the girls used to be many men who want it. But he never responded because he was more focused on working and making money to survive. But that doesn't mean he doesn't know the reason if a man asks for a woman's phone number. Of course it is because of the attraction of the man to the woman. However it applied to him, he felt it was a very impossible thing. A handsome man who looks like a person can be attracted to him.
