ANINDITA, A Tale of the Past

Special In The Heart

" Ciee, ciee ... who was dating Mas brewok yesterday, what was the date,? Success?" Yeti who had just seen Anindita immediately teased the mother-daughter one.

" Where are you dating, Ma'am Anin?" Mita also follow kepo.

Anindita only blushed getting a plunge from her colleagues and certainly made her cheeks already met because her colleagues were teasing her.

" It's normal, Ma'am. Just eat and accompany Rama to play." Anindita told me the truth.

" What are we talking about again? He said love, didn't he?" Mita is getting curious.

" No, nothing, really." Anindita tried to deny when last night Arya expressed her intention to establish a serious relationship with him.

" You didn't ask Mas Arya, where are you going to go? Want to be taken where our relationship is, if you keep procrastinating, and never declare love ..." Yeti ended his question by chanting Armada's thrash

" I have to ask what is it? I'm self-conscious, Ma'am. I was just a shopkeeper, whereas Mas Arya was apparently a principal of the State Junior High School, where might I expect in that direction." Anindita tried to think realistically.

" Oh, is Mas Arya the principal? It deserves that authoritative character," chirped the Yeti later.

" Who's the principal?" asked Lucy who was suddenly already standing at the door of her study.

" Eh, Cici ..."

Mita, Yeti and Anindita are misbehaved because they are caught in the work time.

" Anin, get in my room!" lucy said then went back into her room.

Anindita also obeyed the orders of her superiors.

" What did Cici call me?" anindita asked as she closed Lucy's door.

Lucy who saw the arrival of Anindita immediately pulled Anindita's hand and directed Anindita to sit on the sofa.

" How was last night, smoothly?" lucy was still holding Anindita's hand.

Lucy's attitude is not much different from Yeti and Mita who seem curious to make Anindita's eyes wide. Lucy immediately transformed like a carpenter who wanted to know about the affairs of others.

" Yes .. That's it, Ci." Anindita looks confused to answer what.

" Well that's what it's like, Nin?" Lucy moved closer and closer, impatiently waiting for an answer from Anindita.

" Yes ... Mas Arya said she wanted to have a serious relationship with me, Ci." Anindita chooses to be honest with Lucy because Lucy already knows her life story.

" Yess ...!!" Lucy clenched her hand into the air. Lucy looks enthusiastic about Arya's request to Anindita.

" What do you say, Nin? You accepted Arya's request?"

Anindita looked at Lucy while shaking her head.

" I'm confused, Ci." Anindita said softly.

" What makes you confused?"

" My past, Ci." Anindita. " Profession Mas Arya, he turned out to be a school principal, I don't want him to be humiliated because of my past. What would happen if the guardian of the student at the school Mas Arya knew if the principal married a woman of unclear origin like me? I really can't imagine that." Anindita shook her head while massaging her temple.

" Hmmm, does Arya know anything about Rama?" ask Lucy carefully.

" No, Ci. But I intend to inform Mas Arya immediately, so that she can consider it. It was better for Mas Arya to retreat from the beginning than she should know later." The words spoken from Anindita's mouth were pessimistic.

Lucy patted Anindita on the shoulder as she said, "Cici wish you all the best, Nin."

Anindita looked at Lucy with teary eyes due to the taste of haru. Seeing Lucy's kindness reminds her of Sandra.

" Thank you Cici has been so kind to me and Rama all this time " Anindita saw her son who was engrossed in playing seriously with a toy that Arya gave him over the playmat in Lucy's work room

As time goes on, Ricky is still preoccupied with his task of reimagining the troubled subsidiary Angkasa Raya Group in Kalimantan. Strangely the problems experienced by the legacy company of Mr. Poetra Laksmana was really time-consuming. He almost forgot about his personal business.

While in Jakarta, Anindita herself increasingly aggressively approached by Arya. Although Anindita has told about her true condition in order for Arya to undo her intention to marry him, but Arya, a mature man with one child aged thirty-six years, seemed unyielding to melt the heart of Anindita who still looks doubtful to him. Especially when Anindita was introduced to Arya's daughter, it seems that Arya's child did not really like to see Arya close to Anindita.

" Nin, this weekend my mom wants to see you. Are you ready to meet my mom?" arya asked while calling Anindita at night after Anindita put Ramadan to bed. Now Arya has never used my formal word when talking to Anindita even though Anindita herself still does not change her call.

" A-this weekend, Mom?" Anindita gasps at Arya's plan to introduce herself to Mama Arya.

" Yes, we'll find a dress for you and Rama, yeah! This weekend we'll have dinner together, there's the Princess too." Arya mentioned her daughter's name.

Anindita took a breath that suddenly felt tight. Meeting Arya's family, especially with Mama Arya especially with Arya's child who clearly does not like her is the toughest thing she has to face

" What should you be afraid of? My mom's a good person, really" Arya tried to calm down.

" But your mama doesn't know my past yet, Mum." Anindita still felt unsettled even though Arya tried to give understanding to Anindita.

" Mommy already knows you're a single parent, Nin."

" But Mama Mas Arya doesn't know how Rama came from, does she?"

" We're talking about that slowly, yeah! Now let your mom know you first. If you know you, I'm sure whatever your past is, you'll accept you, Nin." Arya repeatedly tries to build up Anindita's confidence so as not to be inferior to her past.

" Nin, how are you with Arya?" lucy asked when Anindita asked Lucy to go to her room because she wanted to tell Anindita to go to the bank. Lucy has heard the story from Anindita if Arya does not mind Anindita's past. So Lucy thinks that Arya is the right person to be a companion for Anindita and become a father for Ramadhan.

" In fact this weekend Mas Arya is planning to introduce me to her parents, Ci." Finally Anindita honestly said Arya's plan that wanted her to meet with Mama Arya.

" Wah .. that's good, dong! The sooner you get to know Aryan's parents the sooner you can also formalize your relationship later." Lucy looks excited.

" But I'm still scared, Ci."

" What else are you afraid of, Nin? Arya is good, the person ...."

" If Mas Arya were the Cici family, would Cici be willing to marry Mas Arya, to a pregnant woman out of wedlock like me?"

Lucy was speechless, she did not answer quickly what Anindita asked.

" Cici knows you're a good man, Nin. It's just the past, after all you're innocent of your past." Lucy was trying to be wise.

" Cici wants to see you live happily, Nin. Not only constantly have to slam bones looking for money to bear your life and Rama. It's time to lean on someone's shoulder that makes you feel comfortable. And Cici see, Arya is the right person for you to rely on, Nin. Not because of her social life, but because of her attitude that is very attentive to you also Rama."

Anindita sighed, if everyone she faced was as good as Lucy, Sandra and Koh Leo, and could be as open-minded as they were maybe she would not feel discouraged as she is today.

Anindita was mopping the floor of the Alabama Florist room when the doorbell rang followed by the appearance of a tall athletic and handsome man with several packs of cardboard famous donuts in his hands.

" Yes, Mas Arya came ...!" The Yeti cries out for Arya's presence. " Bring us a tribute, don't we, Mas?" The Yeti came straight for Arya

" Yes, make it for the officers here. Don't forget to separate for Rama," pinta Arya while offering some donut cardboard.

" Well, thank you, Chief." The Yeti chuckles at receiving the food parcel from Arya.

" This is for you too Rama, Nin." Arya then handed over 1 bag of goodie bag to Anindita who was still holding the mop in her hand that afternoon.

" How can Mbak Anin be any different, Mas?" mita protests giggle.

" Dong different, Mit. If for Ayank anyway, his special love, dong!" Yeti.

" Could, dong! Especially for the special at heart." Arya returned quickly to the care of Mita and Yeti while winking her eyes at Anindita, making Anindita blink her eyes with a face that had begun to blush.
