ANINDITA, A Tale of the Past

Give a Chance

" Rama come on, son. Don't play the water for a long time in the wind!" yelled Anindita when she heard Ramadhan playing soap foam in the bathtub.

" Later, Ma. The bus is not over." Ramadhan.

" Rama get down from there quickly, later Mama rinse with warm water from the shower." Anindita told Ramadhan to get out of the bathtub, because if he did not do that his son would continue to linger in the bathroom.

" Ma, later at home we make rich gini yes, Ma! So Rama took a shower in the bucket again" Ramadhan said, chuckling.

" If the bathroom is like this is a person whose house is big so it can make the bathroom like this." Anindita explained.

" Yes, Mama just make a big house, Ma. Let's have a bathroom like this."

Anindita just smiled at the babbling of her son.

" Let's get dressed!" anindita said after she dried her child's body.

Ddrrtt

" Mama, the phone sounds." Ramadhan pointed to his mother's phone placed on the nightstand as Anindita dressed her son.

" Rama learned to button his own clothes, yes!" pinta Anindita then grabbed her phone and it turned out that Lucy was the one who was currently contacting her.

" Hello, Ci .. What's up, Ci?" greet Anindita as she picks up the phone call.

" Nin, what are you? Still at the hotel or already at Mr Arya's house?" ask Lucy.

" I'm still at the hotel, Ci. Tomorrow morning just moved to Mas Arya's house."

" Oh, that's ...."

" Did that guy there come back there, Ci?" ask Anindita curious.

" Hmmm .. Yes, Nin."

" Cici didn't tell me I was here, did she, Ci?" Anindita was suddenly worried. He felt like a fugitive who had to hide from people.

" No, Nin. Cici didn't tell me where you are now, but ..." Lucy paused her sentence .

" But what, Ci?"

" He told me everything the same Cici from the beginning of the night, Nin."

Deg

Anindita swallows her saliva while her heart thumps as Lucy says the man told her about the dark events of the night.

" It turns out that all this time he's been looking for you, Nin. He sent people off for five years, until he mistook people and finally met your boss's family where you lived first. And it's from your former boss that he knows about Ramadan." Lucy told him everything Ricky told Anindita.

As soon as Anindita's chest feels tight, all the events that Lucy says are mainly about how she used to live with Koh Leo and Sandra exactly as she was.

" Nin, Cici rasa .. You better give her a chance to talk. He said he just wanted to apologize and meet with Ramadan. He wants to convey his regret and has no intention of taking Ramadan away from you."

Anindita took a breath that felt choked in her throat.

" You know what, Nin? It turns out that Papa Rama is not a random person. He's one of the higher-ups in the big firm Angkasa Raya."

Anindita widened her eyes when Lucy mentioned the name Angkasa Raya, because she knew the company was a bona fide company.

" Cici was afraid, if you dodge and do not give him a chance to talk, he will desperately take Rama, Nin away. He's a money man, all this time he's been persistent in finding your whereabouts, and now it's not impossible that he'll be able to find you even though you're trying to hide from him" Lucy continued.

" Because after all he was the father of Rama, his bond with Rama was very strong."

Anindita sighed, "Yes, Ci. I'll discuss it with Mas Arya first."

" Yes, Nin. It's best to talk about this with Mr. Arya first. I think Mr. Arya can understand."

" Yes, Ci ...."

Anindita then turned to look towards Ramadhan which turned out to have spilled powder all over his face until now the handsome face of the boy covered with thick powder.

" Oh my goodness, Rama .. Why is his face covered with powder?" Anindita approached her son.

" Let's rich clown, Ma." Ramadan giggles.

" Why Rama, Nin?" Lucy who was still on the phone asked.

" His face is covered in thick baby powder, Ci. Let rich clowns say it."

Lucy chuckles at Anindita's explanation.

" Yes, you take care of Rama there, Nin. Cici just hang up the phone, yeah!"

" Yes, Ci."

Anindita then put her phone back after Lucy hung up her phone and cleaned the face of Ramadan covered with baby powder.

***

Arya noticed the car parked in the courtyard of her service home. Arya recalls the car belonged to the man who was the biological father of Ramadan.

Arya's jaw suddenly hardened to find the luxury car in the yard of his house, he then turned to look inside his house. Then rushed into his house.

" Assalamualaikum .." said Arya when she found her mother chatting with Ricky.

" Waalaikumsalam, well .. that's her Arya came." Mom Arya.

" Good afternoon, Mr. Arya." Ricky stood up to greet Arya.

" What do you need to do here?" ketus Arya is not friendly.

" Arya, Mr. Ricky said there is a need for you," said Mama Arya.

" Yes, please talk, Mama stay." Mama Arya directly directed her automatic pushchair into the room.

" Where do you know where I live? And what have you told my mama?" Arya asked while looking suspiciously.

" Is it okay to talk here?" ask Ricky.

Arya thought for a moment then said, "Come with me!" Arya then walks up the stairs followed by Ricky.

" Please sit ..." Arya lets Ricky sit in the family room upstairs.

" I'm sorry, Mr. Arya .. if my arrival here is not pleasing to you. I hope Mr. Arya doesn't consider me an enemy. I realized what I had done to Mr. Arya's future wife was wrong and I deeply regret that. But believe me .. I am not the bad guy Mr. Arya thinks I am. " At last Ricky told Arya from the beginning of the incident until finally saw Anindita deliver flowers in the apartment of Angkasa Raya Landmark.

Arya let out a long sigh after hearing Ricky's explanation.

" I have no intention of doing evil to Miss Anindita. I want to be given the opportunity to apologize and express my regret. And I also hope to be given the opportunity to carry out my obligations towards Ramadan as my biological child."

" If Miss Anindita thinks I'm going to take Ramadhan, it's not true at all and I never thought it was that bad. Miss Anindita has already suffered because of my actions, where perhaps I will hurt her." Ricky confirms his intentions and goals to Arya.

" I beg Mr. Arya's understanding to give me the opportunity to meet with Miss Anin and to explain the real thing that happened" Ricky asked expectantly.
