ANINDITA, A Tale of the Past

Lose Quickly

Ricky and Arya walked together behind Anindita and Ramadhan who were laughing cheerfully. Anindita and Ramadhan are really like an employer who is being escorted by two handsome bodyguards.

Ricky and Arya look at the two mothers and their children with different thoughts. If Arya thinks how happy they are if they have become a family, while Ricky is more focused on Ramadan the son who is four years more never met. Ricky was happy because he was finally able to meet his flesh and blood.

" Oh yes, Mr. Arya. I heard from Rama if you and Miss Anindita are getting married soon. I congratulate you on your plans." Ricky starts a conversation with Arya.

" Rama talks like that?" Arya gasps to find out if Ramadhan told Ricky about his wedding plans.

Ricky nodded his head answering Arya's question.

" Yes, two months to come we're getting married. You don't mind 'd I marry the mother of your son, Mr Ricky?" ask Arya.

" Oh, of course not, Mr. Arya. Miss Anindita deserves a companion who loves her very much, and I think you are a very suitable man to accompany Miss Anindita, Mr. Arya." Ricky said straightforwardly.

" Rama looks happy when he says he will have Papa." Ricky's next sentence sounded bitter.

" I'm just Papa connecting for Rama, You're Papa's birth. If the time is right Rama will definitely know who you really are for him." Arya tries to raise Ricky's heart.

" And I hope that when that time comes, Rama does not hate me because of my mistreatment of his mother " Ricky's tone sounded a little quivering and Arya understood that Ricky was enduring deep regret.

" Anin always educates her children with positive things. He always taught kindness to Rama. I think Rama will be able to understand and forgive what you did to Anin, Mr. Ricky."

" Yes, I hope so too." Ricky then turned his gaze towards Arya.

" I hope that if Mr. Arya and Ms. Anindita get married, Mr. Arya can love Rama like his own son." Ricky conveys his hope to Arya, making Arya stop her steps and Ricky stop stepping.

" Without you asking, I've been doing that for a long time, Mr. Ricky," sahut Arya, smiling and then stepping back to leave Ricky who was still silent but soon followed Arya's step into the restaurant chosen by Ramadan.

" What would Rama eat, honey?" asked Anindita when they arrived at the fried chicken restaurant flour from Uncle Sam's Country.

" Rama wants a burger, Ma." Ramadhan.

" Rama eat rice first, baby. Eat the burger later take it home." Anindita advises her son.

" No, Ma. Rama wants a burger." Ramadhan is heartened.

" Rama, Rama's son Sholeh, must obey what is said to be the same Mama, yes!" Arya quickly advised Ramadan.

" But Rama wants to eat a burger first, Om." Ramadan remains opposed to what Anindita and Arya have said.

" Rama, Rama heard what Mama asked for, son. If Rama does not want to hear what Mama asked, then Om will not take Rama for a walk in the mall again. I don't want to buy Rama's toys anymore. Rama wants?" Ricky posed little threat to his son.

" No, Om." Ramadhan quickly shook his head.

" Then Rama must follow what Mama said, yes!" firmly Ricky.

" Yes, Om." Ramadan obeys what Ricky asks.

Ricky's attitude that easily affects Ramadan upset Anindita. He felt the threat posed to Ramadan was wrong.

" I hope that Master did not poison my son with the attitude of the Master earlier!" ketus Anindita immediately reacted.

" I'm sorry, you mean Miss?" Ricky gasped at Anindita's words.

" I don't want my son to be a spoiled child. We must receive rewards first in order to follow our will. I don't think that's a wise attitude." Anindita protested by looking at Ricky in annoyance.

" Oh, I'm sorry for what I said, miss. I promise I won't do that again. Again I'm sorry." Ricky quickly offered his apology. He also looked at the beautiful eyes of Anindita who then turned away her beautiful face that looked filled with emotion.

" Yes, Rama is coming with Om, yuk! So Rama chose his toy gift," Ricky asked later.

" Come on, Om." Ramadhan took Ricky's hand.

" Oh yeah, Miss Anin and Mr. Arya want what message?" bargain Ricky

" Let me order it myself." Arya refuses Ricky's offer.

" It's okay Mr. Arya. Let's just say it's a treat from me because soon you'll be a family" Ricky said sincerely.

But somehow Ricky's words seemed to not hit in Anindita's heart.

" Why, Nin? You said you were hungry too, right?" ask Arya wonder.

" I don't have an appetite, Mom." Anindita glanced at Ricky who was still standing yet started to queue for food.

" You must eat dong, Nin. You told Rama to eat, but you didn't want to eat. Later you will even get sick because of late eating." This time Arya advised Anindita.

" Or do you want me to feed you?" arya's Goda makes Anindita turn to Arya who is smelling a smile by playing both of her eyebrows. And it instantly made the red hue on Anindita's face start to show.

" I'll take the food." Ricky who saw the moment of intimacy Anindita and Arya chose to go to queue for food because he did not want to disturb them both.

***

Ricky laid his body on the couch in his room. He had just returned after taking Ramadan home. Actually when meeting with Anindita, Anindita invited Ramadhan to come home together but Ramadan refused. Ramadhan still wants to be with Ricky and it just so happens that Anindita and Arya still have the need to choose the invitation card design. It was only late in the afternoon that he met with Arya to deliver Ramadan. Because Anindita does not allow Ricky to take Rama directly to Arya's house. Anindita just doesn't want to sound bad gossip because she receives another male guest especially if the neighbors know if Ricky is Ramadan's father. Because as far as we know the neighbors around Anindita are the future wives of the owner of the house. All this time he lived there alone there was always an unpleasant grapevine heard from the neighbors there especially if he let Ricky often there.

Ddrrtt

Ricky immediately grabbed his phone as the flat object shook.

" Hello, Des?" Ricky answered the incoming phone call from his sister Dessy.

" Hello Brother. Ricky's brother went home, huh? Sorry I had a patient who wanted to give birth" said Dessy.

" Yes it's okay." Ricky.

" Did Brother Ricky bring my niece here?" ask Dessy. Ricky told his sister about Ramadan.

" Yes, I brought Rama to see Donny." Ricky called Dessy's son's name.

" Ohh, it's a pity that I'm no longer home" said Dessy.

" Next time you play again at your house."

" Sister Ricky tell me first if you want to come here, brother. So I can meet Rama."

" Yes, I'll let you know again if you want to play there."

" Donny was very happy to meet Rama, brother. Brother must often bring Rama to play here so Donny has a friend, brother."

" If you invite him to meet Donny later that there is time Rama seized for Donny all. When is it time for his brother, Dong? My brother only spent a day with him."

" If you want to be with Rama forever, you just marry Mama Rama" said Dessy Tekekeh.

Ricky laughed at Dessy's words.

" Why laugh, brother? Brother has already impregnated him, it should have been from the beginning Brother married him, let alone Brother said Mama Rama is beautiful people."

" He already has a husband."

" Well, is he getting married? Does the candidate know about Rama, brother?"

" Know and don't dispute that."

" Yeah, Ricky's brother lost fast, dong! Eh, but before the yellow janur curved, everything could have happened, brother." Dessy giggles.

" Hey, I'm not some guy's wife-to-be, yeah!" sergeant Ricky fast.

" Not the future wife but the usurper of the sanctity of Mama Rama more precisely," ledek Dessy quipped her brother.

" Look out, yeah!" Ricky laughed with his sister.
