ANINDITA, A Tale of the Past

Welcome to Malang

" Mom ...!!" ramadan exclaims when he sees Anindita waiting for him at a seafood restaurant. This afternoon after checking out from the hotel, Anindita and Arya pick up Ramadan which for almost two days was entrusted to Ricky.

" Rome ..." Anindita who saw the emergence of Ramadan immediately welcomed her son who ran towards her.

" Good day, Mr. Arya." said Ricky to Arya.

" Lunch, Mr. Ricky. Thank you for taking care of Rama two days ago." Arya thanked Ricky.

" Together, Mr. Arya. I'm also happy to be with Rama for longer." Ricky stared fixedly at the interaction between Ramadhan and Anindita who seemed to release kangen because the two days were not together.

" Anin whines constantly wanting to meet with Rama, knowing he rarely separated for a long time with his son."

Arya's voice makes Ricky blink. It seems without him realizing it he seemed amazed to see the closeness of the relationship between mother and child.

" Ah, yes, Mr. Arya. Rama felt the same. He also told me why I should stay at my place again. She said she wanted to see her mom." Ricky chimed in.

" Dear, Rama .. Let's eat first." Arya calls Anindita and Ramadhan who are still cuddling up to join her at the dinner table.

" Thank you for taking care of Rama, Mr. Ricky." Anindita thanked Ricky.

" Together, Lady Arya." Ricky then pulls up a chair that happens to be facing off exactly with the chair Anindita chose.

" What do you want to eat, honey?" arya asked Anindita.

" I'm just like Mas Arya, for Rama choose the vegetables, Mas." Anindita.

" Sir Ricky you want what message?"

" I ordered Soka crab oyster sauce to drink mineral water." Ricky chose his food menu.

" Mom, order soka crab oyster sauce one serving.gurame sour sweet spicy one serving, fried shrimp flour two servings capcay fried two servings, rice four, fried two servings, drink four mineral waters with one orange juice." Arya mentioned her order to the restaurant waiter.

" Ma, yesterday Rama played to Om Ricky's office to meet a beautiful Aunt Om handsome." Ramadhan chatted about meeting with Kirania and Dirga.

" Beautiful aunt? Om handsome?" Anindita frowned not understanding who Ramadan meant.

" Oh, that's Mr. Dirga and Mrs Dirga." Ricky explained who Ramadan meant.

" Oh ..." That was all Anindita said.

" Are Mr. Arya and Mrs not planning a honeymoon? If you want to leave Rama, I have no problem with Rama being with me." Ricky offered himself.

" Last afternoon we plan to go to Malang city. Anin wants to meet with her former boss while living in Malang first. All of us can vacation in the city of Batu. with Rama and my son's daughter." Arya explained.

" Oh, Mr. Arya chose to vacation with the family rather than go on a honeymoon with the Madam apparently." Ricky argues.

" Excuse me ..." The waiter delivered the mineral water and orange juice first.

" Quality time with family is also important, Mr. Ricky. To make the relationship between family members more harmonious. Besides, if it was just for the honeymoon two nights ago, we did it. Although it doesn't feel good, is it, honey?" Arya rubbed Anindita's shoulder made Anindita face red because Arya discussed the sensitive issue in front of others and made the woman look groggy to take mineral water to cover her nervousness.

And Ricky can see clearly the discoloration of Anindita's face that is now blushing, and without realizing it, Ricky seemed to enjoy the scenery.

" What about Ricky himself? What do I hear Mr Ricky is not married? Does Mr Ricky not want a family?"

Arya's question makes Ricky aware of his daydream.

" Hmmm, what, Mr Arya?" Ricky asks Arya to repeat the question because she did not really clearly hear Arya's question.

" When is Ricky planning on getting married?" Arya repeated her question.

" Hmmm ...."

" Of Ricky's a bride, Pa." Ramadan first answers Aryan questions.

" Oh, Mr. Ricky is married, huh?" ask Arya who does not know if Ricky is married.

" Yes, Pa. Ricky already has a child. If you have children, it means that Om Ricky is already a bride."

" Uhuk ... uhuk ..." Anindita who was sipping mineral water immediately choked to hear his son's words.

" Dear, slow down ...."

" Slowly, Madam."

Arya and Ricky both seem worried about seeing Anindita choke.

Arya immediately patted Anindita's back until Anindita's cough subsided. He also wiped away Anindita's tears from choking earlier.

" Mommy if you drink don't rush into a sprain." Ramadhan who had been worried to see Anindita coughing also advised.

Anindita looked towards her son. If only he could, he wanted to say, it was Ramadan that made him choke.

" I'm sorry if you're bothered by Rama's words, Mrs Arya." Ricky, who realizes that Anindita is choking because of his son's words, apologizes immediately.

Anindita now turned to Ricky who was staring fixedly at her, but before long Anindita threw away her gaze.

" She, I'm going to the toilet first ..." Anindita then rushed towards the toilet after getting permission from Arya. Somehow the discomfort often appeared in his heart every time he met with Ricky.

***

At about seven o'clock through Arya, Anindita and her two children arrived at Malang station by Gajayana train this morning.

" Good morning, Mr. Arya. Glad I finally got to meet Mr. Arya back." A young man with a mature sapodilla complexion greeted Arya as he extended his hand towards Arya

" Morning, Zul. I'm also happy to see my former protege again." Arya welcomes the helping hand of Zul, her former student.

" This is the same wife of Mr Arya's children?" ask Zul.

"; Oh yes, Zul. This is my wife and kids." Arya introduces Anindita, Princess and Rama.

" Welcome to Malang. Bu Arya's. I Zul, I used to be Junior High in Jakarta I was Pak Arya's student." Zul introduced himself.

" Anne." Anindita.

" Well, what's her name, what's this pretty and handsome?" Zul asked the Princess and Ramadan.

" I'm Rama, Om. This is Princess." Ramadan introduced himself and the princess.

" Well, smart kid." Zul rattles Ramadan's hair.

" Let's, Sir, Ma'am .. I drive to my house first while waiting for the time to check in at the hotel in Batu." Zul asks for Arya's suitcase, but Arya refuses.

" Let me take it, Zul. I thank you for coming here" Arya subtly refused.

" Well, I'm happy, sir. Not feeling bothered. You can meet again with my favorite teacher after almost ten years without seeing" said Zul.

" Well, how about we get some food first?" ask Arya.

" Breakfast at my house, sir. It just so happens that my wife has already cooked for Mr. Arya and the family."
