ANINDITA, A Tale of the Past

Ricky Promise

Anindita threw a look in the other direction as Ricky continued to stare fixedly at her. He seemed powerless to reject what Ricky wanted. Because if he defies and has to run, he himself does not know where to run.

" Now you rest, Madam. Cika will accompany you tonight. Tomorrow morning he'll prepare breakfast for you guys" Ricky said later.

" If I want to go to work from here I have to take public transportation what, sir?" Anindita remembered that she would be on the move tomorrow, and she did not know what public transportation she should use.

" You're not going anywhere, ma'am. Your daily activity is to stay in this apartment. All the work will be handled Cika."

" You mean, sir?" Anindita's forehead wrinkled, she did not understand the meaning of Ricky's words.

" You won't be working again from now on" Ricky said.

" What? Not working?" Anindita gasps.

" No, Master! I don't want to stop working! I have to find money for my children's living expenses, for my labor costs." Anindita refuses to let Ricky stop working.

" That problem you don't need to worry about, Madam. I will bear all the living expenses of the Madam and the Madam's children. Including the child in the womb Mistress." Ricky glanced towards Anindita's stomach, so Anindita reflexively held her stomach.

" No, Master! I can't accept that!" reject Anindita quickly

" If you insist on financing Rama, I can still understand. But for this child in my womb, you have no obligation to bear the cost of his life." Anindita still disapproves of Ricky's plan.

" I want to repay the kindness of Mr. Arya who has loved Rama all this time, like Mr. Arya's own biological son."

Ricky's words immediately made Anindita's heart feel sad, even Anindita was unable to hold back the tears that eventually dripped on her cheeks until she sobbed.

" Mrs, sorry .. I don't mean to make you sad." Of course Anindita's crying makes Ricky go awry. A hug is the right thing to give to a person crying out of sadness. But he realized, there was no way he could do that to Anindita.

" Mrs, it's best that the Madam rest, let your mind be at ease. All the problems that occur must make your heart tired, and it is not good for the development of the fetus in the womb Mistress." Ricky tries to calm down Anindita who is still sobbing.

" Mom why, sir?" ask Cika who just came from dropping off Lucy and her men. While both hands Cika grasps a plastic mini market containing some food and also milk pregnant women.

" Cika, you please accompany me, Lady Arya. I'm going down," Ricky told Cika.

" Good, sir." Cika quickly acknowledged.

" I'm sorry, Madam." After saying goodbye Ricky immediately out of the apartment occupied by Anindita.

" Come, Mom. I go to the room." Cika led Anindita into her room.

" I made milk first, Mom. I'll wait a minute ..." After arriving at Anindita's room, Cika was said to want to make pregnant milk for Anindita.

Anindita again circulates the view to the corner of her room. This room is very comfortable with the air conditioning temperature set to make people in this room feel comfortable and may be able to fall asleep. But for Anindita, as comfortable as any room she occupies now, she feels more comfortable in her room at her husband's house first, especially if the husband is beside her.

In light of her husband, Anindita then pulled the suitcase and wanted to lift it up on the bed because she wanted to take something in the suitcase.

" Mom, don't pick up the suitcase!" Cika's shrieking voice made Anindita aghast to hold her chest.

" I'm sorry to startle you" said Cika put the pregnant milk she made on the nightstand.

" What do you want to take? Let me help you." Cika deftly took the suitcase in Anindita's hand and placed it on the bed.

" It's night, Mom. I'd better take a break. Tomorrow afternoon I help put the clothes of Mom and Rama into the closet" said Cika.

" Oh yes, Ma'am. Thank you." Thank you." Anindita then opened the suitcase and took some picture frames that she brought from Arya's house.

" I heard from Mr. Ricky about Mom's husband. My condolences, Mom. I know it's not going to be easy for Mom, but I'm still grateful that I'm close to Mr. Ricky. I think Mr. Ricky will protect Mom and Mom's family. Moreover, Rama is the flesh blood of Mr. Ricky himself, Mr. Ricky will definitely guarantee the future life of Rama."

" Nothing else to get out of here, Mom?" tanya Cika intends to close back the suitcase she opened.

" Oh, no, Sister Cika. I just want to take this," said Anindita pointed to some of the picture frames earlier.

" Call me. Just call me Mom." Cika asks Anindita to call her name only.

" Oh, yes, Cika." Anindita obeyed what Cika wanted.

" Cika's been working here a long time?" tanya Anindita was curious about the ART Ricky.

" When I've been working here since I started college two years ago, ma'am."

Anindita was stunned to find out if ART who worked at her current residence was a student.

" Lecture?" tanya Anindita was rather shocked to find out if Cika was a learned person.

" Right, Mom."

" Where is college?"

" I went to university law school xxx."

" You're a law major?"

" Yes, Mom."

Anindita swallows her saliva, deservedly Cika's appearance is very different, according to him.

" You go to college but you work here too?" asked Anindita in surprise. Because according to him, it is very rare for a student who wants to work like Cika now.

" Yes, Mom. Coincidentally Om I work at the company where Mr. Ricky works. And it just so happened that I also needed extra money for college to avoid overburdening my parents out of town. It just so happened that Mr. Ricky offered this job. I think there is nothing wrong with me trying, after all this work is a halal job and the time is also not too binding because I have to go to college. I finally got this job." Cika explained.

" Do you live here?" ask Anindita.

" No, Ma. I live with my Aunt and Om. It just so happens that the place is not far from here."

" I usually only come here three times a week. But from tomorrow I will stay here every day to accompany Mom. That's what Mr. Ricky told me." Cika explained again.

" Previous did anyone else occupy this apartment, Cika?" ask Anindita curiously,

" Nothing, Mom. Who occupies only Mr. Ricky, if he feels bored in the apartment below. But as I recall Mr. Ricky once said that I should be able to take care of this apartment as best as possible, because he prepared this apartment for the child and mother of his son who Mr. Ricky had been looking for long if later they had been found. And it turns out Mr. Ricky's promise came true, because Mr. Ricky really kept it."

Anindita is made to gasp again knowing the fact that Ricky really prepared this place of residence for her and also for Ramadan.
