ANINDITA, A Tale of the Past

Punishing Mama Anin

I don't know what words are right to describe Anindita's current feelings other than shame. Really the story of his past is open things that deserve to be remembered but now even known by many people.

" Sir Ricky was very sorry for what he did first. I hope Mbak Anin can forgive Mr. Ricky for what Mr. Ricky did in the past Mbak Anin who so hurt Mbak Anin."

Anindita bowed to hear the words of Kirania who seemed to judge her who always blamed Ricky for the events that happened first.

" Anin knew no, the first time I met Mr. Ricky, I was very upset with him. Because he was kidnapping me and hiding me in his villa in Pangandaran." Kirania recalled her first meeting with Ricky.

" Abducted?" Anindita straightens her head when she hears Ricky kidnapped Kirania.

" Yes, he kidnapped me without my husband's knowledge when he was my husband's assistant." Kirania chuckles. " So I was engaged to another man ..." Kirania also told her love story with Dirga first.

Anindita listens seriously to the story of Kirania's encounter with Ricky and her love story with Dirga. Anindita feels that Kirania is a very lucky woman, because she only learned that Kirania is a woman from the ordinary but is so loved by a big company boss.

" Embak Anin imagine, is not upset, asked who he is and what purpose he kidnapped me? But he was relaxed, not at all telling who he was. Until finally my own husband who finally found my existence at that time. Imagine, Mr. Ricky dares to prank his own boss ..." Kirania chuckles to tell how Ricky used to behave towards her.

" But after that, I found out that he was a very good person. Mr. Ricky is a confidant of Angkasa Raya Group. Back when my husband hadn't served as the boss here, Mr. Ricky was my father-in-law's right hand." Kirania explained.

Anindita sighed, actually she felt careless if she had to talk about Ricky.

" Mister Ricky is my father-in-law's adopted son. Ma'am Anin doesn't believe that he's actually from people like us?"

Anindita frowned trying to understand what the words of people like us meant.

" He was the son of one of the construction workers in the Greater Space. And his father was killed while on the project. Finally, Papa Poetra raised Mr. Ricky to be his adopted son and finance the entire living needs of Mr. Ricky's family." Kirania was already like those grassy mothers who were happy to gossip.

Anindita herself immediately gasped to hear the fact that Ricky was from ordinary people like her. It is almost unbelievable to see how Ricky is now transformed as a capable young executive who is very relied upon by the giant company like Angkasa Raya Group.

After finishing discussing the work with Dirga, Ricky chose to return to his desk. While Anindita herself is still stuck in Dirga's rest room with Kirania.

Ricky then contacted someone from a PSTN phone at his desk.

" Good day, Mr. Ilyas. I want to know about the two empty shophouses that are under the apartment where I live. I want to buy two of those shops. Please let me know as soon as possible, thank you." Ricky hung up on her phone call.

Soon Ricky grabs his cell phone from his cantog pocket and tries to contact the owner of Alabama Florist.

" Hello, Mr. Ricky. What's up, Mister?" greet Lucy from Ricky's phone.

" Madam, what if the lady's florist shop opens a branch in the apartment shop where I live? I don't want Anin to work but he insists on wanting to work. I plan to buy two shophouses in my apartment area and open an Alabama florist shop. Let Anin handle it there. All capital let me set. I'll make sure Madam gets the royalties for it." Ricky explains his plan to Lucy.

" Oh, go ahead, sir. If Mr. Ricky provides a place as well as capital. I accept with pleasure" said Lucy.

" But I ask one of your employees close to Anin to help Anindita. Mita or Yeti?" ask Ricky

" Maybe Mita, sir. If it's the Yeti, I need him here because Anin doesn't work here anymore." Lucy chooses Mita who will accompany Anindita to cultivate the Alabama florist branch.

" All right then. Later I take care of the structure first so that it is renovated as interesting as possible. I'll transfer the funds to the Madam. Later please Madam who set anything necessary for the new store."

" good, Sir. I'll arrange everything."

" Please don't tell Anin if I bought the store for her, and she's the owner of the store. Just let Anin think that the store belongs to Madam, and you put her there."

" Okay, Mister."

" Thank you again for your help, Miss Lucy."

" Everyone, Sir. I'm also grateful to you for advancing the name of my florist."

After ending his conversation with Lucy on the phone, Ricky turned his head to the clockwise direction that almost showed eleven o'clock in the afternoon. About ten minutes from Ramadan to school. Ricky then moved from his seat and grabbed his car keys intending to pick up Ramadan without waiting for Anindita who seemed unfinished to be spoken to by Kirania.

" Sir, is Mr Ricky inside?" anindita asked Lisna.

" Oh, Mr. Ricky just got out, Mom." Lisna.

" out? Where are you going, Mommy?" Anindita was suddenly agitated because she glanced at her watch, the clock was showing the time for Ramadan to go home from school.

" I don't know, Mom. Mr. Ricky didn't say anything when he left earlier" Lisna said.

Anindita massages her temples. If Ricky leaves then what about Ramadan? Who will take Ramadan. Although as he remembered the place where his son's school was close from Ricky's office, but he did not remember the streets he passed earlier.

" Oh, thank you, Ma'am." Anindita then walked away from Lisna's desk. He tried to call Ricky's number. But after making several calls, the call was not raised by Ricky at all. This made Anindita more anxious.

Anindita also walked towards the elevator, she intended to pick up Ramadhan herself to her school, Arriving at the lobby, Anindita immediately ordered an online motorcycle taxi that will take her to the new Ramadhan school. While her chest rumbles, she feels very upset at Ricky whom she considers irresponsible and neglects to pick her son home from school.

Meanwhile, at Ramadhan school, Ricky chose to wait for Ramadan to finish studying in the principal's room. He deliberately asked the help of Ramadan teachers to take Ramadan to the principal's place, if Ramadan is done studying so he does not bother to look for Ramadan among dozens of students who run out of his classroom.

And after Ramadhan was delivered by his teacher, Ricky then brought Ramadan to his car.

" Where's Mama, Om?" ask Ramadhan for not finding Anindita in the car.

" Mama Anin was busy chatting until he forgot to pick up Rama." Ricky chuckles at his son's questions.

" Who are you talking to, Om!" tanya Ramadhan is curious.

" Same Aunt boss," said Ricky.

Ramadan's eyes were wide-eyed when he heard that his mother was talking to Kirania.

" Mama went to her office, huh? Rama also wants to play to his office Om, want to meet with Aunt boss, Om." Ramadhan is excited to know that his mother is in Ricky's office.

" Yes, we're going there, yeah!"

" Yes, Om."

Ddrrtt

Suddenly Ricky's phone rang. Ricky checked who called him. It was Anindita who contacted him.

" Now, Mama's on the phone. Because Mama Anin did not remember to pick up Rama, how about we now punish Mama Anin?" Suddenly a nosy idea pops into Ricky's mind.

" What's your mother punished for, Om?" tanya Ramadhan is curious.

" We don't have to pick up the phone from Mom. Let Mama Anin dizzy looking for us, later we surprise Mama Anin when it reaches the office Om, Okay?"

" Yes, Om. Yes ..." Ramadhan is influenced by Ricky to prank Anindita.
