ANINDITA, A Tale of the Past

Not Papa Rama

Anindita was still sitting in the waiting chair as she was still waiting for her name to be called. She noticed that some pregnant women who also wanted to check their pregnancy were accompanied on average by their husbands. Instantly Anindita's heart turned sad, because usually she was always accompanied by Arya if checking the content.

Although this is not her first pregnancy and in the past while pregnant Ramadan was only accompanied by Sandra, but Anindita does not feel as sad as it is now.

" Pi, it's been a long time since her queue, Mimi's waist hurts," lamented one of the patients who was sitting right in front of Anindita.

" Patience, Mi. There are three more numbers." The woman's husband immediately rubbed the woman's waist.

" Pa, next week we're going babymoon to Bali right, Pa?" Now the patient sitting to the left of Anindita is talking to her husband.

" Yes, Papa has arranged for leave for next Sunday" replied her husband.

Anindita leaned her body against the wall while raising her head and closing her eyes, at least she had to hold back so that the clear liquid did not condense in her eyes. Because at that time also the longing for the presence of Arya was so strong in his heart.

" Absolutely check it out, Ma'am?"

Anindita immediately turned her head towards her right when a voice sounded as if talking to her.

" Oh, yes, Ma'am .." said Anindita to a woman who looked pregnant.

" Not accompanied by her husband, Mother? We often control the womb together and I like to see usually if the mother's pregnancy check is always accompanied by her husband and his son," said the woman.

Anindita took a breath that immediately felt tight to inhale.

" My husband just died, Ma'am." Anindita's tone sounded soft.

" Innalillahi wa Inna ilaihi roji'un, oh sorry yes, Ma'am. I don't mean to make you sad" the woman regretted.

" It's okay, Ma'am." Anindita wiped away the clear liquid that finally condensed in her eyes.

" We're lucky then, Ma'am."

The woman's words made Anindita again turn her face towards the woman.

" My husband also died when I was four weeks pregnant. He didn't even know he was going to have a child. Because I just got caught pregnant when I passed out so I found out my husband died." The woman explained.

" I'm sorry, Ma'am." said Anindita showed her empathy.

" Living a pregnancy without being accompanied by the father of the baby is indeed heavy, Ma'am?" lirih Anindita.

" I enjoy myself anyway, Ma'am. Because I happened to meet my ex again and our family agreed that we would get married when this baby was born. Because after all I need a husband to raise my child."

Anindita gasped at the woman's explanation earlier. It was as easy as the woman turned away from the love of her husband until she decided to remarry. If it happened to her, it seems like Anindita felt that she would not be able to change her love for Arya to another man.

" Mom ..." Anindita was shocked when she heard her son's voice shouting to her name.

" Rama? How come Rama is here? Who is Rama to the temple?" Anindita is still confused how her son can know himself in Obgyn's clinic.

" Tuh, same with Ricky." Ramadhan pointed to a tall, well-built man who walked closer to Anindita. Even the presence of Ricky there makes the women in the waiting room stunned to forget their husbands.

Anindita immediately snorted when she saw Ricky's presence there, because Ricky was the one who had upset her to make her abdominal muscles tight because she held back emotions and now causes pain in her stomach.

Anindita looked annoyed at Ricky who was also looking at her with guilty eyes, but before long Anindita decided her eyes because staring too long at the man made her chest churn.

" The baby's grandfather misses Mas Rama, Rama where did Mama pick up to Rama's school not exist?" Anindita rubs the thick hair of Ramadan.

" Rama's gonna be picked up by Ricky, Ma." Ramadhan.

" Mama was confused looking for Rama, why did Rama not tell Mama that Rama had come home?"

" Said Om Ricky Mama forgot to pick up Rama because Mama again fun to chat with Aunt Rania."

Anindita immediately glared at Ricky who was still standing looking at her, but the man soon threw away his face because he felt caught making a mistake.

" But Rama's time in Om Ricky Mama's office wasn't there." Ramadhan showed his sad face.

" That's because Mama picked Rama up to school, Mama didn't know that Rama had been picked up because no one told Mama. Mama's phone was also picked up" Anindita said.

" Hihi, Mama call Om Ricky, huh? Om Ricky said it's again Mama's law, because Mama forgot to pick up Rama school so said Om Ricky phone Mama do not lift. Yeah, right, Om?"

Ramadan's speech made Anindita and Ricky gasp. Anindita with a growing annoyance returned to stare sharply at Ricky who was at that time immediately misbehaved and can be ascertained how the expression of the assistant face of the big boss of Angkasa Raya Group at that time resisting the shame.

" Mrs Anindita ...!" The voice of the call from the clinic employee who called Anindita's name could make Ricky a little sigh of relief because it finally stopped from the intimidating gaze of Anindita.

Anindita finally went to Obgyn's doctor's office to check on her while Ramadhan and Ricky waited outside.

" Om, Rama wants to come with Mama." Ramadhan pointed to the entrance of Anindita's check room.

" Rama just wait here, Mama Anin will not be long, really." Ricky persuades his son to keep waiting with him outside.

" Rama wants to see the baby's grandpa, Om." Ramadhan insisted on staying with his mother.

" Big brother, why call his Papa Om, anyway?" ask the woman who was sitting to the left of Anindita while pinching Ramadan's cheek.

" This is not her husband, Mom. Her husband Ma'am earlier I know the person, because often check with her schedule the same as me. My husband said he had just died." The woman who had talked to Anindita then explained.

" Innalillahi wa Inna illaihi roji'un, duh .. pity ya, pregnant must lose husband," said the woman to the left of the position Ricky sitting at this time.

" But this little brother looks exactly like his Om, huh? If so, the papa fits, huh! Both handsome." The woman in front of Ricky who had complained that her waist hurt commented.

" Om Ricky is not Papa Rama, Auntie. Papa Rama is Papa Arya, but he's dead." Ramadhan quickly answered the woman's question.

Suddenly Ricky's heart immediately fell to hear the words of Ramadan which dismissed the woman's assumption that he was the Papa of Ramadan.
