Bara And Arum

Bara And Arum
Start Deflating



Arum walks with Ninik, his assistant every time he helps patients in his area. Actually Arum could have worked at the puskesmas which is 10 kilometers from his hamlet but he prefers to go to patients rather than have to sit sweet.


Both are now on their way home. The distance between Arum and Ninik house is only about 500 meters.


"Mbak Arum, mas Bambang can already walk?" ask Ninik who likes to steal a glance at the man who lives with Ricky and Arum.


"Alhamdulillah although still gripping but already can go far" replied Arum.


"If his memory returns, he will go back to his family?"


"Well, it's Nik, sorry his family must be worried looking. I really want to bring Bambang mas to the city but wait until healthy first."


"Hopefully recover soon."


"Aamiin's."

Arum saw Bambang and his father was busy sorting out old bamboo and coconut skin that was going to be used for cooking. His father did prefer everything traditional, even cooking was using a furnace. At first Arum protested because the era has advanced like this still use the furnace, but for a long time he was accustomed.


"Assalamualaikum" said Arum.


"Wa'alaikum greetings" the two men replied.


"Where is Rum's patient?" ask Ricky.


"Thank God the mother and the baby are safe. It turned out that it was difficult because the baby was too big, there were 4kg even though Siti had said less sweet and salty eating, ngeyel. Fortunately, it does not go through pre-eclampsia. I can take it to the hospital."


Bambang looked at the beautiful girl who looked adorable while grumbling. Why am I ever in the same situation? Same who? Whereabouts?


Ricky who saw the change in Bambang's face asked. "Why B?"


"No, I remember someone who looked like Arum, a girl who nagged." Bambang held his head which suddenly hurt.


"Don't be forced" said Arum.


Bambang nodded. "Slow down indeed."

Ghani woke up in the middle of the night and felt something hurt in his chest. Embers. For some reason until this moment Ghani and Alexandra still reject Bara is dead. Alexandra herself stated by her mother's instinct that Bara was still alive somewhere.


Ghani then got out of bed and saw his wife still asleep. Slowly he opened the door and closed it slowly. Ghani opened the door to his parents' main room. Like so many years ago, nothing has changed.


The shadow of Abi and Dara which is always crowded by storms is not clearly flashed in the eyes of Ghani. The wedding photos of her parents are still there. Photographs of her and Rhea's birth, photos of her parents with Blair's family are in the corner of the Consul's desk.


Ghani smiles at the photo of himself and Duncan seems to be fighting about what but the candid photo taken by the mommy makes Ghani crowded.


Ghani unknowingly took a photo of Abi and Dara wearing pink outfit while delivering herself to Kindergarten. He took her to his parents' bed. Ghani hugged the photo and started crying.


"Mommy, Daddy... Ghani kangen."


Alexandra, who saw Ghani not next to her, looked for her husband and was filled to hear the sad voice of the man she was almost with for 33 years.


When Abi and Dara died, Ghani was not like this but since Bara was declared dead, Ghani was not the Ghani Alexandra knew. Losing a dear child really hit Ghani. Alexandra did not expect Ghani to be that bad and she tried to provide support for her husband.


"Mas Daniswara" whispered Alexandra.


Ghani. Alexandra got into bed and hugged her husband from behind. Ghani holds his wife's hand.


"Bara is coming home, Lexa" whispered Ghani.


"Where do you know that?" alexandra whispered in the niche of her husband's neck.


"Daddy said it to me."

Bambang woke up with cold sweat all over his body. Was that God? Who's the guy named Abhimanyu Giandra. Who is Edward Blair? Why did you say I should go home?


Bambang walked towards the backyard and remembered his dream earlier.


Bambang POV


Bambang felt in a white mansion with a backyard complete with a swimming pool. He saw there were some people there and their faces looked friendly and some of them were Caucasian who spoke with an English accent.


"You're so big now, B." Bambang just looked at those blue eyes in confusion. Who her?


"Abimanyu Giandra, look at this. He's grown up" chuckled the bule man.


A man named Abhimanyu Giandra also came to Bambang. The handsome face of Asia according to Bambang.


"You really have grown bigger and more handsome but nothing beats the handsome Abhimanyu Giandra" smiled the man named Abhimanyu was ignorant.


"Ck! Narcissist!" decih the bule man.


"Early Edward Blair?" Abhimanyu then looked at Bambang. "Go home son. Your parents are so worried about you that they're waiting for you."


"Tell Ricky, greetings from Edward Blair" said the bule.


Bambang could only nod.


POV End'S.


Bambang stared at the night view from the backyard while smoking his cigarette. Her heart was completely pounding recalling the phrase 'both of your parents are waiting for you'.


"B? Why?" ask Ricky. "Can't you sleep?"


"No sir. Just had a strange dream" Bambang replied.


"Nightmare?"


Bambang. "Dreams like meeting family." Bambang also told the contents of his dream that made Ricky gawk and cry.


Bambang was confused to see the big tall man crying. "Is something wrong, Mr Ricky?"


"God, you met my former boss. Edward Blair is my former boss and he's a very nice and important person in my life." Ricky wiped his tears. "I'll take my phone soon because the signal night is kind of good because we're covered in cliffs."


Ricky goes into his room and returns to Bambang's place. "Who was his name?"


"Abimanyu Giandra."


Ricky began typing the name and was shocked to learn the news about the granddaughter of businessman Abhimanyu Giandra, who died in a helicopter crash nearly three months ago.


Ricky was shocked to see the face of Abhimanyu Giandra's grandson.


"Astaghfiullah! You are Abhimanyu Giandra's grandson. Your name is Sambara Ganendra Giandra, your father is Daniswara Ghani Giandra. You have a sister named Danisha Gayatri Giandra."


Bambang saw the news of him dying in a helicopter crash and his profession as a National Geographic photographer. All the information that was coming back into his head caused him to have a severe headache.


Ricky who saw Bambang in pain immediately shouted to Arum who immediately came out of the room to help his father memapah Bambang. Arum also gave sedatives to the man.


"Well! What's going on?" asked Arum after seeing Bambang rather calm.


"The name is Sambara, Arum. Not Bambang" Ricky replied.


"Huh?"


"The initials in the silver bracelet, BG, are short for Bara Giandra. He's the grandson of Edward Blair, Dad's former boss." Ricky looked at Bara moved.


"I mean dad... Bambang already started to remember?"


"Maland, Arum. Name's Bara. I need to call someone first, you take care of Bara." Ricky called someone in the backyard.


Arum looked at that pale face.


BG, Bara Giandra.
