CHASING ANITA'S LOVE

Meet again 2

Ratih is neat, and so is Rico, both of whom are preparing to leave for Anita's house according to the promise.

Rohan immediately stopped reading the newspaper when he saw Ratih and Rico stepped out

" Where are you going?"

" Don't you say last night you're going to Anita's house."

"Mom's serious about what you said last night?"

"Yes, obviously, mama is serious!"

"Come nek....Rico wants to see Anita's mom soon." Rico pulls his grandmother's hand and doesn't care about his papa.

"Okay, baby, we're leaving......"

Ratih grabbed Rico's hand.

" Ma, ma, Johan between ya!" shout Rohan.

Ratihn stopped stepping and turned to Rohan.

"We took a taxi.!"

"Rohan inter ma."

"Yes, because don't say something later."

Ratih arrived to have a ignorant mind to work on his son.

The three of them went to Anita's house.

Arriving at Anita's house, Rico gets off the car directly entering Anita's yard, and it seems that Anita is already waiting for their arrival.

Also seen Lasmi, Anita's mother,.

"Assalamualaikum,' "

"Waalaikum salam."lari ma'am please enter.Anita salih Ratih as well as Lasmi.

Rohan is still in the car, watching the state of the house and the surrounding environment, while imagining how his son Rico will be entrusted his mother here.

Rohan shook his head, he was not willing to part from Rico.

"Rico can't stay here, but how." Rohan is in a state of concern.

Ratih felt Rohan did not follow them, he glanced at the car parked on the side of the road, there was a small smile decorating his lips.

While Rico and Anita are talking without paying attention to him, Ratih touches Lasmi's hand and signals her to leave Rico and Anita.

"Sorry Miss Lasmi, can I have a one-on-one conversation with my mother?" ratih said half in a whisper.

Lasmi looked at Ratih and nodded while standing followed by Ratih into the room.

The two sat in the dining room.

"Before I apologize, to mother also to Anita because our arrival interfered with mother-to-be, but I also could not see her only granddaughter in a sad state ,understandably my granddaughter has been left to her mother since childhood, and at all she does not know her mother." said Ratih in a quiet voice.

Lasmi used her head."Yes, Anita there told me, the love of Rico."

"I mean talking to mom, I'm expecting help from Miss Lasmi and Anita, and my request may be out of the question."Ratih was speechless it felt hard for him to reveal.

"What can we do to help Mrs Train?"

Ratih took a deep breath and looked at Lasmi doubtfully.Lasmi grabbed Ratih's hand .

"Say."

"I intended to propose to Anita to be my son's wife, and

at once so his mother Rico." said Ratih rather trembling, as he felt his request would offend Lasmi.

For a while Lasmi was silent and looked at Ratih's clinging, her face suddenly suddenly moody.

Ratih who saw Lasmi's face change became nervous.

"Sorry for offending Miss Lasmi."

"No Ma'am, I'm not offended in the least, I'm even flattered, even though some people still like my son." said Ms. Lasmi.

"You mean Miss Lasmi?"ask Ratih with a confused face.

"I don't know if you'll accept Anita or not if you know the state of my child." said Ms. Lasmi in a sad tone.

"Rico likes Anita, it's not easy for Rico to like someone, and I don't think Rico's choice is wrong." - Ratih.

"Say Miss Lasmi,"

"Honestly, my son Anita is not a girl anymore, she is a widow, recently divorced a few months ago" Lasmi said with teary eyes, remembering the fate of Anita.

Ratih was surprised to hear Lasmi's words, and saw how devastated Lasmi looked.

"Oh.I'm sorry "say Ratih is wrong.

"It's okay, it's just that I want Mrs Ratih to consider the plan."

"I don't care about Anita's status, which I see Anita can give what my granddaughter is looking for so Miss Lasmi doesn't have to worry."

Lasmi looks rather relieved.

"But what about Rico's papa?"lasmi asked doubtfully.

"If Rico's papa can be taken care of, Mrs Lasmi don't worry, which is important for me the approval of Miss Lasmi first."

"I don't mind, I also wish my child the best" Ms. Lasmi said .

"Thank you Miss Lasmi.I will talk to Anita, after that I beg Miss Lasmi can provide support to her.fear she is still traumatized."

"I'll help, I also want Anita to be happy.'

The two smiled and stepped out again, and Anita and Rico were still talking.

Ratih and Lasmi are back.

It didn't feel like time had passed and it was time for them to go home, Anita wrapping cookies to take Rico and her grandmother home.

Ratih and Anita return, both walking towards the car parked on the side of the road, Rohan looks waiting in the car.

The two get in the car, and leave Anita's house.

Ratih looked at Rohan who looked grim .Ratih didn't talk all the way to the house and neither did Rico.

Silence enveloped all three.

\*\*\*

The night after dinner Rico went straight into his room, Ratih did too but Rohan kept him from talking.

"What is it Rohan, mama is sleepy" said Ratih closing his mouth as if yawning.

"Have you talked to Anita?"

"It."

"Did Anita agree to it?"

"Anita and her mother don't mind accommodating Rico." replied Ratih Sekena and looked relaxed.

Rohan clasped both his hands looking emotional.

"It's best to cancel your mother's wish to leave Rico there."

"Can't Rohan, so mama's already talking, can't possibly cancel it."

"Anyway Rico can't get out of this house!!!!"rohan said a little loudly.

"You don't be selfish, your son.!!!"sahut Ratih in a high voice.

"Rohan still disagrees with Rico coming out of this house." Rohan said with a heavy breath holding back emotions.

"Keep.....What do you want?!"

Rohan agrees to marry Anita,ma, but with a marriage record of only status, do not expect Rohan to treat as a wife, so do not expect Rohan to be kind to her, because there is no one better than Linda.' rohan said cold and flat.

Some time Ratih was silent, Johan was still living in the shadow of Linda, even though it had been almost Ten years .Ratih hopes Rohan can open his heart .

"Mama did this for Rico's sake, it's up to you to do what you do, which is important Rico can be happy."

Train walked away leaving Rohan still sitting quietly in his chair.

There was a cheer of excitement in his chest because Rohan was willing to follow his advice, "I must continue this plan, I don't know if it will work or not, which is important to try first" he murmured inwardly.

The night had passed Rohan could not close his eyes, his mind floated on his wife Linda, that face always loomed over him wherever he was at great guilt for not being able to save Linda made him so devastated.

"Linda forgive me.'the crying finally broke without being able to be dammed, her body shook violently restraining emotions.

Rohan can fall asleep at four in the morning.
