Cidro (Between Love And Wounds)

Chapter 60

It rained hard tonight. Lightning struck ferociously. The image appears to descend to the lower floor. He went to the kitchen to get some water.

"Partner, how do you wake up, baby?" asked Ms Mirna who happened to be in the kitchen as well.

"Citra Haus Ma. Take some water to drink" Citra replied.

Miss Mirna smiled hearing that. "Where is your school?" Asked the woman while sitting on the dining room chair.

"Alhamdulillah smoothly Ma," replied Citra.

Mirna smiled when she heard the child's answer.

"Where is your relationship with Tian? All right, all right?" ask Mirna again.

Hearing the question, Citra choked on her drink. He coughed at the sudden question.

"Pelan-pelan Darling drink it," said Ms Mirna.

The image forced his smile. To be honest he was shocked and surprised when Ms Mirna asked him about it. It's nothing, all this time Miss Mirna never asked about her relationship with Tian.

"Why were you surprised when you heard Mom's question? Your relationship is fine, right?" Mirna repeated her question.

Citra was still silent hearing her mother's question. He slightly lowered his head so that the mother did not see the disappointed look on his face.

"Partner, Mama asked me that's not because Mama wants to interfere in your business. But Mama just wants you to be honest. You guys are fiancees, right?" said Ms. Mirna.

The image forced his smile. He doesn't want anyone to know how he feels right now. He didn't want anyone to know how disappointed he was when he learned of something that had hurt him for the most part.

"Mama doain is the best for us" Citra said. His eyes implied a sincere plea from within his heart.

Miss Mirna smiled. The woman then pulled out Citra's hand and grasped it tightly.

"Mama always wishes the best for your children" he said.

The smiling image heard it. "Picture up first yes Ma. Thank you for being horrified to complain about Citra so far," he said.

Miss Mirna nodded. "Yes Dear. If there is a problem, you can tell the story of Mama or Papa," said the woman.

After saying good night, Citra immediately left the dining room. He climbed the stairs to his room upstairs.

Inside the room, Tian looked puzzled. His mind is not calm. Since then the Citra mobile phone can not be contacted. He wanted to approach Citra to her house. Nature would not let him go.

"Where are you going anyway? Why is your phone dead?" he said with a worried tone.

Tian attempted to contact Citra back. But still. The phone cannot be contacted. He tried once again. The result remains the same. Mobile Imagra racks can be contacted.

Tian was finally desperate. He no longer contacted Citra. In a moment of despair, she remembered Anne. Yep! He needs to call Anne.

Without a second thought, Tian immediately contacted Anne. She waited for Anne to pick up the phone. Anne's first call didn't pick her up. He tried once again. And succeed! Anne picked up the phone.

"Yes good night!" said Anne.

"Citra why? How is your HP not active?" tian asked without further ado.

Anne frowned. He pulled his phone from his ear and read the caller's identity.

"I don't know sir. Yes, it was still active. He just talked to me" replied Anne.

"Where are you now?" ask Tian.

"I'm home again. Why Sir?" Anne asked Tian.

"Can you ask for help?" tian.

"Please give her phone the same image. I want to talk to him," he continued.

Anne did not answer immediately. He was a bit heavy following Tian's request this time around. Because he also already knew what caused this kind of Imagery.

"Where's An? Can you?" ask Tian.

"Where is Sir. I think Citra is sleeping. I didn't dare disturb her sleep either" Anne replied.

Anne was heartless to refuse Tian's request. But he also felt annoyed that the man had indirectly hurt his sister.

"I beg Anne. Please help me this time. I promise it won't be long" he asked again.

Anne became heartless when she heard Tian's voice pleading with her. He finally obeyed Tian's words.

"Yes it is. But just a moment, sir," said Anne.

"Yes Anne. Thank you and sorry for interrupting your time" Tian said.

Anne walked to the Citra room. He knocked on the door of the room and after an answer from inside, Anne immediately entered the room.

"Not slept?" ask Anne.

Imagery shook. "Tomorrow is a holiday. So the peeper was once sleeping a little late," he replied.

Anne smiled. He sat down next to Citra. "Nih Mr. Tian wants to talk to you." Anne put her phone to Citra.

The image did not immediately receive the phone. She looked at Anne with a look of wonder.

"Why else is he?" ask her with a jutek tone.

Anne shrugged her shoulders. "Udah lift it. Who knows if he wants to talk or explain something to you," he said.

The image smiled obliquely. "Whatever he explains, it doesn't change anything. It will still leave a wound in my heart" he said.

Anne took a long breath. "Listen to what he wants to say Cit. Don't keep dodging like this" said Anne.

The image is still flinching. He was still unwilling to talk to Tian. He was still unwilling to listen to Tian's explanation.

...****************...

The rain is still coming this morning. The streets and trees are still wet because of the rain. The image appears to come out of his room. He walked down the stairs to the dining room.

"Good morning Ma, Pa, Anne, Azwan!" he said as soon as he was there.

Everyone who was there smiled back at Citra's greeting.

"Good morning Bi Lani," said Citra to the housekeeper.

"Eh good morning Non," Bi Lani replied.

Anne smiled at the cheerful image that returned as usual.

"It's so nice. Win the lottery, huh?" Azwan.

Smiling image. "Yes won a lottery whose prize was priceless" Citra replied.

"What tuh?" sahut Anne's.

"This family!" answer Short imagery.

"Thank you Papa and Mam and Anne and Azwan already want to accommodate Citra here. I want to accept Citra as part of your family" Citra said.

Everything there seemed silent. They were all teary-eyed hearing Citra's words just now. It sounds so sincere and comes from the heart.

Miss Mirna got up from her seat and approached Citra. The woman hugged the child's body tightly.

The same thing was done by Anne. He also hugged Citra tightly. Mr. Bayu and Azwan also do not want to miss. They also hugged Citra tightly.

"Sorry Sir, Mom, Non! There is Mas Tian in front" Bi Lani said.

Everyone let go of that hug and looked towards Bi Lani.

"There's Mas Tian in front. Nyariin Non Citra," he repeated again.

Immediately the smile of the image receded. His face turned sour when he heard the name Tian mentioned. Mr. Bayu and Ms. Mirna looked at each other. While Anne pretended to enjoy the toast in front of her.
