Doctor Naura

Chapter 48 The Disassembly of Rio's Real Figure

Early in the morning bang Zamy had gone to the office, and came home again before the wedding papa in KUA. While I, indeed I permit a day with Mr. Rianto, Plt. The director of the papa replacement General Hospital officially resigned from the active ASN and became a pensioner.

With my car driven by the Zamy bang, we went to KUA. And really, it didn't take us long to wait, because the wedding schedule on Wednesday, was just papa and aunt Miranti with the judge. Papa's marriage was only attended by me, bang Zamy, mbak Nindya, Nisa and doctor Hilmi only. Marriage also takes place with wisdom, bang Zamy became one of the witnesses of marriage.

"Congratulations, may you protect each other in old age." I hugged papa whose teary eyes held haru.

"May you both be happy at the end of your aunt's age. And please forgive me for everything my mother ever did. Forgive all his mistakes. He's already in prison, hopefully he repents in there. May sakinah mawaddah warahmah for you both, forget all the bitter memories for twenty-eight years. This soul mate is yours, so enjoy it until death." I hugged Aunt Mira who sobbed in tears. Sister Nindy also shed tears, sad mixed happy. The bewildered Nisa also tears her eyes seeing the people nearby crying. We did not linger in KUA, finally returning home. Funny thing is that on the wedding day, my father moved his suitcase from my house to the villa. I don't know what happened next, I won't tell because I don't know what they enjoyed on the eve of the union of two hearts that were once separated because of papa's selfishness in his younger age.

Eid 1441 H

Day by day we passed with all the colors. The bittersweetness of our lives is trying to be balanced wisely. Papa has moved into his new home near the shophouse. He brought along aunty Mira, a sister of Nindya and Annisa. The distance of the house that is not so far makes us still often gather together. If they don't come home, sometimes we go to papa's house. Thus I so enjoyed the taste of having a family other than my family in Mentok. While the villa, again occupied by Mr. Rohim and Fredy to rest.

As time went on and the wheels of human life turned, it did not feel the age of my pregnancy entered the age of six weeks. Bang Zamy spoiled me even more. Whatever my wish is fulfilled. He also actively controls my health. It is fortunate to have a competent husband as an obstetrician, as well as patient and compassionate.

The day before Lebaran, we had returned to Mentok, we gathered there. Bang Fathur has not been able to return to Muntok due to covid-19. So our longing for them is only ventured through video calls. Arriving at Mentok mother is ready with all her cooking. Duck curry, beef rendang, peeled shellfish sambel mix petai and pineapple, there is also a beef meatball complete with four kilos of ribs, ribs, not to forget vegetable lontong combined with jackfruit gulai soup mixed with cow's tetelan. And that is always there every year it sambel asem. In the closet mom has also lined up neatly various pastries and wet cakes, some are bought and some are made by themselves. Every kind of pastry has been put into each jar, I tasted it all.

"Eat a lot, son. Hearing that you are going home to Mentok, I immediately buy the ingredients and cook everything that is happy." Mom explained when I was told to taste the various cuisines of mother, Mother and Bude Marni both fasted. Although allowed to taste without being swallowed, I still want all the dishes to fit on my tongue.

"If a lot of mah is not nyicip times ma'am." I answered. While bang Zamy in the days leading up to Lebaran went with RT sir to distribute zakat fitrah and Infaq. At the mosque near the mother's house, when the covid-19 season is not formed amil zakat. But if anyone wants to pay ordinary zakat can directly channel to people who are entitled to receive, and who know exactly that RT sir. So bang Zamy asked to be accompanied by RT sir.

"It's over, doctor, if on our RT. All those who are entitled have been distributed zakat and infaqnya packages. But it's still a dozen more packages." Mr. RT spoke with Zamy after being satisfied to go around and give the package to the last person entitled in the RT 003 RW 002 area. Zakatnya is counted as limited to our presence at home, but plus infaq package there are 100 packages. Hilux bang Rahman's car is tired of his engine dead life continues.

"The rest just love to the manager of the mosque who used to be amil zakat pak erte...." Bang Zamy. And finally still assisted by RT to consider the committee of amil zakat package in the form of 10 kg of rice brand 118 packs of blue, 2 liters of cooking oil, 1 can of Konghuan biscuits, etc, 1 Kg of sugar and 1 dus of tea box it in drop at home pack RT. They were told by RT to grab themselves at home.

"Still with doc...." Mr. RT stands to see there are still 3 more packages.

"Owh.., there's a new report, want to move souls. They are at the end of the Kenari alley, the house is a bit haunted dock because it has been decades not occupied since his grandfather died. And it was only about a week ago that one of her children came with her son who was married and had two children."

"That's what my mother said was shunned by her children and neighbors first, Mr. RT." Bang Zamy remembers the story of mother first. There is a new grandfather was found dead after the residents smell a stinging stench typical of human carcasses. His grandfather even left his wife also because he could not stand the war. And at the end of his life he only lived alone, then died without being accompanied by other children and families, he was found dead with his body already swollen and removing caterpillars. His skin was even sticky on the gloves of the officer who lifted him up. During his life with the neighbors never get along. Said mom once when a neighbor right next door was building a house. He closed the road access by laying various wood, used zinc and barbed twigs so that the material transport car did not use a concrete bridge in front of his home that he did make himself.

"Yes doc, that's right." Mr. RT replied smiling. Then they go there immediately. I saw an old house that looked freshly cleaned and repainted. The occupants of the house are a middle-aged mother with her oldest son, daughter-in-law and two toddlers. Time and again bang Zamy stared back at the middle-aged mother's face, her brain dejavu. Bang Zamy felt like he had seen the same thing. Bang Zamy said in his heart he had seen the mother. But where? Bang Zamy can't remember it yet.

"Assynolt...." Greetings RT sir who directly answered the host. Bang Zamy followed directly to the infaq package.

"It just so happens that RT has arrived. I've motokopi KTP Pangkalpinang we pack RT, please help to take care of moving souls." Men the age of the Zamy bang immediately entered the house and gave a copy of the ID card as much as three pieces. Because RT sir was chatting with his mother, the rather fat man gave his photocopy to bang Zamy. At a glance bang Zamy read the name listed in the photocopy of the top KTP.

"Rio Rahardi." Bang Zamy had just realized who this woman before him was. He had met when buying a takjil in front of the Jamik Pangkalpinang mosque. This woman, she was the one who had spoken seriously to Irwan. He gave Nisa twenty thousand pieces of money. And Rio Rahardi? Isn't that the name of Nindya's ex-husband on the wedding documents? Bang Zamy was confused.

"Sorry mom, have we met before?" Bang Zamy asked while giving a photocopy of the ID card to the RT pack. The middle-aged mother lowered her head, the look on her face mixed between surprise, sadness and shame.

"What's Annisa's grandmother's mother?" Is the mother Siti's mother who works at the Furniture Palace?" Is her former mother-in-law Nindya?" Bang Zamy member asked. But the mother was getting more and more down. His son, Rio who was paying attention approached to bang Zamy.

"Do you know my mother?" Rio seriously looked at bang Zamy.

"Yes, I know him in a limited way. And are you her ex-husband from Nindya?" Bang Zamy asked back. The RT pack's forehead rolled up his wrinkles in confusion.

"Mr Nindya? Wh who? Who is Nindya buk?" Rio asked his mother. His mother fell silent, she just stared for a moment at the Zamy bang.

"Sorry maybe you're wrong." The middle-aged woman replied slowly. But his gesture implies that he is simply trying to deny and avoid the question.

"Sorry ma'am, why it should be covered, is not this fasting month, tomorrow it's been eid. Let's not lie between us." Bang Zamy smiled trying to melt the atmosphere but still seriously responded to this coincidence.

"Sir Rio don't you have a child named Annisa?" Bang Zamy asked Rio again. But his face was getting more confused. Moreover, his wife, his face immediately turned red pias.

"Sorry sir. Sit first. I'm getting very confused hearing all this." Rio was completely confused. Bang Zamy please allow us a moment. She asked for her husband's full name by phone. And true, according to mbak Nindy based on divorce papers on her husband's name is Rio Rahardi.

"Sir, what's your name sir?" Rio asked to bang Zamy.

"Zamy's Yo, he's an obstetrician in Pangkalpinang, but his parents' house is near Mantri's alley. The big house with the second-most concrete fence at the end." Mr. RT explained. Bang Zamy just nodded and smiled.

"Look doctor Zamy, I just finished doing self-isolation. I just came from Borneo with my family. I haven't been home for years. Wander there since the end of High School, crude palm oil harvester labor and now my son is two, I just came home again. This is my wife's first time stepping on the land of Bangka. Please don't confuse him. And Siti, she's my only sister. He works at the Palace of Furniture. But Nindya? Annisa's? Who the hell are they?" Rio looked back repeatedly at his mother. But his mother took a deep breath over and over again without daring to stare at the Zamy bang.

"What does mother's relationship with Irwan mean?" Bang Zamy again asked his mother Rio.

"Irwan? Irwan's in prison for kidnapping?" Rio asked.

"Master Rio, Irwan that's what I mean." Bang Zamy enthusiastically replied.

"There's no relationship. He was just my high school friend back then. Because often meet us after school, so mother and mother Irwan know even become familiar." Rio explained. Bang Zamy nodded slightly understanding although still very confused. Then Bang Zamy made a video call to Nindya and showed Rio Rahardi's face.

"Mbak Nindy, is this your ex-husband? Annisa's dad?"

"Not Zam, I don't know him."

"But this is the correct ID card called Rio Rahardi you know mbak...."

"Owh that's it, but he's not Annisa's father lo deck." Nindya's mother assured. Then bang Zamy turned the camera towards his mother Rio.

"Why is mom there?" Madam Nindya immediately recognized.

"But if he knows Nindy?"

"His face will not be forgotten until I take my last breath." Nindya Ma'am replied. Bang Zamy and Rio astonished, RT sir confused increasingly becoming-so. Umpama followed the group walking. Mr. RT just joined in when they almost got to the destination. Mr. RT did not fully know about anything the group had encountered on the trip before he met them. Eyebrow and forehead pack RT race upward.

"Yes buk just say it. What did you do while I was gone?" Rio.

"Oh, my advice, you answer honestly the doctor's question. He's a good guy. As Chairman of RT, I also have to know the people. Moreover, mother just came home again after years of not coming home here. Even the time to bury the deceased mother does not come home." Mr. RT finally joined the stand. Rio's mother then took a deep breath. He started to open his voice.

"I'm sorry about Doc. I'm a lot wrong with the doctor's family."

"It doesn't matter." Bang Zamy replied. All of them, including Rio's wife who had just been silent in confusion, were preparing to listen to her in-laws talk.

"Actually the one who was caught by the people who raped Nindya was Irwan."

"Huh? Irwan?" Bang Zamy was shocked to hear that.

"Yes the Irwan. He was drunk at the time. Well because it was caught finally the police officer was forced by the citizens to marry Nindya. Because he did not want his family's reputation destroyed, at that time Pak Wahyu still served as the head of BKD Province, finally sought a solution. The old and dead Rio ID card is processed by Pak Wahyu into a new active ID card. And armed with a fake ID that Irwan married Nindya. In order to perfect the cleanliness of her family's reputation, Sofie, Nindya was entrusted to the house. Irwan also stayed and stayed at home once. And we did get paid Sofie's mom to hurt and make Nindya not feel at home and leave immediately."

"When I met at the ramadan market why do you pretend to be good?"

"The bus just found out that Nindy was apparently Mr. Ram's son, and he was with a great doctor at the Honey Bee clinic" the people said."

"Hud to lick means y?" Bang Zamy responded. Rio's mother is getting bowed.

"Thank you mother for the information, later if you are called as a witness, speak truthfully in the testimony. I'll be protected by the law, so there's no need to be afraid." Bang Zamy spoke firmly.

"Son doctor, please don't mention the problem. I'm scared because Sofie always threatens me not to open my mouth."

"Mother don't be afraid, we'll be with mom later. Oh yes we just lower everything sir erte package infaqnya." Bang Zamy spoke to RT sir who immediately lifted the remaining 2 packages to Rio's house.

"Where does Rio work now?" As already familiar bang Zamy asked Rio who looked dizzy hearing his mother's story.

"Not docking, want to clean up the house for a while, then want to find a job. I came back here because in Kalimantan I am no longer employed in oil palm plantations. The house in Pangkalpinang has been given to Siti by the mother. Yeah don't want to come back here 'cause this is all that's left. At least don't contract it that way." Rio was very friendly explaining.

"If you need a job later try to come home. My sister has a restaurant located in ex Cikulur. Just call me later." Bang Zamy gave me a business card. Rio was overjoyed to hear that.

"Thank you so much Doc, I really need a job." Rio smiled broadly with his wife. Only her mother still showed concern.

"Mother don't worry, I won't harm you. And this is just THR from me ma'am, take it." Bang Zamy took out hundreds of thousands of five from his black wallet which was placed in the pocket of his right pants. With the rest of the embarrassment, her mother Rio received the money and thanked him. Then bang Zamu tucked also in the pocket of RT pack with the same amount. Before returning home, Zamy also gave two hundred thousand pieces to his old son Rio, while the little one was still in his mother's arms.

"If you have time to play at home om ya lebaran, at home om later, om love vitamins. Don't forget to wear a mask." Bang Zamy stroked Rayhan's head, Rio's first child. Then bang Zamy say goodbye soon home.

****

As clever as the squirrel jumped, finally fell too, and as clever as storing the carcass, finally smelled too.

Two ancient proverbs that are still relevant to the current state of Irwan and his family. Arriving at the house of bang Zamy tells the story of the unraveling of Nindy's parents who were not expected at all.

"But how could Nindy not recognize Irwan when the abduction occurred?" Bang Zamy thoughtfully did not understand.

"When Irwan was still yelling, Nindynya was still fainted."

"Oh yes. But right when Irwan was taken to the police station?"

"Mbak Nindy was terrified, she didn't even dare look at the kidnappers. Looks like she's got a trauma too bang." I'm explaining. I think back to the time of the kidnapper on my wedding day. Mbak Nindy was shocked and with a frightened look on my face as I hugged. His fingers swerved into the clothes I was wearing. His eyes lowered without daring to look at those who were being led by the police.

"Yes. But so very coincidentally, apparently the ngaku-nya grandmother Annisa is a person around here who for economic reasons returned to Mentok." Bang Zamy still doesn't think.

"God is not sleeping, baby. God shows the truth in His own way." Bang Zamy was silent. He saw me who was busy surfing in cyberspace. Opened facebook looking for Irwan's profile on my friendship. I saved some pictures and I sent them through whatapp to Nindy's mom.

"Sir, do you know this guy?" The message is read, and it looks like Nindy is typing the message.

"Yes deck. How can you get a picture of him. That's Rio's picture, Nisa's father." Such was the reply of the innocent Nindya. Me and bang Zamy looked at. Not wrong anymore. Nindya's naive mother tricked a rancid garong like Irwan. How many lies there are men who are materialistic, who are always chasing to be my lover. She faked her identity at the wedding after previously raping*sa. Then oppress Nindy even with her family.

"Abang is not out of thought, meaning Annisa is the biological child of the Irwan...."

"Yes bang, adek also thinks so. We have to keep it a secret until Nisa's an adult. We have to work with Nindy's mom and Aunt Mira." Bang Zamy nodded at my answer.

"Where did you meet Rio?" Log in again mbak Nindy's message. I showed the contents of the message to bang Zamy.

"Jawab we'll tell you everything when we meet." Bang Zamy talk to me. Then I wrote as he said.

"okay." That's the only payoff.

"Nauraaaa.., try this chip son." Mama came to the living room where me and bang Zamy were sitting. He brought a small bowl of clear meatballs and a piece of beef ribs.

"Hadooohhh.., this mother is flirting with faith." Bang Zamy left me who instantly greedily scooped a spoonful for a spoonful of meatballs that mom had cooled for me. And finally all that was left was an empty bowl and a spoon.

"How does it feel? Is it fit yet?" Mom asked next to me.

"Hemz.., don't know mom. It's delicious."

"Yes Allah Nauraaa, nyicip already a bowl does not feel know. What about Iaaanggg...." Mother left me after tickling my waist and nape. I creeped out kegelian.

"She just knew how it felt when she had finished one pot of buuu...." Zamy shouted from inside the room. I smiled amusedly while mom was just shaking her head because of me.
