Mom's story



Riri came out of the bathroom already finished bathing and looked fresher. He walked forward


the mirror while drying her hair. Elo was still sitting on the bed


already wearing his trousers.


Riri : “Mas, shower first there. Where's Mama Ratna?”


Elo : “Mama uda out. We are looking forward to breakfast.”


Riri : “It's how I came out first, yes mas.”


Elo : “Don't dong. We're the same as getting out. Wait for me.”


The two of them were silent for a moment, as if they had said something absurd. Both


glancing at each other and returning with their respective activities.


You go into the bathroom and come out 5 minutes later. Riri frowned because


Elo out so fast.


Riri : “Mas shower not sich?”


Elo : “Mandi kok.”


Riri : “Why


really spit?”


Elo : “Hehe...


two-finger bath.. the same brush your teeth aja.”


Riri : “Iihh, dirty


really, mas. Don't be whipped.”


Elo : “Ntar me


shower again. Curious to meet my mom. You're not curious?”


Riri : “Iya, mas.


Same.”


They finally


get out of the room. The dining table was full of food but it was not


looks like anybody's there. Elo called the waiter and asked where mom was


Ratna. The servant replied that Ratna's mother was waiting for them both in the


reading room.


Elo : “Ri, we


breakfast first yes. Just met mama.”


Riri only


nodding, he was confused too. But he remembered his brother,


Riri : “Where is Rio


and Kaori?”


Elo asked again


at the servant who was still standing there about Rio and Kaori's whereabouts. Servant maid


it said that Rio and Kaori had already left with Rebecca. They want


bought some souvenirs to take home this afternoon.


When finished


having breakfast, Elo leads Riri to the reading room. But before you get in there, Elo


holding both of Riri's shoulders and talking very seriously to her.


Elo : “I beg you


you focus yes. We need to know what happened last night. Don't pay attention


other things.”


Riri : “Iya, mas.


I'll focus.”


Riri is determined to


focus even though he himself is confused about why to focus and what other things mean


Elo. The two of them entered into the reading room, and Riri instantly forgot


the goal is to get in there. He was fascinated to see the books


it filled almost the entire wall of the room.


Elo is approaching


her mother who was sitting on the sofa, as she turned her head, she saw Riri walking straight


look at the books that are there.


Elo : “Jeez,


Riri.”


Mama Ratna : “Let


him, Angelo. You like it here, Ri?”


Riri : “Iya, mah.”


Riri replied without turning his head, he observed the title of the book on one of the shelves.


Mom Ratna : “Riri


would like to stay here.”


Riri : “Iya, mah.


Uh... mommy..” Riri grinned as she walked closer to the sofa. He looked at Elo


with an apologetic look that makes Elo think that Riri is very cute.


Elo's face glared at Riri. Riri sat down beside Elo,


Elo : “Mah, can


what story happened? Do you not know why?”


Mama Ratna : “Not it


that's what you expected? Waking up with Riri?”


Riri's face blushed


seeing mama Ratna smile at him. He was surprised to see Elo nod


steadily, though,


Elo : “Iya, anyway


mah. Really want, but I can..”.


Mom Ratna : “Yang


mama is confused why Riri did not wear clothes huh? It looks like his shirt


still intact dech.”


Elo looked at Riri


who was also looking at him, he recalled the incident back when Riri's blanket


sag. Elo cleared his throat, trying to focus himself again.


Elo : “Elo not know,


really. Ri, you have to believe, I don't know anything.”


Riri : “Riri too


not inget, mah.”


Seeing Riri's reaction,


Elo doubted that he didn't touch Riri last night. He is inside


the effect of drugs and unconsciousness. It could have been him who had undressed Riri. Facial


elo's shriveling was noticed by his mother.


Mom Ratna : “Angelo...


looks like you remember something..”


Elo : “What? Naw,


mah...” Elo's face was redder than Riri's.


Mom Ratna : “Mama


you know you're lying, Angelo. Tell the truth.”


Elo : “Why mom


so the focus is on Elo sich? You don't remember, okay. Maybe Elo took off his shirt


Riri, but Elo doesn't remember.”


Feature : “Mass..”


Riri stared in disbelief at Elo.


Elo : “Ri, I


Mom Ratna : “You


this is not very impatient. Let’s see.”.


Mama Ratna is interesting


take a deep breath before you start talking.


Mom Ratna : “Mama

separate you.”


Elo : “What?!”


Riri : “Mas, relax


back then. Listen to mama.”'s story


Mama Ratna


smiling at the way Riri held back Elo's emotions. The softness of Riri makes Elo


calm back.

Elo : “Mama mean?”


Mom Ratna : “Pak Kim

until Mr Kim intervenes, right?”


Elo said with


be careful and whisper a little,


Elo : “What's up


dead?”


Riri shuddered


looking at Elo, Mr. Kim looks like he's not the type of person who can kill anyone else.


Mama Ratna :“Only


broken in some parts of the body, especially those who have dared to touch Riri.”


Riri : “Ooh..”


Riri closed


his mouth with his hands, he was very surprised by what Mr. Kim had done


to him.


Elo : “Ri, no


dreaded. Mr. Kim is only so on bad guys.”


Mom Ratna : “Why


you didn't call mom when Riri disappeared? And you agreed to follow the game


dinner with Elena, my God, Angelo. What are you thinking?”


Feature : “Mas..”


Riri's eyes started to glaze over.


Elo : “Everything


it happened so fast, mah. That's just a meaningless dinner, Ri. I did so


I can tell where you're being held.”


Mom Ratna : “Dan


his drink? You know, Elena put a pretty strong stimulant inside


your drink.”


Elo : “Medicine


a stimulant?! Means last night.. me and Riri.”.


Elo looked at


Riri quickly, Riri suddenly felt her stomach nauseous. His heart is beating


with a bang, he shook quickly.


Riri : “Ngak


in all probability. I don't think anything's wrong, mas.”


Elo : “But the


I'm taking that stimulant, Ri. It's impossible nothing happened last night.”


Elo looked at his mother


she shrugged her shoulders as if she said she didn't know either.


Elo : “What we are


can test it?”


Riri : “Tes? Tests


what?”


Elo : “We go to


doctor and you can divisum.”


Riri : “What?! Nope!


That's very embarrassing.”


Riri started hugging


his body, he shifted from Elo's side. Elo could see Riri's back shaking, he


looks frightened.


Mama Ratna :“Then


you're not sure, how about you get married? At least Elo can


take responsibility with you, Riri.”


Riri : “Married?


Now?”


Mom Ratna : “Yes,


dear. Mama, you think your parents don't mind either. After all, you two are


victims here.”


Riri looked at Elo


who looked at him expectantly. Riri was really confused as to what to say.
