Enmeshed in the Love of a Married Man

8. Aryan Report

At 10:00 a.m., Arya returned home after finishing her report with her friend.

When he arrived home, he found the mother and Ayu were busy in their shop. Arya rushed into the stall after putting her things inside the room.

"What's your leg?" Ayu asked as she looked at Arya who was walking with a slight limp.

"Because of a minor incident, brother." Reply Arya.

"Have breakfast?" Ask Ayu again.

Arya just shook her head slowly.

"Yes, sit down. Later brother ready food for you." Ayu.

"Where's mom?" Ask Arya.

"Well, didn't you meet me at home? He said to the bathroom."

"Ohh..." Reply Arya then sat in an available chair.

Some customers are also busy eating their food. Arya thought about saying everything quickly to Ayu. He doesn't want to wait any longer.

Ayu also came near Arya with a plate of rice along with various dishes.

"You brought some souvenirs?" Tanya Ayu smiled.

Arya nodded then started eating her breakfast.

Because there are no new customers, Ayu then chose to sit with Arya and busy herself with chatting with Adi.

Arya looked at Ayu who kept smiling while typing on her phone screen.

'Do I tell you now?' thought Arya.

"Why do you keep seeing my brother? The food is not good, right? Or are you not feeling well anymore?" Ayu asked as she put the back of her hand on Arya's forehead.

"Ah brother, I'm fine." Arya brushed Ayu's hand off her forehead then continued her breakfast.

Ayu's phone rang, displaying Adi's name. Ayu smiled back.

"Yes, it's." Ayu said smiling.

'What if Adi already has a wife? What about Ayu?' again Arya thought about her meeting with Adi.

"By dong Mas." Say Ayu while getting up when there are customers who want to pay.

Arya continued to look at her brother who looked so cheerful while chatting with Adi. Arya can only hope, hopefully everything is fine for her brother's relationship with Adi.

'However the reality will be, the important thing is that I tell Kak Ayu first.' thought Arya again.

After finishing serving the buyer, Ayu again sat with Arya who happened to have finished eating.

Arya just kept staring at Ayu. Ayu who felt that Arya was about to say something then raised her eyebrows and asked.

"What's wrong? Looks like there's something you want to say to Brother."

Arya took a long breath.

"Gini Sister, yesterday in the city I met the same....."

"Yu, rice packs two yes. One use sambel, one don't." Said a woman whose age was identical to Ayu.

"Just Deck." Ayu said then stood up leaving Arya who shook her head.

'Hufft.... It seems like now is not the right time to talk to Ayu Kak.' Arya thought.

He stood up and brought his old dish to the back of the dishwasher. Arya washes herself the old dishes she eats and puts them on the available shelves. Then walk out.

"Aryan...." Call Ayu. "What did you say?" Tanya Ayu who had finished serving the buyers.

"Later on, brother. Now is not a good time." Reply Arya.

"Oh yeah, yeah, yeah." Ayu.

Arya nodded then turned to walk towards the house.

When he was about to enter the house, Arya passed by her mother.

"Loh, you're home?" Said Ms. Ida sticking her hand out as Arya wanted to regret it.

"Udah from earlier Mom. I even had breakfast at the shop. Where did Mom end up?" Ask Arya.

"My mother's stomach was very mules. So late in the bathroom." Reply Bu Ida giggled. "Oh yeah you're bringing me souvenirs."

"There's dong Bu. Just let me take it."

As Arya walked, Mother Ida who noticed the steps of her youngest son walked with a slightly limping step then became shocked. Madam Ida held Arya's hand.

"Why are your legs, son?" Ask Ms. Ida.

"It's just a small wound, ma'am. Fall into the hole." Arya said with a scratch on her head.

"Mother, I'm fine." Said Arya trying to hold the hand of Mother Ida who was about to hold her leg.

"It's okay how it is. Your man got to the limp path so. Here let me see." Ida insisted, he then lifted the leg of his beloved son and put it on his lap and saw the wound on his leg.

There are scratches that are not too deep, but what makes it look severe is because of bruises.

"Wait here and don't go anywhere. I'll get some warm water first. It must be compressed." Said Ms. Ida moving towards the kitchen.

"But Ma'am... Not really usaah..." Said Arya about to get up from her sitting position.

"If you get up, Mom scribbles you off the Family Card." Said Ms. Ida and walked into the kitchen.

"It's so cruel." Aryan.

*************

Her night....

Ayu, Bu Ida and Arya were sitting in the living room chatting and watching television after dinner.

'It's a good opportunity to talk.' Arya thought.

"Sister...."

Ayu and Bu Ida were compactly staring at Arya together. This made Arya nervous.

"You why the hell? What the fuck are you talking about? Feelings seem important." Tanya Ayu smiled.

Mom Ida's forehead shriveled. He looked at Arya full of probing.

"Arya wants to say something to you?" Ask Ms. Ida.

"Yes, ma'am, from this morning. Arya wants to say something to me. Don't know what to say. It seems serious." Ayu.

Mom looked to think.

"Gini Sister...."

"Aryan..." Mother Ida interrupted Arya's words and looked at her sharply. "Don't tell me you made a mistake at school? Don't tell me the wound on your leg was because you fought? Don't tell me the reason for the fight is because of the girl's seizure? Or maybe you want to marry young. You are still...."

"Mom...." Arya covered the mouth of Madam Ida with her palms of anxiety.

It made Mother Ida glare at him. Arya then releases her hand from the mouth of Bu Ida, while Ayu is only widened.

"Haha... Mother yes, her thoughts are like scenes in soap operas only."

"Yes, I haven't said anything. I've been thinking of the macem." Aryan Protest.

"Well what do you try?" Ask Ms. Ida.

"Eat first terrorize me." Answer Arya.

Arya then explained to Ayu and Bu Ida that she met Adi who was with a woman and also a small child during the study tour yesterday.

"Sorry Brother, does Kak Adi have a wife?" Aryan.

Ayu was about to answer Arya's question, but Madam Ida interrupted her first.

"This is it... I told you before, that Adi is definitely not a good man. Proof he has a wife." Said Ms. Ida.

Ayu can only smile and explain that the woman who was with Adi was named Sarah. She was the sister of Adi, who was like her a widow, and the little boy who was with them, whom Arya saw, was Sarah's son.

"The hell, brother? But why did the boy call Kak Adi Papa instead of Om or Uncle?" Ask Arya.

"Well, what's the reason?" Ask Ida again.

"That you two are already like gossip news presenters. You're Arya too, you're lemes." Gelak Ayu's.

"Yes I'm gini because I'm worried about my sister's relationship." Aryan's reply was serious.

Ayu then returned smiling.

"Mas Adi is clear everything is the same as me Mom. Mother Arya just calm down, if it is proven that what Arya suspects is true. I won't be able to continue my relationship with Mas Adi." Ayu.

Arya and Ida were silent.

"Udah ah, yuk mending just rest. It's night. Maybe tomorrow Mas Adi will come. Tomorrow we interrogate Mas Adi in person so you two can believe." Ayu said then walked into her room.

Madam Ida and Arya were just silent and busy with their respective thoughts.

While Ayu in the room laid her body on the bed and tried to close her eyes. But it feels so hard. He even thought about what Arya said.

'What if Arya's suspicions are correct? What if Mas Adi already has a wife and children? What am I supposed to do?' think Ayu.

In front of Arya and Bu Ida, Ayu did show herself so trusting Adi. But really deep down, Ayu still holds doubts. Given that he had several times he found Adi who every time he received a call from Sarah always just away from him.

"Well, tomorrow I'll go back to asking everything." Ayu.

Seriate....
