Grasping Taste

Invitation

The long-covered wound seemed to come back refreshed, when he looked back at the face of the woman who had betrayed him. Rosa was stunned staring out the car window, the feeling of heartbreak was not only belongs to those who were young but her aged self was still feeling the same.

"Mom Rosa, all right?" ask driver. Yes, this time Rosa brought a different driver. He's the adjutant Rosa's been believing in.

"Yes, I'm fine. Go straight to my son's house!" rosa said. He still refuses to go home. Although, it had changed all the interiors of the house, but she was sure that if she saw the corner where when she saw her husband making love with the girl so eagerly, her heart still hurt.

Grasping the hurt feelings for years and keeping it tight so as not to hurt his son, it was like grasping an already inflamed feeling.

In the past, Rosa did not want to, Sabda was hurt. He didn't want his son to hate his father. He did not want his home destroyed. He will keep it, clutching his feelings firmly and will seal the disgrace forever.

"Bu Rosa, this has arrived" said the driver. Rosa, who had daydreamed, recalled the leaps of past events that were like chasing in her memory.

"You just go home! Later, if I want to go home or need you. I'll call you." Rosa said before she got out of the car.

Rosa opened her sunglasses, then rubbed her wet eyes. The woman who always appeared elegant was finally stepping into the house.

"Assalamu'alaikum." said Rosa when she entered the house.

"Waalaikum salam." answered Sabda and Aruna in the middle room. Sabda was justifying Aruna's position so that his wife could sleep comfortably.

"When are you guys home?" asked Rosa who then chose to sit near her daughter-in-law, after asking Ms. Ninik to make her sweet tea.

"Just now, Ma. The doctor has re-examined Aruna and the baby." Sabda explained. He chose to sit at his wife's feet.

"Where's my mom from?" ask Sabda when she sees her mother's face is different than usual.

"From a gathering of friends, Mama." answered Rosa still covered everything. Even the word did not continue his question, he knew his mother was lying.

"What's your condition, Run?" ask Rosa.

"It's better, Ma." replied Aruna, a sincere smile engraved on the corner of Aruna's tiny lips. Today, he feels much better.

"You know you're a strong woman, but learn to be assertive and not to be too naive" Rosa said. He hopes Aruna can learn from everything that has happened.

"Now there are many women who have no feelings, do not know themselves and are selfish. Those who prefer the husband of that person will not care about anything, let alone think about the feelings of others. He also did not feel guilty. Mama hopes you can be more careful. Don't let any other woman into your family." continued Rosa.

The woman who now sips her sweet tea is so traumatized by her past. Bringing a girl who looks innocent and intends to give her up, instead ends in betrayal.

"Yes, Ma." Aruna looked at Rosa so deeply. He could see, he was very different, there was a tinge of sadness in the recesses of his eyes.

"Mama's fine, right?" search Aruna with curiosity.

"Yes, Mama looks tired." said the Word chimed.

"You too, Da. Write a good story for your life, one day when you are gone, your children will remember you as the best father and role model husband."

"What can a dead man leave behind. Just a story, nothing more." continued Rosa. Aruna and Sabda looked at Rosa with a strange feeling. The always excited woman looked very tired.

"Sabda knows, Ma. The Word will not repeat the same mistake." Sabda felt his mother brought back his guilt with Aninditha. But, he did not deny that what his mother said was indeed true.

The afternoon became full of family. Rosa became a close mother figure with her son and daughter-in-law. If she had been this close to the family, she might not have found betrayal from her husband. Rosa realizes, if she has a wrong share with past stories that create stains in her family.

"When do we look at Runa?" ask Amanda to Nina, who is busy writing financial statement songs.

"Later in the afternoon, yeah!" suhut Nina is still focused on the laptop in front of her.

Seeing Nina who was still busy typing, Amanda chose to see the stock of some mucus that was expected to be crowded before the fasting month.

Amanda walked through the main door, a glass door with a glass window made her see clearly someone who was walking in.

Abimana with a woman. He'd seen that woman if it wasn't wrong.

"Welcome, Mas Abi." said Amanda as Abimana walked in and pulled the arm of a slim, white woman.

"There's a meaning?" abimana asked Amanda who was looking at her carefully.

"Mak Arunanya did not come, Mas." replied Amanda. The girl was guessing who the beautiful woman who was now with Abimana was.

"Well I thought he was coming." said Abimana looking disappointed. Meanwhile, Amanda was still researching the beautiful girl in front of her.

"Please give this invitation to Aruna! I hope she can come." Abiman gave up her engagement invitation with Mariska on Amanda.

"Mas Abi will be engaged?" amanda's reflex questions made Abiman look at her strangely.

"Yes, why?" timpal Abimana made Amanda realize the question was too ridiculous.

The girl laughed discordantly at the thought of her ketololol. Obviously going to get engaged, come to the boutique also to give an invitation.

"Not what. Congratulations Mas Abi, good luck." replied Amanda dispelled the awkwardness.

"That means we go home, huh, Bi?" said Mariska who had just fallen silent. She was reluctant to apologize to Aruna, but it was Abimana's requirement to be engaged to her.

"Yes, but you must apologize to Aruna before our engagement" Abimana replied.

Amanda who heard that was confused, no matter what relationship they were in. But, Amanda was sure not so fast that the oriental-faced man forgot about Aruna.

"Abi, let's go home yuk!" Mariska was embarrassed by Abimana's words just now. Moreover, be aware of Amanda's gaze that was filled with probing.

"Me, go back, Nda. When to play at home? Arimbi is lonely." Abimana said to Amanda.

"When-when, Mom. I still haven't made it to Hehehe's house." welcome Amanda wrongly.

Nina who from afar saw their conversation was curious. She knows exactly who the girl is with Abimana because Mariska was once a customer she shopped for.

The cute black girl walked over to Amanda who was still staring at Abimana's departure. He patted Amanda's little shoulder, "Ih. don't be like a broken hearted man donk, Nda!" nina Goda.

"Who likes the same Mas Abi. Anyway I know Mas Abi's love is still for Ms. Aruna." explained Amanda. He focused on college and money.

"What do they need?" continued Nina.

"Given the invitation to Ms. Aruna. They'll be engaged." Amanda replied. The girl left Nina to check the stock in the storefront
