Heart Note

SECTION ELEVEN

I'm ready to go to the office this morning. I saw Mas Leo and Rio were joking at the dinner table. Waiting for breakfast with me.

"Mommy misfortune?" rio asked as he looked at me towards the kitchen.

"No" I answered

"Where's breakfast?" rio asked again, Mas Leo is also waiting for an answer from me.

"Today we have breakfast bread, baby, is it okay?" answer me and put my briefcase on the dinner table.

"OK deh Ma" Rio answered giving me his thumbs up.

I took Bread and jam from the cupboard and took the liquid milk from inside the refrigerator. I pour milk in three glasses, and bread quolition with chocolate jam. I did it without a sound, somehow it feels like this morning my mouth is very heavy to join in on the joke with Rio and Mas Leo.

"It's eaten breakfast" they immediately stopped while chatting and joking.

Mas Leo looked at my face, maybe he noticed my change in attitude this morning. I kept quiet and pretended not to know that Mas Leo was watching me.

"Rio today as usual Mama who nganterin you" said I put emphasis in. I stood to clean up the breakfast leftovers. I lift the plate and the glass to the sink.

"Let me just Mas" I said when Mas Leo wanted to help me store milk in the refrigerator.

"Let's go get Rio's nagnterin" Mas Leo said as I washed my hands in the sink.

I turned around.

"That's okay let me" I answered looking into his eyes and gave a makeshift smile.

"Rio is no longer left behind" I asked Rio who was wearing his school shoes.

"No, Ma." he answered.

"Let's go later" I said.

Rio said goodbye to his papa. I left Mas Leo still standing in the kitchen.

"Don't forget to lock the door" I said and closed the door.

In the car Rio and I were more silent. Rio who is engrossed in paying attention to the streets, while I am driving with mind filled with questions about Mas Rio.

"Yes..."

"Hmmm" answered me, who was still driving.

"Rio may not be able to go home by public transportation" said Rio

"alone?" my many.

"Not really rame-rame, same Daffa and our complex children who are in school with Rio" explained Rio.

"By.but don't wander anywhere" my orders were firm.

"Yes... Thanks Ma" said Rio glad.

"Here.." I gave Rio money. When we got to the front of the school.

"For what?" rio asked confusedly.

"He said he wanted to go home on public transport, this is Mama giving money for the fare" I explained to Rio.

"Yes" Rio took the money and got out of the car after saying goodbye and shaking hands with me. I left Rio's school when I saw Rio had already entered the school gate.

I'm driving the car to the office. But on the way I turned left, while my office should have kept straight. I got off at the little buffet that sold my subscription breakfast back in school. It feels like this morning I really want to breathe the aroma of coffee and a plate of rice sitting.

I sat in the corner seat. Because that's the only empty seat left, this Betty buffet is always rame in the morning. One by one my orders arrived. I inhaled the aroma of coffee before I gripped the hot coffee.

"Well.." Someone greeted me and sat down in front of me. I am very familiar with that voice.

I smile because my mouth is full of rice.

"So far from breakfast" he said, who also ordered rice and one cup of coffee.

"After coming here, can't you?" my answer.

"Can't dong" he replied with a mischievous smile.

"You still have breakfast here?" ask the guy who wears the turquoise t-shirt and knee-length pants.

"Almost every day" he answered with his mouth full.

"Aren't you working?" ask again.

"Work but later, every morning I come here with a bicycle all sports" he replied.

"Ooh that" I answered and continued eating.

"Let me pay later" he said.

"Wah funnih, early in the morning I have been in the treaty" said I meredek.

Rangga stood towards the cashier. I followed him too.

"You're all right, right?" asked Rangga when we came out Buffet Betty.

"Yes, I'm fine" I replied.

"Thank God, because your eyes and face reveal if you are not doing well" said Rangga.

"What the hell, you know" I said while hitting his shoulder. Rangga was just stung by my treatment.

"Well.." call Rangga when I'm about to walk towards the car.

I turned around when he called.

Rangga walked towards me.

"Call me if you have any more problems, I will always be there for you" he said seriously.

"Yes, thank you for the attention" I replied with a smile.

I left Buffey Betty and Rangga still standing on the sidewalk watching my car. I can see it from the rearview mirror of the car.

Rangga, your attention has never changed. It should be very lucky that the person who is your partner. But your kindness was avenged by betrayal by your ex-wife.

"You look more beautiful with a smile, smile always and always" Rangga sent me a message when I was busy struggling with my work.

"Heeiii... I am a wife and a mother" I replied with a smile.

"Yes people's wives and people's mothers" she replied, making me smile more and more.

I never got a message from him again. I was again busy with the work that piled up with Ani my secretary.

I'm coming home by night. I'm so tired, all my work today is deadline. So that Ani and I today work extra.

Leo and Rio are watching a football game on TV. Leo looked at me, I was dumb and went into the room.

After finishing cleaning myself and changing clothes, I went out of the room to the kitchen to fill the stomach that had been struggling to be filled.

"alone?" I greet Rio who is watching TV by himself.

"Why answer Ma's phone, is that outside?" rio replied while pointing at Mas Leo who was on the phone in the backyard.

"Have you eaten?" ask again.

"Already Ma, papa buyin fried duck, that's what Mama is on the dining table" he replied with eyes still focused on the TV.

I opened the hood at the dinner table. Right, there's my favorite fried duck and Rio. I took a plate and a rice quiz and began my prayer to continue my dinner.

Mas Rio entered the house after receiving a call.

"I haven't bought you for a long time like Rio's fried duck" Mas Leo said and sat down in front of me.

"Thank you" I replied.

Mas Rio stood filling my glass with white water. And sit back in front of me.

Mas Leo kept watching me who was eating voraciously.

"Why Mas? Is something wrong?" my many.

"It's okay" replied Mas Leo briefly.

I can see the look in Leo's eyes. Those clear and beautiful eyes, implying something difficult to quantify. Sad, happy to be together there.

I stood to clean up the rest of my dinner, and washed the dishes. I see Mas Leo still faithfully sitting at the dining table. I sat back in front of him holding a glass of water.

"Mass?" call me.

Leo looked at me.

"Why? Is there anything you want to tell me?" my many.

"tell me? Nothing?" leo answered as if covering something up.

"Well, may I ask you this?" my many. Maybe this is the right time I think.

"Can" replied Mas Leo briefly.

"Last Sunday, I met Yuni at one of the malls"

Leo was silent. And confusion.

"Why don't I know if Yuni has resigned?" my many.

"I haven't had the time to tell, because of this busyness, and I don't want to add to the burden of your mind" Mas Leo replied a little nervously.

"Yuni also told me if there are 3 menthor who also resigned" I said again.

"Why Mas? What's the problem?" my many.

"There's no dear" Mas Leo still wanted to dodge.

"Why are their rights not being fulfilled?" manya curious.

"Sorry baby, actually there is a little problem, Mas ordered some additional musical instruments, all the payment money has been given, but it turns out the goods are not there, Mas deceived" explained Mas Leo lowered his head.

"Well, why don't you tell me? I can definitely help, and we'll report it to the authorities" I said

"Don't... Mas knows well with people, now Mas is still waiting for his good faith alone" explained Mas Leo who has not satisfied my heart. I'm sure there's more that Mas Leo is covering up.

"And...Mas embarrassed if telling the same to you, it's enough that Mas has been troublesome for you and your family. From the beginning Papa gave a large capital for this Mas business, Mas does not want to add to the burden of your mind and Papa" explained Mas Leo.

"Yes Mas... Hopefully your problem will be solved quickly yes" I said briefly.

I still do not believe in Mas Leo's explanation earlier, it seems there is still a reality that actually Mas Leo covered. Leo slept well beside me. While I was still awake with everything that was going on . I'm pretty sure there's still something Mas Leo is covering up for me.
