Heart Note

PART TWENTY SIX

"Your decision is round?" ask me Rangga that afternoon.

"Yes" I replied.

Rangga and I accidentally met when I was buying house necessities at his Mall.

And Rangga invited me to have tea at one of the places he thought was instagramable.

"I'm sure you're a strong woman" she said, strengthening me.

I'm just smiling.

"I also heard from you if you quit the office?" tanyakanya.

"Yes" I replied briefly.

"What are your steps ahead?" ask Rangga again.

"Now, for now I just need a little space to breathe a little relieved, and get used to it" I said.

"May your decision be the best for you" he said.

"I hope so" I replied.

"And Rio?, does he already know?"

"Not yet, I myself am not ready to convey it, it takes strength to say it to Rio and my parents" I explained.

"Yes, saying it is definitely not an easy thing" he said.

"I thought about it too" I said.

"Tell me, be excited, the world is not over, you must rise from your slump" Rangga advised me.

"Yes" one sip of tea soaked my esophagus.

"Rangga, when you decide to divorce do you have trouble getting used to it?" my many.

"It's very difficult" he answered.

"But at that time I was sure that the decision we had taken was the best decision for us, although it was difficult for me to keep trying to get up, no matter how difficult it was" he explained.

I kept quiet about his explanation.

"Leo now does he still live in that house?" tanyakanya.

"No, he's staying in the office right now" I replied.

"It'll be easier for you to get used to" he explained.

"Yes, but the plan is to sell the house" I said.

"Why? Too bad Ayu" he said.

"Too big for myself" I replied.

"Can be for Rio's future later" he explained.

"Come" said I.

"Where are you going to live?" ask Rangga.

"Perhaps before I go back to Semarang, I will occupy my parents' apartment for a while" I explained.

"Well, what if your house is rented" Rangga gave his opinion.

"Yes, it could be" I said.

"I will help you Ayu" said Rangga.

"QThank you very much Rangga" I said.

I who was eating dinner was surprised by the presence of Mas Leo at home.

"Father"

"Yes" feels so awkward our mood tonight.

"You've had dinner, let's eat together" I bargained and hurried to fill this empty plate with rice for him.

"No need Ayu, I just want to take some of my clothes that are still left behind" he explained.

"Yes" I replied briefly.

"I have permission to enter your room" he said.

I nodded in agreement.

I continued my dinner.

Mas Leo exited the room by pushing one large suitcase. I who had just finished washing the dishes looked at him with a little pity.

"The room was empty" he said.

"Yes, I've done it, I'm moving out of this house" I said.

"Moving, why?" tanyakanya.

"This house is too big for me to occupy myself" I put a can of soda on it.

Leo accepted it, with a slightly forced smile.

"And what about this house" he said.

"Maybe I'll rent it" I explained and sat down on the dining table chair. Leo sat in front of me.

"Mas" said. Leo who had looked down immediately looked at my face.

"You're okay, right" I don't know why I'm worried about her.

"No, I'm not okay" he said.

"Eat regularly Mas and eat healthy food" I pay little attention.

"Well, I'm glad you're still paying attention to me" she said with a slight smile.

"You're still the father of my son, and I don't want Rio to be sad if you're sick" I reasoned.

"But unfortunately our status is now different, if only" said Mas Leo.

I just kept quiet awkwardly.

"You wait a minute, I'll cook you some food" I got up from before him and headed for the kitchen.

"Let's not bother" Mas Leo caught up with me.

"It's okay, it's not healthy to always eat instant food constantly" I said while removing food ingredients from the refrigerator.

Leo just kept quiet and helped me cook. We work in silence, dissolving in each other's minds.

After I finished cooking, I put some of the food I cooked into the food box. And also wrap some raw foods, which are easy to cook. Everything I put in the bag is quite large.

Leo came out of the toilet.

"Thank you Ayu, sorry to bother you" he said.

"No, it's ordinary" I said.

"It's been a long time not eating your cooking Ayu, already miss your cooking, I will definitely eat voraciously" he said with a smile sumringah.

"Sure, you really like my cooking" I said.

Hearing my own words I fell silent, as did Leo.

"Thank you very much" Mas Leo prepared to leave.

"Yes" there's a bit of a sense of not wanting Mas Leo to leave me alone in this house.

"Be careful in the streets" I said.

"Definitely" Mas Leo rubbed my head gently when we were already in front of the house.

"Oh yes Ayu, if you need my help to move call me yes" he said.

"Yes" I said.

"Have you found a new home?" say Leo again.

"I'll stay at Papa Kok Mas's apartment" I replied.

"Good, if I go home first" said Mas Leo.

I waved to Leo.

"Finally it's done too" said I who just moved to the Apartment.

"Here, drink it" Leo's been brewing instant coffee for me.

"Thank you Mas has helped me, I had a really hard time carrying these things" I said.

"All of this is not free" he said.

"So I have to pay her.?" my many.

"Yes" he answered briefly.

"But don't be weird" I said.

"You just need to cook me my favorite food, not weird" he asked.

"But I haven't been shopping yet" I said.

"It does not have to be today, if you are not busy, okay" he said.

"Alright" I sipped a coffee made by Mas Leo.

"Mas, what about Rio" I said.

"Are you ready?" ask Leo.

I'm silent. Doubt myself.

"I will take the time so that we can go to Semarang" said Mas Leo.

I looked at the face of Leo.

"Are you sure, Mom?" my many.

"Why? Doesn't Rio have to know, don't let Rio and your parents know from others" said Mas Leo.

"Mas" I'm still staring at Mas Leo.

"You need not be afraid, this is not your fault, this is all my fault Ayu" said Mas Leo.

"Mas" I said again.

Leo smiled at me. It was like giving me strength, whereas I knew what Mas Leo was feeling.

"You tired? Here I peed his legs" Mas Leo grabbed my feet.

"Don't do it" I took his hand off my leg. Leo is still forcing. I finally let it go.

Looking at Mas Leo who was scolding me. Memory a few years ago when I was pregnant Rio crossed my head. Where almost every night Mas Leo stomped my feet which is very easy to ache.

"Why smile?" Leo surprised me.

"Nothing" I answered wrongly. And immediately finished my coffee in one gulp.

"Surely you think the same as I think" said Mas Leo.

"What do you think?" aska I want to know.

"There" he replied laughing.

"What the hell" I hit Mas Leo's shoulder.

"So I remember when you were pregnant with Rio" she said.

"You always ask for foot massage, every night" he said with a smile.

I'm smiling too.

"I miss, I miss so much" Mas Leo looked down.

"Mas" I said touching her soft back.

"I'm still not used to Ayu, your shadows and Rio are always dancing beautifully in my head" Mas Leo looked into my eyes.

"We can definitely Mas" I corroborate.

Leo was silent.

Leo took the cup in front of me, and took it to the kitchen and washed it.

"Let me go home"

"You rest" he said.

"Thank you very much" I said.

"Don't forget your debt" said Mas Leo at the door.

"Yes, I'll tell you again" I said.

I closed the door after Mas Leo left.

Just about to step up, the doorbell rang again.

"Lho Mas" Mas Leo was already standing before me.

Quickly Mas Leo hugged my body tightly.

I didn't refuse that hug. It is undeniable that it still exists.
