Heart Note

THE THIRTY FIVE PART

My days are now preoccupied with taking care of Rio and helping Papa in the company. So full of my time that there is no time to remember about Mas Leo, whose name is still deeply ingrained in the heart. With my busyness now, at least my days are not fulfilled just by thinking about Mas Leo.

My relationship with Mas Leo is fine and getting more compact as a parent for Rio. I'm happy because of it, happy because Mas Leo hasn't forgotten his position as Rio's father.

And my relationship with Rangga still remains as a friend, I do not want to have a serious relationship, let alone build a household hickshaw again, for the time being.

This afternoon, I'm getting ready to go home from the office. It's pretty solid my job today, tired it's for sure, but I'm enjoying it.

I just got in the car, my phone rang..

0812********.......

Number not known.

"Yes hello.." I answered the phone.

"Well.." That voice, I knew that voice. Mother. Mas Leo's mother, my former in-law.

"Father.." call him again.

"Yes." I replied briefly.

"Well, this is Mom, Ayu there's someone I want to talk to you about" Mother said on the other end.

"What's wrong?" my many.

"Well, I want to apologize to you" said Mother.

I just kept quiet.

"Well, you heard me, right?" abugn.

"Yes." I replied.

"Mother, apologize to you Ayu, I'm really sorry, because of what Mom did, you and Leo had to separate, and Leo did not want to talk to Mom at all, hopefully after you forgive Mom, Leo will change for Mom" he explained long.

"I apologize to Leo, we have nothing to do, between you and me, if you apologize to me for attracting Leo, you're wrong" I said.

"Come, I mean it"

"And one more thing, apologize to Rio, your flesh and blood, he's more hurt by your actions" I said.

"Yes, yes Mother will apologize to Rio, Mother's granddaughter"

"Good" I replied briefly.

"Father..."

"A long time ago, I didn't have time to talk about this, everything is done, you're free to marry Leo to any woman you like" I turned off the phone.

I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

I felt very disturbed just by hearing that woman's voice. The woman who has ruined everything belongs to me, belongs to Mas Leo, and Rio.

I really still hate him.

"Well, just for you Leo wants to open up, I beg you to talk to him to forgive me"

The message from the woman went into my salary.

I ignored that message.

Women are really shameless. Why should I help him, why did he ask for my help.

"Women are selfless, shameless" I said annoyed.

"Solve your problems and your mother immediately" as Mas Leo called me to ask Rio's situation.

"I mean solve your problems and your mother's, I don't like your mother constantly calling me to ask me to persuade you to forgive her, I don't like it!!" definitely firm.

"I'm not ready" he replied.

"It's none of my business, and I don't want to be involved in your business anymore, because it's none of my business!!" i'm upset.

"I'm sorry" he said, too.

"Yes... I'm sorry too, but I really don't like it, if your mom keeps calling me, annoying and troublesome!!" I'm getting upset remembering it.

"Yes, I understand, sorry"

"All right"

"Send my regards to Rio, tomorrow morning I call again, you also rest" he said.

"Okay, okay"

Phone disconnected.

Truly, it was not the intention of the heart to let go of my irritation towards Mas Leo, but remembering his mother, it was disgusting to me, my emotions were so unstoppable, hearing his name. How much do I hate him? Ja.

It is not felt, almost a year now I settled in Semarang. Now is the Rio school holiday, Mama and Papa invite Rio and Agus to take a vacation to Singapore next week, as well as checking the health of Papa and Mama there. Pakde Johan and Bude Sri. I'm the one who can't come, because the work is really crowded.

This Monday afternoon, I drove Rio to meet his Papa who just arrived in Semarang. We promised to meet at one of the malls in the city of Semarang, about 30 minutes from our residence.

Meeting her Papa was the thing Rio was waiting for. For months Rio and Mas Leo had to hold back Longing to meet, they could only let go of longing through phone and vudeo calls.

"So Rio's going to have a holiday?" asked Mas Rio, while we were eating ice cream together.

"Yes Pa" Rio replied.

"What a fun, must be exciting" the spirit of Mas Leo.

They laugh together.

I am so happy to see their happiness.

"Where are you?"my many.

"In C Yu's hotel" he answered.

I just nodded.

"Papa, it's still a long time?" Rio.

"Yes, Papa is here until Rio leaves for Singapore" Mas Leo replied.

"Yes"

"After that Papa will return to Jakarta again?" ask Rio again.

"It looks like Papa is going to visit grandma in Yogya" Mas Leo replied slowly.

I pretended not to hear.

"How about tomorrow morning we go swimming" Mas Leo asked.

"Iya Rio wants Pa" Rio replied in spirit.

"But.." I said.

"Well, tomorrow let me pick Rio up at home, you must be busy working, right?" said Mas Leo.

"All right" I replied briefly.
