Heart Note

SECTION SIX

Pov Ayu's

At eight o'clock in the evening, there was no sign of Leo and Mom coming home. Tired of waiting, and tired of the day's work, this drowsiness came. After accompanying Rio in his room until Rio fell asleep, I also headed to my room to rest.

Hp Mas Leo who was left behind seemed to light up, when I was going to turn off the room lights. I saw one incoming message from an unknown number, visible on the home screen hp Mas Leo.

"Thank you Leo." That's all I read, I didn't dare open the message, maybe it was from Leo's co-worker. I put the HP of Leo back on the table and I turned off the lights, and went to bed to rest.

"What time was it last night?" my broom in the morning, as Mas Leo sat sweetly in front of me, at the dinner table.

"Nine nights, baby" he answered.

"Where is Mom? Rio kok not invited" asked again, while putting fried rice on the plate.

"Mom just asked for antherin, and then when I wanted to go home Mother forbid, she said afraid to go home alone by taxi" explained Mas Leo.

"Rio where?" ask Leo.

"Rio has gone with Dafa, in Anterin Mbak Riska" I replied.

"That's so early" muttered Mas Leo.

"There are school activities" I answered briefly

Mom sat down to prepare for breakfast.

"Leo thank you dear for last night" said Mother, but Mas Leo seemed indifferent even did not answer Mother's words.

I became confused to see the attitude of Mas Leo to Mother, what really happened, why Mas Leo seemed reluctant to linger near Mom. What is Leo hiding from me?

Even though I was uncomfortable, my heart and mind were always wondering, what happened between Mom and Mas Leo, and what Mas Leo was really hiding, Leo never kept anything from me. That's why I feel like there's something wrong between Mom and Mas Leo.

My phone rang to break my daydream.

"Yes Mas" I said as I answered Mas Leo's call.

" dear, are you busy today? " ask Leo

" No, I just check the report again, why Mas? tumbens?" answer me and ask back.

"Mas got a party invitation from Mr Satrya, celebrated his 50th wedding and celebrated his health gradually improved, can you not Temenin Mas? " obviously.

"Can, when? what time's? " many more.

" Next night at seven" replied Mas Leo.

" okay" I said.

"i'll meet you later at home yes, I want to continue working first, happy work baby, don't forget lunch" explained Mas Leo reminded me.

"Yes dear" I replied and the call was interrupted.

"I don't have a meeting today, do I?" I asked Ani when Ani was in my room.

"No ma'am "he answered.

"Yaudah this report I have read everything Yes Ani, that I ask a little fixed" I explained while submitting a report to Ani.

"Yes Ma'am "Ani replied

"Yes you have continued working again yes" I ordered him, and Ani also said leave the room.

"I'm always satisfied with your work Yu" the head of the office, Ms. Fatma, praised me, as Ms. Fatma invited me to lunch in her room.

"Thank you ma'am, it is my duty" I replied humbly.

"Yes.and you care so much for your staff, that's why they are so excited to work" Ibu Fatma said.

I smiled in response to Ms. Fatma's praise.

We continued to have lunch together.

"Your mother-in-law is still here Yu?" ma'am Fatma asked after we finished lunch.

"Still Mom" I replied casually.

"You've been in trouble since he's been here?" obviously Ms. Fatma knew about my mother-in-law, Ms. Fatma was not just my boss, she was like Mom and my best friend.

"That's how it is" I replied presumably.

"You're a great woman Ayu, an uphill career, a patient daughter-in-law, a good mother and wife, no matter what happens you're always professional and totality in everything, that's what I love about you" obviously Ms. Fatma.

"One's nature is hard to change Yu, you have to stay strong" Fatma's mother strengthened my heart, and holding my hand encouraged me.

"You've always been a good listener to me Yu, you've strengthened me when my husband stays forever, I'll always be there for you" Ms Fatma said, recalling the past, tears were seen in the eyes of the green hijab woman.

"I'm sorry if I interfere too much with your personal affairs Rahayu, but you've been considered like my own family" said Ms. Fatma.

"It's okay, ma'am" I replied.

"Last night, I saw your husband and his mother meet someone at the coffee shop***, it just so happened to be my son's shop" I was drinking tea, looking directly at Ms. Fatma.

"Yes Ma'am, he's meeting a friend of Mother-in-law's" I replied.

"Friends? young lady? and he came alone?" said Ms. Fatma was confused.

"I'm just afraid your mother-in-law has no intention of being kind to you Ayu" Ms Fatma said

I shaved the tea again even though I was not thirsty, I looked nervous and confused.

"Sorry, not to confuse you, I hope you are more careful" said Ms Fatma.

"May what I think is not true Ayu" said Ms. Fatma again.

"Mom don't need to apologize, instead I thank Mom" I replied.

"Then, if you'll excuse me, ma'am, there's still work to be done" I said goodbye to Ms. Fatma.

"Yes Ayu, you can go home if your situation is not okay, once again I apologize" said Ms. Fatma felt guilty. I nodded and left Miss Fatma.

"*T**thank you Leo*.." The message I half read from Mas Leo's phone last night rang in my head.

"What does this have to do with the passing of Mas Leo and Mom last night, and what did Ms Fatma tell you earlier?" my inner.

"Is that woman really Mom's friend, or?" inner again.

"What's really going on, Mom is looking excited this morning and Mas Leo is looking away from Mom, what all has to do with the story of Ms. Fatma was "my mind keeps talking, my head is dizzy thinking about it.

I drove the car home, I saw the clock showing at two in the afternoon. I parked the car and went inside the house. I saw Mom calling someone happily in my backyard. I went into the room and rested my mind.

"You've come home, how come there's no greetings, what is this mother statue?" my mother screamed a little from outside my room.

I came out of the room and answered my mother's words.

"Mom seemed fun calling, Ayu just didn't want to bother" I passed to the kitchen, to get a glass of water.

"Let's rest Mom, Ayu's head is dizzy" I said as I entered the room.

"Darling.honey" Leo shook my body.

"Let's get up" Mas Leo ordered, it turns out I fell asleep earlier.

"Yes" I answered and sat on the side of the bed.

"You're sick, you're home from work?" ask Leo.

"Yes, I was a little dizzy but now I'm not" I replied.

"Let's get ready, so I'll go to the party" Mas Leo took me while pulling my hand.

I went to the bathroom too.

After taking a shower I came out of the room to meet Rio, I just stepped out of the room, I saw Rio was chatting with Mom, before long Rio stood up and left Mother, Rio looked angry. It turned out that Leo also saw what I saw, we looked, Mas Leo immediately ran towards Rio's room. I wanted to catch up with Rio's room, but in front of Rio's room door I fell silent after hearing Rio's words

"Rio doesn't like Grandma Pa, Rio doesn't like Grandma always teasing Mama in front of Rio" Rio said

"Sorry Grandma Rio?" mas Leo.

"Why did you Grandma never like you? did Mama ever do anything wrong with Grandma?" ask Rio again. Leo did not speak.

"Rio also heard everything Grandma said to Papa at that time, Rio did not like Grandma for a long time here Pa" Rio's remark made me again wonder, what is really going on? why is Rio so angry at his Grandma?

I quickly entered my room when Mas Leo was going to come out of Rio's room, I didn't want Mas Leo to know that I heard everything.

Six o'clock and thirty minutes, Mas Leo and I are ready for Mr. Satrya's party. I also say goodbye to Rio who is still locked in the room, and Rio said he wanted to go to Daffa, my neighbor's daughter Riska. Rio was saying goodbye to his Lap, and left the house to the next door neighbor's house.

"We're going, ma'am?" my goodbye to Mom, I just kept quiet without an answer, Mom was engrossed in playing her phone. I left Mom, and waited for Mas Leo in the living room.

"We're leaving, ma'am" I heard Mas Leo saying goodbye

"Yes be careful" replied the friendly mother.

As long as I was in the car more silent, my mind and heart were full of questions and suspicions. Mas Leo looks fun driving while following the music from the car tape.

"Welcome Mr. Leo and Ms. Rahayu" said Mr. Satrya as we entered his house.

"Thank you for taking the time to come Bu Ayu and Mr. Leo" said his wife continued with cupika cupiki.

"Sama-sama Mother" I replied.

"Come, sir, enjoy our meal" said Mr. Satrya again.

"Thank you" I replied and Mas Leo in unison.

Me and Leo took a glass of orange juice that had been served. And we continued by chatting with the other guests. Mas Leo looked engrossed in conversation, I left Mas Leo, looking for an empty seat. My feet are tired for too long standing.

"Only alone?" greet someone and sit next to me.

"The ladder?" kataku shocked.

"You were invited here too?" ask again.

"Yes dong" he replied proudly. I just laughed at the answer.

"Only alone?" ask again.

"Who should be the same?" Rangga asked back.

"Your wife? why not bring it?" my many.

"Maha..." Rangga laughed at my question.

"Why laugh?" i'm astonished.

"You're trying to cut me?" ask her while smiling widely. I just kept quiet, I didn't understand what he meant.

"I'm jones Ayu, single ngenesss" he replied with a laugh.

"Lying.sin you know" I said.

"Do you really not know?" ask Rangga.

"All I know is you're married, right?" I answered as I wished.

"That was, now jonesssss" he said pretending to be sad

"Divorce? it's been a long time" my kepo soul rose.

"Udah is very long, lasted only two years" he replied seriously.

"And your son?" ask again.

"I have no children" he answered.

"I really don't know Rangga, sorry huh?" my door to him.

"No papa, just normal again" he replied casually.

"Why not marry again ngga, let go anywhere not alone" said I gave a solution.

"Fear of being betrayed again Yu, so lazy" he said.

"Who will take care of you when you are old?" saskan.

"You" he answered briefly.

"What the hell" I said. Rangga laughed at my expression.

"Honey you're here "Mas Leo approached me who was chatting with Rangga.

" What is Leo? yes I'm here daritadi, my feet pegel stand still, eh yes Mas, this know my old high school friend, Rangga" I introduced Rangga to Mas Leo.

"These people know my husband" I told Rangga. Rangga and Leo also met.

"Yu I went there?" pamit Rangga to me, me and Mas Leo also agreed.

"Akrab very similar Rangga" said my husband opened a chat in the car when we went home.

"Like that" I replied.

"What's the conversation?" ask Leo to know.

"Many, talk in school first, and talk about work" I answered honestly.

"ooh" said Mas Leo briefly.

We were in each other's minds on our way home.
