Heart Note

SECTION EIGHT

Today is Rio's first day of school. Mas Leo, a music art teacher, also had a teaching holiday, and the course closed during the holidays. I haven't decided where we're going.

Mas Leo and Rio were in the living room, busy with their phones. Just about to meet them in the living room, my HP rang from inside the room. I saw my mom calling.

"Hallo yes Ma"

"Care, are you busy?" ask your mom at the end of the phone.

"No Ma, Ayu is on leave, why Ma?"

"Why can you go back to Semarang, then,? Papa's sick" Mama's voice was heard holding back a cry.

"Why Ma?" manya panic.

"Not knowing son, now Papa again in the doctor's examination, Papa fell at home" replied Mama while crying.

"Who's Mama now? Mama just calm down, Ayu try to go home to Semarang today, Mama don't panic huh?" I strengthened Mama.

"Yes dear.you also do not panic, here Mama di befriend Bude Sri" explained Mama.

"Yaudah later Ayu told Mama again" I decided on a call from Mama. My heart can't lie, I'm really panicking and worrying.

"Bag.."

"Hmmm why, baby?" mas Leo replied, still engrossed in his cell phone.

"Mas I want to go home to Semarang, Papa is sick" my tears fell uncompromisingly.

Rio and Mas Leo looked at me together and approached towards me.

"Judah I order a ticket now, you ready the clothes we will bring, Rio also packing yes son "Mas Leo gave a firm order. Without a cue Rio and I instantly prepared the clothes we were going to bring.

Once everything is ready. We're getting ready to go. Previously Mas Leo had left home to the RT and Satpam complex, not to forget we also leave the house to the neighbors, especially Mas Agung husband Mbak Riska. After all the business was done, we just waited for an online taxi.

"Jeng, be careful on the road, do not panic, hopefully you get better soon" said Mbak Riska, when accompanying us waiting for a taxi.

"Don't worry, later we will take care of Mr. Leo's house" said Mr. RT.

We were ready to head to the airport after saying goodbye to the neighbors of the complex.

Arriving at Semarang Airport, we were picked up by Papa driver, Pakde Johan. Pakde Johan has worked with Papa for a long time, since I was little Lakde Johan and Bude Sri his wife has worked at our house. About 30 years of service to our family, Pakde is two years older than Papa. For us Pakde Johan and Bude Sri are not just people who work in our family. But they are like their own family.

"Our father went straight to the hospital" my husband said opening a chat.

"Good den" replied Pakde Johan obediently.

I was just speechless thinking of Papa who was sick.

Arriving at our Hospital directly to the room where papa is treated. When I entered the room, my mother hugged me. Mama is no longer crying, Nama looks a little calm. I approached and sat to the left of Papa, I held Papa's hand which was decorated with an infusion hose. Papa fell asleep, possibly the effect of the drug. Leo sat on Papa's right.

"What did the doctor say Ma?" Leo asked Mama.

"Father had a heart attack, to get to the hospital quickly, so still saved. It has been handled, thank God your Papa has gradually stabilized" explained Mama while hugging Rio on the guest sofa.

I keep looking at Papa, I never see Papa like this. My whole life just this time Papa was admitted to the Hospital, which is what makes me panic and worry. Papa and Mama from the first always apply a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise. Every month they check into the hospital. But maybe the age factor makes Papa's body condition weak and unstable.

"Mama and Bude Sri rest at home, let Leo be the same Ayu who takes care of Lapa" said Mas Leo.

"It's okay Mama's here" Mama doesn't want to leave Papa.

"Later Mama here again, Mama rest first at home, Rio also follow the same Eyang yes "pinta Mas Leo to Mama and Rio.

My mother obeyed the orders of Leo. They went home to Pakde Johan.

Papa is awake, but it is forbidden to move much. Papa has to rest a lot. Papa was a little surprised to see me and Mas Leo looking after him.

"Where's Mama?" ask Papa to be limped.

"Mama came home with Bude Sri and Rio, later here again anyway" I replied

"Where's leo?" ask Papa again.

"Mas Leo came out to buy Papa's medicine in the pharmacy" I replied as I stroked Papa's wrinkled hands.

"You guys have been a long time?" Papa didn't stop asking.

"We got here" I replied.

Papa smiled at my answer, and I smiled.

After three days of treatment, Papa is getting better. Every time Papa asks to go home, he says bored in the hospital, too many rules. We laughed at Papa's nagging.

"Said Doctor Papa today can go home" said Mas Leo who just came from the Doctor's room.

"Jaudah let's go home" Papa was so excited.

"Papa here first, Leo take care of all his administration, there will be a Doctor and a nurse who will check on Papa before going home. Honey, are you doing the things you want to take home?" mas Leo's orders. And Mas Leo passed over taking care of all his administration.

"Leo thank you" Papa said as we were in the car, heading home.

"Thank you for what Pa? this is nothing compared to the trust that Papa gives to Leo" Mas Leo replied.

I just smiled looking at Papa and Mas Leo who were so very familiar.

"Papa did not choose the wrong son-in-law" said Papa who made us all laugh.

The second day of Papa's return from the hospital. Papa looks even better, let alone seeing Rio, Papa is getting excited.

"Darling.." call Mas Leo when I'm watering Mama's plants. Mas Leo's face was panicked.

"Why Mas?" I answered while turning off the water tap.

"Mas has to go to Yogya now, Mama is sick" said Mas Leo worried.

"I'm coming, huh Mas?" timpal.

"You're here just take care of Papa, I'll go home alone, you'll catch up?" her door. I nodded in agreement, I also still have to take Papa to the Doctor tomorrow, there is no way I can just leave it.

Mas Leo has already said goodbye to Mama Lapa and Rio. I'm the one who drove Mas Leo to the station.

"Be careful on the road?"

"Dear, pray Mama get better quickly, let me pick you up sooner" replied Mas Leo.

I nodded, after kissing my forehead Mas Leo went to Yogya by train.

"Ma Pa, Ayu wants to follow Mas Leo to Yogya, Ayu does not feel good with Mas Leo's mother" I said that morning.

"It's okay, Papa equally Mama can't deny you, Leo's mother also means your Mother" replied Papa firmly.

"But Rio does not want to come with Ma, Rio wants to be here" Rio pinta.

"Judek.. But Rio don't be naughty, Kasian Eyang is still sick, don't make Eyeang worry" I advised Rio.

"Oke Ma.siap" Rio replied in spirit.

On Pakde Johan's way, I'm heading to the station. I also knew Mas Leo, that I was going to Yogya this afternoon. Just carrying a small bag containing several pieces of clothing, I also left for Yogya.

I saw Mas Leo waving his hand as I got off the train. I walked towards the standing Mas Leo holding a bottle of mineral water.

"Capek ya.." asked Mas Leo and thrust the mineral water at me.

"Not so, Mas." I answered and sipped mineral water.

Me and mlMas Leo walked towards the parking lot.

"We got on the bike" he said and put a helmet on my head.

"As a reminder of the courtship period" he said again.

I smiled, and sat behind Mas Leo, on his bike when I was in college.

"In this state you still want to be nostalgic" I said.

"It's okay, after all I'm better" he replied casually.

"Darling what if we ate gudeg first your favorite?" bargained for.

"No need Mas, we go directly to the hospital just see Mom, later we go there sometime" I asked.

"Who is my dear" replied Leo.

This is where I am now, in the room where Mom is being cared for. When I saw her, she turned her back, behind me. I already knew it would be like this, but it's okay, which is important now that I've seen Mom's situation.

"Darling you're waiting here, is it Karina? I bought you food" said Mas Leo, who without my consent immediately left me and Karina in Mom's room.

"What did the doctor say?" I asked Karina.

"Mother was just exhausted and had a lot of thoughts, so her stomach acid went up" Karina replied.

"Actually I've been able to go home Ma'am, but Mas Leo asked the same Doctor so that Mother can be treated again, the end of the mother ngeyel Mbak "Karina whispered to me.

I just laughed at Karina's story.

After Karina and I finished eating what Mas Leo bought. Leo invited me to go home and rest at home. Maybe Mas Leo felt bad for me, because from now on Mom did not respond to me at all.

Today I am allowed to go home. I cleaned the house, especially Mom's room. And I've also cooked for this lunch, don't forget Mom's favorite oxtail soup I finished cooking 30 minutes ago.

I was watching TV while waiting for Mom to come back from the hospital. May your mood be better for me today.

I welcome Mom to the front yard. I opened the car door to help Mom get out of the car, but Mom refused and brushed my hand away. It's okay for me, I switched to helping Mas Leo carry Mom's clothes while in the hospital.

"Mom want lunch, huh,? Ayu had masakin soup mother's favorite tail "gagku when Mom sat on her bedroom bed.

I didn't answer, I just kept quiet, I didn't even see me.

"Well I want to dong Mbak, Mbak Ayu's cooking must be delicious" Karina tried to melt the atmosphere. I just smiled stiffly, my feelings were really bad.

"Mother I take a shower, we'll have lunch together, okay?" karina said as we walked out of Mom's room.

"Yaudah I want to take a shower too" Leo smiled at me.

Lunch is on the table. I sat down on the dining table chair while waiting for Karina and Mas Leo to finish taking a shower. I sat with my hands propping up my chin, my mind drifting to see Mom's treatment of me. And I'm thinking more about the woman who came to see you yesterday afternoon. The woman who drove Mom home when she was in Jakarta three months ago. The woman I knew from Karina named Laras, who looked very familiar to Mom, I could laugh and talk about things with her that I never did. Mother's treatment of the woman was inversely proportional to Mother's treatment of me. From the beginning of my introduction to Mother until this moment, mother never thought I existed, even whatever I did was always wrong in the eyes of mother. It's back that Mom told me during my ruckus with Mom a few months ago that Mom would never like me. I don't know what mistake I made that made you hate me.

" Dear to daydream?" Leo surprised me.

"No Mas, just a whim with Rio in Semarang" I lied.

"Jaudah will end lunch, we video call Rio" said Mas Leo, and handed me the empty plate. I smiled and filled Mas Leo's plate with rice.

After lunch, I cleaned the dinner table and Karina washed the dishes. We were silent and dissolved in our respective work, while Mas Leo seduced Mom to have lunch with my cooking.

Mas Leo shook his head with the still intact rice out of Mom's room.

"Mother asked to buy porridge at the market" said Mas Leo.

"Damn... Mother is-there, the hospital does not even want to be given porridge" said Karina upset.

"Jaudah Mas buy porridge for Mom, I'll be hungry" I asked Mas Leo.

Just now Mass Leo was going to go to the market to buy Mother's porridge, there was a man delivering Rantang with food.

"Is this really Mr Leo's house?" asked the man carrying the bushel to me and Mas Leo who stood on the porch.

"It's my own right" replied Mas Leo.

"This is food for Mas Leo's mother" the man replied as he handed Mas Leo a bushel.

"Who are you from?" my many.

"It's from Ibu Larasati "the man replied, not long after the man was saying goodbye after giving a shipment from Larasati.

Mas Leo and Karina stared at each other as Mas Leo explained the matter to Karina. It's like they're hiding something.

"It's Na porridge, it's really like I want to eat porridge" I said pretending to be relaxed. Though my heart has a thousand questions, why is that woman so familiar to me? why did the woman know that you wanted porridge? What are you and your lady planning? And what are Mas Leo and Karina hiding from me?.

What makes me even more surprised is, at the bottom of the bushel contains oxtail soup. I regained control and tried to calm down. I copied the porridge and oxtail soup into the bowl, and asked Karina to deliver it to mom in the room.

"Soup tails made Laras emang yang yang Na, the porridge is also good" praised the mother from inside the room whose door opened a little.

"Padahat Mbak Ayu has made Mother soup tail you know bu" said Karina who was accompanying Mother to eat in her room.

"Feeling Ayu mah nothing Na, this is exactly like a mother-made kayak" said Mother again.

"The time is bu, even though the oxtail soup made by Mbak Ayu was already very good, according to Ayu, the late father was very fond" Karina praised my cooking.

"Udah is up to you, for Mother made Laras this fits on Mother's tongue, see Mother lives Sms aja, mother's order has been between the same Laras" the expression Mother made my heart hurt, Mother made my heart hurt, I cut my lips sobbing.

I went out of Mom's room door, and went around the village alone. From a distance I saw Mas Leo talking to the people around. I walked in the opposite direction from where Mas Leo was gathering. I want to be alone.
