Labuhan Cinta The Playboy

Navisha: Moving House

"Please move this stuff over there!" Galang's orders to some of his men.

"Good, Sir!"

"Some time they'll be there." He muttered while glancing at the watch in his hand.

"Have everything been tidy as soon as they got there."

"Ready, sir."

Before long a black SUV car entered the courtyard of the house. Rushed to the front of the house.

A middle-aged woman got out of the car, followed by a young woman behind her.

"Mother!" Sapa Galang on a middle-aged woman named Karina.

"Son'troof! You're here apparently."

Galang kissed Karina's back hand.

"Mas must be tired of taking care of moving house for us." The young lady joined the conversation.

"Absolutely not. Looks like you're the one who's looking tired. How's flight? You're not afraid to get on a plane, are you?"

"Wong is only Semarang-Jakarta, why is iyo wedi? Tho, Nduk?" (Semarang-Jakarta only, are you afraid? Aren't you, son? *Nduk\=call for girls in Javanese)

"Yes, Mas. I'm fine."

"Then, Mom please come in. Maybe to rest. Where's ali?" Galang asked looking for Ali who was none other than the son of Navisha.

"So in Rara's car, she slept on the plane."

"It looks like he's comfortable on the plane. Yes already, I entered first yes, Son Galang. Weleh, umahe slick tenan iki." (The house is great.)

"Excite, Mom." (Yes, mom)

The young lady smiled at Galang.

"You're learning Javanese?"

"Just be able to say 'nggih' is it, Nav."

The young woman named Navisha laughed at Galang's joke.

"What do you think?" Galang.

"What, Mas?"

"About this house."

"good. The page is also broad. Ali must be living here. Just like this is enough, Mom. You've helped me and Mom a lot. Thank you very much."

"Hey! Do you remember our promise back in Semarang? This is not free."

"Yes, Mas. I recall. Mom and I have to pay the rent every month."

"not rented. But squeak. So, when the installments are paid off, this house will be yours."

"Thank you, Mom."

"Don't thank me. Thank you if I give this house away for free. But, you don't want to."

"I just don't want to bother you. I must be tired all day helping us move. I made you some hot tea, Mas."

"Can. I'm having dinner here, all right? After that I just got home."

"Yes, Mum."

...🍁...

"Wash the dishes tomorrow, Nduk. It's night, you rest."

"It's okay, Mom. Just do the dishes, Mom."

"Vivisha ... Mom's sorry. Because of Mom, you have to go back to Jakarta."

DEG.

Navisha stopped doing the dishes.

"Mom knows, it must be hard for you to come back here. This place must be full of bad memories for you. You're forced to move here so that Nak Galang doesn't suspect about your past."

Navisha finished washing her dishes and approached Karina's mother.

"Mother .. don't talk like that. I'm so grateful to you for helping me and Ali. Mom took care of me like a child. So, don't apologize to me just because we have to move to Jakarta."

Karina's mother gently caressed Navisha's head. The deep love Navisha could see from inside the black bead of Mother Karina.

"Ali's asleep, Nduk?"

"Already, Mom. Looks like he's exhausted after playing with Mas Galang."

"...................."

"I'm sorry, if you're talking like this. But, it was time for Ali to have a father figure. You and Nak Galang have also been together for two years. Aren't you thinking about marriage? So single parents are hard, Nduk."

"I ... and Mas Galang .. haven't thought of getting there, Mom. Mas Galang is also busy with his work."

"Don't until you're apart, Nduk. It would be very difficult to meet a good man like Nak Galang."

"Yes, Mom. Hopefully our relationship will last. I better get in the room. Tomorrow we have to prepare for catering."

"Yes, you too, Nduk. You should rest too."

...🍁...

"YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

"Visha!!! What's going on, Nduk? You're having nightmares again, aren't you?"

"Hosh-hosh-hosh." Navisha set her breath.

"Mom get me a drink first!"

Navisha wiped the sweat off her temple.

The nightmare again!! For the umpteenth time.

"This, Nduk! Drink first!"

"Thank you, Mom."

"Sir, if I may suggest. You better go to the doctor. Talk about your nightmare. It's been five years that you've been screaming in your sleep. I'm worried, Nduk."

"Mother .. I'm fine. It's just a regular nightmare. Don't worry mom! Sorry for waking my mother up."

"Mom will accompany you to sleep."

"Yes, Mom."

It's been five years since I gave birth to Ali. And ever since then, I've always been haunted by an unfinished nightmare. What keeps me having nightmares? I have not got the answer myself...

...🍁...

"Good morning, Miss Navisha. I'm Ari, Mr. Galang's man."

"Oh, yes, my. What's up?"

"I was asked to accompany Ms. Navisha and Ms. Karina to go shopping at the market. Because Ms. Navisha and Ms. Karina are new in Jakarta. So it hasn't been ragged Jakarta's streets."

"Oh, so. How, Mom? Who goes to the market me or Mom? Ask Edo to come, too, ma'am. So that he memorizes the streets of Jakarta."

"Mother goes to market. You stay home with Ali and Rara."

Shortly after, a medium-sized container truck entered the yard.

"And one more Miss Navisha. This is a delivery from Mr. Galang. He said for catering."

"Oh, so." Navisha scratched her nape in confusion. He felt that his debt to Galang was getting more and more.

"Yes, I'll get ready first. Ari boy, please wait in the living room."

"Yes, Mom. Thank you." Thank you."

While looking through a container truck labeled 'Karina Catering' on two sides of the car, Navisha's phone rang. Call from Galang. And soon Navisha's up.

"Hello, Nav. Hows it? Has the ship arrived?"

"Mas, why are you sending container trucks too? What's for?"

"Nav, listen to my explanation. The car was to send catering orders. You think you're gonna bring all the rice catering boxes on a motorcycle? Did you not tell you how many employees I have? There are hundreds of my employees, Nav. Are you sure you can carry hundreds of rice boxes on a motorcycle?"

"Heh? But, Mas ... "

"Already! There is no but! Take it easy, I'm not giving you for free. You have to pay for it too. Or should I give you for free?"

"No! Nah! I can't take it for free!"

"Yes already. Then you have to accept. Think of it as an operational catering car. Understood?"

"My debt to you is increasing."

Navisha's face turned gloomy.

"Haha. Don't get frustrated because you owe a lot. I'm sure you can make it. Yes it was before! I have a morning meeting with the editor. See you, Navisha!"

"Yes, Mum."
