Long River

For you

"Jo, what are you saying?"

"Sorry Dad."

Arya noticed Kenzo who looked confused. "I've repeatedly said you and your father have nothing to do but blood. He's a bad lawmaker against all his business associates and female vandals ...." Words ceased. There was a burst of emotion as he recalled the first time he had found that beautiful and innocent Mariko. (Hijab Love Humming Reina 2) A woman who fought desperately to live from childhood until she met Kenzo's father, Kenji Aratami. An old man in love with a very young girl. Mariko was then dating a Yakuza named Koshino Hiro, but with his cunning and power he got Mariko and kept her captive. Mariko managed to escape to Indonesia and live with her friend, but then she realized she was pregnant with Tama.

Arya feels guilty about the name of Kenzo's parents because after all they are still parents who gave birth and raised Kenzo. Surely Kenzo also loved him because Arya had caught him still keeping photos of his parents.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to insult your parents. I know you must love them. Sorry I spoke wrong." Arya stood up and rubbed Kenzo's head. The man just kept quiet.

"You must be completely different from your father. You have a heart. No woman would reject a man like you. What else can you play music and sing."

"really?"

"Mmh?" Arya saw a different look on Kenzo's face.

"There's a woman who made me rethink that."

"That?"

"Not married."

Arya raised her eyebrows and started sharpening her ears. He sat back. "You are ...."

"Can I admire his smile?"

Arya slowly leaned her back on the chair. "Mc ...."

"Fantasy about her?"

Arya folded her hands. "Then?"

"Mmh, what else do I have to do with her? I can't wait to think about it." Kenzo muttered to himself. His face was full of fun. Something he doesn't know how to express.

"Who?"

"But I promise you don't laugh at me? She's just a simple woman."

"It must be a special person for changing your mind."

Kenzo smile. "That's Well, Aska's maid. Leka."

As if struck by lightning Arya heard it. The leka? Just last night they met, how could ... so soon he ... Wait, where did he go? "You were with him?"

"Kok Daddy knows?"

"Because you don't usually have breakfast together. You looking?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Where?"

"On market. She's a maid."

"Eh, yes it is." That woman must be Aska's wife. I'm sure of that and Jo definitely doesn't know, because if he knew, he wouldn't have dared to go near Leka. Jo is very feeling, he will not dare and have the heart to take someone's wife, but .. if he wants I will try.

She seems like a good girl but I have to make sure that Leka is not the same as Aska. If indeed she had to follow her husband's scenario means she was deceived. I'm gonna get them divorced so Jo can marry Leka. Mmh ... Where should I start? "Take him to play at home."

"Dad not angry, I like a maid?"

"Oh, no. Helpers are human too. She was forced to become a maid because of desperate needs. Originally he had a restaurant, meaning he could be a businessman. Her face was also not like the face of a maid. Just make sure he likes you."

Kenzo fell silent.

"Hey, spirit."

"Yes, Dad."

Phone's ringing. She was surprised because she was cooking. Moreover, Runi was noisy from hearing that phone.

"Undaaa, Unda ...."

"Yes, yes."

The phone machine was near the dining table so he immediately turned off the stove and picked it up. "Hello."

"sorry ma'am, there's a package below. You want to take it down or we'll take it upstairs?"

"For me?"

"For Jaleka Rasmin's mother."

"Oh yeah, I."

"How's Ma?"

"Can I get it upstairs?"

"Later on, please open the door."

"Yes, yes." Who sent me the package? Aska Bang? How come he didn't say anything?

Shortly a bell rang. He approached and opened the door. Runi who followed Leka did it in silence.

"Mum's fruit basket." Said the dispatcher who came with the security guard from downstairs. He handed me a piece of paper to sign. After that, Leka got the package.

"Thank You Sir."

"Together."

After they left, Leka checked the fruit basket. There was a card tucked in there that he could instantly read his message. 'For Jaleka Rasmin. Spirit huh?' The curious Leka opened the clear plastic wrap that wrapped the fruit basket so that she could see the card, but after going back and forth there was no name of the sender. Strange, who sent it?

"Oh, are there apples? Mommy will cut it?"

Runi was on her tiptoes as her hands touched Leka's feet. He was impatient.

"Yes, just a minute." Leka took the basket to the dining table and took the knife and plate. He put Runi on a special table of toddlers and started cutting apples. The cut apple is put in a plastic plate in front of Runi so that Runi can take and eat it himself.

Leka was still confused by the shipment. People who know his real name are few. Husband and ... Candi, but does Candi know where she lives? He once said he lived near here, but did he really send this package? Leka was still confused by this discovery.

Zack kept looking at his watch. The clock is expensive but the model is typical of young people. The rope is colorful made of plastic and waterproof. He was very happy to wear it.

"From now on, look at the clock." Aiko commented. He was a little upset that he also gifted Zack with a watch on his birthday, but the young man preferred a Lydia-given watch.

"i like. Lydia's really good at finding good stuff."

"I'll also give you a watch, why don't you wear it?"

"Oh, it can't be used everyday. If this can." Zack sees Lydia out of her class. "Lithole!" Call her.

Zack approaching. Aiko stayed scowled because she always lost to Lydia.

--------------+++------------

After the Magrib prayer, Leka folded the prayer cloth and the alphabet. Suddenly Aska entered the room carrying a large package in hand.

"Oh, are you home Bang?"

"I brought something for you." Aska gave the big package to Leka.

"What is bang?" Leka.

"Songs and mukena. I haven't given this to you in our marriage. It's a dowry for the money I borrowed back then."

"Well, good." He saw a white mukena with a soft material. Also a soft and thick prayer mat.

"There's more." Aska's approaching. He showed me something he took out of his pants pocket. A necklace with a small yellow diamond stone pendulum. "You must be beautiful wearing this. I'm putting it on?" The man put the diamond necklace around his wife's neck and saw her again curling beautifully around the curve of her neck. "You're so pretty wearing this."

Leka blushed to hear her husband's praise.

"I'm serious about you, right? How about we eat out?"

"What about Runi?"

"We'll just take it."

"He's getting sleepy."

"It's okay."

Leka changed clothes and also changed clothes Runi. The little girl was a little fussy and then fell asleep.

"Bang, he's asleep. Better go tomorrow-tomorrow, pity he's asleep, later he fussy on the road even more difficult."

"It's okay, just trust me." Aska kept forcing. He wanted to prove and make Leka believe that he meant it.

With a heavy heart, Leka carried also Runi who had fallen asleep.

They came back to the same mall. Aska was holding Runi and was looking around for the restaurant she wanted to enter. He then found a slightly more expensive restaurant and got into it. Unexpectedly, Aska met someone she knew.

"Sister!"

"Aska?"

Monique and Salwa who were eating the restaurant, were surprised to see them coming there, especially Aska was holding Runi. Hurriedly Aska handed Runi over to Leka which caused Runi to wake up. Because the little girl was crying. Aska is confused as to what to do seeing Runi cry, but she does not try to calm down.

"Leka, please. Your son is noisy ...." The words Aska made really made Leka's eyes tick. The woman tried to silence her son with an annoyed face.

"Sister, don't be. Poor brother, little boy." Salwa Protest.

"Who, Sal?" Monique asked Salwa.

"Oh, Sis Aska's new maid."

This sentence further makes Leka inflamed.

"Aska, how are you? I have long not met. Eat together yuk, we also just happened to come. You want to eat, right?" Monique asked Aska.

Aska glanced at Leka. The plan was scrapped to see Leka so angry. He's getting confused.

"Your servant why was brought in anyway, his noisy son cried continuously. Please tell him to come out because it bothers other people who are eating here, too" Monique said lightly.

"Eh, yes, ma'am. Sorry." Leka smiled bitterly and brought her son who had begun to subside his cries out. He can still see Aska in Monique's friendly attraction to sit down with. How painful that sight is.

Leka walked back and forth beside the restaurant confused as to how while her son began to fall asleep. The tightness in his chest wanted him to spill but he had to be patient, because there was no place for him to spill his sense of regret back then. He had to bite the back of his hand so he wouldn't cry. Suddenly Salwa appears and comes to him. "Mak must not have eaten. It's got mangroves mbak, make a wedge." Salwa gave it to Leka.

"Thank you."

"Sorry, it might be a while."

"Yes, it's okay."

After Salwa's death, Leka ate the big mangrove with tears flowing. He can't hold it anymore. Embarrassed that someone was watching him cry, Leka walked back to the spot where Aska's car was parked, looking down. He is no longer able to withstand the feeling of tightness that is accumulating. He even hides crouching beside the car so that no one can see him crying alone. Without noise. Even without drinking. He patted his chest to lose his choking which began to hurt his throat.
