Love Anton And Mela

Seventy One

It had been a few days that Mela felt safe and at ease there was no interference from Triana.

He often went out of the house from the morning so rarely bought vegetables at the usual traveling merchants to the housing.

Lately he often went either to see Atikah or also his college friends and even his school friends first.

Mela is determined to develop the beauty cream business.

He also began to come to the Bank and register E-Banking on his mobile phone to facilitate transactions.

He began to order a considerable amount to Anita, because now the interest began a lot and from each buyer Mela give a 5% discount when referring the product to others.

Today there happened to be no appointment, so that morning Mela as usual with a cheerful bright face came to the vegetable merchant to buy groceries.

"Mrs Anton, sorry well yesterday, Ms. Triana was here boasting that Anton's mother was an actor. She said Anton's mother took Mr. Anton away from her ten years ago" one of the mothers complained about what she had heard from Triana.

Mela smiled and said, "Mother, I now want to be twenty-seven years old. That means ten years ago I was in school at seventeen".

"I'm High School in Cirebon, my husband and Ms. Triana were already in college at that time in Bandung. How do I get yah".

"If I used to seize maybe now we already have a child who has grown up dong".

"While now who has a grown child who is well..," said Mela calmly while choosing vegetables.

"Wah means Triana's mother is stressed, Anton's mother and Mr. Anton's mother just married a few months ago anyway," said Ms. Darwis who just came.

Mela smiled at Ms. Darwis while thanking her defense.

"It looks like Triana's mother was disturbed by her psyche, she was often angry, not because" said another mother chimed in.

"Well, if I personally understand mom, have let it go, my rumored people also relax," said Mela while continuing to smile.

"Well, Mr. Anton must have chosen Anton's mother, her smile so sweet. I also like it," Mas Joko followed the roar and automatically all the mothers protested for his words.

"Huuuhhh.basis follow-up only..indeed Joko mas handsome...basasal flirty...!!!".

"Wrong again.wrong again..," said Mas Joko while patting her forehead for running out at the protest of the shopping mothers.

After finishing cooking and cleaning the house, from the front door there was someone knocking while calling his name.

"Tante Mela's...Aunt Mela... is it home?!!!" shouted the little children in his yard.

Mela peeked, it turns out there are two children Triana in front of the door of her house.

Mela opened the door and gave them food.

The two children were looking for him because they were hungry and thirsty.

While her tears from inside the house While ordering Food online, and paying digitally.

Ask to be sent two packages of rice and fried chicken that already have a drink.

He advised the Food Online officer not to mention who the actual sender of the food, just mention from Mamih Triana.

Both Triana's children Hiro and Hera sit on the porch of Mela's house.

Both are waiting for the arrival of Mela, thought Mela was leaving for a while.

What makes Mela even more tired is that the two children pick up leaf litter in their yard and throw it in the trash can.

But Mela can't go out to see both of them, because Mela also has to teach her mother a lesson.

Before long came a man on a motorcycle carrying two boxes of rice packets, and stopped his motorbike in front of Mela's house.

"Hey kids, are there any named Hiro and Hera?"ask the guy.

Then Hiro timidly approached the man and replied, "Yes Oom, I am Hiro, what is Oom?".

"Oh, this is a food package from Mamih, let's grab it and eat right away. The trash will be dumped in the trash" the man said, giving him a plastic bag containing two packages of food.

"But the word Mamih should not accept food or anything carelessly from strangers," Hiro replied with a doubtful look.

"Son, this is what your Mamih said her name was Triana's mother, right?"the man explained to Hiro.

Hearing his mother's name called, then Hiro immediately took it while saying thank you.

Then she ran up to her sister, she took her sister to wash her hands from the plumbing in the park.

Then they sat side by side and said a prayer before eating, and they ate in the courtyard of Mela's house happily.

Though Mela had seen them from behind the window curtain, she cried bitterly at the sight of the two children.

After the meal the two were still sitting in the courtyard. Hiro's brother helped his sister clean her hands and dumped their leftover food waste into the trash.

It was so hot that the two little brothers felt sleepy.

The hot weather and the gentle breeze made the two children unable to open their eyes.

They slept on the porch of Mela's house while hugging.

At that time Mela just finished Dzuhur prayer, then she peeked again into the window.

With her tears unstoppable, she shivered while crying.

Mela felt she was also once poor, but not to fall like the two children.

Slowly Mela opened the garage door, and put one plastic pot of water, two empty glasses and two packets of biscuits.

His heart ached to see the two children sleeping on the porch of his house.

"If his mother is here, it feels like I'm bending her body, then putting it in a box, and I'm sending her to a country at war ," mela said while grumbling annoyed considering her mother the two children.

By late afternoon the two children woke up, then saw their drinks were drinking and put biscuits into his pocket.

Then after storing the glasses neatly, they ran home. Apparently they were afraid of having to meet Anton, probably because his face looked unfriendly when he first met.

Indeed, not long ago Anton returned home, when Mela just finished washing the second used glass of the child had been drinking.

Mela, as usual, greeted her husband, picked up her bag and brought him a glass of fresh water.

"A lot of patients today, Pi?" ask Mela while bringing home flip-flops for her husband.

Indeed just next to the heck, the next one is stored because it is useful, by Mela in pieces into several parts.

Some are used as flower pot holders in the yard, some are used as organizers of the dressing table in the room and to hold the dish rack in the dishwasher so as not to slip.

Indeed Mela creative wife, if at home can not be silent. There was always something he did and he was not tired.

Anton saw the pair of flip-flops he wore to be used many other functions instead became happy.

Because his wife made it useful for other interests.

Anton immediately took a bath because soon before Maghrib and as a devout Muslim, he never wanted to leave his prayers.

The time is rolling, the couple just finished dinner, and now Anton is reciting after the completion of Isya Prayer.

Mela is still cleaning the dining table and dirty dishes, while peeling mangoes for snacks while watching television later.

Just finished inserting a box containing pieces of mango into the refrigerator, from the front there was a noise.

Mela rushed to look ahead from behind the window curtain, seen Darwis Mother was blocking Triana who wanted to enter the courtyard of Mela's house while carrying her two children.

Triana looked panicked, she seemed to be frightened by something her cheeks were filled with tears, her face was restless and agitated.

"Mother Darwis, I beg ma'am, I would like to ask Mr. Anton and his wife for help. Please ma'am, I'm afraid my son was taken by his father," Triana cried while shouting at Darwis' mother.

"You must want to be evil again with Mother Anton, the person as good as she wants you to use again well," said Mother Dervish as her index finger pointed at Triana's face.

"Mom's Oath, it's not like that. Now I'm asking for help mom, my God. I'm asking for help".

Mela saw such a scene become unwell, she immediately opened the door of her house.

"Gosh what's going on, ma'am?"ask Mela while being surprised.

"This is Ms. Anton, she wants to make a riot again to Mother's house," said Ms. Darwis while looking very upset to Triana.

"Dik..dengarni Mbak, please dik.mbak for help. The children were taken by their father. I don't want to dik" Triana said as her hands pleaded and she sobbed.

Mela was wrong, not invited in then became a crowd in front of her house. But invited in, surely her husband will be angry with her again.

But how about it, then he took Triana and her two children in.

Darwis' mother did not stay silent, she was very caring and soon she ran to call Father and Mother RT.

Seeing the crowd, Mother Luke who was across the house immediately followed into the house of Mela, followed by Madang's mother, the left neighbor of Mela's house, who yesterday gave tips on making out with her husband.

Before long Ibu Darwis came with Mr. RT and his wife, he was also furious when he saw Triana's attitude.

Triana entered the house, her two children were taken by Mela into the family room to watch television.

Mela came out again with a drink and asked Triana to drink immediately because she was crying.

"Bak drinks first, don't cry anymore. Better tell me what's the problem ?" Mela said in a cold tone.

Before long Mr. RT and his wife and mother Darwis entered the house Mela as well.

Anton just finished praying and dhikr, heard in front of his bedroom like many people then he immediately came out.

Because Anton is who he is and wants to relax at home, then he went out of the room not wearing his fake legs so only use a stick.

He went to the living room, and there was gathered by RT and his wife, Mela, Mother Dervish, Mother Luke and Mother Dadang as well as Triana.

All surprised to see Anton's condition, it turns out Triana does not know that Anton is now disabled.

But Anton and Mela just calm down, then Anton saw in the yard there is a pack Dadang, Mr. Luke and Mr. Darwis.

The three men want to follow their respective wives, and Anton said goodbye to RT sir will be in front with the other three fathers.

Because in this case his wife and he believes his wife can certainly handle.

Then Anton went to the front of the house, and chatted with his three neighbors.

"Sir, since when did Anton become like that?"triana asked in astonishment.

"For a long time, Ma'am, when he wanted a thesis he said he came home from Semarang on a motorcycle and then an accident," Mela explained flatly.

Degs...Triana was stunned and stunned, she felt that Anton must have been disabled because of the betrayal he had committed.

"Sir, now there are RT sir and RT Mother, there are also other mothers. I'm sorry if I came here again. I need an explanation?" ask Mela firmly.

"Yes right this Miss Triana what happened, I often heard but have not had time to prove. Incidentally now there is a right opportunity, so please answer the question of Mrs Anton," said Mr. RT wisely.

Triana looked at everyone present, then she started telling stories.

That afternoon he went to the house of Hendra Nata, the man who married him in series.

Apparently when he got there his man was not there, he only met his third wife who is his legal wife now.

Triana wants to ask for money for the cost of her children and also for the cost of paying for the rent of the house.

There was a fight between women, they pushed each other and pulled clothes.

Until finally his wife Nata's shirt was torn badly because it was pulled Triana, then the woman ran into the house and was chased by Triana.

While inside Nata's house, he noticed that his wife's wallet was on the table, and he picked it up and opened it.

It turned out that there was a lot of paper money in it, then he took it all while throwing his wallet and immediately ran away from the house.

His wife did not accept Triana's actions, so she complained to Nata her husband.

Hearing the words of his wife, Nata became angry and he called Triana threatening to bring his two children and will never be reunited with Triana.

Of course Triana was scared, and now she wants to hide her two children in Mela's house.

"Mother Triana, actually, is your mother and husband divorced?" ask RT's wife.

"How's Mom, we used to get married in series but there is no evidence whatsoever, so if it is called divorce also well separated. I was fooled when I got married" she said, crying again.

Everything in the room looked at each other, it turned out that from the beginning also Triana's life was a mess.

Mr. RT who is also a legal scholar asked about the first time they married how, when and where.

Triana could not answer, everything that used to govern was her husband Nata.

It means that Triana has also been deceived by her own husband since the beginning of their marriage.

"Then why don't you just go back to Mbak's hometown ?"ask Mela to Triana.

"I haven't been back to my parents for nearly ten years, so I don't know if they're going to accept me and the kids anymore" Triana said, tearfully.

"But Miss Triana, however, parents will certainly not refuse, especially if they have seen the grandchild will certainly be satisfied with her heart" said Madang and others also agree.

"It's that rather than you here making other people's problems, Anton's mother is now your target. It's as if you're the same as him" Mother Darwis once said.

Everyone looked at each other at Darwis' mother's spark, but it was true what she said.

"Triana Bu, it is better for the mother to return to the place where the mother came from, if not wrong Semarang city well," said the wife of Mr. RT again advised.

"True Ma'am, pity the children, the school is a mess, every day abandoned by hunger. I don't have the heart, they still have hope. Who knows in Semarang there is a solution for the life of Mbak," said Mela also while remembering how children suffer.

Triana lowered her head, she was thinking exactly what all the neighbors were saying.

Moreover, the last thing Mela said, was very penetrating to her heart.

After a moment of silence, he said to RT sir while opening his wallet.

"Sir RT, this is the rest of the money that was there, that I took from Nata's wife I had paid to the owner of the house I rented," triana said while showing the remaining money only a few thousand rupiah.

"How do I get back to Semarang. To eat tomorrow I don't know" Triana said with a face.

"Where have you been all this time, all day leaving the kids back by night, what work?"ask Luke's mother who had just been quiet listening.

"Honestly well, I go every day to the market, pickpocketing, stealing. Sometimes looking for a store that does not have CCTV, and I steal and then I sell to the container" Triana replied as she looked at everyone in front of her.

Everyone looked at each other and could say nothing more.

For a moment everything was silent, then suddenly Mother Dervish said while taking out two pieces of money hundreds of thousands from her pocket.

"I donate two hundred thousand rupiahs, as long as it is true tomorrow you go home to your parents' house in Semarang".

Luke's mother and Dadang's mother looked at each other, then Madam Dadang came to her house for a while as well as Luke's mother.

Soon they return and give the same amount of money.

Now there were six hundred thousand rupiahs on the table, Mela was silent for a moment and went into the room and before long she came out and delivered four pieces of money.

Even already one million rupiah, more value to take a bus to the city of Semarang.

The money was taken by RT's wife, and she said '"My money is saved, tomorrow my husband and I will take them to the bus terminal".

Mr. RT also said, "Right, tomorrow we will deliver to the bus terminal, buy tickets and make sure they leave for Semarang".

"Mom Triana don't think we're all evil, instead we want to expel you. But think about it again, children still need cost and attention".

"At least if at your parents' house, even though you work here and there but your son has your family to take care of," Madam Dadang also opened her mind Triana.

Triana was silent then while shedding her tears she nodded her head.

Finally he agreed to return to the city of Semarang, to the place of his parents.

When all dispersed from the house, on the front page appeared four fathers were telling each other.

The four of them from earlier had no one to discuss anything related to the matter inside.

What they discussed about Anton's accident, about work or business respectively, about family, a little mention of the bed so that Anton can quickly impregnate.

Then turn to the economic and political issues lately, then about vehicles, about sports, hobbies and others.

"So fishing it's us once a month, let's join the boss, RT sir also fishing team," asked Dadang sir to Anton.

"Okay, where do you usually go fishing?"ask Anton curiously.

"It is usual to go to the river or to the sea, depending on the most votes only," said Mr. Darwis.

"Oh bro, at the end of the month we pull yuk. Usually go home fishing, we burn fish in the yard of Mr. Dadang's house," said Mr. Luke explained.

"It's my biggest house, two lots to one house. So the yard is wide, so it can burn fish" Mr. Dadang explained to Anton.

"Whoever I come, calm despite this look but I am not a hassle" Anton told the others.

"Look my man. don't know Mr. Gustiaji well.who's home in the west block. Well he's in a wheelchair, bro. Displaced by accident too. Later he will join the fishing team as well," Mr. Darwis explained to Anton.

"Just he's his son of three bro, you can still walk also can not goal. Let's go after the same lame defeat that was paralyzed".

Hahahahahha.the four of them laughed at the words of Mr. Darwis.

It turns out that the neighbors around the person are all relaxed, not arrogant each other even feels compact.

Then the group was seen coming out of the living room of Anton's house.

"Secure sir RT..hahaha..," welcome Mr. Luke to RT.

"Aman bro..quiet same RT Lukman is all safe..," it turns out the name of the pack RT is Lukman.

"Te.mancing us.end of the month...

add one participant..," said Mr. Darwis while pointing at Anton.

"Ah can not Mr. Anton.hayuk we leave, only I doubt the same Mr. Anton," seduced pack RT while glancing Anton.

"Can dong sir, fishing doang I often really," replied Anton while raising his eyebrows.

"Ah lied.that's the evidence has not distended his stomach.so can not yet.hahahahah," said RT again with a laugh and pointed at Mela.

It turns out that Mela is not pregnant yet, so they tease Anton.

"Take it easy.later I ask Mr. Gustiaji.want to know the recipe," replied Anton not to lose as well.

They laughed in unison, confirming that Anton had to study with Mr. Gustiaji.

"Later every Friday night and night of the week, gather dong at the security post near the portal. Almost all the houses gather there ," invite RT sir to Anton.

"Each boss, do it later I docked," said Anton again.

The wives disperse and approach their husbands, then Triana takes her two children out while passing Anton.

"Anton, I'm sorry. I've been wrong to you a lot. Thank you for your wife's kindness, it's not wrong that you choose a wife as good as her," Triana said, saying goodbye to Anton.

And Anton just nodded his head while his hand made a greeting sign but not taped to Triana.

Triana also realized, there is no way Anton can be the same as before. Besides having been disappointed in him, he now has a good and beautiful wife.

The next morning RT and his wife were seen picking up Triana and her two children.

They delivered to the bus terminal and bought tickets for the majors to Semarang.

"Mom, here's the ticket for three people and here's the rest of the money, I add a little more for the kids to eat on the street. Sorry I did not have time to make food because I had to open a store immediately," said the wife of RT sir while giving tickets and money to Triana.

"I thank RT sir and also Mom, you are all kind to me. Forgive me all this time I always make trouble" Triana said as she returned to tears.

"It's mom, the important thing is that you really have to go to Semarang. Poor children, and we hope there is a solution upon arrival at your parents' house" said Mr. RT's wife while embracing Triana.

Soon a call was heard for passengers who were going to leave for Semarang, they were saying goodbye and the three boarded a bus to Semarang.

Mr. RT and his wife immediately returned because they had to open a cloth shop at a kiosk near their home.

The journey takes about four hours.

At about twelve in the afternoon Triana and her two children arrived in the city of Semarang, they got off at the bus terminal.

Then Triana looked for city transportation that delivered to the road to her home.

He could not express his feelings, almost ten years he had left the city because of his stupidity.

Stand him in front of a road, his heart pounding as he strode toward a not-so-wide settlement road.

From a distance there is an old house with light brown paint, some of which still have wood elements.

Both parents are traders of dry food called abon, which is meat in a thin swirl and then cooked to dry. After that put in airtight plastic packaging.

It was a hereditary effort from the time of his great-grandfather a long time ago.

Triana's youngest child, her brother is already married as well and lives out of town.

At home there was only his father and mother, a pair of elderly people.

"Excuse me.assalamualaikum, Apak...It's...!!!"call Triana in front of the open door.

Both her parents were busy wrapping up the abon order, they were surprised to hear someone calling like that.

"WANA...!!!!"his mother shouted as her eyes widened.

"Maz....!!!"sahut Triana ran and rested at the feet of her mother.

His father also came out and was just as surprised, ten years without seeing him.

They're looking for Triana here and there and no one knows even if she's missing like she's swallowed the earth.

His father and mother hugged him, and they also hugged Triana's two children.

The three of them were crying each other for giving up longing because long time did not meet.

After everything calms down, Triana tells her why and where she's been missing all this time.

His parents no longer care what has happened, for sure their happy hearts of lost children have returned with two bonuses.
