Love Anton And Mela

The Seventy Nine

On Monday morning Haikal stopped his bike at the Puskesmas parking lot.

Doctor Anton's car was also there.

He entered the main door, not many people came but it was seen Anton doctor seemed to be talking seriously in the room of Mr. Tarmidi.

Anton reported the activities he had participated in yesterday to his superiors.

After reporting many other things discussed between Mr. Tarmidi and doctor Anton.

Haikal immediately headed to his practice room, because soon the patient-checking activities will begin.

"Doctor Haikal, I'm sorry that doctor Anton asked me to say that this morning all patients were treated first by Haikal's doctor".

"He is having a serious discussion with the Head of Puskemas" the officer conveyed the mandate of Dr. Anton.

"Okay ready" Haikal answered briefly.

Jaya was also called to Tarmidi's room, then the three discussed issues that were important for the continuity of Puskemas' progress.

"I am retiring early next year, and I have sent a letter to the Central Health Service regarding the application of Anton's doctor to replace my position here" Mr. Tarmidi told Anton and Jaya.

"The main problem is that the doctor must become a Civil Servant first, and he said he had registered to take the test together with Pak Jaya as well".

"I hope you two must graduate this year, because I've risked both of you're good names to the Center. Doctor Anton became the head of Puskemas and Pak Jaya became the Head of Finance and Administration at this Puskesmas".

Anton and Jaya glanced at each other, as they were both given a very severe challenge to progress in the Puskemas.

"Indeed the income of working at Puskesmas will be different from someone who has a career in private. But the meaning of community service is much more meaningful than high income but only for personal interests" Mr. Tarmidi told both.

"I believe later in the hands of doctors Anton and Pak Jaya as a young person, surely this Puskesmas will be more advanced. You will be more creativity and innovation for the development in this place".

"The test will be held at the end of this month for three days, please take advantage of the time available to increase learning and find materials for testing later" said Mr. Tarmidi again encouraging them both.

"I believe and believe you two are able to pass and achieve the best title".

After that Mr. Tarmidi gave again encouragement for both, and he really left great hopes for both of them.

Out of Mr. Tarmidi's room the two looked at each other, and Jaya said, "Bro, it means it's third year for me to take the exam. All this time I had every exam just carelessly. But this year it feels like another, I got the passion to graduate".

"It was my first year to take this exam, but I had to pass. We sure can bro" Anton said as he stuck his fist together to encourage each other.

While heading to his practice room, Anton signs the officer that he is ready to receive patients.

As usual Monday the number of patients is always more than any other day, somehow it can be so.

Maybe people postpone getting sick or something, but not Puskemas or Hospital alone but almost all lines of business.

Both Banking, Cooperatives, Workshops and so on, it seems that every Monday always booms the number of visitors.

Mela at home felt tired after yesterday walking the streets with her husband.

Usually he is a strong person even though his body is small as well, but since yesterday came home from Yogyakarta felt very weak.

"Mom Darwis, sorry if there are people around here that I can ask for help to clean the house and wash the iron for a week. I've been feeling bad since yesterday" Mela looked up information to her neighbors when she met on the front page of the house.

"Yes there's Mrs Anton, I'll call my house assistant at home, yeah," and then Ms. Darwis called the clerk at her house.

Before long came a quite stocky woman, and Mela also knew the woman was called Mbak Asih who worked washing and ironing at the house of Bu Darwis.

"Sih you have a friend who can't work like you for Miss Anton?"ask Bu Darwis to him.

"Yes there are a lot of people back home like me like this who are interested in working in housing. Make when, later Asih call ," said Asih with spirit.

"But not staying, because our house is behind the housing. So we went home in the afternoon after finishing work at the house of Ms. Anton," continued Asih even though Mela had not had time to talk anything.

"The idea is immediately Mbak Asih, because I catch this wind. Though a lot of laundry, even though using a washing machine but I really feel unable to do it," said Mela looks limp not passionate different from usual.

"Bu Darwis, sorry well Asih to the village for a while want to bring a friend, pity Ms. Anton drowning so," Asih please permission to his employer.

"Yes been there for a while, pity that Miss Anton looks pale," Ms. Darwis allowed and Asih immediately went to the back village of the housing.

After saying thank you, then Mela went into the house again and immediately threw herself into the guest chair.

Wanting to contact her husband said she was sick, but she hesitated to disturb his busy life.

So he sat quietly while snacking on the pastry he bought from Yogyakarta.

Before long there was a sound of people blabbering in the streets, it seemed Asih came while carrying his friend.

"Well you're the right job, don't embarrass Ma'am Asih. Next to my master, well you are in this house," Asih said as he was heard opening the gate.

"Assalamualaikum, Mrs Anton.. excuse me...!!!"asih shouted that his voice did not seem to be slow.

"Walaikumsalam, yes just enter Mbak Asih," said Mela from the inside.

Then Asih entered through the garage door, then entered into the living room.

"Mom this is Eti, my neighbor but still counted my cousins. He wants to work here, the same as me coming home in the afternoon," Asih explained to Mela.

"Yes, Eti, thank you for helping me. How about the honorific ?"ask Mela to both.

"Just like Asih ma'am, every Saturday is a Sunday holiday. So if Asih in Bu Darwis every Saturday is given his honor bu," Asih explained to Mela.

While Eti from earlier just silently nodded her head.

"Mbak Eti just keep quiet, do you agree with what Mbak Asih said?"ask Mela to him.

"Agree.eh...Yes Allah..agree bae yah..eh... yes... uh...bae..," apparently Eti was talkative so from then on he was silent it was refraining to talk.

Because Eti if you talk it must be repeated because he is talkative.

Mela laughs at that, and she thinks this Eti must be Aprilia's prank meal later.

Then Mela gave a little honor for Mbak Asih because it helped him find people who want to work at his home.

"Mbak Eti, sorry well I am troublesome, I ask for help Mbak help me here," said Mela when Asih had returned to Mother Darwis' house.

"Yes Ma...eh.iya Bu..it's okay, even Eti is happy to help mom.eh yes..help here," replied Eti who sounded funny in Mela's ear.

"Can you use a washing machine?"ask Mela again.

"Can ma'am.eh yes...Insyaallah can.. kan used to also work in this house.eh yes..then there was still an employer here ma'am..iya.dulu," replied Eti again.

Mela explained that her temporary task is to wash the iron and also clean the house.

Whereas if cooking must be Mela, because Anton does not want if not his wife who cooks.

Eti while cleaning the house while telling me that once he had worked in this house that Mela lived in.

The house was once occupied by Haikal and his parents.

Then his mother Haikal bought land in front and built a two-story house to serve as an office.

When it became an office, even his father Haikal cheating with his secretary. Haikal's mother felt sad and looked for an outpouring of heart.

And either way wrong or not, his mother poured all her sadness into a friend's man when she was in college in Australia.

Finally husband and wife fuss and divorced, Haikal's father remarried with the secretary and went outside the island.

His mother Haikal also remarried his Australian friend.

While listening to Mbak Eti tell a story, Mela snacked on sweet cakes she bought from Yogyakarta yesterday and did not feel depleted one jar.

Anton is told by Mela via chat that now someone is working daily to help her at home because she feels tired.

Of course Anton agreed instead to support his wife's wishes.

At first he only wanted a week to be helped by Eti, but because Mela felt his condition was unclear, then he asked Eti to continue working at their home.

Anton is also busy constantly, every day coming home from work immediately busy with his laptop reading and looking for exam materials.

So that he did not notice his wife who started to show a strange attitude.

Rarely eat rice but every day can snack on sweet cakes to a lot.

Mela also lately cooking potluck because after cooking is always dizzy and nauseous.

Fortunately Anton is not much fussy, as long as the cuisine of his wife must have eaten although maybe not as much as the usual cuisine menu.

It had been two weeks so, and Mela also did not dare to talk anything to her husband for fear of disturbing the thoughts of her husband who was concentrating on taking the exam later.

And the most unpleasant was Haikal, who had been not spoken to by Anton for two weeks.

If you meet face too Anton coldly did not say hello to himself.

During this time Aprilia and Haikal meet secretly, the innocent girl Aprilia tells him everything Mela said to her.

Haikal becomes unwell, he promises to look after Aprilia and won't touch her while she's not married.

Aprilia is happy that there is Eti at home who can meet her every morning, before leaving for work there is a new job that is to judge Eti.

"Neng Apri.eh yes Neng Apri... dating Den Haikal yah.. ngaku hayo..eh ngaku," mother Eti said one morning when Aprilia was dressing up to go to work.

"Eh...reseh..kok Mbak Eti tempeh anyway...?"ask Aprilia.

"Tempe..kok tempe..eh time... tempe.... should know dong.eh yes..know dong Neng," said Mbak Eti astonished to hear the word tempe.

"Tempe knows what C'mon are made of?"ask Aprilia again.

"Soybean.eh yes..kedelai..emang why the hell Neng...Eti became confused.." Eti looked confused and made Aprilia even more happy to tease him.

"If you are confused just hold the wall, Ms. Eti...".

"Wall ..eh yes wall.ah Neng Apri.answerih ben courtship Den Haikal...had not been answered loh".

"Kepo ah's...".

"Kepo..eh.iya..kepo...what is kepo neng...".

Aprilia did not reply and immediately exited the room while giggling.

Eti's work is neat and clean, she is also good at ironing clothes, only all Anton's clothes must be Mela who works.

Anton is the type of husband who all must be a wife who does, even if you ask to make warm tea is also not wanted by his cousin's sister, especially by Eti.

All things must be from the hands of his new wife he wants to eat or drink, even the iron of clothes he can also memorize.

Which one is ironed by his wife and which is not the result of his wife's hand.

Eti also did not even dare to hold Anton's clothes, speaking also rarely unless Mela asked for help to ask him something new he said to Anton while feeling afraid.

Even Mela often cooks in large quantities so that some can be brought home by Eti for her family at home.

Poor husband Eti is only a construction worker, when Haikal's parents separated, after Eti also issued and not working anymore.

Had tried to work to Arab, but was tricked by people who claimed the dealer was illegal.

Finally just trading mobile fried foods with no profit, now he got a job offer at home Mela of course he accepted with pleasure.

Moreover, Mela really treated herself like a brother, not like a maid in general.

Eti suspects that Mela is pregnant, but Mela doesn't believe her because she doesn't feel nauseous.

It was often limp but not nausea or vomiting, so Mela felt not pregnant but just catching a cold.

Anton had told to take drugs or vitamins, well that's what he did not do until now because the smell of drugs that even make him nauseous.

Maybe Anton is busy and his mind is focused on work, so his wife often complains of this and it's not too he takes a headache.

He thought it was just a common cold or his wife was tired of doing her home business and cosmetic merchandise.

One afternoon at the Puskesmas when all the patients were no longer there, Haikal tried to approach Anton's room to invite him to speak.

"Sore Bang, busy no Bang, I want to talk to Abang for a while" Haikal told Anton while hesitating in front of Anton's practice room.

Anton looked at Haikal, and he let him in.

But Anton was silent when Haikal was sitting in front of him, he was kept busy with his laptop.

"Hmmm...Bang sorry I want to talk," Haikal said looking very unkind to Anton.

"Speak, what do you want to say to me?"ask Anton indifferently.

"Hmmm.begini Bang, my problem and Apri...we.....".

"What..dating...kiss..hugs...sleep on the sofa..luckily you are my office friend, if I didn't beat you up yesterday," said Anton with an unfriendly face.

"Sorry Bang, but we are not doing anything further than that" Haikal said.

"Whatever the hell, I just give it back to you. If for example you have a sister, then you see her sleeping with the guy on the couch. Will be angry no ?"Anton expressed his frustration.

"Once again sorry Bang, I will respect Apri more. But I beg Bang Anton to give a chance to our relationship" Haikal said as he pleaded with Anton.

Anton sighed, then said, "Bro, I don't care

you guys want to date please as long as it is in accordance with ethics. Then the problem is Apri has been betrothed, then you want how".

Haikal kept quiet, then he looked at Anton, "I'm sure he chose me Bang, he doesn't love the guy ".

"I understand, only now there has been no decision on the part of their families. Whether breaking up or continuing, if you want to play recklessly it could be but it is very childish".

"Think again, don't love. Another case if Apri is empty and you are empty, problems like yesterday I have dragged you to the penghulu," said Anton looks very dizzy with their love affairs.

"Hahahaha..sister-in-law angry already brought just run away bro...hahahah," goda Jaya who suddenly entered.

Haikal smiled when he heard Jaya's comment, he did not dare to say anything.

"Until you dare to run, I chase you all to the pit of ants though. The problem is that Apri is my responsibility" Anton said as his finger pointed towards Haikal.

"Hahahaha..less small bro, there are even smaller ones.... bedbug holes..hahahah," Jaya even adds to the atmosphere.

Anton closed the laptop, put it in his bag and left without saying anything.

"Dear pray for me well, Monday will be an exam with doctor Anton. Help me pray well so that we can both do all the tests properly," Jaya told Miranti via her mobile phone.

"Of course I always wish you all the best, hopefully pass and get what you expect" said Miranti.

"Miranti, next Saturday my parents will come. They plan to stay in Bandung. I will be there later and I want to meet you with my parents" Jaya said in a very happy tone.

Hearing that Miranti was silent, Jaya called out to her several times but she kept quiet and did not answer.

Jaya is curious and turns her phone call into a video phone call.

Miranti pressed the answer button, and it appeared that she was crying.

"But weep, why weep?"tanya Jaya astonished.

"You really want to bring me to your parents?"asked Miranti while shedding tears.

"Yes I'm serious, then why are you crying?".

"I'm not a virgin anymore, I'm dirty, aren't you ashamed to introduce women like me to them?".

"Astagfirullah, I am not a good man of old. Didn't I tell you before".

"But I'm trying to change, and you're also trying to change. We both have to keep learning to be better human beings".

"For the sake of Allah I want to marry you Miranti, marry well be my legitimate wife in the eyes of God, in the eyes of Religion and also the state".

"I promise not to play my part, we'll have to fix your mother's life first. It's time you had to feel the right household for your mother's sake" Jaya at length tried to convince Miranti.

Of course Miranti added her tears, she never thought there would be a man who would marry her well.

During this time his heart was torn because his mother was betrayed by his father, when his mother was pregnant with him, his father left him and married another woman.

Her mother used to only marry siri without a letter that became a handle for her when demanding to her husband ask for just a fee for their child.

Now there is a man willing to accept himself and want to marry him, certainly makes himself so happy.

His hope of having a better life than his mother will soon be achieved, all he can do now is pray for his mother's almahumah so that her sin is forgiven and the door of heaven opened for her.

Saturday night, Mela was accompanying her husband with a laptop.

The two sat at the dinner table, because Anton needed a wider table.

"Pi, try not to stress dong if studying for the test, because if the stress will even be not concentrated later when doing the test," said Mela as her hand reached for the jar containing the cheese-flavored dried soes cake.

They had just eaten dinner, but Mela was hungry again and very tempted to eat the cake.

"I'm not learning, but I'm conceptualizing for Puskemas. I was asked by the service to make an action plan if I would be the leader there later," Anton explained to his wife.

Krauk...

Mela's mouth rang when chewing the dry soes cake earlier.

At first Anton did not ngeh, but long ago heard the sound of Mela's mouth so quite disturbed as well.

"What did we eat instead of just having dinner?"anton asked while frowning.

"Eat this Pi. This cake is delicious, do not know I still feel hungry so eat this cake," said Mela lightly.

"Already stopped, the nights of sweet eating can be dangerous, the threat of diabetes loh," usual husband fussy if his wife eat a lot.

Mela stopped eating the cake while her mouth was getting upset.

"Mending makes me warm lemon tea but don't use sugar yah" Anton asked his wife.

Mela then moved into the kitchen to make the drink for her husband, before long she came and kept a warm lemon tea near her husband.

Anton immediately sipped the warm lemon tea slowly and deliciously, then he turned to his wife who also made the same tea.

Anton saw the color differently, then he tasted a little bit and he was surprised.

"Mi tea got you given sugar how many kilos huh?"ask Anton while he glares.

"Why the hell, sweet people, I'm trying to drink a sweet loh," said Mela while telling her not to like.

"As far as you are, only occasionally. Don't be like this often" Anton warned his wife.

Mela was silent while pouting, her eyes glanced again at the jar and for some reason she really could not hold her saliva when she saw the contents of the jar.

He quietly grabbed the jar and walked into the living room carrying the tea and jar.

Anton is struggling on a laptop making a concept so as not to pay attention to what his wife brings when moving into the living room.

Mela silently opened the jar and tried to chew making no sound.

"Assalamualaikum,"heard someone's voice in front of the house.

Mela peeked out from behind the curtain, Haikal said.

"Walaikumsalam, let's go inside" said Mela as she heard her mouth full of food.

Soon he realized and closed his mouth afraid Anton heard it, but fortunately Anton was concentrating so he did not bother with the atmosphere around.

Haikal was waiting in front of the terrace, and he asked Mela, "Mr Mela, sorry is Apri there?".

"Who's in his room, would you like to come in here in the living room or wait on the terrace?"ask Mela.

"I waited on the terrace only" Haikal replied courteously.

Mela then calls Aprilia saying there is a Haikal in front, then Aprilia immediately meets her lover.

"We're on the porch alone Apri, it's not nice inside that Anton's doctor seems to be busy" Haikal said as Aprilia met him.

Then the two of them chatted in front of the porch of the house, Mela peeked at the two while enjoying her soes cake and drinking her warm lemon tea.

No taste of dry soes cake runs out of one jar, as well as warm lemon tea. Mela fell asleep and fell asleep in the guest chair.

"Mii...Mi...where's Mi?"call Anton to find his wife.

Seen into the kitchen there was nothing, in the television room there was nothing, peeking into the room was also not there.

Then he looked into the living room and saw his wife sleeping soundly, while at the guest table there was an empty jar and also an empty glass.

Anton shook his head, then he woke up his wife and told her to brush his teeth first even though sleepy.

Then Anton stared at the terrace, seen Aprilia and Haikal still chatting while holding hands.

He glanced at the wall clock then said to Aprilia," Um....Open... !!!

half an hour at ten in the evening, tell Haikal not to stay here for a long time".

Apri and Haikal immediately took off their hands, both glanced at each other and looked behind them.

Anton looked at the two of them with a sharp look, then both of them nodded their heads with a smile.

Anton turned his back and headed to his room.

After Anton enters the room, Haikal and Aprilia giggle together, but no one dares to comment about Anton.
