Love In Silence

Love In Silence
The Office



I was escorted home by Franda's mother and driver. When I got home there was only one ministry at home. I went straight into the room and took a break without changing clothes. I woke up to the sound of Ashar. After my ashar prayer just came down, in the living room I saw mama chatting with her guests.


"Mr? Who's mama's guest ?"


"Don't know, mbak just saw now a guest mom. Do you want to make something ?"


"Don't let Kia just drink water."


"Yes, come back, if you want anything, call me."


I just nodded before walking to pick up the fruit in the refrigerator.


"Yes my mom's son is awake." Said my mother who was sitting next to me.


"His guests are home?"


"Here, the guest nyariin Kia want to see the state of Kia."


"Who ?" I asked while linking my two eyebrows up. "Mama Raka."


"Huh ! The real ma, what do you want?"


"Ask your favorite condition, papa also told you what happened."


"I'm sorry Kia ya ma, now Kia dutiful with the decision of mama and papa." I said softly while looking down on my head. Mama did not answer but got up and hugged me.


"It's not Kia's fault, things are sometimes out of our control. Mama believes Kia has no intention of making a mess."


"Kia was just upset because of their mouths ma," I said in tears.


"It's okay." Mama said as she hugged me and rubbed my back, making me feel protected.


I admit it's wrong to have been playing people, but I'm also a human who had time to get out of control like that.


"Mama take a shower first, Kia can tell any story to mama." I just nodded, after my mom left I sat down on the reclining chair that was near the pool.


The quiet atmosphere made my mind travel everywhere. Until when looking at clear water arises the mind to soak my body and brain so as not to bother thinking about the problems that affect me. With clothes still attached to hotpants and T-shirts, I went into the pool water submerged myself for 2 minutes then came out, took a breath and went out again. I don't know how many times the mind suddenly feels empty. I'm like a man sleeping on a bed of ice cubes.


"Kia!!" The scream of someone and my hand being pulled up, made me a little surprised that I felt forced to drink the pool water. I felt like my body was snapping, and the sound of my mother's screams made me open my eyes.


"O Allah, what are you doing!"


Ugh ugh "What happened ?" I asked while looking around, saw papa and mama look anxious, and Raka whose clothes were also wet looked worriedly at me.


"What did Kia do ?" Ask Mama, instead of answering my question, ask back.


"Look at the clear pool water We suddenly want to soak, drown the head so it's a little cool. But after doing some breathing training in the water, I suddenly felt sleepy. Kia felt like sleeping on a cold, but comfortable, block of ice."


"O Allah, when ye are afloat, like a suicidal man!" Raka said making my head dizzy.


I drown, I kill myself is impossible ! I can't do that, I have a religion I have a god."


"Kia, Kia!" The voices of Raka, mama and papa were heard starting to disappear when I felt my eyes were getting heavy to open. My body feels weak, my eyes are hard to open. But I can still hear all the sounds and feel when my body in the bopong is brought to my room.


"Let's go out and let Mama change Kia's clothes. You better get changed too, papa will get Arvin's shirt for you to change!"


"Well pa."


"Please don't forget to call Fino or Cantika, get here!"


"Yes." Yeah."


"What did you do this way. You must be burdened with the news circulating."


I felt my body warm as my mother poured eucalyptus oil all over my body. My eyes slowly opened, "Ma!"


"Dear, what does Kia feel ?"


"Drowsy ma, she's tired."


"Kia's body has no energy to move."


" It's okay, Kia has to believe whatever happens papa, our mom is all there for Kia. Don't be ashamed, don't feel guilty everything there's a silver lining."


I just shook my head until the door opened.


"What happened ?"


"Raka and Fian find Kia floating in the water. But we said when he was soaking he felt sleepy, and fell asleep in a cozy block of ice." It was obviously my mother that I could still hear clearly.


"He's just in shock, it's okay. What does Kia feel ?"


"I'm sleepy."


"Yes, she's asleep now, and she's resting."


"Yes, um."


"Let's talk outside." Said om Fino while embracing mama out of the room, out of it I immediately fell asleep.


"How's Kia,?"asked Fian who walked followed Raka.


"We talk while sitting down."


After sitting all down, Fino noticed Raka before starting to talk. "Are you ready to help my father rise up to the pressures of society ?"


"Everything."


"Physically his body is fine just limp, probably due to loss of appetite. But the words he heard put a lot of pressure on Kia, if this problem is allowed me to worry about severe stress leading to depression."


"O Allah" said Alfie, weeping.


"Feeling sad, moody, empty mood and feeling restless. Loss of energy, feeling tired, weak, lethargic. Changes in appetite. That's what Kia is now experiencing and it leads to depression. As much as possible do not let him be sad, talk to him so that his mind is not empty. Try not to listen to the words that cornered her, or make her mood bad."


"So in Kia's office, she slammed a male employee because of her condescending remarks to Kia."


"What happened to Pa?"


"He's not a papa employee, but papa has met the leader directly. His leadership allowed him to be legally processed."


"Pa how about we just get married, there's no need for a fancy reception that matters legitimately in the eyes of religion and country."


"I agree with your proposal" said Fino.


"Assynnya!" Arvin said as he walked into the house.


"Getishalam."


"A lot of people gather this tumben, what's up?" Said Arvin while sitting next to Raka.


"Papa and mama agree, you should go home and talk to both of your parents. Regarding the issue of demands let Ari take care of."


"Okay, I'll go home first." After saying the greeting Raka directly out.


"What's the matter, pa, what's the claim ?"


"She slammed a man and ended up Raka beating the man to death."


"Wait exactly what happened?"


"Later you'll know, I'll go home first. It's vitamins and sedatives at low doses of sugarcane in pharmacies. Do not give if the condition Kia fine enough vitamins. But if it looks restless, empty vision and insomnia just give !"


"Pa, ma what happened ?" Ask Arvin after Fino leaves.


"Where to tell me, you want to see Kia's condition first."


"Father come with ma, Arvin you better go to the drug-baiting pharmacy !" Said Fian while handing over the prescription medicine to Arvin , before chasing after Alfi.
