Love to Aruna

CUA Chapter 31

''Aruna, thank goodness you've come to your senses, son. Mama's so happy." Mrs Galuh said as she hugged her daughter.

"Mama's happy too, son. Thank God you finally realized." Sahut Mrs Ratih.

"But Mah, for what Aruna was aware of but Zio had already left Aruna. When Aruna wakes up, Zio is gone." Aruna shed tears when she remembered Zio.

''We were also devastated because Zio could not be saved. We all chose that decision because Zidane still needs you as much as Arya does.'' Said Mrs Ratih.

''Yes son, we all feel lost. Mama knows it's very hard for you but slowly you have to learn to take it, and so do we. You have to be strong and passionate for Zidane and Arya.'' Says Mrs Galuh.

''Yes Mah, I will definitely be strong and passionate for Zidane but if for Mas Arya, I cannot promise that.'' Aruna muttered in his heart. Madam Ratih then wiped her daughter-in-law's tears gently.

''Aruna, we're here with you, baby. We all love you here.'' Said Mrs Ratih.

''Thank you, Mah.''

''Sama-sama dear.'' Said Mrs Ratih. That night Aruna was quite amused by the arrival of her parents and daughter-in-law. At least he could slightly forget his pain due to Arya's attitude. Moreover, Zidane also joined them and it further adds to the spirit of Aruna. But there is something else that disturbs Aruna's mind. Aruna overhears Arya and her Papa's conversation, about the hospital's fee being paid off.

''keel off? Who paid for my hospital expenses? Papa Jodi is not, not even my own Papa is either.'' Aruna muttered in his heart. Aruna recalled the accident. Aruna finally remembers an incident, in which Daniel the last time he saw saved her. Aruna also recalled asking Daniel to pick Zidane up at school.

''Daniel the playboy? She's she? He saved me. Did he pay for it? But it feels impossible. Mas Arya didn't ask me anything, let alone mention Daniel. What after taking me to the hospital Daniel left?'' aruna muttered inwardly with a myriad of question marks.

''Let me find out later. What is clear is that after I recover, I will immediately find work and immediately take care of my divorce. I still love Mas Arya. It's not even easy to forget Mas Arya but I'm just an ordinary human being. I can't do it if I have to be in honey. This decision is very tough but if I stay, it will be more painful. At times like this, Mas Arya still thinks about the woman without taking care of my feelings. What if I get back to health? Of course you will ignore me and Zidane even more.'' Aruna said in her heart.

And after almost two weeks in hospital, Aruna finally allowed to go home. The first place Aruna visited was Zio's funeral. Aruna goes to the funeral accompanied by Arya. Staring at the navel of her second son, Aruna's tears could not stop flowing.

''Forgive Mommy, baby. Forgive Mami who can't take care of you. If time can turn back, Mami is better to be at home. Forgive Mami, Zio.'' Sobs Aruna while hugging Zio's tombstone. Arya could only stare at Aruna who continued to cry without being able to utter a single word.

''Honey, it's been yes don't drag on. We've been here a long time. We'd better go home. Moreover, you just got out of the hospital, you need some rest.''

''It's all because of you, Mom. Did you not realize that you had torn apart my inner thoughts?''

''Why do you blame me? I offered to pick you up. But you yourself are not the one who refused?''

''You should know why I refused? You think my heart doesn't hurt going to face the woman who has taken my husband.''

''Nothing was taken, Aruna. I'm still your husband.'' Arya. Aruna then stood up in annoyance, she pushed Arya. Aruna leaves Zio's funeral.

''Aruna, where are you going? You just healed.'' Shouted Arya, but Aruna did not care. Arya then goes after Aruna. Aruna kept running until he got a taxi. And Arya doesn't manage to catch up with Aruna. In the taxi, Aruna could only cry. Arya then returned to her car and immediately chased after Aruna.

''Miss, where are we going?'' ask the taxi driver.

''Just walk, sir.'' Replied Aruna who was crying in silence. Finally, Aruna decided to go to a playground. Hibura park where he, Arya and Zidane spent time together. Aruna got out of the taxi and entered the amusement park. Aruna walked alone in the crowd. He then chose to sit near a vast artificial lake. Aruna closed her eyes, vividly recalling all those wonderful memories. But it will only be a memory that will never be repeated.

''Yes Fer, what's wrong? I'm tired of work.'' Daniel answered with ease.

''Where the hell is Elo? Lately I have been saying a lot and not telling you. Bokap elo, nyariin elo.''

''Tell me the same Papa if I go to Mama's grave, Papa will definitely not be angry anymore. Okay, so don't bother me just yet.'' Daniel ended his call. Fero could only sigh harshly because his best friend had always been a burden to him. The burden of continuing to make sense with a narrative that he must give to Mr. Hutama, for the sake of Daniel's personal interests.

Daniel then continued his steps towards a lake. He stared at the vast expanse of the lake. Daniel smiled when he saw a family riding a swan boat on the lake. One family looked happy with a big smile. And it reminds Daniel of his memories with his mother. Daniel's childhood was more spent with his mother because of course his father was busy with taking care of the company.

When Daniel's view turned 90 degrees, from a distance he saw a figure that was not familiar to him.

''Isn't that Madame Aruna? What is he here for?'' murmured Daniel. Just as Daniel was about to greet her, his steps suddenly came to a halt.

''Don't Daniel. Right now he needs time to be alone.'' Daniel said in his heart. Daniel ignores Aruna and remains focused on the beauty of the lake. But Daniel suddenly remembered an incident. Occurs when he was 9 years old. The incident at this amusement park, when Daniel was crying because he was separated from his mother in the crowd. At that time Daniel was really confused looking for his mother. At last there was a girl who greeted him. The little girl, who was three years older than Daniel, then helped Daniel to find his mother.

*Flashback On*

''You calm down, don't cry anymore. I'll help you find your mother. Where was the last time you were separated from her?'' said the girl. Daniel did not say much at the time, he just showed his hand towards the propeller vehicle. The girl then tightly held Daniel's hand, breaking through the crowd to look for his mother. After traveling around for a long time, Daniel finally managed to find his mother.

''That's my Mama!" daniel shouted at the girl.

''Call your Mama. Your mother must be worried too.'' Say the girl.

Daniel nodded and called his mother. ''Mama!" daniel shouted with all his might. Daniel then ran to embrace his mother.

''Daniel, where have you been, son?''

''Daniel looking for Mama. Sorry Daniel yes Mah. Luckily someone helped Daniel find Mama.''

''Who's son?'' ask Lady Diana.

''That's Mah!" Daniel turned his head and pointed at the girl, but she was no longer there.

''Where's Daniel? Mama should thank him.''

''It looks like he's gone, Mah.'' Said Daniel. Daniel drew his mother's hand and took her to the place where the girl was standing. And Daniel only found a butterfly hairpin there. Daniel's eyes kept trying to find the girl but he found the girl running towards the exit. Then the girl got into a car and finally disappeared from her sight.

''I hope someday we can meet again, at least I want to say thank you. At once I want to introduce Mama to you.'' Daniel murmured in his heart as he clasped the butterfly's flops.
