Loving Your Own Friend

MensahSen Episode 26

"Sir, would you like to go home with me?" ask me to Sari.

"Not Cit, I'll go first. You go first." The answer.

When I got home, the first thing I went to was Mama's room, I saw Mbok Lilis was feeding Mama. "Mbok let me feed you" I said while taking a plate from Mbok Lilis' hands.

"Ma, do you agree if we move house from here? We'll open a new leaf in our house later." I asked spontaneous to Mama while feeding food.

Mama looked at me with a look that I could not understand, to be honest I was afraid of misspeaking but already, I was afraid Mama became angry.

Unexpectedly, Mama immediately agreed to what I said earlier. Mama said she would follow my wishes if I thought it was the best. At first I did not think about moving house, but when chatting with Kak Sari earlier, I thought.

The Flashback

"I'm so afraid Mama will do that again Brother." My speech

"This is Cit's advice, how about you and Monic Mom move house, the existing house is sold only. Buy a simple house, no need to be too big, after all, who live there are only the three of you with Mbok Lilis, most also later added Ernan. Who knows later Monic is not often remembered with the late Mr. Handi so do not do reckless things anymore." Said Kak Sari

I thought about the advice from Sari, there is a point indeed. I also thought Mama still often imagined Papa, that makes Mama become what she is today.

"Okay, sister, I'll try to talk to Mama first." I said to Sari.

Flashback Off

This morning I will go to Raya's house to ask for help to sell the house to a friend or acquaintance of Om Iyan. Of course I talked about this to Ernan last night by phone, because somehow Ernan should know this. Thankfully, Ernan said, "whatever I agree as long as Brother thinks it's the best." Prattling

"For Om" I said, kissing Om Iyan's hand.

After we sat down, I began to tell my intentions. "So this is Om, Citra could not ask Om for help to sell Papa's house, because Citra and Mama will move."

"Loh Cit, where are you going?" tanya Raya just came down.

"It's not certain where to move, it's just that Mama and I want to open a new page so that Mama does not continue to be moody because she always thinks about the late Papa" I replied.

"Alright if it has become your decision Citra, will try Om offer to friends Om." Speak Om Iyan.

When I finished, I said goodbye to the restaurant.

I hope this is a good choice. My word is on the way

When I arrived, I heard a noise inside the restaurant. I went in and saw the scene of a man hitting the face of the Man in front of him. I approached and tried to break up the fight, but one of the men pointed a sharp weapon at me. I tried to get in the way with my bag, but I had my wrist removed the knife and had a lot of blood.

Only then did Sari come with Security from the outside, then catch the two Men.

"Good image, your hand. Let's go to the room let me treat it!" said Sari panicked.

Lucky morning so the restaurant is still quiet visitors, so not many people who saw the incident earlier.

"What really happened, brother?" I asked when Sari was wearing bandages.

Sari received a phone call, then said that I and several witnesses had to meet the two men at the Police Station to give a statement.

At the Police station..

After I gave the caption, I saw the two men again. I just remembered something, one of the Men was the one who spoke to Rika the other day at the Cafe.

Who the hell is he? I've been very curious, but the police said they had to wait some time to find out the motive behind their fight.

I finally returned to the restaurant with Sari. How do I get home later, while my hands hurt like this. I said in my heart

The restaurant is closed today because the police will conduct an investigation at the TKP.

.......

A week passed, yesterday Om Iyan informed him that there was a friend who was interested in buying my house, and today that person will look at the house.

I deliberately did not go anywhere today, because Iyan waited for his friend Om Iyan to come.

Finally the long-awaited ones came as well, I greeted them at the door. There were three people who got out of the car, including Om Iyan.

"Loh, Brother Riza" I said in shock after the three men approached.

It turns out that the man who will buy my house is his father, Kak Riza, what a coincidence indeed.

After looking around the house, finally his father Kak Riza agreed to buy this house. He gave me a week to vacate the house.

"Thank you sir." I said while kissing the hands of his father Brother Riza as they were going home.

Tring....

"Hello, yes sir" I asked.

"All right, I'll be there later" I said again.

Police told him that they had gotten the result of a motive for two men's fight the other day at the restaurant.

I went into my room to clean up my things. When I saw the picture frame, there was a picture of me with Arka there. I remembered him again.

How is he doing, what is he doing, and where is he now? Why did that Arka setega leave me alone here without any clarity. Can I hope you'll come back Ar? At least come to see the tomb of Papa Ar, did you not say my Papa is your Papa too, did you forget Papa used to defend you more often than I am his own son Ar?

I shed tears remembering those days, a time when there was only me and Arka, no one and anything that bothered us. A time when Arka was willing to do anything to fulfill my wishes. How can it be that easy you forget the story of our fewteen years Ar? The person I once thought would accompany me forever just left when I was fragile. You evil Ar.

"Sorry Non, Doctor Susi has come" said Mbok Lilis from behind the door.

"Yes Mbok, I'll be down soon" I replied.

I wiped my tears and walked down to Doctor Susi. Dr. Susi is a psychologist Mama, has met several times and proved there is a change in the attitude of Mama now.
