"Armghh!!" Arjuna hit the steering wheel with his hands, annoyed.
The man felt resentful, angry and disappointed by the circumstances. Why Juwita, must have bound him like this, while he was too afraid that the woman was reckless. Suddenly the shadow of the past ten years ago flashed in memory.at that time they were eating in the campus cafeteria, Juwita was a striking woman. Both men and women, all looked in amazement at the perfection he possessed.
"Juna, if one day I don't have you together again, will you still like me?" asked the beautiful woman while flanking the pipette with her aunt, then sipping orange ice casually.
"I can't promise anything. It's just that for now, there's no one but you in my heart."
Juwita smiled, looked at the face of the man beside her in the shade, then leaned his head on her shoulder. Suddenly Arjuna's consciousness returned from the daydream, the glare of the car's lights before him flashed through his eyes. He shouted and crossed both hands in front of his face.
Siittt!!
Neither Arjuna nor the car braked suddenly.
"Basstalk blind! You want to die?! This is our street!" Shouted the man who was driving the truck car opened his window and cursed Arjuna, then threw Arjuna's car with a used plastic bottle of drink because of anger. After the satisfaction of cursing it passed, go.
While Arjuna was still in shock, his chest and flowers deflated, not expecting him to still be alive, the shadow of Melati's sweet face flashed across his eyes. He breathed, relieved. Then quickly find his phone, unfortunately the phone left in the park.lucky he has a spare phone, quickly he find Gilsa number and call him.
"Halo Gilsa, please call the police and the hospital, there's a woman who is suicidal out of frustration, here's the address.let them come right away, because the woman sliced her wrist, right on his pulse." The phone closed and Arjuna turned back to the park.
***
In garden.
While carefully hearing Rega's explanation, she did not expect it to turn out her husband's conflict like that, even she was hostile to her own mother and sister. Rega asked the woman to help him, reuniting the friendship between their families, because the Mother was very sad. She missed her firstborn, but she hated him so much.
"Oh so it's like that, I'll try, Doctor."
"Call Rega, Melati. I appreciate you as my sister-in-law, therefore I call you by the appellation, Ma'am."
"Thank you, I also feel more comfortable on such a call. I feel like I am no stranger to you. I think I saw a photo of you when you were a teenager with Arjuna and your Papa."
"Did Arjuna really keep it?" Melati. The man smiled thinly, happily. "Mbak Melati, let's drink his young coconut ice. Oh yeah, I'd like to apologize for following you all this time." Melati smile.
"I'm even happy if I can unite between mother and child who have been separated." Jasmine took her young coconut ice and drank it.
"If Madam Melati doesn't mind, can I meet Mama one day? he often looks at pictures of Madam Melati. I showed you a picture of your wedding reception. Said Mama Ma'am Melati a very pretty girl." Melati smiled thinly. "How Does Mama Jasmine?"
"I'd be so happy to see my mother-in-law." They smile together.
While from a distance Arjuna stood watching the two of them, his face flat, quickly he reached into the pocket of his pants and sent a chat to Gilsa.
[Why did I see Rega in Indonesia? even he was seducing my wife in the park.] Send.
[Just looking for the info, they have been in Indonesia for a year, and now Tuan Muda Rega is working in one of the hospitals in Jakarta.]
[Send me the hospital address. I'll see him tomorrow!] send.
[Good, Sir.]
Arjuna put his phone back in his pants pocket and walked towards Melati. Until there both Melati and Rega were shocked by the sudden arrival of Arjuna.
"I never let you talk to strangers!" He approached Melati without looking at Rega, his sister, and then just took the girl's hand to take her home.
"Sister!" rega and Arjuna cried out. "That's with Mama, she misses her favorite son so much."
Arjuna averted his gaze, he endured the tightness and turmoil in his heart. Indeed, as a child he missed his mother very much, but the shadow of the past seemed to be ravaging the pieces of his heart. For him, his mother was the cause of his father's death, and he still couldn't accept that. Arjuna turned his head, looking at his sister sharply.
"That day, the day I asked you to choose between me and Mama, you chose Mama. Then from that day on, I had no family. Call me Arjuna, my name is Arjuna."
Then he pulled Melati's hand back towards the car. The girl did not dare to make a sound because Arjuna was angry. only occasionally Melati dared to look at the face of the man who had just made her heart flower.
"Next time don't talk to strangers if you're not with me."
"I'm sorry, sir."
Arriving at the car Arjuna quickly opened the door and asked Melati to come in. after which he walked quickly around the head of the car and opened the door for himself, he said, with his face still unfriendly he sat behind the wheel and slowly left the parking lot, arriving home at eleven o'clock in the evening. Arjuna ignored Melati, he just walked into his room.
while the girl knew her husband's heart was not good. After changing clothes the girl ventured to knock on the door of Arjuna's room, long enough Arjuna opened the door. After a long wait Melati was relieved because the man was willing to open the door. With great care Melati approached her husband, she chose to sit on the side of the bed near Arjuna laying down her body.
"Sir, do you hate your Mother so much?" tanya Melati sat next to Arjuna's body lying on the bed. The man remained silent, staring at the light that was burning above the nightstand. He pressed the on-off button alternately so that the lights looked like they were played by children.
"Why are you asking me something like this?" Arjuna inched to a seat, leaning on the head of the bed and stopping his hand activity on the lamp.
"Master, you know? ever since I was a child, I have always wished my mother to love me as much as she loved my sister. For some reason, he always yelled at me and rebuked me. Whatever I did was wrong. And only now do I know the answer, even from you. If only my mother were still there, I would be very happy. Sir, while our mother is still there, love her with all your heart, sir. Because a mother bet her life when she gave birth to us."
Arjuna bowed deeply, he covered his own lips with his eyes closed, strong.
"So hard Melati. I've tried my best to forget everything, but I can't. Honestly I miss Mama, I miss her a lot." Arjuna was silent, it seemed like sadness was entering his heart. "I miss him day and night, morning and evening. My prayers are still the same I offer them to her, only if I have to meet, I can't." Arjuna looked up, resting his shoulders and head on the head of the bed. "I'm too sick to remember my departure, Papa. I'm sick Jasmine." Arjuna sat down, shook his head weakly, and he sobbed. "If it wasn't for Mama, Papa would still be with me right now. hyks hyks hyks." Arjuna grimaced, his hands squeezing his own head.
Seeing Arjuna crying, Melati could not hold back her tears. His heart felt that pain. Jasmine went up in the basket and pulled Arjuna's head into her arms.The man's shoulders shook violently with grief. Melati leaned her chin on the man's head.Once in a while the tear point that melted on the cheek. His hand kept rubbing against Arjuna's back, to win him over. His heart was slashed to see Arjuna like this. Behind his ferocious attitude, it turned out that he had a fragile heart.
"I'm sorry Melati, I shouldn't have cried like this" Arjuna said in between her cries.
"St!! It's all right, Sir. You can show your true self to me. I will listen to whatever you say and keep it a secret. Trust me," whispered Melati in Arjuna's ear. The man was crying and hugging his wife tightly.
