Merapi Never Ingkar Janji 2 (The Return of the Sultan)
SS. 44. The Arrival of Bulek Rukmini
Dinner is ready at the dinner table. Unlike the previous nights, this dinner was only He, Al and Nindya.
Mother is still struggling with her business outside the city. While Mbak Watik is still with the permission that he conveyed the other day.
The atmosphere was silent, only the sound of spoons and dishes clashing against each other. Al had finished his dinner. He stood up and went somewhere.
As for Tata, she was more relaxed, eolah never happened to them.
"Mama, Dya to Papa first huh ?" Pinta the little girl after finishing her dinner.
His task was still not finished, he had to clean up everything that was scattered in the kitchen. Mumpung Nindya is playing with her Papa.
"Yes, drink milk first, baby." Call her to the little girl who is still struggling spoiled with her adoptive Papa.
Hearing her name called, Nindya immediately went down and approached Anita. Unlike Al, who went straight to the front porch when he saw Tata coming to them both.
'What else is going on with Mr Al ? Why is his attitude so strange.' he lamented inwardly.
But Tata realized her position in the house was just a nanny.
'Maybe it's better that way, so no one feels hurt or hurt.' Thought again.
***
"I just want to meet with Anita for a minute !" A mother's screams her name.
"But it's already night, Sister Tata does not accept guests night-night." Answer Mr. Slamet.
"Say, if I want to meet her !" Sneaky.
"I'm sorry Mom, I'm just doing my job. I better come back tomorrow morning." Pinta Pak Slamet.
Bbbrrrraaaakkk !
An upset and emotion made Bulek Rukmini and his daughter kick the gate. He no longer felt pain.
The noise was inevitable, making Al have to intervene.
"What is this ?" Ask flat.
"Pak Al, Mr Al still remember me ? I'm Anita's Bulek, I want to meet my niece. There's something important I need to talk about." Said asking.
"Open up sir." Al's orders to Mr. Slamet.
"Good Sir."
"Basic lackey ! You don't know who I've dared to pretend to be !" Bumped to Mr. Slamet when the gate began to open.
'Astaqfirullah ... Distinct from the subtle Maak Tata, these are older people but more judes, the nonsense is like an uneducated person.' Mumbled Mr. Slamet growled.
If only there were no Al sisihnya, maybe already in the tabok mouth spicy.
"Please wait a minute, I'll call Anita." Said Al.
"Thank you Mr. Al." Answer Astrid flirtatious.
Before long, Tata was already in the pendopo with them.
"Bulek, Astrid, what are these nights ?" Tata asked in wonder.
"What's up, what's up ? Not yesterday I told you the same. Why don't you come to the house !" Answer Astrid ketus.
"Astrid, please take care of your words. It's night, after all you're visiting people's houses." The word Tata reminds.
"Bulek is just holding you accountable." Sela Bulek Rukmini's.
"What is Bulek responsible for ?" Tata's question did not understand where the Bulek talks were going.
"Andri comes to our house, if in the next two weeks, we don't settle your Paklek debts, he'll confiscate his house." Bulek said with a high tone and bulging eyes.
"Why should I, then what is the debt for ?"
"All because of you, because you have humiliated Andri in public, so he is angry and does not want to give grace to us anymore." Said Bulek again.
"I, I don't understand what this Bulek means."
"Have, don't ask too many questions. Tomorrow afternoon, I'll wait for you at home. Because Andri and his family are coming home." Bulek said he was constantly blaming him.
"Yes Bulek, tomorrow I will come home." Tata's answer ends this debate.
"Well, I'll go home first."
"Be careful when you get to 10 tomorrow, you don't come." Threat Astrid.
"Mama." Call Nindya who suddenly came out from inside the house.
The nickname that Dya gave to Tata made Bulek Rukmini and Astrid gawk and stop her steps.
Moreover, after they had completely confirmed, that the 'Mama' that the little boy had summoned earlier was Anita.
"Hey, whose child is this ? Why did she call you Mama ?" Bulek asked suspiciously.
"Don't you, Mom's niece is selling herself, or maybe she's Mr Al Buk's mistress ?" Astrid's bucket mouth started to act.
"Guns ... Don't worry about you, she might already have a child this big." The Bulek Rukmini
"Yes my son." Sela Al cutting.
"Eh, Mr. Al. You mean this kid's Mr Al's son ? But why call my niece 'Mama'." Ask Bulek kepo.
"That doesn't matter to you, which is clear whatever Tata's business is, is also my business." Answer Al firmly.
That answer made both of them gawk, as well as silence their bucket mouths.
One more act Al that makes Tata can not do anything.
'Why Mr. Al is so willing to enter into my complicated life.' He murmured in his heart.
'What exactly does Mr Al want from me ?'
Guilt and indebtedness, that's what Tata is currently feeling.
Since the return of Bulek Rukmini from his employer's house, Tata could not close his eyes at all.
He's out just looking for the night wind. He left the already sound Nindya in his dreams.
"You can't sleep either ?" Sapa Al surprised.
"Yes sir, uh ... Mr Al himself, what are these nights outside ?"
"Just like you're thinking of someone." The answer is full of mystery. His eyes were far away glaring among the scattered stars.
'But that someone is you, Mr. Al, a nobody. Unlike Mr. Al, who has a heart to think about and talk to together.' Think Tata in the heart.
"It may be for Mr. Al, but I'm not sir." Tata's answer is no less than a puzzle.
'Do you never feel, if what I'm thinking is you Tata.' Mumbled Al in the heart.
"Pak Al want me to make tea what coffee might be ?" Bargain, brushed off the awkward feeling.
"No, thank you."
They kept quiet for a long time without talking.
"What did that man do with your Uncle's family ?" Tanya Al broke the silence.
"I don't know for sure, sir. Tomorrow afternoon I'll go to make sure." The answer.
"Don't leave before I get home from the office."
"I mean Mr ?"
"I'm taking you to your Uncle's house."
"I think I can do it myself, sir."
"You can't go out without my permission." Al answered.
"And one more, while you're there, don't call me Father. I'm too old." Own omelnya.
I don't know what plan Al's gonna do there. To be sure, Tata's current task is only according and follows instructions only.
