He's Still Busy
Lintani sat on the side of an Aston gurney, in the hospital, wiping her increasingly protruding stomach. His eyes were fixed on the television screen that reported the development of cooperation between two large companies to cultivate land containing gold. Even the government is involved.
Although, his name is often referred to as the owner and is expected to appear in public, but, he is not tempted at all. Even he met Aston secretly, without saying anything to the reporters seen around the hospital.
Surely the media crew that no one knows the face of Lintani, as the owner of the mountain of gold is like what. He is hidden from the public, because if he is seen and known by the journalists, then, the peace of his life will be disturbed.
He looks at Aston almost every day, and he also meets Yasmin, they are already brothers who get along and support each other.
Lintani supports Yasmin to get married to Petra, but the two wait for Lintani to have her wedding party with Askelan, then they will hold a reception as well.
“Whether it is necessary, Lintani told Yasmin and Petra, they are in the same room, to visit Aston at this time.
The man looked even more excited, his eyes twinkling as he looked at his two grandchildren together. Although his condition did not develop, but, at least he was not more severe.
“Yes! And, we'll catch up with you!” yasmin said as she frolicked in Petra's arms.
“You both make my world feel cramped!”
“What do you mean, do you still remember our past, sorry, if it was too painful for you, so you have trouble forgetting!” petra said, full of guilt.
“Not so, you guys are forcing me too much to make a party, why should you limit yourself? I've been married before and I'm pregnant like this, it'll be hard to make a wedding dress, so, get married without having to wait for me!”
“You're making it up, Lin, many designers will be willing to design your dress!” Yasmin.
“Ah no, I can design my own dress!”
“Really? Then, why didn't you design my dress too?” pinta Yasmin's.
“Hus! It's not appropriate for you to ask Lin to do it. Even though you guys are almost the same age!” aston. The man could not get far from the hospital equipment.
“It's okay Grandpa, if you just design it, I can ..., whatever he wants to sew his clothes to whom?” lintani said as she rubbed Grandpa's hand.
“So, you can only design, without being able to sew it to completion?” ask Yasmin.
“Of course I can, from start designing, choose fabric and also decoration, sequins or other complements to finish, but I can not do when my stomach is big like this!”
Yasmin laughed at her own stupidity, as if forgetting that her brother was pregnant.
“Oh yes, sorry .. sorry.” Said.
“So, we seem to have to be patient ... We will get married if Lin has given birth,” said Petra, she does not want to be considered disrespectful.
“Yes! It's up to you,” said Lintani
“What Mr Askel will pick you up this time, Lin?” ask Yasmin.
“No, she's busy?”
“Nothing, I just still crave not to like the fragrance of my husband's perfume alone!”
“Tell him not to wear perfume!” Petra gave a suggestion while laughing.
“Akh, still can't, I always vomit!”
However, Lintani's answer made Aston and Yasmin surprised, because when they first met at Aston's house at that time, Lintani and Askelan were fine. After all where there is cravings until the age of the womb almost gave birth.
As usual, every time he came home from seeing Aston in the hospital, Lintani was always alone and only Mo accompanied. He had not checked the contents for a long time, because Askelan had not accompanied him. The longing came back, but the worry was much greater. Those two opposing feelings were always at war in his mind.
All hope that Lintani can immediately understand the situation, and forgive Askelan to stay together. However, in fact, Lintani still ignored Askelan, until the age of the womb is close to the day of the birth of her baby.
Lintani walked out of the Aston room, and she paused while passing through the mother and daughter's room, where she used to check her contents with Askelan.
Unexpectedly, however, he meets Rauja and Haifa who are walking from opposite directions, or from a common illness section.
They were surprised and then looked at each other for a moment with complicated gazes.
Rauja and Haifa have been waiting for an opportunity to meet and apologize in a clandestine manner in several places, which are commonly visited by socialites, including malls. They forget that Lintani is not that type of woman, so they do not meet Lintani, after all this time.
Who would have thought if, they actually met in a place like this hospital. Rauja had just checked herself out because she was not feeling well and saw Lintani there.
Lintani ignored them and was about to leave, but just a few steps, Rauja approached her steps.
“Lin! Is that you?” said the woman hesitated a little, but, did not waste this opportunity.
Lintani stops and turns to Rauja.
Rauja hardly believed, seeing Lintani's different appearance, the girl looked fresher and sangt beautiful. The clothes and accessories she wore, so harmonious and classy, she reflected if her true self, no longer the Lintani she had ever known.
“Do we ever know before?” sahut Lintani made Rauja surprised, he was surprised because Lintani still remembered the agreement first, to act as if they did not know each other if they met, so they would ignore each other.
“Lin! You remember, right? I am your lips! We're family!”
Lintani casts her face the other way, upset with the woman who has been so evil, but, suddenly now confesses that they are brothers, not even knowing the shame of confessing to aunt, but, I don't know what he licked his own spit for.
“Sorry, I don't have an Aunt like you! Where is there a brother who asks for compensation money from his kindness, even though he never did any good at all?”
“Do you try to forget our kindness, you once stayed in our house, you ate with ka—“
Not finished Rauja's sentence, Lintani interjected, “Don't you get paid for all that? Let's just say I rented a cramped room in that barn and bought your leftovers! So, we're even!”
“Lin!” Haifa suddenly called out to her with a clear face and a soft voice like back then, “Lin, forgive me.. I'm really sorry .. we are willing to leave as long as you forgive us, we are willing to leave, I'll be banished from this town as long as there's no grudge ... Forgive us!” then she cried. Prostrated at his feet.
Lintani was fooled, is this acting like it used to be or not, but, now Askelan is not with him, is this really true? Thought Lintani.
