Mother's Secret

The pent-up feeling

15 Years ago

"dik As, I'm sorry, can I have some time?" suryo asked while adjusting his breathing

"lahhh mas Suryo.kok run lhooo, As weighed aja, kok until run-run that.." Astuti stopped his steps while turning towards Suryo.

Suryo Bagaskara, a 1-child widower, Astuti's co-worker. Suryo in finance and Astuti in General. Suryo has been harboring feelings for Astuti for several months, but in his custody, Suryo feels inferior to the girl in front of him. Sweet, smart and deft. Whereas he was just an ordinary employee, let alone with his 1st childless widower status, the courage said the feeling instantly evaporated in the wind. He only dared to approach just as a friend without daring to express his taste.

"dik As, I want to ask for help" Pinta Suryo

"what a mas, monggo ngendika aja" replied Astuti

"can I go to my room for a second? or is Dik As in a hurry to go home?"

"oh, mboten mas, what's up?"

"thank God.ayo to my room for a moment"

Astuti followed Suryo while asking, "what's up to mas?"

"this you know, the Yudhis, was escorted here with my mother, my mother suddenly had a need, whereas Mr. Banu ngajak meeting at 16:00 this, can you please accompany Yudhis?"

"owalahh.ada Yudhis tooo.iyaa ga papa, mas Suryo, kirain what you know.if yudhis friend really want to really, let's not pick me up"

"lho Purwo would like to pick me up? I don't feel good, brother"

"sampun, mboten difficult to compare you know mas, same friends themselves kok ga delicious"

Yes, Purwo is Suryo's best friend, they were friends when High School and separated because they chose a different place to go to college. Purwo chose the Faculty of Medicine and Suryo at the Faculty of Economics.

"sekedhap mas, I called Purwo first"

Astuti picks up his phone and contacts Purwo

"allo.mas purwo.."

"hallo.dik As, the pick-up mas rather late in the afternoon, have not been able to get out of the Hospital"

"mas no need to pick up, I was visited by Yudhis, his son mas Suryo, later I went home to take a taxi, mas"

Purwo across there just scrunched his forehead "Suryo, I told you, stop your race on Astuti, I don't want to be hurt between you because of Dirdjo's paklik.." inwardly, "oh ya wis ra popo, I don't want to get hurt between you guys because of Dirdjo's paklik, miko ati-ati ya.."

"nggih mas"

Purwo tapped on the base of his nose, he had several times reminded his good friend, not to be too close to his sister, especially if not for his status, too bad, because actually Purwo is very familiar with how Suryo, but he was very familiar with how his Dirdjo paklik, even Paklik Dirdjo always blatantly asked for his help to bring Astuti closer to his cousin son's son. only because of the status of the father of the Son who is of noble descent and the president of the company.

Each time Purwo reminded Suryo of that, Suryo simply replied, "Pur, I'm comfortable with Dik As, I love him, Pur, although I'm still ashamed to admit it in front of Dik As"

Purwo knows exactly about it. His good friend would not deny it, already 4 years his good friend himself, because of the death of his wife Ratih when giving birth to Yudhis, and when he knew Astuti he finally felt the same taste again. Even Purwo who accidentally introduced them, when Rio got the invitation of Yudhis birthday, 3 months ago, he said, Purwo asks Astuti to accompany him and Rio to the birthday party because Emilh has to escort her mother to their distant brother's house. it was at the event that Purwo only realized that Astuti and Suryo worked at the same company.

"i know buddy, I know.I know about your race, hopefully As hasn't felt it" Purwo said.

"sorry doc, there's a patient coming in on the IGD" the nurse called out her daydream and made her run towards the IGD again.

back to Astuti

"mas Suryo, where's Yudhis?"

"it's on my desk"

Astuti glanced over at Suryo's desk, where he saw the puffed-up boy clutching a pair of colored tweezers on his right hand and potato chips on his left.

"lho you know.si handsome Yudhistira.mau maem what do you want pictures.if you want pictures, potato chips put first.."

"wanted aunty's gambal." Yudhis replied with his slurred voice while still chewing on his potato chips.

"if you want a picture, sampun potato chips first yes, the paper will be dirty" said Astuti while removing a wet tissue from his bag.

"he em." answered judith

"Yudhis, wait for the father here accompanied by aunty As yes, you still have a meeting"

"he em" answered Yudhis

"you see, ora pareng fussy"

"he em father, it's too lateaaa I want the same gamble aunt As" said Yudhis while scowling...

"sampun sampun mas, let Yudhis with me, has been awaited by Mr. Banu you know"

"sampun, dik, tipped Yudhis nggih" Suryo said as he walked backwards out of the room as if reluctant to leave them.

"nggih mas"

Suryo stepped out of the meeting room with a giant step, "haish.dealing dropping funds to the factory nih jan.drain my energy.." he lamented inwardly. but that feeling turned 180° for seeing his beloved son fall asleep on the lap of his dream girl. The girl also seemed to close her eyes. Suryo's heart warmed up to see them.

Suryo immediately approached them and bent his legs to look at Astuti up close. Suryo was really stunned to see the softness of Astuti's face, his perfectly curved eyebrows, his tiny nose, even his tiny lips were perfect in Suryo's eyes. O Lord, the perfect creation of this Thy, his mind. slowly he stretched out his hand to tidy the haircut Astuti. The touch surprised Astuti, Astuti, at once Astuti's eyes were rounded and his cheeks were blushing because Suryo's face was so close that they were fixated for a few seconds.

Suryo immediately regained his senses, turned his face and turned his back while saying "keep Yudhis tiring ya dik"

"eh mboten mas, I'm sorry I overslept" Astuti replied as she continued to lower her face to keep her heartbeat normal. "Aw me why is this, why is it like this looking at Suryo mas?" inner Astuti.

Suryo eliminated his groin by cleaning Yudhis drawing equipment and throwing out packs of potato chips.

"Come on, I'll drive you home"

"duh, mboten mas, I take a taxi" elak Astuti

"don't you, I have to take you to As, that's Yudhis is still the angler in me in As"

"oh no sampun, mas"

Astuti held Yudhis who was still sound asleep.

Silence in the car. Astuti looked away, pretended to look out the window, to hide the shame from his face.

"what do you want to eat, dik" said Suryo broke the silence

" mboten, mas, mboten hard to bother."

"ah ga, dik, Yudhis ya haven't eaten, or buy at drive thru aja ya"

"monggo is up to us"

after stopping buying a meal at the drive thru, they continued on their way.

"dik, nyuwun ngapunten, this is my delivery to Purwo's house just nggih"

" yo mas Suryo did not know to, my house and Purwo mas house is one page"

"uh yes to?which house is east of it?"

"nggih mas"

"have I ever seen As to?"

"ah mas aja who did not see, I always see mas if mas play to the Pur mas house, also if invited mbak Ratih, I also see" astuti said as he continued to try to hide the red hue of his cheek.

"uh what is it, brother?"

"nggih mas"

"my God, why did I waste it" Suryo regretted in his heart.

Before long, they reached the house of Astuti and Astuti was willing to enter his house.

Purwo who witnessed this from his home, immediately went out to get his good friend.

"Suryo, I'm going to want to..."

"Pur, as I said before, I'm sorry that I love your sister. Allow me to Pur"

"sorry Sur, I just don't want any disputes with us later"

"Pur, let time answer"

"yo wis, kae your son as a sludge"

"okay Pur, I say yes, greetings to Emily"

" yes.yes..."

"suryo, I know, buddy, I know"

meanwhile, Astuti is still behind the door and hears all the words between Purwo and Suryo, "what's right, Suryo loves me?"

"where is ndhuk ndhelik ning mburi lawang?" his father's heavy voice shocked him.

"eh mboten father, until father, I go to the room first" Astuti replied as he ran to his room.
