Chapter 19

"Ck, who's the one who's been visiting this early!" Upset, Lastri stepped forward with Zevanya who was about to leave school.

"Wa'alaikumsallam." Lastri when opening the door.

"Good morning, Auntie. Areta exists?" Sapa Raisya who came with Rivan.

"Eh Raisya, there's a kog. This who? Your future husband?" Lastri asked Raisya.

"Not really, Tan. This is Raisya's boss, Areta's former boss, too." The light of Raisya made the middle-aged woman nod.

"Come, come in. Areta's in the room, taking the baby." Tell Miss Lastri to her two guests.

When he was about to enter the house, Rivan passed Zevanya who was about to go to school. Accidentally their views met each other, but Rivan quickly threw away his gaze and caught up with Raisya without saying anything.

"So he's Areta's former boss." Gunam Zevanya who immediately drove his motorcycle to school.

"Areta!!" Raisya cheers as she walks into Areta's room dressed for Babby Bian.

"Hi aunt Raisya!" Reply Areta with a sparkling face when she sees the face of a friend who so longed for. In contrast to Raisya who even scrunched his forehead when he saw the appearance of the friend. A pale face without makeup with dark circles that are clearly visible under the eyes, shabby negligee and hair tied carelessly. A moment later Raisya realized that heavy things were being lived by his best friend. Raisya slammed into Areta's arms, hugging her friend's body which is now getting thinner.

"Ehm!" Rivan cleared his throat making the two women let go of their embrace.

"Geez, I forgot that I came here with Rivan." Chirps Raisya feels guilty for her boss.

"Please come in, sir! Sorry to mess this up." Areta tells her former boss who is still standing in the doorway. The man immediately entered and then commented a smile.

"Mom Areta, this is a gift for your baby." Rivan handed A gift box to Areta.

"Thank you, sir. It troubles even this father." Reply Areta pleasantries.

Kriing kriing....

Suddenly Rivan's phone rang, the man asked permission to leave Areta's room to pick up the phone. A few minutes later, the man came back with a rash move.

"Mr Areta, Ms. Raisya. I'm sorry I have to say goodbye first because there's an important matter." Pamit Rivan later.

"Silahkyan, Sir!" Answer the two women simultaneously.

"Mom Raisya can't come home alone?" Ask Rivan to Raisya.

"No, sir. I'll take a taxi online." Reply Raisya smiled.

"I'll say goodbye then, excuse me." Rivan then walked out of the house escorted by Raisya.

Miss Lastri emerged from the kitchen carrying two cups of warm tea for her guests.

"Lho, where's your boss Raisya?" Lastri asked, looking for the whereabouts of Rivan.

"Just go home, Auntie. There's important business he said." Answer Raisya as he is.

"When Aunty has made you drink, jaudah nih tea for you." Lastri handed a cup of warm tea to Raisya.

Areta is putting Babby Bian in a baby box. Raisya closed and locked his best friend's room to be more free to chat.

"Areta, what's this handsome babby called?" Raisya asked stroked the cheeks of the little angel who was drowning in a dream cradle.

"His name is Febriyan Wiratama, Onty. But called Bian. Come sit down, I miss you." Take Areta with her best friend's hand to sit on the edge of her bed.

"Areta, what burden do you have after you stop working and become a mother?" Raisya asked staring in the bead of her best friend's eyes. Areta did not budge, her tears just fell without being held back. Raisya clutched Areta's body in her arms.

"Cry, Areta. Cry until you feel relieved, there I will hold you here." Lirih Raisya in the ears of her best friend.

Areta unraveled the embrace after her crying subsided.

"Thank you Raisya, I don't know what else to do if there's no you." Areta said later.

"Now tell me what's going on, why are you getting so thin? Didn't you eat with Andrias? Your appearance is also a mess, like it's not the Areta I know." Raisya looked at the face of her best friend who looked so apprehensive in her eyes.

"I've been like a maid in my own house Raisya, mother told me to do all the housework. Since giving birth I can only eat tofu and mustard with the reason to Asi smoothly. And every night I stay up alone when my baby's fussy." Areta's story is back sobbing.

"Aren't you helping Andrias take care of your son?" Investigating Raisya narrowed his eyes. Areta just shook her head.

"Mas Andrias doesn't know that I do all the housework, including cleaning mom's and Zevanya's clothes. When it comes to food he asks me what mom says, because he thinks my in-laws are experienced." Raisya exhaled a rough breath hearing the story of her best friend.

"Now you take a shower, dance. I'm taking you for a walk." Raisya told the woman who was still busy removing the trace of tears on her cheeks.

"But if you're angry continue to complain to Andrias how?" Areta asked looking at her best friend with a frightened face.

"I'm in charge, you hunt for a bath. I'm taking a taxi online, you need to make yourself happy too." Like a buffalo poked in his nose, Areta obeyed the orders of her best friend.

A few minutes later, the two friends came out of the room by pushing Babby Bian inside the stroler.

"Well, where are you Areta?" Lastri asked when she saw her daughter-in-law coming out of the room.

"Areta wants me to come out for a minute, Te. I'll bring Auntie's favorite food later, can you?" Rayu Raisya on Miss Lastri.

"Jaudah may, but don't come home late in the afternoon! Buy aunty ribu burn ya!" Book Lastri bu who immediately gave permission after being led-iming food by Raisya.

"Ready, Aunt." Reply Raisya put his four fingers on his forehead as if giving a salute, then headed for the online taxi that was already waiting in front of the fence.

After nearly thirty minutes of traveling, they finally reached their destination. The biggest mall in town. Raisya buys Areta and Babby Bian some clothes and then heads to a restaurant where Raisya orders a lot of food for her best friend.

"Eat first, Reta. Breastfeeding mothers should eat nutritious so that ASI smoothly. Starting tomorrow at lunchtime I'll buy food and anterine right into your house." Raisya's words at length made Areta chuckle and almost choke on her food.

"Ra, I'm not the kingpin you're gonna have to pay for. I still have savings and severance pay from Mr. Rivan. But I deliberately did not tell the money problem to my husband and in-laws. Let them say I'm unemployed who has nothing." Areta's rant made her best friend stop chewing then looked at Areta's face and smiled thinly.

"You're right, Areta. Don't let them know about the money, and my advice. If you are tired and your patience has reached its limit, stop. Let go of Andrias if you are no longer happy, you are beautiful and you are precious." Raisya's message clasped his best friend's hand tightly.

After finishing the meal and chatting about many things, the two decided to go home. Don't forget to bring food for Miss Lastri. But when going out of the restaurant, Areta's eyes caught the sight of a male and female figure who looked friendly by feeding each other food to her partner.

"Congratulations, Raisya. That's kan..."
