On Bed Om Rudy

A piece of brownie memory

Liany opened her eyes slowly as the sun began to rise, from behind a faint curtain of bright light burst through the floor of her room. His head was no longer heavy even though the faint feeling of nausea was still tickling Liany's abdominal wall. On his little table was a bowl of porridge that was still warm enough to touch. 

The woman tried to sit well and tried to remember her dream, she met her late husband. Liany tried to toughen up, remembering the doctor's message so as not to grieve made him take a breath repeatedly. He should be breastfed and grateful that there is a kind family to hold him here.

“You're up?” Om Rudy's heavy voice rang out with his head poking out from behind Liany's half-opened bedroom door.

“Ouh .. yes, Om,” Liany replied with a small smile, her face was better than it was at dawn.

“Lia, can I take you to the doctor?” from behind Om Rudy sounded Myla's voice and the woman was difficult to be ready and dressed neatly to go to the office.

“No need, Myla, I'm fine, there's aunt Inah too really at home, eat this porridge I must have been stronger again.”

“Then we go to the office first yesa, do not forget to call us if you need anything,” said om Rudy.

“Did you have a mobile phone? You don't have a phone, Om.” Liany twisted the end of her blanket and said in a presumptuous tone.

Myla and Rudy for a moment looked at it, in this day and age there are still people who do not have these communication tools.

“Papa aja buyin Lia yaa, because Myla seems to be coming home later,” persuaded Myla on her papa. Om Rudy nodded that it was easy for him, he could have his secretary buy one unit in a mobile phone store not far from their office building.

“Kalo as soon as I leave first yaa, daaah!” myla exclaimed as she waved her hand at Liany and om Rudy as usual throwing her charming smile at it.

Aunt Katrin had just arrived in her car when Myla's car and Rudy's om car had just left home. Pretty tired felt driving alone a few hours since dawn. Bi Inah immediately greeted the arrival of her master.

“Bapak same Myla has left already, Bi?” ask aunt Katrin with a tired face slammed her butt on a soft sofa in the middle room.

“Iya, Madam, they just left, Mistress wants to drink what?” Bi Inah waited patiently for aunt Katrin's order.

“Hhmmm .. please have a glass of cold orange juice huh, Bi. Oh yeah, what about Lia, is she in good health?” Aunt Katrin remembered her pregnant niece.

“Ouh Non Lia was not feeling well this morning, she was vomiting great Madam, but now it seems to have improved.”

“Ouh, I'll see in his room, I'll drink his juice first, Bi.”

“Good, Mistress, I went inside first,” Aunt Katrin's clothes bag was brought by Bi Inah to be put into her room and rushed to the kitchen to prepare aunty katrin drink. The woman herself was unwinded while looking at the ceiling of her house, still imagined how Satria talked to her, thin and rough and free life she lived. However, it must be admitted the hands of young men like Midas, whatever is handled will bear fruitful results. His company is now crawling more and more advanced in the world of advertising.

“This is the drink, Madam.” Inah's voice cut off her daydream about Satria. Aunt Katrin sipped the cold drink almost half over.

“I want to see Lia first in her room,” said aunt Katrin when she felt her thirst had reduced.

 

“Tante, when does Aunt arrive?” asked Lia with a big smile.

“Newly, this Aunt brought a gift of brownies from a pastry shop that used to be a subscription to Aunt and your late mother.” Aunt Katrin opened it and the sweet smell of chocolate was appetizing.

“Waaah long time ago Lia did not eat this Auntie, the aroma and taste have not changed.” Liany took a piece and tried it, she was moved by the taste of this chocolate back to remind her of her mother. They also talked about the results of the examination of Liany and Rudy who invited him to shop.

“Om you are like that, do not have the heart to see pregnant women, let alone you who are still our relatives. If there is anything do not hesitate to tell Aunt, Om or Myla yaa.” Aunt Katrin stroked Liany's head gently.

“Tante want to take a short break because this afternoon Aunt is going to the office again, there is an evaluation meeting with several directors.”

“Good, Aunt, happy resting yaa.” Liany gave her best smile to aunt Katrin. Still remembered by her when aunt Katrin came to her mother with a battered face, her mother treated aunt Katrin who was sobbing because of her husband's previous treatment. There was a boy's name mentioned by the two mothers but it is not clearly remembered by Liany now. The boy she said was forcibly taken from her.

Aunt Katrin settles down for a moment in her bed, the scent of Rudy left behind makes her feel instant longing for the man who has been with her for more than two decades. Of course all the success she achieved was the intervention of her husband as well. However, aunt Katrin still can not reveal one secret to her husband, she feels the time is not right. The woman who still looks beautiful at her age who is no longer young is rushing to wake up again to look for her cellphone. A line of messages stating she had arrived home were sent to her husband and daughter. Especially for Rudy he typed his desire to eat dinner alone as a redeemer for his longing. 

“Satria Abimanaa.. I bring important news for us and Sparkling!” exclaim Bimo partner Satria in opening an advertising company they named Sparkling. The fat man entered Satria's room with his blaring voice. Satria who was enjoying her coffee almost choked in surprise. 

“Astagah Mooo... can you not enter my usual room?” namel Satria whose back of her hand was hit by a coffee spill. 

“Hopefully the news you brought is worth the heat of this coffee spilling into my hand!” he said again while taking a tissue. 

“Hey Brooo... I brought you some amazing news, we won a long-term advertising contract with that big company, Bisco Ltd and Dunant! Imagine we have a new contract with those two companies, Satria!” bimo with joy. 

“Seriously? Bisco and Dunant chose Sparkling? Awesomeaa!” Satria was no less enthusiastic, never thought if the giant company in the world of snacks and famous online fashion brands will entrust their advertising to Sparkling.

“Since my wife has just given birth I can't get away from her, so I'll handle Bisco and you who are single and free everywhere, who will hold Dunant in P city there.” Bimo split the two contracts which he thought were fair. Satria seemed to not believe he asked Bimo to repeat which city he would go to. 

“Where ... where ? City P?” Satria sighed it was not at all the city she wanted to tread on, the city where aunt Katrin lived and all the bad memories she wanted to forget. 

“They ask you there to handle their ads, home and team and other facilities we will talk about again. Just five months, Sat!” Bimo's voice was heard again and of course as a professional worker he would not mix personal problems with his work. 

“Katrin...” murmured Satria softly after she agreed to the division of her duties with Bimo.
