One Big Dipper Two Love

Chapter 110

After Yuda left the park bench, Harum also stood up and went to the canteen. Up there, Harum did his job. Harum's duties and responsibilities in the cafeteria are the same as his duties when working at Bu Mirna's tavern, which is taking care of bookkeeping and financial administration.

Not only that, Harum actually has a big contribution in the development of Yuda's canteen which has only been established since the last two years. Some of the dishes in the cafeteria are using recipes from Harum.

At the beginning of opening a canteen business, Yuda who knew that Harum was good at cooking and said the cuisine was delicious, invited Harum to work together. Yuda bought a fragrant recipe with a break up selling system. Breaking sales is an agreement that requires the creator to submit his creation through paid off by the buyer so that his economic rights turn to the buyer. Yuda paid a lot for some fragrant recipes. Especially Harum fried rice and fragrant clear soto which became the mainstay menu in the canteen owned by the handsome doctor.

Two hours Harum was in the cafeteria because he had to pick up his daughter Yuda. Like Yuda's message, after school he brought little Harum to the cafeteria and would later wait for Yuda to take him to lunch together.

“Mami we wait in the room papi aja yuk!” bring a small fragrance when getting out of the car. His daughter Yuda refused to be invited to the cafeteria and asked to wait in the papi's room.

“No way, Honey. Kan said Papi, Harum should not go to the hospital because many viruses.”

“Ah, don't want to. I want to wait in the papi room aja.”

“We go to the halfway house! There are many games loh,” poke Harum.

“There is a slide?”

“There's dong.”

“If there is a swing?”

“There's dong.”

“Iya, I'm going there.”

Harum finally brought little Harum to the halfway house which also belonged to the family of Judah. Bu Yusma established a halfway house with the aim of helping patients from outside Jakarta and even from all parts of Indonesia as an alternative place to live patients to be closer to the hospital.

After about half an hour of play and it was close to lunchtime, Harum took little Harum to the cafeteria.

“Mami to the canteen anyway? I want to go to Papi aja,” small Fragrant protest that is struggling spoiled in Harum's arm.

“Iya, Darling. But we go to the cafeteria first. Mami's bag missed in the cafeteria as well. Later if papi phone, how?”

“But, don't take long huh, Mami.”

“Iya, Darling.”

The two walked hand in hand while talking about activities at school.

“Mami, earlier in school there was a cockroach loh.”

“Hah, time anyway?”

“Iya. And my friend was crying because of the same fear of cockroaches. I'm not afraid of dong.”

“Wih, Fragrant great dong not afraid of cockroaches.”

“Iya dong.”

“Whose son used to be.”

“The daughter of Yuda Mahendra," a small Harum chirp that suddenly makes Harum laugh.

Harum was laughing crisply because he heard Little Harum mention the name of Yuda completely when a man called his name.

“Ha-rum.”

Without even looking, Harum already knew who the man who called his name was. Where maybe Harum can forget the voice of Hangga if in fact for two years he so missed the call ‘Harum Babes’ from the man. The sound of the shaking Hanges calling out his name also shook the heart of Harum.

Slowly Harum turned his head towards Hanges. Highlight the eyes full of longing it met. There was no sound coming out of the fragrant lips. There were no greetings, greetings or long sentences flowing from the lips of the woman. Likewise with the Hanges, all rows of characters seemed to disappear from the brain and could not be triggered from his lips. The two were silent, glued, silent and looking at each other. Until the whining sound of little Harum cut off their gazes.

“Mami, let's go to Papi's place,” a little Harum whine while pulling Harum's hand to follow him. “Come, Mami, we go to Papi. That's the papi out.”

Hangga was excited to hear the sentence that the beautiful little boy said. Too focused on staring Harum causes him to realize that there is a small child held by his ex-wife.

Without saying goodbye. Just a nod of the head as a farewell greeting, Harum left the ex-husband he still loved, following little Harum's whimper to go to his papi.

Hangga was still fixated on seeing Harum's steps that kept moving away from her. He who is in a standing position then melungsur sit on the bench that was in his place.

Mommy's? The little boy called Harum's name Mami? Is that boy a fragrant kid? Inner Hanges to wonder. Harum must have been married to a widower and it was the son of her husband.

Hangga still guessed about his unexpected encounter with Harum when his cell phone rang. Feelings of anxiety immediately burst into the heart of Hangga when he found out the number of the nurse who contacted him.

“Iya, Sus.”

“By lunch, Sus. What's up?”

“If you can, Father quickly come here. Ms. Nata should not be left alone for long. The conditions are down again, sir, the weather is down again.”

“Good, Sus. Thank you, I'll be there soon,” said Hangga panicked. Instantly he remembered his meeting with Harum just now. “Astagfirstuloh, why I couldn't stand Harum to want to meet Nata,” lirihnya.

The shock made Hangga unable to think properly. He had not expected to meet Harum at this hospital. Plus the name ‘Mami’ from a small child who looks very familiar with Harum.

Hangga had already swung a hasty step about to catch up to Harum, but the voice of the canteen maid stopped her steps.

“Pak, where are you going? The food is not paid!”

“Astagfirulloh.” He returned to the canteen to pay for his food.

“Sorry, I forgot. How much is it, Ma'am?” The waiter mentioned the nominal price to be paid and Hangga immediately paid it.

“Thank you, Ma'am.”

“Iya, equally, Sir.”

“Oya, Ma'am. Sorry if I could know who this canteen has?” ask Hangga who became reminded of the name of the canteen that uses the name Harum. This canteen belongs to Harum. Her thought.

“This canteen has a doctor working here too, sir. His name is doctor Yuda.”

“Oh, doctor Yuda.”

“Betul, Sir. You know doctor Yuda?”

“Yes, he handled my wife in this hospital,” replied Hangga. It should be called Harum, and not the daughter of the doctor Judah was called Harum. “Still yes, Ma'am,” close it.

Then, Hangga continued his search for Harum, but the traces of his ex-wife had disappeared. Not wanting to linger leaving Nata, he decided to go back to Nata's treatment room.

*

Throughout the lunch with Yuda and his daughter, Harum never stopped thinking about his meeting with Hangga. Many times Judah rebuked him for finding himself daydreaming.

“Rum, you why?” ask Yuda. From the ripples on her face, Yuda believes that something is going on with Harum.

“Eh, why not, Mas,” replied Fragrant nervously by dangling a little smile.

Yuda mutters while eating his lunch. “Hopefully not because you were thinking of changing your answer this morning,” he said as he stared right at the eyeball of the woman who had just received her application this morning.

“Oh, no, Mas. If it is about that, I have believed my decision,” said Harum sure.

“Good then.”

“Mas, I can ask?” fragrant Lontar.

Yuda took a deep breath. What are you gonna ask me again, Rum? Please don't ask the hard ones. Don't ask me again how I feel about you.

“Bby, please,” said Yuda resigned.

“If in the hospital where Mas Yuda works, are all his patients cancer patients? Or are there patients with other diseases?” It was fragrant to think about the whereabouts of Hangga in the hospital.

Yuda laughed crisply. She thought Harum would ask about her feelings again. For Yuda, the question of how he felt about Harum was harder to answer than the hardest physics he had ever met in school.

“You're funny, Rum. It's called a cancer specialist hospital, so yes the patients are people who have cancer.”

Smelling stunned to hear Yuda's reply. Who has cancer? Did mommy? Or Father? Anxiety rippled in the heart Fragrant. Although the parents of Hangga are the ones who have caused the death of her parents, but the slightest bit of Harum does not hold a grudge. She was very worried about her former father-in-law.

The anxiety leads Harum to find out information about his former in-laws. The night after his work was over, Harum struggled with his cell phone. He who has closed the social media will now create a new account. The first thing he did was to search Nina—'s best friend's social media account.

When he left two years ago, Harum accidentally cut off communication with everyone, even with Nina, his best friend. He did not want his communication with Nina to cause any trace of her existence. At that time Harum really wanted to leave his page life and did not want to disturb the relationship of Hangga with Nata.

Fragrant Lips smiled as soon as they saw Nina's selfie photo. Harum really misses his best friend. In the photo, Nina is in the classroom. Harum is sure, Nina is attending an employee class lecture. Then his finger scrolls Nina's next post until he finds a photo of Nina with the employees of the tavern following the annual gathering. In several photos posted a week ago, Harum found a photo of Ms Mirna and Mr Hendra who also attended the event.

The existence of Bu Mirna and Mr. Hendra in the gathering made Harum draw the conclusion that it was not the two parents of Hangga who were being treated at the hospital.

If not Mom and Dad, then who is sick?

The fragrant inner asked worriedly.
