Post-divorce
Part 7's
"What's Amanda's next plan for your life and your son's? What can you help with?" Kak Janu asked after hearing all the sad stories I experienced.
"After my son's condition stabilized, I planned to go to college and make a business, only I was confused what to do ...."
"How about you join Sister settled in Australia? Continue your child's education and treatment there."
"I'm a widow with one child, what would people say if we were seen with Sis? There must be a lot of negative assumptions towards us, ckk." Kak Janu's proposal immediately I refuse, I do not want with my current status to be a gossip material.
"What makes it hard is that you're Amanda, there's no prohibition against a single man marrying a widow?" I was wide-eyed by Kak Janu's words, the ease with which he said marriage, I widened my eyes as a sign of protest at his words
"I'm sorry if I said it at a time when your condition was like this, when your son was struggling on the operating table, just so you know I'm not the kind of convoluted guy Amanda is, consider our marriage if you agree to come with me to Australia, knit your happiness and forget your sorrow, think of it! brother is serious with brother's speech." I just kept quiet, it was all too sudden for me, the previous marriage was traumatizing. And that trauma takes time to heal, I don't want failure a second time and the priority right now is health and happiness for Atma, not one bit terbesit in the near future I give a new papa to Atma.
"Sister will visit your son later, at this time you must hurry to leave" he continued
"Alright I understand that brother is one of the busiest people right now." Janu's sister smiled, we ended the chat, exchanged phone numbers and gave my address to him, Janu's sister left, I still sat down to finish the food I had ordered before.
I saw Mas Rama approaching towards my place, he squinted with a cynical look and was so cold, a gaze that was hard to interpret ....
"How many men did you snare his heart with your sweet demeanor?"
"What do you mean Rama? I don't understand."
"Even my mother fell in love with your tenderness."
"Please speak clearly don't go around in circles, I don't understand at all what you mean"
"I don't think it's necessary to explain the meaning of these words, you should have understood them! Don't pretend to be a good woman, but the opposite is true!" His words were so sharp that they pierced the heart.
"Whatever, you're free to think anything of me, even if I'm a widow doesn't mean I'm a teaser of a man's heart and even a mother's heart, your mind is too narrow, excuse me." I also stopped my eating activities at this time, and passed from the presence of Mas Rama which I felt very strange, we had just met but his attitude was like knowing all about Me. Is it possible that he heard Kak Janu's words about marriage? But what he cares about, he's nothing to me.
I set this foot to the waiting room for the operation, there was Ummik and Gita was sitting restlessly waiting for Atma surgery which had taken approximately four hours, I also sat beside Ummik, I was sitting, we all prayed in silence, tears were not seen between us, all were strong in the face of the current conditions. A few minutes later I saw Atma on top of the gurney falling asleep from the operating room, she was taken to the observation room to monitor her condition, Abi was out of the room ....
"How is Atma, Abi?" Much
"Thank God our prayers are answered, the operation is successful, as well as the observation of his condition after the surgery is still recovering" I, Ummik and Gita give thanks and embrace neutralizing all the worries in each of us, respectively, it was a relief to hear Abi's explanation of Atma's condition.
During the observation, Atma's health development was declared good, then Atma was transferred to the hospital room, I kissed Atma's cheek and rubbed her head. Me, Ummik, Abi and Gita are in the ward right now.
"Thank you baby, I have endured all the pain to be able to gather with Mama again" I said to my son who was still asleep.
"If Atma has been allowed to go home, I will sleep with Atma in her room" said Gita who looks happy
"Atma's condition is very stable, he only needs enough rest later for three months he is not allowed to feel tired so that his heart performance is not heavy" said Abi
"Thank you Abi, Abi has helped Atma through the most difficult time, Amanda felt calm Abi beside Atma during the operation and joined the team of doctors who operated on Atma."
"Nrank ...." Ummik stopped, like doubting something
"Yes mik, there seems to be something Ummik wants to say, just say it."
"Who was the man you were with in the canteen?" I was shocked by Ummik's question, because all I know is Ummik with Gita in the waiting room for the operation when.
"Hmm that ..kak Janu, Amanda just met him earlier, he was a friend and sister for Amanda while in the home before Ummik adopted Amanda, did ummik see me with him?"
"Bu Ratri called Ummik son, asked the man you were with, maybe he saw you, he seemed to want to make you a son-in-law for him." Ummik said while chuckling, Abi was smiling, and Gita was smiling ignorantly by raising both eyebrows, they were like a compact mocked me.
"Mas Rama is very thin Ummik against Amanda, besides there are still many girls who are more interesting than Amanda, already do not discuss!"
"Ummik thought too far about it."
"Amanda, as long as you know before you married Denis, we intend to match you with Rama" said Abi who again made me jerk in shock.
"But when you want the application process to be done in a week, you've already brought Denis and introduced us as the prospective husband you choose." Ummik told me the real story before my marriage to Denis took place.
"Wah means brother Rama late dong ya Ummik, if faster I prefer it than Denis" said Gita
Saying Umik remember I was in the hospital, Mas Rama's expression and his words to me is it because of the events in the past?
****
Today Atma was allowed to go home after three days of treatment, her condition is stable at the moment, I am grateful and very happy. I packed the items to take home, while carrying the Atma who was currently crying.
"Let me carry." Someone's voice distracts me from Atma, I see he has been standing in this room.
"No need, it will also calm down." but he still took Atma from my sling, no matter what I said, it was annoying ....
"This is a deposit from mother." she gave me a parcel of fruit, then she cradled Atma until Atma looked comfortable carrying it, she said, seeing Atma with him reminds me of my father and my ex-husband, had Mas Denis been able to accept the existence of Atma certainly at this time he would have cradled Atma in his arms as Mas Rama now does, without feeling these tears dripping round after rounders soaked my cheeks.
"When did you finish crying? And when will the packing be finished if you just cry?" His voice resuscitated Me, a speech that still sounded annoying, seeing Me cry instead of giving calm instead of reprimanding me, ehh what I think about him, where maybe he was kind to me, his words just ketus.
"I'm confused as to why Atma is comfortable in your arms, when you're such a bitch and so sniffy like this." I looked into his eyes as I said that, his words on the pocket that time still pissed me off.
"I'm sorry about what I said at the time."
"Hmm."
"Can we be friends?"
"Huhuh?"
"I wanted to be friends just to be close to your son, I somehow fell in love with him."
"On his son or his mother, Rama?" Ms. Ratri and Ummik appeared on the doorstep, Ummik smiled at Ms. Ratri's words, while I felt ashamed. To relieve the embarrassment, I approached Ms. Ratri and Ummik and kissed the back of their hands.
"If the mother's child is fighting don't listen to Amanda!"
"Not the dreadlocks Bu, even ketus on Amanda so do not worry" mas Rama looks relaxed by still fondling Atma, his expression is flat.
"Well, you've gathered" Abi entered this room, and I saw Abi carrying a fairly thick brown map.
"Amanda packed up yet?" Ask Umik
"It's mik" I replied briefly
"Abi and Ummik decided to complete your medical education in Bandung, we let you stay with Ms. Ratri there and we let Atma come with you and there's no rejection because this is for your future and Atma's sake, this map is all data about you, Rama who will take care of all this decision Abi and Ummik" said Abi, he also handed the envelope to Rama.
"You will definitely stay at home in Bandung Amanda, I happen to be focusing on developing a boutique there"
"After completing your studies, you will stay with us again son, this is for your good, and only Ms. Ratri we trust looks after you and Atma" I just nodded resignedly.
If Abi had made such a decision I could not refuse him, all this time I have troubled Abi and Ummik, by obeying their wishes one of the ways I did to repay his kindness, and as Abi and Ummik say this is all for the good of Me and Atma. By leaving this city I can forget my sorrow and my heart and find happiness with my son Atma. But what about Janu's offer? And will I be at home with Rama?
