Bayu was surprised to be pleased after hearing the sentence uttered by the soto puncher.
"Sorry sir, means you know Retno's mother.?"
"He knows her, Mas. Our house is five houses apart. Retno's mother is nice and likes young children. Same my son he is happy bamget," replied Mr. Samad.
"Yes sir, we accidentally met on the train from Surabaya yesterday. Maybe he didn't know when his identity card fell."
"You're being tipped over to me, Mom? Let Mas not be hard to return it," said Mr. Samad.
"Emm how yes, actually I also want to return it myself, because my work is still a lot, it's okay if indeed Mr. Samad wants to help restore this same Miss Retno," replied Bayu with a bit of confusion.
"Oh yes, I would definitely. What a hard thing to stay given the same Miss Retno."
"Yes already if so I nitip this same Father, yes. Greetings to Miss Retno from Bayu who met on the train."
"Ready Mas.!"
Bayu is relieved that this identity card will return to its owner. Now he and Windy continue to eat the soto he ordered.
He looked at Windy who was busy eating soto in front of him. Bayu recalled back to Dini who he used to eat with at a roadside stall.
Windy did not realize that Bayu was watching him. Instantly Bayu immediately shifted his gaze when he realized that his attitude would clearly cause misunderstanding.
Lunch this time brings its own impression for Bayu. Besides this time he had lunch outside the office, he also found a bright spot about the identity card of Bu Retno's.
"This Bayu Mas is original Surabaya,?" asked Mr. Samad suddenly joined the roost at the table Bayu and Windy.
"Yes Sir. I'm native Surabaya."
"May, you join here. Mumpung is still quiet, luamaya can rest."
"Oh please Sir. We just relax and talk," said Windy.
"Bu Retno was a widow a long time ago. Her son now lives with her husband in Malaysia. Indeed materially, Miss Retno is not lacking, but if her friend is very lonely. So he picked up another child to accompany him. It used to be a difficult person, since his only child was married to a businessman from Malaysia, the economy of Bu Retno so lifted," explained Mr. Samad.
"Oh pantesan he likes very much the little boy. When I met him on the train he said that he had finished looking at his friend's son who had just given birth. She told me the same length if she likes little kids."
"Surely, I knew Ms. Retno for a long time. He also has friends who are considered like his own family, living in Surabaya. Maybe what Mas Bayu told me about his friend was the same person" replied Mr. Samad.
"Maybe sir, too" said Bayu.
"If not mistakenly named Bu Retno's friend Mr. Arman."
"Oh yes sir, I remember. His name is Mr. Arman." replied Bayu.
"Sir Arman was also often to the house of Bu Retno with his wife. Only dear I do not know very well, yes from Bu Retno himself who told the same story my wife."
"After Sir, Mr. Samad was able to mention the name of Mr. Arman. You know what his full name is, huh,?" ask Bayu.
"Well, if that's what I don't know, ma'am."
"Oh yes, sir."
After about five minutes of chatting, Bayu and Windy finally returned to the office because the lunch hour was running out.
***
In the afternoon after work, Bayu immediately entered the room to change clothes and shower and pray. After everything was done, he sat in front of his laptop.
Slowly he opened his lapotope to look for the wrong file he needed. His hands nimble holding the mouse scroll up the scroll down to search for the data.
Shortly after, his phone rang.
Triying..triiing...! Bayu immediately stood up to take his cellphone on his bed.
He slowly opened his phone and saw who sent the message. It turned out from his showroom employees in Surabaya. Juno's..
"Good afternoon Mr. Bayu, I want to tell you that Ms. Aulia yesterday the day after afternoon looking for Mr. to the showroom. But, unfortunately Mr. Bayu hunted home. He said he wanted to give something. Continued this earlier I got word from Gio that Pak Fatih her husband Ma'ak Aulia yesterday was dead."
Bayu was stunned to see the contents of the message from Juno just now. He did not expect Fatih to leave so soon. The age of his marriage with Aulia had only run one week. His body trembled slightly because he did not believe it.
Slowly he sat down on the edge of his bed and fell silent. His face was covered with both palms after which he took a deep breath.
Then he had his eyes fixed on his bangs back and tried to reply to the contents of the message Juno had sent.
"*Yes Juno, thank you for letting me know. Next time if Ma'am Aulia goes to the showroom again please ask for her number. I sent a message but couldn't."
"Yes sir, he said that the number was blocked and he changed the new number. The contacts on his phone are all gone."
"Okay, thanks again, okay.?"
"Yes sir equally*."
Bayu immediately dropped his body backwards. Now he is stretched out while his hands are stretched out to the side. His eyes were unceasingly staring at the ceiling of the room.
"Aulia, you are indeed a great woman" he murmured.
