Ride in Bed

Make the Goddess Smile

“Ibuuu.”.

Roxas walks into Nenden's treatment room and hugs the woman. After training, the man went straight to the hospital to visit the woman who was considered his own mother. Behind him tailed Pipit. The woman immediately approached Adrian who was sitting next to the bed.

“How are you doing, Xas?”

“Alhamdulillah good. Mom how?”

“Good.”

Although Nenden's mouth says fine, Roxas knows that his condition is not okay. The young man climbed onto the bed, then laid himself beside Nenden. Karuan Pipit was surprised to see it. He asked Roxas to get down from there.

“You did it there. Down!”

“Do not disturb my pleasure, bu.”

“Ngga. He really likes it like this,” said Nenden.

“Bu.. that's bu Pipit often pissed me, ma'am. Aja marahin, jewer ears too,” shoot Roxas.

“Kang. Basic bocil.”

Adrian can only smile at the quarrel between Pipit and Roxas. Similarly to Nenden, the presence of the two people could comfort him a little. Nenden looked at the pretty face of Pipit.

“If mom Pipits her boss Roxas?”

“Do not call mom. I am young and cute, hehehe.”

“Narcissistic people,” Adrian said slowly but can still be heard by Pipit. A jewel landed in the man's ear. Only Nenden was surprised to see it.

“He's my durhakim nephew bu,” obviously Pipit who saw Nenden's shock.

“Oh turns out to be his aunt Rian. But still young ya.”

“Iya, mom. I am the same he was three years different. Don't know how my tetiba can be in my mother's stomach, hahaha.”.

The atmosphere became slightly melted when Roxas and Pipit came. A smile could not be separated from Nenden's face, hearing Roxas' absurd chatter that was always clashing with Pipit. They are like lenong players who put each other down, making Nenden and Adrian entertained.

“You said choose so what?” ask Nenden.

“Brand ambassador, bu.”

“Wah already fluently speaking English,” chirps Adrian.

“Forced bang. Noh his teacher is so fierce. My red butterflies drawn mulu with him if wrong talking.”

“Hahahaha.”

Not only Adrian, but Nenden also laughed to hear it. While the master who became the topic of conversation only responded casually.

“You will soon be famous dong,” said Nenden.

“Aamiin. doain aja bu.”

“If it is famous, do not forget the Goddess, yes. Don't stay with him. You are his best friend. If she is sad, you should always comfort her.”

“Dong sure bu. After Enin, the same mother Goddess was very valuable people to me. That's why you also have to stay healthy to see me become a successful person. So later I can get to know everyone that mom is my mom.”

Roxas hugged Nenden. As much as possible the man got rid of the strange feeling that ambushed him when Nenden entrusted the Goddess to him. At a glance Pipit could see the sadness in the young man's eyes.

Aditya and Dewi who just finished eating, immediately headed for Nenden's treatment room. The Goddess was surprised to see Roxas already coming along with Pipit. Especially when entering, his eyes immediately saw Pipit who was standing behind Adrian who was sitting and put his hand to the neck of the nephew.

“Oii sad from where?” reprimand Pipits.

“Abis eat, tan.”

“Tan?” The goddess looked towards Aditya.

“De.. knowsin, this is my aunt, aunt Pipit.”

Dewi became embarrassed himself already feel jealous of the woman who turned out to be the aunt of Adrian and Aditya. The girl reached out her hand at Pipit while saying her name.

“Oh so this is your girlfriend. Pantesan love dead, beautiful like this,” goda Pipit.

“Tante can aja.”

“You know, Wi. The sad to love to die with you. When you sleep, just say your name.”

“Hahaha. anyjay slander tuh,” Aditya chuckled.

“Emang Adit when sleeping snoring yes, tan?”

“Hooh.sample to aunt's room. Just aja, from my room to Adit's room to the room Ad. Kebayang kencengnya tuh ngoroknya voice.”

“Basic aunt,” rutuk Aditya, but no doubt the young man laughed.

Adrian's smile expands to see the face of the Goddess who can laugh. It seemed like he had to thank the aunt who had brought joy to the girl he loved. Dewi looks at Adrian at a glance, then turns his eyes on Roxas who is still a henchman on the bed Nenden.

“Rox... get off lo! Why there. Not body conscious, lo. Nyokap I can not sleep,” Dewi hit Roxas's ass tight.

“Adaw!! Pain, Wi.”

Roxas got off the bed holding his butt that was hit by the Goddess. Then the young man sat down at the end of the bed. Adrian stood up and gave his chair to the Goddess. He walked up to Aditya, then grabbed his sister's shoulder.

“You're here again?”

“Iya, bang. Say to mama ya.”

“Iya. Tomorrow you don't forget the lecture, Wi,” Adrian look at the Goddess.

“Iya, bang.”

“Mother.. I go home first.”

“Yes, son Rian. Be careful on the road.”

“Tante want to come with me?”

“You go straight home?”

“I want to stop by the office first.”

“Udah there first. Easy later I can be delivered Adit or Roxas.”

Adrian just nodded his head. The man glimpsed at the Goddess, then walked out of the room. After Adrian passed, Dewi woke up from her seat, allowing Pipit to sit, while she moved to bed Nenden. Roxas was still sitting at the end of the bed massaging Nenden's legs.

“Let's hotel year when is Rox?” ask Goddess.

“Saturday's.”

“Lo get on stage dong.”

“Huum.. The Soul will also be performing there.”

“Well on the cafe how?”

“Udah permission, we appear so Friday the same Sunday,” timpal Aditya.

“You brought your own song not?” tanya Pipit's.

“Iya, aunt. We plan to bring five songs. Two songs by yourself,”

“Good yet, only time there is a music producer watching, hehehe.”

“Mommy wants to go home now? I'm anterin, keep going back to the hotel. I promise it's only two hours away.”

“Ayo.”

After putting on his helmet, Pipit climbed to the back of Roxas. The young man immediately ran his vehicle. The distance from the hospital to Adrian's house takes thirty to forty minutes. At medium speed he runs the hejo.

After ten minutes of walking, the hejo began to act. Roxas' favorite ride broke down in the middle of the road. Again Roxas forgot to feed the hejo. Unfortunately the motor stopped on a road that was quite quiet and far from the gas station.

“Why Xas?”

“Cause mom, out of gas, hehehe.”

Maneh mah. turn teu ordered strike when strike. Where deserted deui. Ngagawean urang kieu. Pan urang kudu. Hejo. hejo. (lo mah, the turn is not told to strike. Where deserted. I know how to. You have to push).

“Poom gasoline pretty far yes,” said Pipit.

“Iya, mom. Five hundred meters is.”

Pipit remove the helmet, then put it on the handlebar of the motor. Roxas stood beside the hejo and prepared to push. Pipit looked to the right and left, the atmosphere of the road was indeed quiet, no angkot passing by. Then there was the sound of a motor horn coming from behind.

“Ojeg bu?” hire the man who is wearing the motorbike.

“Bby, sir. Xas..”

“Iya, mom. Nothing at all.”

Pipit immediately climbed to the back of the ojeg and the vehicle immediately moved forward. Roxas just looked at the increasingly distant Pipit. It is his fate if the strike will be left by the person he brought. Yulita, now Pipit.

After taking a deep breath to fill his lung cavity, Roxas started pushing his motor. The road he passed was indeed quite quiet, only one or two vehicles passed through it. The young man kept pushing his favorite bike.

From the opposite direction, a light beam approached him. It turned out to be the motor that had brought Pipit. Slowly the motor approached and stopped in front of Roxas. The young man gawked at Pipit coming down with a bottle of gasoline. After paying the ojeg fee, the woman approached Roxas.

“Nih.” Pipit thrust a bottle in his hand.

“Eh my side, mom home.”

“How can I leave you alone. Where deserted again. If there is anything with you, later I will also be sprayed Mr. Mahes.”

“Hehehe.. thanks, bu.”.

Roxas opened his motorcycle seat and started feeding the hejo. Several times the young man tried to restart the engine. Shortly thereafter, the engine sounded. He gave the helmet to Pipit to wear back. Afterwards the woman immediately climbed to the back of Roxas.

The next trip is only taken within fifteen minutes, because Roxas is quite speeding for the sake of chasing time. Hejo stops right in front of Toni's residence. Pipit down from the bike, unlock the helmet then give it to Roxas.

“You go straight home to hotel.”

“Iya, bu.”

“Tomorrow don't forget to practice English again.”

“Siap. But about tomorrow I can go to the hospital again, no ma'am?”

“Besok I talked to pak Mahes.”

“Still yes, bu.”

Pipit nodded his head. Roxas restarted the engine and soon left Toni's seemingly deserted residence. After Roxas was unseen, Pipit rushed into the house. Adrian's vehicle is not there yet, the sign that his nephew has not returned home.

Aditya pushes Nenden's wheelchair out of the chemotherapy. The woman asked Aditya to take her to a nearby park. He wanted to breathe air outside the hospital. Trying to reduce the nausea that is running it. Aditya locked the wheel of the chair then sat himself on the bench that was there.

There is no conversation between the two. Aditya lets Nenden enjoy the cool afternoon air. Dewi still has not returned from campus, today the lecture schedule is crowded, until the afternoon. He is on a work holiday. Nenden turned his head to Aditya who was sitting not far from him.

“Dit.”

“Iya, bu.”

“Thank you, you always accompany Dewi.”

“Sama-sama, ma. I don't have to worry.”

“Do you love Goddess?”

“Iya, bu.”

Nenden smiled at Aditya's timid reply. She felt so grateful that her only daughter was loved by two really nice men. Both Adrian and Aditya both have the ideal criteria to be a companion to their children. He only entrusted himself to God, who would be the soul mate of his son.

“Mother asks, you do not leave the Goddess, yes. You can always make her laugh and smile.”

“In Shaa Allah, bu.”

“Mother titip Dewi, if mother can not stay longer.”

Aditya immediately got up from his seat, then approached Nenden's wheelchair. The young man crouched down in front of Nenden, holding both hands of the woman. Somehow he felt that Nenden's words just now were like a bad omen to him.

“Mother don't say that. You must be strong, you must stay healthy for the Goddess. Goddess still needs mom.”

“If you can be honest. mom is not strong.”

Nenden's tears fell apart after saying that. He felt his body condition getting weaker and weaker by the day. The medicine also had no effect on his body. The pain often gnaws at her, and sometimes the woman cries silently to endure the pain.

“Every night, mom dreams of being visited by dad. Dad took mom away.”

“Mother..”

Aditya was unable to hold back his tears. If Nenden really left this world, I don't know what would happen to the Goddess. She'll be an orphan girl and a kara. Nenden's hand moved rubbing Aditya's head.

“Please keep the Goddess smiling. Even if she cries and is sad, do not let her linger in her grief. I'm asking you for help, Dit.”

Only a nod of the head can be given by Aditya. The young man still continued to cry while holding both hands of Nenden. Slowly the clouds began to cover the sun which was still emitting its rays, making the atmosphere slightly dim. It was as if the universe was saddened by what happened to the two people.

The excitement was already felt in the ballroom of Amarta hotel. Half an hour ago, the hotel's birthday party had already started. Guests began to fill the venue. Footage of the hotel's newly established five-story trip was then played through a white screen that was plastered in front of the stage.

After the film's viewing ended, Mahes took to the stage to give his remarks. The handsome man wearing a black tuxedo climbed up the pulpit confidently. Prayoga smiled proudly to see his son-in-law standing up there.

“Goodnight everyone.”

“Goodnight.”

“It is an honor for me to stand here in celebration of the fifth anniversary of the Amarta hotel. There's not much I'm going to say. Just a thank you to all employees, both permanent and contract who have worked hard to make this hotel the best five-star hotel for the past five years. And now we again have to work hard, to make Amarta hotel as the best six-star hotel in Indonesia!”

A thunderous applause welcomed Prayoga's son-in-law's speech. Indira smiled a faint smile, seeing how excited her husband was to give his welcome tonight. Only her three older siblings did not look enthusiastic. They still think that Mahes is still not suitable to manage this hotel.

“And to enhance the image of the hotel, then let us introduce our brand ambassadors, Roxas and Amanda!!”

A couple of men and women came up on stage. The floodlight directly leads to both. Roxas looks handsome in a black tuxedo, and Amanda looks beautiful wearing a long gold dress. The two waved their hands at the invited guests.

Amanda's melodious voice was heard when the girl explained about Amarta hotel using English. When he finished, Roxas continued, saying the same thing only that the young man was speaking Sundanese.

After the two are done with their duties, Mahes joins them. Then together press the button on the stage. Slowly the white screen moved down and displayed the new logo of Amarta hotel. The atmosphere was getting lively when the fireworks around the stage lit up which was then followed by the applause of the audience.

After the logo and brand ambassador introduction event, guests are welcome to enjoy the dishes available. They are also entertained by performers who have been selected by the event committee. There is traditional dance, modern dance and also music. The Soul was lined up as one of the performers, accompanying other capital artists who were also asked to fill the show.

Mila, Sandra, Sheila, Micky, Bobi and Budi who were also invited to attend the event cheered happily as The Soul performed on stage. Only the Goddess was not present there because she was waiting for her mother in the hospital. Pipit who was at one table with Yulita looked towards the stage. The woman was proud to see her niece perform entertaining renditions of her own creation. Then his gaze turned to Roxas who was so good at playing his bass.

🌸🌸🌸

The excitement in the hotel ballroom is inversely proportional to the situation in the hospital. Several sisters ran to Nenden's treatment room. A doctor climbs onto Nenden's bed, trying to make the woman's heart beat again. Half an hour ago, Nenden's condition worsened, one by one his vitals began to decline.

Adrian who got a call from Dewi immediately headed to the hospital as soon as he heard the news about Nenden. While running, the man headed for the treatment room. Bed Nenden was surrounded by nurses and doctors who were helping the woman survive. Then his gaze was fixed on the Goddess who stood not far from there with tears in her eyes.

“Mother. mother...”
