Rita(The Adventure of the Conglomerate Grandchild)

chapter 2: Mom Ratna

That afternoon, Soegiarto, Rita's father received a guest at his house. Her guest named Ratna, Rita's ex-wife and mother who came to visit Rita.

“To, I came to pick up Rita, it's been 8 years I parted with her, I want to babysit her.” Said Ratna without further ado after being invited to sit down.

“Ratna, we have agreed, you take care of Andi, I am Rita, is that not a fair verdict?”

“Andi and Rita are our children, Andi I have sent to Australia, I want to be close to my daughter, is that wrong? Rita is 16 years old, I want to be close to my teenage son.”

“Again if with me his needs will be more guaranteed, compared here, in this small village. You served 5 years here, it would be nice for Rita I just foster so as not to be a burden for you,” added Ratna again.

“ Andi is your son from Eka, while Rita is my son, she is not a burden but my duty, it is fitting that she live with Me, her father!” said Soegiarto with a high tone.

“For that To, you have got 8 years of nurturing it, give me the chance to know my daughter, please,” please Ratna with teary eyes

Soegiarto fell silent, he looked at his ex-wife's face with pity. His mind wandered to remember their time together.

“To! Why bengong? What are you thinking? ask Ratna

“ Ratna,..Rita it..Rita it..”, said Soegiarto stuttered.

“Aduh To,..You haven't changed, you're still stuttering when you say, never done. Confused me if talking to you, like following the quiz.nebak-nawak, ni people want to say what,” said Ratna annoyed

“Not so Ratna, though,..Rita..how do ya explain it?” soegiarto

“What's wrong with my rhythm? ask Ratna curiously

“When we parted, I separated him from you, it seems he was very sad and hurt. He became quiet. But when he felt disturbed, his aggressive nature emerged, explained Soegiarto

“Aggressive nature how do you mean? Biting off? Hit yourself? ask Ratna

“Hmm..may be like that. I once forced her to eat after her from your house. Suddenly he became riled up, I hit my face many times, my hand bitten”, said Soegiarto while showing his scar.

“That's your wits, so I don't bring Rita. How Rita can be like that while we parted well.”ucap Ratna

“You do not know Ratna, your papa bodyguard beat me in front of Rita, so that I part with you, it seems that the incident triggered his aggressive nature.”Sugiarto revealed

“Hah!!, You are outrageous, you who claimed to have another woman, and chose her over me, instead you blamed my papa!”Ratna was angry

“On your father's orders, your father's bodyguards beat me and threatened to wipe out all my family if I didn't let you go. It seems Rita saw the incident.He felt guilty for not being able to do anything to help me. I've taken him to a psychiatrist, his doctor said, his aggressive nature will appear if he feels himself depressed and in danger.” explained Soegiarto

“Maybe back then he was so sad and helpless, that he was angry with himself. You don't say as if Rita's a freak”. Ratna said

“When he was in the 2nd grade of Junior High, there was a boy who bit him. I don't know what Rita did, the boy was beaten until his hand was broken. I have to make peace with the parents of the child by financing his treatment, explained Soegiarto.

“Did you teach him martial arts?” ask Ratna

“Your father included him in the taekwondo society, because at that time your father was afraid Rita was kidnapped by your father's enemies.”

“But at the time, Rita was still 5 years old, still a yellow tire. After he is with you, does he continue taekwondonya? Ask Ratna

“Yes, now that he has a black belt, he became an assistant coach at his school.” Soegiarto

“Then what do you do to control his aggressive nature? Ask Ratna

“I dare not force him, or tease him.If I have to forbid me to do it in a soft voice, I fear if he feels disturbed his destructive nature appears”.

“I will take care of him, I will take a trip abroad to pleasant places so that he forgets the bad events between you and me!” ratna

 “Beginning with Ratna, I won't stop you from approaching Rita, but we're only 1 month here, Rita has also just adapted to her school environment. I'll send Rita to visit you on her school holidays. Rita can stay with you for 2 weeks,”

“Alright, I will be patient waiting for him for another 5 months, but you must keep your promise to stay with me during the school holidays later!”

“I promise!, oiya I have to go to RSUD now, you want to wait for Rita to come home? He was participating in PMR activities for 2 days, today he should have gone home”

Ratna walked out of the house to her car, followed by Soegiarto behind her.

Bidding farewell he handed a large enough box to Soegiarto.

 “This is my gift to Rita, tell her I've been to here”

“Thank you for the gift, I will say, be careful on Jalan”, Soegiarto said as he looked at the red Audi that was walking away from him, then he walked back into his house.

Shortly after that Rita arrived home, before she saw a red Audi car away from her home, while entering the yard she passed her father.

“Eh,Dad, already want to go?” ask Rita

“Eh Rita, have you come?, I'm in a hurry to go to RSUD, there is an important meeting this afternoon, maybe it will be until night, you dare not be left alone? I've cooked your favorite soups and cakes. Oh yes there is a parcel from your mama, he had come, said Soegiarto as he passed.

 “Be careful Dad” said Rita, her heart was so happy to get a gift but also sad because it did not have time to meet her mother who had been separated for a long time.

Slowly opened the parcel in the form of a large box with red ribbons, inside there is a pink dress size M, which is simple but elegant, then an Ipod, Ipad and I phone latest series. Inside the parcel was a piece of paper from Ratna, Rita read it, smiling.

“Assalammu’alaikum Ritaku beautiful, this parcel mama gave to you as a gift of your birthday that for 8 years we did not meet. In this iPhone there is a number mama, if you have received, phone mom yes dear, dear,..I love you so much and missed you.call me A.S.A.P. Wassalammu’alaikum, Mama Ratna

“Alhamdulillaahhh..asyikk I got I phone, Ipod, Ipad and do not I paid,.hihiiii.tawa Rita while jumping for joy .

Rita put the Iphonenya, then went to take a shower and put dirty clothes into the washing machine that has a hole in the middle. To start the washing machine, Rita had to turn off all electronic devices because the amount of watts for her washing machine was large enough. While waiting for her clothes to be washed, Rita opened the Ipad and set it up. An hour passed by Rita who was asleep, awake to the alarm sound of her washing machine, she rushed to the washing machine and lifted all the clothes and dried them.

Rita's father's house is quite large. There are 2 large rooms, living room, kitchen and back of the house, for laundry room. Rita and her father had no domestic assistants. All their household work is done alone, but assisted by electronic tools that are quite sophisticated. Rita asked her father to bring all the equipment to her service home. Rita's hobby is washing and cleaning the house. While wearing a song on her ipod, Rita ironed her papa clothes, ironing them with steam irons, so she did not have to bother folding them. While the clothes of the house are quite folded. Because the washing machine he has advanced to make the clothes he washed not scuffed. After that he took a vacuum cleaner and cleaned the entire room in his house. His body was tired from just coming home from the camp, but he also could not sleep because he was too happy to receive a gift from his mother.

Time shows at 8 pm, Rita doing Vcall with her mother.

“Assalammu’alaikum,.sapa Rita called

“Wa’alaikummussalam,..Rita?? How are you doing, dear?” ask Ratna

“Mama?..Rita kangennn,.. kog mama did not wait for Rita?? Rita comes fitting mama's car go”ucap Rita while slightly sobbing, her longing for her mother all this time like spilled.

“Sorry baby, your dad said you came home tonight, mama can't wait for you long, oiya Dad already told me ?” ask Ratna

“ What story ma? Dad has not come home, maybe 1 hour ago Dad said there is important business in RSUD so a little long there,”

“begini Darling, later on your school holiday nginep at home mommy huh? It's not quite 3 weeks, we can shopping, to the salon together.how dear?? ask Ratna

“Bby dong sayanggg,.anytime, but it is better this hour so that the network is good.” Ratna said

Rita laid her body on the bed, finally understanding why her mother had not seen her for 8 years. It turns out that her mother promised to handle her grandfather's business and married a man of her choice so that Rita could stay with her father. Her mother is afraid her grandfather will hurt Rita or her new husband hurt Rita.
