RUMI: The Love of a Paralyzed Man

COME BACK!

"Everything is, right? We're going straight home now, brother!" Take Vivian to Vita.

For almost a month Vivian has been in this city, and today she and Kak Vita and Archie are shopping for monthly necessities at a convenience store.

"I have an appointment to meet an old friend of mine in a bakery not far from here. Come along for a second, yuk!" Take Vita a little forcefully.

"Son Vita go alone then. Vivian and Archie let go home first" suggested Vivian who always rush home when she had to leave the house like this. Brother Vita and Brother Sandy are sometimes also surprised by Vivian's attitude.

"Mom! Archie wants to buy bread," whined Archie when he heard Kak Vita call bakery.

"Want to buy Mother Vita, yes! We go home first", Vivian insisted.

"No want! Archie wants to pick his own bread! Later Mommy does not know which Archie wants bread," whine Archie stubbornly.

It's like Rumi!

Ck!

Why would Vivian have to remember that guy again?

Move on, Vian!

"Udah come,Vi! Just go, really!" Invite Vita to force while pulling Vivian's arm.

"Why not be told to just play at home, anyway, sister?"

"Cio also over time Kak Vita stayed. How fussy would it be?"cecar Vivian reminded the brother-in-law.

"There is a father. His ASIP stock is still there, too" replied Kak Vita casually.

"If Mas Sandy is overwhelmed or Cio is fussy, it must have been a phone call since then" continued Vivian's sister-in-law.

"Where's the bakery?" Vivian asked as they had gotten out of the supermarket and were about to cross the street.

"That! Lily's bakery," Vita replied as she pointed towards Lily's Bakery which seemed to be a new branch.

Damnit damnit!

Why the cake shop?

What if Ruby or Rumi were in there?

"Vivian just wait outside, brother! Archie later choose the same bread Mother, yes!" Persuade Vita to the son.

"Why not come in?" Ask Brother Vita in wonder.

"Mmmm, scared shit, brother!" Vivian replied grimacingly.

"Ck! Just like a kid!" Brother Vita laughed crisply.

"That's my friend already inside. I'm in for a second, yeah!" Pamit Kak Vita opened the door of the cake shop. Vivian's sister-in-law also took Archie and brought him inside.

Vivian herself chose to sit in the long chair in front of the bakery while waiting for Kak Vita's business to be finished. Almost twenty minutes waited, and Vivian grew bored and thirsty.

"So the feeling of buying fruit juice from a supermarket," muttered Vivian while scraping the grocery bag next to her in search of packaged fruit juice that had been purchased by Archie.

Vivian was still focused on searching when a reprimand made Vivian's heart almost jump out of its sockets.

"Vian!"

Vivian looked up to hear the sound. The voice of the twin brother Rumi, who must be visiting this cake shop.

Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit!

"Vivian!" Ruby clasped both of Vivian's shoulders and suddenly immediately hugged Vivian without Vivian knowing what she meant.

What's the matter?

"Where have you been? Rumi's looking for you and the guy's almost crazy" Ruby scowled as she scanned Vivian from the end of her head.

"I-I'm sorry for running away from home at the time" Vivian said, stammering.

"I have no intention of running away or deceiving your family. But that time-"

"Both of your parents died and your son was sick," Ruby cut as if continuing Vivian's sentence.

Maybe it was Doctor Marcell who told Doctor Ethan and Ruby. Does that mean Rumi knows too?

"I'm so sorry, Vian!" Ruby said again as she grabbed Vivian's hand and rubbed it as a form of condolence. Vivian just nodded faintly.

"You're moving to this town now?" Ask Ruby next full search.

"D-no!" Reply Vivian stammered.

"I was just visiting relatives and I'm going home this afternoon" Vivian continued.

"Where do you live in the city? Can I stop by the house for a minute and meet Rumi? The man was so messed up after knowing the truth," Ruby asked.

"What truth?" Vivian asked pretending not to know.

"On the crime footage of Erick's brother. You were the one who sent the tape to Ethan's phone, right?" Guess Ruby.

"No!" The swift Vita.

"I don't know about Erick and his crime" Vivian's voice stuttered again and the girl stared at Ruby.

"Don't lie, Vian!" Sergey Ruby is firm.

"We all know that you're completely innocent, and you're clean" Ruby clasped Vivian's hand.

"Go back home and go back to Rumi" Ruby pleaded.

"Wouldn't Rumi be getting married to your family's chosen girl soon? Then what am I coming back for?" Vivian asked holding the pain in her heart.

Ruby suddenly widened her eyes with Vivian's statement just now.

"Who said that?" Ask Ruby full of questions.

"Mom Lily" replied Vivian.

"Mom Lily asked me to persuade Rumi to marry a girl named Miss Lily" Vivian told Ruby.

"Imust be!" Ruby muttered in disbelief. The woman had already quickly fiddled with the phone in her hand and contacted someone.

"Mommy!"

"What's up, Ruby?"

"Will Mami match Rumi up with a girl?" Ask Ruby to the point.

"Who does that mean? Mami has no intention to match Rumi with anyone. Mami will support any girl Rumi chooses, as long as your brother changes his mind and gets married." The light of Mami Lily that can be heard clearly by Vivian because Ruby did turn on the loudspeaker.

"But Vivian said, Mami once asked Vivian to persuade Rumi to marry the girl Mami chose," asked Ruby again to clarify everything.

"It's not like that! Mami asked Vivian to persuade Rumi to want to get married, but with any stupidity that became the pillar of Rumi and no match-making events. Even if the girl is Vivian, Mami really doesn't mind and will definitely give her blessing! Vivian's a good girl."

"By the way, did you just meet Vivian?"

"Yes! Ruby just persuaded him to go home and meet Rumi," replied Ruby as she looked at Vivian who was silent and did not say a word.

"Mommy can talk to him?"

"Speak it, Mi! Vivian listened because Ruby turned on the loud-" Ruby had not finished her sentence as the voice of a little boy who had just walked out of the store distracted Ruby.

"Mom, look! Archie bought a bear-shaped bun!"

Ruby turned to look at the boy named Archie and the woman was immediately stunned when she saw Archie's face that looked more like a photocopian Rumi.

Whahuh?
