Scratches of Past Wounds

Clubbing

A week had passed after the meeting of Aya and Rania. The light was busy as usual. Since waking up at four in the morning until sleeping again at ten in the evening. Make different types of wet cakes and cakes.

Likewise, Rania began to be busy helping her husband who had just pioneered the business after their move from Kalimantan. But today Rania was forced to take the time to visit her aunt's house, Ratih's mother. From yesterday the seventy-year-old woman kept asking to meet.

This is where Rania is now. In the house where he was raised by his mother's older brother who was none other than Ratih's mother since both his parents died. The aunt whom she called Ibuk, was the same as the daughter of Ratih's mother .

" How are you, Nia ? Does he want to be Ibuk's mother-in-law ? " Todong Ratih's Mother.

" Oh Buk, Nia has not sat down, has not been given a drink and has not been asked. But Ibuk is Aya. Sadly... " Rania pura merajuk mau.

" Ibuk know you are fine, and if you want to drink or eat you can take it yourself later. Now you answer Ibuk's question. " Hearing the words of Ratih Rania's mother also increasingly scowled .

" Yes.yeah. " Rania took a breath for a moment. " It's gonna be hard, Buk. Brother Doni who failed to come out of his past with all his behavior now. While Aya with trauma due to experiencing kdrt for many years. If they are united, can it go well, Buk ? " Rania expressed her concern.

While Ratih's mother looks disappointed look on the face that is old enough. " But instead Ibuk hopes they can treat each other later, Nia. " Kekeh Ratih's Mother.

" Nia's hope is so, too, Buk. But it must be very difficult. They just need special attention, Buk. Especially Aya, her life story is really tragic, Nia is afraid Kak Doni even aggravated her condition later. " The two women of different ages were silent for a while. They are soluble in each other's thoughts. Until Ibu Ratih spoke.

" We'll try, Nia. Who knows, they will fight and strengthen each other later. The rest we leave to God. What do you think. " Ratih's mom looks so excited. And Rania was afraid of ruining the enthusiasm of this very meritorious person in her life.

With a heavy sigh, Rania was forced to nod her head while saying ... " Will Try, Buk. But ... if they match and continue they fail to unite, this heart will be at very bad risk, Buk. Either Aya or Kak Doni will certainly be more damaged later. Nia loves them both, Buk. "

" May they be a match, and in the course of their journey we will help them. Don't worry too much, Nia. There is more power to turn back the hearts of men, if you forget. " Say Ibu Ratih enthusiastically.

" Hhmm .. well my dear mother. For the Light let Nia speak, Brother Doni is Ibuk's business. Nia wants to grab a drink first. " Rania said as she got up from her seat.

*****

As usual, Doni drove to the Club the night after a meeting with a client . Tired of working until night appears to make him want to refresh for a moment. Moreover, his friends were already waiting at the usual place they gathered.

Upon entering the large, low-light room full of frenzy, Doni immediately stepped towards the second floor. A place where only for thick wallets. There are several VVIP-class rooms with luxurious facilities and services.

The arrival of Doni was greeted by his friends with a male greeting. But the man's meeting was interrupted by a soft voice from the direction of the toilet.

" You come Don, I've been waiting for you. " Say a beautiful woman, fashionable like a model.

" Rinda. " Doni immediately received a warm embrace of the woman named Marinda. Without shame they also clutched their lips with greed.

Doni's friends are used to the scene. Marinda is a boutique owner and beauty salon that is quite popular among Artists, Officials and other upper circles.

It's common knowledge that Marinda has more attention for Doni. But for Doni Marinda is just a partner for fun. Not only Marinda there are several other women trying to get close to Doni. They even willingly give their bodies to touch.

While being engrossed in the chat accompanied by expensive drinks, Doni's phone vibrated in his pants pocket. Doni reached into his pocket and opened his smartphone. There are two calls and one message .

" Who ? " Tanya Randi is sitting across from Doni.

" Mother. " Answer Doni answered briefly with an anxious look on his face.

" Tumben Ibuk calls you, I think Ibuk is tired of taking care of his young boy who is this biadap. " Randi spoke while laughing mockingly. The five people who were there also chuckled at Randi's words.

" That's what worries me, I don't usually tell you to go home fast. Looks like I should go home. " Doni who was preparing to rise was arrested by Marinda.

" Koq came home, just arrived. We haven't seen each other in a long time, I'm still missing. " Rengek Marinda spoiled while hugging Doni's arms tightly.

" I'm sorry Rin. I'm afraid Ibuk why. At my mother's house alone there was only a housekeeper. Usually at this hour, rest. Next time we'll find some more time, OK ?! " Donis got up again and got ready to go home.

" Sorry Bro. I go first, Rin. I go first." Looking at Marinda's disappointed face, Doni kissed Marinda's cheek at a glance . " Don't be that manyun, it will be beautiful. I'll be more dear, I can bother. " Seloroh Doni's.

" It's okay.I'm happy. " Marinda meets red for Doni's praise.

" That's what Rinda wants... " Say Aryo interjects . Everyone in the room smiled in response to their conversation.

" Yes, my way first. See you's... " Doni immediately left the room in a slight hurry. Drive the car a little faster to get home quickly.

There was anxiety in Doni's heart when reading a message from his mother who arrived to ask to go home immediately. Things that I have never done again since the last few years. Maybe it is saturated with all the behavior of Doni who has been entangled far.

Maybe the night world is common to certain people especially people like Doni and his comrades. But not for the family of Ratih Mother, they educate their children with good habits and good religion. How disappointed her mother Ratih was when Doni chose the wrong way to look for a diversion of her pain.

Until he arrives at the point where he begins to ignore Doni, although not completely. Still, for someone, the mother of a child is a figure who always exists in every prayer and hope.

Twenty minutes later Doni had parked his car perfectly. Without waiting for long Doni went straight in and went to his mother's room. Glanced at the circular Rolex watch in his hand that showed ten o'clock at night. Of course it makes Doni accelerate his pace.

Without knocking Doni directly turned the door handle and opened it quickly. Looks old body Ratih Mother rolled weakly with a blanket that covers up to the waist. Doni was getting anxious when he looked at his mother's eyes closed perfectly.

With big strides Doni immediately approached and clasped his wrinkled hands that felt cold.

" iby.... Ibuk... " Say Doni with a slightly vibrating voice.
