The Handsome Ice Mountain

33

Now I, Lina and Aunt Rini are left in the room, while Hendra is out looking for food. While we were busy talking in the nursery of Aunt Rini, Ryan suddenly entered with an angry face. Indeed, all day he was busy finding out the reason why his mother fell ill until this severe. Although usually mamahnya often hurt, but this is the most severe than usual. After finding out the cause, he finally found out from bi Rumi and his mother's employee at the restaurant. That recently Aunt Rini has been busy teaching me how to cook. Knowing all that Ryan rushed to the hospital to ask for an explanation to his mother directly. But he was angry when he found me in the room.

“Ngapain lo here?” angry Ryan while glaring his eyes at me. I saw Ryan was angry, just downcast in fear.

“Darling, you why the hell. Not polite tofu” reprimand aunt Rini.

“Mama don't need to bear him. Now I know why my mom got to soy sauce. Must be this chick forcing mom to teach her to cook right?” ryan is still with his emotions.

“Ryan, you're nothing at all. This is not the fault of Sham. You misunderstood” said aunt Rini again.

“Mistake what mah? From the beginning I was suspicious, surely this girl would want to near mamah” Ryan said again. And tampa deliberately I who bowed shed tears. Lina was busy calming me down.

“Didn't I always stress, if mama can't be soybean? Why should he also ask mama to teach him to” continued Ryan again.

I who could not hear the humiliation of Ryan immediately ran out, which was followed by Lina.

“Ryan” snapped aunt Rini. Now they both remain in the room.

“Since when have you been so angry like this anyway? Mama already said that you misunderstood” said aunt Rini sadly.

“But mah” elak Ryan.

“Not Sham who asked to be taught cooking. But mama made him. Because mama is bored if you have to be at home constantly tampa there are activities” explained aunt Rini.

“But mah, he should have refused. I used to say that Mama can't be soybean. Is he stupid?” answer Ryan again.

“Just you should apologize to Syam” aunt Rini's order.

“I don't want mah” replied Ryan.

“People should” says Tantte Rini.

“What the hell is this” Ask om Hendra when entering the room.

“This reward. Ryan was angry with Syam. Until Syam cries and goes” obviously aunt Ryan.

“Ko can? What is wrong Sham?” Ask Hendra confused.

“Ryan thought that Syam asked that mama teach him to cook, until mama so soy sauce gini” clear aunt Rini again, while Ryan just kept quiet.

“Trus, why don't you go after Syam Ryan? Now you go after him and apologize” orders om Hendra who had to be obeyed by Ryan.

Lina and I were sitting in the hospital garden. Lina calms me down, who is still saddened by Ryan's words. Suddenly Ryan surprised us from behind.

“Don't expect you can I'm sorryin” Ryan said.

“Sister Ryan shit anyway. It's not Sham's fault. Aunty Rini always maksa Syam to nemanin he” said Lina who had begun to grow angry with Ryan.

“You guys think I'll believe that shit?” snapped Ryan.

“Ya already that's why Ryan's brother came here. Make the atmosphere worse course” replied Lina again.

“If not for being forced, I will not come here also” Ryan said with an annoying face. Lina and I were confused by Ryan's words.

“Awas indeed if you ngadu with my papah mama” added Ryan then passed away.

“Why Ryan does not believe very much the same I Lin” said I was still in a state of tears.

“Udah deh Syam. Why the hell lo tangisin guy not feeling rich he. Waste of energy tau ngga” sebal Lina.

“But Lin, it hurt so much when Ryan did me”.

“Mending we behind scarang deh Syam. There's no point in us here. Mending us back trus istrahat” take Lina who I reply with a nod.

After a few minutes of driving we finally arrived in front of my apartment building.

“Oh yes Syam, I returned first well. It's already night. I will call Lo” said Lina when I get out of her car.

“Iya Lin's. Thanks yeah. Sorry ngerepotin”.

“Ngga problems. Oh yea. You do not have to think about the words of Ryan again yah” said Lina.

“Huum” my answer is short.

“Ya. I'm back now. By” said Lina and drove her sports car.

Because Lina's gone. I walked into the apartment with my face still swollen. Soon I cleaned myself up and did the magrib prayer. After I finished the prayer, I grabbed the same old prayer beads that Ryan had given me. Actually when I bought that tasbih, I accidentally bought two. I thought I'd remember him when I saw this prayer bead. But right now all I remember about him are his words that are so heartbreaking.

I took the prayer and thought of remembering Allah. I wish I could forget all Ryan said. I repeated my remembrance while shedding tears. Maybe it was my fault for loving her too much, that words that were not so harsh to others, felt like a slashing knife to me.

When I was still thinking, I heard my phone ring. And it turns out it was dad. I'll call you right away, 'cause I don't want to make him wait.

“Hallo, assalamualaikum yah” said I opened our conversation.

“Walaikumussalam. What are you doing?” Ask dad.

“I just finished praying yah” I replied.

“You why son, your voice is so hoarse. You sick?” Ask me to worry.

“Ngga coke well. I'm doing fine. Which mother is yah?” ask me to divert the conversation.

“Hallo babe” Ask mom.

“Iya ma'am. How's mom?” my many.

“We are good dear” replied mom.

“You have a problem again baby? Try the story to mom!” said meek mother.

My mother understood me the most. So I always told him anything. And it's also free that I hid something from him, in the end he will know too.

“Mother remembers aunt Rini sam om Hendra who I often told. So Aunt Rini was in the hospital a few days ago” I explained to mom.

“Astaghfirullah. So how is aunt Rini skarang?” Ask me to worry.

“She has improved bu” replied me.

“But you are still sad. What is it exactly, nak?” Ask me to worry.

Because mom kept asking, I immediately decided to tell her about the incident this afternoon. And she gave me advice and told me to be patient. Maybe Ryan needs some time to understand. That's my mother's mind now. Mom is a very nice person.
