" Hello, tumben called ", said the voice over there. " Just come home lo'? ".
Raka messed up her thick hair, not immediately answering Haidar's barrage of questions across the continent.
" Hey!, why call if I just told you to breathe elo' dodol..... ".
" He he he" Raka chuckled. " It is not very bad the boss, nyingin who again hectic want to marry ".
" What's wrong?. Lots of PR... ".
" Adaiiih. sok 'abe'ge . Elo came home, is it my marriage? ", Raka finally asked seriously.
" God willing, so work hard like a horse. For what's it try?, for your sake brother dodol... ".
" Halaaaah... most also for the sake of your miss on adinda tow? ".
" That's okay, trus? what's this call? really just want to ask that? ", lick Haidar again.
" Can't ya call the beloved sodara ", sound memelasu pseudu typical rengilnya Raka.
" The problem is, elo call a pass I really want' meeting. nego price, big project ".
" Oh... ", Raka was stunned for a moment. " Yes to sodara boss. Continue deh.. ntar-ntar is the substitute who called ".
" Sure?, no one is urgent? ", insisted Haidar from across there.
" Ehm ".
" What?, the quarry says ".
" Don't forget my wedding gift... ".
And unilaterally, Raka immediately hung up the phone. Still with the rest of the laughter chuckling slowly. But then it turned into a long breath.
" If you knew what was going on with your mom. I actually want to say, call him. ", Raka muttered as she walked into the house.
The afternoon was just beginning to turn dusk when he entered the room. Throw his body over a soft, comfortable bed. Hoping to eliminate the feeling of fatigue that was attached since noon earlier.
" Things like this, used to happen a lot. The last one while pregnant Rana ". Raka heard what Aunt Orlin said as they headed for the parking lot earlier.
" But all of this is unproven. They were only ever close, yet one-sided. Because your Om .... has even completely forgotten about them. Most are former models, artists who are starting to dim, but there are also those who are the daughters of famous entrepreneurs ".
" So yeah, keep auntie how to deal with her? ", asked Raka at that time with a completely confused look.
" Yes.barin aja, lah wong Om mu aja also cuek. After all, they all played in Medsos. Not as of now... ".
It was then that Raka clearly saw the streak of sadness and worry. Obviously this is not something that can be ignored just like that.
" He came only after thirty years had passed. Had he been the same as all the women who always chased Mandala mas. ", Aunt Orlin paused for so long, but Raka did not dare to say a question at all. He just kept waiting.
" Those eyes were clearly full of guilt, honest sadness. With a very heavy heart and full of regret tells a mistake, which consequently felt alone. Though it should be. om you also have to bear it ". Her Aunt Orlin who was always full of an aura of charming beauty, now looked a little grim. Like trying your hardest to gather vocabulary and string it together, as if creating a key to open up a sense of tightness that is compressed in his heart.
" That little girl, her dear granddaughter, I saw a smile and a line of little Kirana's face there. And my conscience says there's nothing more to doubt. But we have to be realistic with all the evidence we have to believe. You must understand how you're doing .. even though this is torturing me a little bit ".
Not so with what Raka saw. That Aunt Orlin was not only slightly tormented, but extremely tormented.
" Aunty, how about mama ... I tell you, or aunty share it with mama" Raka conveyed slowly and very carefully.
" Raka... Do you know what your mom's gonna explode like ?. Let it go, aunt still able to hold it ". The woman smiled faintly.
" That aunt Hayu ? ", Raka was still trying to give advice. "Ma-maaf aunt .. instead Raka does not want to help save it for aunt. But .... Raka is still very shallow'the experience of the heart .... ".
" Aunty understands what you mean ", Orlin interrupted quickly. " Because Raka loves the same aunt, because Raka does not want to see aunty suffer from her own victory, right ? ".
Raka nodded quickly, exactly the same as twenty years ago. Every time he was caught crying sad because of a fight with his brother, or when lost fighting over toys with his cousin's brothers, or after getting angry with the mother. The woman's gentle gaze could always make her obey.
" Raka should know as well, that there are times when a woman prefers to be quiet and hold things on her own. Not because he was strong, not because he was afraid, but because he was waiting for the right moment. And this is a valuable lesson for Raka, tomorrow when your wife says that she's okay, to be honest, she was in desperate need of your arms ".
" Hello, Brother Namu .. Have you gone home ? ".
" No, overtime the plan. Why ".
" Give me private time. Important ".
" When ? "
" An hour from now ". And Raka hung up the phone without waiting for a reaction or anything from Namu.
'Sorry aunt'. The whisper of his heart as a justification for the breaking of a promise made by a Raka.
.................................................
The two men were silent to each other, holding each other's gazes for a while. This incident began when Raka conveyed a little story, which at first only made Namu slightly raised his head and then again submerged it in the flow of data on his laptop screen.
" Stale!!. that old trick ", he said a moment ago.
" Sister.the woman came all the way from Sinjepur. And now it's in our hospital. On your mother's initiative ".
Until finally Namu again raised his face, staring fixedly at the piercing cousin sister looking at him. As if exclaiming, seriously bang.
" Aunty Orlin, currently ... is not okay ". Raka deliberately made an emphasis on the word 'not being okay'. It was enough to capture all of Namu's attention, who now sat down and stared intently at him.
" How long will the results come out ? ", what Namu means is of course the results of DNA testing.
" For a father and son test result of five days at most, but this has jumped another generation, use the sultan's connections and high fees".
Namu hooked his fingers in front of his chest, frowning, indicating he was thinking hard.
"Can't you speed up Haidar's job ? ", ask Raka again. But Namu only took a long breath back.
"Please .... aunt Orlin, currently. He needs your existence ... ".
" Okay .. okay .. wait !!! . Who knows already ? ", sergeant Namu is quick.
" New you and me. But brother must remember .. actually I have broken the promise with aunt Lin. I should have kept this a secret from anyone, until ..... ".
"The test came out, so. It no longer matters ". Without waiting for Raka's approval, Namu immediately dialed a number and could be sure it was Haidar number.
" Abservations .. hemm, to the point. Progress to where ? ", it sounds very cold. Even Raka shuddered to hear it. Very similar to the Mandala om when working and facing quite strange problems. Even Namu's style of raising eyebrows and pulling the corners of his lips was almost the same as Mandala the papa.
Raka did not know what Haidar was saying from across the street, he could only see Namu frowning a few times. Ha'. hem. ha..hem. while mangosteen several times. But he was sure, across there must be Haidar spoke at length but with a neatly structured language, as usual.
" Fix, Raka's wedding can go home ?. Do not mepet-mepet... one more week ? .... okay deal ... one more week ".
Raka was still stunned by the negotiations that only sounded one-sided as forcing, but still produced perfect results. Evidently with a satisfied smile that was engraved on Namu's lips.
" It's done ?. Now .... how should I tell Haidar ? ".
" It's definitely your part Rakadipa ".
" Well, I can't dong. Can't if I'm the one who has to talk alone .. The more sins I have ".
Namu frowned, drawing closer to Raka even though their existence was blocked by a table.
" Yes sin .. for betraying aunt Lin dong's trust ".
" Okay .. I said it, but the key witness and the perpetrator were ".
"Ya elaaah .. seems to be a gini criminal even ".
