Turning Point

FIFTY EIGHT

"Mbak Lin, I want to pee" said Ranti's mother with a slightly pelo style of speech typical of someone who suffered a stroke.

Lintang who had just finished feeding her mother-in-law lunch, then rushed to pick up the bedpan she had placed under the hospital bed where her mother-in-law lay.

"For a while, ma'am",

Lintang raised a little b****g mother-in-law and she put the potty right under it. Once done, Lintang cleans in the sensitive area of her mother-in-law and then throws it into a closet.

Yes, this is how the day Lintang. It's been four days Lintang slept in the hospital waiting for her mother-in-law. And for four days also Latang did not meet with Nana. And Agum also rarely accompanied him to sleep in the hospital. Returning from the office he did take the time to visit his mother, but after that he went home.

Lintang tried to understand, because maybe Agum was tired, and could not rest in peace if he was in the hospital. Therefore Lintang never protested if Agum could not accompany him to sleep in the hospital.

Concerned, that was how he felt when he looked at his mother-in-law's face. Lintang did not expect that he would see his mother-in-law at the weakest point like this. His body cannot be moved at all. His speech also seemed to be difficult. Lintang massaged her mother-in-law's hands and feet using rubbing oil to feel warm. Not even a drop of Latitude tears escaped from his eye patch.

"Sorry, said Ranti Lirih's mother.

Latitude jerked then wiped away her tears. "Eh why apologize ma'am?"

"Mother has made you a hassle, madam"

The latitude shook her head and smiled knotfully. "No ma'am, Lintang doesn't feel bothered. This has become a latitude obligation. And Lintang actually feel happy because it can be devoted to the mother"

Ranti's mother's eyes look red, then she also cries.

"Mommy, don't cry. The most important thing now is that you must have the spirit to heal. Because with that spirit can further accelerate the process of healing the mother", continued Lintang anyway.

***********

At a soto shop, Agum and Reni are enjoying their lunch. They did make an appointment to meet at lunchtime like this. Either, what because of love or what, so that makes the two miss each other every day and want to always spend time together.

Agum was seen stuffing a spoonful of soto into his mouth. "What about Tomi, honey?, does she still live in the same house as you?",

Reni sipped the orange ice that was in front of her. "It's still a pity, but I swear I don't feel anything with him anymore. Instead I'm always thought of by you, my brain seems to be filled with your name"

Agum was stunned to hear Reni's words. His heart feels flowery. His hand then clasped Reni's hand. "I too, dear, I feel no longer desirous with Latitude, every time I make physical contact with him, your face is always reflected in my mind"

Agum took a deep breath and then exhaled it. "We live like this once baby, without being known by anyone"

Reni looks to roll both her eyes. "But I want her to always be with you dear"

Agum smiled then stroked Reni's cheek. "You calm down baby, tomorrow I'm gonna find a little rental near the office, and we can spend some time there"

"Because?",

Agum nodded steadily. "True dong darling. I'd choose to live with you if you were really separated from Tomi, but not now...."

"Why, baby?"

Agum smiled back. "My mother loved Lintang so much, and now Lintang is taking care of my sick mother. If I am divorced from Lintang, you will take care of my mother, I don't want to baby. Because if you are too busy taking care of the needs of the house and take care of my mother, surely you forget to take care of yourself and will definitely make the beauty of your body and the beauty of your face fade"

Reni is getting happier beyond measure. "So you think I'm better at taking care of your body than your wife, baby?

"That's for sure, baby. You see how Lintang looks?, he looks much older than his age, different from you, the older even looks more tempting", replied Agum.

Reni looks so happy to get compliments from Agum, she unceasingly wears her most beautiful smile. While Agum, he occasionally looks bitter smile.

I don't know why I became so crazy about this woman. I know this is wrong but I also can't lie to myself that I've fallen in love a second time with this woman. Love that feels more powerful than ever. And made me want to have it all the more, completely.
