Tok…
Arshaka clasped Ayu's hand while the other hand was still trying to knock on the door in front of him.
He hopes someone will open the door for him.
“Who?!” Shouted a woman from inside, shortly after that there was a key clattering sound. He opened the door, there was a middle-aged woman of the same age as Ayu's mother, she was sitting in a wheelchair, her face was very beautiful.
“Mama!” Arshaka cried touched to see her real mother again. He crouched down and hugged the weak body immediately.
“Arshaka?! Is this really you?”
The man held back his tears.
Mama Arshaka named Lela, from the outside she looks very fresh, her skin is clean, her hair is long manicured and her clothes are also neat even though she only wears a home dress.
The woman also had a sweet smile and beautiful eyes percis like her son. Very simila.
They hugged each other until Lela realized the presence of a young woman behind her son. “This who?” Ask.
Arshaka smiled proudly, “introduce Ma, she's Ayu, my lover.” Ayu approached as Arshaka pulled her finger slowly, “dan Ayu, introduce this My Mom..”.
“I Ayu, Aunt..” Ayu lowered her head to greet Lela and shook her hand.
“You are beautiful once...” Lela smiled and slowly observed Ayu's clothes.
Arshaka who realized it immediately explained to her Mama, “I just took her away from the wedding..”.
Lela patted Arshaka's shoulder hard, Ayu's lover grimacing in pain. “You brought a man's wife run?!”
Arshaka and Ayu then laugh together not knowing where to start.
“You are weird, Arshaka!” Gerutu Lela still doesn't understand what happened to the two of them, “she must have made it difficult for you yes, Ayu..”.
“Ah no, Auntie!” Ayu immediately dodged, in her heart she just wanted to say, Yes your son is very difficult! But I still like him…
“Yaudah if that's how you change clothes first. Ayu wearing Auntie clothes is okay, right?”
“It doesn't matter, Te.”
Arshaka hasn't been here for a long time, but looking from end to end, it's all the same.
Arshaka was about to drive Ayu to Lela's room, but before that, someone opened the door to surprise them.
A man in a hat who was the same age as Mama Arshaka, he carried his bag and fishing gear.
All eyes were on him, and the man looked at Arshaka and Ayu there.
“Ah you have arrived!” Exciting Lela broke the awkwardness, she turned her eyes and turned to push her wheelchair with her hands.
“What is he neighbor Mama?” Tanya Arshaka approached Lela towards the kitchen.
“They are who?” Asked the man to come closer to Lela.
Lela sighed looking at the two in turn. “Well, introduce him to my son, Arshaka and that's the one standing there his girlfriend, Ayu.” Lela pointed towards Ayu. Then now turn around to see Arshaka, “introduce Arshaka, she's Tommy, Mama's new husband..” Lela actually does not want to introduce them. More precisely, not expecting that they would eventually meet like this.
“What?!” Arshaka was immediately upset when she heard it, “Mama remarried? Since when?!”
Tommy stands there looking at Lela who is trying to avoid questions from Arshaka.
“MA!” Bentak Arshaka asks Lela for attention.
Lela put down her cup, “we got married 2 years ago, she helped Mama all this time..”.
“Seriously, Ma?! Did she know Mama had a child? She already knows Mama still has a husband in Jakarta?” Arshaka pointed at Tommy.
Lela thumped the coffee wrap box in front of her, “Arshaka..” call Lela shed her tears, she knew this child would be angry, she knew very well with the nature of Arshaka who was stubborn, and she was very angry with her, Lela didn't know what to explain.
Arshaka waited for Lela's sentence, but there was nothing to say there. He was very upset right now, for him, it shouldn't be his mother like this. Marry again? Although his father had a second wife, but from the bottom of Arshaka's heart, he always wanted them both back as intact as before.
Then Arshaka immediately went to pull Ayu's hand to invite her out.
“Arshaka...” call Ayu be concerned.
The man in front of him was still in a hurry to take Ayu away from there, he tightly grasped Ayu's hand, very tightly.
“Arshaka... Arshaka! Pain!” Pekik Ayu shook his hand. He forced his feet to stop.
Arshaka then frowned seeing Ayu's hand reddened by her too-hard grip. “Sorry, Ayu..” he quit.
“Arshakaa...” then Ayu hugged the man's body. Just this time he saw Arshaka looking weak, only this time also the man was able to let out his tears.
Arshaka clutched Ayu's body, he buried his face on the girl's shoulders and neck.
Ayu was still hugging Arshaka's body until her breathing now began to be regular. “You okay now?” Tanya Ayu was worried.
Arshaka nodded slowly.
Then Ayu invited him to sit in a corner, on a worn wooden bench.
“Have you not been here in a long time?” Ask Ayu again now with a smile, trying to melt the atmosphere.
“Yes, the last time I came here alone was about 5 years ago. Papa was always watching me before..”.
Already seen a tough face there, Arshaka is very strong. To him at this time, no one could make himself weak, even though he was almost killed by his own Father, even though he was betrayed by his best friend, he would never show his feelings.
Except for Mama, he loved Lela so much that hearing the news made her very shaken. How can Lela not tell anything about her new husband to Arshaka. In fact, all he was afraid of was, fearing that Lela would forget him as a child and choose to be with her new family.
In addition to his mother, there is now a growing number of people who are able to shake Arshaka's heart. He is Ayu. The girl next to him now.
“Papa has not visited here since 7 years ago.At that time, there was a painful incident, My mother fell from the 4th floor in an apartment building. I'm grateful that she survived, but since then Mama has been declared paralyzed…
Initially, Papa can still accompany Mama like a husband. But time passed, came the woman who persuaded Papa to marry again. At that time, I was still naive, I was still too busy with the business that Papa assigned me.
Until the time comes, Papa decides to marry the woman and exile Mama. Because for him, Mama is a disgrace that must be covered, he drove Mama here.”.
“Did she leave your mom alone here?”
Arshaka nodded.
“Mama you must be lonely..” said Ayu iba.
“Am I selfish?”
Ayu shrugged her shoulders, “just that, if I were you, I would still be by Mama's side, I'm sure she had a strong reason why not tell you. He does not intend to hide it.” Ayu's advice makes Arshaka empathize with herself as well as to her Mama.
“Do you think so?”
Ayu nodded, “if I am in your position, I will thank Mr. Tommy who has accompanied Mama and made her smile again. Shouldn't it be?”
For a moment Arshaka thought, but then he agreed with Ayu's words. He smiled proudly to his girl, “astaga, Ayu..” he said as he stretched his arms around Ayu's body.
“Why?”
“I love you so much!”
“So, would you like to apologize to your Mama?” Tanya Ayu hoped.
“Iya, thanks to you! I don't want to let you go!” Arshaka tightened her embrace.
“Ih who was crying was afraid of his mother.” taunted Ayu before Arshaka further buried Ayu's face closer to his chest that field.
“You dare to be with me, hmm?”
“Ah Arshakaa!” Ayu shouted as Arshaka tried to kiss her.
