"Have you contacted Rita, Jim?" ask Edgar when they're on their way home.
"Already, Sir. He said he would try to attend, because he is now on leave out of town, and the position he is now in his brother's house.
"Oh, so ... It's okay."
With a very large number of employees, of course, not all of them directly deal with the central leader. Suppose like a leave of absence, each branch has a leader who is trusted to hold this authority. By adjusting the leave allowance and synchronized with other employee leave so as not to clash with each other.
Mentari grew impatient waiting for Edgar's arrival.he stood by the side of the pond with his hands on the backrest.
"Mama will soon invite you to reminisce, son." murmured Mentari as she rubbed her stomach.
Waiting for Edgar's arrival apparently still shows no signs. The sun came back into the room because the sunlight was still very hot even though it was late afternoon. But the west-facing balcony is of course still receiving sunlight, especially no tall trees that become a barrier to incoming light.
About Rita, Mentari tries to think positive first. He did not want to worry too much and ignored his own health. There will definitely be time to find out what really happened to Rita.
Waiting is a very boring thing. Mentari turned on the television, but did not find a suitable show. However, being alone without any other activity, the television remained on. Switch channels until you find a suitable one, which is a cartoon channel.
"Yes, this is better." muttered Mentari then put the remote control next to him.
Mentari raises her leg to the sofa and straightens it. Watching the cartoon turned out to make him entertained, he laughed giggling himself every funny thing happened.
"I thought, my cravings are not as severe as I've heard from other pregnant mothers." murmured Mentari.
Smiling mentari. Some time ago, he had liked the scent of Edgar who had just moved. He didn't even like it when Edgar took a shower. Now, it seemed to disappear with no awareness of him.
Rubbing gently on his own stomach becomes a very pleasant activity for Mentari at this time, maybe also for pregnant women in general. It also feels impatient to wait for the kicks he feels.
"Grow healthy in your stomach yes, baby." murmured Mentari.
The lips that had formed a smile now turned vibrating, let alone the cartoon film that was being watched was finished and changed other titles. Again and again, Mentari cried when he remembered there was no mother figure and without clear family assistance. Crying like anything will not bring the situation back to how it used to be.
"I cannot continue like this." muttered Mentari and wiped her tears.
"This regret will only lead me to an ungrateful heart."
Mentari took a deep breath and rubbed her face quickly. At the same time, Edgar opened the door. The surprised mentor immediately stood up and gave a smile. In hopes Edgar did not see it while crying.
"Mas, are you home?"
Mentari immediately kissed the back of her husband's hand as usual. Edgar also immediately kissed the Mentari's forehead, then rained a kiss in the face of the wife. Do not forget to rub gently on the stomach that already contains the results of his work.
"What meda?" Ask Edgar.
Mentari glanced at the still-lit television with cartoon shows.
Edgar was chuckling little to see this one bumil spectacle.
"Don't be so bad!" Mentari Protest.
"No, hon. Oh yes, I just took a shower, let's get there sooner. Don't go all night." said Edgar.
Mentari. He immediately prepared a change of clothes for Edgar. He had imagined coming home on a motorcycle. It has been a few months that he forgot how the thrill of driving ahead of each other with two-wheelers. Very beautiful in his shadow.
At 16:35 WIB both are ready. They were also downstairs. Edgar brought a suitcase that had been prepared by Mentari. The suitcase contained a change of clothes for both of them during there, about two nights.
"Where is Mr Dar going?" mentari asked when he saw Mr. Dar was dressed neatly with a jacket and wearing a helmet.
"Come with you, Miss." Answer mr. Dar.
Mentari looked at her husband, while Edgar just smiled.
"Come, sir." take Edgar to Mr. Dar.
Edgar clasped Mentari's hand. "Let's go baby."
Mentari was a little confused, why Edgar did not wear decent clothes to ride a motorcycle.
"Lho, how come you got a car, Mas? Later can't get into the alley, dong? You want to walk, Mommy? You remember what happened that day, right?"
"If I'm not walking."
Edgar chuckles at Mentari's worries.
"That's what I'm using to bring Mr. Dar, baby." Edgar kissed Mentari's lips are still fashionably confused.
Mentari got into the car whose door was opened by Edgar.
Mr. Dar was behind their car like a bodyguard. If the bodyguard is usually riding a large motorbike or car, Dar sir is riding a matic motorbike. Because Edgar's big bike will definitely make Mentari difficult.
''For a long time we did not enjoy an afternoon like this.'' said Edgar then grasped the hand of Mentari. The hand that was in his grasp was he squid without being released.
''Feelings not long ago, Mas.'' replied Mentari.
''Maybe I miss too much.'' Edgar replied and kissed Mentari's hand again.
Mentari smiled to see how her husband treated her.
After passing a busy highway. The car that was driven at medium speed finally arrived at a curb. Right on the spot when Edgar first wanted to find Mentari's house because it would deliver the ID card he confiscated.
Mr. Dar who was behind him was immediately pulled over in front of Edgar's car.
''Ooooohhh.'' Mentari finally understood why Edgar brought Dar and brought a motorcycle. It turned out that the reason was for exchanging vehicles.
''Now I understand ' right?'' edgar asked as soon as he heard the word oh long from Mentari.
''Yes understand.''
The suitcase that was brought was diverted to the motor. Edgar was wearing his helmet. Both are like someone who has just come home from traveling or just returned from wandering.
''I don't have to wear a helmet, Mom. Kan is not far away anymore.'' reject Mentari when Edgar wants to put a helmet on his head.
''Hmmm, wear the helmet for safety, want near or far. Can't argue.''
Want to not want to be even mentari.
''Thank you, Mr. Dar.'' said Edgar.
Mr. Dar bent his body. The man was standing next to Edgar's steering door.
''Please sir, I will monitor from here.'' said Mr. Dar.
Edgar's on the bike. If in view, he is not very suitable with the motor matic. His body was tall and sturdy like sitting in a chair.
Along the way through that narrow alley, all eyes were on their arrival. Especially people who have long recognized the figure of Mentari. Mentari greets people with a smile.
The arrival of Edgar and Mentari was immediately welcomed by some people who were already in the house. The mentari was amazed by the preparations made. In the yard of his house has been installed tents like people who will hold a celebration.
''Good afternoon Mr. Edgar and Ms. Mentari.' said a middle-aged woman. Behind him stood the figure of a middle-aged man.
''Yes afternoon, ma'am, replied Mentari.
''This is Ms. Titi and she is Mr. Ramlan. Those who work take care of this house said Edgar.
''Ohhhh, so? thank you very much, Mom, sir.'' said Mentari.
''Same-same, Non. I'm glad I got a job here.''
''Please rest first, Mr and Miss.''
Both nod.
''Let me Mr. bring his suitcase.'' said Mr. Ramlan.
''It's okay, sir, let me take it myself. There are still many scattered.''
Mr. Ramlan glanced towards the bottom of the tent, a lot of chairs scattered and not yet on the waist. Because the plan will be drawn up tomorrow afternoon.
''Please continue your work, sir.''
Mr. Ramlan finally nodded and allowed Mentari and Edgar to rest.
Edgar pulled out his suitcase and was taken inside the house. While Mentari moved his legs very slowly. He spread his gaze through the condition of the house that he had not occupied for a long time.
Is it still as it used to be or has changed without his knowledge.
The photos are still intact on the wall. The position of his old sofa and furniture has not changed, there are only additions. Mentari did not intend to ask, of course Edgar did everything.
