Hello Arvin!

Hello Arvin!
Good Sign


The melodious sound of Koes Plus singing the song Suppose You Come is heard from the radio in the car. Along the way Lena was silent. His eyes are red and swollen. Arvin was sure his mother was crying all night, his mood this morning was terrible. Angga until scolded just for asking permission not to take swimming lessons later in the afternoon because invited to play futsal by his classmates.


Arvin did not dare to refuse when invited to leave now. Where not. There are a lot of cartoon movies that you should watch on Sunday. Arvin doesn't want to ruin Lena's bad mood. Better to shut up and just obey. He tried to distract his mind by playing the lego he brought from home. Wait for the car to stop at its destination.


Before long the car stopped in the parking lot of Dharmais Cancer Hospital. They stepped inside, walked between the hallways and passed by white-washed doctors and patients. Continue until the crowded hall was turned to a hallway that is quite quiet visitors. Arvin who has since followed Lena was astonished when he saw the signpost ‘Inpatient’ in one of the street pointers.


“Bu, who is sick?” Arvin asked finally, unable to contain his curiosity.


Lena stopped, silent in the middle of the long hallway of the hospital. Then crouch down in front of Arvin. His heart was so wounded it had to tell Arvin the truth so painful. Her tears rolled down her cheeks, she sobbed for a moment. Cupping his hands covered his face, before finally regaining control.


He took a deep breath to fill his lungs with air. Trying to calm down faced Arvin who still stood in confusion.


“Grandmother is sick?” Ask Arvin again.


Lena shook her head. Swallowing, trying to speak in a trembling voice.


“Mommy wants to tell you something. Arvin don't cry ya!”


“What?”


“Today I want to invite Arvin to meet your biological mother. I've never told you before, if you're not my real son. You are a nursing mother since the baby, and I have considered my own child.” Lena paused her words. Looking at the puzzled expression of Arvin. His forehead was wrinkled and his eyes were agitated. “Now your biological mother is seriously ill and unconscious, you need to make nemenin. Arvin want nemenin mama?” Continue Lena.


Arvin silently digested Lena's words. Before she finally cried and hugged him. Hysterical crying and fear.


“Sorry me, Mom... I promise not to be naughty and diligent PR gerjain... Gak will skip the abacus tutoring again.” His speech stammered.


Arvin hopes his mother only tells lies now, because she's naughty and disobedient. Instead of convincing her that this was all a joke, Lena joined in crying tightly to Arvin. He fell on the floor, holding Arvin. Wishing to drown out her pain and guilt.


Rivanno always mocked Arvin that he was an illegitimate child, he was not his mother's biological child. All that does not bother Arvin, because his two brothers Angga and Audrey will be ready to plash Rivanno's head when saying this. Arvin also never told his mother about the taunts. But knowing that everything was the truth, Arvin was so scared and sad.


There can be no other mother than her mother. Lena was Arvin's mother. There's nothing else. Although sometimes Lena often scolded him for being lazy to do the task, but Arvin was very fond of him and Arvin also knew Lena also loved him. She doesn't need another mother besides Lena. Even though everyone says she's not his real mother.


“This Arvin yes?” Greet a grandmother when Arvin entered the inpatient room.


Arvin did not return his greeting. His eyes were directly focused on the woman lying down with the hose and wires wrapped around her body. Support the life that is at the end of the cliff.


That day was the last time Arvin could feel Lena's embrace and hand. His world suddenly changed. Feelings of sadness, fear and confusion hit him over and over again. But there was one feeling that grew strong in his heart. Hatreds. To Lena, her father, her birth mother, and to the world and its contents. A comfortable life filled by loved ones suddenly disappears evaporating into the air.


“Arvin! Vin, you okay?” Nara tried to shake Arvin's still asleep body, she was delirious and seemed unsettled. Nara was very worried to see Arvin like that. “Arvin!” Shouted Nara.


Arvin flinched and woke up. Staring at the ceiling then turned to Nara who was next to her bed. His feelings were mixed after dreaming of that long-ago event. Why has she been dreaming so much lately about Lena and her birth mother? It makes his heart uncomfortable.


“Lo dream what the hell, so that cry-nangis? In the pursuit of ghosts?”


Arvin did not answer. He pulls Nara's body to sleep and hugs her. Drown all worries and uncomfortable feelings into his wife's warm embrace. Right now it was just Nara's embrace that she needed to calm down again. The fresh aroma of shampoo in his hair makes Arvin comfortable.


“Luck there is you now.” His whisper.


“Lo what dream?”


“Take a prayer first if you want to sleep. It would be a dream of Satan.”


Arvin chuckles, “I think I should sleep now while weeping you let it be good and not strange dreams.”


“Dih alesan.”


Arvin didn't reply. She tries to fall back asleep while continuing to hug Nara. He got rid of all the bad thoughts in his brain. Everything she dreams about is just the past. The relationship between him and Lena has been broken ever since and is difficult to repair. Arvin will put his feelings of guilt and hate in his heart.


“If you have a problem that makes the mind mending story. Who knows, you can lighten the burden of your mind. Later you nightmare kayak earlier continue.” Nara.


After the night that Arvin was drunk, he never explained or told Nara about any difficulties he faced. It seems Arvin also does not remember ever let out his heart that night. But Nara became worried because Arvin was so agitated during these few days while asleep. Is it possible that all the pressure at the office from his father made Arvin what he is today?


Arvin was surprised by Nara's words. He immediately opened his eyes again which almost lost consciousness and fell asleep. This time Nara was so attentive to him. The biggest smile is Arvin's. He let go of the embrace, shifting from his place so that he could parallelly stare at the face of Nara sleeping next to him.


“There is no problem whatsoever. Thanks for worrying about me.” Said calm.


Arvin clung his forehead to Nara, looking closely at her eyes. Then a short kiss on his lips. Surprisingly Nara did not mind.he just kept quiet with Arvin's behavior. Arvin was once again aghast then chuckled.


“Lo don't lie. Kan lo tell yourself if there is a problem completely resolved, find a solution. You think about office problems right until the dream is not clear?”


“Ngga there is any problem, all under control. Adam likes excessive paineritainnya.” Arvin's Objection.


“Gue knows not from Adam but from you yourself. Lo the story pas lo mabok.”


Arvin straightened his body and sat down, Nara followed Arvin. Sit facing each other on the bed. Look at each other. Arvin still gasps in disbelief with what Nara says.


“I said anything while drunk?”


“Hmm. About the office, about Mr. Candra, and cousin lo.”


“I'm fine.”


“Do not lie and cool pretentious. I know you suffer just as much as I do, right? I don't need to pretend and be strong. He said you want to live with me, why do you think you are being kept secret? I've been working there longer, know more about the environment there than you and your new cousin for the whole corn work. Pinter and charisma are not useful, if you can not play office politics. I know who you have to decetin to get sympathy and not lose to Ivan. You're not moral, but if you know. All the higher-ups there are as immoral as lo. They're just holy-suckers.” Clearly Nara then sneered.


Arvin laughs. Can't believe Nara said this.


“Lo know Mr Bambang from Internal Audit? He's got 2 wives, but still flirty son apprentice. There was a rumor he was going to the hotel. Do you know Mr Handoko from Planning? He often karoke and if again travel service like to ask for cewe.” Nara started to gossip.


“All people are immoral. But they are also the most good at being moral police for others, feeling holy. Though the goal is to let him feel better, there is a target shoot so that all gossip focus equally lo. Because you are younger, less experienced there, and have no friends.”


It's 2 in the morning, now, but Nara began to chatter long to share hot rumors about important people in the company and anyone Arvin had to approach to get a vote so as not to lose influence from Vice CEO, Rivanno.


Little by little Arvin's burden decays instantly, hearing Nara so eagerly pushing Arvin to avenge those who defected gives Rivanno support to get Arvin eliminated. It turns out that sharing his worries is not as bad as Arvin thought, Nara is now more detached and open. Make Arvin instantly comfortable and safe.


Is this a good sign?


Has their relationship gone in a better direction?
