HOW CAN I NOT LOVE YOU
Chapter 3 - Don't call the Father Rama
" What were you talking about with Tita, Anin? I'm sure if you let out those tears wasn't because you were yawning or your eyes were in the dust." Arriving in the room, Ricky again asked about what Anindita discussed with Tita, because he felt that Anindita was lying to him.
Anindita looks at Ricky, realising that her husband has found out about her lies, but she is afraid to tell him the truth because she thinks Ricky will be mad at her because she is still thinking about Arya.
Anindita lowered her gaze with a sigh that could be heard in her husband's ear. Ricky then approached Anindita and touched her shoulder with both hands.
" You don't want to be honest with your husband?" Although Ricky's tone was very soft but still felt to pinch Anindita's heart.
" Sorry, Mas. Actually I'm the same Ma'am Tita was talking about ..." Anindita bit her lip, hesitating to continue her sentence for fear of offending Ricky.
" What's talking about?" Intrigued because Anindita paused her sentence, Ricky again scouted Anindita with questions.
" I was talking about ... My Arya ..." Anindita immediately lowered her head, even she shrank the volume of her voice when she mentioned her ex-husband's name first.
Ricky's hand raised Anindita's bowed chin and asked, "Why didn't you tell me the truth earlier, Anin?" Inaudible tone of anger from the sentence that ejected from Ricky's mouth indicates if the man seemed wise. He realized that Arya's name would not just disappear in Anindita's heart. There is a child in the marriage of Anindita and Arya, he should not be selfish should be able to accept it. After all, Arya is no longer in this world so she does not have to worry about anything.
" I'm sorry, Mas." - shrieked Anindita with regret.
Ricky immediately grabbed Anindita's body and sank the woman's face into her chest. He now felt his chest feel moist because of Anindita's tears, he knew that at this time his wife was crying even though she did not speak.
" Tomorrow we go to the tomb of Mr. Arya, yes!? You just order flowers to Alabama so that tomorrow morning can be delivered here." Ricky even took Anindita on a pilgrimage to the tomb of Anindita's former first husband.
Anindita immediately raised her head to hear Ricky's words. He really did not expect that Ricky was so good and so patient to face his attitude and sometimes stubborn nature.
" Want to go on a pilgrimage to Mas Arya's tomb?" Anindita's beautiful eyes stared at Ricky's squinty eyeballs in turn.
" Of course, take Arka after we take Rama to school" he said later, while his hand rubbed Anindita's moist cheeks with tears.
" Now don't cry anymore, huh!?" Ricky smiled as he wrapped Anindita's hair which was now cut to the neck.
" Thank you, Mom." Anindita again looked down at her husband's chest. He really feels lucky to be chosen by an All-Powerful man as good as Ricky, who he thinks is typical of men who approach perfection other than Arya.

" Assalamualaikum, good morning Mrs Pratama." When Anindita looks open the door of the apartment where she lives with Ricky, Mita friends seprofesinya when working in Alabama florist greet her with a sentence that teases Anindita.
" navalovaa ... Morning, Ms. Mita." said Anindita. " Come on in, Ma'am." He then invited Mita, whose hands were filled with a bouquet of flowers and plastic white rose petals, into his apartment.
" This is my order, madam." Mita puts all the flowers in her hand on Ricky's living room table.
" Thank you, Mother Mita, I'm sorry to have to leave early in the morning to prepare these flowers." Anindita is not happy because it makes Mita leave earlier than usual to prepare her order flowers that will be taken when she will make a pilgrimage to the tomb of her ex-husband first.
" Sir Anin wants to make a pilgrimage to Pak Arya's grave with whom?" ask Mita later.
" There's Rama's Papa, Ma'am." said Anindita saw a note of interest that he had to pay, although Alabama Florist located in the neighborhood Ricky apartment that previously belonged to Anidita has now been handed over to Lucy, although, but every time he ordered flowers at the florist store, Anindita always paid like a customer. Lucy herself always refuses if Anindita pays for every flower she buys at Anindita's flower shop first, but Anindita does not want to be given free of charge all the flowers she buys, she said, he even threatened not to subscribe at the Florist store if Lucy did not want to be paid.
" I'll transfer, Mommy!?" Anindita always paid for her messages through internet banking transfers, because as the wife of a young executive, she is required not to be clumsy and must always be active in keeping up with the times even though she does not leave her attitude as a simple woman.
" With Rama's Father."
" Duh, Sister Anin is very lucky anyway, can husband like Mr. Ricky, really responsible including the same Arka, although Arka is not his own flesh and blood." Mita commented on Ricky's attitude which she thought was worth a thumbs up for showing as an exemplary husband and father.
" Yes, Ma'am. His father Rama felt indebted to Mas Arya, because Mas Arya was very fond of Rama, although Mas Arya knew that Rama was an extramarital child. Therefore, his father Rama wanted to repay Mas Arya's kindness by accepting and loving Arka as Mas Arya loved Rama. " Anindita ends her sentence with a legitimate mende.
" Thank God always sends Anin a good soul mate, maybe because Anin's mother is a good person so her reaction is good." Mita rubbed Anindita's arm, she still felt the grief in Anindita's heart over Arya's loss.
" Mad Mita overvalues me, I am an ordinary person. It is precisely I who feel lucky to be surrounded by good people since I was in Malang to move to Jakarta, including Mbak Mita one of them." Anindita smiles.
" That means we are both good people, Ma'am. I also got a new bike from Papa Rama. Hehehe ..." Mita chuckles because she and Yeti, one of the senior at Alabama florist who is the closest friends Anindita get a motorcycle gift from Ricky because he has always accompanied Anindita.
" Yes already, Ma'am. I'll take my leave, okay!? Get ready to open the store. Ardernath ..." Mita intends to say goodbye to Anindita to return to the florist store to get ready to open the store.
" okay, Ma'am. Thanks, huh!? Valeriecollins ..." Anindita also drove Mita to the front door of the apartment.
" Have the flowers come?" Ricky's voice suddenly rang out in the living room as Anindita closed the apartment door.
" It's been, Mas." Anindita approached Ricky who was holding Arka in his arms.
" This is the same Mama ..." Anindita takes Arka from Ricky's hand and kisses her son's padlocked cheek with Arya.
" May ...."
Anindita turned her gaze toward Ricky as her husband called her name.
" What's up, Mom?" tanya Anindita listened seriously to what her husband would say.
" From now on don't get used to calling me Papanya Rama when communicating with people except the Rama school environment."
Anindita frowned at the words spoken by her husband.
" Why, Mas?" he asked in wonder because he thought there was nothing wrong with his words, is not it true that Ricky is the Father of Rama?
" I'm not just Rama's father right now, Anin. But I'm Arka's Papa too. I don't want Arka to grow up later he feels distinguished because of your name. Better to use the phrase Father of children. Arka I've considered my own son because I've given my name in front of Arka." Ricky explained the meaning of his request earlier. Her seriousness marries Anindita and gives Pratama's name in front of Arka's name so that all of Anindita's children feel close to her and consider her like a real Papa to all of them.
