HURT SECOND WIFE'S
HSW CHAPTER 55. Gala Request
The car drove smoothly on the road. At night the road looks quieter than during the day which often experiences traffic jams.
"The star came to the house to ask where you are. What exactly happened that you had to get out of the apartment?" tanya Gala opened the conversation in the car because since the state of the car was silent, no one spoke a word.
"Actually I'm just upset anyway Mr. Mas Bintang, but the reason I actually chose to leave the apartment was because of fear of Katrina doing strange things to me. It just so happened that my dad invited me to stay with my family at home. Papa also invites Mas Bintang to stay together but Mas Bintang refuses. At that time papa who knew that it turns out Mas Bintang still defend Katrina more than him and also knew that it turns out Mas Bintang has married Katrina, papa became angry. So yes forced papa to hide my existence in order to know who is more important in the eyes of Mas Bintang. Katrina or me."
"Hm, may I also test the stars." Gala looks nodding.
"But did the Star not call you? So you have to find your whereabouts from now on?"
"See, sir, but obviously I'm not using the old phone number. Papa asked for and gave me a new number. He said he didn't want me to be tracked down by Mas Bintang.
"And how did your mother tell you that your sister was sick?"
"Said her mother called Mas Bintang when my number could not be reached. He was confused because there was no news from Mas Bintang that I had come home or not. Finally I remembered Papa Winata's number. So he called Papa's number. Papa told Mentari and I immediately called back to the village."
"Oh so yeah." Mentari. Gala turned her head to see that the papa sitting next to her had fallen asleep. As usual, he covered the father.
"So, thank you."
"Acus?" Mentari was confused as to why Gala was thanking him. It is not Gala who has helped Mentari deliver to the village now. Why Gala is grateful. Shouldn't he be?
"You know before your arrival you never spoke to anyone, including me. If I ask him to talk he just nods or shakes. However, you saw for yourself that he had started talking again."
"Mother's not kidding, is he?" Mentari felt strange, he did not have any advantages. Why easily make Tama want to talk again just because she sees herself.
"No, my mentor speaks seriously."
"How could Sir? I was just a stranger who suddenly came to my father's house. How can I make papa Pak Gala be like that while Pak Gala who took care of him all this time is not."
"That's probably what the power of the mind means. Did you hear yourself, what did he think of you? She considers you Light, my sister and also her daughter who has not been a dozen years ago."
Yes Mentari still remembers Tama called her 'my daughter'.
"It looks like he's still hopeful that his daughter is alive today, and that's you."
Mentari was silent listening to Gala's explanation. For him that hope was impossible to achieve because he knew who had given birth and raised himself. Of course his late father and also Warni, his mother.
"So can I ask you something?" ask Gala expectantly.
"What is it sir?"
"Do you want to help me take care of papa? Seeing your presence for a while has made him develop. I hope if he gets closer to you his development will be more than this. Who knows, you can rise from the slump and live normally again."
Mentari looked at the streets. His brain was slightly brought in to think, but he shook his head not knowing what kind of decision to make. The sun wastes its rough breath. How could he help Gala while she was also still working.
If he accepts Gala's offer, he won't have time to go home. Morning to afternoon must work and night must accompany Tama and even if Gala wants him to accompany his papa at night. Wanting to stop working is also not good for Sarah.
"How can Mentari, can you?"
"Sorry sir I can't. I really wanted to help, but the problem was that I didn't have enough time. Every day I work in a bakery."
"Of the Mentari I beg you. I'll pay you three times your salary at that store. How much do you pay a month? I'll pay upfront."
"Who? Your shitty friend?" guess Gala because she never saw Mentari have any friends except for the woman she met this morning at her apartment.
"Sarah Sir."
"Sarah's name? The girl who walked into my apartment with you this morning?" Gala looks upset.
"Yes sir."
"Oh Sarah, her name is. The girl on the mission of hiding you from Katrina and the Stars?" guess Gala again.
"Yes sir is right."
"Let me talk to him tomorrow. If necessary I will pay him to let you go unconditionally. Give me the store address!"
"But Mr ...."
"Mainly Mentari? Do you really not want to help me to take care of papa? Are you disgusted by my papa like this? So that bad feeling about Sarah is just your excuse?"
"No sir that's not what I mean." The mentari looks ragged. "Ah, well I want to but I can't every day and even then I not only have to ask permission from Sarah, but also to papa."
"It doesn't matter if not every day.2 or 3 times a week is okay. What matters is that you have time for Papa. I really wish papa could return to normal life as before." Gala stroked the hair of the papa that covered her eyes. Tama's hair is a little long because it has been refused when you want to shave.
"God willing, sir, I discussed with Papa and Sarah first."
"Who am I to wait for news from you. Give me the news soon."
"Yes sir."
"We're going to your house now or straight to the hospital?"
"To the hospital directly sir. Said Pandu's mother was already there. Mr. Gala just sleep first. The place is still far away so it's still a long time away. Mr. Gala must be tired all day already working hard and after that must take care of Om Tama."
"You should sleep too. Later if it's almost to let the driver wake up."
"Yes Miss sleep let me take care of Mr. Tama," said the aunt who was still standby watching over her employer.
"I can't sleep in a car like this. At least can the eyes closed but the mind is either banging buana where. Better aunt sleep let me take care of Om Tama."
"Really Non? Seriously?"
"Yes bik mumpung Om Tama again sleep tomorrow so that aunt can freshly take care of him."
"Thank you then Non" said the aunt, leaning her shoulders on the sofa and closing her eyes.
"It seems like my activities are getting busy. O God, let this body be a useful person to those who need me."
"OKAY. Driver speed up the car!"
"Good Den." The driver stamped the gas.
Seriate....
