News of the fire that occurred in one of the apartment units became the latest news on several television stations, because the skyscraper is one of the many towering buildings inhabited by rich people with thick wallets. News hunters or television reporters even visited the scene to find information about the cause of the fire in the apartment.
At a time when news hunters are busy looking for information about the fire incident that occurred in the Royal Apartment, Arumi is being preoccupied by her activities as a housewife of three twins who have mixed Chinese blood.
Today, the beautiful woman has officially resigned from the ranks of the management of the hospital owned by the in-laws. His resignation letter has also been signed directly by his beloved husband. Therefore, when the wall clock shows at three o'clock local time he is already at home guarding, caring for and taking care of his love fruit.
That afternoon, Arumi was invited to play Triplet on the balcony of the apartment. Deliberately bring them to see how beautiful the view of the green garden in front there. Incidentally, the former doctor's apartment unit is right near the city park that is overgrown with greenery, looks so beautiful and unsightly.
"There has been a fire in one of the elite apartment units in the West Jakarta area. Allegedly, the fire occurred due to negligence from one of the apartment residents who forgot to turn off the stove before leaving his residence."
"It is estimated that there were twenty fire victims, one of whom was killed in the incident. Two of them suffered severe burns and the rest were minor. The victims have been evacuated and taken to the nearest hospital." A female reporter was reading a recent report on one of the country's television stations.
"Bak Tini, please increase the volume of the television!" exclaim Arumi from the balcony of the apartment. While holding Zavier, he overheard news coverage being broadcast by reporters. However, it is not very clear to hear, because the volume of the television is too small.
Arumi's house assistant, who was wiping the table and apartment windows, rushed to press the television remote on the glass table. A rectangular object measuring thirty-two inches was left lit even though the owner of the apartment was outside the room.
"How, ma'am, is this clear enough?" ask him while raising an octave of his voice.
"Take two more volume levels, Ma'am! With such a volume, it didn't sound here!" Arumi again exclaimed. Luckily, Triplet was not asleep. If not, maybe now the three twins are doing the choir, crying almost simultaneously looking for the attention of his beloved mother.
"That's the report I can give. I, Donna Ismawari report from the Royal Apartment." Here is a piece of the sentence spoken by journalists covering the scene.
Hearing the woman on the television screen mention the name of the Royal Apartment, Arumi rushed into the room in a hasty step. It was too hasty that he forgot Ghani and Zahira who were still sitting sweetly in the stroller. Zavier smiled happily as his mother carried him while walking half-run. Maybe the plump baby thinks if he is being invited to play by his mother.
"Mbak Tini, I heard that there had been an apartment fire in West Jakarta. Right no?" asked Arumi to make sure that the information he had just heard was not just a hallucination.
Understandably, sometimes he often hallucinates as if he heard the sound of a baby crying when he was bathing, eating or lying down for a moment on the mattress because he was too tired to take care of the arrival of twins at the same time. So, it is very difficult to distinguish which ones are real and not real.
Tini's mother turned to the source of the voice, and found Arumi standing near the door of Rayyan's study. The woman was quite surprised when she saw Arumi's face turning pale. Carefully, he replied, "Right, Miss Rumi. There was a fire in the apartment ... ." Arumi's loyal assistant paused her sentence. Remembering the name of the apartment unit that became the victim of the rampage of the red jago. The age factor and too focused on work caused the woman not to pay too much attention to what was conveyed by television reporters.
"Royal Apartment?" sergeant Arumi fast.
Ma'am Tini nodded quickly. "Rubber. Royal Apartment. I heard that there were twenty fire victims. One person died, two people were seriously injured and the rest were only minor injuries. All have been taken to the nearest hospital" he said.
Arumi's heart stopped nearing for a while. Suddenly he became weak, the woman's legs were unable to break the body. He almost fell if he did not immediately hold on to the bookshelf beside him.
"Jeez, Miss Rumi!" pekik Mbak Tini when he saw his employer almost collapsed. "Mom's okay?" ask the woman worried.
Arumi nodded her head weakly. "I'm fine, Ma'am."
Worried that something bad happened to Arumi and Zavier, Tini told her employer to sit on the sofa. "Mother's face is very pale. May I have Mr Burhan deliver to the hospital or call Dr Rayyan and ask him to return home immediately?" bargain the woman after Rayyan's beautiful wife sits on the sofa.
"No need, Ma'am. I just need a little break. Oh yes, please replace me with Zavier and take Ghani and Zahira to the room." Arumi hands the curvaceous body of second brother Zahira to the face of Tini's mother. Although the housekeeper was a little confused about Arumi's attitude but he still obeyed the orders of his employer.
Arumi's heart moved to contact Lena, to find out the woman's current condition. However, he remembered Rayyan's ban asking him not to be in contact with Lena despite the urgent circumstances, the beautiful former doctor was not allowed to be close to a former actor.
The woman's head felt dizzy from being unable to do anything. He is in a dilemma between finding out Lena's situation or just staying at home without doing anything.
On the one hand worry about the situation of middle-aged women who have helped him from the insults Naila and the genk, but on the other hand do not want to be called an ungodly wife for violating the orders of the husband. Pelipis is painful when imagining bad things happen to in-laws and mothers continued from the husband. He stretched his hands up, massaging the temples in a circular motion.
A few days ago, when Arumi accidentally met Lena in the hospital, the two women were involved in small talk. There's not much to talk about, just a stale base.
The Flashback
"Oh yes, Arumi, has Rayyan taken you and Triplet around to see Mbak Mei Ling's house? Aunty sure, one day you will feel at home living there. The house is large, there is a swimming pool and the yard is also spacious. So, these three Grandma's grandchildren can play as much there." Lena smiled broadly as she looked at the faces of the three Arumi children.
Eyes narrow, white skin clean and chuppy cheeks like bakpao look so adorable. Truly, it would have felt like Lena kissed the cheeks of her three grandchildren but she again remembered Rayyan's temperament and the man's attitude towards her. So, he gave up the intention to kiss and hug Triplet. Do not want to cause new problems that even damage the household harmony of the child of the husband.
Arumi smiled and replied gently. "Already, Aunt. Mas Rayyan was renovating some rooms in the house to be used as a children's room and mini cinema when we want to watch a movie together."
"Good then. So, you can still do family time even without having to leave the house."
"Rubber, Aunt. At first I objected a little but after careful consideration, it would not hurt if we provided a special room to relax together. The children must be happy to be able to watch with relatives and Father and Mother" said Arumi.
Lena chuckled softly. "Yes .. You are right. In the past, when Raihan was a child too. Seemed happy when invited to the cinema with Papa and his Brother. Although Rayyan's attitude is cold, and indifferent, but it does not dampen the enthusiasm of the Bungsu when watching movies in the cinema."
Arumi chuckled slowly. Then, he asked, "Lantas, Aunt and Papa Firdaus live where after moving from that house?"
"Oh ... Aunty and Mas Firdaus moved into an apartment in West Jakarta. It's called Royal Apartment. Not too wide anyway when compared to the heritage house of Mbak Mei Ling, but quite comfortable to live in both. Sometimes, you play there. Aunty will ask Mbok Darmi to prepare a cheese cake or processed food made from special cheese for you. You must like it" said Lena. Although he knew forever Arumi could not visit him, because surely Rayyan had mengultimatum mother of three twins to not meet him. Either secretly or openly.
