A mother's AFFECTION for her child, it's very sincere. The mother's hope in her child, only expressed through prayers. All the pinta of a mother is the success of her child, the happiness of her child. A mother never utters taboos for her child, does not want to say ugly things to her child. But it is always a good thing, which can make his son succeed and live happily. So did Mother Yudi, she always prayed well for her son. Only the Lord is the moor for the sake of his beloved son, Yudi. But if God has not granted his prayers, his mother Yudi remains grateful, she believes God has a better plan than what she asked for. Yudi's mother resigned the same power of God, even though she felt sorry to see her unmarried child.
At the dining table, Rini was still sitting by herself. While watching the children's behavior playing, he enjoyed the papaya flower ozeng, which was cooked by his mother Yudi. Tastes delicious. This time he tasted such food.
"Don't daydream .... Later on the chicken pat." suddenly the old mother held the shoulder of Rini, Yudi's mother.
"Eh, Mommy .... No, ma'am ..., this is enjoying Mom's cooking." The shocked Rini immediately replied.
"That's oseng-oseng papaya flower." replied Mother Yudi.
"Enak, Ma'am .... I spent yes, ma'am." said Rini, who showed me the ozeng-oseng filling plate.
"It's okay. If you want, you will cook it again" said Yudi's mother.
"Already, Mom ..., already full." said Rini.
"It's okay .... I'm really happy, there's Nak Rini here" said Ms. Yudi.
"Where are you, Mom?" ask Rini who has not seen her father since coming Yudi.
"Commonly, Yudi's father, if he comes here, go around. At best wait for the children to dance on the Theater Stage." replied Ms. Yudi.
"The Theater Stage?" Rini's confused.
"Yes, it's a stage built for children's performances." explained Ms. Yudi.
"Ooo ...." Rini nodded her head.
"Yudi's father was happy to watch the stage like that. So every day here, she sat there." explained Yudi again.
"Well, if these kids, Mom?" rini asked while pointing at the children playing.
"That's Yudi. I myself am confused. The boy of the village he takes care of everything. Discussing himself alone is not able to, even mengurusi others." kesah Ibu Yudi.
"Ooo ..., so they're on to stay here?" ask Rini again.
"No. They are just learning. Later in the afternoon, they return to their homes. If Yudi and I don't come here, the house is empty. Dying if it's noon, the children are playing here." explained Ibu Yudi.
"Wow, ma'am ..., is a house this big left empty?" ask Rini.
"Yes. If Yudi is asked, who built this big house for .., his Yudi answered, for the empress" said Ibu Yudi.
"Well, where is the queen, ma'am?" ask Rini again.
"Well, yeah no, yeah .... People are told to marry also never want." displeased Yudi's mother.
"Indeed why, Mom, Yudi doesn't want to get married?" Rini started to look.
"Don't know. Said he hadn't met a soul mate. If you say, yes find your soul mate to, Yud ..., he replied, my soul mate has been taken by people. Ah, you brat." replied Mother Yudi.
Rini's chest trembled, as her mother Yudi said "my soul mate has been taken away by people". That means what Yudi meant was her who was married to someone else. Really so?
"Eeh ..., Mother ..., Yudi ever tell you what about Rini?" Rini, who had intended to find out the story about Yudi from her mother, now tried to ask that.
"Well, that's ..., if I ask, Yudi when did your queen come to visit your palace? He said this, later if a woman named Rini comes here, she will take care of my palace. So said. Therefore, once I met Nak Rini, calling the name Rini, my heart mak plong. It must be you who will be the empress here" Mother Yudi said.
"Chih .... Mother, maybe not my Rini, there is another Rini who is more worthy of being the empress here. I am old, Mom .... It's been almost fifty years. Not pretty, it's all wrinkled, it's not worth being empress." said Rini, whose heart was actually pounding hearing all those stories. It turned out that Yudi was very much expecting his presence.
"Don't Rini have kids?" ask Mother Yudi.
"Already, Mother .., my son is married, but has not been blessed with a baby" replied Rini.
"Ooo .... I'm still beautiful." said Ms. Yudi.
"Ah, Mother ... so shame me" said Rini who blushed. Of course, Rini's heart became flowering, feeling praised by prospective in-laws who failed.
"Son Rini, if you want to rest in that room, yes .... It's a building for guests." said Mother Yudi while pointing at the building opposite the dining room.
"Yes, Mommy. Thanks though. If Yudi sleeps in which building, Mom?" ask Rini to investigate.
"That's the front building." replied Mother Yudi.
"Thank you, Mommy. Please Mom rest, I still want to look at the beauty here" said Rini who invited her mother Yudi to rest.
Despite being old, Yudi's mother is still healthy and agile. Still looks pretty. Worth it, his son is also handsome, that's Rini's heart.
Rini went around, watching the beauty of Yudi's house. Watching the garden with its beautiful flowers. Although Rini has a house in Jakarta that is big like a palace, but Rini feels comfort and peace in Yudi's house. I don't know what, there's something interesting in this house. Rini is really at home and doesn't feel like going home. Is this the magnetism of love?
Rini stops at the building designated by her mother Yudi, who is said to be Yudi's bed. Rini stood at the door. His hand tried to pull the door handle. Turns out the door wasn't locked. Rini's eyes turned towards the kitchen, looking at the room building opposite her, there was no one. Slowly Rini opened the door. Open-ended. Rini slipped in and closed the door. His heart was beating fast, afraid of being caught by people, later considered a thief.
"Aman ..." so inwardly.
Rini stood by the door. His eyes looked at every inch of the room. The room of an old virgin. But Rini was very amazed, the room was neatly arranged and clean. Not even her bed sheets, nothing was tangled in the slightest. The pillow and bolster are also neat. Really a good boy, Rini thought.
Then Rini saw the wall decoration. There are many frames on display. The room was a bit dark, so Rini had to approach to observe closely. How shocked he was, when watching the picture plastered on the frame was a painting of his face when he was in High School, yes the picture of Rini's face that was smiling, looking beautiful, very natural, very natural, even the painting seemed to be alive. Rini looked at the painting in detail. There is a writing at the bottom, "Let me open the door of your heart, Magelang '88," he wrote. Rini's heart is pounding. His feelings are not out of whack. His mind was shrouded in all sorts of question marks, why did Yudi do this? Why is Yudi putting my face in her room? He's been painting me since 2nd grade High School. Was it after I kissed him? Does his love for me not want to be replaced, so he does not want to get married? But why is this all too late. Why was it never delivered? All of that raged in Rini's mind.
Rini saw the third painting. But the painting is abstract. Hard to observe. Understandably, Rini is not a lover of art, so do not understand abstract paintings. As with Affandi's famous paintings, Self Portraits and the Masks of Life, it's hard to translate by people who don't understand art. Rini shifted her head, also moving directions to look at the painting. After a while, Rini could only see the scratches, only being able to translate what was in the painting. There are two faces, male and female. Like a painting of a bride. Is this also a painting of me? Does this have anything to do with his love? Did Yudi deliberately create an abstract painting so that no one could watch? Do you want to cover up secrets? Or because of Yudi's annoyance that I stayed married? So thought Rini. He's restless, lest this is also a painting of himself. Rini looked for writing in the corner of the painting. No writing found. Rini tried to reveal the painting, to look at the back. It turns out that Rini's guess is right, there is writing behind the canvas. Then Rini lifted the painting, removing it from the nail attached to the wall. Next he read the writing on the canvas.
"Warm campfires on lonely nights,
Reminds me of the warmth of your kiss
The cold water in the river Nirvana,
reminds me of the sweetness of your smile
You said you loved me, you said you loved me,
You said faithful, man,
You said to death ....
Where are those words?
It all turned out to be fake
You've deceived me ...."
After reading the writing, Rini's heart stopped beating. He fainted.
"Grobbyak ...!!" the big painting fell on Rini's body.
The voice was heard in the ears of his mother Yudi. He heard something fall, went straight out of the room, wondering what was going on.
"Le, Nang ..., what happened?" ask his mother Yudi to the children who are studying in the back gasebo.
"No idea, Mbah. There was his voice from there." replied the boy who pointed to the origin of the voice, namely the building of Yudi's bed.
"Try searching!" said his mother Yudi, who also walked towards Yudi's bed.
"Well, that, Mbah. Someone's fallen!" replied the boy who opened Yudi's room and saw someone lying on the bottom floor of the bed struck by a painting.
"Wow, Son Rini .... Piye iki jal?!" said her mother Yudi who was confused, as soon as she saw Rini passed out in her son's room.
"Not calling Yudi ya, Mbah" said the boy.
"Yes, Le .., hurry up!" sahut Yudi's mother.
Then the boy picked up his phone, called Yudi.
"Hello, Mas Yudi .., this is someone who passed out in Mas Yudi's room!" said the boy.
"Huh, who?" ask Yudi who is still dropping off his friends at Taman Awang-awang.
"Anu .., Mas Yudi just talk to Sewah, he knows." then the boy handed his HP to his mother Yudi.
"Hello, Mom ..., how? What's up?" ask Yudi.
"Anu, Le, Yudi .... Here, Rini's son passed out in your room!" replied mother.
"Waduh ...! Yes, Ms. .., I'll be home soon!" sahut Yudi who instantly turned off his HP.
"Already, Le .... Yudi wants to go home. There you learn again, let the waste wait." said his mother Yudi to the boy earlier.
"Yes, Mbah." replied the boy who ran straight to his friends again.
*******
"City ..., Rini .... Why did you enter my room?" said Yudi who had raised Rini's body and laid it on his bed.
"You are naughty ..." said Rini while pinching Yudi's nose.
"That brat is you, going into someone's room carelessly!" reply Yudi.
"Mm.m ...." Rini shoots, her two hands protruding to Yudi, asking to be lifted.
"Rest first .... Let the power recover." said Yudi who let Rini's hand.
"I want to sleep here continue ..." Rini's back to the heat. The two hands that had been raised, were already coiled around Yudi's neck.
"Basic, spoiled woman" Yudi said as he let go of Rini's hand.
"Don't let go .... Gendong ..." said Rini while pulling Yudi's head.
Rini is still spoiling, even now the woman's delicate hand has pulled Yudi's neck. Of course Yudi fell. Luckily it did not hit Rini's body.
"Yudi .., I already know your secrets. I know your hidden stories." said Rini, who smiled broadly, then kissed Yudi on both cheeks.
