The Flashback
“We to Bogor”
“So you saw the car that Bu Nisa brought?”
“Iya Pak car the white color”
“We follow the car, find it until we meet, but if it is difficult we must first get there”
“Where to Sir?” Mr. Murtoyo looks confused.
“Ke Bogor...ehmmm.. go ahead first do not ask much, I first find a place where” Papa Bhanu frowned deeply, he forgot where the exhibition place that Mama Nisa will visit.
“That you are looking for ornamental plant exhibition which is now again in Bogor. Quickly do not use lama” said Papa Bhanu in the phone. His head was too dizzy to find out on the internet. It's easier to get his secretary Ita.
“Now there is Anthurium Exhibition in Bogor Pak” Botanical Garden
“If that I already know, more specific dong. The Botanical Garden is spacious” snapped Bhanu annoyed. He needs an outburst of his anger now.
“Iya Sir sorry, I have not finished talking” Ita can only sigh patiently, he has been commonly scolded by Bhanu without cause. Compared to Bhanu's previous secretary, only she could last the longest.
“Location near Griya Orchid Pak, enter from Door Three, from the entrance gate Mr turn right then turn left, the position is on the left of Pak” complete with direction Ita gives instructions.
“Ya... baik” said Bhanu short and directly hung up the phone.
“Kebun Raya Bogor, enter from Pintu Tiga, later take it to the right and then turn left”
“You must now speed so that we can get there” first
“Take a strategic parking position near the entrance so we can see a new car coming” explained Bhanu while massaging his head, pain maybe because he had not had time to eat breakfast.
Upon arrival at the Botanical Garden, Bhanu immediately pointed to the parking lot near the entrance,
“We wait here, parking behind the car so it does not look” he said quickly.
“If there will be a security guard come say just waiting for the family troupe, give me money so not a lot of crap” he said while saving money on the dashboard. Mr. Murtoyo nodded without asking much, he could understand that Bhanu wanted to spy on Mama Nisa who had gone with her friends.
It turned out that they were not waiting for long, only fifteen minutes, suddenly Mr. Murtoyo shouted.
“That Sir just came his car” earlier he did spur faster vehicles in order to precede the car that was boarded by Mama Nisa and her friends. Bhanu straightened her body. Watching the car that passed in front of him.
“Ikutin his car from behind Yo. but not to be seen, just slowly” his eyes look closely, trying to sharpen the view to be able to see the passengers in the car. For a moment he breathed a sigh of relief, the male passengers sat in front, meaning they were not sitting in pairs. His mind had wandered everywhere imagining Mama Nisa sitting next to another man.
In the parking area, Mr. Murtoyo carefully turned the position of the car so that it was on the right side without being seen by the target car.
“You want me to accompany out Sir?” murtoyo asked, he could understand that Papa Bhanu seemed reluctant to get out of the car but curiosity made him look in the direction of the target car.
“Ya yes.. You try to see first there, buy tickets and others. So later I just go in” to give money to Mr. Murtoyo and lean his body on the back bench. His head hurt more, his eyes felt heavier but not sleepy
Mr. Murtoyo came in throng with a ticket and mineral water in his hand.
“Pak..the entourage has entered, I bring an umbrella first so as not to hot”
“Map looks unhealthy”
“Drink first Pak”
Mr. Murtoyo has worked for many years with Papa Bhanu, he is familiar with the character of Bhanu who is emotional and tends to be authoritarian, and is reluctant to show his weakness to others.
After taking a sip of Bhanu's water feeling better, he initially intended to cancel his intention to spy on his wife Nisa at this exhibition event. But he had come all the way to Bogor, if canceled then everything he did was in vain.
“You accompany me inside, wear her umbrella” apparently although curious but the sense of prestige remains high. Do not let Mama Nisa find out that she entered the Botanical Garden.
Mr. Murtoyo who eventually direct their position in order to monitor where Mama Nisa went. Sometimes even Mr. Murtoyo had to hold Papa Bhanu back from getting too close. They both have to keep the distance from being seen, fortunately visitors are quite a lot, so the distance between visitors is quite solid.
Papa Bhanu looks annoyed, the beginning of Mama Nisa and Aunt Yani walking together to visit each stand, they both look fun to interact and choose plants. To be able to buy the plants they like, they must take a coupon containing the plant code in the stand so that it is not a hassle . Later at the time of exit just hand over the coupon to the officer to be able to get the plants they buy.
But what was feared Papa Bhanu finally happened, Aunt Yani because it was necessary to discuss with her husband Om Rio, finally they were both engrossed in choosing plants on one stand, to choose plants for the garden made in the house. Seeing Mama Nisa who was alone in a different stand finally Pak Teguh accompanied Mama Nisa there. From a distance Papa Bhanu can see that they both look familiar even though they keep their distance.
Suddenly Mama Nisa was pushed by a man carrying a large pot so staggered and almost fell, fortunately Mr. Teguh immediately held it tightly. From a distance, it can be seen that the two of them look shocked because they are in a very close position like hugging.
“Lack of Daar” shouted Papa Bhanu.
“Pak…. Patience... it was tadu because I want to fall.. Patience Pak patient.. lest there be a commotion..please be patient” Mr. Martoyo directly hold Papa Bhanu's hand tightly. He didn't want Papa Bhanu to make a fuss.
Bhanu clenched her hands tightly, her anger had already peaked, but she recalled Juno's words before she left. He could not act rashly as this would harm himself. The anger did not subside, especially when he saw Mr. Teguh who then used an umbrella so as not to overheat, so inevitably Mama Nisa had to be close to him.
“Shortly, I want to go there first. let the man know that I will not let Nisa alone as she” it turns out Bhanu does not want her arrival to Bogor in vain. He had to leave a trace so that his rivals would not dare to disturb his realm.
“You're coming” he said quickly. Take some coupons from the plant stand that he passed without asking further what type of plant. Mr. Murtoyo was struggling to follow in the footsteps of Bhanu's rapid steps, moving from the opposite direction until finally met the hot partner who became his target.
“Waaah Mas here too apparently, what would you like to pick up Mbak Nisa?” Pa Teguh who first saw the presence of Papa Bhanu who was deliberately pretending to be busy looking at plants.
“Wahhh met too, I was looking for the time Nisa said going to Bogor for plant exhibition”.
“Iya I want to upgrade the garden at home” while playing the coupon in his hand, like to show that his intention to buy the plant is true. Mama Nisa looked towards Pak Murtoyo who looked breathless with sweat pouring down. From the gaze of Mr. Murtoyo, Mama Nisa can see the drama done by her ex-husband.
“Mana Nis... the plant you bought, I get now” Papa Bhanu hand outstretched to take the coupon in Mama Nisa's hand.
“No need, I still collect plant” said Mama Nisa cold.
“Sini I bring it, so you do not bother, the car is small so later will not fit the plants you choose” Papa Bhanu took a coupon in the hands of Mama Nisa quickly. Not wanting to leave a fussy impression, Mama Nisa finally let Papa Bhanu take over all the coupons in her hands. His mouth was tightly clenched as if holding himself back from speaking anything.
“Eh there is Mas Bhanu.. wherever Mas never seen" Om Rio who has finished choosing plants with his wife came to join.
“Biasalah still has to work.. There is just something to do when I am old like this” he said trying to humble.
“Iya Mas Bhanu has his own company so do not know the word retirement yah” said Om Rio while shaking tightly Papa Bhanu's hand.
“Ya.. good enough to add, add home, add car” he said while laughing himself.
“Add wife also yes Mas” continued Om Rio while laughing and glancing at Mama Nisa, Om Rio speech instantly silenced Papa Bhanu's laughter.
“Don't add wife..danger later” he said short while looking at Mama Nisa who looked at him sharply, he had read the siren danger sign will immediately sound.
“I say yes first, go to the office first. There will be a meeting later at noon” he said with full confidence, it is better he immediately separated himself he thought.
“Iya Mas... monggo we also will not be until noon, hopefully before this Friday the ladies have finished shopping” continued Mr. Teguh who had been more silent.
“Ya.. I titip Nyonya Mas. That umbrella is small replace it with my umbrella to make it more free”
“Mur.. love her umbrella so that Mom doesn't get hot”.
Mr. Murtoyo was seen gawking at Papa Bhanu's words, then hesitantly closed the umbrella to give to Mama Nisa.
“Bapak gana” said slowly.
“Ndak not Pak Mur.. worn by the father only, I already have an umbrella.. bring your own as well” reject Mama Nisa while looking at Papa Bhanu sharply.
“Take it, I want to go home now, let's Mur we go home, meeting later in the afternoon should already be at the office”
“I say goodbye first well.. good afternoon” he said as he glanced at Mama Nisa whose flat gaze did not change in the slightest.
“Mother... apologize this umbrella please accept, otherwise you will be angry with me” said Mr. Murtoyo quietly, Mama Nisa nodded with a smile understandingly taken the umbrella in the hands of Mr. Murtoyo. She had known her husband's driver for a long time and understood the nature of Bhanu who would be angry if his orders were not followed.
With a rush Pak Murtoyo chasing Papa Bhanu who had walked first. From a distance Mama Nisa can see that Papa Bhanu immediately gave the coupons in his hand to the driver. He had already memorized the cunning nature of Bhanu who liked to manipulate the situation. Mama Nisa could only take a deep breath.
“Waah Mas Bhanu is still the same attention Mbak Nisa when it has long been separated, the dragons there who want CLBK nih Mbak” goda Aunt Yani.
“He's the father of the children Mbak so it's natural that the attention, fear his son not noticed”
“Oh don't so fail focus we continue hunting” Mama Nisa immediately divert attention, she does not want herself to be a gossip material.
Bhanu took a deep breath, his attempt not to show anger was successful. But even though he did not show his anger at the man he did not like, he still felt satisfied. He can show that he still has advantages and power over Nisa. Showing that Nisa is still following her orders and also showing that she is more empowered, still working and has her own company, not a retired person who usually just gardening.
The opening of a work coat that makes him sweaty and claustrophobic. No one wears a suit like him, he's like the wrong guy in the costume.
Ting.. The message went into his hape. It turns out Mama Nisa sent the message. Papa Bhanu immediately smiled widely, sitting relaxed in the car while waiting for Mr. Murtoyo to put plants into the trunk of the car.
“Plants that I ordered do not need to be taken home, I have brought a new coupon”
“From now on Mas Bhanu should keep a distance”
“I no longer want to be in one room or activities with Mas Bhanu”
“Please give me space for myself now. We've officially parted.. I ask Mas remember it”.
“If Mas Bhanu still doesn't do that, don't think I'll just shut up”
“I will report to the authorities as a nuisance to calmness and privacy”
Bhanu was pensive, just now he felt a sense of satisfaction winning a match by hitting his opponent. But it turned out that his victory was considered invalid, he was even disqualified. He was asked to quit the game and become a loser. Suddenly, a severe headache returned. All the happiness he had just felt was simply wiped out.
