My Heart Is Yours
(13) Just Like Someone
The next day at Nara's..
'tok tok tok'
" Naraaa.. You're not at the office? it's already 7:30 nak." - Half yelling, Aunt Sinta called Nara from outside the room.
'clek.' - The sound of the door being opened.
"Nara, are you still sleeping?? You have a holiday today?" - Aunt Sinta poked the youngest's hand trying to wake him up.
"Nara woke up. Good luck, this child." - Aunt Sinta began to get frustrated waking Nara.
'Hooaaammmhh..'
"Nara has been allowed to enter half a day ma, this morning Nara was informed by the office. Nara will immediately want to meet at the Five Seasons Hotel at 12 noon." - Nara explained to Aunt Sinta that she had asked for permission today to enter the office half a day. Nara could not sleep because she was busy thinking about her ex. Nara crying. Not because he wanted to return, just had a longing that had been held back by him and in the end he met his past lover who 'unfinished' made his feelings go bad. He became like 10 years ago when Nara left Rio. A feeling of unwillingness to lose reappeared suddenly. But Nara wants to try as hard as possible to rearrange her heart to accept the current situation. Since it was already impossible to hope anymore, there was no longer a way to return. Nara doesn't want to be a destroyer of people's households. Nara did not want to disappoint Rio whom she still loved. Nara was quite aware, she was already inappropriate. Especially if Rio knew about his life that he was now living. It would only make him ashamed.
"Your tumben is in half a day? This time you are like gini. What's up, son? You're not sick, are you? Is there a problem at the office? Is it because you were told by your boss to go to the wedding reception? Try the same story mama.." - Aunt Sinta stroked the youngest cheek gently and warmly.
"There's nothing at all. Nara just a sauce maybe hehehe kan Nara never take a leave except if pas benaren sick. Mama knows for herself, right?" - Nara smiled while talking to her mother. Nara did not want to burden the parents just because of personal issues that she thought were not important to discuss with her mother.
"Yes son, mama just want to let you know if there is anything or there is a problem you are free to tell the story of your dear mama. You're mama's son. Sadly, you are sad, Mom too. Mama doesn't want you to go through it all by yourself. Especially so far you have helped a lot mama, mba Sarah, and Dafa." - Aunt Sinta knew Nara was having problems. Although she does not know exactly what problems her youngest child is facing, but as a mother she can feel the sadness that Nara feels.
"Yes mom. Mama don't worry, Nara's fine. Anyway mama doain Nara's job so that Nara can be successful so the four of us can be happy together hehehe" - Nara calms her mother. Nara did not want her mother to mind much because of her personal problems.
'momamaa Naaa.. Mamaaaa...'
A 5-year-old boy suddenly enters his tantric room which he calls 'Mama Na'.
"Heyiii Iang mama Na.. here and here go up here" - Nara tried to reach the small body with the help of Aunt Sinta
"Hayooo what's up early mama Na's nyari? There must be a wish if sampe nyamperin here hihihi the basis of grandchildren oma.mmuach" - Aunt Sinta holds her grandson and kisses the gnash of her cheeks that looks starting to contain.
"Dafa wants to take Mama Na to play to the park later this afternoon yuk. Sarah's mother couldn't get Dafa..😪" - Dafa invites and complains to Oma and her aunt.
"Hahahaha yes yes come on, but later go home mom Na work yes. Mama Na today is not much work so we can go home and walk to the park" - Nara rubbed her nephew's head.
"Yeeeyy!!! Asiiikk!!!! Okay deh mama Na, later mama Na pick up Dafa huh. Dafa wait loh.." - Dafa bejoget joget in his lap omanya jubilant because the invitation to play to the park is granted by his tantenya.
"Yes dear hihihi seneng very much you.." - Nara pinched the soft cheek of her nephew who was a little puffed up.
(Early 11:30 on the road)
"Both bu Ningsih, I'm already on the road to TKP hehehe" - Nara uses bluetooth airpods to receive a phone call from a client while driving her SUV car. Bu Ningsih is a Project Manager at PT. The Space Success. Nara made an agreement with Ms. Ningsih by email yesterday afternoon.
"Okay if that's Nara's mother, I'll see you at the Kindergarten directly." - Ms. Ningsih
"Every mother Ningsih.. See you soon then." - Nara pressed the button on her airpods to turn off the phone connection with bu Ningsih.
Why now there is no. as warm as before..
If only it had gone..
Was I wrong with all my thoughts..
If only that taste were gone..
Let me feel the beauty of love in my heart..
The song with the title 'In the Heart Only' accompanied Nara during the trip to the Five Seasons hotel. This song is played through his cell phone. Nara deliberately played this song continuously because the song popularized by the group 'Color' is very representative of what is felt by Nara today. Her name is also female if again 'galau' must have played songs about the outpouring of hearts hehehe.
The travel time needed from Nara's house to the destination is only 25 minutes. It did not feel up and now he is parking his car in the basement.
Nara walked towards the restaurant she had booked herself yesterday after getting confirmation from Ms. Ningsih.
"Excuse me, the table in Nara's name ya mba." - Nara spoke to one of the 1 waiters at the restaurant.
"Please wait a minute, mother, I check first.." - one of the 1 receptionists who answered.
"Let's Nara's mother's place is at the end of there which is special 2 people.."
Without Nara noticing, there was a pair of eyes that accidentally saw her walking into the same dining area. Those pair of eyes were none other than Rio. Yes, it just so happens that Rio is also having an appointment with his co-worker at the same restaurant with Nara making an appointment. Rio did not expect to see Nara. In his heart he was very happy because he could see the face of someone who had been in his mind.
'What a beauty you are, Nara.' - Rio only dared to say inwardly.
(Nara during a meeting with Ningsih's mother at Five Seasons)
(Rio at the same restaurant as Nara, was watching Nara silently)
Nara's sitting position was sideways from the viewing distance where Rio was sitting. Even though it was only from the side, Rio was already quite satisfied to see it. His heart was still pounding like it used to be in school when he first fell in love with his first love. The taste really still exists.
"Good afternoon Nara's mother, how are you?" - Ms. Ningsih arrived at the table that Nara had ordered.
"It's been 4 months and I don't think we met. We better order a meal before we start talking more about the project that we will discuss Ms. Nara.." - Ms. Ningsih is 46 years old. So naturally the aura to mother is more clearly visible.
"Mother Ningsih please order first.." - Politely Nara gave the menu book that has been given by waitress.
Almost 2 hours of the meeting was conducted by Nara and Ningsih. During that time Rio was only watching Nara from her seat. Even he was willing to cancel the meeting with his co-workers on the grounds that there was something important that Rio had to work on suddenly. Fortunately, the coworker this time was very relaxed and happened to be stuck in traffic so Rio decided to reschedule his meeting to tomorrow. Actually, Rio's meeting with his coworkers only discussed about the project they had planned from last week. Projects that have not been running are new plans. So it is not too important that Rio can change the schedule as he pleases.
"So I hope that Ningsih's mother can reconsider the price she has already earned. Because if you use the price from me, of course the mother's company does not need to spend that much money" - The closing sentence spoken by Nara made Ningsih's mother agree to compare the price given by Nara's competitors with the company that Nara worked for.
"I'll definitely consider Miss Nara, don't worry about that. I will hold an internal meeting with my Team first to discuss this.. Then I say thank you first mother.." - Mother Ningsih extended a hand to Nara
"Well mother Ningsih, thank you and be careful in the way of mother.." - Nara shakes hands with her client.
After making a payment transaction for lunch at the restaurant, Nara rushed to the office first before returning home and picked up Dafa as promised this morning with the boy. While walking towards the restaurant's exit, Nara accidentally caught a figure that she felt she knew because of the person's posture. The person Nara suspected of wearing sunglasses was sitting and his head was slightly lowered was seen playing a mobile phone.
'I look like him, hopefully not him. Let's get Nara to the car.' - Nara spoke in her heart.
Nara walked very fast. He didn't want to be greeted by that man if his guess was correct. A few minutes later Nara arrived in the car. He breathed a sigh of relief if it turned out that he was wrong about the figure of the man and just immediately he turned on the car engine to get to the office quickly.
While Rio who had actually realized that Nara had seen him, was a little disappointed. Rio thought Nara would approach him even if it was just a stale base. Apparently, Nara seemed to want to avoid him. Rio purposely did not greet Nara first. He wanted to see if Nara would greet him or not. Never mind saying hello, Nara actually looks to avoid by walking hastily after seeing himself.
'huhh... are you angry with me Nara so you dodge?' - Rio asked inwardly
(Text Message from Hp Rio)
Queen: "Honey, I want to take Raissa to the park near the lake. I want to play Raissa there. Can you, baby? I was picked up by Mas Agus after that you when you're done stopping by to pick us up there huh.."
Rio : "Iya go and take Raissa to Rat's garden. Later in the afternoon after my meeting is over, I'll pick you up there. Invite Sister Yaya so that you do not fuss alone."
The queen told Rio and asked for permission to go with the baby to the park near the lake. The park is dedicated to people having a picnic. It is suitable for children to play there because there is a special playground for children there.
(Morning at 4:30 in the Lake Park).
"Be careful, dear Dafa, you will fall. Don't run around" - Nara advises her niece who looks like she's playing with her peers.
"Yes mama Na... Dafa be careful. hahahahaha. heyyy wait for me" - Dafa shouted while joking with his friend.
"mamamaaa itjuuu mamaaa.." - Looks Raissa is being papah by her baby sitter towards Nara who is sitting on the grass. Nara looked at the toddler and smiled at him.
"Heyy you are so funny." - Nara greeted the toddler who suddenly stopped and was watching Nara.
"Hehehe thanks aunt.let's not go back to mama yuk.." - Her caregiver replied, but Raissa was still silent and did not want to move because she was serious about seeing Nara.
"Hihi you want my acquaintance yes... hello my name is Nara. You name is beautiful?" - Nara changed the position of sitting facing the cute toddler and reached out her right hand to the toddler as if she would like to get acquainted with the official.
"His name is Raissa aunty. greetings yes.let's Raissa shaman tama aunty Nara.." - Her caregiver who answered and helped the little one to shake hands.
"Raissa baby, how did you even see the tantenya so.. Let's try the salaman.." - Suddenly the Queen followed from behind. He was watching the baby learn the way. And upon seeing Raissa stop in front of Nara, the Queen immediately walked over to catch up with her.
"Hehehehe is okay mba, his name is also still small do not understand ya deck? oh you are so beautiful dear.." - Nara spoke to the mother of the toddler.
"Yes he really likes it so mba, if there are people who invite to talk he is just silent but still he samperin hihhi understandably still learning yes dear.. By the way know me Queen, Raissa's mother" - The Queen reached out to Nara to get acquainted.
"I am Nara Mba, happy to meet the Queen. Pantes son is very beautiful, mba Queen is also beautiful.." - Nara acquainted and praised the two children and the mother. Nara was amazed by the beauty that the Queen had.
'He looks like someone, who does.. Nara's? Why am I no stranger to this man's name and face?' - Inner Queen
"You could have been Nara.. I'm sorry can I just call you by name? I guess our age isn't much different.." It seems like the Queen is comfortable, more precisely curious about Nara.
"By mba Ratu, I'm still 28 years old mba 😊" - Nara
"Ah, that's my guess. We're only a year apart Nara. I'm 29 hehehe, can I sit here Nara?" - the Queen wants to sit next to Nara who's already on the cloth.
"Please Queen.. Here baby do you want me to not? hihihi" - Nara wants to take on Raissa.
"That's the same aunt come on. It's already an acquaintance.." - The Queen let and allowed Nara to hold her baby. The babysitter just sat behind the 2 women while watching the little one who was being seduced by Nara.
"mamaa tjutjuk mamaaa?" - Raissa tried to communicate with the 2 women in front of her.
"Dear I sat on the bench aunt Nara wanted?" - The Queen tried to persuade Raissa to sit on Nara's seat.
Raissa seemed to want to be close to Nara and she immediately sat on Nara's thigh.
"Dear dear finally want to hihihi too... Raissa is so beautiful. Aunt Nara seneng loh can be acquainted with you" - Nara also looks happy to be familiar with Raissa.
"Yes, she wants to be with you Nara.. You must be a good person so Raissa wants to be on your lap hehehe.. Usually this child is only close to the house only Nara.." Raissa is a child who can only be close to people he meets everyday. The queen was actually a bit surprised to see Raissa could easily get along with Nara, but it was okay to be nice. Maybe slowly Raissa will not be embarrassed anymore with others.
"The Queen could have. Maybe Raissa wants to because there's a queen sitting next to me hehehe.." - Nara
'drrttt drr..' Hp the Queen is shaking.
"But Nara I have to pick up my phone from my husband first and sister Yaya please see Raissa yes." - The Queen asked Nara for permission to stay away for a while.
"Yes gapapa mba Ratu, Raissa is safe with me yes dear ya.." - Nara talked to the Queen while hugging the little body in her lap.
