My Husband's Regret
part 15's. Meet old friends

Arum is ready with his matic bike. Every morning he always uses a motorbike to go to his teaching place to avoid traffic jams. His long hair he tied up neatly.

Just starting the engine suddenly a white car stopped right in front of the gate of his house.

Arum breathed a sigh of rage. Why the morning should start with a bad mood. Lazily he got off the bike and immediately approached the man who had just got out of his car.

"i told you Gi, don't..."

"Arum, please!" Gio exclaimed. "i just want to be close to you, just give me a chance once."

Gio used to be very understanding, when asked not to approach then the man will obey without many questions. When Arum says he does not want to be disturbed, then Gio will give time to himself to Arum.

But now, Gio was in fact the same as the other men. Always pushy and not hearing rejection.

"we can be close but not to another relationship." Arum said, asserting that he could not be someone important to him.

Arum's heart was storing too many wounds for the time being. Betrayed once in his romance makes Arum until now can not forget it all.

Gio grabbed Arum's hand forcefully.

"Yes I know we approach first, I will wait for you at any time."

Arum quickly pulled his hand. Upset and angry. Gio was imposing his will too much.

"now that you go, I will also leave soon."

"i'm taking you?"

Again Arum can only hold back his emotions. He quickly turned around and immediately got on his motorcycle.

"I left on my own, thanks for the offer." Then immediately darted away leaving Gio.

Arum is too tired to serve Gio. He just wants peace in his life. Away from the disorder of Gio and the other men.

His memories with Arga have not all been forgotten. No matter how hard trying to keep every thing related to the man makes Arum inevitably miss him.

Gio disappointedly got into his car. Though this morning has been trying to wake up early to meet Arum. But only the rejection he got.

Drrr...

On the way, his phone vibrated. Gio immediately answered the phone without seeing who was contacting him.

"What?" Surprised, his foot stepped on the brake pedal quickly.

His phone just fell off. Gio's body suddenly tensed, his hands shaking.

" Sir..." Sluggishly.

"hello.. hello... Are you still there?" The person on the phone is still trying to talk.

But Gio doesn't seem to care. He immediately restarted his car engine and rushed to the hospital where his mother was being treated.

A week ago her mother was back in care because of her condition. The woman was critical for several days. Since his desire to be reunited with Arum has not been fulfilled.

Gio often invites Arum to come to his house, but Arum always refuses with busy reasons. The woman did not care at all when Gio said that it was her mother who asked her to come.

"Where's my mother?" Gio asked with a hunting breath. He clutched the nurse's arm that had just come out of his mother's room.

"inside sir." The nurse replied slightly.

Gio went straight inside. His body was stiff and his vision blurred due to the tears that started racing to get out. The mother's stiff body on the sickly bed left her helpless.

All medical devices have been removed from the thin body. His face was pale and his body was cold.

"Mom, open your eyes." Not caring about the nurses and doctors who were there, Gio cried roaring while hugging his mother's body.

There was regret in his heart. If he had gone to his mother this morning first, he might have seen her sweet smile one last time. Gio did not stay at the hospital because his mother forced him to go home.

Gio could not ignore the mother's request, he went home and rested at home. Pack a few change of clothes for the mother that she will bring during the day. His heart was quite calm leaving his mother in the hospital, as Gio had asked for her ART to accompany him during Gio's stay at home.

...***************...

Arum for a moment forgot his frustration towards Gio. He smiled happily when he saw the Kindergarten children who now began to swarm around him.

They are so cute and adorable. Here Arum can forget all his burdens.

"Mom, want some ice?" Shouted one of the thick-bodied boys.

Arum shook his head. He then rubbed his chubby cheeks with anxiety.

"sad it's still morning, it's not good to eat ice in the morning.here, let me save ya?"

The little boy shook his head quickly, hiding the popsicles behind his body.

Other teachers began to arrive. They started the study session. From singing, reading to learning to count.

Outside the school building looks Miss who is standing, leaning on the car.

"I'm at school. Arum just started teaching."

Apparently he's getting a call. Her manic moved uneasily upon hearing bad news from someone who had just contacted her.

"You wait a minute, I'll take Arum."

Longing to continue to pay attention to the school whose building is not so big. There were only three rooms, consisting of two classes and one teacher's room.

As soon as he saw the children scattering out, he quickly entered the school area. The hour came home, which means Arum had finished teaching.

"Arum..."

Arum who had just walked out of the classroom immediately turned around.

"Long, what's wrong?"

"there's news of grief."

Arum frowned in wonder.

"Delivery news?" Deuteronomy.

Miss nodded while pulling Arum out of the school area.

"wait a minute." Arum stopped his steps, he ran towards the school guard.

"Sir, I put the bike away."

"Yes, ma'am, ready."

After leaving his vehicle, Arum rushed to Rindu.

"what kind of sad news? did your brother get a disaster?" Ask Arum as soon as he gets in the car.

Miss shaking her head. His roar looks gloomy.

"gio's mother has died."

Degs...

Arum. His lips were tightly clenched. I don't know why I suddenly feel guilty. Her hands squeezed the skirt until it gave rise to tangles. Arum remembers, Gio always said that his mother wanted to see him one last time.

But Arum ignored that. He just thought if all was just Gio's excuse, using his mother's name to make himself come home.

"Arum, are you okay?" Worrying Homes.

"yes. what about Gio?"

"So, he called me earlier. Her voice sounded hoarse and I don't think she's okay."

Arum nodded, of course Gio would be very bad now. Who will be fine when left behind by loved ones.

Drrr....

Arum reached into his bag. Raya contacted. He quickly nodded the call.

"mom..."

"Argha... Arum." Seru Raya from there with a voice so panicked.

Arum is not calm.

"what is mama? what's going on?"

There was no answer, only a sobbing and the sound of Romzi trying to calm him down.

Arum immediately turned off his call.

"Lost, take me to your house, okay?"

"loh...we're going to Gio's house?"

"later, I'm afraid something's going on with you. She called crying, please."

Missed a heavy breath. However, he could not refuse Arum's request. He immediately turned the direction of his car.
