My name is Ayu
Chapter 74

POV Author

Ayu searches for the phone number of Bi Neneng, her trusted domestic assistant since 3 years ago. Bi Neneng had been looking after Kevin since Kevin was one month old until now. After finding Bi Neneng's number, Ayu immediately called her.

"Call, Bi. Kevin what else?"

"Just took a nap, Neng. It was getting hard to get her to take a nap. Want to play with kittens continue." reported Bi Neneng at length.

"But lunch is over, Bi?"

"Come on, Neng. Satisfaction instantly sleeps him."

"Oh yaudah I think Kevin woke up wanting me to have a chat. Hey, come on, take Kevin."

"Yes, Neng."

Ayu also disconnected her phone. Thinking who else will call. He had just finished his endless work. His intention was to call Kevin to relieve a little fatigue but because Kevin slept better Ayu just call her Mama.

He was looking for a phone to pick up his office to call his home phone in Jakarta. Somewhat old phone just picked up.

"Hallo." said Mama from the other end of the phone.

"Cummer, Ma. It's Ayu."

"What are you doing, son? How's kevin? Are you healthy?" my mother's voice sounded full of longing.

"We are both healthy and well thanks to your prayers. How's your own mama? Healthy right?"

"Mama, Papa and your sister are all healthy. Mama misses you and Kevin. When are you guys coming home? 3 Years you have never been to Jakarta again." now Mama's voice has been accompanied by a soft cry.

"Sorry, Ma. Mama knows that Dio is still going back and forth to Mama's house. I'm afraid I'll see you again with Dio, Ma."

"When do you want to hide from Dio, son? You don't have to worry, yesterday afternoon Dio came. He said he would rarely go home again. Dio will lead his Papa company. Dio order that you go home please tell him. Dio really wants to see Kevin and of course misses you, Yu."

Now Ayu who was busy wiping away her tears.

"Yeah... Ayy? The phone's still on, right?" mama asked after she could not hear Ayu's voice. Mama did not know Ayu was busy wiping her tears that returned to flow.

"Yes Ma. Still connecting. Mama go to Palembang. Later Ayu pesenin plane ticket if Mama wants to come here." Ayu tried to shift the conversation about Dio. Mama often reported the situation of Dio but as much as possible Ayu did not want to hear it.

"Later on, son. If your holiday long wants to go there. Papa is now busy so RW is very difficult to be invited to go anywhere afraid someone wants to ask for an autograph. It looks like an important office. Where now hanging out just again in Rw's office. Just be careful if you tegodain gatel widow who likes to sell pecel in front of the RW office. Mama Sunatin will run out Papa."

Ayu laughed at Mama's words which she thought were very funny. After 15 minutes of chatting on the phone Ayu also disconnected their phone.

Ayu thought back to Mama's words. Dio started leading Papa Putra's company. Does that mean Dio ended up choosing Sheila to be his wife in order to take over the leadership of the company?

Who would want to reject a company as big as Putra Group? Maybe Dio's tired of living hard at home contracting? Eh did Dio come back to his luxurious house again huh?

Sadness again wrapped around Ayu's chest. He had not even been to Dio's house at all during their marriage. Must be very fancy.

Finally after 3 years Dio gave up as well and accepted his Papa company. Or Papa Putra who finally won and managed to control Dio under his will? - Ayu.

Ayu wiped away the tears she was trying to endure but no one still escaped. Sipping water is available on his desk. He has to get back to his job. His great salary is well worth his many jobs. He threw away his daydreams and refocused on the report he was working on.

"Ma, Thunder tomorrow morning back to Palembang huh?" whining Thunder at His Mother. Thunder was sleeping on the lap of Mama Yuli who was busy cleaning her ears with cotton buds. It has been a habit since childhood Mama Yuli always absent her son to clean his ears. The alesannya to be immediately horrified if parents call so the ears must be clean.

"Why do you want to rush to Palembang? You miss Ayu, right?"

Mama Yuli's question made Thunder instantly startled.

You know where Mama's from about Ayu? Did Papa end up leaking about Ayu's whereabouts with Mama? It could be bad if Mama knew then soon the news will spread thunder.

"Why is that surprised? Fortunately clean his ears already stretched, if not get hit by your eardrum, Tur. So, what is Mama's guess? Have you caught Palembang?"

"Dye?" tanya Thunder was confused.

"Yes. If the Palembang people call their daughter Ayu. If in Semarang call her Ma'am Yu. Do you think Ayunya the Dio tuh who has said 3 years is not coming home?"

Thunder breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out that his mother didn't know about Ayu. "Not really, Ma. Thunder has a lot of work there. Poor Thunder's men must handle Thunder's work."

"Yah kirain Mama you already have a girlfriend in Palembang. When are you dating, Tour? You are old enough to get married."

Haven't had time to answer her mother's question came Aunt Lia.

"Aunty how are you? Aunty is also at home in Semarang. Om Putra is left alone. Is it still backstreet story? Pull the thread just." thunder immediately got a pinch from Aunt Yuli.

"Basin a bad boy. Nyindir old man only. I don't know Aunty and Om are filming an Indian movie. Aunty again ran away while being chased by Om."

"The distance Aunty to Semarang all. Run in the garden of Auntie's house. Let Om make it so easy." Thunder continued to make fun of his aunt.

"Ah you can. How's your business? Getting ahead, huh?"

"Yes can want the furniture business Dio is a Aunt. How's Dio doing, Tan?"

"Dio good. As usual, Dio again escaped from the pursuit of complex mothers who want to be with him."

"Is Dio popular among mothers?" still Thunder chimed in the talk of Aunt Lia.

"Yes that's it. His name also has a handsome son, many who have a crush." show off Aunt Lia. Thunder just smiled at Aunt Lia who was so proud of Dio. Guntur knew how Aunt Lia struggled when Dio was down first and he felt very salute to the Tantenya.

"Tan, can Thunder ask Aunt Yuli to cook something for Thunder? A long-lasting cuisine was brought to Palembang, Tan. Thunder bosen ready-to-eat food continues as long as there."

"Why don't you ask Mama to cook you anyway, son?" Mama Yuli felt jealous her son even asked to be cooked by Tantenya not herself.

"Mama buyin aja Guntur Bandeng Juwana 10 kilos to be divided into Thunder employees. Again Aunt Lia's cooking is steady, Ma."

"Yaudah later Aunty make potatoes mustofa yes. You can eat for days. Aunty directly shopping so that tomorrow you come home already mateng." Aunt Lia immediately interrupted the conversation before Mama Yuli nyerocos at length.

"Brittle. Aunt Lia is the best. Thanks to Tan. Oh yeah, don't worry about Tan."

"Ready. Yaudah Aunty wants immediate execution. Uh."

After Aunt Lia left Thunder went straight into her room. He knew his mother would babble because she didn't ask to be cooked. Better to run away than a sick thunder ear.

The next day when Guntur was getting ready to go home to Palembang, Aunt Lia ran after him.

"Turr. Wait aunty."

Thunder patted his forehead. He forgot that yesterday he asked for Aunt Lia's cooking.

"Don't run around Aunty. Thunder forgets the same pesenan Thunder. Good thing Aunt Lia bawain."

"That is Aunt Bawain. Auntie has done a lot for you. These. Fitting, don't care." Aunt Lia handed me a paper bag containing tupperware of mustofa potatoes.

"That's a lot of aunt. Kevin's gonna love this."

"Kevin?" Aunt Lia and Mama Yuli looked at each other confusedly.

"Oh. Kevin is the son of one of the Thunder employees. Really funny. Like being invited to the Shop with his Mama" said Guntur gave an explanation.

"Oh kirain Kevin is your girlfriend" said Mama Yuli, breathing with relief.

"Hush. Mom just haphazardly. Thunder is still normal. Yaudah Guntur left first, wanted to stop by Jakarta there to meet the supplier." The thunder hugged Mama and the Tante.

"Thank you Tan. Cepet's back to Jakarta, Tan. Poor Om Putra is left behind."

"You be careful on the road. Say hello to Kevin."

"Ready, Tan. Later Guntur said that Kevin got greetings from Grand Ma."

Ayu was busy checking the sales report that had increased after last weekend. Many spend the weekend sightseeing into the city and enjoy shopping for snacks at the shop owned by Guntur.

Ayu's attention is distracted when a cardboard box containing juwana bandengs and a paper bag is placed in front of her desk.

"Thunder? You're home yet?" Ayu is happy to welcome the arrival of the boss and his friend.

"Udah. I sent it to your parents. Oh yes, this is in the paper bag there is a mustofa potato made by Aunt Lia. Special to you I request not to care so Kevin can eat his grandmother's cooking."

Ayu's eyes immediately glazed over. "Thank you a lot of tours. Finally Kevin can try Mama Lia's cooking. I'll transfer it to buy banding money."

"No need. My money is still a lot. It was Mama Yuli who bought it. I asked Palakkin to buy 10 kg. To other employees as well."

"Basik you. Say thank you to Aunt Yuli."

"Ready. I'm going to my room first." Guntur also left Ayu who was looking at tupperware containing mustofa potatoes made by Mama Lia. Back when he was contracted Mama liked to send him mustofa potatoes that Mama Lia made herself. Ayu tasted it too. It still tastes good as before. Ah, very sorry Ayu with her mother-in-law who is very dear to her. If Mama-in-law is a kangen especially the same child huh?
