NOT PERPETRATORS
Song Lyrics

I got down from the sixth floor through the elevator and headed for Widya's nursery. Arriving there, I already found Rudi who was watching his mother's belongings.

"Assalamualaik."

"Waalaikumsalam," they answered simultaneously.

I approached Widya's mother who was sitting on the patient's bed. "Auntie's coming home?"

"Auntie is not here. Auntie was good too. Aunt's blood sugar levels have dropped anyway. For what else here? It's better at home" he said.

"Oh, thank goodness."

"Important you should maintain your diet and avoid some foods that contain high sugar levels. Listen to the doctor," said Rudi advising.

Rudi who was ready with a bag containing clothes also invited us to go out and go home. I led Widya's arm, while Rudi brought things.

We got out of the hospital and waited for Rudi who was putting things into the trunk of his car. Suddenly Nessa and Dimas approached us.

"Well can you go home, Auntie?" Nessa salutes Widya's mom.

"Alhamdulillah, already, Van," Widya replied.

"Well, Rudi has a boyfriend, right? Soon a ghost, dong?" nessa Goda.

"Alhamdulillah, Rudi got the right wife candidate" Widya replied as she hugged my back. "You have not yet known. Come on, acquaintance first."

"We already know each other, Auntie," replied Nessa.

Me and Dimas are like bumbling people. Insist we don't look at each other. Curse this feeling so as not to waver again. Although it is in fact difficult.

"Well, you guys know each other?"

"Yes, Auntie" I replied.

"Son's Vanessa when to get married?" ask Widya.

"Soon, Auntie," Nessa replied smilingly as she poked her hand against Dimas's arm.

"You guys are quite compatible. Hopefully Rudi quickly catches up with you to the pelaminan," Widya said.

"Thank you, Auntie. Many say so."

And suddenly Rudi appeared and immediately clasped my finger.

"We're pretty compatible too, aren't we?" asked Rudi while smiling.

"Yes, you're very compatible" Nessa praised.

Unlike the facial expression of Rudi and Nessa, Dimas and I just flinch, trying not to look at each other.

"Yes, already, we go home first, huh? We still have events" Nessa said.

Dimas and Nessa got into the car and got out of the parking lot. So did we, who also got into the car and went straight to Rudi's house.

***

We arrived at a large and large house. It's interesting, but not so great. This house may be deliberately designed in a simple style. However, it looks very beautiful and comfortable, with a fairly spacious garden on its side. This house looks fresh and beautiful.

A security guard opened the gate. Rudi also brought his car in. Then we got out of the car. Rudi rang the bell, until someone opened the door of the house.

"Well, Mom's home? Thank God" said a woman I estimate is in her 30s.

"Prepare dinner for us" Rudi ordered the woman who opened the door.

"Ready, Mas!" he said as he raised his hand, saluting Rudi.

We went in and sat down on the sofa.

"Ratmi, ask Mr. Yusuf to remove the items in the trunk of the car," Rudi ordered again.

"Ready, Commander!" Again Ratmi raised her palm to the temple.

I smiled amusedly at Ratmi's behavior. He was very obedient to Rudi's orders.

"Name, Ratmi. She's one of the housekeepers here." Widya's mom told me.

I nodded in understanding.

"This is our home. Not fancy, but comfortable, right?"

"Yes, Auntie. The air here is also quite cool and beautiful. Like living in the countryside."

"May Nak Imania be at home here later," said Bu Widya.

It makes me feel more awkward. Rudi who sat opposite me also glanced at me while smiling.

Adzan maghrib. We prayed at Rudi's house. To be honest, I feel calm and comfortable here. Ms. Widya treated me like her own daughter, while Rudi appreciated me so much.

After praying together, we ate together. The menu presented is quite simple. Very different from what I was thinking. Rudi is a famous restaurant owner, but at home, he eats with a menu like people in general. Very far from my expectations.

"Thank you, Ratmi," Widya said.

"Ratmi, vegetable soup for Mom is made specifically, right?"

"Excite, Mas. All for the doctor's prescription" replied Ratmi with a smile.

"Mother, forgive Rudi, will you? At this time, you need to keep food intake. Later, if your sugar levels are normal again, you are free to eat anything," said Rudi.

"It's okay, son. What's important is that I can see you happy with my son Imania. That's enough to spur mom's spirit to heal."

"really. I need to heal!" said Rudi while holding the palm of his mother's hand.

I smile every time I see the closeness of the two of them. He made a special admiration for Rudi. A man who is responsible and devoted to parents. Rudi is a man who must be very desirable to women. However, I have not coveted him. I don't know when I can love him.

***

Eight o'clock in the night, Rudi drove me home. In the car, I unceasingly admired Rudi's figure.

"Don't look at me like that. Later I will be GR," said Rudi.

His words embarrassed me. "You are a great man" I said.

"really? Don't praise me too much. This car will fly, Imania."

I laughed a little at his jokes. "Seriously, Rud."

"I'm serious too. This car can fly if you keep praising me."

"I admire you, Rud."

"I admire you too, Imania."

"Seriously, Rud."

"Yes, it's me seriously."

I pursed my lips, responding to Rudi's muttering.

"Imania, you live your life steadfastly. Isn't that great?"

"But you're better. You worked hard since childhood. You are also very devoted to your mother. Until your mother never stopped saying proud to have you. So do I," I said.

"You're proud of me?" tanyakanya.

"Hm ...." I'm nodding.

"But you don't love me yet, do you?"

Rudi's question made me wooch. I looked at him in wonder.

"I know, you accepted me only half-heartedly. But I will make you fall in love with me as a whole."

"Rudi."

Rudi looked at me while smiling. "I can make you fall in love with me, even if you don't love me." Then Rudi looked straight ahead.

"Rudi."

"Hm ...."

"Your words are like the lyrics of a song."

Rudi laughed, then said, "Right. That's the song lyrics, ha-ha."
