Ode To Latitude
Arimbi Fret

Arimbi sat in front of the dresser while fiddling with her phone. He had just changed his clothes and cleaned his face.

"Hello" someone on the other side answered Arimbi's phone.

That voice sounds foreign. A female voice but not Regata or her granddaughter.

Arimbi frowned digesting the voice that was on the other end of the phone.

"Hello?" voice over across.

"Who is this?" ask for a voice across.

"Oh, anu .. I am Arimbi dr. Regata. Last afternoon my grandson called through this number" said Arimbi honestly.

"I'm sorry Mom. I am Nina, the housekeeper at dr. Regata. Can I help you, Mom?" asked Bi Nina politely.

Arimbi and Nina exchange chronologies about Mia borrowing a cell phone and contacting her grandmother.

After about an hour of chatting Bi Nina said goodbye because the time showed eleven o'clock at night in Jakarta, which means twelve o'clock at Manado.

Arimbi opens a travel transportation application on his phone. He checked the Jakarta-Manado ticket. Her voice hesitantly pressed the "message now" button"

Arimbi left his phone lying on the dresser. She held her hair with both hands while bending her head.

Arimbi thought of a surprise for his grandson. Arimbi considered many plans in her brain but bumped into the fact that her husband would definitely prevent her immediately. Regata will avoid it, or even more painful this rumor will be widespread in all circles.

Arimbi rubbed his face in frustration.

"What are you thinking?" danu asked while lowering his glasses.

"Tapasha died?" tanya Danu who finally memorized all the names of the actors and the storyline that Arimbi often told.

"Tapasha who?" ask Arimbi

Danu looked at his wife's face for a few seconds. Arimbi's tone seemed to not know Tapasha.

"Ohhh, no" said Arimbi quickly after loading a few seconds.

As a result of thinking about the trip to meet his grandson Arimbi so lost focus.

"What do you think is serious?" danu asked as he leaned against the bed with a cell phone in his hand.

"No mama just did not end up thinking the same socialite mothers. Don't know it, I'm familiar" said Arimbi lying hide his anxiety.

Arimbi couldn't possibly tell the truth. Her husband could be furious. Regata's name was never mentioned in that house. Since the departure of her daughter, Arimbi kept all the photos of Regata so as not to provoke the anger of her husband.

"Yes her name is also the wife of the official. Being in the group is common. After all, the husband's career also depends on the attitude of his wife".

danu said while checking the latest political party news on political accounts.

Arimbi did not respond to her husband. He chose to divert the conversation.

"Pa, mama sleep first. If you already want to sleep, do not forget the same room lights as the bathroom lights are turned off. This month the electricity bill has swelled" Arimbi said, pulling a blanket and sleeping on her back.

Danu just shook his head. Sifaf sparing his wife is very unreasonable. Danu is a member of the House of Representatives and has several businesses. Only the electricity bill can of course be paid. Last month Arimbi was angry because of the bill that was originally Rp. 350,000,- rose to Rp. 500,000, - if Arimbi meets his friends who spend millions on electricity bills, Arimbi may faint.
