Other Dream Women
Chapter 81. Discarded

"Wjp ... Where are you taking Mom? Why are all your clothes in the bag?"

Marni who was resting in the room, suddenly surprised by the arrival of the Clouds and Mega. What made Marni even more surprised, without saying much, her son immediately put all his clothes in a large bag. While Mega stood in the doorway while leaning his shoulders there.

"I want to take Mom for a walk. You want to, right?" awan replied, still focusing on the mother's clothes.

"Walk? How come you want to take Mom for a walk?" ask Marni with a squeak on the forehead. What the clouds are doing is not what they used to be.

The clouds swung their legs towards the mother's bed after she was done with her activities. The man sat on the edge of the bed.

"I just want to please Mom. Mother rarely do I take a walk? Therefore today I want to take Mom to some place for refreshing."

"But why carry so many Wan clothes? Like people want to move?"

The clouds smiled knot. He tried hard to be as natural as possible so as not to arouse suspicion.

"I purposely brought a lot of clothes because later we will stay, Mom. After all, Mom often poops and pees everywhere, right? So these clothes I use for backup."

Marni was still silent in her own mind. He tried to understand every word spoken by the Cloud, but could not enter his logic at all.

"Here you go, ma'am, don't protest too much. Mas Awan has good intentions to take Mom for a walk. So I should be grateful," Mega timpal said while playing fingers in his hands.

Mega's words do not necessarily remove all the excitement felt by Marni, but instead make Marni shackled by a big question mark. Because it's weird that the clouds are suddenly like this.

"Here, don't think too much about Mom. I have to be happy because we're going for a walk!" The clouds moved from their sitting position. He took his mother's wheelchair and he guided Marni to a wheelchair.

"All ready. Let's go!"

The clouds pushed Marni's wheelchair towards the front yard, which was parked in a car they would use to take her for a walk. Mega who walked behind the back of the Clouds, endlessly sharing a wide smile. He is satisfied because in the end Marni can get out of this house.

Finally, I left that too from my house. In this way, my life will be much calmer. No one makes it complicated to ask to be taken care of this. I married the Awan to be happy and to be queen. Not to be a paraplegic old lady's maid like that!

Clouds, Mega and Marni take their respective positions in the car. After everything was ready, the cloud started to start the engine and stepped on the gas pedal. Slowly, the white car driven by the Clouds sped up and left the courtyard of the house.

In Awan's office, several employees and couriers were sitting limply on the floor. They both bow their heads while holding their eyebrows.

"Rud, how? Is Mr Awan coming to the office today?"

One of the couriers immediately raised his face when he saw one of his co-workers finished with his phone call. The man named Rudi could only shake his head slowly.

"No Rom, sir Awan doesn't seem to be coming today. I tried to contact Mr. Awan but in reject."

"Geez, get to reject? Actually, the Cloud sir has a good intention to solve all this, no? It's been two months now, our salaries have been held back" lamented the man named Romi.

Rudi put his shoulders. "I don't understand Rom either. If this is how we are harmed. We also need to eat and support our families. And if this makes it all messy, right? Where my wife nagging again every day because these two months are not payday."

"If that's the fate of Rud. My wife is also careless just because two months I do not give rations," complained Romi also. "Then now what should we do?"

"I don't understand Rom either. The situation of the company is getting dilapidated after Pak Awan is no longer the husband of Cahya's mother. You remember Rom, when Cahya was still there, there was always a bonus for us every month?"

Romi nodded his head. "That's so thick of Rud but now? Let alone bonuses, our basic salary for two months is still held back," Romi told as his brain traveled to the past where this company was at the peak of success.

Rudi ruffled his hair a little rough. All tired, upset and disappointed as if mastering his body. The two-month salary that is still on hold makes it like a rood job in Dutch times.

"It turns out that different wives have different sustenance as well, Rud and now the company is getting more morat-marit. Where many loyal customers no longer use this service anymore."

"Yes so Rom, a reply to a husband who is less grateful for what he has held. If you obey the eve na*fsunya, the human will never be satisfied."

"That's Rud, and now what do we do?" romi asked increasingly frustrated.

Rudi seemed to think for a moment. "We better have a meeting without the knowledge of Mr. Awan, Rom. We put together a voice to find a way out of this."

"Alright Rud, I agree with you. If we can today also hold internal meetings, between employees and couriers."

"Okay Rom, I'll share in a special group of workers."

Marni was increasingly embraced by a sense of wonder and anxiety when since this car driven by her son did not reach the destination. He who began the journey since the sun was overhead until the sun leaned west, still has not found his destination. Marni felt increasingly distant from her residence.

Mega glanced towards the Cloud that was responded with a Cloud glance. Highlight their eyes as if talking to do the next plan and Mega could only nod slowly.

"It'll be here soon, ma'am. I'll take it easy." Mega held out a bottle of mineral water towards Marni. "Better you drink first. I'm sure you must be thirsty."

Without thinking about it, Marni received the mineral water given Mega. The throat was dry because no water had washed it since.

So thirsty, a bottle of mineral water given by Mega immediately toilet without a trace. After that Marni evaporated more. Slowly, his eyes closed and the middle-aged woman fell asleep in her sleep.

"Good Mas, your mother is asleep because of the effects of sleeping pills that we mix in mineral water. Now we can freely take Mom to the nursing home. Is it close to being our goal?"

"Calm Han, five more minutes we're here!"

Mega smiled widely. The woman was already impatient to arrive at the nursing home soon. That way, Marni can quickly get away from her life.

Exactly with what Cloud said, finally the car he was driving arrived at a parlour in a remote area. The man rushed out of the car and moved his mother's body in a wheelchair.

"Good afternoon sir, ma'am, is there anything I can help you with?"

The presence of Awan and Mega was already welcomed kindly by a forty-year-old woman wearing a wide headscarf.

"I need a minute with Mom. Can we talk?" said Cloud.

"Oh it could be sir, let's sit in the pendopo that is there," replied the Mother of the caretaker while pointing at the pendopo in the backyard.

Clouds and Mega walked behind the back of the caretaker's mother. They also arrived at the pendopo in question.

"Before introducing me, I'm Rusma, the caretaker of this nursing home," said a woman named Rusma introduced herself.

"I'm a Cloud, Mom and this is my wife Mega. While this one is my Mother, Marni," said Awan introduced one by one family members.

"Greetings to you sir, Mom. So, what is the need for you to get here in the afternoon like this?"

"I came here on purpose to put my mother in this nursing home, Mom."

Rusma smiled meaningfully. Indeed, he already understood with the intention of the arrival of Awan to this nursing home. There is no purpose or purpose to the people who come here other than to leave their parents.

"If you may know, what is the reason sir Awan left Mother Marni here?" ask Rusma.

"Look Mom, my life is hard right now. I feel like I can't take care of my mother anymore. Eating me and my wife is hard. That's why I want to leave my mother in this home."

The clouds had to tell lies to look so pitiful in front of Rusma. That way his request to leave the mother in this orphanage can be realized.

"Oh like that?" tanya Rusma. "I don't mind if Miss Marni lives here, but did Mr Awan willingly lose a lot of merit and heaven when Miss Marni no longer takes care of her own? Taking care of parents in old age like this will be a devotion that has the gift of heaven, sir," said Rusma who he hopes to open the eyes of the hearts of Clouds to realize.

Hearing Rusma's words, made Mega stunned. He felt this Rusma wanted to incite Awan to undo his intentions.

"No Ma'am, my husband is not afraid of losing his mother's paradise. Because heaven can be obtained by thousands of ways. So, we are not afraid to lose heaven just because we do not take care of Marni's mother," Mega timpal said with loud susra. That's what made Rusma a little bit of a shock.

"So how's Mom? Can I leave my mother here?" reset Cloud.

Rusma nodded his head. Seeing the response of Awan's wife, Rusma understood that this Mega is the root of all things.

"I accept the request of Mr. Awan and his wife. Please take Miss Marni to a room that only occupies it."

Clouds and Mega both smiled broadly, finally all they expected to bear sweet fruit. The two begin to follow where Rusma is going.

Without them noticing, the woman who was sleeping in a wheelchair shed tears. In her sleep, the woman could cry. His eyes were closed but his heart was torn apart. All of this seems to be a sign that the test of life that Marni lived was so heavy to feel. Especially when he was dumped in a nursing home by the only child he had.
