Rangga's Beloved Wife

Rangga's Beloved Wife
Bagas Story


A motorbike stopped in front of a small contract. Do not forget the antique helmet that became the mainstay. A man stopped his motorbike and entered one of the small houses. Before the owner came out of his house he prepared himself to look at the glass first. Trying to bounce yourself to meet that beautiful figure.


Assalamualaikum


He said his greetings before entering into people's homes. Again he repeated his greeting call but still did not reply.


"The passage has not yet come home from work." said a passing woman.


"Oh yeah, it's five o'clock in the afternoon Lo." his eyes glanced at the clock on the phone.


"Maybe overtime times. It's the office guy, dik."


"Oh yes, it could be." she smiled wryly.


"This one is ready, Laras. I see you here often. If you're serious about getting married quickly. Poor Laras work pontang-panting for the sake of his son. Poor Bagas was often at home alone." explained the mother.


"Laras does not want to be with me, Mom, it seems like she is still loyal to her husband. Maybe because I was just a security guard. Not the same as him who is a scholar and office worker."


"It is the woman's privilege, even though her husband is dead she will remain faithful. Unlike men, only one month of widower status he has been looking for a new wife." said the woman neighboring Laras.


Adul only listened to the mother's words. Different from women with men. Mostly she will be loyal to her husband even though he is dead. Sometimes also still pray for her husband to be aware even though he was already in KDRT.


Adul reached into his phone, feeling there was a vibration in his pants pocket. His face smiled to see who was calling him.


"Yes, Race."


"Where areyou? can't ask for help."


"I'm in front of your house, Ras. How come you haven't come home yet? a lot of work, Race, no need to work. You better sell pecel at home and can keep Bagas. From the beginning I've objected to you going to college and work."


"Bagas has not come home yet? he was invited to go with the doctor. Oh yes, the key to the house I put on the door. Just try the check." Adul's hand palpated according to Laras' instructions.


"Please wait at home afraid that Bagas will come home with no one." again he said.


Adul obeyed the wishes of Laras. He went in waiting for Bagas' return. From the very beginning when Laras decided to work he was the one who objected the most. It was not that he did not like the woman to work, but after seeing her condition, Bagas was often left behind. Sometimes if Laras has not returned Bagas tipped with Eva. Adul feels sorry for Bagas not for Laras. Of all that experienced Laras who became a victim is Bagas.


Although sometimes Bagas is treated well by the mothers of the house of Laras parents. But still, Bagas looks lonely. Adul often deliver Bagas where the child wants. If being invited to walk Bagas very happy. Adul was relieved that the child was cheerful again.


Back to the present. Adul threw his body in front of the television. There is no living room. The front door directly faces the television room. The floor is only made of carpet that can be made into a mattress. Adul pull a keropi-shaped pillow. Keropi and Pororo are Bagas' favorite characters. In the house there are only two rooms. Bagas still sleeps with Laras. The other room is just a warehouse. Most of them were Bagas goods when they were babies. Still good and well maintained. Adul just smiled looking at the longest picture on the television table.


While in the car, Rangga and Camila sat down. The one who is currently carrying the car is Rangga. While Camila held me Bagas who had fallen asleep. All day invites the child to play, it looks very happy when invited to a mall that has a playground.


"You know, Mila. I remember taking Shasa for a walk with Ina. He was only one year old, it looks like he is very happy to see the arena of baby games." recalls Rangga.


"Why Ina?" guess Mila.


Me and Ina while trying to get into a relationship without thinking about the chaotic impact of our family. The climax was when I was forced to marry Jihan, son of papa Donald's business partner. I ran away from my marriage by going to Japan.


When I returned, Ina had already opened her heart to another man. The truth is that her sister Ina's former daughter-in-law, Shasa's father." recalls Rangga.


Mila listened carefully to the story from Rangga. He had guessed the storyline of the story of a rich man's son, in a match, refused matchmaking, even escaped from marriage. It was normal that he heard. But Mila did not think that Rangga and Ina really desperate to establish a relationship above the status of a brother despite stepdaughter.


The car swept back the streets. It was dark, they finally arrived in front of the alley of the rented house Laras. Rangga was about to bring Bagas to the front of the contract. But Mila forbids and asks Rangga to keep his car.


At the same time Laras came down from the ojek. After paying the fare, Laras went into the alley. Rangga did not pay much attention to the arrival of Laras. It's just that she saw Camila move Bagas to a hijab-wearing woman. Not too visible because it is very dark. At the same time, Camila returned to the car. Rangga and Camila left the area where Bagas lived.


Laras carried Bagas to his rented house. Not until five minutes he was standing in front of the door to see Adul rolled in front of the television.


Feeling that someone entered the house, Adul changed his position to be more polite. He let Laras take Bagas to the room. After removing the school attribute Bagas as well as changing Bagas clothes to nightgowns.


"Dad ... Bagas wants to see dad .." Bagas's reaction suddenly made Laras stop his steps.


Her tears rolled down her cheeks. As if I could not see the wishes of my son. Since entering school, Bagas has always asked about his father. Laras is reluctant to speculate that Rangga is still alive. After five years, the man still had no news.


"Sorry mother, Bagas. Mommy can't yet show whether your father is alive or not. Let this time mother who doubles as a mother and becomes a father for you. Mother works to support Bagas, so that you are not inferior anymore. Mommy just wants to make you happy, son." Laras hand rubbed Bagas hair


the thin plontos.


Where are you? don't you know your son always asks you? If you're alive why not look for us.


I miss you, my mom. I wanted to give up but somehow my little heart said you were still alive.


After cleaning himself, Laras made tea for Adul. The man thanked Baras.


"I thank you, Dul. There's been a lot you've done for me and Bagas. I'm sorry that Bagas often troubles you. To the extent that you have not been married to date. Do I need to help find the right candidate for you?"


"No need, Ras. I've loved him for a long time, but unfortunately he's never sensitive to my feelings." Answer Adul.


"Makanya dong effort, fight the woman. Is it because you were married to Sofia."


"I'm fighting for it, Ras."


"Keep he said what?" ask Laras.


Adul inhales the aroma of artificial jasmine tea Laras. "I want to go to him?"


"meaning?"


"But you want me to fight?"
