Renjana Song
Pilu

Never imagined by Ranum, after five more years passed, that night he finally met the figure of the man who had decorated his days long ago.

''El, why are you, son? Where does it hurt, dear? You're okay, right?'' ranum said in panic. He ran to his son when he was told that Elzein had been in an accident by one of the waiters at Yuda's cafe when he finished changing.

''Quiet, Ranum.'' Yuda said.

''So the Goddess told me that El was hurt. Where's the pain, son?'' obviously Ranum with an anxious look on his face.

''It's fine, Num. Be calm. You can see for yourself, right?'' yuda replied trying to calm Ranum who looked confused.

''Yes, mama. El is not sick. Just a normal small wound later will also heal soon, Elzein replied with a smile floating on his handsome face.

Ever since he arrived at that place, Ranum had been completely unaware of who the male figure that was among them was. A man who was none other than the one who had injured his son, he was too anxious and panicked about Elzein's condition so did not care much about the situation around him. After making sure that Elzein is okay, Ranum just realized one thing that now there is someone else among them. He lifted his face and looked at the man.

The deg!

For a moment his heart seemed to stop beating. After that afternoon in the office, he had to meet the man again.

''Game?'' muttered Ranum with a sense of shock that could not be covered from her beautiful face.

The man was just silent. It was cold, and his facial lines were starting to harden.

''You know?'' ask Yuda to Ranum.

Ranum nodded with hesitation.

For a moment they all fell silent, until the question of Elzein spread a moment of silence created between them.

''This mama is the handsome papa El told mama at that time. Mama remember right?'' ask Elzein.

Ranum's growing unmoved. His mouth suddenly felt stiff and dull.

''Hello papa handsome, we meet again.'' said Elzein innocently.

''Oh yes, introduce this is mama El, the most beautiful mama in the world that El dearest.'' he said while pointing at Ranum who was still frozen.

''And this is papa Yuda.'' El introduced one by one the adults who were nearby to Agam.

''Elzein!'' call Ranum with a slightly raised tone intonation and it managed to make Elzein instantly bend his handsome face and hide behind the chest of the field belonging to Yuda. If his mother called him with such intonation, he immediately understood that there was a mistake he had made at that time. The boy realized that his mother's tone was not as usual. However, Elzein did not know what he had done wrong, making his mother look so angry.

''So, this is your son?'' ask Agam with that cynical sounding.

''Worth it.'' he said again with a fairly dismissive tone. He crossed his hands on his chest.

''Which other man have you managed to deceive with your ruse?'' added Agam with a tone that is quite cold and deadly.

''Don't talk to you!'' said Yuda who felt he could not hear what Agam said.

''Cih!'' decak Agam's.

''If you are an adult man, it is not appropriate to demean a woman with such words.''

''Have you never been taught the ethics to respect a woman!'' yuda's annoyance began to get carried away by emotions.

''Price?'' said Agam in a tone that sounded so demeaning.

''Bad!'' said Yuda began not to be able to control his emotions.

''There's El here and we're still in the cafe!'' Ranum.

Hearing what Ranum said, Yuda began to loosen his fist and then floated it into the air, after which his hand was clenched tightly until it looked a little pale.

''You better get out of here. The exit is over there. Before I change my mind, Yuda said to Agam in a commanding tone.

Agam immediately walked out of the cafe owned by Yuda with anger that was so explosive. I don't know why he felt so angry and upset.

After Agam died from Yuda's cafe, things began to calm down again. Luckily the situation that had stiffened near the exit of the cafe was not the least disturbing the visitors who were there.

''You guys are okay, right?'' ask Yuda to make sure.

''It's okay, Jud. We're doing just fine. Thank you, replied Ranum.

''Who was that guy actually?'' ask Yuda who is still a little emotional.

''He is my new boss in the office Ranum replied honestly.

Hearing Ranum's answer, Yuda knew that something was hidden by his best friend behind the bitter tone that came out of his best friend's mouth. However, he did not want to force Ranum to tell him the truth for now. He would rather be quiet and not ask any more questions.

''El, we go home now son.'' said Ranum back.

''I'm delivery!'' yuda quickly.

''No need, Yud. I brought my own car said Ranum.

From the back door came Tomi, Yuda's assistant in the cafe.

''Mbak Ranum, it looks like the rear tire of the car mbak Ranum deflated.'' said Tomi.

''Jeez!'' said Ranum by exhaling his breath rough.

''This time I did not accept rejection. All of us stop by the hospital to check on Elzein, afraid it will be finished until late.'' said Yuda.

''Then, cafe?'' ask Ranum.

''Calm down, there's Tomi.'' Yuda said as he glanced at Tomi.

Tomi also understood.

''How's El? Papa Yuda take you to the hospital first huh?'' ask Yuda to Elzein.

Elzein nodded his head in approval of Judah.

''But?'' ranum hesitated a little.

''Let your car be put here first, tomorrow morning I will call the workshop person to check it. After that, let my employees take your car to your office.''

''Alright.'' Ranum replied in the end.

The dim night light is now beginning to fade. The ceiling of the night began to appear dark and leave silence.

Elzein was asleep in the arms of Ranum. After returning home from the hospital to check his condition, Elzein is now asleep.

Ranum recalled his meeting with Agam. Back in his head about the story that you forced to finish on the night of the new year, even though it was raging in my head. Here, again he wants to make it clear that there is still a longing to greet you, not you. Simple yes happy me, your return was never I wait, but thank you for greeting first even with words that can make me confused.
