The Charm of Love Amartha
Request a New Motor

"O Allah Gustiii, Amartha!" shouted the First Lady.

"Oh my God Mama! make me surprised," said Amartha while rubbing his chest.

"This is what room did the ship break? oh my, what a mess!"

"All I have done is throw away the things that don't matter anymore, Mah,"

"Yes already live first, later can be continued again, papa already waiting in the dining room," Rosa closed the door of her son's room.

Amartha immediately obeyed the first lady's order for mutual security. After washing his hands, he sat down next to his mother and they enjoyed dinner in silence. There was only the sound of spoons and forks occasionally clashing. Rudy, papa Amartha does not like anyone talking while eating. He said it was not polite. When Rosa was about to finish the dish, Amartha's hands prevented her and asked her to sit for a moment.

"Well, Dad, there's something I want to talk to you about,"

"What's up, honey?" Rosa looked softly at her child.

"This, hem .. ahem..."

"By the way, don't be afraid" Rudy chimed in when he saw his daughter hesitant to speak.

"If from today Amartha ride angkot or ojek ajah how? I'm tired of being punished every day, because I'm late to school, Mr. Hardi just to memorize this face, yes every hour of the first lesson I always do not come, Pah"

"Can't! what if there was anything on the road? nope! you have to be delivered by Mama, as usual," said Rudy.

"But, Pah..." Amartha tried to negotiate with Rudy.

"Don't argue!" snapped Rudy.

"Amartha, there is a term java, alon alon from the kelakson, uh .. lateron, let's slow as long as it survives, dear," said Rosa while gently rubbing her son's back.

"If we change the bike butut how is it, Pah?"

"If we think about it again, then,"

After the conversation, Amartha went into the room to lay down her very tired body. Almost his eyes closed, suddenly there was a kling sound coming from his cell phone sign there was a message coming in. Amartha immediately grabbed the phone and opened a message.

💌 Good night Amartha.

His forehead was wrinkled to read the message. Unknown number. Then, he put the phone back on the nightstand.

Amartha returned to clean up the room that was still a mess.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Rosa and Rudy were sitting quietly in a wooden chair on the front porch of the house, discussing the request of the princess.

"Where, Pah?"

"Where's what?" asked Rudy with a frown.

"About the motor," Rosa asked her husband for an answer.

"Either, it feels to sell a motorcycle is heavy, besides who wants to buy? it's broken so, Mama knows himself the motor papa buy with honorarium papa tube for many years,"

"Yes, Pah .. Mama knows that,"

"You know, papa is only a PNS with a salary that is not how much, because papa does not improve education, papa wants to live as much as we can, he said, papa's got savings but that's for Amartha's tuition,"

"Yes, Pah .. mama knows, later mama try to talk slowly with Amartha yes, Pah? don't think too much about it" Rosa said, gently rubbing the back of her husband's hand.

"Don't start, Mah! we've talked about this a lot, I'm not arguing, "Rudy replied.

Rosa took a long breath. Rudy was stubborn. Now, Rosa seemed to be thinking hard. She could not argue with her husband and did not want to disappoint her daughter. What's he supposed to do?

"Well, come in yuk?" Rosa reviewed the smile on her husband's face and invited him into the house because the day was getting late.

Being a mother is not easy. Especially when the fire country has attacked as it is today. He cannot side with any fortress. He should remain neutral.

Stared at the tired face of her husband. There are so many burdens that he carries alone. Concerns about the daughter alone that makes Rudy an overprotective father.

Rosa remembers very well when little Amartha fell from the swing in Kindergarten, Rudy went straight home from the office to see his son.

"Amarta! where's the pain, honey?" Rudy ran and grabbed Amartha's body. He grabbed her and rubbed her tears flowing down the little girl's cheeks.

Banged forehead and jontor lips, making Rudy could not bear to see little Amartha crying in pain.

"Well, from tomorrow on let me work, you keep Amartha at home,"

"But, Pah..."

"I don't want anything like this to happen again, Mah!" rudy's voice began to rise.

"How about Minah?" ask Rosa.

"Well, how else? after you finished taking care of the resignation letter, Minah stopped working here, you took over the task of looking after Amartha" said Rudy.

"All right..." Rosa complies with Rudy's will.

Since then, Rosa has resigned from her job as a teacher at one of the Elementary Schools near where they live.

Rudy tells his beloved wife to be a housewife, looking after their little daughter. Rudy does not like to be disputed.

Now Rosa changed her sleeping position which was originally tilted to the right to be on her back and looked at the ceiling of their room. His mind began to search for solutions.

Suppose Rudy allowed himself to work. Maybe their economy will be better. Rudy was too over thinking. Always worrying about something that is not going to happen. As happened this afternoon, when he found out Amartha was coming home on a motorcycle taxi. Her face was red and welcomed her daughter's return in front of the porch.

Amartha walked into the house with a bowed face not daring to look at that face.

Rosa stroked her husband's back not to scold Amartha. Rosa fears Amartha will become a dissident child if she continues to be bullied.

Did the incident make her so traumatized? It happened while he was on his way home from the office. He saw a child fall from a motorcycle on a highway near a shopping mall.

Rudy who was passing flicked the speed of his motorbike and helped the victim to go to the Hospital. Seeing so much blood made Rudy a little frightened. Fortunately, the boy's life was saved. The 4-year-old was lying weakly on the IGD.

Since that time Rudy, did not entrust Amartha in the motorbike bonceng by anyone if not with himself or Rosa. And it's been happening to this day.

Amartha was 17 years old. For Rudy, she remains his little daughter who must be protected. If not good at keeping emotions. Maybe Rosa had grabbed her hair because she was annoyed to face Rudy's overprotective attitude.
