THE NANNY
135. Brought to Go (2)

Arya pulled her hand from Andina's grasp. Surprised by the story he had just heard. "Why not tell from noon anyway..." Arya stared intently at Andina, looking at her eyes as if holding back her anger and annoyance.

"Mas.forgive me. Earlier, Mama and I were still optimistic to wait, maybe her Oma Opa was still kangen so invited to play all day." said Andina.

"I also did not directly pas new mas story came because mas has not prayed and has not eaten. Sorry if I was wrong.." Andina's voice was immediately choked because the circle of tears finally fell unstoppable.

"Athaya can't be far from me mas, and I hold this worry from noon because I don't want to see Mama feel guilty....I'm afraid I don't want to eat.hiks," Andina vented a feeling that was seeping on her chest while crying sobbing.

Arya rubbed both of his wife's wet cheeks, instead making her tears continue to flow. The anger that had appeared slowly subsided when he saw the look in Andina's sad and fragile eyes. Arya pulled Andina to her chest. "Honey, don't cry.calm down first.we go to Mama's house now," Arya rubbed her back. Andina just nodded weakly.

Arya got up from her seat leading Andina to come along. "See, I'll take a hape first on top !" Arya climbed the stairs half-run. Arriving in the room he tried to contact Om Agung, his former father-in-law. The number is inactive. He massaged his temple, this unexpected incident made his feelings mixed.

Arya approached back Andina who was waiting at the exit. "Come.." bring Arya flat.

"Mas, I beg you to hold yourself.don't corner let alone scold Mama...Mama's already feeling guilty.so also apologize continue the same me..." Andina looked clear, her face still looked puffy.

Arya exhaled heavily, momentarily closing her two eyes to calm down. "Come..." Arya walked first quickly, Andina immediately followed behind.

"Arya, I'm sorry mama..." Mama could not continue speaking. Marisa immediately rubbed Mama's back, giving her calmness.

"Papa has told friends in Surabaya to check his house. But the maid said she hasn't come back yet, still in Bandung.we're looking where ya..." Papa looked at Arya who was still sitting quietly.

"Ma..Tadi they said not to stay where ?" ask Arya flat. Mama shook her head. "Mama didn't ask that much detail Ar, Mama thought they wouldn't take Athaya for long." Mama wiped her watery nose.

"It was supposed to be Arya's phone first.when Arya's 7 o'clock was home..." Arya said softly, she splashed her head against the back of the sofa, squeezing her hair.

Mama just kept quiet, wiping the corners of her watery eyes.

"Here Ar do not blame your mother.This is God's will. Papa is sure they won't hurt or take Athaya away from us. Maybe they just want to settle for playing with Athaya. Now we think about where to look.you might know a place that used to like to be visited, Ar.." said Papa sage.

"I'm going to look into YZ's hotel, Vita's workplace first. They used to go to Bandung every time, they stayed there.. " Arya moved from her seat to leave.

Andina held Arya's arm. "Mas, I'm coming..." Andina pleads. Arya seemed to be silently thinking.

"Would Andina go with Ar, Athaya would love to see her Mama." said Papa.

Arya and Andina finally leave Mama's house. Arya drives her own car, all the way no one speaks, silent. Andina glanced at the face of her husband who was driving, looking flat just looking at the road in front of him.

The car entered the hotel parking lot. Arya held Andina's hand walking towards the lobby. He felt dejavu, when Vita was pregnant with Athaya, he often picked his wife home, in this marble-floored lobby. Arya shook her head, brushing off the memories of the past that suddenly appeared.

Arya walks towards the receptionist, but suddenly someone calls her. "Aryan...!"

Arya and Andina turned to the origin of the voice. A middle-aged man walked over hurriedly. "Om sure you will come here." looks relieved face Om Agung.

"Sit down first Ar...." Om Agung invites to an empty chair in the corner of the room. "You're Athaya's mother...?" Om the Great looked at Andina who was sitting on the side of Arya.

""Yes Om he's Arya's wife and Mama continued Athaya.so where's her Athaya..." Arya answered. He can't wait to look around.

"Arya, forgive Om for worrying everyone. Om doesn't know that Om's wife hasn't delivered Athaya to your Mama's house..." Om Agung sighed.

"So 10 o'clock, Om left suddenly because Om's friend called to meet at that time. Frankly Om is here to borrow funds to friends, Om's business is declining." said Om Agung. Murat was tired to look on his face.

"Mamaa.....Mamaaa..hwua.." a young man came holding Athaya who was crying when he saw Mama Andin. Athaya immediately struggled to get down.

"Well baby..." Andina squandered Athaya, she kissed Athaya's entire face. Come crying happily. "Mamaaaa kaka tangent Mamaaa..." Athaya cried again, pressing both hands against Andina's neck. Arya smiled and watched the scene.

"Om, continue the story.don't until Arya prejudiced badly with Om and Aunt," Arya focused again on Om Agung, her face back flat.

"Yes Ar, Om's wife said she would drive home at that time. Om will feel calm go, coincidence also hape Om lowbat. Om just came back here in magrib with the assistant who was carrying Athaya. It turns out that Athaya was in bed crying and calling Mama...." Om the Great paused his story, he rubbed his face rough.

"Istri Om even happy to see Athaya crying, comforted. Turns out he's depressed again Ar...." Om Agung bowed sadly.

Arya looked surprised to hear that. "Did aunty hurt Athaya, Om ?"

"No, Ar. He would only be angry if someone interrupted his pleasure. Om gave sleeping pills to bring Athaya out..."

"Since Vita's death, the aunt was depressed due to social punishment. The news and innuendo of the neighbors at that time made him embarrassed and stressed. He took her to a psychiatrist and was declared cured. That's why Om take to Bandung all refreshing."

"I'm sorry Arya....Oh please don't hate us..." Om the Great clenched his two hands in his chest.

Arya nodded. He immediately hugged Om Agung's body, "Arya is equally apologetic."

Athaya did not want to be separated from the arms of Andina who was sitting in the front seat of her lap. Until he fell into a deep sleep with puffy eyes long crying. Andina rubbed Athaya's hair that was sleeping. Kissing the top of his head full of love.

"Darling, I'm sorry.tadi got angry..." Arya rubbed Andina's head with her left hand and kissed her for a long time, as the red light flashed.

"Yes, it's."
