The Obsession of Lady Escort
Ole 14 Lies of Siti Rukayah

Shanti gets a directive from a security officer. After feeling understood Shanti walked towards the general section.  There he found a man in his forties.

"Shanti's mom?" ask the guy.

"Let's follow me to Taufiq's doctor's office" the man continued.

On the way, he introduced himself as Mr. Ajit. He claims to be the one who asked Shanti to come via a short message to Wynne. Also the person appointed Kak Opik ordered the flower board at his wedding.

After taking the elevator to the eighth floor and walking quite a distance Shanti arrived at Kak Opik's workspace.

There's no one there. After asking himself to wait and try to offer the man a drink, he implored himself.

Shanti was alone in the room. He looked around and was fixed on a sign that read dr. Taufiqurrahman SGOT MMRs on workbench. Shanti does not really understand a degree in medicine. So immediately he did the search process on his phone.

The door of the room opened, as Shanti finished reading her search results. A woman in a white suit entered.Without awkward he approached Shanti and then thrust his hand to shake hands.

"Anggia Kusumadewi, he said kindly. "But call me Anggi."

"Shanti, I'm Kak Opik's neighbor in the village" replied Shanti.

"Yes, I already know from dr. Taufiqs. My husband," said drg. Angels. "I'm sorry, dr. Taufiq suddenly had an operation schedule. There's a crash victim just in."

Shanti has learned of drg profile. From the search results yesterday. He never expected that the daughter of the famous hospital owner was super friendly. Although impressed very formal. 

Thank goodness Opik got such a good wife. But kok different is not the same as the story of Bu Rofiq to mama ya Maybe sipek in-law to a ghost aja time. People are actually gini friendly, Inner Shanti.

They talk for half an hour. Although more portions of the story drg. Anggi about the hospital owned by his extended family. Also the early history of the establishment of the hospital by his grandfather. Down the business of his grandfather, a large family drg. Anggi is currently one of the pioneers of health business in the country.

"Shanti's old man is coming?" asked Kak Opik when he joined and sat next to drg. Angels.

"Not yet brother," Shanti replied although the question was not clearly addressed to whom.

"It's been over half an hour Fiq, "replied drg. Angels. "Yes yes I go first Shan. There's unfinished work. Fiq's lunch together."

"Yes doctor Anggi, thank you." replied Shanti.

Shanti was confused as to what to say. Only that word can be issued. The arrival of Kak Opik was felt too fast by Shanti. 

"Well, are you big Shan now? kak Opik. "I don't think I'll see you here again."

Shanti was confused by a question she felt had no answer. Or too long if you have to answer. Shanti decided to prefer silence or a grin. Not to mention the next question.

Where do you live now? What job? How are the old guys? Why was her husband not invited? What business is he in?

All the questions were answered by Shanti. It's too hard to answer something he doesn't know the answer to. He regretted why not design an answer instead of thinking about the current look of Kak Opik..

More silent Shanti decides to end the conversation. Shanti used the excuse of worrying about interrupting her lunch plan. Anggi and her husband. Shanti then resigned.

"When the lunch hour is still long, you know" said Kak Opik in front of the elevator door.

"No matter what, brother. Shan-shan has other business as well." replied Shanti.

Elevator door opens. Shanti enters the elevator of the hospital's directors and commissioners. His mind was just how to quickly get to the apartment and forget about the events of the day.

Shanti arrived at the apartment. After taking the glass and guava juice from the refrigerator. Then Shanti sat on the terrace where Widi used to smoke. Soon Wynne follows Shanti in the glass room. He was carrying an empty glass.

*Shan, how was your meeting with Brother Opik? wynne asked as she poured the juice into her glass. "Really people?" 

"Yes, actually Wyn, not wrong. The result is that. She married him. He also met his wife" Shanti replied lazily.

Shanti is disappointed after a decade of waiting for not a single bit of Opik to pay attention to her. He wondered why Kak Opik used to always defend himself. Even Mala, Kak Opik's youngest brother is not always defended like him. Shanti is aware of all her self-obsessed judgments. 

True to the opinion of Aunt Risna, obsession can only be resisted or diverted by forming another obsession. With something within reach. If you can't self-medicate, people who have obsessions and are unable to control themselves should consult a psychologist.

...**...

Since Liske became pregnant, Shanti became the main mainstay of Aunt Risna. Almost every week Aunt Risna sends Shanti as a facilitator of business meetings. Even three times a week. 

The busy work schedule helps Shanti forget the incident of the reunion with Kak Opik. Problems of the Cyclone Mus that cannot be contacted. As well as the terror of ridicule Siti Rukayah who never stopped. 

Siti Rukayah always asked him where the Cyclone Mus was. Shanti herself had been unable to contact the Typhoon Mus for more than a month. Even for a live phone always the automatic voice of the operator is heard. Shanti does not understand what happened to Mus Typhoon. Including the possibility that would happen to him.

...**...

Shanti's phone is vibrating. Unknown number calls coming in. Shanti ignored the call. In addition to Shanti serving as a business meeting guide, she also does not usually receive calls from unknown numbers.

Shanti closes the meeting and submits the next event to the main client as a user of her services. Shanti opened the phone, on the initial wall saying: "Sansan can invite you to go home together". Shanti was heartbroken reading the writing. 

Sansan and Wawa kali Shanti.

Shanti believes the message was from the Typhoon Mus. Husband who has no news for almost two months. I love the taste of Shanti's heart. He sent the location data, then wrote "in 30 minutes".

Shanti stood in front of the hotel sign. It looks brighter than any other area around it. Indeed Shanti was a bit afraid if she had to wait in a dark place. 

It had been over ten minutes he was waiting. At the end of the road, a man ran towards her. Yes it is a Typhoon Mus.

...**...

The Typhoon Mus came out of the bathroom. The long curly hair he was drying with a small white towel. Shanti saw that Mus Typhoon's hair was much longer than she had last seen. His skin color is darker and thinner.

"Bang, you're wearing coffee clothes in the middle of the room!" shanti said as she took out the clothes of Cyclone Mus from the backpack and arranged them in a wardrobe.

"That's all Shan's clean clothes" said Mus Typhoon. "Please Corduroy brown same shirt yes Shan."

"Yes bang, Shan-shan put it on the bed, yes" Shanti said as she stepped out of the room.

"There is no black coffee Shan powder," asked Mus Typhoon.

"There is no bang. Tomorrow Shan-shan will buy. Now there was first. Yes the latte-latte. Bang hp brother already Shan-shan save the contact number of the incoming message." Shanti. 

Mus Typhoon had told me that his old phone Mus disappeared more than a month ago. The phone is thought to have fallen in the river when Mus Typhoon was in Kalimantan. Mus Typhoon has become the central Gapki manager. Currently doing the task of mentoring oil palm farmers in the area.

Not wrong Mus Typhoon was selected, it has been proven he became a successful palm oil farmer. Also the sense of caring for smallholder farmers has been proven. Currently Mus Typhoon has the task of making a feasibility study of simple technology palm oil mills for the improvement of the prosperity of local farmers.

The program carried by Mus Typhoon in collaboration with the consultant office of Pak Harris and Pak Abdi as a supplier of cheap and environmentally friendly machines. The new Typhoon Mus was able to return Shanti's mobile number after meeting with Mr. Harris this afternoon.

"So brother's been there all along? ask Shanti.

"Well, three days out from here, brother invited Gapki to the meeting of the new board members" replied Mus Typhoon. "Well, that's where it's officially inaugurated. Directly assigned."

"Mbak Siti knows where you're going" Shanti asked in astonishment.

"Yes, you must have told him. If not, repress him now" replied Mus Typhoon. "Hey, what's the matter?"

"Not so bang. Siti's mom keeps nanya where brother. Kirain Shan-shan, that's a mockery, because you never came here" Shanti said.

"Where do you think my brother is?" ask Mus Typhoon while joking.

"The same is he!" shanti concluded, "Shan-shan does not know where my brother is!"

Hearing that answer the Typhoon Mus laughed. Then he said, "No longer angry. Just be usual."

"Didn't understand the nature of Siti?" mus Typhoon said further.

Shanti speechless. So easily he was tricked. Shanti did not expect Siti Rukayah to have more intelligence in fooling herself. Shanti hoped that nothing like this would happen to her again. At once he promised himself that he would fight back if Siti Rukayah bullied him again.

"Shan, you're so tired. Want to rest," said Mus Typhoon.

"Yes bang, but Shan-shan takes care of it. Dust worry. Brother finished his coffee first," Shanti pinta.

Shanti immediately entered the room. He cleaned up the pillow and patted it to remove the dust. Shanti was worried because she had left dust on her bed. But Shanti was wrong, the windows and other wind holes were tightly closed. Not much dust coming in.

Shanti was calm, there was nothing lacking with her bed. After making sure everything is in order, Shanti immediately put on a white cloth like last time. Then he stepped out of the room. 

"Where are you Shan?" ask the Cyclone Mus.

"This bang wants to machine the middle space" replied Shanti. "Sama want to tell Kak Widi if brother comes. Let him not worry."

The Typhoon Mus immediately put himself on the bed. The cool room temperature and the fragrance of the room relaxes him. It did not take long Mus Typhoon was asleep.

Shanti moved quickly. Rushing brought him down the glass of used coffee Mus Typhoon to the sink on the ground floor.  Turn off all lights on all floors after making sure the entire door has been locked beforehand. Then Shanti followed her husband lying on the bed.
