THE SNOW-COLD DUDA
LUNCH OF FOUR

Ara opened her eyes, she looked towards the clockwork that showed ten o'clock in the morning.

" Athaghfirullah hal'adzim. Why am I sleeping? Oh, my God, I have to pick up Rere." Said Ara immediately getting out of bed.

Accidentally, Ara's gaze was fixed on a piece of paper on the nightstand. It was a letter from Yoga.

I'm picking up Rere, you just wait here. We'll have lunch together, you look so good that you can't wake you up. Mas love you.

Ara smiled reading handwriting Yoga. He sat back on the edge of the bed while playing his phone waiting for Yoga and Rere.

Ting..

Ara's phone vibrated the sign of incoming messages.

Morning doctor Ara, how are you there ~ Riani

Ara immediately typed a reply sentence.

I'm good Riani, how about you and brother Dean over there ~Ara

We are fine doc, today mas Dean has been allowed to go home ~ Riani

Thank goodness then, has there been any development with his feet ~Ara

Doc, Dean can move his legs. He can walk on two legs even though he still uses a buffer stick ~Riani

I'm so glad to hear that, when will your wedding invitations reach my hands ~Ara

Just pray as soon as doc, next month we move to Jakarta because Dean mas have to take care of his father's company there. I would love to meet you and your daughter doc once we get there~Riani

Did ya? I'll see you when you get here ~Ara

Thank you doc, I have to get back to work. Give my regards to your daughter doctor Ara ~ Riani

I'll tell you ~Ara

Ara stared at the screen of her mobile phone suddenly she remembered with her best friend, sister Leni.

" Oh yeah, how's it going with Sister Leni? Is he married to Doni? I forgot to ask him. I'll call him." Ara.

Ara had not had time to call her until Rere hugged her from behind.

" Mama Assalamu'alaikum." Rere.

" Wa'alaikumsallam warohmatullohi wabarokatuh dear." Ara said with a smile.

" You're awake, baby." Yoga next to Ara.

" Yes, I'm sorry I fell asleep." Ara.

" It's okay, baby, you looked really tired. Is it now gone?" Ask Yoga.

" It's Mas, I don't know why I'm this late." Ara.

" That's because last night... " Yoga paused her speech when she saw Rere who was currently staring at her.

" Why did Pa last night?" Ask Rere.

" Your mama couldn't sleep last night, baby, thinking about you. Mama thinks that you can't sleep without mama, that's why your mama can't sleep either." Sahut Yoga's.

" Rere is fine Ma so there's no need for Mama to think about it. Mama must sleep well so that Mama is healthy, Mama will want to contain baby grandpa." Sahut Rere made Ara surprised.

" Yes baby, Mama is relieved now so Mama won't think of Rere anymore. Now let's have lunch, you must be hungry after studying for a few hours." Ara.

" Ma, Rere wants to apologize." Rere.

Ara turned her body to look at Rere.

" Why should I apologize, dear? Did Rere have the same fault as Mama? There is no feeling." Said Ara cupping her beautiful daughter's face.

" Azzam's talk about papa must have made Mama's heart hurt." Rere.

" Mama has asked for an explanation from papa about it, and papa has told me everything dear. You don't have to worry about this, so you don't have to feel guilty. Mama's good, Mama believes in your dad that your dad won't cheat on Mama. Your papa loves only Mama." Ara.

" Now mending we're looking for lunch so that this beautiful Mama's son doesn't starve." Connect Ara.

" Good Ma." Sahut Rere's.

Rere was in the middle of his parents, he took his parents' hands and walked out of the Yoga room. Upon arriving at the company lobby, they cross paths with Dini and Azzam.

" Rere do you want lunch?" Azzam asked stopping the steps of the three of them.

" Yes, I'd like to have lunch with mommy." Sahut Rere's.

" Can I come with you as usual? It just so happens we haven't had lunch either." Azzam stared at Rere.

Rere looked up at his parents and looked back at Azzam.

" I'm sorry Zam I can't, I just want to spend all three." Sahut Rere made Azzam look disappointed.

" Well that means from now on I'm lonely donk, you don't want to take me with you anymore." Azzam.

" Good Azzam, persuade Rere to take you and mama." Inner Inner Smirk smile.

" It seems that Dini has made Azzam a shame in my daughter's life. He deliberately used Azzam to approach the Yoga mas. As long as there's me you won't get what you want here." Said Ara inwardly staring Dini.

" Would you like to have lunch with us?" Ara looked at Azzam.

" Yes, Aunt." Sahut Azzam's.

" You can come with us." Ara's speech made Dini's eyes sparkle and smile widely.

" It's just you, not with your mama." Ara.

The smile that had emanated on his face suddenly disappeared already. Early clenching tightly his hands held back his annoyance towards Ara.

" How is my mom Aunt? Mama hasn't eaten yet." Azzam stared at Ara.

" Mom can eat in the cafeteria with the other employees dear." Sahut Dini basa stale.

" Yes your mama was right, she could eat in the cafeteria with other employees. Your mom must have missed hanging out with her friends there. It's been a while since your mom didn't eat with them? So let your mom eat with her friend. Isn't that so Miss Dini?" Ara asked smiling cynically.

" Ayeah, you're right, madam." Early Sahut.

" How? Do you want to eat with us or do you want to eat with your mom?" Ara looked at Azzam.

"Don't want it if it's not the same Mama Azzam. You should be able to persuade Madam Ara." Inner Inner.

" Well, I'm going to eat with Auntie, let me have some time with her friend." Azzam's voice made Ara smile triumphantly. While Dini closed her eyes to condemn the stupidity of her son.

" wuck... I lost my chance together with Yoga sir. Azzam bego 'lo. Instead of helping me side with Ara." Early Word in the heart.

" Yes, come on!" Yoga Sayings.

" Yes, yes." Sahut Ara's.

" Come on baby!" Invite Ara to hold Azzam's hand. They look like a harmonious family.

Dini stomped her legs irritatedly leaving the company lobby.

" Dreaming of being a mistress, can't be."

" I miss the moon like that."

" Poor poor only time, sok sok and want to raise the degree by approaching Pak Yoga."

" Substantial shameless."

Various sneers friends throw to Dini. Dini could only remain silent as she continued to move her legs back into her room. The room he will be in last time.
