THREE MEN AND THEIR PAST
The Unexpected Guest
"Mulet!" exclaim someone who is currently standing in front of a woman's fruit shop who is also fixated on the arrival of the person. Rianti himself also looked very surprised when his eyes caught the figure he knew, now in front of him. Rianti was confused, what kind of reaction this time.
"You live in this town?" the man looked even more enthusiastic until his footsteps came in and walked to where Rianti was currently standing.
"Yes, Ma'am, Miss Mirna how are you?" finally Rianti can make his voice. Although a bit stiff because it is still dominated by surprise, the woman does not want to be labeled as an arrogant person by women who she knows.
"Well, you see. I'm fine, "the woman is sitting in a plastic chair in front of a table that is the barrier between the seller and the buyer when serving fruits. "How are you? Are you okay too?"
Just as Rianti was about to answer the question of the woman named Mirna, the thunderous voice of a man, was heard and mentioned the name of Rianti as well which made the two women in the fruit shop immediately turn their heads. "Well, Rianti?" the man also looked surprised until he got closer. "Where are you going? you live here now.
Rianti smiled tipir, the man was her husband the woman who was also in the shop at the moment. "Where is Mirna and Mas Ridwan going? How is it in this town?" instead of answering questions from two of his guests, Rianti threw questions at the two.
"I'll have a family in this town, Ri," Mirna replied. "Say my budhe entered the hospital near the market, from here turn right in the third of the city park."
"Ohh .." Rianti looked nodded. "I just found out."
"Hehehe .. Everyone doesn't know either. So too with your parents. They knew it was just the name of the district, but the name of the village they did not know." hearing the word parents called by Mirna, something hit Rianti's mind.
"What's the same mama Papah right now being on all health, Ma'am?" with slightly quivering lips the question came out of Rianti's mouth. After all, he had not heard from the most talented person in his life for a long time.
"They're healthy, but sometimes they also seem sad because the only daughter went somewhere," Mirna's answer made Rianti's heart ache even more.
"You don't want to go home, Ri? Poor them. Kayak lost you really," now Mas Ridwan who threw questions to make Rianti smile wryly heard it.
"I can't promise, Ri. You know, your old body is now thinner to know. I'm sure, behind his tough attitude, they must be your mind. You're the only girl you know."
"Yes, Ri. Try giving up a little. Lower your ego. I'm sure they won't be as crazy as they used to be."
Rianti again developed her smile. "Look, Mom, you guys go to my store, do you want to buy some fruit?" Rianti deliberately switched the conversation. He was too reluctant to talk about his parents. There is anger and also sadness and disappointment, mixed into one at the moment.
"Yes, Ri. I'm asking for oranges, mangoes as much as a kilo huh?" said Mirna. Rianti immediately provide services. Soon the couple left the Rianti store. They also bought two packaged rice at the restaurant next to the Rianti store.
"Eh, Pah, look at the diner," Mirna pointed out as their car stopped at a red light. The car was facing towards the restaurant on the side of the city park. "Is that a restaurant in town?"
"Ah yes, open a branch here as well. Kok Papah just saw," replied Ridwan after seeing what was shown by his wife. "The feeling three months ago doesn't exist yet."
"Well, Mom just saw it too. How about we stop by, Pah?"
"After going to the hospital, this guy's deket."
The wife seemed to agree and when the green light came on, the car they were driving took a direct right to the hospital. I don't know what would happen if they stopped by and saw the man she knew at the diner.
