Unemployment Up Pelaminan
Chapter 34
The whole family is now in Jakarta to attend an event held by Bhanu specifically for his friends and co-workers. Not big indeed but still can make the invited guests feel happy and participate in the joy of the wedding of Ane and Bhanu.
Bhanu and Ane took the outdoor theme for the party this time, even the clothes they wore were simple unlike the reception in Yogyakarta yesterday. Ane wears a long dress to mint-colored eyes, has a balloon arm cut and the bottom dangles beautifully with the shape of a mermaid tail. Bhanu wears a mint suit and a white shirt. The guest dress code is white and mint according to the theme. Of course Ane looks beautiful let alone a smile never fade from her face welcoming the invited guests. So many congratulations and prayers were given to the couple.
“Aaaa, congratulations Ane, may Sakina mawadah warahmah, quickly loved debay funny well,” Qilla is very enthusiastic and also happy for the marriage of Ane and Bhanu.
“Pak doctor keep my best friend loh, patiently face Ane's behavior sometimes chatty, spoiled even nyebelin attitude he, anyway I should be patient. Happy always love bird,”
“Thank you Qilla, happy to enjoy the feast also well,” reply Bhanu who is subscribed by Qilla.
Erina—the woman was invited as a guest according to Bhanu's promise the other day that she would invite the widow to bear one. Erina came wearing a white blouse combined with long culottes matching the color of the blouse, Erina appeared all white. Her hair was rolled to the middle and put aside a few strands on the front, a thin makeup Erina used to cover her tired face. How not, he began to busy back and forth work and the hospital took care of the work and file transfer Kinan.
Erina greeted the bride, her lips curving upwards forming a smile as sweet as possible so that the pain of her heart could not be guessed by people.
“Congratulations well doc, good luck and soon be given descent,”
“Thank you, Ms. Erina, hopefully Kinan will also recover soon, sorry if so far I as his doctor have not done my best,”
“Ah, no! The doctor had done his best for Kinan,” Erina looked at Bhanu for a few seconds until she turned to Ane. “Congratulations, good luck,”
“Thank you,” Ane doesn't know should reply let alone on Erina.
After that, Erina paved her way towards the table that prepared fresh drinks. Erina grabbed a glass to refresh her throat. Swallowed all the bitterness of his heart.
“We meet again, Erina!” the voice was clearly heard in the ears. Erina turned to her right side and sure enough she met the man again.
“Friends or coworkers Mas Bhanu?” ask the man.
“Ah, I am the mother of one of Bhanu's doctor patients. You?”
“Rangga, the sister of the bride,” well the man is Rangga. Since the beginning of the meeting, the interest in Erina just came to him. Unforgettable, the shadow of Erina's face is always haunting, even the universe seems to support her to continue to meet Erina.
“Oh, then I thank you because I can not stay long, my son is waiting in the hospital, excuse me!”
“Wait!” Rangga accidentally pulled Erina's blouse arm.
“Sorry if I am sassy, is it married?”
Erina was actually uncomfortable with the question but there was no harm in her answering the question honestly.
“I widow son one,”
“Oh, divorce?”
“No but my husband has—”
“I understand,” without having to explain Rangga already understand. Rangga heaved a sigh of relief already knowing the status of Erina even though a widow Rangga did not mind that it was important Erina single.
Erina said no more to Rangga but the man wanted to accompany her to the hospital rather forcefully and Erina did not know what happened to her as if helplessly resisting Rangga's wishes.
Actually Ane and Bhanu saw the interaction of Rangga and Erina, full of question marks but Ane can guess how to look Rangga to Erina is different there is interest from the look of Rangga's eyes like a man to a woman.
Ane did not take a headache, after all Rangga also almost never seen close to women may be the time the brother found a liver patch even if it can go up to the pelaminan.
“Capek really, but thankfully it goes well,” does not feel changing days now show at 9 pm. The event began at 4 pm and now the invited guests have returned home the remaining families. They are all preparing to return home, Bhanu's parents will stay at Lingga's house while Ratna, Rangga and Banyu will stay at Bhanu's house.
All have disbanded, until Bhanu's house told Ratna to immediately rest in the room that has been prepared as well as Banyu. Rangga until now has not been seen the stem of his life, I don't know where the man was. Bhanu waited for his wife to clean up. He took off the shirt wrapped in his burly body really very sultry.
Before long Ane came out in a nightgown, this view was certainly not the first time Bhanu had met, so there was no shame or awkwardness for either. Ane sat at the dresser combing her hair, Bhanu followed and kissed the nape of her soapy neck.
“Honey please get a towel!” bhanu shouted from inside the bathroom. Ane clucked his throat and gave Bhanu— the man without sin to open the bathroom door so Ane saw clearly Bhanu's naked body.
Ane widened her pupils and her lips gawked. Bhanu winks seductive eyes of the wife, “mau take a shower?”
“Jeez, Mas! Close the door!” Ane turns back reluctant to see Bhanu's naked body again.
“Alah, I've never seen. Sook plain really,” sneer Bhanu closed back the bathroom door and continued the shower session.
Ane used mukena to come out of the room to check on her mother in the next room. Ane knocked on the door of the room, apparently her mother was just about to lay on the bed.
“Eh, sorry Ane bother ya Bu?”
“No dong, why deck?”
“Do not just want to check on mom, yaudah continue to rest aja Bu!”
“Iya, good night well deck, rest also tuh mas Bhanu has been waiting in the room is not good youh for a long-awaited husband,” Ratna blinked the right eye, and, Ane blushed in embarrassment and immediately paid her way back to the room.
Sure enough, Bhanu had finished the bath. Realizing the presence of the wife, Bhanu immediately grabbed Ane's body very tightly, not forgetting to give a kiss to all of Ane's face.
“Thank you, thank you very much Mas, love Mas, my heavenly angel Mas, his wife mas, beautiful Mas, just everything for mas!”
Ane laughed amusedly and returned hugs and kisses on the lips of the husband.
“Honey Mas a lot!”
Bhanu lifted Ane up and laid Ane's tiny body on the bed.
“Mas want that again?” tanya Ane swallowed her hard-earned saliva instead Ane did not want to serve just that Ane was still shyly repeating the hot moment with Bhanu.
“We haven't tried in bed! Want yah?” whispered Bhanu with a heavy voice resisting the desire.
Ane could not refuse, not if since the beginning Ane said if his obligation as a wife serves the husband and has the right of the husband to get inner satisfaction from the wife. Suppose the plan is given by Ane as a sign that Bhanu is getting permission.
...****...
At 10 pm, Rangga was still in the hospital accompanying Erina. Rangga was concerned about the condition of Kinan and somehow he immediately loved the little girl, just like Erina, Kinan also managed to win the heart of Rangga even though he first met. Even Rangga is now familiar with Kinan, Erina herself is confused by the closeness of Rangga and Kinan so quickly.
Rangga got out of bed after successfully putting Kinan to sleep from earlier, the little girl whined she wanted to be read a fairy tale with Rangga, with the reason of wanting to feel like other children were read a fairy tale with the father. Erina could not protest or expel Rangga because the presence of Rangga was able to fill the void Kinan felt.
Rangga glanced at the circular clock in his hand he had to turn back now, because Banyu kept asking him news.
“I say goodbye first, yeah. If you need help contact me, God willing I will come and if later you will go to Singapore please notify also,” Rangga learned of Kinan's treatment move from the little girl who told him if she was going to Singapore and Erina also explained the destination to Singapore to him.
“Thank you, but sorry isn't this excessive?”
“Means?”
“We have just known and what you did today I think a bit excessive, I fear your presence just makes Kinan expect more when in fact we are both foreign,”
“I understand, but I did this want to know you more deeply. I gave Kinan no hope but tried to be the person he needed all along. Let me know you and also Kinan, I am interested, but now maybe likes even dear to you guys. Please don't ask why because I don't know the right answer to that myself, but one thing you should know, I'm sincere with you and Kinan, please allow me,”
Erina did not know what to answer, she was confused this was so quick and unexpected at all. His heart has just broken for unrequited love and now comes a foreign man wanting to enter into his life. Erina silent a thousand languages.
Rangga understood, he reached into his pants pocket to take a wallet and then took out a business card and gave it to Erina.
“Save this, please think of my good intentions. I am serious and never play around. Then excuse me, good night rest,” Rangga slipped the card in Erina's hand then turned around leaving Erina who was glued to the place still confused by the current situation.
