Unemployment Up Pelaminan
Chapter 70

In the dining room, Citra and Ratna first filled the seats. At the table has presented delicious food, although simple but uplifting tastes. There are spinach vegetables, tofu tempe bacem, fried chicken galangal and stir-fried sambel, home menu that is not less far from restaurant cuisine. Ane just got out of the room after successfully putting the child to sleep and took the time to redden ASI.

Ane said sorry to Citra for making Citra wait a long time but Citra understood. The lunch session began, Ratna took a plate, poured rice and side dishes into it and then gave it to Ane who at first refused to be able to prepare it herself, Ratna then took it for Citra of course the woman felt bad.

“Still Aunty,”

“Sama-sama son, sorry well simple mother's cooking, hope you like mom guarantee it must be delicious,”

“Iya not lazy aunt, this is enough,” reply Citra. He began to spoon the food into his mouth, the first mouth of Citra was silent for a moment, moving his mouth to chew the food in his mouth. The pleasure of spoiling the tongue, this food can treat his longing on the figure of his grandmother when he was alive and living together, such cuisine is always presented at the table and become delicious food. Unknowingly a drop of tears trickled down without being asked, as quickly as lightning the image wiped away him hoping no one would notice.

Ratna who had noticed the movements of Citra in silence, capturing if there was sadness felt by Citra, she also saw if the woman shed tears. There was silence as the lunch session went on, each enjoying his meal in silence.

Long enough the three were in the dining room until after finishing the meal, Ane invited Citra to the living room after helping the mother clean the dirty dishes because bi Popon was still doing other tasks.

“Good ma'am, earlier I said thank you for coming. Last night, I had a conversation with Bhanu about our plan, can you give the man contact? We'll try to call him back and ask him carefully who knows he's conscious now, even if Banyu is not willing to help find evidence if what is alleged on mbak is a lie after getting it we can reverse the situation and pressure him to be responsible, he said,” said Ane explained the plan they will do in the mission this time. Well, suppose they're on a mission. Ane also deliberately changed the call more relaxed with the name I—kamu to be more familiar again.

Sounds easy but difficult if it has been lived, not as easy as Ane said, Andrew is not the type of person who will be silent when someone starts teasing. His own image to date is still doubtful, but he only instills confidence and is confident that Ane can help him and everything goes according to plan.

“OK, hm, but who's Ba—nyu?” the forehead of Citra seemed to be frowning, he seemed to suddenly forget the memory of the figure of Banyu—man whom he met twice, as well as the person who caught him when he came to Bhanu's house.

“Mas I mbak, hm, hm, mas Banyu who met the first time here and mas Banyu also who told me if there is a woman looking for my husband and it turns out well mbak, mbak,” clearly Ane and Citra already remember it.

That man, a different man from the figure of the first brother from Ane. Maybe in terms of physical they are almost the same but from the observation of their different image, Rangga who seemed silent and calm while Banyu has a high curiosity and more chatty.

“Sorry well, I involve a lot of people,” said Ane regretfully, however, Ane can not walk alone he had to ask for help from others and of course Bhanu also allows, and, Banyu also gladly helped for the sake of the integrity of the household of the younger brother.

“No problem, a— I understand, it should be me who apologized for inconveniencing you guys,” reply Citra is as bad as Ane.

“Mbak, have you checked up on baby dedek?” Ane approached shifting her sitting position adjacent to Citra and her hands crept down to touch Citra's distended stomach.

“Tomorrow, I will check up tomorrow,” the smile that Ane gave infected Citra. He could feel a sincerity from Ane, he was like making new friends and maybe their relationship in the future will be more familiar.

“Kabarin Ane, if you need a friend to check up InsyaAllah Ane can accompany mbak. Notar mbak, I tried to contact the man first, who knows in the lift later we try to talk carefully,” Ane type Andrew's mobile number given by Citra.

Without waiting for a long time, Ane called the number, once the call was not picked up, Ane tried again and just the same, the man did not pick up, Ane did not despair he again called the exact third try his call was picked up by Andrew.

“Who?” the man's voice sounded very jutek and gluttonous.

“This who? Know where my number is?”

An unfriendly man with no manners thought Ane judged Andrew.

“Oh well, it seems that indeed you do not like to mince words, okay, I am a relative of someone who contains your flesh and blood, but with a stand you dumped it and did not admit your own flesh and blood even with a stand told to drop the content of—”

“Do not fabricate. I don't know you much less your relatives! Cih, you want to feel me right? Saying fake news and then threatening ends, really old!” guess Andrew was pretentious and as always evasive as if he had done nothing wrong.

Ane laughed softly, “well, it's true you don't know me, but I know very well what you did to my relatives, ah not my sister. Image Hermawan, I think you do not experience amnesia so can remember clearly who mbak Citra,”

“Do not mess around, what do you really want, huh?”

“Simple, responsibility, marry mbak Citra and acknowledge the child it contains is your flesh and blood, dear Mr Andrew!”

“It will never happen, after all this problem is done, I and Citra will never get married and I will never admit that it is my son, he said, you don't fuck around,”

“You seem to be unaware of the mistakes and sins you have committed. I don't know if you are a Muslim or a non, but I do know that every religion never teaches or commands its adherents in evil. Your attitude is not very reflective if you are a gentleman, even you are impressed like sorry, bastard! Once again I emphasize, the law of the sow of harvest applies as long as you live in this world, I do not swear you without I am sure the karma you will get for your actions, this, sure and I pray to God that you immediately realize and admit your mistakes.  Assalamualaikum,”

Without any further length, Ane disconnected the phone. The tail of his eyes caught the figure of a lowered Citra squeezing the link of his own hand. Ane patted slowly Citra—'s shoulder the woman— looked up at Ane.

“Quiet mbak, everything will go according to plan. If all this time he has been scheming to turn things around and manipulate facts, then we must act cleverly, take advantage of the gap and move slowly but surely,”

“But how can we beat Andrew—”

“Can, beware,” Ane took one phone that she hid next to her thigh. The voice of Ane and Andrew's conversation sounded so clear, a smile full of triumph and confidence emanated from Ane's face. “Actually with this recording we can suppress the man, mbak. It's just that we need more evidence so he can't dodge anymore,”

Cleverly, that was the one word that came to Ane's head. The image also revealed a smile without a word hugging Ane's body.

“Alhamdullilah, thank you, I'm more confident that we can,”

Ane replied to Citra's embrace just as tightly.

“From now on remove the doubts that you feel, instill continued trust and confidence if all can be passed, mbak not alone face this, many help you and never feel lonely again mbak, mbak, Ane knows if all this time I have felt in this world living alone, struggling alone and now Ane, mas Bhanu, and others are a family mbak, so do not hesitate, Ane said, maybe this is difficult to believe but Ane already considers if mbak as a sister for Ane, but, too fast indeed considering we just knew each other but there is a bond that comes just like that and the comfort of Ane feel every together mbak,”

The image of the dumbstruck, again he could not speak with the hospitality and warmth of the Ane family. Starting from Ane himself, ane's mother and sister were very open-handed to welcome him kindly not as an enemy or a villain when what Citra did initially was absurd and difficult to accept but with a sincere heart all the family Ane accepted it.
