You Painted the Love Tapestry
Episode 24

" Good afternoon, how are you." said Rendra as he reached out his hand and greeted Nirmala with a helping hand as they both smiled.

" Good Mas Reas.please enter Mas.." he said while being called by Rendra.

Rendra swept the entire room with his gaze.

" Please sit down Mas, sorry can only sit on the floor of ceramic tiles only Mas, because this is what it is."

" Oh yeah it's okay to still be able to sit down, but sorry yesterday you said you got money from your office, why don't you buy a sofa so that guests can easily sit in your house, I'm sorry I asked like this it's nothing just to ask just don't get me wrong and don't misunderstand me." he said with a smile Nirmala nodded with a smile.

" I did not want to buy a sofa for home, because I retained the money for Alya school guarantee because I had to save for Alya's future early on" he said.

Rendra.

" For a minute I'll have a drink."

" Oh, don't bother."

" Don't bother Mas, just drinking water."

Then he left Rendra sitting alone, Nirmala headed towards his kitchen to make a glass of warm tea for his guests.

" I did ask him that on purpose, it turns out I salute him, he is very simple and does not want to live with luxury" said Rendra with a smile.

Alya then came out of the room and stepped towards Rendra who was sitting alone.

" Good afternoon Om.." he said with a smile, hearing the greeting of the little boy Rendra smiled and returned the greeting.

" Evening too.. Here sit near Om."

Alya nodded and still a cute smile was adorning her face.

Then Alya approached Rendra and sat down beside her.

" Our friend Aunt Nirmala?"

" Yes dear Om his friend Aunt Nirmala... "

" To be exact your future husband" she muttered inwardly, but she could only speak in her heart while giving Alya a smile.

" Om don't hurt Aunt Nirmala huh? Aunty is very good, He takes care of Alya and takes care of Alya." said Alya innocently and just out of his words.

Rendra was surprised to hear the speech of the little boy, Alya looked at Rendra, Rendra then smiled.

" Dear, Om will never hurt your aunt, believe me the same Om, Om will also take care of you both."

" Is it really Om?" he said he looked happy.

" Yes pretty boy.." said Rendra while pinching Alya's cheek, seen on Alya's happy face, because radiated from his smile, Rendra sighed slowly.

" I salute Nirmala, for her perseverance makes me very fond of her, But I'm sorry Nirmala, for I'm not ready to tell you my identity yet, let you know for yourself." he said in his mind.

Nirmala came from the inside and she was surprised to see Alya was already sitting next to Rendra.

" Alya..kok there? here baby..."

" Alya wants to sit next to this Om, because this Om is very good with Alya, this Om will also always look after Alya and Auntie, this Om will also not hurt Aunt." alya's plain words made Rendra and Nirmala blush, Rendra stared at Nirmala who looked silent while hiding her embarrassment because the nephew innocently spoke like that.

" Here dear.." she said to Alya, Alya nodded and smiled, she did not approach Nirmala but she headed straight towards her room with a sweet smile after saying goodbye to the two of them.

Silent! there was no sound at all they both fell silent, until finally Rendra made a sound.

" Why didn't you tell me when you got out of the hospital?" ask Rendra to Nirmala.

Nirmala looked towards Rendra.

" I'm sorry Mas, at that time I heard that Mas has a guest, so I undo my intention to meet you."

" I was confused to find out where you are."

" Why do I know I live here ?"

" I'm sorry, Mom."

" Yes, it's okay" he said smiling.

Then Rendra's eyes stared at Nirmala's hand which looked like a dried up scar.

" This must have been because he had been colonized earlier." he murmured.

" Oh yeah, why did your hand get hurt?"

Nirmala looked directly at her hand and closed the scar because of Mira's crime to her, Nirmala stuttered to answer a question from Rendra.

" Oh...This.... Anu's... That's... It's just a minor injury from the office getting broken glass in the toilet not my intention."

" Oh yes, so if you work carefully, love yourself and you have to remember, you still have Alya who needs you very much, so you have to take care of yourself lest you get hurt by anyone and by anything."

Nirmala nodded her head.

" Oh, can I have some water?"

" Oh can be..."

Then Nirmala was about to stand up to get the water requested by Rendra, but suddenly she grimaced involuntarily, Because the pain she felt in her waist was felt again, but he only realized that in his house there was Rendra, Rendra was surprised to see Nirmala holding her waist while standing but she did not immediately step.

" What are you doing?"

" Oh, that's okay, Mom."

" Why are you holding your waist? does your waist hurt?"

" Oh this, maybe over time sitting, was in the office a lot of work, too long sitting may have hurt when at home" he said.

" Oh so, next time be careful not to sit too much, if the work is too much you can ask for rest is the same they at least to stand briefly straighten your waist muscles." he said with a smile called Nirmala.

Nirmala then stepped towards the kitchen to fetch the water request from Rendra.

Rendra stared at Nirmala's departure, he deliberately spoke like that so that Nirmala did not suspect about what happened to him, Rendra indeed deliberately went to Nirmala's house to find out for himself about the state of Nirmala.

" This must be because the two women who had hurt Nirmala, it was not exposed to the glass of the wound that had dried, it was, but it looks like a long nail and Nirmala's sore waist was definitely due to the very strong impact earlier, this can't be left, Just wait for tomorrow I'll finish everything!" he said as he clenched his hands together and saw his jaw move and his teeth crackling with his anger, seeing the person he loved and liked was physically injured, nirmala walked towards him with the glass of water she needed. Nirmala gave the glass to him which contained white water Rendra received the glass and drank the water, he already knew the circumstances of his loved ones he did not want to take Nirmala directly to the hospital to find out what was happening inside his body, whether there was an injury inside or not, if he said his desire to take Nirmala to treatment he would be suspicious, again they both fell silent.

" Well, I'll go home first, because the time has also begun at night, I'm afraid the neighbors will be suspicious, if we do not-no, he said, because you're a woman and I'm a man under one roof."

Nirmala nodded.

" Till the house I'll call you."

" Is my cell phone number Mas Reas know?"

" Yes, I was also given to the hospital your mobile number" he said with a smile.

Nirmala smiled and nodded her head.

" Don't forget to rest yes.if it still hurts call me."

Nirmala.

Then Rendra stood up and begged Nirmala, again when Nirmala wanted to stand to take Rendra out she grimaced, Rendra stared at him.

" You're okay? if you still feel sick you better get treatment, I'll take you to the hospital."

" No need, tomorrow will be healed too" he said.

" Well, if you want it that way, I'll excuse you."

Nirmala.

" Be careful Mas." he said Rendra smiled and Rendra also nodded his head, then climbed on Kang Asep's motorbike and left Nirmala's house to go home to his private house, Nirmala then closed the door of his house, he headed straight for the room where Alya was waiting for him in their private room.
