Immediately I parked my bike next to the bike. I also walked towards the office.
" Karin, how are you?" asked Ajeng who immediately hugged me when I entered the office.
" I'm good, Ma'am!" I answered her embrace.
" I miss you, same with you!" said Ajeng who had let go of his embrace.
" Yes, me too" I replied with a smile.
" We are in your room, " said Ajeng who directly guided my hand.
We both walked into my room, which was only a few meters away from the display room.
" Sit, Ma'am!" I let Ajeng sit on the bench.
" Karin, I know that Ardi likes you" Ajeng said
I was surprised to hear Ajeng's words, how did he know that Ardi liked me?
" Every day, he goes to the office looking for your whereabouts on me. " Ajeng looks grim when telling Ardi who often looks for me.
" But, Ma'am! I don't like bang Ardi, "I said evasively. For fear of Ajeng being misunderstood by me.
" Ardi himself admitted that he likes you."
" What?" many surprised.
" Yes, he himself confessed in front of me. If he loves you so much. Tried to contact us many times, but you didn't respond." Ajeng closed his eyes, he tried to strengthen his heart when he told him about Ardi's feelings." At first I hated you, and let him not know where you are. I said to all employees, if Ardi is looking for you, I said no one knows" Ajeng said with a look of regret.
" oh, great! I don't have to worry anymore, "I said I felt relieved.
" But Karina, she's such a frustrated person. Every day look for your whereabouts, until it's to the boss."
I also rubbed my forehead which felt dizzy.
" What's wrong with you, Karin?" ask the Ajeng who approached me immediately.
" I want to forget my husband's family, Ma'am!" I said as I closed my eyes.
" But I saw that there was sincerity in Ardi's heart, he used to act like that to me. I'm sure she loves you very much, Karina." Ajeng.
No tears began to wet my eyelids.
" I'm traumatized, Ma'am!" I cried in front of Ajeng. " There has been enough treatment for my husband's family, for me. Moreover, when my mother-in-law tried to kill my son," I cried as I covered my face with my palms.
" What?" Ajeng was surprised to hear my words. " Why don't you tell me the same?" ask the teacher with a caring face.
" I'm sorry Ma'am, you know about your problem." I raised my face.
" I'm the one who's sorry, I should have come looking for your sister's house. I'll help you anyway" Ajeng said
" Yes, it's nothing. I just want my whereabouts unknown to Bang Ardi."
" How's your son doing, then?" ask Ajeng
" He's healthy, and so smart."
" Oh, thank God" said Ajeng as he stroked his chest.
" Karina, I don't want to interfere in your affairs. It's just, I feel sorry to see Ardi like a frustrated person. Every day come to the office, ask the employees who come in the morning." Ajeng.
I saw honesty in both eyes of Ajeng, he knew Ardi very well. And I admit, if Ardi's attitude is very different from Rudi's.
But again, he still had a bloodline with Rudi. I began to think twice about accepting his love
After reporting all about Ardi, now Ajeng said goodbye to return to the office.
Then I continued my work, checking all the books.
Once again I thought of Ardi, is there a man who loves me so much?
I can't believe it, because all this time I've only seen Rudi's annoying figure. The world feels narrow to me. I could not feel the tenderness of a man's heart.
" Oh my God, am I evil?" I started to massage my forehead.
But what about Ambar's mom? I haven't heard from him in two years. What has bang Ardi done to her? Was what happened yesterday part of their plan, to eliminate my son?
Ah, but when I heard Ajeng's explanation, I thought that Ardi really loved me.
By late afternoon I was doing all my work. After that, I rushed to the motor park.
I drove my bike to my house. All the way I missed Arjuna. Missed her laughter, her innocence and her indulgence.
It only took me ten minutes, I got home. I saw Arjuna playing with Keysa and Keyla.
" Big boy, you're playing with big brother, yeah!" my words are coming towards Keysa and Keyla.
My house and Diana's are side by side, and I give you the fence. In front of the house, I made a small garden and also a swing. I purposely made a fence, so my son wouldn't play in the streets.
" Sister, where's mama?" I asked Keysa who was holding Arjuna. Keysa is now ten years old. He could already hold Arjuna and guard her in front of the park.
" Make more milk" Keysa replied
" Aunty take a bath first" I said, pinching Arjuna's cheek. After coming home from the office, I got used to taking a shower first. So that my dear child is not exposed to germs and traces of air pollution attached to my body.
I entered my house and went to my room. Very fresh watering the body when coming home from work. My body that feels sticky and sweaty is now back fresh.
Then I looked for a negligee, which I used to wear in the afternoon. Because negligee clothes are the most comfortable clothes for mothers in this world.
After getting dressed, I stepped on my feet towards the courtyard. I can't wait to hold my dear son.
I opened the door, and was shocked to see Ardi playing with my son and two nieces.
" Bang Ardi!' lirih.
" Karina," he said my name slowly.
" Karin, forgive brother!" Diana looked down in fear.
I looked cynically at Ardi, because he was holding Arjuna.
I wonder, why did Arjuna not cry when he was carried by a stranger he had just met?
" Bang, give me back my son!" I said that I went straight to Ardi and took Arjuna from his hand.
" Karina, why are you being so rude like me?" tanyanya looked at me with a longing gaze. I saw his jaw, which had been filled with children's hair, which began to thicken.
" Do you know where my house is?" ask me with a high voice.
" No need for you to know, for sure now I love you so much." Ardi showed seriousness in both his eyeballs. " Karina, please don't make me suffer." Ardi pleaded with me while kneeling.
