The Sweet Hotel's
Anna

That afternoon in the same room, Galuh and Anna faced each other. After putting Lala to sleep, they sat face to face accompanied by a steaming cup of tea.

Eka and Hashi play on the floor next to the two of them. Galuh noticed Anna's movements, her sitting posture until her way of drinking.

"Why do you care about me like that?" asked Anna doubtfully.

Galuh smiled, he took a teacup and rubbed it. "I've never seen you at Hendry's house before. So, when did you start working with Hendry?"

"Since Mr. Hendry saved me from an accident. From then on, I was told to take care of Mr. Hendry's private apartment" Anna explained.

Galuh nodded, "just right when I get there the apartment is very neat. It's usually like a ship breaking." Galuh shook his head to remember Hendry's apartment before there was Anna.

"Yes right, it's me who cleans." Anna seemed to force her smile.

"Why An?" ask Galuh. "It looks like you have something stuck up" Galuh guessed. He looked at Anna with sympathy.

"There's nothing, just to remember my family that's gone" Anna replied with a forced smile.

"I'm sorry, An" Galuh said guiltily.

Anna laughed, bland. Yeah, a bland laugh. "No papa kok mbak,"

Galuh sipped his tea again. He glanced at Anna who was also sipping tea. In Galuh's mind now there is only one, Anna is not a random person.

Galuh sure if the woman in front of him is not from just any family. His family must have been very well-respected. It looks at the way he sits and the way he drinks.

"You're comfortable working with Hendry?"

"Comfortable, comfortable. Mr. Hendry is a good master" Anna replied. Anna's confident face made Galuh want to laugh.

"You seem pretty sure if Hendry's good." Galuh chuckled while wiping the teacup in his hand.

"I'm pretty sure Mr. Hendry is a good guy. If not, there's no way he's helping me" Anna said earnestly.

Galuh laughed quite loudly this time, he glanced at the door, "if he is good, he will marry you, not even a maid. Yeah, at least give you his apartment and money every month,"

"What is this Galuh? I was made a maid was happy, no need to get rich that way." Anna lowered her head, her face had been blushing ever since. He was ashamed, deeply ashamed of Galuh's words.

While Galuh increasingly hardened his voice until his eldest son reprimanded, "mother do not laugh classes, Lala will wake up,"

Galuh assuaged his laughter, "yes, mother apologizes." He glanced at the door of the room and laughed again, yes although not as hard as before.

At the door, Hendry folded his arms staring lazily at Galuh who was laughing at him. "Unhappy with his laugh?"

Anna was aghast, she looked back and saw Hendry who was already standing there. He turned to Galuh, who was still laughing.

Now he understood, Galuh spoke like that because he was insinuating Hendry.

Anna held onto her cheek which was still blushing. He harrumphed because of Galuh's words, and Hendry was there. That means Hendry saw her blush.

"Girl if teased that yes, his cheeks immediately red," said Galuh with the remnants of his laughter.

Hendry approached Galuh and touched the woman's eel.

"Aw!" Galuh held her forehead and smiled seductively.

"Sorry Anna, Galuh it is so," said Hendry.

"Yes sir, it's okay" replied Anna. He was still embarrassed, but how else had it all happened.

Hendry sat down beside Galuh and loosened his tie.

"Hurry to change the day so I can get out of here" Hendry said.

"What do you mean?"

"Did you forget? Your husband's room is right next to this room, obviously he knows that his son is here" Hendry said. "And I was the target of the question" grumbled Hendry.

Anna looked down, not daring to look at Hendry's handsome face. Something stuck in his heart to see his master sitting beside Galuh. But Anna tried to shake that feeling.

"Then?" asked Galuh sarcastically.

Hendry rubbed his face roughly, he sighed, "you still ask? Why aren't you guys together anymore?"

Galuh silent, he tried to digest Hendry's speech. Back together? Is that possible?

"I don't know." That's all that comes out of Galuh's mouth.

Hendry glanced at Anna, hinting to play with the children.

Knowing her master's gesture, Anna immediately got up and joined Eka and Hashi.

"Well, when will it get rich?" ask Hendry slowly.

"I don't know" he replied slowly.

"Think everything well, he loves you. Trust me," said Hendry sincerely. His smile expanded, but no one knew if his hands were clenched from earlier.

"Enough, Hendry! Speech without action is tantamount to a lie," said Galuh sharply.

"But he never said, he immediately showed through his actions, Luh," Hendry tried to explain.

He was silent, he didn't know what to answer.

Looking at Galuh who was silent, Hendry clasped his hand. "Everything will be fine. Go back to him, start slowly,"

Galuh stared at Hendry. He found hope in Hendry's words. But is everything right will be fine.

"Slow down, Luh. As time goes by you will get used to it. You'll get used to being together." Hendry tightened his grip.

"I'll try later" Galuh said slowly.

Hendry smiled, he rubbed Galuh's hand gently.

"Yes .. to celebrate my departure we have to take a walk" said Hendry casually.

"So your departure will be celebrated?" Galuh glared at his eyes.

"Mmm ... I mean celebrate my last day here, you should have a good impression with the old boss of this hotel before I leave." Hendry took Galuh's tea and sipped it.

"Huh, I'm sure you'll always call me" Galuh argued. "And, that's my tea why are you drinking it?" upset the woman with Hendry.

"It's very delicious" he said casually. "Here you go, I just want to take the four of you for a walk."

"To make a good impression with me before you go back with Ferdian," Hendry said.

"Yes whatever," resigned Galuh.

Hendry smiled, he finished off the tea he had in his hand.

"So then I'll go out first" said Hendry. He then walked out of the room.

"Yes, don't forget to change my tea!"

☆☆☆

Galuh along with a woman and three children entered the house were elegant.

"Welcome to my house Anna" Galuh said.

"Well, Galuh's house is neat, yes" praised Anna. He was amazed to see the arrangement of Galuh's house that seemed neat and elegant.

"Obviously, not as big as Hendry's house, but enough for the four of us" Galuh smiled.

This house is a house purchased from the results of hard work, made as comfortable as possible but still elegant if viewed.

"Ah yes Anna, let me show you your room,"

"Yes, but what kind of kids are these?"

"Let them play here,"

The two women went to the back area. In a room enough to be occupied by one person.

"This is your room, I haven't had time to clean it, you clean it yourself, yes" Galuh said.

"Yes, thank you,"

"Sorry, this room is not as large as the room in Hendry's apartment," said Galuh felt bad.

"It's all right, it's so convenient,"

Galuh smiled in relief, "yes I have, I stay first yes,"

"Yes, mbak,"

I left Anna alone. He headed to the front where his kids were playing.

Now at 17:30 WIB, Eka and Hashi are playing on the front carpet of the television.

Maybe they look good now, not knowing what the future will be like.

Galuh approached her two children and sat on the carpet. She's nursing Lala who's hungry.

Hashi approached Galuh and Lala, rubbing the cheeks of his sister's kingpin. "Lala lapal huh? Why didn't Lala eat rice?"

"Because Lala can't eat rice, later if Lala is already rich Kak Hashi, Lala must eat rice," explained Galuh.

"Oo that, once Achi rich Lala huh Bun?" the girl looked at Galuh with her innocent eyes.

"Yes, not just Hashi, Eka was like that" Galuh replied patiently.

Hashi pinched Lala's cheek with anxiety, "iiihhh Lala's cheek gemeeesshh,"

"Eh, don't pinch, it hurts!" galuh.

Hashi took off her pinches on her sister's cheeks, "after which Lala's cheeks gurgled like Bun, Achi wanted nyubit,"

"It hurts baby if it's pinched,"

Suddenly Eka approached the three of them and pinched Hashi's cheek. Sontak Hashi then shouted in pain and cried 

"HUWAAAA ATIT, BIG SISTER, MOTHER ...."

Galuh was surprised and looked at his eldest son with a reprimanding look, he grabbed onto Hashi's body and rubbed his cheek.

"It hurts?" Galuh still rubbed the cheeks of his second son. "Eka, why is Hashi's cheek pinched?"

Eka lowered her head and pursed her lips, "tadi Hashi nyubit Lala's cheek, telus Hashi did not believe that pinched it hurt. So, Eka nyubit Hashi's cheek bial Hashi knows the language."

Eka's eyes glazed over, she held back her cries forcefully. He wanted to be as his father wanted him to be, to be strong to protect his loved ones.

Seeing Eka who explained by holding back tears, Galuh became full and clenched the body of his eldest son.

Now, Galuh holds his three hearts. Give them peace of mind.

"You who get along, protect and love each other" said Galuh.

☆☆☆

Tonight Galuh and his three children are neat.

Galuh with loose dress and dark green jacket looks very simple and sweet.

While the two children wear the same motif clothes that look very relaxed but elegant.

And the other kid? For a baby does not need to bother, use anything still suitable.

"Where is Anna?" Galuh looked around, but did not find Anna at all.

Not long after, came a girl in a casual dress.

"This is Anna" said Galuh. "You always fit, you always fit in" Galuh said.

Anna blushed and lowered her head, "Girl could have been. Galuh's mom is pretty, too,"

"Hahaha, you little girl, to be praised must be ashamed." Galuh fixed the hat Lala was wearing. "Bak was also once a girl, if tempted or praised as shy as your rich,"

"You're not ashamed, you're ashamed" said Hendry, who was at the door.

"What the hell is that?" Galuh stared at Hendry cynically. "You come greetings, excuse me, not even cut up people's talk" Galuh's circus.

"Excuse me Mrs Galuh, are you ready?"

"Let's go quickly, later tonight," Galuh held the hands of Hashi and Eka.

They then went out together. Anna followed behind Galuh, silently watching the two people who looked so close.

Hendry opened the door for Galuh, "please enter Madam,"

Just shut up and get in the car. Anna, Eka and Hashi sit in the back.

"Where are we going?" galuh asked after Hendry sat behind the wheel.

"Somewhere, simple but fun," replied Hendry while turning on the car.

"Cih, mysterious pretentious," said Galuh.

Hendry just dodged and ran his car. It was common for him to hear Galuh's scorn.

The journey goes on in silence. Galuh is busy with Lala, Hendry is focused on driving, and Anna is busy with her thoughts.

Eventually the car stopped in an open parking lot full of motorbikes. Galuh looked around and held back his laughter.

"Is this what you mean by simple yet fun?"

Hendry cleared his throat and got out of the car. He turned around to open the door for Galuh.

"Yes, we're here and wearing branded clothes. Haha silly," Galuh laughed.

They wear clothes designed by a famous designer. And now they are here, where the contents are only young people who are alone.

"I want nostalgia. We used to come here every semester assessment," said Hendry laughed.

"That was Hen, when we were in High School," Galuh smiled, recalling his teenage years with Hendry.

"Udah yuk in," Galuh asked. "Anna, you're the same Eka and Hashi, yes,"

"Yes, Ma'am,"

The six of them entered the place. Eka and Hashi exclaimed happily, they looked around and laughed occasionally.

"This is malem?" eka asked with a slight shout.

"Well, lame ya!" exclaim Hashi happy.

Galuh and Hendry smiled seeing the two children happy. Indeed this is the first time Hashi and Eka come to the night market. Ordinary, children of today.

"What ride are we on?" ask Hendry.

"Om Hendly, Om Hendly, Eka wants to ride it," Eka pointed at the slow-spinning windmill.

"Don't, Achi atut," declined Hashi.

"Hashi is calm, there is Om Hendry here," said Hendry calming.

"But Om ...."

"Hashi don't have to come, here, either" said Eka in annoyance.

Hashi pursed his lips and approached Galuh. Her eyes were ready to shed tears, "Mother,"

The girl hugged her mother tightly. Refrain from crying.

"It can't be that, the same time his sister is that," Galuh said. "Hashi don't be afraid, later go up with mom. Surely Hashi will like it," he continued to persuade Hashi.

Eka. Perhaps Eka had the instincts of a firstborn child, so she preferred to give up. Eka approaches Hashi and grabs her hand, "come on with big sister,"

Galuh smile. Seeing his son get along does make the heart calm.

"It's so we share," said Galuh. "Mother with the kids, Om Hendry with Ma'am An,"

"I'm the same kid, Ma'am," Anna replied quickly.

"Kids let me be. I'm not calm if I have to be separated from them" Galuh explained. He was also a little scared.

"Yes come on, I bought a ticket first" said Hendry. Then go buy a ticket.

Hendry returned with three adult tickets, and two children's tickets. Lala must not have been counted.

They're heading straight for the rides. As already shared, Anna with Hendry, and Galuh with the children.

Eka and Hashi were very happy. Many times they cried out for seeing the beautiful night view.

"Looky mom!" exclaim Eka. "The lights, flickering,"

"Mother, Mother!" hashi Exclamation. "Achi deket cama star,"

"Yes, yes." That's all that comes out of Galuh's mouth.

"Mother, why isn't Hendly our name?" ask Hashi.

Galuh smiled meaningfully, she looked forward, "because they should be together,"
