Oh Arunika
Chapter 14

“Homewated? How does that mean?” tanya Bu Nita did not understand. The woman whose body was not as heavy as her employer twisted her body, stopping the stirring on the frying pan on the stove, in order to see the face of her daughter standing behind her body.

Arunika decided to tell her mother about what the workers experienced at the factory where she worked. It is also impossible for him to hide this matter, because later he will also be asked by the mother why not go to work.

“Hosted... means it doesn't work, Mom. Aru and also all the other workers did not go to work until the pandemic that was happening ended,” Aru explained sadly.

His mother was stunned for a moment, “Pandemi it... virus that lately more people talk about, yes? The one from China, yes?” mother asked ascertained and was embraced by Aru. “Mothers are so horrified to hear it. He said the virus was deadly. Thank goodness you were asked not to work first. Uhuk... uhuk.”

Mom momentarily allowed the mask she was wearing, then turned back to Arunika to stir the cow rendang she was cooking. Lauk which will be a lunch meal according to the request of Bu Ranti.

“Cough Mom is still bad?”

“No. Only occasionally. The medicine you bought is effective.”

Arunika nodded in understanding. He breathed a sigh of relief because he had not heard his mother coughing as much as last night.

“Then how will we repay our debt to Bu Ranti if Aru does not work, Bu?” tanyanya again conveys heartbreak.

“Let's talk about it with Ms. Ranti. You don't need to worry.”

Arunika helps you prepare lunch dishes at the dining table in the shape of a rectangle. Mother said, today Miss Ranti will have a guest. That's why I've been struggling in the kitchen since.

“What's still less, Bu?” ask Aru while glancing at the dining table that has been arranged tightly. Look for something that may not have been provided on the table made of marble.

“Tissue. Please bring tissue.”

“Oh, yes.” Aru hurriedly stepped into the kitchen, picking up the item in question. When he returned to the dining table, Aru also heard the sound of steps that were mutual.

The footsteps belonged to Bu Ranti and a bespectacled woman who was identical to him, walking side by side closer to the food stand. Aru also saw Juna and his wife behind the two middle-aged women.

“The smell is appetizing. It looks good this,” said the bespectacled woman while staring at the delicious food presented on the table.

“Pasti delicious. Bu Nita's cuisine is always delicious. Never disappoint the tongue,” praise Bu Ranti makes Mom blush shy.

“Oh, ‘ya?”

“Iya. Let's just sit down. Let's prove it together. Come on, Juna, Nadia, sit down. Bu Nita and also Aru, here sit.” Miss Ranti was so excited to invite everyone to immediately take their respective places. “I can't wait to eat it,” he said again after landing his body perfectly on the chair.

Aru also pulled one of the chairs and occupied it reluctantly. For several days living in the house, Bu Ranti always invited Aru and his mother to eat together at the same table.

“How, Mal? Tasty, ‘kan?” Miss Ranti asked the glasses lady. He deliberately waited for the woman sitting next to him to taste his food first. I don't know who the woman who had that shoulder-length hair was. Aru has never seen it.

“Iya, Ran. This is very delicious,” said the woman who is no less beautiful with the Ranti Bu. He closed his eyes to enjoy the chewing in his mouth. “This is one of the best rendang I have ever eaten,” he said again after the food in his mouth was swallowed.

“Later if you are going home, you can wrap it up. Come to my house often let us eat well". Ms. Ranti looks excited to say it. “Masakan Bu Nita does never disappoint,” praise Bu Ranti again make Mother blush in her place. “Iya, ‘kan, Aru? Your mother's cooking is delicious, ‘kan? ”

Aru turned his head, “Iya, Ma,” replied the girl immediately with a polite smile.

During the meal, the conversation between Bu Ranti and the bespectacled woman was domineering.

While Juna did not care about the conversation of the two middle-aged women. He seemed to want to quickly finish his plate.

And his wife, Nadia just looked down to stir her food. Sometimes he spoons food into his mouth. However, even though Bu Ranti and her friend said that the food was delicious, Nadia looked not tasteful to eat. That's what Aru saw.

Aru and Mom had finished cleaning the dining table since half an hour ago. His mother was asked to wrap the remaining rendang and deliver it to the room where Bu Ranti was. He said he was afraid to forget not to be taken by the woman with glasses.

Aru as usual washed the dishes and his friends carefully. Flush it carefully too. If it falls and breaks, no-no, do not let it happen. He will not be able to replace it. Although Bu Ranti is a good woman, it does not mean she can visit. Precisely on good people we should be more reluctant.

“Jun, anyway we just go home.”

Aru knew that voice. The voice belonged to Nadia. Sure enough, when Aru turned to the door that connects the kitchen and dining table, Juna and Nadia appeared to pass there.

“You don't do that, we'll just follow what my mother wants. After all, it is not difficult just to check health,” said the man who wore a blue dongker shirt. He took the water from the refrigerator and poured it on the glass he had just taken.

“We have checked health 3 times. The last one we did just 2 weeks ago. Why can't you wait for the results?”

“Already, Nad. I don't want to argue with you and Mom about this anymore. All this time I've given you whatever we want. Just going to the doctor to check health is not difficult. This is all Mom did too so we mem—.”

The sound of running water from the tap makes Juna no longer continue his sentence. He only realized that there was Aru in that room.

Aru bowed and smiled politely when she realized she was seen by the couple.

Without reciprocating Aru's hospitality, Juna invites his wife to leave from there.
