Oh Arunika
Chapter 22
“Where are you going, Juna?” bu Ranti asked as her son turned around, after handing her a handbag.
“Certainly want to go home, Mom,” answers accordingly. Not to forget he also grasped the finger of his wife who looked smooth and white.
“Go back?” reiterate Miss Ranti. “Can't you here first accompany us?”
Juna who had been reluctant to linger there, now he had to turn his body and see the tired face of Bu Ranti. “Can't, Mom,” rebutted Juna with his firm voice. “I have to meet investors this morning. I don't want to push him back to meet them. Could-can they cancel our cooperation.”
“You ‘kan can meet them later afternoon or later.” Ms. Ranti still hopes Juna will stay.
“Can't, Mom,” he said again. “It should have been our meeting held yesterday. But because I insisted that Nadia and I go to see the doctor of my choice, I had to cancel our meeting. And now you want me to step back from that meeting again?” Juna threw his breath into the air that was tucked away irritated by Mother's excessive request. For what he remains there, while there is important work waiting for him, he thought.
“They came from out of town, Mom. I don't want them to be disappointed and completely cancel the cooperation that I've been aiming for a long time. What are Nadia and I here for? Hasn't there been a doctor who handled the mother?”
“Fear later the doctors can not handle Bu Nita. Who will take Bu Nita to another hospital if they are unable to treat her illness?” said Bu Ranti slowly and also ambiguously, making Juna's eyebrows nosedive as well as Nadia. Juna's wife looked at his mother-in-law's face.
“Not to be afraid, Bu.“ Nadia answered. “Did I forget that this hospital is the largest and best hospital in our city?” Nadia pulled the corner of her lips as she said the same sentence her mother-in-law said yesterday. He feels like an evil son-in-law but he doesn't care. “The tools are complete and also sophisticated. So you do not need to worry about Mother Nita can not be treated let alone be referred to another hospital. What is Nita's mother sick until I worry about her so?”
I don't know why Nadia doesn't like to see her in-laws get too anxious about Bu Nita. Dislike the same as when this morning her husband who without thinking long, passed away leaving her only to help ART Bu Ranti.
Nadia feels Aru and her mother like it will backfire for her life. The feeling was present when he saw Aru was at his in-laws' house, whereas all he knew was that Bu Nita was working there.
A moment later, Nadia clenched her lips tightly after recalling, that her mother-in-law had once mentioned about the second wife to Juna, her husband.
Nadia shined a sharp glare at Aru who was looking down with fingers holding each other. He reflexively grabs Juna's hand, trailing him as if to show that Juna is his whole.
“We went, Mom,” said goodbye to Juna because he saw his mother had been quiet for a long time.
“I mean Mom, Juna who will finance her treatment, so?” Nadia was not thinking about her in-laws. He looked more and more at Aru whose body was already shaking. His feeling did not miss the presence of Aru and his mother in the midst of the problems he was currently facing.
“They have no money to cover the cost of treatment. My brothers don't have either. We're the only hope they're the only.” Bu Ranti stuck out her hand to stroke Aru's back whose stuffing sound was now heard again. The poor girl.
“That's not our responsibility, Mom!” nadia could not take it anymore. Bu Ranti seemed to show herself and Juna that Bu Nita is an important person in their family who deserves help.
“Nadia!” Juna yelled at his wife until Nadia fell silent. He didn't think his wife could do that to his mother. The man pulled the corner of the tail of his eyes and met Bu Ranti whose facial features were no less surprised by him.
Next, Bu Ranti sat in a long chair, holding her chest that felt trembling.
Juna approached, crouched down in front of his mother, and clasped the hand that had raised him with affection.
“I will send it to the account Mother.”
“If you guys mind to spend money, it's better not to. You can sell valuables owned by Mother.”
“No need, Mom. I'll send it.”
Ms. Ranti was silent and had no intention of giving any more attention when she saw her daughter-in-law also approaching.
“Pardon Nadia's attitude earlier, Bu.”
“You go!”
Not wanting any commotion between his mother and wife, Juna invites Nadia to leave immediately. But before actually leaving, Juna glanced at Aru who was stunned with a gaze that Nadia could not understand. Yes, Nadia caught her husband looking at Aru like that.
