I was surprised by Ridwan's words and about the story of the pill that not everyone knew. "Then how's your mom doing, Wan?"
"My mom is much calmer now. My mother used to go every time she met a man, she went on a rampage even when she met me. He will not stop cursing and also swearing. I don't know what my mom really is going through."
"Why don't you take it to a psychologist. Who knows your mom's gonna remember everything and get back to normal."
Ridwan recounted that when he was a child he believed in the words of his grandparents that his mother was a victim of abuse. However, the development of Ridwan's thinking, he knew he had to take his mother to a psychologist because it could be his mother experienced severe trauma to cause his condition so. "Eat, Han. I promised I'd work hard to get my money together and treat my mother. In addition to working in a factory, I also do anything if at home. Like now, I bought a used car for me to use as an online taxi. The result is quite good, I have been able to twice bring my mother to the psychologist, the result is a little calm if the mother is close to me."
"I salute you, Wan. May you continue like this, filial son of your mother." I rubbed his hand that kept holding me.
Ridwan threw a thin smile and we stopped the step because it had arrived in front of the index. Ridwan's eyes continued to stare at the rusty left side of the gate. "It was in this place that my mother crouched down while banging the gate was found, not once or twice but quite often."
"Wan, doesn't anyone know your mother in this area? Who knows if someone can help me get it done."
"No, no one knows my mother. All they remember is a crazy woman who just goes berserk without knowing the story that happened before."
"Hopefully your mother recovers quickly." The man just rubbed my head gently.
"Maybe my mother will recover if she has a daughter-in-law. Well, I have to go home soon because it's nearing breakfast and take the cure. One more thing you should remember, Han. When your longing feels like me just call me my name, baby. I'm coming."
Ridwan base when the heart that was carried away by this sad atmosphere, still threw his waves.
"I'll go back, Han."
"Yes, be careful."
I stared at the back of the man who had passed riding his motorcycle. A good and funny man, though in his heart no one knows the gaping wound. I can only pray that the problems of the people I started to love will be over soon.
"Where are you, Han? I wake up You've disappeared?" asked Wulan as soon as I entered the room which is now not too creepy for me, apparently Wulan was awake from her sleep.
"I bought breakfast from the front. You eat first, Lan. Here I buy chicken porridge. After that take your medicine let your wounds dry quickly."
Instead of replying, the woman threw a mischievous smile. "Have you bought breakfast what's a date, hayo?" Wulan chuckles.
This woman must have seen Ridwan. "Buy breakfast. Just saying I'm dating. I'm single."
"If you're not dating, then what does Ridwan do here in the morning blind like this?" I could see Wulan who looked like she was smiling.
"So we met by accident because he wanted to buy breakfast. Yeah, it's just the same."
"Oh, not intentionally but his hand continued to be rich to cross the road?" Wulan's laughter exploded, while I just remained silent and blushed. Lately hugging and hand-in-hand with the man was common, there was no rejection from me.
"Are you interested, Lan?" My eyes glared at the woman whose hands were still wrapped in bandages and just kept laughing.
"Yes obviously, Han, have you answered her love statement?"
I shook my head because there were still many doubts in my heart especially now plus the fact that her mother was unwell. I don't want to add to his mind any more.
"Han, pity the son of the man you're hanging so on. I see you guys are also compatible with each other. Take it, who knows he's your soul mate."
"Come, Lan. I ate the bribe." I scooped the chicken porridge and fed it to Wulan.
"There's something stuck in your heart that seems hard to accept, Han?"
"If it's about ideals, I can only support you, Han. To receive the love of a Ridwan I was very supportive. Because I can see sincerity and love in his eyes."
I chose to smile without answering any more about Ridwan. Let time be the one answering. If we are fooled then the path will be made easier, but if not already.
I continued to feed Wulan painstakingly. At first Wulan refused but the circumstances were not possible. How could he eat by himself, his hands alone could not grasp.
The meal was over, it was time for me to take a shower and get ready for the factory where Wulan worked to hand over the license from the hospital. "Lan, who do I want to nitip to?"
"Let's just take it to the security guard post, Han. Just tell me this is a license on behalf of Wulan Diyanti the production part."
"Yes, I'm leaving first, Lan."
"Eh, don't forget, Han. You came to the west building, the new building. Not the one with the company logo, it's the old one."
"Ready! I'm leaving first huh, Lan." The journey to the factory is quite time-consuming even though the distance is quite close. This hour is rush hour because it is the same time the employees enter work.
"Excuse me, Sir. I left a permit on behalf of Wulan, sir," I told a security guard at the gate. By a big man I was asked to hand the letter to the security guard who was at the security guard post and fill out the guest book.
Unexpectedly before, at the security guard post I met Adnan, the man who had already hurt Wulan.
"Han, what are you doing here?"
"You want a solo concert!" answer hence.
"How's Wulan doing?"
"just fine. It would be much better if you and the caterpillar did not show your stupidity. You know Wulan was hurt a lot by what you did."
"I don't know what the consequences will be so far, Han. I wanted to apologize to him. If I could, I would go back to him and the kids. However, I can't leave Intan, now that she's pregnant with my son. That's what makes me unable to let go of Intan, even though I now know how to love me and also have me is wrong. I'm sure it can be fair. Han, do you want to help me persuade Wulan to come back to me? Our divorce has not been decided by a religious court."
"No favor. If you want to refer to Wulan, please do your own business. If only he didn't want to be good. Didn't you say Wulan deserved to die for hurting your affair? Forget what you're pretending to forget?"
Adnan kept asking me to help him. My blood boils with every word that comes out of Adnan's mouth. Want to stick with Intan but also want to improve his relationship with Wulan. If I hadn't been watched by the security guard, I'd have slapped his mouth. I better just shut it down.
"Sir, I've filled out his guest book. Then how's the license?" ask me at the security guard sitting in front of me.
"Put it there, ma'am. Let me tell you later."
It's a good thing I can get out of here soon, so I don't have to listen to that annoying Adnan. Basic man has no brain, would like to invite Wulan back but he does not want to leave his affair. He asked for it back for sure because of the state of Intan which could be said to be sad.
Maybe because I think too much about Adnan, that annoying guy, it makes me not focus on the road conditions. There was an accident that could have happened to me. I didn't realize that the green light had turned red. I still go fast. From my left direction a container truck drove, a second late maybe I will go home to Ungaran by name only because surely my body has been destroyed.
"Stupid!" yelling at the truck driver that I did not respond because I was wrong. My heart was beating fast and my legs were shaking violently as the near retrieval of the angel of death made me stop at the shoulder of the road. A middle-aged woman who was a hawker at the crossroads gave a bottle of mineral water.
"Mbak, don't daydream if you go through here. Many people throw their pets here to find prey. Plenty of remembrance and do not leave the mind empty especially if it passes here and also the railway crossing without a crossbar in front of it. There are many victims."
