you are not my father
you are not my father
Arlita, who was given leave to recuperate, asked Mama Jelita to take Ramond with her until the situation improved, for fear of troubling Sanjaya's family, who was in a disaster.
And now here they were, the apartment he had rented for himself and Ramond. Even though Ronald had offered to buy him an apartment but he refused, Ronald finally asked Arlita to rent an apartment unit next to Arlita's room.
Ronald loves Ramond very much, an event that he experienced when he was a child he used as a lesson to educate Ramond. Ronald doesn't want Ramond to grow up lacking love and attention.
"Ramond, drink the milk first dear." Arlita said to the child who walked into her bedroom with a sullen face.
Arlita sighed heavily, Arlita understood that Ramond really missed Ronald, his grandma and grandpa, especially Rey.
"Momy knows, ramon misses daddy, but daddy is busy mommy, Ramond can't disturb Daddy, Ramond is a good kid." Arlita persuaded.
"Why is everyone busy? Doesn't anyone remember Ramond?"
"Uncle Rey already called, right? He said he wanted to come here after work."
Ramond nodded slowly but his face was still gloomy, again Arlita was only able to take a deep breath, if it's like this Arlita already understands, any persuasion won't work for Ramond.
'Should I call Rey huh?' Arlita thought while dreaming. Finally he found a way to persuade Ramond to want to drink his milk and not be sad anymore.
Arlita hastily took her cell phone in the room and dialed Rey's number. After a ringing tone was heard, the phone was picked up by the owner.
"Hello Rey, sorry to interrupt, how are Ronald and Jelita?"
"Thank God they are getting better, what's wrong Arlita?" Rey asked over the phone.
"Um, Ramond is sulking he misses you guys, so what should I do? Sorry to bother you so early."
"Oh it's okay, replace your call with a video call, everyone is gathered here, we will persuade him."
"Okay." Arlita changes her call to a video call and directs it at Ramond.
Ramond who was frowning immediately smiled happily when he saw his Opa, Rey and Grandma, soon Ronald was seen lying on the bed.
"Daddy why Daddy's face like that?"
"like what?" Ask Ronald with a smile
"Like zombies." Everyone who heard what Ramond said burst out laughing
"Is Ramon afraid?"
"No, Daddy loves Ramond, even if daddy turns into a zombie daddy won't eat Ramond, right Dad?"
"Daddy will eat Ramond, if Ramond won't eat and drink milk."
"Ramond wants to eat and drink milk with Dad, with Grandma and Grandpa."
"Not with Uncle Rey?" Rey interrupted.
"I don't want to, Uncle Rey is not Ramond's Daddy, after all, Uncle Rey likes to tease Ramond." Rey chuckled at Ramond's funny answer. different from Arlita who turned sullen.
"Watch out later, when Ramond meets Om, then Ramond Om puts in the dinosaur cage, so the dinosaurs eat it."
"There are no dinosaurs, Om, that means Om is lying."
"Who said Om is lying, then Om will take you to see the dinosaurs."
"Okay, be careful if you lie, then Ramond will jewer."
That's how Ramond and Rey always fight but if they don't see each other for a long time, they will miss each other.
"When is daddy coming home? Ramond misses him. Ramond promises that Ramond won't be naughty anymore and diligently prays and recites the Koran, right now in an orphanage that teaches the Koran it's beautiful, Ramond likes it."
"Don't flirt with you, okay?"
"Who is flirtatious, Om Rey is the one who likes to be flirty when there is a beautiful teacher."
"Eh!!" Rey glared.
"Oops! Release."
Everyone who heard laughed out loud because of Ramond and Rey's actions, Arlita finally decided to hang up the phone when a doctor was going to examine Ronald.
Finally Ramond was happy again and wanted to drink his milk, making Arlita smile with relief.
The apartment bell rang, Arlita immediately walked to the door and then opened it, it was Arka who was already standing firmly, in her hand carrying a bag that didn't know what was in it, Arlita didn't even know.
"Am I intruding?"
"No, come in, Ka."
"Thanks."
"Ramond, look who's coming honey." Arlita shouted at her little son.
"Who's mommy?" asked Ramond as he came out of his room.
"Hey champ." Who is Ark?
"Uncle Ark." Ramond jogged and hugged Arka.
"Om bring something for Ramond."
"What, uncle?"
"Try to open."
Ramond opened the paper bag given by Arka, then smiled and hugged Arka because he was so happy.
"Thanks Uncle. Ramond likes the gift."
"Equally love."
"What is Rammond."
"This is a story book about the Messenger of Allah, later the beautiful teacher at the orphanage, Ramond told me to read it, so my friends can hear the story, Om."
"Yes dear."
"Oh, let's play lego."
"Okay, where's the lego, let's play."
Ramond took his toys in the toy box and took a lego bag and took it out on the carpet in front of the television where Arka and Arlita were sitting.
"Oh, didn't you catch a criminal?"
"The criminal was caught yesterday."
"Oh, oh great."
"Ramond's great too."
"Ka, is the kidnapper related to Danil's uncle?"
"No, the culprit is different, this is purely because of the perpetrator's grudge against Ronald, James was Ronald's former business partner."
"Oh so."
"Then the relationship with Jelita?"
"Jelita saw that Ronald was being taken away by car, suspicious and he followed behind, but unfortunately Jelita's actions were discovered by James's men, and in the end she was also held captive."
"Then how did you know the location of the captivity, so it didn't take long to find them?"
"Jelita sent a soy signal to Rey, through their homemade device, from there Rey informed Danil, and we immediately drove to the location, luckily we arrived on time, otherwise they would both have died from gas poisoning."
"Oh my. How cruel they are."
"Yes, Ronald's face was shapeless when we released him, he was severely abused, as was Jelita."
"Yes, I called Ronald earlier, I saw his face still looks a little swollen and bruised."
"Yes, maybe this afternoon I will be there to interrogate Jelita and Ronald as victims."
"Hmm."
"Oya, Arlita, said Humaira ... you want to learn about religion? Why?"
"Shouldn't I know about your religion?"
"Yeah that's fine, but I mean, was it all because of __Rey?"
Arlita smiled a little, then shook her head.
"It was Rey who opened my eyes about religion, but my intention to know your religion was not because of him, it was from the bottom of my heart."
"Alhamdulillah, then I am happy, God's guidance goes to you."
"Amen."
Arlita and Arka then played together with Ramond until it was nine o'clock in the morning, Arka said goodbye to go to the hospital to visit Jelita and Ronald as well as ask for information from them.
