Visit Mother's Rita

Almost half a day on the way to Rita's village, the car finally arrived at a simple brown house. Many things have made Arka ask Rita for a long time.

But because it was uncomfortable to let Rita answer her question, while Arka knew there was a problem Rita was experiencing, she refused to do that.

Rita got out of the car and saw the fence that had the words. "This house is for sale."

Rita didn't understand because she knew when she was talking to her mother on the phone, Rita knew that not many bad things had happened to her family. But it made Rita go straight to her neighbor's house.

The woman immediately widened her eyes in surprise when a neighbor immediately came and rubbed her back.

"Rita, auntie, just conveying urgent information. Your mother is in the hospital. So for now you have to visit her. And one more thing, sorry if auntie was desperate to sell a house like this. Hospital fees are very expensive, and Aunt is forced to use the savings that Auntie has. But still need to be replaced. That's the way Auntie sells. Is it okay if Auntie does this, Rita?"

Rita couldn't answer. Her tears were seeping everywhere. It hurts too much to be treated like that. Not to mention when Rita found out that her mother was sick. For Rita, it doesn't matter if the house is sold. What is far more important is the mother's recovery.

Therefore, Rita immediately walked to the hospital referred to by her neighbor earlier. Luckily the distance is only five hundred meters so Rita doesn't need to be escorted by Arka,

Meanwhile, Arka, who had been stunned to hear everything, now got out of his car. The man then saw Rita's neighbor, Yani.

"What is it?" Yani asked when he saw Arka had been examining him deeply.

"I heard earlier that this house was going to be sold for Rita's mother's hospital fees, right?" asked Arka to confirm while looking at her with a confused look.

Yani nodded her head quickly. Right now, the woman wasn't lying about everything she said with Rita.

"You doubt what I said to Rita? It doesn't have to be like that. I did do well. After all, it was time to confirm that everything here was reality. So what?" asked Yani.

"Look, I ask you to withdraw all business dealings with the sale of this house. I will replace all your money for helping Rita's mother. I will pay ten times the price."

The woman was clearly surprised to receive such an offer. Rita's mother's treatment cost around $500, but Yani felt it was too much to pay ten times as much.

"I'm sorry, but this seems wrong. If you want to change it can be according to the payment, sir. You don't have to pay ten times as much."

The woman then accompanied Arka in a polite tone. Earlier, he had thought that Arka was an ordinary man who did not have much wealth. But unfortunately, it turns out that Arka is someone who has a lot of treasure.

"Just mention the account number. I'll pay for it right now," said Arka seriously.

But again, Yani tried to deny it pseudo. But it failed because Arka stubbornly asked for his orders to be obeyed.

Because money is everything and Yani feels there is no compulsion from him, the woman finally mentions her account number to Arka. After doing this, Arka went to the hospital to meet Rita who was there first.

"Don't you know that everyone here seems to have a headache thinking about Rita's mother's fees,"

Rita really couldn't stand it when she was in front of her mother's waiting room. She wanted to get out of there. But earlier when Rita met the doctor, she was asked to still meet there.

When Arka arrived there, the woman was confused because she was really confused about what else to do.

"You can help me find out what you're doing. But never to try bad things on everyone. Rita is feeling dizzy and you all better get out of here."

Arka asked Rita's neighbors who were there. Actually they were really good. It's just that, to do all of that, it feels like Arka needs time to get rid of them. A concern wrapped in unquestionable kindness.

"If I may know, who are you Rita?" one woman who was about the same age as Rita dared to ask Arka.

Arka who was dizzy at being told like that, chose to look at Rita first. I don't know, it feels like it still takes time to answer what the neighbors say. The reason, Arka understands how hurt Rita is currently experiencing. So all Rita did was look at Arka.

"What's wrong, Arka?" Rita asked when she saw Arka approaching her.

"I just wanted to tell you, do you mind if I kick the neighbors out?"

Rita could only shake her head quickly. To be honest, Rita didn't want Arka to be too bold with her neighbors. Arka doesn't know that Rita's neighbors are neighbors who can tell everyone that Arka is not a good person and will just be evicted.

Getting this, in the end Arka complied. The man immediately returned to his seat. Her hands clenched just to apologize to everyone. What is clear, Arka has realized that the mistake had happened to him.

"We are all guilty. But that doesn't mean we can make all kinds of bad things, right? So stop blaming anyone right now," said Arka to Rita's neighbor.

"What's with this person?"

The whisper reached his ears. Arka was confused to see the figure of the man in front of her showing an attitude that was too light. Obviously that doesn't rule out the fact that the neighbors are annoyed at the matter.

"We asked the same father one more time, yes," said a neighbor as he rose from his seat. "This we want to ask, is it true that this father is Rita's friend? Not Rita's boyfriend, right?"

The question surprised Arka to herself. Because everything she was going through right now was pretty bad and she had no choice but to find out. Without much thought, Arka got up from her seat.

"Yes. I'm just Rita's friend. People who have helped his mother can pay the hospital fees. Is there anything else you want to ask? If not, then I choose to leave from here. Excuse me!" Arka said in a flat voice.
