100 Days of Being a Widow

Part 19 Temptation

Rania went down the stairs to the parking lot. Rania knew Jean was waiting for her. The attention from Jean made Rania excited. No doubt, the attention of Jean is always Rania later.

"Are you ready, ma'am...?" ledek Jean opens the car door.

"Say you eat at the Lesehan stall across the street, why use a car?"

"I changed my mind. Want to eat at the seafood menu Lesehan stall at Pantai Indah Kapuk"

"Much..pak!" search Rania

"Yes. But delicious loh. You must like" Ledek Jean while starting his car.

Rania according to him. He also felt hungry. Last afternoon he did not eat lunch because it dissolved in the busyness in the production kitchen. Rania is very excited. He remembered his goal to become the captain for the new ship. He will also try to get his children back. Whatever way!

"Rania, you've changed. I'm glad to see your change now".

Jean said while driving her car

"Oh yes..is it visible?"

ask Rania. The changes experienced by Rania indeed he did with a strong determination. All for the father's motivation. As the firstborn, he should be a personal example to his younger siblings. She also wants to be a strong mother to her children. There is no way a weak mother can defend and defend her child.

"Yes, it's very visible" Jean replied.

"Alhamdulillah then..."

Rania said briefly. He didn't want to tell Jean too much of his wishful thinking. Jean has helped Rania too much. He didn't want to ask for more.

"You're changing on purpose, Rania?"

It seems Jean doesn't want to give up. He wants to know a lot about Rania".

"Yes, of course, sir, it's not good to be a weak woman!" rania.

For a moment they were silent to each other. Rania began to recall many events that hurt her heart, mind and especially mentally. He almost went crazy. Or maybe Dani has thought that Rania has gone crazy. Because he learned that Rania was admitted to the Mental Hospital from a colleague who was then handling the network at the Hospital. Maybe the current Dani is satisfied to have tasted victory. But, Rania is determined to be strong, and retaliates against what Dani did.

"What's the plan right now, Rania?"

Jean's question shocked Rania in her daydream.

"Right now?" Tanya Rania repeated. Suddenly he remembered something.

"Have a cell phone!" Rania is sure.

His old phone was destroyed in the accident. But he still holds his SIM card.

Jean laughed loudly.

"Tok your target phone anyway, Rania?"

Jean was confused. When it has changed why Rania only wants a mobile phone.

"Because I'm sure Azka will contact me sir. Azka has remembered my mobile number. So, I have to have a cell phone. So if Azka calls, I can tell". Rania lirih. Her voice stammered. He's starting to look sad.

They were silent again ....

Suddenly the car that was previously at a slow pace, suddenly on the runway at high speed. Passing through the streets of Jakarta is quite dense, Jean's car managed to overtake the cars in front of him.

The car turns in a mall. It was parked in the basement of the mall.

"Sir, why come here?, right we said we want to eat seafood at Pantai Indah Kapuk?"

Rania is confused as to why Mr. Jean changed the plan for the second time.

"We'll come here first. There's a need, let's get down!"

Said Jean while opening the car door for Rania.

Rania followed Jean's footsteps. Then enter an elevator. Jean pressed the button in the elevator. They are both still silent.

Elevator door opens. There's a row of cell phone counters lined up on that floor. Rania is confused. But he dared not ask Jean.

Rania sits next to the bench that Jean sits on at a counter that sells a variety of cellphones. He started thinking about buying a cell phone. No need for expensive brand. Enough that he can use to call and download the WhatsApp application.

It is a prank to ask about the price of an android phone which according to Rania is the simplest model. He did not have the money to buy even if it was the cheapest phone. It's his first day at work, not getting a salary of course.

"Mas, can you ask me first?

Rania whispered to one of the counter guards.

"this.this is how much?"

Rania pointed to one of the android phones.

"That's two million three hundred thousand mba, the cameraman's already front behind his memory's three giga".

The reply from the counter guards made Rania surprised. That price is certainly expensive for him. Half of Rania's salary.

Really do not expect to have a sophisticated phone, high memory let alone a double camera. He is not confident to just selfie. He could not remember the last time he took a photo.

"When is the cheapest?

Rania. Wish there was an affordable phone in his pocket. Because there are many needs. He is determined to be independent. It doesn't depend on Jean.

"Oh this is there.only seven hundred thousand rupiah mba" said the counter keeper pointed to one of the Chinese output mobile phones.

"oh yes, thank you for the information. God willing I will buy next month" said Rania blushed embarrassed, because he was still just asking, without buying.

Jean is done with her business and takes Rania back to the car.

Car door closed. Rania is ready to install the seat belt. Suddenly Jean turned on the lights in the car.

"Rania, this"

Jean said as she put something in the box.

"What is this sir?"

"Can't you call me ms or Jean from now on. I'm not too old Rania.." Jean grumbled as she scratched her head.

"haha". Rania laughs.

Actually, Rania and Jean are equal. Only the name Pak is the proper designation of subordinates to their superiors.

"OKAY. This is what Jean?" Ask Rania.

this time, a smile was greeted on Jean's face.

"The phone you need, Rania"

Jean said while drying her eyes.

Rania. He felt Jean was overreacting.

"Sorry Jean. I can't take it!"

Rania said as she looked out the car window.

"Why..ke...why Rania?!"

Jean is shocked to accept Rania's rejection. Beyond expectations, he wanted to give a surprise to Rania, but was met with rejection.

"I've been troubling you too much, Jean. Even all the facilities I enjoy are for your own good. I don't feel good about bothering you too much". Rania lirih.

"But I'm sincere, Rania, how could you refuse the gift of someone who sincerely helps you"

Rania fell silent. The atmosphere became stiff for a moment.

"That's it. You can consider this a debt. You can pay by paying off your salary". Freshman Jean.

"Couldn't Jean?" Rania's face was shining. He felt more valued in debt than in being given away for free.

"Yes, I will ask the financial part to cut your salary every month" said Jean with a thin smile typical of cool men.

"alright. Thanks Jean"

"Take it, Rania".

Rania took the phone and put it in her bag.

The car drove back to the main destination Seafood Pantai Indah Kapuk ....
