100 Days of Being a Widow

Part 24. Support for Rania

In a police station. A policewoman interrogates Rania. Rania showed a cooperative attitude towards the police. That night, he signed a statement not to repeat the same act.

Rania went back to her Pavilion. The night is late. He barely remembers the way home. Rania did not grow up in Jakarta, she did not really know the streets of this city.

An online ojek that he had ordered had ushered him to Latifaa group shops, he walked towards the pavilion, opened his bedroom door and flopped on the bed. There are times when luck is not on his side. He slowly realized that life could not be fully owned. There may be a successful household, but failed or ordinary career, and there is also the opposite, an extraordinary career, but the household failed. Rania is in second place at the moment.

The sun came in through a window not covered by a curtain. The glare of light kept Rania awake. At six o'clock in the morning, the dawn passed. But to get out of bed, it felt like he could not. Dehydration, that's how he feels. When the incident at Dani's house to go home, not a mouthful of water he drank. Body weakens.

The door was knocked firmly. But Rania did not move to open. He knows the door hasn't been locked since last night.

"Rania..how are you?"

Someone came in when they found out the door wasn't locked.

"Miland ..." Not a word came out of Rania's mouth.

Dina is a baker staff who is very close to Rania. Dina has the same spirit of work and always accompanies Rania when overtime.

"Rania, your lips are dry, drink up hope you get better"

Say Dina while offering bottled mineral water. After gulping down the water, Rania could only really open her eyes. He tried to get up and sat back down, Dina helping him.

"Rania, why are you like this...?"

Dina was at a loss for words to just ask about what had happened to Rania.

"Rania, your video's been viral since yesterday"

"Vidio..?, you mean, Din?

"Someone recorded your act in front of your ex-husband's house, then uploaded it"

Rania was silent for a moment.

"Then...?"

Rania seemed unable to predict what will happen when the action viral video on social media.

"Why don't you take off your uniform and hitchhike on the expedition truck, Rania?, that's a stupid thing.because it's easy for people to open up your identity!"

Rania was stunned, she realized that she was still wearing a uniform when she hitched a ride on the Latifa Bakery expedition truck. He who is still clueless about the world of social media, does not realize the effects of his actions.

Rania was crying...

"Dina, please tell me how I should behave.please help me Din"

suddenly an overwhelming fear arose within Rania. Unexpectedly, that was all he realized. I want him to come back a while ago and be more careful.

"Rania, your fate will be discussed today by the company. This morning they had a meeting. Some clients complain because Latifa management is considered negligent on the performance of its employees, so it is not professional when working. However, most of them support you, as this concerns mother and child".

They were silent for a moment. Dina who was feeling sorry to see the condition of Rania, took out her morning breakfast ration bread for Rania.

"Eat, Rania. It's been a hard day for you. You have to face it strong today. Your emotions should be stable".

Rania realized that what Dina said was true. He has made mistakes and the wise man is the one who is ready to accept the consequences of what he has done.

***

Rania doesn't know what to do. He only read one by one the messages that came in without ever reading them. Fear, however, is the natural feeling of a woman when faced with a big problem. Suddenly he remembered his father's message. That what has been decided, must be accepted into a consequence.

***

Rania walked through the corridor of the Main Director's room. Ms. Latifa was waiting for him there. Today Rania is ready to listen to the company's decision on what consequences she will get. Even if it's a dismissal.

"Assalamualaikum.i Rania permission to enter Bu"

"Walaikumsalam, enter Rania"

Rania was sitting in a chair facing Bu Latifaa's desk. A cold attitude enveloped the entire room.

"How are you doing today, Rania?"

"Alhamdulillah good ma'am"

"Rania, do you know how vital it is to visit?"

Rania answered with a nod. Still, he felt fear running all over his body.

"Rania, business is not just a matter of buying and selling goods and services. More than that. There is a level of satisfaction of consumers, old customers and new customers, and the most difficult is to maintain our image to be good in the community".

Ms. Latifa spoke so calmly. But did not relieve the feelings of fear and anxiety Rania.

"i see the achievement of your performance from time to time is very good. It is unfortunate that yesterday you were unable to control your emotions".

Bu Latifa began to deepen Rania's expression. For a moment he was silent.

"What consequences do I have for you?"

Both silent. Rania was hesitant to answer Ms Latifa's question this time. It is harder than answering a judge's questions during a divorce hearing.

"Sa. I am ready to accept all the consequences given by the company for my mistakes this time Ma'am"

"Rania, heavy for me to choose. Actually HRD has issued a Warning Letter 3 for you, which means we have to be fired!. But I see you like Jean saw you. So, I gave us one more chance to stay in Latifa group!"

Rania cries and hugs Ms. Latifa. Both cuddle. Bu Latifa let a Rania free from her fear and felt the love of a mother from Bu Latifaa.

That's how Ms. Latifa. Not only to Rania, but also to other employees. Provided that inedible incitement from confidants, then Bu Latifaa is a good mother for all employees.

Since that day, Rania tried to work even better. Focus more on her mission to become a different human being in her first 100 days of being a widow.

***

Rania tries to stalk Dani's Instagram. Although both have Instagram accounts, they do not follow each other. Especially Dani who took Rania out of her followers list. Apparently that day, there was a guest at Dani's house. Guests from Madiun. Sina. The figure that disappeared since the day promised a wedding for her.

Rania feels the need to question the woman's sanity. He picked up his phone and tried to contact Pina.

Connecting...wait for the update continue to be yes & &.
