100 Days of Being a Widow

100 Days of Being a Widow
Section 44 Jean, You are here again



One cloudy morning, after Rania takes her children to school and prepares for work. Yes, get word from its employees, if there has been a mass strike at Latifa Group.


The salaries of unpaid employees for several months are the reason they go on strike. Rania tried to calm herself down. The trade union is in talks with management. Discuss the fate of employees.


Rania stared blankly at the Latifaa building which had just no activity this time. He also heard that Bu Latifa was sick again, while the other two children decided to leave Latifaa group.


***


"Mrs Rania ...."


Someone called his name. Rania who was daydreaming at her desk was aghast.


"Yes. I'm..."


It turns out that Bu Latifa's secretary.


"Mother called you. Meet Ms. Latifa at her Health Clinic"


Rania nodded. He rushed to get a bag to go to the clinic where Bu Latifaa was being treated.


***


Rania passed through the stairs of the clinic, she saw many wreaths there. What was?


An atmosphere of grief enveloped a VVIP space. Mrs Latifa has passed away. Just now he was going to meet her, hoping to find the last message Ms Latifa wanted to say. But what he got was a greeting from heaven.


***


At the funeral a mourning atmosphere enveloped from the colleagues and brothers of Bu Rania. Strangely, he did not see any of Bu Latifa's children present at the funeral. But Rania didn't want to get too involved with it.


Rania decided not to go home with the funeral troupe. He wanted to arrange a bouquet of flowers scattered at the funeral. She was very focused on arranging flowers and afterwards read Yasin's letter to the person she had considered her mother.


After closing Yasin's book. He was surprised when there was someone who was also busy arranging flowers.


"Jean..."


Rania's eyes immediately sparkled.


Jean turned her face away.


"You still recognize me...?"


Ledek


Rania smiled haru. There was a happy cry that covered the raging feeling of that moment.


"I'm coming Rania..."


"You're lying, he said he'd be in Singapore for a hundred days!"


Rania meredek.


"Then, am I ignoring my role as a child?"


Rania fell silent and patted Jean on the shoulder.


"I'm sorry Jean, I didn't mean to..."


"Let's go home. We have a lot to talk about"


Said Jean cutting off the conversation, then gently pulled Rania's arm.


"About us?"


Said Rania with a soft tone.


"Yes. About your Iddah time!"


Jean was greeted with laughter by the two of them.


"hussttt we're grieving Jean!"


Jean fell silent. They continue their journey home to Mrs Latifa in Jean's car.


Along the way they are like lovers who are giving up longing.ah.ralat is not a lover, because this is friendly but not in the context of sexuality. They just looked, smiled at each other and yes.reinforcing each other because Bu Latifa just died.


***


The tahlilan event will be held for the next forty days, amid the turmoil that occurred in the Latifaa group company.


Rania more often visited the house of Bu Latifaa to help tahlilan activities. There is still Meta there who always sneers and comments on what Rania does. Making empty talk about the shrewdness of Rania in mastering Latifaa group. A cheap rumor for educated women like Meta.


Rania's power is fully charged . Until his heart is not able to be blazed with cheap gossip ala children alay. For him, his existence here is only to repay Bu Latifaa. If he had a chance to meet Mrs Latifa yesterday, of course she is sure that Ms. Latifa wants Rania to remain in the Latifaa group.


Meta is very jealous to see Jean return and remains close to the figure of a young widow with two children.


"What's special?!" Her thought.


He could not understand why Jean looked so comfortable near Rania. They're very familiar. Jean is famous for her cold attitude.


***


Jean took over the helm of the company. Although he knew, that after this, his two brothers would return to Latifaa group to fight over the company.


Jean sold some assets that were easy to cash in. Installing debts due and employee salaries.


This company he who woke up with his mother. Letting go of his youth was replaced by tired of work. Without thinking about the age that keeps getting old. After his wife passed away, Jean decided to focus on helping his mother run the business.


Now the company he started almost went out of business. His two brothers went somewhere.


***


"Rania.we're meeting for a minute"


Said Jean to Rania who was checking the stock of raw materials in the warehouse room.


Rania nodded her head in agreement, then followed Jean.


Climbing the stairs in an empty room. Only the sound of Jean and Rania's shoes clashed. Rania felt a chill at Jean's attitude. Jean's attitude was cold, but this time it was very different.


Jean sat on the couch . He opened his glasses and swept his face. The tired guest was very visible there. Rania decided to make a cup of sweet coffee. To be honest, he was afraid of the direction of the conversation this time. Jean doesn't usually take meetings just the two of them.


A cup of coffee was snatched Jean.


"Rania..."


"Yes Jean?"


Answer Rania.


"I'd like to sell all of Latifa group's shares without remaining"


Rania was stunned by what Jean said.


Silence moment.


" Have you thought carefully, Jean?"


Jean nodded.


"Before my mother died, she asked me to come home. He asked me to fix the company or roll this company"


"Why?"


"The company is no longer running in accordance with the corridor and the principle of initial management. My two brothers have made things complicated. If this company is not sold immediately or in bankruptcy, it will be back in the power of my brother, and what I fear is that this company will have a case with debts and employee rights!"


Rania speechless...


Thought, and...


"I do not agree if in bankruptcy, because if bankruptcy, the company must close completely. What about the fate of hundreds of employees who depend on the Latifa Group".


Rania. Start bowing. Little thought of his fate. The fate of hundreds of Latifaa Group employees.


"Rania, that's why I invited you to a meeting. I need your opinion"


Rania smiled wryly


"Why am I Jean. Other employees?"


"I don't know what I can really believe right now".


Rania smiled


"Thank you for trusting me Jean".


"Rania, will you start something new with me?"


Rania fell silent.


Think


" I'm not ready Jean"


Mumbled


"Why, Rania?"


"My Iddah is not finished yet"


Jean was silent


Perplexities


""You mean?"


Rania nodded and wavered.


"emmm..e...meaning"


Silently confused.


"You're taking me home, aren't you?"


Ask Rani shyly.


Jean who had just put on a cold face, could not help but laugh.


"God...." Jean muttered as she swept her face.


Rania is getting better


"Emmm...I mean you're living a new life...that new life?!"


Rania said while looking nervous.


Jean returned with her laughter.


"Rania.I mean I started something new. New business, new place..."


Said Jean while glancing mischievously at Rania, and managed to make Rania wrong.


Rania came back to the face of her best friend, who was always able to remove the strokes of fate that sometimes dragged her to be unable to escape from crying for people named Dani.
