A Husband's Love

Headstrong

"It's been a long time waiting, yeah" asked Vina after landing herself in her husband's car. Radit greeted Vina stroking Vina's hair gently. Vina put on the seat belt.

"It's only been a few minutes Bun" Radit replied as he turned his car toward the campus gate.

"I got a 70 yah," said Vina proudly. Radit chuckles. The way Vina tells value is like a child telling his papa.

"good. Ask for a gift from Dad?" ask Radit. Radit's words treat Vina like her daughter.

"I'm not a kid. Who can value like this ask for or should be given a gift," replied Vina pouting. Radit chuckled again.

"You are that loh Bun. I imagine if Kalina or Karina said that."

"What do I do?"

"Worrying mother."

"There's just. But thank you also to the father who was willing to teach me at home this course. It was really hard" Vina said. He told me about the results of the test. Including Sinta's low value. Radit also laughed when he heard that Sinta got a bad grade. But in his heart Radit praised Andre's professional attitude.

"We stopped by the pharmacy for a while" Radit said, stopping his car in the parking lot of a pharmacy.

"Buy what's up."

"Something. I'm just for a second. You just wait here" replied Radit. He opened the door and got out of the car.

"Save it in your bag. Don't get to see people, especially papa and mama," Radit said after returning to sit behind the wheel. He placed a white plastic bag on Vina's lap. Vina opened the plastic bag and took out the contents.

"That's Bun's supporting combat tool," Radit said as he chuckled. Vina was still closely watching the box.

"What is this for?" ask Vina plain. This was the first time he had held such a thing.

"Save it, mother. Later that night I show you how it works" Radit replied with a deep smile. Radit further widened his smile as Vina according to stuffed the box into her bag.

As soon as we got in front of the house. Vina and Radit went straight into the house and saw the twins.

"Elvano and Karina where's ma?" ask Vina. The only ones in the house were Mama Rita and Kalina. Two baby sitters and their two daughters are not in the room nor in the living room.

"Go with your father first. We're leaving now. The twins' clothes and equipment have been taken care of by your father" said Rita's mother.

"Have you gone there?" radit was surprised. He had not expected that his two in-laws would accompany their move.

"Yes. Jack and Anisa are asking that Papa Hendrik immediately take the children there," answered Rita's mother. Radit rubbed his face rough. He didn't want Papa Hendrik to meet his own biological father. Radit is afraid, papa Hendrik will tell the company's problems.

"Have you been away for a long time?"

"An hour ago," replied Rita.

"Come on. We're leaving now," Radit asked as he ran outside the house. Mama Rita who had previously prepared finally followed Radit's steps by carrying baby equipment While Vina held Kalina.

"Why hurry, yah" asked Vina before getting into the car.

"I'm afraid, papa Hendrik told me about the bun company."

"Isn't that better. How do you know there's a solution from papa Jack."

Radit did not respond to what Vina said. He focused on staring at the road and holding the steering wheel. His desire was only one at this moment. Quickly arrive at the house of memory lane before papa Hendrik tells the story.

"Sorry Bun, I went in first" Radit said after helping Vina get out of the car. He took the baby gear out of Rita's mom's hand. Radit ran into the house.

Radit saw his father holding Elvano and his mother holding Karina. Radit approached his parents and shook hands. Both of the faces of the old man looked happy. Radit's parents rarely visit to see their twin grandchildren. The condition of Anisa's mother who is often sick does not allow Radit's parents to visit often. Six months the twins were only about three times Jack and Anisa visited Hendrik's residence.

"Vina, sit here baby," call Anisa. Vina and Mama Rita are getting closer to the sofa. Mama Anisa shifted her seat so that Vina could sit next to her. Mama Anisa asks Kalina to take turns in my seat while Karina has changed hands to Radit.

"Thank you ma" replied Vina. Radit who was already sitting in the living room was very proud to have a wife like Vina. Especially after seeing Mama Anisa and Vina every meet must sit together and their conversation continues. Mama Anis and Mama Rita were heard asking each other the news.

"Vin, your tame son is the same as you," asked Anisa's mother with a smile. Radit glares.

"Jinak. Not just tame. Radit mama's son has also returned to the right path" Vina replied while holding back a smile. Radit had also been staring at Vina fatly. His lips smiled at his wife's words. Jack and Hendrik, as well as Mama Rita and mama Anisa laugh together.

"Thank God, son. If he's like that. Mama fired him into mama's son."

"No will ma. As Vina said. I've returned to the right path" Radit replied.

"Returning to the right path involves Radit's responsibility. I heard the company is faltering again. Why?" jack asked, arriving. Radit who initially looked relaxed had now started to get nervous.

"Yesterday was shaky. But the end has begun to stabilize."

"Stable how. If the income statement is like this," said Jack, lifting the map in front of him and giving it to Radit.

"Where did you get this?" radit asked in surprise and surprise. He had already warned the office staff not to divulge the matter to his papa. Besides Radit doesn't want his papa to be disappointed. Radit also does not want to burden the mind of Jack who has retired from the company. For Radit. In the old days of his father as he is today. His father should have heard his success was not bankruptcy. But hope does not match reality. The company was shaken when he struggled to get the love of his wife. Lucky he had a wife like Vina who was sincere and not matre. If he's married to Donna or any other woman. It's probable. Radit was left in a state of decline.

Radit opened the map. He checked the numbers on the paper. That number is what happened at Radit's company. If Jack could have known the report. Means not Hendrik who reported the company's problems to the papa.

"We go to work first" said Radit. Vina and the others just nodded.

"Explain how our company could be almost bankrupt like this" said papa Jack sharply. The employees who work in the company are selected, skilled and experienced personnel. Papa Jack is really selective to hire employees in his company. And before Jack decides to retire from the company. Papa Jack has raised these employees to be permanent employees with guaranteed welfare. Jack did that to prevent those employees from resigning.

"Papa's story length."

"Tell me," tell Papa Jack firmly.

"It started with a mining company outside the city. They cheat. First with the price of compensation that changes change. Then the chief wanted me to marry his daughter. It started there, Pa. And impact to the core company pa."

"I'll contact your partner to invest in our company Radit. I hope you can really work if he's willing to invest in our company."

"Who's papa's partner."

"Handoko. He owns the biggest company in town. Our company is nothing compared to his company."

Radit is shocked to hear Handoko's name being mentioned by his father. As a businessman, he knew that figure. Handoko is a highly respected successful entrepreneur in the country. Contributions to the country's economy make Handoko very respected among businessmen even in the ranks of officials in this country.

"I don't want to cooperate with Handoko pa's company. About investing, I am also now looking. Anyways. The company has improved. It only takes time to return as before" Radit replied.

"What do you mean Radit. It takes you time to say?. Until when?" Your child needs to eat. Employees who are being kept need to eat. If you just wait for time, you will get nothing. You have to move fast Radit. Must be able to take advantage of the opportunity well," said papa Jack has begun to be provoked emotions.

"I know it's pa. But trust me. I can definitely handle this without working with Handoko."

"I'm starting to not believe you. Here's proof. I left him the company with very good circumstances to you. In just a few years, you almost bankrupted the company."

Radit. What his father said was true. But he has also been trying hard to lead the company that his father inherited. Radit. He could not bear to see the eyes of his father who looked very disappointed.

"Sorry papa. I promise I will be more earnest to overcome this problem" Radit said regretfully.

"I gave you two months. If no. The company will remain the name. And you can't refuse to cooperate with Handoko. I'll call right now."

"Don't pa. I told you that I don't want to work with Handoko's company. Point," Radit said firmly. Jack who originally wanted to take the phone out of his pants pocket is now staring at Radit full of question marks.

"Why Radit. Give me a good reason."

"There's no excuse papa. It's just that I don't want to cooperate with him" Radit replied with emphasis.

"Stupid. If you have no reason. That means you don't want the company to bounce back. You think the company went bankrupt. What do you want to eat. You don't see three babies you have to feed."

Jack stared intently at the face of his stubborn son rejecting the cooperation. He felt very confident that this company would rise again if the cooperation between his company and Handoko owned company was established.

"The discussion is here pa. No hesitation. Just waiting for time" Radit said to reassure his father. Not to believe in Radit. Papa Jack picks up his phone and calls Handoko. Seeing that Radit clucked in annoyance. Papa Jack looks very happy to hear his interlocutor.

"Handoko agrees. Tomorrow they'll come to our office. I hope you are being polite and show your dignity as a leader. Even though it's the leader of a company that is almost bankrupt," said papa Jack increasingly upset Radit.

"Then. Papa is the one who cooperates with the company. I'll resign from the company tomorrow" Radit said. If papa Jack still insists on forcing himself to work with Handoko. It was better to leave the company.

"If you resign and are unemployed. You love what they eat. Want to find a job?. You think it's easy to find a job right now?" ask papa Jack sharply.

"Learning in charge you Radit. Not because of your stubbornness. Our wives and children do not eat and suffer."

Radit was silent again. He no longer denied his father's words. Radit came out of that workroom. In the living room there was only mama Rita and mama Anisa who were talking casually. Radit stepped into the nursery of his twins. In the room, Vina and her twins were sitting on the floor covered in carpet. Seeing Vina and the three twins chattering. Radit wanted to give them enough material.

"Mother, I want to talk. Can you?" ask Radit.

"We go to the room only," said Radit again who saw Vina just nod without intending to move from her seat.

"You really want to talk. Don't want to ask for anything else" asked Vina. Radit nodded his head weakly. Look at Radit's lethargic face. Vina was filled with question marks on her brain. Vina came out of the room after calling the two baby sitters to accompany her twin baby.

"Speak what?" ask Vina. They were already sitting on the edge of the bed in their room upstairs.

"Bun. If I leave the company and look for work. According to mother how?.

Vina surprised. He moved for a while to neutralize his shock.

"Why yeah. Any problem with papa?" ask Vina gently. Radit took a breath and exhaled his coarse breath.

"If that's the best you think. I just follow ya. You just need to remember. The cost for our needs is very high. Three twins and my tuition. If you're looking for a job. Guess where do you want to find a job?" ask Vina again. Hearing her husband wanted to leave the company and find work, Vina concluded that there was a debate in the workspace.

"I'll ask Andre again. Do you know there are vacancies on your campus. I don't know what it is. Cleaning services. I also want the twins to drink milk."

"yeah. Stories to me. What made you take this decision" asked Vina. He actually happened with the words Radit. But he also suspected what caused Radit to behave this way.

"Papa forced me to cooperate with Handoko bun."

"Why not yah?. Radit was silent.

"It's because of the past. If because of that. May I know yah."
