As long as the hospital project has not been fully completed, Reza was forced to go back and forth from Jakarta to Bandung. Not infrequently he will go home until late at night and go again after performing dawn prayers. Sometimes Lira is worried about her husband's health. But, Lira could not do anything because all had been a decision Reza who chose not to stay in Bandung. Lira can only pray, may her husband always be protected in all calamities.

This morning, this morning, Lira was busy with her responsibility to prepare the needs of her husband who was forced to stay for several days in Bandung because the construction of the hospital was almost completed was suddenly getting a demo from some residents around. Even before the project was running, Reza had first taken care of his licensing and had paid off some of the land owned by residents in the project environment.

As the owner of the hospital, Reza had to intervene on her own to deal with the problems that suddenly came hampering her project.

"Mas, toiletries are the same perfume, lira is simple here huh." Said Lira while putting Reza's equipment into a small black bag devoted to storing her husband's personal belongings.

"Yes, baby." Reza replied without taking her eyes off her phone.

Currently, Reza is contacting Ferdi to replace him handling the company, as long as Reza is in Bandung.

Lira kept pacing back and forth putting Reza's clothes into the suitcase. Do not forget also a thick jacket to keep from the cold. Several times Lira checked, afraid there are still important items left behind or forgotten. Once it was complete, Lira walked over to the sofa where Reza was sitting.

"All is ready, sir." Lira said as she dropped her ass on the sofa late next to Reza who was still busy with her phone.

"Thank you, baby."

"Either. Oya, did you tell my brother if you want to go out of town?"

"No, honey. Actually I can't bear to leave you guys, but the problem there is quite serious and must be handled directly."

"No papa, mas. Importantly, while there mas should not be late to eat, do not forget to pray and mas should take care of health."

"Yes, honey. My wife is very attentive.

So more love, huh."

Reza hugged the tiny body of Lira accompanied by a kiss on the tip of her head. It was hard leaving his wife and son. Although only three days, but Reza felt unable to be far from his two soul mates.

"Yes yes, my mom. It's late for departure."

Lira looked up at her husband who was reluctant to let go of his comfortable embrace.

"Mas, yes."

"Five minutes, baby."

Lira resigned as Reza hugged him tightly and then kissed his entire face without a single one being missed. At first Lira was amused, but she understood how her husband felt at this time.

"Honey also have to take care of health, yes. If you need something or want to eat something again, ask for a home assistant. And one more thing, baby can't be tired." Reza said after peeling the whole face of Lira.

"Yes, mas. Yuk, we're going down." Take Lira while holding Reza's hand towards the living room. While Reza only nodded weakly following Lira's small steps.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

"Papa go to work first, baby. Brother can't bother you, okay!"

"Okay, papa."

Reza hugged Inas' tiny body and carried him towards the car. Not to forget Reza kissed the puffed cheeks of Inas who looked more funny and immediately greeted with loud laughter by Inas.

Reza said goodbye to his parents by kissing the backs of his parents' hands. After that, Reza turned to his wife who was standing in front of him. He rested in front of Lira's distended stomach and rubbed her stomach and kissed her many times. After that, Reza kissed Lira's forehead warmly and Lira replied by kissing the back of her husband's hand.

"By leaving, baby. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Yes, mas. Wa'alaikumussalam Warahmatullah's. Be careful on the road, yeah." Lira said with a gentle smile on her face.

"Yes, honey. God willing."

"Sir Jono, please be careful yes, don't speed." Lira.

"God willing, Non Lira." Reply Jono politely.

Reza again kissed the two cheeks of Inas and then lowered it from the sling. Then Reza got into the car.

Yes, Reza deliberately used a car rather than a plane because he felt more free and could go directly to the location of the project. In addition, unbeknownst to Lira, Reza intends to visit someone, after her affairs are over.

Lira continued to watch Reza's car until it disappeared from her sight, then she entered the house with Inas and his two in-laws.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

Reza arrived in Bandung after a journey of approximately three hours. He went straight to the hotel where he stayed for a few days to rest, before he would go to the project site to meet the project workers who wanted to meet him. Reza took his cell phone and called his wife.

"Assalamu'alaikum, baby."

"Wa'alaikumussalam Warahmatullah's. Have you arrived in Bandung?"

"Udah, baby. Just arrived and went straight to the hotel."

"Mas, have you eaten?"

"Udah, baby. Before going to the hotel, I stopped by to eat at the restaurant. If you and your sister have eaten, haven't you?"

"Boy sister, have eaten. The lira hasn't."

"So Lira had eaten the Ijo bean porridge, so Lira was still full."

"Yes already. But if you love laper, eat it right away."

"Yes, my mom."

"Yes first, baby. Pray to the project site. Take care of your health and don't forget, the vitamins are taken."

"Yes my super-buffed husband."

Reza chuckled at the words of Lira who said it was a baffle. But it is so. Reza was very chatty about anything about his content. But, Reza will be more chatty when it comes to the food that Lira wants to eat. If the Lira wants to eat snacks outside, Reza must first see the cleanliness of the food. Not infrequently Lira was upset with her husband's excessive attitude. But that is the form of love and affection Reza on Lira.

"All for the good, baby. So you can't protest."

"Hmmm. Yes, my mother."

"Yes, baby. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam Warahmatullah."

Reza ended his call and smiled, seeing the faces of his wife and children on his phone screen. Just a few hours later they separated, but Reza was already feeling homesick for his son and wife.

Reza chose to rest for a while to relieve his fatigue. He still has about half an hour before entering the prayer time.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

Reza was already at the project site and immediately met some of his workers who had been waiting for him since a while ago.

Reza got out of his car with a cold face without a smile, as he used to do when dealing with other people, besides his family.

The project workers stood up as Reza walked towards them. Without further ado, Reza immediately sat between them

"Just right away, what's the reason people suddenly protest?

"Look, sir. Actually some of the residents who do not have a job, ask to work on this project as construction workers. We refused because it is full and does not require additional energy. They get angry and invite other citizens who also do not have a job to protest here. If their wishes are not met, then they threaten to damage this building.." Answer a project person calmly and clearly.

"Then, arrange a meeting time with them at one of the restaurants around here. Ask them to meet me after the ashar prayer later. " Let Reza be firm.

The workers immediately nodded obediently. The project's in charge was assigned to meet one of the protesters at his home and deliver a message from Reza, the owner of the hospital.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

After the Ashar prayer, Reza headed straight to a restaurant near the project to meet some residents. Unexpectedly, it turned out that they had arrived earlier than the allotted time. They can't wait to see the owner of the hospital.

Reza came with Jono and two bodyguards standing right behind him. It wasn't that Reza was afraid, it was just that he chose to be on guard. How do you know one of them is carrying a sharp weapon.

Reza sat in the middle of them quietly and immediately started a conversation.

"I hear you guys are protesting and asking for this hospital project to be stopped immediately. As far as I know, all procedures have been followed. I also have a license to build a building from the local government. Then what makes you suddenly protest at this almost finished project?" Reza asked calmly, but his gaze looked extremely intemidating.

The residents, who had been very excited now immediately shrieked to see the eyes of Reza who looked so frightening. They were directly against each other. Of them, no one dared to open their voice. They only dared to duck with a body that was already sweating coldly.

Finally, one of them opened his voice and told him all the reasons they were protesting in a stammering voice out of fear.

Reza smiled cynically after hearing their reasoning. Just because they want to get a job, they have to do something that is not commendable and unsettling.

"So, the reason you're protesting is just because you weren't given a job?" Reza asked, repeating their statement.

"Yes, sir."

Reza propped his hands up to his chin and looked at the people in front of him one by one.

"alright. I'll give you guys a job on that project, but on condition."

"What are the conditions, sir?"

"You can't do such an unworthy thing again. Remember, you have children and wives who must be fed with lawful money. Not in this kind of threatening way."

"Good, sir. We promise, we won't repeat this again."

"And one more thing, if the project is completed and has been inaugurated, I will hire you at that hospital but according to your expertise."

Before meeting some of the residents, Reza had first found out about their background. Reza became unbearable when he knew that the residents had been victims of slavery from one of the large enough factories in the Maluku Island area . They work every day, from morning to night without being paid to make their families in the village miserable because the backbone does not send money.

From there, Reza intends to help by providing work so that their families can live properly.

"Good, sir. Thank you so much for your kindness."

"I assume this discussion is over. Please order the food you want. You can also order food for your family at home."

They immediately nodded happily. This is the first time in their lives they can enjoy fine dining from a fine restaurant.

Reza felt full as he looked at their palm which was so hard, chipped and rough. Reza became reminded of his wife who also had rough hands because of the hard work that Lira wrestled with. I want it to feel like Reza is coming home soon and hugging the tiny body of his wife who so he misses.
