Aak Thugs Me With You

Seeking Yourself

Deren opens the app on his phone, checking if he thinks there's any news about Mak Sumi's middle-aged husband that he helped this afternoon. Deren smiled when reading a message from the doctor he had sent to Mak Sumi's house. The doctor said the father does not need to be taken to the hospital just treatment and therapy at home is enough.

Deren smiled with satisfaction, he was happy with what he was doing now. Being able to help people who are counted as less capable is a pride for them.

"Thank God if it's not severe, please treat it until it heals" Deren replied to the doctor he trusted earlier.

"Every Boss," replied the doctor and then chatted.

Late in the night, Deren starts turning on his laptop and goes back to studying the material that Juan sent him last day. Juan turned out to be a reliable moment in terms of hospitality and tourism business. Even Juan also proposed the newly pioneered plantation was open for public tourism.

"It seems like there's no harm in trying" Deren muttered to himself, the house is very quiet but Deren feels comfortable.

The news of Yunita's pregnancy finally reached the ears of her siblings. Of course this is a very beautiful gift for a Deren who incidentally has no one but Yunita Mauren her biological sister. Even until now he himself has not dared to open who he really is to Yunita.

That afternoon, as usual, Deren was driving to an apple plantation which he had recently bought from one of the farmers who needed money for his medical expenses. At the suggestion of Deka, Yudha and Robet finally Deren was willing to buy the apple plantation.

Besides the cultivation of apples there are also some other fruits such as oranges, bananas and also crystal guava. Deren also pioneered his new business in the form of hotels and cafes. He began to learn a lot about business from some of his best friends such as Noviant Juan, Deka and his own brother-in-law. Even he was not shy about asking for advice and criticism from his seniors in a world that counted new to him.

Deren is enjoying his day as a young businessman now, the house he bought a few months ago is now a shelter. Deren also feels very comfortable even though his surroundings can now be said to be densely populated. The two-story house with a minimalist design that feels very comfortable for single men like him. Deren has only been here for a month but he is well known and disinclined in the neighborhood around his house, because of his hospitality and kindness.

Deren also hired two domestic assistants to take care of his home and garden. They usually come every Wednesday and Saturday to work at home.

When it comes to eating and other small jobs, he usually does it himself.

His best friend often reminds him to immediately look for a life companion but he always reasoned to want to strengthen his heart first to find his true identity. What is his desire and solidify his choice of trust that can make his heart and soul calmer.

During his frequent interactions with Deka and some of his workers Deren was more eager to deepen this new belief. Plus he had a dream that until now is still ringing in his memory.

Deren did not dare to make two sentences of shahada, because indeed he wanted to explore first until he felt sure as sure as sure that his choice this time was not wrong.

Deren is still concentrating on driving his favorite white car, very slowly because the environment where he lives is quite crowded and many small children. Besides that, he is also uncomfortable if he does not answer the greetings of the residents in his new environment. They were kind and friendly to him.

He wanted to take the prayer mat and go to the mosque with them but again the reason he wanted to understand and understand more was always to say first.

Soon, he finally reached his destination. On the plantation that was just starting to be pioneered, Deren hired three people to help him take care of this plant. Deren does not carelessly employ people, he also wants the people he employs are those who really understand the plants, how to care for and cultivate the plants.

“Cak piye, onok constraints ora (mas, no problem ga)?” deren asked Koliq one of his workers.

“Ga onok Bos(no boss) Alhamdulillah, Just have to add energy Bos gae (make) ngurus banana banana just keep the crystal guava. Fruit flies have begun to arrive,” replied Koliq as it is.

“Yo ga po po sing important iso kerjo karo ngerti plant (yes ga papa important can work and understand plants),” replied Deren agreed to the proposal of his workers.

“Any Boss!” the answer.

“Wis podo manganese urung (already on a meal yet)?” ask Deren again.

“Sampun Bos, this nembe mau dhuhur (already this boss just want to pray dhuhur),” replied Koliq again.

“Yo wis kono gek podo salat disik selehke gaweane (yes already pray first there put the work first),” Deren replied. The workers began to put down their work equipment and began to change their clothes in the warehouse storage of crops.

Deren left his workers and began to walk down the path to check his fruit crops. Again Deren did not stop being grateful for the blessings and gifts he had.

He felt like a God-chosen man who had been given the opportunity to enjoy the gift of more fortune and the opportunity to improve.

While enjoying this beautiful view, Deren sat in the hut where his workers put work equipment and food or drinks he brought from home, or sometimes this hut also becomes the resting place of the two workers after the warehouse storage of crops.

Deren looked at his two hands that were filled with tattoos. Deka said if he was sure of his beliefs now he should be willing to remove the tattoo he has.

Deren smiled when he remembered the words of the person he had considered his brother. Deka always tells Deren to make a choice first, make sure your heart is new to the decision. Yes ... That's how he thought his friends' advice was for this man who had doubts in his soul.
