"Tumben you found me, have you thought about working?" asked Risa, on the sidelines of those who are eating ketoprak as lunch.
Ketoprak is the favorite lunch menu of workers in this market, in addition to the cheap price is also complete, there is a lontong, toge as a vegetable and also white noodles, complete with crackers. Very delicious and also filling.
Since Elma married always spent her time at home, Risa has repeatedly invited Elma to work as well as her.
In addition to eliminating saturation, they can also help the family economy. Especially now that their children are old enough to be left to work.
And hearing the friend Elma's question smiled a little. Actually it has not crossed his mind to start working but hearing the offer it also feels wrong to start trying.
"But what does Ris do? I'm not an expert in all areas. You're good, pinter said."
"Can or not it depends on our will El, want to learn or not."
Elma did not answer, feeling that Risa's reply was too true to dispute.
"But what job?" elma asked at last.
"Seriously you want to work? if I'm serious let me find it, but if it's not there yet."
Elma nodded.
"What about Danu? will he allow you to work?" asked Risa again, she also knew Danu as Elma's husband. Risa does not want this invitation later even make the relationship between Elma and Danu become at odds. As far as Risa is concerned, Danu also does not allow Elma to work.
"About Danu later let me talk again, hopefully he will." Reply Elma, speaking as if her relationship with Danu is fine.
But like this Elma, she never told anyone about her household problems not even with Herman and Lusi, everything she kept herself in meetings. Enough he and Danu know.
"Well, if your husband doesn't allow it. I'm not gonna offer you a job."
And the thought of Danu further makes Elma steady to work.
Now that she has decided to part ways with Danu, Elma can no longer depend her life on that man. Inevitably at this time Elma should be able to stand on her own feet and lean on her own back.
Whatever he needs must be able to fulfill on his own. Also about Arkan he should think about how later.
After Arkan graduated, the child will continue his education to the High School level which will definitely cost more.
Thinking about it all makes Elma more steady to work immediately. Whatever it is he will do for his life and the child.
"El, I'm sorry I can't accompany you. I have to get back to work" Risa said after they finished lunch together.
Risa and Elma are walking back to the store.
"I'm the one who should be apologizing to Ris, my arrival makes you even more troublesome."
"Yes," Risa replied with a chuckle, making Elma also laugh softly.
"I'll let you know soon if there's a job opening."
"Yes Ris, I'm waiting for the good news."
After agreeing, they separated. Risa walks into a clothing store and returns to work while Elma decides to go straight home.
Going home with a calmer feeling and like finding a new purpose in life.
