After the Rain

Job Offers

Without notice, month after month Daniar passed to accompany his mother in the house of the late Hajjah Minah. Many negative comments from people who are not responsible for their existence there. However, the words of the deceased children who are none other than the cousin of Miss Salma that make them close their eyes and ears will nyinyiran nosy neighbors.

This afternoon, Yandri came home from work with a sad face. In fact, all afternoon he just locked himself in the room. Making Ms. Salma's forehead wrinkle at the sight of her unusual daughter-in-law's behavior.

"Why do you have husband, son? When he got home from school, he just hung himself in his room. Any issues?" ask Miss Salma.

Niar who was cleaning the dining table for dinner preparation, only glanced at the closed room door. "Come, Ma. Niar doesn't know either."

"Aren't you the same as Yandri, brother?"

"Not yet, Mom."

"Yes already, mumpung has not magrib as well. You'd better meet him and talk nice. Fear is that your husband is having problems, sister," continued Ms. Salma.

Daniar nodded. "If so, Niar to the room first. Just a little star, Mom. He's watching cartoons again."

"Yes, go!" concluded Ms. Salma.

Daniar nodded back. She then entered her room to talk to her husband. Arriving at the room, Daniar saw Yandri was sleeping on his back with both arms. His eyes looked straight at the ceiling. However, those eyes looked very empty. In fact, the man did not even realize that Daniar was approaching and sitting next to him.

"Well," call Daniar, but Yandri doesn't seem to hear Daniar's call.

"Dad!" Again Daniar called. However, Yandri did not look. I don't know where the man's mind is going.

Daniar took his breath. She realized that her husband's mind was empty right now. Slowly, Daniar lowered his head and brought his face closer. She then touched her husband's lips with hers.

Yandri gasped in shock at getting a fleeting kiss from his wife. He smiled lightly while flirting with his wife. "Stage, Bun. Magrib soon," he said.

"Ish, you pervert," Daniar said. "Mother kiss Dad on purpose, let me realize. Then Dad again daydreaming what the hell? I have called twice, but no nyahut. Boro-boro nyahut, noleh also not," continued Daniar.

"really?" yandri asked, surprised. He then got up and sat facing his wife. "Mother what does it take to call Dad? Need Daddy's help?" ask again.

"No, Dad. Mommy just wants to talk to Daddy. We haven't talked together in a long time" replied Daniar.

"Hehehe, Mother is right too. But by the way, where are the stars going? Tumben the boy did not ngekorin Mother," ledek Yandri.

"Hmm, the star is still watching his favorite cartoon, Dad. Yeah, too, huh? Usually if Mother does not look, she immediately nyari," said Daniar who just realized the attitude of his only daughter.

"Hmm, maybe as we get older, the stars have started to understand as well, Bun," replied Yandri.

"Hmm, it could be," Daniar said. "By the way, Well .. of the Mother was observed, why do you keep moody since coming home from school. Any issues?" ask Daniar

Yandri rested his back on the back of the bed. He returned to his face while taking a deep breath. A moment later, he began to tell me about what his thoughts were right now.

"It's been years that I've been a sukwan in school, but there has been no improvement in welfare, Bun. Even after graduating from college, there is no certification opportunity. Government policy is always changing, while our needs are increasing. The stars will soon be in SD. Yes, although the cost of elementary school is not yet. However, sometimes there are a lot of unexpected things and we have absolutely no savings for it" said Yandri.

"Did anything happen today at school that made you think that far?" terka Daniar's.

It has been more than seven years that Daniar has lived in a household with Yandri. Therefore, he had already begun to be able to understand Yandri's attitude.

"Why do you ask like that?" yandri asked, astonished.

Daniar smiled, "our togetherness wasn't just yesterday afternoon, Dad. Therefore Mother knows how the character of Father when experiencing disappointment at work," said Daniar. "What happened, Dad?" ask Daniar again.

Yandri again sighed. "Today, registration for certification has begun. And it turns out, the list is back again according to age," replied Yandri.

"And your father's age is too young to be able to follow the registration?" guess Daniar.

"Dad knows, why do you still survive with Dad?" ask Daniar.

Yandri stared intensely at his wife in search of answers. "Of course it's because Dad's handsome" he said narcissistically.

"Idih ge-er," said Daniar,

"Want to?" Yandri asked again.

"Hmm, that's because Daddy's a man who doesn't give up easily" Daniar replied.

Yandri smiled faintly. "Dad didn't give up, Bun. Just thinking, did you stop being a teacher? Maybe you should change professions to be a farmer, or a fishmonger? In comparison, their income is far more than the income of the highest honorary teacher, the salary is only 500 thousand" said Yandri.

Daniar smiled, "But his passion is different, Dad. Try to feel it. Wherever you go, people greet you with respect. Moreover, children kiss the back of our hands as a form of respect. They respect us for our profession, Dad. Niar had never seen him, and there were children kissing the back of the hand of a farmer or a fisherman, except for his own son. Hehehe, man,.... It is Yah, not Niar comparing one's profession. Whatever the work, as long as it is halal, Mother can accept. However, if you stop being a teacher, your mother and brother will surely laugh at your efforts all along. And Niar is sure, brother Bibah and Yoga, will certainly be intensively insinuating the efforts of the Father in vain," said Daniar.

"Huss, Bunny. Don't su'udzon it ah, it's not good!" yandri reminded.

"Not su'udzon Yah, but it's a fact that will be there if Dad decides to quit his ideals. If the edges are going to be like them too, then what's college Dad for? That's what they'll think of later, Dad," Daniar replied.

Yandri. It is undeniable that what his wife said was true. People who used to be envious because of the education he took, of course, will laugh with satisfaction if until he quit his current job.

"Astaghfiullah!" yandri Gumam.

"Oh well, don't mind too much. In a moment magrib, we wudhu yuk!" bring Daniar. "We pray together," he concluded.

While chatting casually in the living room, Tania suddenly called her niece

"Niar, come here!" call Tania.

Daniar approached Tania saying, "Wak needs something?"

"Wow, Uwak just want to talk to you, Ni," replied Tania.

"Oh, alright," Daniar replied as he sat down before Tania.

"Begini Niar, Uwak wants to nawarin Yandri work at Maz Islamic Boarding School, about he would not, huh?" ask Tania.

Daniar was quite stunned to hear the job offer for her husband. Everyone knows that it is not easy to work in this place. An international based boarding school. Even the students are from several neighboring countries.

Oh my God .. What dream did you have last night, to the point of being offered to work in such a bona fide place? inner Daniar.

Daniar was stunned to hear Tania's question. "Eh, later Niar try to ask first with Yandri kang, Wak," he replied.

"Oh yeah, talk to Yandri. Uwak wait for Yandri's answer as soon as possible yes, Ni."

"Well, Wak!"
