Ambition And Magic

Chapter 7 Votes Above the Ceiling

At night Renita fell down in prostration, only putting himself on the Creator reduces the suffering

felt by that woman. Last afternoon at the office, Renita was given zam zam water in a small mineral water bottle by Bu Tissa colleagues in the Management program. Coincidentally the second daughter of Bu Tissa just returned from Umrah worship, and left Zamzam water for Renita.

Currently Renita has completed Tahajud 8 rakaat, and three rakaat Witir prayers. Holding a bottle of Zamzam water, she prayed and seemed resigned to face the Qiblah.

“Yes Allah.if this eye pain is a punishment and as a reprimand for the sins of the servant, Inshaa Allah the servant

ridho yes Allah. But if the servant is still allowed to ask, I beg you to give healing, O Allah.” With tears unceasingly dripping, Renita drank a mouthful of Zamzam water, then dripped a few drops into her eyes.

After performing the ritual, calmness appeared in Renita's heart. Ordinary women are always cheerful and visible

happy that, lately often slumped in sadness. Although to read has been assisted glasses, but sometimes there are some letters that are missing from his vision. Nevertheless, a determination to change appeared on Renita's chest. Despite not being able to see clearly, the woman always forced herself to read the Qur’an. If there is one verse that she cannot read clearly, Renita will call her first son to help see the Hijaiyah and what it sounds like.

“It's finished praying Mam.” Andri who had awoken first asked his wife.

“Already well just now, my own father has prayed?” while folding her face, Renita asked back. That woman

then roll up the prayer mat, and put the mucena folds in it, then keep it Back.

“Continues have been since. Mama wants to fast Monday no, if you want, I've made a side dish on the dining table. We can eat sahur together.” subtly, Andri invites Renita to eat sahur.

“Yes well.. ayukk.. Renita also plans to fast Monday Thursday.” The couple then walked

heading to the dining table.

Two glasses of hot sweet tea, salted fish, and eggs are presented on the table. Cayenne pepper and

thinly sliced red onion, already presented with soy sauce melts on it. Renita took the plate and filled it with rice taken from Magic Com which was in the corner of the kitchen. After filling up, the woman then took her in front of her husband to sit down.

“Makasih mah..” says Andri.

The two then began to enjoy eating sahur with that simple menu. But suddenly..

“Place.. duarr.” sounds like there is a pebble falling on the ceiling, and it happened several times.

“What is it well.?” Renita stopped the movement of her hand, and asked while looking at her husband's face. Andri was also surprised, but quickly the man calmed his mind.

“One of the most dry cement falls to the ceiling mah.. Just continue eating it, worried about it in a moment

Imsak.” Andri tried to calm his wife down,

“Masak.., our building has been a long time. Cook still any cement that falls off, often again.” Renita as if

she doubted her husband's answer.

Renita fell silent, but in her heart she doubted her husband's answer. But seeing her husband who remained

calmly continuing to eat his sahur, Renita finally finished his meal immediately. Moments later, the couple ended eating sahur. While waiting for the time of Shahuh, Renita immediately cleaned the place to eat and washed the dishes and dirty glasses.

 The Office

Seeing Renita has returned to the office and move as usual, Prof. Dahlan called the woman to come to her study. Niken, the administrative staff of the Rectorate conveyed a message to him.

“Okay.. thanks ya mbak.” Renita immediately saved the file she was opening. After confirming the file was stored, the woman then walked out from inside her study.

Passing through the desk of the Secretary and the admin staff, Renita smiled and nodded her head at the two young men.

Then not long after, Renita knocked on the Rector's office door three times.

“Tok.. tok.. tok.

“Log.” Renita pushed open the door of the Rector's office, then walked towards his lead's desk.

“Good morning sir, you call me.” with a stale talk, Renita asked the Rector a question.

“Iya sit.” Hearing the orders from the number one leader in the UP, Renita immediately sat down in front of her desk.

Renita waited a while, because Mr. Dahlan was still seen checking some files, then gave the disposition of the letters according to the assignment of each field of work. At last... Profs. Dahlan put away some files and piled up next to her desk, and the man looked at Renita, and he looked at her,

“How are you doing, Doctor says what about Renita's illness?” apparently Prof. Dahlan attentively inquired about the treatment he was doing.

“Analysis results doctor said I had an eye stroke sir, there is blood and fat coming out of the vessels in the retina so that it closes a small portion of the eye view. But it is not yet known what causes it.” unwittingly, When Renita tells of her illness, tears well up in her eyelids.

“Doctor action if so, is given medicine or how?” The Rector continued the question.

“While there is no action sir, according to medical science he said observed first at least three months until

with six months. Only later will be done Actions.” nothing is covered, Renita tells of the treatment.

Profs. Dahlan was speechless, the middle-aged man had a lot of life experience, and also understood how

life in place of the Institution he leads today. But to save himself, Prof. Dahlan tends to be silent doing nothing.

“Taken only how the advice of the doctor mbak, we can only pray and pray for each other. Hopefully it doesn't happen

anything for next.” Profs. Dahlan tries to calm Renita down.

“Iya sir. plans later tonight also want to find a second opinion sir. We want to see a senior ophthalmologist at Jalan Parangtritis, which is currently continued by his son.” Renita put forth her idea.

“That's good, so we don't just believe in the results of one doctor's analysis. If not wrong, the clinic in Jalan Parangtritis was owned by Doctor Serodja, but is currently continued by his son, because Mr. Sarodja is dead,” Prof. Dahlan supports Renita to seek second opinion.

After talking about the pain suffered by his men, Prof. Dahlan immediately delivered a summary of the results of the joint work unit leadership coordination meeting with the Foundation.

“Good sir. as soon as possible I will invite the Implementation Team and Budgetary Organizer, to do the calculation

budget.” Renita quickly undertakes to Return to complete her responsibilities.

“Yes done immediately, if there's anything Renita can tell me. I think it's enough, Miss Renita

can Go back to the room to finish the other work.” Finally Prof. Dahlan ended his coordination with WR II.

“Good sir, I say goodbye. Thank you.” Renita immediately left the rector's office and headed back to her room.
