This afternoon looked very bright with its sun. Outside the weather is very hot. In the house of Asiyah there is no AC because the electricity cost is quite expensive, because, it is impossible if you have to spend money just to pay for electricity while to eat only Asiyah and Umi have to set aside money little by little from their efforts.
But nothing, at home there is also a fan. Asiyah had already bought a fan from her salary while working in the office first. It is also good to educate yourself with the wind it produces.
At 01:00 noon.
Asiyah was just watching television at home with Umi.
Ali and Aisyah took a nap in her room. As usual, the two of them rested after a tired day of studying at school and also because of achieving play.
Ttookk.. "Assalamu'alaykum, good afternoon," a voice came from the door of Asiyah's house. Someone came like him. A guest.
"Wa'alaykumussalam," replied Umi slightly shouting. Umi hurried to open the front door of her house. Check who the guest is.
"Sorry Mom, is this Asiyah's house?" ask Umi. The man while showing photos of Asiyah circulating in the news at the time of his case in the restaurant at that time.
"This is the house of Asiyah" replied Umi. Little wonder when he met the man, especially when he showed a photo of Asiyah in the newspaper.
"Who's Mi?" asked Asiyah from the door of her room. He immediately prepared to go into his room, about to put a veil on his head when Umi opened the door of the house earlier.
Umi approached Asiyah. Leaving the man for a moment at the door. "Don't know Umi, he said looking for you son, man, his style is strange, let's meet, we ask the purpose of his arrival," explained Umi, inviting Asiyah.
"Yes Mi, Asiyah put on the veil for a while," Asiyah rushed to perfect the hijab that had been installed on her head. Closing aurat.
Now Asiyah and Umi are dealing with him. A male guest. His style is like most slang kids. Children are carried away by the flow of appearance fashion in his day.
Her hair was bright red, neatly combed to the right. His face was pure white, very slippery. It looks like her skin care costs are expensive. It's like flies will slip if they stop by the skin. The clothes are okay, also looks luxurious and expensive, seen from the brand that dangles out on the sidelines of the fabric seams. Overseas brand.
Subhanallah..why is this man looking for Asiyah? Umi and Asiyah thought in their hearts. Their thinking is compact with the same questions.
The man is still waiting outside. Look around the house. Poking his index finger into the front window of the house, he felt it by rubbing dust on the index finger into his thumb, then blowing it in a haughty style.
I don't know what he's really doing. What does it mean to do such things in the house of Asiyah.
Umi let the man into the house. Asiyah followed.
"Let's go sir, please come in first, it looks like there's something important huh? Let's just talk inside" Umi said, hinting that her right palm led the man into the house. Well-mannered.
"Yes Ma'am, thank you, I'm just for a moment, not for long" the man replied with a friendly smile.
Walk each leg, walk into the house to the living room. Now they sit face to face in the living room chair.
"So here's Mom, I'm Joints from artist management, I intend to invite Asiyah to join the management of artists owned by Me, with an official employment contract with legal entities of course, Mother can see My business card," clearly Joints briefly and quickly while extending his business card to Umi.
Umi welcomed the business card with her hand.
Asiyah noticed and also checked the business card with Umi.
"What does this mean sir? And what does the contract mean? I do not understand," asked Asiyah who looked confused.
Asiyah was silent. Doubtful about the man's words.
"Asiyah take it easy, don't worry, I've prepared our cooperation contract, I'm sure Asiyah will not reject my offer, Asiyah can read it first, I'm waiting for the results of her decision tomorrow in My office, I'm sure Asiyah will not refuse, by submitting this contract letter that you have signed," explained Mr. Jendi while submitting the cooperation contract letter to Asiyah.
Asiyah greeted him with her hands, still with doubt on her face yet full of hope.
Umi looked serious. Like somewhat suspecting Mr. Jendi, but trying to cover his mind from Asiyah. It could be just his feelings. You can't think negatively too quickly. After all, Mr. Jendi has shown his identity. Also be polite.
"Well, I think everything is clear, I still have business elsewhere, thank you for receiving My arrival well, Umi, Asiyah, I'll excuse you first," Mr. Joints stood up from the chair. Hurriedly. Looks like there's something else to do. And the affair with Asiyah this time was indeed done. Just wanted to convey that.
"Ohh yeah, Asiyah doesn't have a twin sister huh? Where are they?" ask Mr. Sendi while turning his body just to ask about it.
"Yes sir, Ayesha and Ali by name, they are in the room, taking a nap" replied Umi.
"Yes, yes, yes, these hours are indeed the time for children to take a nap," Mr. Sendi threw a smile, friendly.
Umi and Asiyah let go of Mr. Jendi with hope for the truth of his speech. Umi and Asiyah waited for Mr. Jendi's departure until he completely disappeared from their sight.
Although his appearance looks like a young child, but his wife in staying awake as someone who has a name big enough, when viewed from his business card earlier. Asiyah and Umi were amazed to see him. Yes, that respect automatically appears for Mr. Jendi.
Back into the house. Umi and Asiyah immediately read the contents of the cooperation contract letter given by Mr. Jendi earlier.
"Maa is Allah, Umiii.. Asiyah didn't see this wrong, did she? One billion Mi! This much money can be to pay off our debt to Mr. Subroto and also pay off the installment of this house, even with this money we can also finance the school of Aisyah and Ali until the end of Mi," asiyah said enthusiastically. How surprised he was. Almost dislodged his heart saw the nominal figure listed in the cooperation contract.
"Try, where Umi saw," Umi immediately took the file from Asiyah's hand. Read it carefully.
"Yes Allah, I have signed my son, tomorrow in Shaa Allah Umi accompany you to Pak Jendi's office, this is the sustenance of Allah, Allah has answered our do'a-do'a Son," without thinking Umi said like that. As if He trusted Pak Jendi 100% after seeing the nominal large number earlier.
"Aamiin ya rabbal'alamin, yes Umi," Asiyah immediately prepared all her needs to meet Pak Jendi tomorrow morning with Umi. Do not forget the cooperation contract file was immediately signed.
An hour passed. Asiyah is ready with all her equipment tomorrow.
Suddenly Asiyah came out of her room and immediately met Umi who was watching television.
"Mi, is Umi sure, tomorrow we will still go to see Mr. Jendi?" Asiyah was a little worried. It seemed that from earlier in the room he had been thinking long about this decision.
"Why is it, son? It's okay, we believe it, there's no harm in trying, right?" Umi smiled at Asiyah. Although the fear was also in Umi's mind.
"Ashiyah was afraid of deceiving Mi, could it be, the man knew of our situation in this difficult time, then he took the opportunity of it?" guess Asiyah in her anxiety. Asiyah really felt a fear.
"Already, just believe in Umi, tomorrow we go together, so, if tomorrow there are things that feel suspicious, we cancel everything, okay?" Umi clear. With great confidence calmed Asiyah.
"Yes Mi," Asiyah nodded. Go back to his room. Leaving Umi in front of the television.
Anyway, Asiyah should keep the spirit of endeavour. When will Asiyah rise again? If this is not the time to try again. Ali and Aisyah were sleeping from their nap. For their sake, yes, all for their sake. Bismillahs..
