"Yes. Mas... There's good news. But, this is also news that is not necessarily fun."


Danang told his heartbreak, to his wife, Della, at work break. The two of them were sitting in the parking lot, after returning from their lunch.


"What news?"


Della became curious, with the news being mentioned by her husband. In fact, Danang was not sure to tell the news.


"Hhh. earlier, when Mas was called to HRD earlier you know. That's Mr. Yus, would say if, Mas will be appointed as supervisor. But in the general section."


"Cock different than his revision Mas?"


Della asked in surprise, for the answer given by her husband. The general section here covers all work-related matters outside of production.


If true what was said by her husband earlier, means Danang will lead the office girl, office boy, which includes a janitor or garbage man. Who have their own duties. To maintain cleanliness and comfort in the company area.


"Do not know who. Mr. Yus only gave me a few days, because, this promotion also depends on my decision. Whether I take it or not."


Hearing the answers and explanations given by Danang, Della tried to come to think.


"It's better to think again. If you accept the offer, it means that the responsibilities of Danang are getting bigger as well. But if not, Danang will miss the opportunity to continue to advance. Moreover, this work will cover the entire area of the company. There will be many acquaintances complaints and many problems that will arise."


"But if you still choose the current job, Danang mas will stick to one problem faced by PPIC workers. And the scope of his work and acquaintances, and that's it."


Danang listened to all the words his wife said. Because actually, she also thought the same thing as Della thought.


"Mas will try to think about it again."


"Yes Mas. Everything should be thought about Sarah. Because, if you have made a decision, it seems that in this company it is difficult to reclaim our former position. If we are not comfortable in a new position."


Danang nodded his head in agreement, with what his wife said. He also had the same thought as that.


Eventually, the two of them returned to the factory. The work break is almost over.

Linda talked about Romi's proposal to her, which will be done tomorrow night.


"It's just simple sir, Mom."


His mother and father Linda just nodded. Understand how his son is doing.


"But, for his own wedding plans, it will be done after one year of Ferry's death."


The two of them, her mother and father Linda, nodded their heads again. Because, according to them, the plan is already very good. Because, the death of the late Ferry, her husband Linda, did not exist for one year.


"How's erli?" ask his mother suddenly. Because he was worried about his grandson. Had not been able to accept the presence of Romi as his successor Ferry.


"Erli, Erli seems to have become familiar with Romi's brother. He also wanted to, when asked to call brother Romi father." Linda gives peace to her mother and father. If his son, Erli, does not dispute the existence of Romi beside the two of them.


Linda's mother was finally relieved.


So did his father Linda, who was worried about his granddaughter's condition. If only he could not accept another man, to be his parents. Pointing out Ferry's position, which is now gone.


"Yes, it was a disaster for both of you. Mothers and fathers, can only pray, hopefully this plan can run smoothly. Until it's time."


"Aamiin..."


Linda and her father, simultaneously uttered aamiin. For the sincere wishes and prayers of Linda's mother.


"But, Brother Romi will return to the big city after the application event. Because, he has a job there that needs to be done immediately."


"Yes it's okay. He also works. If you have to live in the village for a long time, for example, you have to wait for marriage, then how is the work there?"


"Hehehe, yes Ma'am" said Linda, who was like her mother.


"Yes, I want to rest first. Erli was also sleeping. Mom wants to move him to the room first," said Linda's mother, carrying Erli's body, which is currently asleep on her lap.


After her mother left, her father Linda asked slowly which child it was. "You accepted that romi, not because of escape, right?"


Linda frowned, hearing the question asked by her father.


He did not know what his father was thinking. To have such thoughts.


"Father does not want Lin, if you want to accept son Romi, just as an escape. Kasian nak Romi Lin," explained his father, who was worried about his feelings Romi. If only he had made it as an escape, for the purpose of his uncle Romi himself.


"Sir. Do you have any suggestions, or any other opinions. What can Linda take, for the best path?"


Linda asked her father a question, which his father could not answer either. Because according to his father, actually the decision taken by Linda was right.


He just wants to get clarity and certainty from Linda herself, over the decision taken.


His father, did not want the candle to live the family life as before. When we were with Ferry.


Because his father also heard the behavior of his son-in-law out there.


"Braise Linda Sir. Hopefully, what the five decided this time was right." His father seemed to smile, hearing the answer given by Linda.


"Yes Lin. You can only give your prayers and blessings. Because my father also has nothing left. My father also does not work. In fact, your life depends on you and Danang. I'm sorry, because you can't give a decent life to both of you."


Linda shook her head quickly, when she heard her father's words.


"No Sir. Linda is very grateful for what we live and have. Linda knew, even though you couldn't do anything, you didn't say many words. But I always pray for Linda. That's more than enough sir."


Now, both of them just sob slowly, when they realize their respective positions.


"Easy-after. Don't make your father grow sad by crying. You don't want to welcome your new happiness with a cry."


Linda was sobbing more and more, hearing her father's words.


"Thank you for all the prayers you gave Linda" Linda said, holding her father's hands together, then kissing the back of the hand.


His father Linda, just nods, holding back his sobs and tears, so as not to flow.

Somewhere else.


His uncle Romi, was visiting the home of a spiritual teacher. To ask for a prayer, or ritual, to be able to get or conquer a woman who is being appraised.


Apparently, he still did not want to give in to his widowed nephew.


He himself already has two wives. Each of them has children too.


But as it turns out, the ambition and lust he has, blames his logical wits. So he's looking for a way out, in an unexpected way.


Moreover, by seeking the help of a spiritual teacher or shaman.


This is exactly what Romi was worried about. Because he knows very well. What is the character and nature of his uncle. He can do anything to get what he wants.


The unreasonable and unreasonable thing, too, would be done by his uncle.
