BEAUTIFUL REUNION IN TWO
81. No Late Words
Nadia and Lily along with two senior Lawyer accompanied Mother Titi to Bareskrim Polri, as a legal team of one of the government-owned banks to report cases of suspected fraudulent deposits in one of the branch offices.
His and Lily's job is to bring a folder containing evidence of forgery. The folder contains several bilyet deposits claimed by some customers. The bilyet is only a scanned print scanned print print on ordinary paper and not a legitimate blank deposit issued by the Bank.
"Don't just come along. Don't just bring documents. You must learn how to make a police report. Before going to the police station, complete the evidence related to the case being faced." Titi's mother always guided her to study the world of law. New knowledge for him.
"In addition to bilyet deposit is scanned print scanned in ordinary paper, what other irregularities can you see?" mother Titi continued as they sat in the waiting room of Bareskrim Polri.
A little nervous, he also flipped through several billion deposits that each billiard listed the number tens of billions, but he did not find any awkwardness.
"I found nothing, ma'am" he replied with embarrassment.
"We must be observant to see the legal loopholes. Four bilyet deposits that you hold now have the same serial number of bilyet deposits," explained Ms. Titi.
He also observed the deposit bilyet again, and it is true, all serial numbers are the same. Why is it so easy that he can't find it? Stupid jerk. He cursed himself.
But what he surprised, why Mother Titi only guides her herself, while Mother Titi let Lily beside him busy with mobile phone skating in cyberspace through social media applications.
After some time he joined the office of Ibu Titi, he could judge that Lily seemed to get the privilege of Ms. Titi. She had never seen Tity's mother scold Lily who was just an administrative staff like herself. While some junior lawyers alone sometimes get mad from Mom Tity.
"There are many things we can do to improve the quality of life. One of them is by increasing our mental intelligence and also emotional. Smart is judged by our ability to process information, absorb commands and solve a problem," mother Titi's advice when she had lunch with Mother Titi and also Lily at a Padang restaurant after returning from Bareskrim Polri.
"Life must be planned along with its long-term goals. As of right now, you work at a law firm. You have to think about the career path, not forever just being an administrative staff," continued Ibu Titi.
"But you have to continue your education. Because you work in a law firm, it would be nice for you to study law. The cost of education will be borne by the office."
"You can take Non-Regular classes. So you can work while in college" added Ibu Titi.
He looked at the face of Titi. Not expecting Mother Titi will ask her to continue her studies, financed by the firm anyway.
"But I'm 31, Mom, I'm giving birth any minute. I'm afraid I can't divide my time" he lamented.
He greatly appreciated the encouragement given by Mother Titi. But the conditions in which he has to work, give birth, take care of children and husbands, may be a bit difficult for him if he has to go to college again.
He knows where Mother Titi's talking is going. Ibu Titi wants to one day be an advocate like Ibu Titi. Dreaming that far alone, he did not dare.
Being an administrative staff at the law firm owned by Ibu Titi has made him proud. He is grateful to be based in a top office building in Jakarta and gets a monthly salary with a value above the Regional Minimun Wage for DKI Jakarta.
"It is never too late to study and get an education. The important thing is that you have the will and determination, Nadia. Someone has to move forward." Titi's mother never stopped giving encouragement.
There is no way he will win if he argues with Mother Titi, so he issued the final sentence.
"Then, I discussed it with my husband, Mom."
After finishing dinner, he discussed with Tristan, the advice of Ms. Titi to continue her education and major in law.
"You have a good boss, because you pay attention to the self-development of his subordinates. What Ms. Titi suggests is an opportunity to improve your competence. Unfortunately if not used," added Tristan, making him flabbergasted, very unexpected.
"When you go to college, you're not just going to get new knowledge. But you will also get a better career opportunity" Tristan continued.
He looked into Tristan's eyes. Because he still does not believe in Tristan's changes to him. But he admitted, even though Tristan often hurt him verbally, people out there know Tristan as a good man.
Their eyes meet. And Tristan smiled at him. Make something inside him warm. Hopefully Tristan's attitude doesn't return as before.
"We just leave it to Mama. Mama will definitely be happy to have new activities," said Tristan to provide a solution to the problems he will face later.
Later that night, Tristan complied with her request to shop for maternity supplies. Titi's mother has bought a lot for her newborn baby equipment. But his personal equipment during labor is still incomplete.
"Our front room is just a nursery, right?" she asked while walking beside Tristan at a mom and baby shop.
"Yes" said Tristan briefly.
Her husband chose to sit on a bench playing mobile phones while waiting for her to shop. Actually, he wanted Tristan to walk beside him to help push the trolley, accompany him to choose the items to be purchased. Because he needs a discussion friend.
But he was also grateful if Tristan was willing to wait for him to shop. Tristan has shown rapid progress, from the previous rarely accompany him shopping like this.
Tristan just stood up to him when he was in front of the cashier. The man took out a debit card to pay for the items that were inside his trolley. Then lift the entire bag of shopping towards their parked vehicle right in front of the store.
*******
Saturday is an opportunity for Nadia to clean the house while cooking for Tristan who is cycling with friends. While Lily beside her house, returned to Bandung to see the elderly.
As he was sweeping the living room, someone rang the bell.
"Sorry to disturb Tea, I'm a United Nations collector" exclaimed the man wearing special clothes and an identification tag. "Is this really Mr Tristan Atmaja's house?"
"Yes right, please enter Mas," Nadia invited the officer to sit on his new sofa in the living room. "How much should we pay the UN?"
The officer cited a number of values while presenting evidence of UN payments.
Nadia went into the room to take some money, then went out and handed it to the officer.
"The return is for Mas aja deh," exclaimed Nadia.
"Thank you very much Tea" said the father, showing a happy face. "Oh yeah, would you like some tea, Nadia Humeerah's mother lives on the right or left side of this house?" the officer pointed to the right and left side of the house.
"Nadia Humeerah? Nadia Humeerah is my own sir," she replied in astonishment.
"Oh, so Teteh who has a house on the right and left side of this house. Lots of houses." The young man was bearded. "Then all paid for the UN Tea."
His forehead looked at the young man.
"Yes right, I am Nadia Humeerah Mas. But the one with the house on the left and right is not me. On the right side was empty for a long time. And to the left of the owner of the house his name is Lily, not Nadia Humeerah," he clarified as soon as possible the error of the taxpayer data held by the young man so that the data is immediately corrected.
In order to prevent his neighbors from thinking he was going to invade their homes. Of course he must maintain harmony with his neighbors, especially Lily who is like his brother today.
"But in the data that I have Teh, the name of the taxpayer's owner of the house number 34 and number 36, Nadia Humeerah," said the officer showed a confused face.
"It's wrong sir, it needs to be fixed" he said confidently.
The tax collector came out of the house with a confused face.
"Don't forget Mas, fix the taxpayer data yes. I don't want to clash with neighbors because of government data errors" he told the officer, as the officer was already outside the house.
