A girl who had just been tried, came home with shaky steps, lika entered the house with a pile of anger in her, just because she remembered the help her father had given her.
“ you've come home lika!” an old man named bastian.
The girl stopped her footsteps on the third step of the stairs, she then turned to bastian who was sitting with her father, the 50-year-old old man was a friend of the gunawan, the other one was none other than the father of Lika.
“ how the trial lika, father and baman abas have helped you, are you not willing to tell the results son?” ask gunawan
“ yes! I have to thank my father and uncle, thank you dad! Thank you uncle abas!” the girl clenched her hands while slightly bowing respectfully at the two old men before her.
“ thanks to your signature in the petition letter, I did not get into jail” he explained in an angry tone.
“that's good right! Then why do you sound upset? “ ask bastian
“ I'm upset? I'm really pissed! I'm really, really upset that I lost my medical license, and now that I'm opening a doctor again, this is what you've been hoping for a long time! I think dad must be very happy right now" he said still in an angry tone,
Lika continued on her way to the room, complaining of fate at every step of her foot, in a half-screaming voice she said
“ I have completed the education proposed in orthopedic surgery, after becoming a general practitioner I completed 104 SKS in 9 semesters of clinical education, education that I tried to take in a short time, I have been able to do, My 5 years of hard work, sweat falling while struggling for the title of SpOT (orthopedic and traumatology specialist), and my two years of work experience have now become dust grains, oh lord... Malang very my fate this” with very dramatic.
Lika is a woman who never took a headache on the problems she faced, the girl only cried bitterly as the judge read out his verdict, he said, after that the tears just disappeared thanks to a little consolation from his colleagues.
As with sadness, anger quickly disappeared, after the girl soaked and cleaned herself, she came back down with a laptop and mobile phone in her hand.
Lika put her laptop and mobile phone on the table in the lounge, where it was not far from where bastian and gunawan were sitting, the absence of room obstructions made the range of eyes more spacious.
Lika's eyes were fixed on the round table between the two old men who were relaxing, she smiled as she looked at the newspaper lying beside their tea glasses.
Lika walked over and took the newspaper, she then returned and sat down on the long sofa in the lounge.
Gunawan and bastian looked at Lika who was serious, after glancing at each other, bastian also asked “ what are you doing, son? ”
“ Job search uncle” answer lika briefly without shifting her focus
Lika searches for job vacancies from newspapers and the internet, she also finds out about the company before applying for her job, she does not want until there is an incident her father does not allow her to work, after he got into the company.
“ why you should rush to find a job lika, relax first, enjoy time as unemployed with us” said bastian again
“ uncle like not knowing my father alone, he's stingy” said lika
Gunawan just smiled while shaking his head to hear the reproach of his beloved daughter, while bastian even chuckled.
“ no matter how thorough your father is, he will definitely not let his daughter starve to death lika” said bastian.
Lika stopped her activity and looked at the two old men who were also staring at her, Iika was suddenly annoyed to see her father smile, she rolled her eyes and said
“ my father is willing to provide for me, but lion? Even for a single piece of meat father would not be willing to give it, so I had to work hard on my own to provide lion”
“ what's wrong dad lica? Lion is not a father's son, he's your son, so everything that concerns lion of course you're the one who must take care of him” said gunawan defend himself
“hai lika! How about you work with uncle?” ask bastian
“ because it's old like uncle abas so senile, uncle forgot yes! Uncle is unemployed, the company owned by uncle has also been handed over to the uncle's son, where the heart of me to receive a salary from pensioners who are not that much, besides the cost of lion care is very expensive, it will not be enough with the little salary that uncle gives” said Lika without shifting her focus.
When bastian sighed harshly because of the truth he said, Gunawan laughed at him instead.
“ what you said is true lika, but do not forget that arjuna is a submissive uncle's son, uncle can give you a job in his company” said bastian proudly, gunawan nodded in support of the statement his best friend said.
“paman serious? Uncle can put Lika to work in the uncle's subsidiary company? But did you agree to it? “ asked lika, she looked back at the two friends who were both old.
“ what can? “ asked bastian to the friend in front of him, gunawan nodded his head in agreement.
“ your father nodded lika, so how? “ ask bastian make sure
“ okay uncle! We leave now also” said Lika while standing up from her seat with enthusiasm.
“ Replace your clothes with formal ones? It's rude to go to the office with your color pants and a t-shirt like that”
“ ready dad! ” exclamation lika while paying respects.
Lika half-running left the lounge, she stopped her steps as she was about to climb the stairs, the girl turned her head to look towards her father and uncle, her brother, then exclaimed “ uncle abas I will not be long” then back to step foot quickly.
What Lika said was not a lie, after 15 minutes, Lika was back in front of bastian and gunawan in formal clothes.
“ come uncle I'm ready” exciting lika with full of enthusiasm
“ look at your daughter's behavior, she always moves fast like you used to” said bastian who then spent tea in his glass.
“ of course! She is my daughter” said gunawan proudly, lika smiled.
Gunawan looked at Lika seriously and then said “ correct work! Don't make a fuss, you understand! “
“ calm dad, I will work diligently so as not to embarrass uncle abas” said lika
“ yes already! I will take Lika to the office first, later I will come back again” said bastian while rising from his seat.
Lika kissed the back of gunawan's hand and then followed bastian's footsteps, they left the house on foot, lika's hand coiled on bastian's right hand, they walked only up to bastian's house, they walked up to bastian's house, which is right next to the area owned by Gunawan.
Bastian called the driver to prepare to take him away, not forgetting he said goodbye to the wife who happened to be at home.
“ mama has heard the disaster that happened to you, but mama is glad you are not down with the state of lika” said devi, wife of bastian.
Devi hugged Lika, and Lika returned her embrace with a smile, she kissed devi's cheek then said “ pray lika ya mah! Hopefully brother arjun does not reject lika” with spoiled
Lika and devi's relationship is very familiar, devi already considers Lika as her own daughter, just like bastian who considers lika like his own daughter, lika also considers them like his own parents, as well, therefore he never hesitated to speak disrespectfully in front of the two.
And although Lika was raised without a mother, she never lacked the slightest affection, thanks to the people around her, the independence and love that lika spread presents a lot of love.
