Rabbet
A pair of shiny shoes wrapped around the legs of a middle man can be seen climbing on a clean slippery marble floor. The foot belonged to a tired and lethargic looking man.
He walked into his big house that night. The same routine he has been doing all this time.
" What more images?" He asked Mbak Nining, Citra's nanny who was caught down to fetch water.
" Non Image fever, Den. It's Ibuk again here with Sister Kalyna!" Said the woman with a grim and fearful face.
" Fever? Since when?" Her voice with a worried tone.
Raka was of course so surprised. Just this morning he called his daughter and said he was coming home late tonight and sounded good.
" Last afternoon Den, just fought with his friend, kept falling!" Mbak Nining said regretfully. His face was grim with fear.
Raka's eyes were round, he was about to scold the guard of his son. But a voice, made his intention go unnoticed.
" Where did you just come home at this hour?" Andhira is seen climbing the stairs of Raka's house with a face of anger. Walk towards her tired looking child.
" Mama!" Raka left Nining and immediately headed to Andhira's place with a gloomy face. Clearly, her mother had misjudged.
" Raka's overtime today, so much trouble at the office!" Raka's face implied tired and tired.
" Are you, are there no staff in the office? Keep on overtime. Papa's old feelings you're not so - very Lo!" Dhira's face was grim for protesting her son. The woman can't tolerate it when it comes to her grandson.
" You should be able to focus on Citra dong Ka!"
"Minimum know that your child is in school again is not right!"
" You have Niko you can help you handle everything, right?" Dhira looked at his son regretfully.
" Call you open your heart Ka. A lot of good connecting mothers, which can be a cement for Citra if you are busy like this. When are you gonna get?"
Dhira was very sorry for his granddaughter who currently looked glum. Little TK Zero boy was often angry if his friends were ignorant and asked the whereabouts of the mother. Bullying.
" Raka's tired of it, don't talk about it!"
" Raka wants to see Citra first!" The man with the thin mustache walked away when his mother again discussed it. He did not want to argue with his mother. Although he knew, his mother's goal must have been a kindness.
Dhira threw out her breath with a grim face. Feeling sorry for the life of his son who had to become a widower at a young age.
Raka throws her suit into her room, loosens the tie and takes off her shoes. He rolled up his shirt and washed his hands and face for a moment.
Look at yourself in the mirror. He looks so tired. Inside out. Inner born.
" Visa?" She was in a heart that actually wanted to scream. Calling the name of his late wife who has darted into nirvana.
Soon after Raka opened the door of her son's room, her sister Kalyna was reading a fairy tale to her daughter who was lying pale on the bed.
" Dad!" A five-year-old little girl with two clear eyes is now seen welcoming Raka's arrival.
" ye! What again? Who's with onty, huh?" Raka said as she closed the door to her daughter's room.
" Onty is great if you read Yah!" The little girl is now seen correcting her position.
" Father Emm's son is very fragrant!" Raka kisses Citra's cheeks and hair. Lovingly. Lovingly.
" Partra is hard to eat. From that moment his father continued. That's why I used to bacain while waiting for Raka to come. Try it, this just ushered in by mbak Nining. Want to eat while Raka said!"
Kalyna poured a bowl of porridge that was still warm to Raka with a grim face. Hope Citra will open her mouth if the father who feeds.
" When did you come?" Raka answered while stirring her son's porridge.
" So afternoon, mama was told by Ms. Nining. Call me scared, he said. Don't be so fierce with your maids!" Kalyna now helps Citra to sell.
" It was my mother who killed me!" Urge in the heart. Looks like her mother is more affectionate towards her granddaughter. Given if something happened to Citra, her mother was immediately alert to TKP. Like at the moment, for example.
Raka did not reply, he preferred to focus on Citra even though his soul and body were very tired.
" Dad's son eat first Dad! Later while telling the story, why did her princess dad suddenly have a fever!" Raka rubbed gently the black hair Citra.
The boy smiled and nodded.
" Onty here. Nemenin Citra, Citra's afraid I'll be angry!" The soft-spoken boy pulled Kalyna's white arm.
Making Raka glance at each other with her different papa's sister.
" Okay princess, if you're angry, let's just pinch!" Tukas Kalyna chuckled. He clearly knew his brother's thoughts.
The image smiled even with a pale face. His fussy onty was really never at a loss for the ultimate words.
" Yeah!" Raka feeds a spoonful of porridge while also opening her mouth.
" Ammm!" Kalyna said as her nephew devoured a feed from Raka. Making Citra grimace.
" Pinter's son! Must run out, let's be healthy tomorrow, we can still swim!" Tukas Kalyna was happy as he gently rubbed the shiny black hair of his nephew.
Raka smiled happily. Because, his chatty sister can always make a cheerful atmosphere. Moreover, Citra often cries alone when many ask the whereabouts of her mother .
Raka's heart was actually screaming. But the way of life is like a book. The next story we'll never know, if we don't open it.

Jodhistira
Jodhistira. The man is now a cassanova who is holding a grudge to a woman he knew long ago.
Latitudinal.
Long story short Jodhi secretly liked Lintang since Junior High. His meeting while in the Volleyball field a few years ago when he waited for Raka, became the starting point of the growth of monkey love.
" I don't like Elo Jo. Sory! But I like Raka!"
" I'm sorry Jo, but I've never liked a bad guy like you!" He said the next day when Jodhi said a sentence saying his love statement.
Well, Raka is a perfect person who is often sought by girls because of his calm and intelligent attitude. Unlike her who is wayward, stubborn and likes fighting.
He lost track of Latitude after graduating high school. According to the news, the girl moved to another city with her family. Where not.
Years have passed, and,
Until one day, he who has graduated from a university abroad and began to take care of work with Papa Bastian, he accidentally met Lintang in a plus-plus cafe.
And that day is today.
But, what made him quite surprised was, why Lintang dressed so scantily and busy serving guests.
" You used to reject me on the grounds that I was wayward and naughty. Now look at you? Even you seem to be prostituting yourself Lin!"
Jodhi Smiled discordantly while continuing to organize the woman who was now busy accompanying the old man in black.
That night, he and Papa Bastian happened to be meeting potential investors for the widening of Kitchen Isun which now has a lot of branches throughout the city in the country.
Papa Bastian's relationship happened to ask them to meet at the snapper-class plus-plus cafe.
" Pa, I'm going to the toilet for a second!" Jodhi said as she stood up. Bastian replied with a nod. Things happen when we are outside.
" ye! Has that woman been working here for a long time?" Jodhi asked one of the employees who seemed to be a cleaning service there.
" Which one is Mister?" The man swept his gaze towards where Jodhi's eyes were staring.
" The one in black, shoulder-length hair!"
" Oh, that.new a year Sir, how can I help you?"
" Is he open BO?" Ask Jodhi. Really can't make small talk.
" It could be!" The man's words that somehow made Jodhi feel angry.
" You used to reject me on the grounds that I was a bad guy . And now you're selling yourself like this?" Jodhi smiled cunningly.
" Can you order him for me!" Jodhi stared at each other with the working man. Implying that Jodhi will pay whatever money the man expects.

Table 07
" Your Master, thank you again. You can contact my Son Jodhi for further info!" Bastian shook the hand of his business partner. However, Jodhi was looking for someone.
" Stt! Jo!" Bastian nudged his son's arm because the guest in front of him had already raised his hand towards Jodhi.
" Oh.sorry. Thank you very much Sir!" Greet Jodhi with a wave. Haishh, that boy!
Bastian shook his head.
After his business partner leaves, Bastian wants to take his son home. Of course he does not want if Rania nagging later.
" Come Jo, your mama's already raging. Request at bawain kwetiaw. Where papa sleepy again!" Tukas Bastian looks tired.
" Papa first, Jodhi wants to meet you. Just tell mom that Jodhi has business!"
Bastian shook his head while smiling meaningfully. He was obviously young too.
" What friend is a friend?" Tempta Bastian rolled his eyes at Jodhi.
" CK, really? Papa came home first. Later mama ngamuk just know the taste!" Jodhi chuckles. Warn Bastian of the risks that can be obtained if he leaves Rania too long.
" The child is the same mother. Both men are threatening!" Bastian's grunts made Jodhi chuckle.
" Yes, papa came home. Find a real wife Jo. Time lost to Raka !" Papa Bastian patted her shoulder.
For a moment Jodhi was stunned. She was one step behind her brother. But he never had a problem. He knows himself about it. Raka is the ideal sister.
" Raka always wins Pa!"
He was in a heart that felt cowardly because he was still jealous of Raka, even though he knew that Raka was in the nadir of his life at this time.
