Episode 25's

Monday afternoon on January 2, Datin went straight to CHK to see the boutique atmosphere during his year-end vacation. He's got a big brown envelope sealed off from the finance staff he leads. Datin open a large envelope that consists of 2 medium envelopes. Envelope one contains a detailed report of Teniem or dividends for directors and shareholders, while the second envelope contains a list of bonuses for functionaries and CH employees.

“ Sister Goddess, can come here, I wait in my room.” Datin called his finance officer.

After the call was in front of him, Datin instructed: “ List already I signed, because I see all the relevant officials have signed, so I immediately approve it. Please today also transferred all the addresses, do not wait until their sweat is dry, said the sage so, hahahaha.

“Siap ma'am,..soon I work.” The Goddess answered with spirit.

Datin already intends to bring the initial ideals when he was a child first. He is in addition to the business he is currently engaged in, which was unintentionally and unimaginable before became successful and developed rapidly like a snowball, Datin actually had a childhood mind if you want to have a grocery store, or basic food plus.

Datin saw many relatives in the village who needed help, and Datin will open the business to employ them. Datin has also helped relatives who have expertise batik like his mother.

The dividends he got every year he saved and some of him bought Precious Metals, which he planned to later be used to set up a plus-plus basic business, if the time was right.

Datin again doing the work in his room, Susan came in. “ Happy New Year mom Datin, wish us be better this year and after...” greetings Susan while curling and chipika cipiki with Datin.

“ Any interesting news during the holidays yesterday bu Susan?” ask Datin

“ No, .......ah, wait.... yes ma'am, there is mr Aaron Smith, he is on Christmas and New Year holidays to Bali with his wife. When before leaving he had time to stop by here mother, he stopped by idly and there was nothing special he said, so did not get word first. He went around our boutique and had asked the long chair of Jepara Teak with Cushion Batik on the 4th floor.” Said Susan

“ Long sofa made by Baskoro Semarang?” ask Datin. Mr. Baskoro is his uncle Yudis, a meubel businessman who once met at the house of Judis, but now has become a tenant or have a showroom in CHK. “ Maybe he wants to repeat the same upholstery order times.”

“ Yes mom, but there was no further discussion about that. Maybe he'll talk to mommy himself?” susan said while shrugging her shoulders.

“ Ok,...if important he will definitely ngabari or send email later. It used to have taken how many blocks of batik cloth exactly to upholstery the sofa.” Mumbles Datin.

Datin is back in his routine. And for the course he is preparing to face 3 core courses with a large number of credits that will start early February. While his impromptu mentor, Ichikawa, just returned to Jakarta again in mid-January 2006. So everything went according to plan.

Ichikawa was instrumental in the smooth study of Datin. Besides, Datin is a smart student. The certificate values are mostly A and A-.

Early February courses have begun, not every day there are courses in the week, but sometimes one day filled with 1-3 hours of courses. The course time is mostly 20.00 s/d 23.00 because of the difference in Boston time with Jakarta 12 hours ahead of Jakarta.

This afternoon Monday 20 February 2006, Datin with Susan to Kadin Indonesia in Rasuna Said - Kuningan for consultation about the exhibition plan at Unesco – Paris this September. Because many CH tenants will fill, but will be selected first. It turns out that in the office of the Kadin Datin met Yudis who also just arrived from the airport for the same business. It so happens that Judis is one of the functionaries of Kadin Jateng.

When he met at the Central District Court, Yudis informed him that he planned to bring Mila control to Singapore as a second opinion for his heart disease, if action could still be taken for by pass, which if according to doctors in Jakarta is no longer possible and just rely on drugs. For the time around the month of Mart.

As for her cervical CA after approximately 32 times radiotherapy has shrunk. However it still exists, and often interferes with the smooth running of the BAB.

Yudis did not stop by Datin's office or apartment because he would go home directly to Semarang with an afternoon flight.

Datin then set the time to be able to deliver to Singapore amid the density of his schedule. Because in the past he had promised to Mila, and Datin really wanted to control the treatment process of his best friend.

On Tuesday 14 Mart 2006, about a week before going to Singapore, around 11.00 Datin had just completed an assistance with Ichikawa, and just wanted to return to CHK from the Japanese Embassy, he said, he got a call from Carla's sister Yudis' wife that Mila had just been rushed to Dr. Kariadi Hospital, passed out in the bathroom.

“ Carla, can you tell me more details about the condition of Msbak Mila, and how it was discovered?” with a sobbing Datin asked Carla.

“ Her maid said, if this morning Mila went to the bathroom, no one knows from what time because the bathroom is in Mila's bedroom, but at 09:00 Mila still had time to obey the aunt to make fruit juice to smoothen the back he said. When mas Yudis after the treadmill wanted to makai bathroom, kok locked from the inside, after calling Mila, then he broke the door, it turns out Mila like fainted in a sitting position in the closet. Now I'm on the way to the RS, Tin seems…………. “ Carla could not continue speaking her broken cry.

He called his secretary Marsih, told him to get his clothes and supplies ready for 3 days, and told him to prepare the tickets for Bimo and Parinah for tomorrow morning, but where he was waiting for his orders.

“ Mom, where is this mom? Still at school Bimo?......oh already headed to Kemang huh?” Datin looked already at 12.30..” Look ma'am, mbak Mila at RS due to fainting. I went to Semarang, tomorrow see the situation if it has been more than a day yes mom followed with Bimo while bringing me clothes and others that again prepared Marsih. But Marsih didn't tell me to wait for a call from me first. Mother same Bimo standby and ready when leaving.” Datin's message to his mother.

At 15:30, Datin's citylink landed at A.Yani-Semarang airport. When he opened his phone, several SMS came in, among others from Judis,

“ Innalillahi wainnaillaihi roji’un my beloved wife, Kamila Sudibyo, today Tuesday tgl 14 Mart 2006 at 10.30 hours has passed to Allah SWT. Please mistake the deceased during his life can be forgiven.” Thus the contents of a short message from Judis sent at 13:45 to all his colleagues.

Datin like bone dilolotion, but no more tears. With trembling he called Carla: “ Carla is now home buried where, I've been at the airport, I should go where?”

“ Tin, this is still waiting, the visa just came out at 13.00 earlier, Mila was declared dead at 10.30 and want to be bathed first also here, if you want to go to the hospital first also hunted, we are all here, and we are all here, in the waiting room near the recovery of the body.” Answer Carla.

“ Thanks, I to RS directly.“ replied Datin.

Datin glided to Kariadi Hospital, he daydreamed during the trip to reminisce about his last time with Mila. Didn't think the 2006 New Year's Party was the last time she met Mila.

Arriving at the hospital he was greeted by Judis who immediately embraced Datin, although at first glance it seemed rigid and strong, but his facial expression could not hide his deep sadness. Datin cried, his body trembled while creeping shifted to look for a seat, because his knees were limp. He immediately remembered Yasmin………

“ Yasmin........??” he raised his head asking Yasmin for the position of Judis. Remember Yasmin Datin being strong, not knowing for sure the coming of that power, suddenly he rose up to look for Yasmin.

Carla says Yasmin is the same cousin Judis and aunt in the next break room, again try bribed because from noon do not want to eat.”

Datin rushed in the room next door, meeting Yasmin whose appearance was very shabby and swollen. Seeing Datin, Yasmin immediately rose to embrace Datin while shouting: “ Ibuuuuuuuu......” yasmin nangis dipped Datin.

For a moment Datin became strong, and the feelings of the two became mutually reinforcing. Datin did not talk much and pulled Yasmin to sleep on her lap, her legs were thrown on the wooden bench, she rubbed Yasmin's head, while continuing to recite.

Yasmin fell asleep in Datin's lap.

The plan of the body will be interred in Yogyakarta, in the tomb of Sudibyo's mother's extended family in Blunyah. From the Hospital later Jenazah was buried overnight in Candi, Wednesday on 15 Mart 2006, after dawn was holed in the mosque complex, the body was immediately sent to the tomb Blunyah in Yogyakarta.

On the way to the temple, while Yasmin slept on her lap, Datin called Marsih to take care of the ticket and departure of Bimo and Bu Parinah to Yogya with the first flight at 06.00 from Halim.

Not long later, after Datin finished bathing there was a call from Susan: “ Mother, take your time yes, all instructions to Marsih are well organized, so, Wukir I told stanby-nginep in CHK so that at 04.00 I can bring Parinah and Bimo to Halim.”

“ Thank you, Susan, this is what I feel like, until tomorrow I don't change clothes. But no problem. Titip office.” Answer Datin.

After showering and brushing your teeth with a new brush that is always available in the bathroom of the guest room, Datin still re-wearing the clothes he was wearing from this morning only his outfit in the form of a purple plain blazer with 3/4 sleeves he dislodged, just wear black short-sleeved blouse and violet purple songket subordinates. Her face was a thin sweep of her face wearing facecake powder, wearing lipstick and perfume Thiery Mugler output, a make-up package that was always in her bag. Her hair was a simple bun just not messy everywhere. Then she feeds Yasmin in her room.

“ Yasmin eat first with mom, tomorrow will send mama to Yogya, so that Yasmin strong does not hurt. Tomorrow Bimo will also wait at Yogya.” Persuade Datin.

While Judis and her extended family receive an endless number of impious guests, Datin remains focused on Yasmin. In Yasmin's room there is also Keisya his cousin who accompanies, sometimes Carla, Keisya's mother, look in the room.

“ Tin it's you I brought in a change of clothes, and **********paper if you want to change.” said Carla.

“ Ah yes yes....thank you.” replied Datin.
