Early in the morning Jose's father had departed from Medan to Bengkulu to meet Prof. Jhon. Of course, to talk about the hot problem at this time. It is undeniable that conflicts between staff are getting serious.
Arriving at the office where Prof. Jhon was, Jose's father immediately looked for Prof. Jhon.
" gig! Geck! Geck! " Jose's father knocked on the door of Prof's study. Jhon.
" Yes in! " Sahut Prof's. Jhon from within.
And Jose's father walked into the room bowed and hesitated.
" You're apparently Jose? " Ask Prof. John saw Jose's father come in.
" Yes Jhon, I came to. (pronounced speech), I as the person in charge of the problem that occurred want to ask and maybe.. " Suddenly Prof. Jhon cuts off the words of Jose's father.
" Don't discuss the problem in a narrow room, let's go out and get some fresh air to keep our minds cool. Come with me! " Prof. Jhon patted Jose's father on the shoulder and took him somewhere.
In a small park they both talk about research issues. Jose's father was serious enough to explain all his problems to Prof. Jhon.
" Well I've heard everything from Mr. Gun and the others as well. I think it's the right decision for now although it will have a serious impact on the continuation of the research. All I ask is. how could a Miss Ceafi be this careless. I don't doubt his skills at all, but his professional attitude is like that of an explorer yesterday afternoon. Sorry if I offended your daughter Jose. " Submitted Prof. Jhon expressed his disappointment.
" I'm really sorry, Jhon. If this research should stop then I am prepared for any consequences. " Jose's father was desperate.
" It's not a matter of consequence Jose but my reputation you need to think about as well. This is a big research project. If the center hears of this problem then all parts of the team will be affected. Say goodbye to the profession. I can't imagine that Jose. " The Face of Prof. John looked so sad.
" Well I hope so Jose, "Pro. John stood patting Jose's father on the shoulder and went back into the office.
It was only Jose's own father, pensively staring at the streets with a blank look. This problem seems to just spin in an uncertain direction. All the more complicated, documents manipulated, reports not on target, and staff conflicts that have not been addressed. And it would be even worse if the headquarters found out, all those involved in the research could be fired Prof. Jhon.

There was the sound of the afternoon prayer ringing. Her melodious chants made the heart calm and serene. Jose's father walked to the mosque for the Ashar prayers.
Dusk in Bengkulu certainly different from the twilight Magelang. A reddish-yellow glow and a red mega beam along the horizon. Comforter for a tired mind that is sad.
" Hey dusk! There's usually my little girl who's gonna sit on this shoulder. You are also the one who is seen in the field there. I'm sending a message to my daughter, yes, tell her that everything will be fine. " Jose's father was a little teary.
Suddenly his phone rang to disperse his sad drift. Soon he raised the call,
" Yes hello! " Say Father Jose.
" sir! Ceafi! Master please Ceafi! " Shouts a woman behind the phone who turns out to be Lily.
" Ceafi!? It's with my daughter! Hola! Lily hello! " In that instant, Jose's father panicked.
" Tut tut tut...! " The voice of the call suddenly disconnected.
