Destiny of the Village Girl

Busyness

Adam worked harder, fasting did not dampen his spirit for the sake of his company to run smoothly. Adam took a deep breath, after his work was finished he wanted to return to his home in the village as soon as possible.

Do not want it to continue to linger in the company, often his mother and brother said something annoying. So that makes it even more uncomfortable to linger there.

"Dam, this is also what you have to finish," Nita said, handing Adam a few pieces of paper.

"What's this?" adam took the papers in front of him.

"that's this month's earnings, close the book soon. It was also a list of all the employees and their salaries" Nita said as she sat in a chair next to Adam. He pulled out his phone and played it.

"You mean I also have to distribute employee salaries?" Adam clucked in wonder.

"Yes, you're here to help me. If only me and Mom were overwhelmed. You will soon be back in the village, right?" said Nita fix her hair that began to dishevel.

"What the fuck?" Adam was astonished to see the payroll of factory and company employees, "why did the salaries of employees go down all?" Adam was still very astonished by the list of papers before him.

"Inflation this year is very influential as the state of the company, forced their salaries all I cut 300 thousand people. Plus soon there is a holiday allowance, as much as possible we suppress spending" said Anita relaxed.

"That's not fair, I know you're just as often firing employees if their performance is not good. So all the employees in this company and factory leave the workers who are good performance.until your hearts cut their salaries?!" snapped Adam.

"If the company can't pay their salary, can you pay it?" Anita begins to get upset with Adam, as she feels that what she is doing is right.

"Our company is not that poor until it cannot afford to pay employees properly. Unless someone embezzles the company's funds."

"You mean I've embezzled company funds?" Anita began to be offended by Adam's words. He looked at Adam with annoyance.

"I'm going to wipe out the entire company including the funds coming in and out. From now on I hold everything, until I don't find any fraud in the company." Adam left Anita with a grouchy face.

Anita is upset with Adam's attitude today. On the other hand, he was also afraid of Adam's statement just now that he was going to investigate the entire company. Because of the small amount he also uses company shares for his personal interests.

Recently he bought a luxury home with company money. Likewise with his mother who has bought several apartments and investments. If Adam knew he would be angry. He regretted why he had given the expenses and income files and employee salaries. Anita cursed herself. His exhaustion today left him unfocused. Akhs! die he.

Adam walked to the toilet and washed his face to ease his hot mind. It's a pity if he has to hold emotions while performing fasting. After feeling his mind calmed down, he went back to work.

********

Leony, Fira and Bude Sum along with some of their closest neighbors, cooked together that day at home. They intend to give thanksgiving and iftar together at his house.

Not to forget the fruit ice, a mandatory menu that is highly sought after during the month of Ramadan. Leony makes simple fruit ice from pineapple, cucumber, basil seeds and sweetened condensed milk.

It did not feel very late in the afternoon near the time of breaking the fast. The construction workers have arrived at the hajat house in neat clothes and peci. Not long after the breaking time had arrived, they drank a little water and then went to the mosque to perform the magrib prayer service. After the magrib prayer, they returned to the house of hajat to continue breaking the fast.

Leony, who was accidentally sitting next to Nurin, invited her to a conversation.

"Mas, where's your wife? kan I said his wife was invited also the Arif," asked Leony while eating a snack in front of him.

"They can't come, then you wrap it up for them" said Nurin who was confused what to answer.

"Yes, I'll wrap it up for you as my mom? later wrapped for the same father mother to be brought Bian."

"No need, I'll take it," said Nurin who had finished eating.

"Loh mas, you're not going home to your wife what?"

"No, I'm at my mother's house."

"Ooh, yasuda. I'll wrap it up for a while" Leony said as he went to prepare the package. Actually, everyone who comes home will bring 1 box of rice. But, specifically for Nurin he bowed more.

Guests are starting to disperse, it's time to clean up. They all work together until it's done. At 9pm all was done, and Leony and Fira took a break and unknowingly fell asleep in the living room without a mattress. Towards the time of sahur then they moved to the room because it was getting cold.

Until the time is right, they wake up with eyes that are still very sticky. Because too tired all day and prepare a celebration. But they do not need to worry about the sahur menu, because many of the leftovers they only eat the existing cuisine.

After the completion of sahur, they relax as usual in front of the television while playing their mobile phones until the dawn prayer time arrives.

It does not feel like they have been doing fasting for 2 weeks. Soon after, Leony had prepared a holiday allowance for the construction workers. He put 500 grand in each envelope. Next week, he'll start distributing holiday allowances

On the other hand since Ramadan fasting, Adam has not returned to the village making him worried and longing. They can only communicate over long distances via cell phones.

After Lebaran, Leony and Adam plan to get engaged. Adam's family also did not mind Leony who just had no relatives. Leony is more careful this time choosing a potential life partner. Don't let his relationship with Adam run aground like he ever experienced.

Adam is a very responsible, courageous and loving person. Seeing Adam so loving his ailing father made Leony even more amazed at him. Not about treasure, his love now grew naturally like he had experienced before.

Next week, they will also go to the city to buy their fiancee's ring. Leony always imagined his life after marriage later, he wanted to give the best for his household and also wanted to be devoted to his future father-in-law, especially father.
