eps 26's

The next morning, Halim continued as usual. He is more excited in doing all the activities that are always lived every day.

Since today was Anton's departure day to the village, Halim closed his shop at exactly four in the afternoon. To take Anton away.

Halim's arrival at home is greeted confused by Anton who is arranging the items in the living room.

"Religious? Once you close your shop? Didn't I tell you, focus on your work?" Anton was a little annoyed that Halim was not listening to his words.

"Hum, don't look at me confused! And don't be mad at me! I just want to get you on the boat." Halim explained.

"But, you're too tempo-close, Halim!?" anton's tone of voice began to get upset. "I'm leaving at night, and it's only four hours past twenty-five minutes!" refute Anton while glancing at his watch.

"I have nothing to lose if it closes today, let alone to take you. Tomorrow until the next day I can still go back to selling. All right, I want to isolate my belongings, because last night I haven't done it." said Halim again explained in a low tone.

"Oh, yes. This is your stuff a lot? Like moving in." Halim changed the subject, glancing at Anton's front, left, and right.

"It's all stuff from people. I tidied it in one carton so it's not complicated." said Anton explained. His voice turned low. "This is how fate, if we go home in the know people, there is always a deposit." he continued to say resigned.

"Then do not put the duct tape first, put it with my pocket, then duct tape once in the carton. Waita minute! I'll pick it up in the room." said Halim as she walked into her room.

"Wait!" Anton prevented it.

Halim stopped right in front of her bedroom door. "What's wrong?"

"Your stuff I won't put together with this. So you're just tying duct tape so that I can easily hold it." replied Anton explained.

"Oh," Halim briefly told Anton. He went into his room and took the stuff he had tidied into the carton, and he came out of the room to go up to Anton.

Before Halim wrapped her carton, she checked all her belongings. "Everything's right!" he said while taking duct tape and scissors and rope yabg near Anton.

When he was done, he helped Anton tidy up the belongings of the men. Until they finally finished it.

"Thank you for helping, here take a marker write your name on it and the name of the destination city. Let's not exchange things with people, and it's easy to find later if it's lost" Anton said thank you, as well as throw a marker towards Halim.

Halim swiftly caught the marker and started writing his name on the cardboard and also wrote down the destination city. It does not feel the time has shown at five past thirty minutes.

"After the ship will come, we'd better get to the port now!" halim motion while glancing at the wall clock hanging on the wall of the living room.

"Don't rush! The ship also docked long in the harbor. Let the passengers of the ship down first aiming here. And the other departing passengers got on first, I don't want to cram in the steps of the ship." Anton explained casually.

"But you don't get a bed, how about it?" ask Halim worried.

"I'm not worried about that, I have my own room, provided the same ABK ship. Coincidentally one of the ABK ships has a friend of mine. So I've contacted him before. So take it easy." Anton replied.

"Oh yeah, when are you going to pick up your wife and kids here?" anton asked now.

"I? Insha Allah the next three months I just picked them up." replied Halim.

"Before you pick them up, you must provide a home for your wife's children. There's no way you're gonna stay here? It's not like I forbid you to stay here. But you know for yourself the position in this house" he said seriously looking at Halim.

Halim was silent for a moment.

Aye right! I haven't thought of it before. If I bring my wife up, no problem. But my children where will they sleep later? All rooms are filled. In each room is also filled with some Anton's goods. Hufft.

inner Halim.

Anton who saw Halim speechless, he gave his proposal, "I give you two options, you want to hear?"

"Can, what is it?" sahut Halim by asking.

"Around here there is a service to rent boarding houses, pay them monthly and the price is also good. You can go, that's the first choice. The second option, you can build a makeshift board house on top of your store building. I planned to build it, but I didn't. If you want, you just continue to build a house there." proposed Anton.

Anton chuckled softly, "Don't hesitate! It's nothing like the things you did for my wife and kids while I was here. You didn't just save is_'s life" she was cut off by Halim.

"You don't keep saying that, I can give you back everything you gave me. Because I think you gave it nothing sincere." said Halim annoyed.

"Alright, I won't bring that up again. Sorry, don't take it personally. My intentions are sincere to you. So if you agree to one of my proposals. No need for my permission anymore. Just do what's best for you and your family" Anton advised.

"Hum" said Halim briefly. In between their long conversations, they heard the sound of a strong ship twice.

Halim and Anton looked at each other with puzzled looks. Anton glanced at his watch.

"Astaghfirullah, we are so engrossed in talking that we don't see the time. And we missed the Maghrib prayer." said Anton.

"No papa, later can be plural prayer. But now we must go to the port." said Halim while lifting some goods in his right and left hands.

"I just realized, too, why haven't Denis and the others been home since?" halim said again realized at home there were only the two of them.

"Oh, they after they finish carrying the goods in the warehouse later just go home. In a month my goods come twice from the city of S. So within two weeks of the incoming ship, my goods came too. And they keep an eye on the goods from being dropped from the ship to the warehouse and check back the goods that come in accordance with the amount listed on the expedition paper" Anton explained.

"Oh, it turns out so! I just found out." said Halim

Anton was confused, "Newly know? Haven't you been here three months? When does he know now?" ask Anton not to believe it.

Halim chuckled, "Hehehe just found out, really! All this time I was not paying attention to my surroundings." he said clumsily.

"Already, already! Mending us to the port now! If the ship is strong again, it's ready to go." Anton explains.

"Hum" said Halim briefly.

Anton held his backpack, and his hands held his belongings. As for the goods held by Halim.

They go to the port on foot, because their residence is close to the port.

Arriving there, Halim was prevented from entering by officers because he was only the introduction. Finally he let Anton go alone aboard the ship with his goods are assisted by hunting the ship.

See you soon Anton, hope your journey is safe at the destination. Aamiins.

inner Halim while looking at the back of Anton who was climbing the stairs of the ship until he disappeared at the lips of the entrance and exit of the ship.

After that, he went home and cleaned up. Because his body is too sticky. After finishing the bath he immediately performed his plural prayers at home.

After praying, he went to the kitchen to cook food that he could eat to fill his already hungry stomach.

After eating he went to his room to rest. He laid his body on the bed.

Crossing his arms behind his head, Halim looked at the ceiling of his room.

He was rethinking the proposal given by Anton.

"From ngekost mending wake up home. But the condition of my money..."

"Let me first. Slowly I wake up home."

"Now the most important thing is to increase the effort in the last three months, I must be able to reach my target."

"Hum, tomorrow Anton has arrived in the village. If I were to go home alone and give my gifts directly to them. I can't imagine how happy I feel when I see them happy."

"I miss the little things that always make my children and my wife happy."

"Hoam," he yawned. "I'm so fucking drowsy! I'd better get some sleep" he ended his murmur. Then he really fell asleep.
