GOOD MORNING MY ANGEL 22

(Tien Kumalasari)

 

That morning Mr. Broto was reading the morning paper. A cup of milk chocolate had already been spent before it was cold. He just wanted to have breakfast bread freshly grilled butter and a slice of cheese, because he had to rush to the office.

He enjoyed the pieces of bread while reading the newspaper. There was a headline that again made him wonder.

“A wealthy businessman and philanthropist will share help in the form of money and basic necessities in remote areas. That businessman is R.Bramantyo.”

Mr. Broto stopped reading, seeing the look of the mentioned businessman. Back he saw the twin face of Rio.

“Bu, look at this Mom, this is what we see on television, whose face looks like Rio's right?” said Mr. Broto while opening his newspaper wide and showing it to his wife.

Broto took his glasses, then looked at the picture in the newspaper, which her husband showed.

“This? Right sir, this is the guy we saw on the television. Right, exactly Rio.”

“Ran there is a face exactly like this.”

“Try later when you meet Rio, this picture is shown. Surely he is happy, his face is exactly with the face of a big businessman,” said bu Broto with a laugh.

“Yes already Ma'am, I have to come in the morning, because there was a meeting with an envoy from a company.”

“Amportant guest sir? So early in the morning?”

“Not so, previously I had to talk to the staff, and learn the mail already sent.”

“Yes sir, I don't know about the company. There should be Restu, so that the work of the Father is lighter,” regretted Broto.

“Already, don't remember him anymore. Let him learn to live life, and know what it's like to scavenge rupiah for rupiah, not just enjoy the pleasure of spending money, which eventually leads him to an unworthy behavior.”

“Yes, yes sir, but anyway I am his mother, it is appropriate that I feel lost.”

“Only mother feels lost? This father especially. But we can't be whiny.  Think that Restu is learning to live life.”

“Ya Pak.”

“I thought, Wulan I'll have to learn about controlling a business.”

“Wulan is smart. He also attended college, although not yet comfortable because then his parents died.”

“That's Mom, maybe starting next month I'll have her help me in the office.”

“Iya Sir, later I help talk to Wulan, hopefully she is willing.”

“Ya already, I leave first yes.”

“Iya Sir, be careful on the road.”

“Says Mom wants to shop today?”

“Iya, later I ask Rio to help us.”

“Call from now.”

“Now has not come Sir, only half-eight hours, usually Wulan told to come between nine.”

“Yes already, it's up to Mom,” said Mr. Broto as he walked to the car, where the driver from the office had picked him up.

“Pure, what do you make for our breakfast?” ask Wulan in the morning after cleaning the house.

“I'm boiling vegetables, there's sambal pecel in the refrigerator.”

“Good Pure, pecel rice, it's been a long time I don't eat pecel.”

“It just so happened yesterday to buy bean sprouts and cucumbers at the greengrocer, while in the refrigerator there are also spinach and long beans.”

“Hm, sedative. Same make a clap egg huh Mur?”

“Mau fried egg ceplok, just three yes Bu, same mas Rio.”

“Today Rio did not come, he said there was a business. So make it for two people only. Me, same you.”

“Alright, then. Uh Mom, there's a call,” said Murni.

Wulan immediately ran towards the living room, when she heard her phone ringing. It was from his mother. Since Restu was expelled, Broto asked that Wulan consider them his parents, so he then also considered them as a replacement for his dead parents.

“Hallo Mom,” say so open the phone.

“Wulan, what are you doing?”

“Newly finished cleaning the house, if Pure is making pecel.”

“Wah, very good.”

“Mother want? Later Wulan send to home.”

“No need Wulan, Sarni has cooked overlap.”

“Wah, it's also delicious.”

“Rio is here? Later when it comes, mom asks that she deliver mom and Sarni shopping,”

“Oh, sorry Mom, today Rio did not come, he said there is a need in his village, maybe two or three days.”

“Oh, so yes.”

“If Mom wants to shop, let Wulan alone deliver the same Pure.”

“Really? Must have been fun shopping foursome.”

“Now Mom? But Wulan hasn't taken a shower.”

“Not now, just want to shop for home needs, not in a hurry. You haven't had breakfast yet.”

“Supply breakfast, but want to take a shower first.”

“Solve everything, mom also wants to take a shower first.”

“Alright, I will also tell Sarni that we want to shop together.”

Wulan put down her phone, then rushed to the back. 

“Where is the vegetable, I helped to chop up for a while.”

“It's done Mom, just fry the eggs.”

Then I take a shower first, so will you, because we will deliver shopping, surely with yu Sarni also.”

“Really?” tanya Pure happy.

“You also note what our own needs are, so we can all shop.”

“Good Mom. But sorry ma'am, do you have any dizziness medication?”

“There is a medicine closet. You sick?”

“No, just a little dizzy, maybe because of the sleep last night.”

“Ironing clothes Bu, it has been three days piling up.”

“After a new meal you take the medicine, or you later do not need to go shopping?”

“Ikut Ma'am, just a little dizzy, later after taking the medicine must have healed.”

“Alright, I prepare the medicine first, then.”

It's been a week since Restu worked to help Supri in the workshop. Supri was happy because Restu quickly understood about the machine in just a short time. In a state of being forced to move, Restu can't help but have to live it. Every day struggling with the engine, until the body sweats and oil, it does not feel. Suddenly Restu felt, that enjoying money with sweat pouring delicious. Only now did he know, that to earn money must be accompanied by effort and effort that is not easy. It is this money-seeking pleasure that opens his eyes to the real life. Not to waste money easily, and without calculation, for pleasure that turns out to be nothing but meaningless.

“Rest first Restu, here I bring rice wrap for all of us,” said Supri who was just a moment to buy food. There were two other employees who helped in the workshop.

“I finish this first, he said it will be taken at one noon.”

“Nothing. Left to eat first, must be finished, later to be helped Sardi, will they have finished.”

Restu was forced to leave his job, after washing his hands he immediately ate together, sat on the floor, and devoured deliciously.

“You regret Restu, forced to live a simple life like this? The body of oil and sweat splashed, then ate with a flutter on the floor. Eat rice wrap anyway,” said Supri while staring at Restu who enjoyed his lunch with ravenous.”

“I'm happy to do it. This is a lesson for my life. Thank you for pulling my body and soul for something so meaningful in this life.”

Supri laughing.

“At last you know no, that for a bite of rice we have to pour our sweat.”

“You are right, and enjoying eating from sweat is a pleasure. I also thank you that you have brought me to know the Lord, the God of all people, the Most Compassionate and Merciful, who always hears the cry of the repentant.”

“I'm grateful you can understand when God gives us trials. I used to live a life of deprivation. After High School, I fell in love with a girl, and married her in a life that was still lacking. I work in a workshop, save little by little, then can make a small workshop like this. So if life is miserable, I am full to enjoy it. But now I can feel the good life. Not because the wealth is abundant, but because I can eat well with my son and wife, and can provide job opportunities for others, and I call it, this is a gift,” said Supri at length.

Restu nodded in understanding. He can accept what his best friend says, and is ready to live anything, for the continuation of his life.

“Who knows, later you can save, then can set up a workshop too and not only follow me.”

“Aamiin,” says Restu excited.

But while they were eating, suddenly a car stopped. A luxurious car, and a man dressed in perlente, though half old, got out of the car.

“Mas, please fill the wind yes.”

Restu was about to stand by leaving his meal, but one of his friends had preceded him.

“Let me just.”

“Suddenly the car window glass on the left opens, and a beautiful woman looks out.

“Mas, a bit fast yes, we are in a hurry,” said the woman, whereas one of the workshop employees was working on the wind charging in the car.

“Sabar, dear,” says the man.                                                                    

Restu turned his head towards the car, feeling familiar with the woman's voice. And surprised because he is Lisa, and the man is Mr. Thomas, Lisa's superior..

There was anger that then reached into his soul. Angry because the woman named Lisa who had made him fall and forget everything, then when he needed help, he ignored her. Of course, because Lisa is not the girl who has the love that Restu used to feel. Lisa just wants her money, her property, and the fun she gives. When Restu comes in trouble, where would he care anymore?

At that time Lisa also turned to him, but of course she did not recognize him anymore. Restu who is handsome and dashing, now looks skinny and dirty with oil.

Restu was relieved when the car passed.

“You look weird. Know them?”

“Dia Lisa,” Reply Restu briefly.

Supri of course understood, because Restu had told her everything before following her and was willing to work for her.

“Oh, him? Women are not real, the makeup is flashy, the words are rude. Who was the victim? You know?”

“He's Mr. Thomas, his own boss. She has always loved Lisa.”

“Yes already, why do you look upset? Jealousy?”

“No. Not at all. He's been a long time I let go of my memory, but when I see him, I want to be angry.”

“Only want, but don't get mad dong. He is also the one who shows you that true love. Not hers.”

“True. Alright, I won't be angry anymore.”

“Continue eating, and take a short break to pray.”

Ms. Broto and Wulan are engrossed in shopping, talking, as Sarni and Murni help to choose the items they need.

“What mom says is true, Wulan. I want you to help him in the office.”

“But Wulan has never worked, Mom, where can Wulan do it?”

“Why can't. You are smart. In the past because you knew that you did well in your college, you wanted to finance your college. You refused anyway.”

“Iya Ma'am, because Wulan has been a lot of trouble Mr. Sama Mommy, and actually Wulan wants to focus on living a household life.”

“Sayang Restu wasted you.”

“It's okay Mom, it's this is the life line that Wulan must live. Wulan is happy to get a father and mother as a replacement for Wulan's parents who are not there.”

“You're a good boy, we love you so much.”

“Bu, meat at home stay a little, plus more yes Bu,” said yu Sarni who is still choosing vegetables.

“Iya, it's okay Ni.”

“Alright, you can think about Wulan, later if there is time, you will definitely talk to you. I was just telling you about the father's wish, so you can think about it.”

“Iya Ma'am, Wulan will think.”

“Sarni, buy tomatoes that are still fresh and cooked, earlier you want tomato juice too,” order bu Broto.

When they finished shopping, Sarni and Murni immediately brought their groceries, following their two employers.

“You want to buy something, Wulan?”

"It doesn't look like Mom."

“You looking around for clothes?”

“If I want to, Wulan deliver. But Wulan doesn't want to buy.”

“Ya already then, we go home yes.”

Wulan precedes having to pick up a car in the parking lot, and asks that the others wait for her in the lobby.

But suddenly Pure held his head. Yu Sarni was surprised, seeing Pure's face also looked pale.

“You why Pure?” ask her mother worried.

“Nnothing Mbok, it's been from morning, I forgot to take the medicine given bu Wulan.”
