I Converted to Islam Because of Helper

There are many roads to Rome

After Joko's return, we had dinner together at Ge tom's house. Of course the dishes served are halal. 

"Ge cave wants to go back first, want to stop by the mall nyari batik clothes for the condangan later." 

"Yaudah Shang, ati-ati tar if you want to go to Palembang." The reply. 

Then Ge tom rushed into the room, Joko and I headed to the garage. 

"Sir Joko, wait a minute." Ge tom walked quickly to the garage and slipped an envelope into Joko's pocket. 

"Well is this the boss?" Ask Joko sir. 

"This is a little sustenance for Mr. Joko because it already considers my sister like family and helps her in doing the task. Please don't be rejected" Ge tom replied. 

"Then thank you boss, I will definitely help Mr. Shang as much as I can." said Mr. Joko. 

Ge tom is indeed a good-hearted person, even he routinely gives sembako to underprivileged communities. And make a donation to the orphanage. 

No exception my other brothers, even I try not to count in helping others. 

Of course the generous nature we have is the result of the upbringing of Mama and the late Father. 

"May be healthy always and long live Ma." I pray every time I remember Mama. 

In the mall I bought a batik shirt, a suit, and some basic pants. Do not forget to buy a pair of batik clothes and basic pants for Joko sir. Thank you always comes out of the box. 

After finishing shopping, Joko and I returned to Serpong's ivory house. Buk Neni opened the door when she heard the roar of my car engine. 

It looks like Neni's buk was sleeping before, visible from the look of his face is still sleepy. 

"Continue sleeping, ma'am, make breakfast tomorrow morning. I just go to Palembang again, but only briefly for four days" I told Neni's book. When I was in his field I allowed him to rest at his house, just the day before my return from Medan I asked him to go back to work cleaning the house. 

"Yes sir" he answered. Then go to his room.

  

"Sir Joko if you want to rest directly to the room, or if you are not sleepy can turn on the TV in the room. Hollywood action movies, Bollywood is also a lot of pack on the TV bottom table" I told Joko. 

"Then I go to the room, sir, considering that tomorrow will travel far so it needs enough rest" said Mr. Joko. 

"Yes sir, the snacks and drinks are there for you too" I replied. 

"Thank you, Shang" he replied. 

The morning after breakfast I and Joko sir immediately slid towards the destination, which is the mouth of Enim. The journey did not take too long because now there is a toll road. 

With the help of google maps we managed to reach Palembang precisely Muara Enim after spending eleven hours traveling. I've booked a hotel before. 

Night time we did not spend for rest but around the hotel looking for typical Palembang food that is pempek and shop. Fat nian, their language.

"Later there must be my colleagues also there sir, representatives from PT Pratama Nusantara Sakti who were also invited, where I worked first. 

 I called my friend not to come home before I met with Shang and I" said Mr. Joko before leaving. 

"Yes, sir, I hope we meet with your friend" I replied. 

Joko and I headed to the wedding venue at two in the afternoon and reached the venue at around three in the afternoon. 

Joko and I walked into the building that had been decorated in such a way. Looks luxurious with Palembang nuance. 

Like other weddings, Joko and I greeted the guests. 

I went to the buffet table to eat, then sat down in the guest chair. The bride is sitting in the seat of the king and queen. The man wears a silver suit while the woman wears a cream-colored dress with a lustrous Indian style complete with her hijab. 

"Sir Joko.! How are you?" The sound from the side of Mr. Joko surprised me. 

"Well, Danang? Here too?" replied Mr. Joko with a smile towards his interlocutor. 

"Yes Joko sir, I happen to be a close relative with the bride" said the young man named Danang. 

"Oh, good that way. This knows my boss, Mr. Shang's name." said Mr. Joko by turning to me. 

I immediately smiled at Danang, I interpreted her age as mine. 

"And the Gafur." replied with a smile. 

"Can you get here, Joko sir? Invited too, huh?" Ask Danang to Joko. 

"I went with Mr. Shang, he happened to be a representative of the Alexindo company. He said the entourage of Mr. Hamid, Mr. Revan, Mr. Aji, Mr. Taufik also soon arrived. Representative of PT Pratama Nusantara sakti" said Mr. Joko. 

"Yes it has become a tradition in our workplace that every married there is always a representative who comes sir. When will it be my turn to follow? Hehehehe." said Danang. 

"You didn't get to know Lilis? Didn't work, did it?" Reply to Joko. 

Again the name Lilis was called, and again this heart trembled. Is that how Lilis's influence in my life? 

"Sorry sir, yes. As hard as I struggle if Lilis does not want to yes how." reply Danang. 

"Sabar Nang, there are still many beautiful women. Especially in Palembang the girl is beautiful and good." continued Joko sir. 

"Hehe, just pray, sir." 

"Yes my sir went home first yes, it's been a long time here because. Hehehehe." said Danang to Joko. 

"Kok rush Nang, yes I've met another time." reply Joko sir. 

"I'm sorry sir." Danang waved his hand at me. 

"Yes please, be careful." I reply. 

"Sir, can I show you a picture of someone?" I asked Joko. 

"May sir, whose photo?" Ask Joko who looks curious. 

I pulled out my phone and showed a photo in my mobile phone gallery, which is a photo of Lilis that he once sent along with his mother and sisters. 

"Well, how do you know that picture? That's the Lilis I once meant and I discussed with Danang earlier, friends on Facebook or Instagram huh?" Ask Joko sir with a simple face. 

"No sir, I know Lilis whom Joko sir means. He even worked at my brother's house, Ge tom. As a maid." I explained to Joko sir. 

"real sir? Ever since he came out I don't know any more about Lilis. But, when she was working as a maid?" mr. Joko is starting to get curious about my story. 

Then the view of Mr. Joko turned towards the guest who had just arrived. A happy face from his face. 

"That's my colleagues sir, representatives from PT Pratama Nusantara sakti." said Mr. Joko to me. 

"Well, just call sir to join us." I reply. I wish I could get more information about Lilis from them. 

We soon joined them. Mr. Joko is certainly very happy to meet his partner, and his partner was the same, looking happy to meet Mr. Joko. 

I ventured to ask about Lilis. 

"Where do you think Lilis is now? All I know is that he joined his new father's family at the Palembang boarding school" I said with a bit of hesitation. 

"Know, Lilis' mother is a long-time employee who has worked in our project company as well, and some time ago her mother Lilis married the owner of a boarding school. Now they live in the boarding house Indralaya." replied Mr. Taufik. 

"Bu Kusuma Ningrum is the sir in question?" Timpal, Anwar. 

"Yes sir, your ex is hehe." replied Mr. Taufik. 

"It's about Bu Kusuma you can't forget." added Mr. Joko. 

They laugh in unison. 

"Why did Mr. Shang ask about Lilis? You know him too?" Ask Mr. Hamid. 

"Yes sir I know Lilis..." I told you in detail about Lilis who used to work at Ge tom's. 

Mr. Hamid also learned about the case of his mother Lilis remarried to the father of the owner of the boarding house Indralaya. 

"Can you take her to the boarding school where Lilis lives?" My toot. 

I was hoping they would help me meet Lilis.
