I'M BETWEEN YOU AND HIM

THE LONG-LEGGED UNCLE

"How are you, Dika?"

"Thank God be good, sir! Dad how are you?"

"Mmmh, as you see now. Just wait for time!" I gulped nervously in front of Mr. Anjar.

Really yes! The big man is so different. Looks elegant and high charisma. Hhh... I wasn't made to stand in front of him. While he looks happy.

"You don't seem happy, see me again!"

"It's not so, sir! I'm just nervous!" my honest answer made Mr. Anjar smile.

"I am old, Dika! It's no longer powerful to raise the company I built from scratch. My own son also had no interest in pursuing my tongue. Hhh'..... I am just waiting for you!"

"But it turns out, you don't seem to like me that much either." Pak Anjar made me feel ashamed.

"Sorry, sir! I have disappointed father. I am honestly ashamed of my father. Shame because of my actions that smear the face of the father. I also damaged the good image of the father's company in the public eye. I dare not apologize properly to you! I have destroyed my father's hope. Again sorry!" I could only look down, not daring to look at him.

"I like young people who think ahead. Spirit and full of creativity are also brilliant ideas. This nation can be great if some of the young successors of their nation are willing to fight hard to advance their own country. Not just accept the flow of being what or how without daring to commit to taking the biggest risk. Because if you understand, it is only after the great risk that you get makes your brain race faster and better to survive and fight again instinctively. But.there are some people who become easily discouraged and discouraged when the ordeal hit him. Though you know the saying, the higher a tree looms, the stronger the wind above it hits. That's right, Dika!"

"You think successful businessmen like Bob Sadino don't wake up covered in sweat, blood and tears to build his business empire? Woooow, you must often play around in the library or bookstore to find out the story behind their success. I learned a lot from their experiences and their life stories."

Rosa and I had a lot of enlightenment that day. About life and success. What a seminar classroom experience that I can't get easily. Getting advice and lectures from successful entrepreneurs like Pak Anjar is the most valuable opportunity.

"What's your plan ahead? Don't you have any interest in rejoining me where you grew up? Or how you want it?"

I stammered being presented with a choice that felt heavy to me.

"I do not mean to refuse the father's offer is very tempting. But... I seem to have been left far behind from fellow colleagues in the company. If I took the opportunity, I was worried that it would slow down the pace of the development of the father's company."

"Okay, your argument I accept. Then I fix selling all my shares in the company you work for, Ros!" said Pak Anjar teasing Rosa. And Rosa accepted it.

"Then, your next plan, Dika?"ask Mr. Anjar again turned to me.

"Right now I'm just starting a chicken splinter business, sir! It's still very premature, because it's only been a few months. There is still a lot to learn about opening this business. But I'm optimistic, slowly I can get better."

"Step ahead of you then? Want to open a chicken splinter factory with your own license?"

"Hehehe.. is still very far from my thinking, sir! Too far away as it is!" I laughed embarrassedly and just looked down.

"Then? Just that much of your illusion? Dare not grow? Capital constraints?"

"One of them includes that, sir! I stepped slowly as I steadied myself."

"Hahahaha.You are broken by love, Dika! I know it! Get up! Wake up from a long sleep that only makes your body weaker! Take the opportunity God gave you. Take that cock in the blind morning! Don't let a little animal peck at your sustenance! Understand what I mean?"

I was silent to her words that were so sad. True what he said! I admire him more deeply.

"You knew? I sold all my valuable assets to start my business. Even I remember, my own wife sacrificed our wedding ring too when my first attempt failed miserably, broke unreserved."

I thought back to Ranti. Remembering her sacrifice at the beginning of our household. Really now I realize, the success of a person does start from the full support of people who stand right next to him. His partner. And again I regret letting Ranti out of my life.

"Tell me your dreams, now!"

"I just want to live happily, sir!" Mr. Anjar and Rosa laughed together. They seemed to be responding to an innocent little boy with simple desires. I was embarrassed and looked down.

"I'd love to be able to open up my business to help weak people like me. Who want to try to achieve a better life, but are constrained by many obstacles one of them is capital. I want to make young people drop out of school into advanced entrepreneurs by equipping and modifying them a business. Also the housewives who want to have another income that wants to help ease the burden of her husband in making a living. Little did I already have a few of those who were my dealer and dealer of splints."

Rosa and I looked at each other. Distraught mixed. What's more I. Durian is collapsing. Mr. Anjar is a long-legged uncle to me.

I sparkled with eyes almost spilling tears. I sat Mr. Anjar by touching his hand and kissing him. I consider him like my own father.

Many times I thanked him. He just smiled and nodded. Aaah... What was my dream last night?

Mr. Anjar gave me and Rosa each a package.

"Open up!"

It contains the latest smartphone with the most advanced design and the best advantages. Whaaah.. !

"That's already me. It already contains the starter card and also your numbers that you can call. I have been having a hard time communicating with you guys! Eit... This is to be used for our business yes Dika! Not for love!"

"This is what's more, sir?" asked Rosa to make me also follow her to check one more box in the paper bag of her gift earlier.

"That's just a little gift from me for your work so far that's been pretty good in my company."

ATM card is one of the leading private banks. Whaaah....! O Allah.. This really confused rich guy seems to be squandering his money! murmured my little heart but girang is not the head. I saw Rosa cheering happily too.

"Don't look at the number! If you can, increase the nominal even more and actively save for the future of your children!"

Rosa and I smiled happily. Very glad. Gaining an abundance of affection and attention from an entrepreneur named Anjar Pranoto. Alhamdulillaah!

We also left Pak Anjar who will still spend a few days in his village in Rancamaya. I was taken back by Rosa to where I came from. But I asked him to drop me off at the intersection of mount sahari senen. It's night by day.

Again Rosa reminded me of the good intentions of Mr. Anjar and no longer disappointed him. He was a good friend to support me even with his chatty and rude nature. I am grateful to have a friend like him.

I promise that I will soon realize my wishes that are fully supported by Mr. Anjar and also support Rosa.

"Thank you very much, Ros! I'm so lucky to have a friend like you. Thank you! My regards to Mas Anang and the twins!"

"OKAY. Don't forget to call me when your proposal is complete. I'm just about to resign once I get clear certainty from you!"

"Hadeeeuh..your words are like a young man who says love and asks for a reply as soon as possible!"

"Hey, parents! I will never fall in love with you, because I already have a husband who is very competent in glorifying my love. Tau?"

"Haha... Don't be so hard, Ros! I'm just kidding! Sorry!"

"Your joke is hard for me middle-aged woman who is more longing for a happy family! Haha.... Eat the search because of the sloppy woman!"

"Rose! Your words are so cruel!"

"Parents like you have to be shaken in the head to be conscious. Obviously your mistress is cheap! If he is passionate about self-esteem and the principles of true love, he should stand by you no matter how hard the obstacles are. Not running away after seeing the fact that you were crushed in front of him fell and drowned without the intention to pull him from the death of your man."

"Hahahaha.stop, stop your mouthless talk Rosa!"

"I know, you're not listening to my spicy words! But I also know better, if your heart justifies my words! Really khan????"

"Yes Miss Rosa is wise, beautiful, kind and not arrogant!" I relented. Because all his words are right. But I don't want to talk about it any further because it would only make me worse off by blaming others for my own mistakes.

Now both Ranti and Vika are just my past. After all, they were once part of my life. Fill my days and decorate my journey. I have promised to remember all good, not evil.
