Jemima's Choice

Expires

Starting a new life without Abram and Darwin, Jemima decided to resign from Darwin's office. With the monthly money that Darwin sends, Jemima survives while looking for a new job. Abram's anger at Darwin caused the three of them to drift apart, but Jemima was also angry with Abram because he felt he had no right to interfere in his personal matters. Darwin only came once a week or when he was free to bring Dira to his house to stay and Jemima did not come because he felt bad with Darwin's wife.

Without feeling 3 years have passed, Jemima lived the day as usual without the presence of the 2 male figures. Darwin who only occasionally met Dira but never missed to give money to Dira's needs. Darwin is currently busy with his son from Cindy and they have returned to building a household. Not wanting to hang on too much with Darwin, Jemima now works as a secretary for a director in a small company.

Dira who has entered the Children's Park he entrusted to Bude Wati to be delivered to school with a subscription ojek. A young man of his age, who initially often got orders from the application and finally Jemima offered him to be a subscription ojek to deliver his children to school.

"Je, I'd like an info if starting next week I've stopped being an ojek, I apply to be a security in one of the companies" said man with a sharp nose with slightly brownish skin but does not eliminate the figure of good looks.

"Yes Arka is okay, later I find a motorcycle near here just to deliver Dira. Good luck in a new job" said Jemima when delivering his son to school in front of the door.

"Yes Je thank you, I go first yes" said Arka and brought Dira along with Bude Wati to Dira school. Then he prepared himself to ride his motorbike to his workplace, a heavy equipment distributor company. Actually, he wanted to immediately stop working because the Director where he worked the basket and he must always be introspective so as not to be tempted by the Boss, while his Boss' wife always accused Jemima of using her husband. As long as he has not found a new place to work, he still survives his place to work today.

On the sidelines of work he had to find a new motorcycle that could deliver school children. Karna Bude Wati does not understand the use of online ojek applications so inevitably have to find an ojek who is willing to deliver them without the application.

"Je, Dira's school monthly money I've sent, you have something to buy for Dira?" darwin asked over the phone while Jemima was having lunch.

"No sir all still fulfilled, Dira only misses his Daddy Sir, he has not met the Father for more than a month" said Jemima while remembering several times Dira asked his Daddy who had rarely visited.

"I'll try this weekend Je" said Darwin

"I will not tell Dira Pak, because how many times you promised but did not come, pity him to ask you all day" Jemima was upset because several times Darwin always canceled his promise. Especially the last time Darwin promised Dira would play on the playground, the handsome boy was ready to wear his favorite batman t-shirt and chinos with a hat and shoes waiting in front of the house from noon to afternoon, but Darwin could not come and did not tell. Jemima had persuaded him to wait inside but Dira did not want to fall asleep on the porch of the house.

"I'm sorry Je" said Darwin, full of regrets

"Sorry to Dira only sir"

"Sir, yes, I want to go back to work" then Jemima ended his call with Darwin. Being a single parent was not easy the bigger Dira and began to ask a lot of questions that Jemima himself often confused to answer.

"Why Daddy doesn't bobo with us Ma"

"My friends Daddy always inter-school, koq I'm the same Om Arka and Bude"

"Why Daddy loves Clara Ma more"

"Why Mama works, my friend, she's waiting for school"

A series of questions that often asked Dira about his Daddy sometimes he is confused what to answer.

This weekend Darwin came to keep his promise to visit Dira.

"Dira come with Daddy to stay at Daddy's house"

"With to Daddy, Dila wants to be at home with Mama and Om Arka" Dira refused

"Om Arka who is it?" ask Darwin to ask Jemima

"The subscription is Dira, sir" said Jemima

"Not" said Jemima

Since the annulment of her marriage plans with Darwin, Jemima has had no interest in approaching other men whom she thinks about how to live life with her son. Arka ojek subscription to deliver Dira school several times playing to Jemima's house just chatting and Jemima respond to him only as a friend.

"If you want to marry me again tell me Je, maybe there's something I can help you with" Darwin said

"Huhis?? No plan sir, anyways I am still happy myself" replied Jemima without looking at Darwin.

"Je told Dira to stay at my house"

"Diraaaa want to stay at Daddy's?" ask Jemima to Dira who is currently playing his phone.

"Didn't want Mama" Dira answered and Darwin's face looked lethargic.

"Don't want his son, the Father often cancel appointments so he now does not want to be the same father"

"I'm sorry Je" said Darwin, bowing in lethargy.

"Evenings are also better if you go home later the wife and the father's son are looking for" Jemima did not want to repeat again, scolding and insults from Cindy because Darwin had played until late at night accompanied Dira to study.

"Yes Je I came home, Diraaa Daddy came home yes" and the boy just nodded to his father coming home, looking disappointed from Darwin because his son was not interested in his arrival. He knows this is one of his mistakes because lately he has not had enough time with Dira.

Sundays are always spent by Jemima to enjoy the day with his son.

"Mama Om Arka not here?" it has been 2 months Arka rarely also plays at home because of his new profession that often enters on Saturdays. Usually on Sundays the man takes time to play with Dira.

"Hi Dira" said Arka who had just arrived

"Ommm" said Dira

"Tumben here, how's your new Ka?" ask Jemima

"Yes, it's more regular now so you can continue the lecture" he said while sipping orange ice made by Jemima.

"Je, I have a vacancy at my place of work, the boss again needs a Secretary, but there are conditions"

"What are the conditions" asked Jemima with furrowed eyebrows

"He wants to be single, my salary is really big, but it has to be ready when needed, you want to try?"

"Ehmm how yes, I think in the past deh Ka, but thanks to the infonya yes" their relationship is only a few friends, these two people are deliberately guarding their hearts because of their respective backgrounds.

Jemima feels happy in his life now, learning to be a stronger person just for his son. Nothing that has ever been regretted in his life is all a way of life that must be lived.
