Jemima's Choice

Chapter 53

This morning Jemima woke up in a fit of sadness.

"Mama mama woke up" Dira patted the face of Jemima who was still sound asleep.

"Ehmmm Mama drowsiness Dir" Jemima still closed his eyes and still refused to move from his bed.

"Mama didn't work today" Jemima said again, raising a blanket to his head.

"Asikk mama at home" said Dira pleasures and kisses her Mama's cheek.

Because he was used to undergoing his obligations to take care of Dira, Jemima finally woke up and prepared food for Dira school supplies.

Bento with cute decorations that resemble Angry Bird prepared Jemima to take Dira to his school, he put it in Dira's bag and check back Dira's school equipment.

"Be careful, son, who is smart at school" then a long kiss landed on Dira's cheek which until now has not refused to kiss her Mama. After taking Dira to Jemima's school immediately went to Rudi's office to complete his resignation.

Jemima wore jeans and casual t-shirts to the office building that yesterday he was still an employee there.

"Excuse me sir" he said as he opened the door to Rudi's room. Rudi was sitting in his chair while watching his phone.

"Come on Mima, Ouhh Mbak Mima I was shocked by your message yesterday. Sit here first" Mr. Rudi got up from his chair and approached Jemima trying to embrace while inviting him to sit on one of the sofas there.

With a swift Jemima dodged Rudi's embrace. "Had habit" said Jemima annoyed. "Yes sorry sorry. Let's sit down first" Rudi then chose to sit in front of Jemima.

"So Mbak Mima did not resign yes, a week's leave is okay" said Rudi

"Sorry sir I stick with my decision, sorry sir I'm upset with your wife" Jemima clutched both hands.

"Yes I know, I'm sorry about you, later if you don't have any, which I'm sorry about Je. I raised your salary. Okay, okay, okay?" persuade Rudi

"Once again sorry can't sir." Jemima firmly held his stance

"Well, if that's your decision. I will ask HRD to take care of your resignation. I'm also upset about my wife." Rudi tendered himself to the sofa while putting on an annoyed face.

"Father 1 is not care to use find another. Better you fix first the first wife of the Father, just looking for a new one" Jemima said.

"Yes yes, but it's good Je klo there are 2. Let me stay young"

"Yes already ah the business of the Father, I went home first sir thanks for the cooperation at this time. Don't forget the rest of the salary and severance in the transfer to me sir" Jemima got up from his seat and gave his hand to Rudi for a farewell greeting.

"Yes, Mima is calm. If I change my mind I am ready to accept Mba Mima back so my wife also I accept" Rudi received Jemima's hand and rubbed the hand while smiling ignorantly.

"Oh Father" immediately Jemima took his hand off Rudi and left from there immediately.

Enjoying her days as unemployed she took advantage of by learning to cook. Recollects the past when he had to open a simple restaurant while in Semarang. He wondered if he should do the same. No need for a luxurious place that is important the money is spinning.

"If I don't find a job anymore I open a place to eat just like before" Jemima thought while sending some of his CV to several company emails opening job vacancies as a secretary.

It didn't feel like he was in his house for nearly a month. Admittedly small he is very happy because he can enjoy time with Dira at any time but this is not possible he does continuously his savings can be drained because there is no income, but this is impossible he can do continuously his savings can be depleted because there is no income, whereas he never used Darwin's money for Dira because he felt it was not his right. Today after returning from school Jemima invited Dira to visit Oma and Opa because he had not met for a long time.

"Haii Dira Oma's favorite grandson" greeted Mama Darwin when Dira entered the family room where Magda and Bagus, Darwin's parents were busy watching television and it turns out Cindy and her son were also playing there.

"Omaaa"welcome back to Dira and hug Omanya then take turns to her Opa.

"Just got home from school?" magda asked as she hugged her only grandson.

""Iya Oma, Dira is happy because now Mama can shuttle and pick up Dira at any time" replied Dira pleased with her innocence.

"Are you not working, Je?" good question

"I've quit Pa's job and I'm looking for a new one, but nothing's right" Jemima said with a small smile and a displeased look from Cindy.

"Why don't you just work Darwin's place again? You say the same Darwin to be placed in a position that fits you" said Good again who is currently stroking the hair of his grandson.

"It looks like Darwin's company is full of Pa" Cindy said.

"The hell, 1 just can't" said Magda astonished and furrowed his eyebrows, disbelief in Cindy's words.

"Nothing Ma Pa, I have also interviewed in several places and just wait for the results" said Jemima lying when until now no company called him for an interview.

Jemima was uncomfortable with Cindy's presence there, and she felt Cindy looking at him unhappily. To avert Cindy's eyes she goes to the kitchen to make a cold drink but without her knowing it turns out Cindy is following her.

"Ehmm it's nice not to work, you can finance your child" said Cindy from behind Jemima's body. Jemima who was opening the refrigerator was surprised by Cindy's voice that appeared suddenly, immediately Jemima turned her body to ask Cindy's intentions.

"Hmm how come Cin, don't worry I'm just taking a short break, I'm also looking for a new job" Jemima looked at Cindy with dislike.

"Halahhh surely you deliberately benefit your child in order to get money from Darwin, right, quite you do not have to work hard already have a house, car, saving hundreds of millions, saving hundreds of millions, you think I don't know how you used Dira to Darwin" Cindy said

"Well, Cindy, I never used my son. I am sincere about whatever happens to me and I will not sacrifice Dira just for this pseudo-material. I work koq, money from Darwin for Dira I never touch it belongs to Dira open me "Jemima face turned red because it is upset, it feels like he would like to slap Cindy for his accusation.

"I don't need to talk to you" Jemima left Cindy and found that Darwin had just arrived.

"Hi Je, you come to Mami's house in the afternoon" asked Darwin

"Yes just drove Dira to meet Oma and her Opa" replied Jemima ketus because she was still upset with Cindy. Jemima had to hold back his emotions because for the sake of the happiness of Dira at this time who seemed very happy to be able to meet his Daddy.
