JODOHKU MR. DUDA

Workup

"It's hard to give permission, but seeing that El has to get a good education and life, you get it. You're still young, you can still have another household, anyway" said the father that night.

I expressed a desire to complain about my fate, working again in Jakarta. Using the wisdom I obtained for four years of education in college. Why return to Jakarta, a city that has made many bitter memories? Relax, the gods are definitely not in that city. As per the plan he used to say, Surabaya will be his destination city.

"One message from mom, Nduk. If later El gets a stepfather, choose a good religion. God willing, if he is sholeh then he will be fully responsible to you."

"Nisa hasn't thought about it yet, Ma. Still focused on finding a job and watching the growth and development, El."

"Oiya Ma, Nisa's been asking for help from Dad, the neighbor behind the house. Who knows if someone's gonna help keep El."

"Lho, El you brought?" ask mom surprised.

"No, if my mother still would accompany him here. Just want to find someone to help mama, so as not to be too tired."

"What the hell, you are! Mama was just alone. We'd be lonely fast, if there wasn't El. What is troublesome, if you live in the village. No, no need to be weird. You just focus on working, if even later mama hassles, there are still brothers and uwakmu, kok."

"But, Ma. Later ...."

"Already, there is no buts," he said as he rose. Put El in the room, 'cause she fell asleep in my mom's lap.

I could only sigh happily, for El was like a jewel they carefully guarded.

And here I am now. Indoor measuring four × five. Return to life as a boarding child, such as when becoming a guide.

Actually bang Naresh and his wife, Nindi tea I called him. They have offered several times, living together in their homes. However, I subtly refused, citing the fear of being troublesome.

And from some of the cover letters that I sent, the oil-processed distribution company is the one who sent the invitation for the new employee acceptance test and if passed, continued to the interview process. After going through a series of strict selection processes, the company was finally willing to accept me as one of its employees.

\=\=\=

It's been five months, I've been working in this metropolis for an El. The salary I earn, I divide it into three parts. Sending to the village for the needs of El. Although my mother often refused, but still routine I give.

Save for my son's future and the rest for living expenses in Jakarta.

As a mother, I always miss El. Even though I tried hard to pull him off. So, every weekend I take the time to go home, sometimes once a week or twice a week. Depending on the health of the wallet.

El grew up to be an adorable child and her face .. Maybe this is God's way of telling her who her parents are. Almost ninety percent was similar to a God. Only the color of his skin followed me.

"El, can't be naughty. Kasian eyang ran after El, if he ate," I said during a video call with him.

"Mama, mama" he said as the tiny finger pointed at the screen. Eleven months can walk. However, to talk new can say the words mama and eyang.

"Mama is okay, Nduk, all sports if you chase El," said mama.

"Ma, I'm honest, if it's a hassle. Later Nisa find someone to take care of El."

"Already, Nduk. Don't worry. Many people helped my mother. It's old yeah, want to continue nyapin El."

"Yes Ma, take care of your health. Assalamu alaikum," I said hang up.

I guess a speck of clear crystal in the corner of the eye.

"Stop calling El ya, Nis," asked Mona, my best friend. I told him all my life stories.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Please, two more days can hug him as much."

"Hu'um, I don't think you can, Mon, old date."

"Oiya, that's right too."

"Then we'll just watch, will you?"

"Same as Dwi? Ogah, ntar is a mosquito repellent."

He chuckled, "so what's going on?"

"You make pie, you get the recipe."

"Depending, if you go home last night it must be ludes."

"Ishh," he said as he pinched my waist. We also laughed together.

.

"Nis, have you read the memo from HRD?" ask Mona.

"Already, about the meeting review in the title next week."

"Yes, it's like the one in the cancel hotel. Redirected in third floor meeting room. The participants are only branch managers on the island of Java."

"Hu'um, maybe the problem of the area of Java island is more complex, so it is broken down into reviews per island," I said.

"Yes time, well later our devised manager, this marketing. Kudu came along too, I don't know who's going to go with him."

"Isn't there Reina, the secretary?" my many.

"No, honey. Our boss's habits are not. Maybe because we are working with the target, so he wants to be able to handle his unfinished task at the meeting. That's why he rarely invites Reina, definitely one of the marketing division."

"Oh." I just nodded my head.

Kingg!! Nisa's front office phone rang.

"Yes, sir."

....

"Good, sir."

"Who's Nis?"

"Boss, I'm being asked to attend a meeting next week, huft."

"Oh, it's okay. Usually just note, anything in the meeting, really."

"Heem ...," I said as I continued my work.

\=\=\=

Monday

"Mon, I'm going upstairs first. Want to see the meeting room, boss said to master the situation," I said while raising both eyebrows.

"OK."

I also headed to the room on the third floor. The room with thick glass walls, black, has begun to improve.

It looks like a projector is already installed. Bottles of mineral water are available, on each table. Complete with sweeteners, plastic flowers in small pots.

I'm looking for a chair that will be where I will accompany the boss. I read one by one the name tags, which were arranged at each table.

And what is it? A very meritorious name, carving a dark story in my life? Really this?

\=\=\=

What name is actually on there? What steps did Nisa take?

Don't get tired of waiting, next episode well ... 😁🌷🙏
