JODOHKU MR. DUDA

Australia

"Want to go again?" asked El with a flat face.

"Yes, not for long, just a week," replied Nisa as calmly as possible. He already felt that there was something from the question of his eldest son.

"Nina's coming, Ma?" An innocent as well as adorable voice suddenly burst out from behind.

Nisa turned around, her tiny hands already tugging at Nisa's pajamas. Seeing the clear eyeballs and round face made all the agility of Nisa yawn.

"Lho, Nina, right, has to go to school. I'll have to skip a week. Later teacher love punishment, how?"

"It is impossible, ah, said the teacher 'we must not punish others carelessly, especially if not wrong.' Nina, no mistake, Ma. Time to join your own mother can not," protested.

"Can't! Why do you want to go with all your mama? You, right, have to go to school. Just say you are lazy school because the PR is a lot," El said. This boy always interrupts his time talking to Nisa. Make him forget or even not so express the grunts in his heart.

Lately El has changed a bit, his emotions are ignited more quickly.

Nisa stopped her activities of packing clothes that will be brought tomorrow to the Kangaroo country. The plan is to build a resort in the Airlie Beach area, Queensland.

The city has a calm and relaxed tropical atmosphere, an ideal place for acclimatization before an adventure to the Whitsunday Islands.

The lush green rainforests of Airlie Beach do calm the mood of the travelers. They can visit old-fashioned boutiques, cafes, and shops. Waiting for the right time to sail.

So it's not wrong to build a resort there.

"El, don't dong, same sister." Nisa looked at El for a moment, before sitting on the edge of the bed. She grabs her youngest daughter, helping Nina sit next to her.

"What El's brother said is true, honey. Nina, right, is still a Elementary School student whose job is to learn. As for Mama as El and Nina's parents, her job is to work, make money for the family. Let's eat, buy Nina's clothes, and toys."

"Kok, now Mama's working? Though Papa was busy working, until he came home late at night," refuted El.

"Your father is still sad at the living grandparents. So it's mama who has to replace Papa for a while. Mom and Dad changed places. Papa's job is now to keep an eye on you at home, while you have to keep an eye on the employees in the office."

"Until when?"

"Until your Papa's grief is gone, El."

"But Papa never left for long, bring a lot of clothes like Mama," said Nina still with adorable style.

"Papa's work was still a little, not much as it is now."

"El doesn't like Mama too busy" complained El. He then passed from the room, leaving Nisa and Nina who gasped at the annoyance of the Junior High student.

How else would you like? Angga no longer wants to meet his employees at all. The reporters still like to look for him to explore the story about the truth of sex irregularities that befell Angga. News spread everywhere. Never meet with his own employees, see his business partners he is no longer tasteful.

If this is the case, Nisa will stand in place of Angga's position and responsibility. Although the woman had been in the office world, but being an executive who oversees thousands of employees spread across several regions, had made her rattled. He must update his knowledge of business management.

Not tired of him cramming his brain to be able to run the company. His efforts are not in vain, now his name is no longer in the eye. If Nisa used to be considered an onion, a woman who should be pitied for having married a gay man. Now Nisa's name is written as one of the candidates for female entrepreneurs who will receive the Entrepreneurs Organization Womenpreneur Award (EOWA).

However, like two sides of the currency, his success in career, made Nisa feel far from family. The soul of the housewife has changed with the soul of the woman who thirsts for success. Problem after problem that comes to the company, he makes a challenge for himself.

While Angga, of course he felt proud of the success of Nisa. He can be calm in his early retirement. Everyday Angga took over Nisa's duties, she would accompany and take care of their two children. Before and after school. He devoted all his love and attention to El and Nina. Angga's patient attitude and rarely angry, making children become close.

Despite her curiosity, Nisa never asked her husband. All he did, Nisa just waited, until Angga himself would explain.

"Out of the country again?" ask mama Nisa. His face was staring at his daughter.

"Yes, Ma, this time to Kangaroo country, just a week. I want your help, if you have time please keep an eye on the children from far away" Pinta Nisa said.

Although there is Angga who takes care of his family when he travels, Nisa is calmer if the mother is involved in watching over her granddaughter.

"Observating how? I've seen for myself how your husband takes care of both. He is a good and patient man. I was in vain watching them."

Nisa smiled bitterly, hearing my mother's review of Angga. Nisa knows her mother never bothered to hear rumors about her daughter-in-law. To my mother, Angga is still a good daughter-in-law. He fell because of the supportive situation at that time, but now at least Angga has shown his intention to change.

The middle-aged woman gave up completely on their household decisions to the child, whatever her decision, she would always be on Nisa's side.

Australia's Nisa and her team immediately work when they arrive. After leading a limited meeting, he left his team with the developer. There are people who are more skilled in this field.

Nisa herself is conducting a small survey, paying attention and noting what they should add to the resort to attract travelers.

After a day of walking here and there, observing how residents and tourists can coexist, give each other an advantage, symbiotic mutualism.

When that day's work was done, the entire team and crew had returned to the hotel, Nisa took the time to take a look out for the ocean view featuring the sunset on Airlie beach. It looks like an amazing flash of fire. The mixture of red, yellow and orange colors seen at sunset seems to say the Creator loves beauty.

"The horizon is where the path is very long and the atmosphere blocks all other colors, so the red and orange colors we always see. Though there are still other colors like violet, blue, and purple."

Nisa looked to the side, the voice that came suddenly enough to make her piqued. Who is speaking in Indonesian anyway? Wasn't he just standing alone and not carrying a red and white flag?

"Hello, sister of the water demon."

The voice greeted him again, as Nisa looked to the side. The man who owned the voice was tall, handsome, and was smiling at him. Loud smile with calm eyes.

"Shock, Mom?" tanyanya back.

"Heem, of course," said Nisa rikuh, "know where, I come from Indonesia."

"Include Axel Valen Winata, just call Axel," he said again, without answering Nisa's question.

"Gea Nisa Sastiara, Nisa's go-to, "welcome Nisa while shaking hands.

"Thank you, oiya before forgetting your last question__"

"Do you know where I'm from?" cut Nisa fast.

Axel laughed crisply. "That's my skill."
