Life After Forty's
Episode 4 New life



Fauzans


and Amanda is a fairly successful couple betrothed by the second


their parents. At the age of 22, Amanda had just finished


his S1 lecture when his father introduced himself to Fauzan.  Fauzan was 24 years old.  Amanda's father was a senior of the parents


Fauzan was in college when they both attended Salemba.


            Fauzan had just broken up


love is so stunned by Amanda's beauty.  Plus when at the time of their first meeting Amanda very


nice to talk to.  Ungainly


they talk a lot, anything is discussed intelligently and pleasantly.  The more they relate, the more


Fauzan was comfortable near Amanda.  So, not wanting to linger in a long-distance relationship[1], Fauzan proposes to Amanda at


the 6th month they were together, and married when it was even one year from the meeting


first them.


            Amanda married at the age of 23,


he was quite young, but he was happy.  Fauzan is a very understanding and supportive man


his will.  Including his love for


science.  Before with Fauzan, Amanda


never had a lover, the principle of his life no time for love. She has been a woman who has enjoyed learning since


small-time.  Her hobbies are reading books, any book


he read, from romance novels to political books have been bulldozed.  Even so he is a supple person, his friend


many, active in many youth organizations.  Many men approached


but he always refused subtly.  Because all he knew was forbidden by religion.  He is not a religious fanatic,


just trying to avoid what is forbidden.  Just want to be safe.  Back at the beginning of her marriage, there was something


little interesting.  When Fauzan proposed to her, he,


he applied for the condition not to forbid him from returning to school.   Because Fauzan likes Amanda's intelligence


of course, that requirement was easily fulfilled.  But it's actually hard for Fauzan to take Amanda off just now


marry to Amsterdam to continue S2 because he actually wants to hurry


married because they do not want to be apart for too long, especially when Bimo has to


born in Amsterdam. Fauzan had to be round-trip Jakarta-Amsterdam because at that time


he had just a few years of work, yet dared to leave that career


he just woke up.  It's just after Amanda


finished S2 they actually live together in Jakarta.

Subsequent to


arriving in Brisbane, Amanda, Bimo and Citra had to undergo a series of


adaptations. Adaptation is not easy, but it can be done by


all three.  When they arrived at


Brisbane, Citra was a bit confused because she had to face people who


speaking ‘Dora’ a little bit he understands but he is too shy to


practise it.  But when the mother


put him in Kindie[2] which means he has to be willing to use his Korean.  The first week of drama, the image always


crying when it comes to school, and when it has to be left behind by Amanda.  But only one week, after that it was very


loved school.  The other with


Bimo, he was so happy when the observation said he could go straight


get into 11th grade.  That means it's just


spent 6 months in 10th grade.  Bimo immediately imagined that when he returned to Jakarta, it meant him


already graduated and holding High School.


            Amanda went back to her old college.  His work this time should be intersecting


with big data.  Data that involves


10 Thousand respondents from 10 cities


largest in Indonesia.  Supervisors


recruit her in this job because Amanda is familiar with statistical data,


and more about the middle class.  Amanda's job this time is to measure the needs of the middle class at 10


big city in Indonesia.  Not much yet


researchers who focus on the middle class in Indonesia, but


the middle class is the economic driver of a region.


            After almost two months, the,


Amanda focused on her main job, and she started getting jobs


side as a tutor.  Then he


tempted by physical work.  Suddenly a friend asked her to be a janitor in the morning


mornings up to 10 a.m. into cleaning power on campus.  After that, he worked as


post-doc student.  A few weeks later, there was a vacancy


the cleaning force is also at night at 6-10 pm, Amanda took again


that opportunity.  Temptation to


raising dollars became Amanda's second issue.  Monday to Friday he was so


busy.  Got to get up at 4:30 in the morning,


after a short prayer, he


preparing all the needs of children. From breakfast to lunch


their noon.  Then go on to become


after ten o'clock, he became a post-doc student, sometimes doing tutors


at that time, in the afternoon, there was only time to prepare dinner, and


other household work.  He too


then work again as a night cleaner.  It's amazingly solid his five-day work schedule


within a week.  So the weekend he really used to


rest and give full attention to their children.


            Bimo was confused with


Amanda the sudden workaholic.  But the mother asked for Bimo's understanding.  He told her that he had to find money


that's a lot to be able to meet their needs and for their savings


after they returned to Jakarta.  Amanda also conveyed the possibility that they should buy a house


for their residence when returning to Jakarta.  Bimo understood, his mother was preparing


herself to the worst possibility that her mother would actually be a person


single old for him and his sister.


            Bimo tried to help his mother


as much as he can.  Actually he is too


want to make money.  But his mother


forbid, because he is more needed to take care of his sister.  Amanda's hope is that Bimo can adapt


with his school well, have good achievements, absorb knowledge in


here as well as possible, until when he graduated later he could go to college in a place that


good in Indonesia.


            Imagery


and Bimo grew up to be a very understanding child.  Every time Citra school comes home


with his neighbors who are also Indonesian families.  He will stay there patiently


Bimo's coming home from school.  After that, they


both will stay at home and carry out activities as usual until


the mother came home.  There is absolutely no


complaints from both when the mother had to go home in the afternoon only for a moment


and have to go back to work at night.  Sometimes, if Amanda is chased by a deadline and has to go to campus during the second weekend


the boy went to college and accompanied Amanda to work.  They're coming, because it takes the atmosphere


be different.  After that they will leave


afternoon walk.  Just playing in the park


or go to city. Although heavy for


all the.  But they live it as if


no load.
