LOVE SONGS OF LOLOBATA

Hidadari Halmahera

Seeing Jim's desperate expression, I can't expect much CSR funding from this company. Bray himself is in trouble because his decision does not agree with all shareholders and until now has not been found out what the end of the story will be like. I don't understand why Jim's a man is more sentimental than I am. Maybe the pressure he felt was much heavier or I was used to living the simplicity of a life full of stress and uncertainty.

The next day after managing the aviary and livestock, I left for the foundation office which was actually still in the development stage. The development progress was just completed 85%. Do not imagine the office is large and luxurious facilities like the office of PT XY. The office in question is a 150 m2 building whose foundation is made of stone and the bottom wall as high as a meter is a brick wall without plaster. The upper wall is made of mahogany. While the roof is made of holow iron frame covered with woven coconut leaves and dialasi with blue tarpaulin. Indeed, I asked for an office that simple so that the budget is more efficient.

Some areas of the office will be a place to live for a couple of veterinarians who are also bird lovers. The husband happened to get a duty of service in the animal health center (puskeswan) sub-district. While the wife will be a veterinarian in Bidadari Halmahera's foundation.

"Hello, doctor Fahira. I'm Fifa."

"Hello too, ma'am uh mbak uh brother. I was confused so call him what would be good. Fifa's mom was so young." Doctor Fariha was a little careless and awkward. Confused what to call me. Not expecting that the leader of the foundation that will be the place to work is just a smelly child.

"Call Fifa, Doc."

"But ..."

"There's no hierarchy, Doc. Our status is the same. Even Fifa has to learn a lot from doctors who are certainly more senior, smart and experienced."

Doctor Fahira smiled sweetly despite still looking residual fatigue on his face. The long journey to follow the husband who served in the interior must be very heavy.

"Doctor Hans has left for work?"

"Since this morning. Today maybe he will go home for half a day because it is still in the first day introductory stage."

"How does it travel from Semarang to here? Tired?"

"Lumayan."

"I'm sorry, Doc. The house is simple and still in the finishing stages."

"No what. It is also comfortable to live in. The important thing is that the lighting and water are ready."

I saw the atmosphere around the house that was side by side with the foundation office. Compared to the houses in Java I've seen on TV, this house looks less decent. Especially for the residence of highly educated people like them. I feel a little guilty about adjusting the initial design to the condition of the houses around the majority of which are made of wood. I mean that time was so natural and no different from the houses of the people in our region.

"Houses in Java must be good. Sorry if the condition of the house is below expectations. Hopefully the doctor will stay here."

The young veterinarian smiled, "What makes you feel at home is not how the house is, Fifa. But the mood and the environment are comfortable." he replied wisely.

I am a little relieved to hear the answer although not entirely sure Java people who are accustomed to living with complete facilities will feel at home living on the edge of the forest far from the world's eyes. Especially without relatives.

"May the doctor be at ease here." I hope sincere. I tried to shake off my own body with a smile.

Doctor Fahira assures.

"Oh yes, the birds may have just arrived the day after tomorrow along with our driver and household assistants because they departed by sea from the port of Tanjung Mas. Tomorrow we'll pick them up in Sofifi."

Hm, this couple turned out to have a driver and household assistant? The burden of the foundation is also on hiring professionals from Java. Apparently he brought with him 2 workers who helped his family. It seems difficult to expect them to work pro bono if, for example, later the conditions of receiving foundation funds are worse than the initial budget plan. Duh, how is it? Not stepped has been made dizzy with funding.

I nodded when I did not interfere with the pick-up. Never mind picking up, until now I have never seen how the airport looks like. I only ever heard his name. Village child like me the furthest I just go to the sub-district city only.

It seems that Hisham used PT XY's office car to facilitate the arrival of the couple. I was thinking of looking for volunteers from here just so that the cost of mobilization is cheap. No need for a veterinarian. But Bray insisted on accepting Fahira's doctor's proposal, considering that their family had experience breeding crooked beaks and her husband, who had the same profession. Plus it just so happened that the husband was placed as a veterinarian at our regional animal health center. I have no reason to refuse that consideration because Fahira's doctor has agreed to the budgeted salary. Beyond that, I didn't think they'd bring along their domestic assistant, driver and private car. I just got the information today.

I remember very well when Jim handed me the draft of Fahira's doctor's contract of employment. The amount of salary is in accordance with the budget with a trial period of 6 months of work. I think because according to our commitment of cooperation, PT XY will fund all the operating costs of the first year foundation. At that time, I did not expect that there would be internal corporate conflicts that would affect the issue of foundation funding. Now that makes me anxious. While Bray who sparked the idea and planned all this was drowned with his personal problems with the witch. Do not now he is engrossed in love with his fiancee.

Hufh. I exhaled a breath that blocked my chest while closing my eyes for a moment. Of course I can't show my anxiety in front of Fahira's doctor.

Patience, Fifa. Just go the best you can. Hempas all your bad thoughts. Don't be afraid to go as long as what you do is good.

I kept on motivating myself and praying in my heart.

"I started working 3 more days huh, Fifa. It takes time to tidy things up and familiarize my little whiz with the situation here."

"Casual, Doc. Birds in the aviary are still very few in number and healthy. Besides, there is already a Koli sir who takes care of the aviary everyday. The plan later friends from the BKSDA will come leave 2 pairs of cassowaries from the forest police confiscation."

"He's healthy?"

"It's not stressful, but he says it's physically normal and there's no wound."

"Thank God."

Seeing her fussy toddler, I decided to leave Farhana's doctor. He still needs adjustments. I stopped asking him for a discussion about short-term work plans. Next I again pedaled the bike to the back of the office to the giant aviary measuring 30 x 30 x 5 meters. There are already several iron cages for captive breeding and sick bird care in the aviary. There is also a stage for bird watching.

"What about today, Mr. Koli?" I asked the brown man who was recruited to be the aviary guard. He was planting some shrubs around a pond that contained catfish and tilapia.

"Good, Fifa. Look at the wake-wakes you just brought have alight on the mango tree."

I looked in the direction shown by Mr. Poli. I saw the male halmahera angel chirping with a long but hoarse voice, "krakka kak kaaak," It seemed that he was still adjusting to the giant aviary in which there were more tall trees. The atmosphere is not much different from its habitat in the Lolobata forest. There are tall trees that have been planted for years such as ulin, sengon, resin and walnut. There are freshly planted fruit trees as a complement such as mango, klengkeng, banana and papaya trees. Forest berries, weeds and shrubs that are under it are allowed to grow just like that. Some types of insects are deliberately released to breed in the aviary. In addition to taking care of the aviary, Pak Koli is also in charge of raising larvae and caterpillars for food sources of several types of birds.

While the female halmahera angel hairy brown apricot. His appearance is very simple. The bird was in the bushes pecking at insects. Males and females are active on their own.

My gaze turned to the male halmahera angel who was destined to have beautiful enchanting fur. Moreover, this bird has a pair of long white feathers on the wings which when moved up and down adds to the charm and uniqueness of this bird. I don't know why Bray's shadow crossed my head. The straight-haired man had an appearance and a smile that was always stunning like a male halmahera angel.

"Kraaakkkk kaakkk."

The angel halmahera arrogantly sings to make the whole world captivated by his charm. Just like Bray when he talks. Everyone's attention was on him. The content of the conversation sounded sweet and offered hope. Unknowingly the interlocutor was stunned and finally regretted because he felt used. At least that's how I feel now. Alone bear the burden of taking care of the newly formed foundation like a baby left by its mother. Though Bray the originator of the idea that will receive direct benefits of the existence of this program.

What is he doing now? Why don't you ever call me to ask if I'm okay? Didn't he promise to come to hold a little celebration after this aviary and office woke up? Where is he? Where is the responsibility?

It turns out that so easily the promise of oblivion is as easy as the male halmahera angel turned a deaf heart after finishing mixing love with a female trapped charm. That is the logic of the world. Creatures that look attractive are often not the type of loyal creatures. The only attractive and faithful man until the end of life is only baba. Nothing but baba.

Baba ... Fifa kangen
