Me, You And Mother-in-Law

Challenges

Several weeks had passed since the time Ratna's mother gave Riri spiritual enlightenment, and Riri had truly felt guilty as a mother, he almost forgot his son because of his extreme sadness in Anton's attitude.

Riri's work is increasingly piled up, Riri's responsibilities are increasing, various ways Riri strives to be able to arrive home early so that he can play briefly with Reza, but it's only wishful thinking, every Riri comes home sometimes Reza has fallen asleep and Anton who is currently getting an increase in office that requires him to travel around Bali, sometimes has to give up not when Riri has to go home late, too late, it must be admitted that Anton can easily be absent from work because there is never an attendance check in writing just using the application form attendance alone is enough.

"i can't keep going, if you can't go home on time how Reza, who's going to pick him up in daycare" anton asked when Riri finished cleaning himself and was just about to eat the ready-to-eat food he had bought on the street

"yes continue how, if my position is not the same client I might be able to arrange always on time to pick up Reza without disturbing your work" tanya Riri tries to control her emotions by enjoying her dinner which is already very late.

"you know for yourself that I'm not in the store anymore, I'm traveling all of a sudden when you want to go to the street where you call to pick up his son, how I want to focus" said Anton annoyed.

Actually according to Riri, Anton's job is actually easy as long as the plan is well, Anton currently serves as a marketing manager at his store, and he has several people.

If Anton positions himself correctly then the problem of Reza is not something big, different story with the work of Riri who became the third party in the operation of shopping centers, hotels, supermarkets, and so on, where when there is a problem point then Riri must take care of by meeting the Manager of the building, sometimes must meet directly with the owner, client context / the customers associated with Riri's work were higher compared to the jobs Anton was engaged in.

"i know your work has increased now, but because of that increase you have to be able to manage the team under you" Riri told Anton.

"my customer is no one wants to be the same as the kids, it wants the same as me" Anton said in a slightly raised voice.

"yes you can explain, later the goods offered are brought with you, if there are new obstacles I meet, can it be like that?!" sahut Riri is still in the method of not accepting if the storm continues like this.

"yes try if you are so, your customers do not want to be the same as others how??!!" anton's emotions began to rise.

Riri took a deep breath, she recalled the message from Ratna's mother to be able to control herself.

"okay..now than we fuss aja ga use, you want how the future??" ask Anton.

"yes I want me to be at home just take care of the same child at home" said Anton.

surely Riri was so surprised by Anton's words, how with confidence Anton explained that he wanted Riri not to have to work anymore, he said, and according to Riri Anton deliberately asked it as a challenge for Riri.

"are you sure you can make a living and handle household needs??" ask Anton

"believe me.why should not be sure, as long as not to be confused with your family alone" said Anton.

"love me time, many things are sacrificed if I stop working" /different if you who stop/inner Riri asserted.

"whatever" Anton replied and left Riri still unfinished with his meal menu.

"hmm.iya mba, ga what, chances are I will also resign" replied Riri lethargicly.

"what's wrong??" Lila actually already knew the problem of his boss and he was very sad if Riri had to give up and stop working.

"whether I am also confused, maybe today I let you go home early yes, if anyone is looking to schedule a meeting tomorrow yes mba" Riri also moved from his seat, he planned to come back to Ms. Ratna to exchange ideas.

to be honest Riri is very fond of having to let go of what he already has, a good career, many connections, enough facilities, enough, not even a few Riri can generate income other than his salary from a project he handled, the ease of financially making Riri into doubt about what he had to do, he said, not to mention if he stopped working how with his family in Jakarta, who will send money routine like today, Riri never even counted when it concerns his family, whatever is asked is always trying to fulfill Riri, because Riri's principle, he works is his right to give to anyone he wants, he wants, as long as she can still help support her small family life with her husband and children.

"assalamualaikum, son of Riri.." Bu Ratna's soft voice broke Riri's daydream.

"ah mother, wa'alaikumsalam, am I disturbing?" asked Riri who was still standing at the door of Bu Ratna's house.

"come in son" smiled Ms. Ratna as she invited Riri to enter the house.

"sit down" continued Ms. Ratna again after Riri was inside the house.

"thank you ma'am, did you have any studies today" Riri asked before making her point at the middle-aged woman's place.

"it was there, but it was canceled because the invite was affected by the disaster" Bu Ratna explained to Riri.

"ooh.sorry ma'am" said Riri regretted.

"why apologize, after all the disaster from the invitee was not caused by son Riri" Bu Ratna smiled at Riri who always felt himself guilty when finding things beyond his expectations.

"eeh.heheheh yes." said Riri felt funny also with his attitude.

"so...what brings Riri son to come here, usually Riri chat or call mom first if you want to come here??" Ms. Ratna deliberately brought her seat closer to Riri.

"iya Bu" with a face down lethargic, Riri felt no more passion to live his days.

"what makes you restless" asked Ms. Ratna to Riri who started with a deep breath from Riri and finally flowed a riri story about her heart, Ms. Ratna, as usual, listened to complaints from women who according to Bu Ratna were actually strong, but lost on the foundation of faith so that sometimes she was swayed by her own problems.
