My Beginning and My End

Resigning

The sound of the dawn prayer is heard.

Ani got out of bed and took ablution for dawn prayers.

He saw his father coming out of the room wearing taqwa clothes.

"After leaving, sir, "asked Ani.

"Yes son, let's go first to musolah". The father thrust his hand and Ani kissed his hand.

" Assalamualaikum, "continue father.

" Walaikumsalam, "Ani replied by walking towards the bathroom.

The clock is pointed at 06:10 with a beautiful morning sun.

Ani called the foundation for a late permit.

"Hello mas Bambang I am Bu Ani. I want permission today I have no morning schedule. So I'm late because there's a need".

" Oh yes ma'am will be ready, "answer the voice across.

"Thank you mas bambang, " said Ani.

The phone is closed.

Mother who heard this was curious what needs until Ani permission to go to school.

"Where do you want to be neat in uniform but this is late to enter? " ask mom.

"Oh yes buk, Ani wants to go to javapost. Ani wants to stop being a weekly journalist there. It looks like Ani has to cut back on Ani's work, " Ani explained.

"That's good. It should have been a long time since my mother told you to come out. Because you have too many tasks at school by working in your javapost to be unable to take care of yourself".

Ani heard carefully the words of her mother and she realized all this time she was too mefotsir her body. Although being a journalist is a hobby but he has been in javapost since the age of 25 years until now and maybe this is the right time to stop.

Ani then said goodbye to her mother.

***

Arrive at javapost. Not accidentally Ani met with Mr. Harto in the parking lot.

Ani waited for Harto sir to get out of the car.

"For the sir, "greet Ani to Mr. Harto.

"In the morning, the tumben to this office is still Tuesday. Is your article finished? " ask mr. Harto.

Ani always goes to the office every Thursday or Friday to submit weekly articles published on the Sunday morning finger.

"There's something I want to talk to you about, "Ani replied as she walked behind Mr. Harto to the office.

Pak Harto turned his head back to look at Ani's answer and shook his head as if he couldn't guess what Ani was going to say.

"Well come straight to my room, " said Mr. Harto while pointing to the front.

"All right! Please sit Ani, "pinta pak Harto.

Ani nodded her head and immediately sat down in front of Mr. Harto's seat.

"What do you want to say Ani, until the tumben on Tuesday morning also want to come to the office? " ask Harto casually.

"I want to resign sir! " ani's answer made Pak Harto shocked.

"Can repeat? " said mr. Harto in disbelief.

"I want to resign from javapost sir! " Ani repeated her intention.

"You kidding? " mr. Harto still doesn't believe what he's hearing.

"I'm serious sir. I want to stop being a weekly journalist at javapost".

Ani's resolute answer made Pak Harto think "is Ani angry because of the incident last week when I scolded him. But it's not that common for such a situation".

"It's a matter of last week that you were hurt and had to say this? " ask Pak Harto curious with thoughts.

"No sir. I have absolutely no problem with that, "Ani replied.

"Why did it suddenly stop? " pak Harto wants an explanation.

"There's a personal reason, sir. I had to quit because of my declining health".

Mr. Harto read it and shook his head.

" But this is too sudden Ani. What about this week's article. Even looking for your replacement doesn't exist. Are you seriously ill? " ask mr. Harto.

"I'll be in charge of working on the article this week sir. My last article. Sorry sir for what pain I think is too personal, "Ani replied firmly as usual.

"All right then. If your decision is complete, I agree. But remember yes, you have to make an article for this week while I will also look for your replacement later, " said Mr. Harto while re-inserting the resignation letter in a brown envelope.

"Thank you sir. I apologize if this has been wrong and again thank you for everything, " said Ani while standing thrusting her hand to shake hands.

Mr. Harto smiled and welcomed Ani's handshake and said "whatever your pain I sincerely pray that you will recover and live a long life".

Ani stepped out of Mr. Harto's room.

He went around to the office to say goodbye to his friends. He saw every wall in the office.

All reminiscent of beautiful events, joy in this office.

" I've been working here for 20 years. I don't think time goes so short. It feels like just a few months I'm here, "inner Ani in the heart.

Everyone in the office was also shocked about Ani's resignation.

Ani is a good employee and senior in this office. Even when junior was having trouble Ani was helping sincerely.

This office must also feel lonely without Ani.

***

Ani walked slowly towards the library. He put the bag on his desk.

Take a drink and sit while looking at the quiet activity of the center.

"What should I do after this, "he thought as he imagined the doctor's verdict yesterday.

Ani was still not fully able to accept this state in just a few days.

After a short break after returning home from javapost he continued his activities to teach in class 11 A.

Today the afternoon schedule is clean for Ani she teaches 2 classes at once.

Ani is doing well in school as usual.

Even in his heart he was agitated.

But because of his responsible nature he does not want to look weak in front of many people.

Smiling behind a cry, crying inside a smile.

"Mbak Ani's been on the drug? " erna's voice surprised Ani who focused on reading books in the library.

"I already drank it. Why do you always remind me to take medicine, I'm a kid?" asked Ani who saw her sister was super protective than usual.

"Erna was just worried. Fear because of busyness so forget to take medicine".

Erna understood her feelings that were now easily sensi.

" Where was it? In the room of the teacher is not there, Erna to the library also did not see the bag mbak on the table, "Erna was curious because this morning did not see Ani at all.

"I went to javapost's office, "Ani replied briefly.

"Ooooh, "Erna answered normally because it was also a normal thing.

"I stopped being a weekly journalist at the javapost, "ani continued to make Erna shocked and almost craved the bread she ate.

"Seriously mbak? " ask Erna not to believe.

"Yes, "Ani replied turning her gaze to Erna and continuing to read her book.

Erna who was still amazed to see Ani while chewing and think that this is a good thing, should have done it 10 years ago when mother told her.

"Thank God I finally came to my senses, too, " said Erna as she ran from the library because Erna knew very well her brother would throw something at her.

Ani throws a pen at him and mutters "bad boy basics".

Erna walked a little quickly away from Ani and smiled jail.

They often occasionally do jail things even though their age is now an adult.

It makes the relationship of these brothers remain harmonious in their old age.
