It does not feel like I have been working at Mr. Imron's house for almost 2 months and today is my last day working there because Mr. Imron's house is done in the build.
"This is Mr. Anto's salary" Imron said as he thrust a white envelope into my hand. I then accepted it.
"Alhamdulillah. Thank you sir, may this money be a blessing."
"Amin" said Mr. Imron. Later if I have another job, I will call back Mr. Anto, " promised Mr. Imron.
"Well, thank you sir, I'll wait" I said.
I gave Imron's contact number. After giving me my contact number, I immediately went home.
Before going home, I stopped by the stall to buy rice, instant noodles and eggs to stock up on the boarding house. Arriving at the boarding house, I saw that my two children were studying.
I then opened the envelope given by Mr. Imron. I was very surprised that the amount exceeded my salary for 1 month. Thank God I already have a little money for me to save. Tomorrow, I'm looking for a new job.
The next day before looking for a job I went to the bank to open a savings account. While waiting in line I accidentally saw a familiar figure in my eyes.
Yes, she was the first wife of Lisa's husband. The woman just lowered her head while twisting her fingers. I thought I wanted to say hello to him but I expressed my intention.
Soon the bank clerk called his name, which I knew was his name, Meli. Meli started to transact with bank officers. Shortly after, he left the bank.
After he left the bank, it was my name that was called. After I finished making the savings book I immediately went out of the bank.
I took my bike to the back of the bank, an area I'd never been to. Hopefully there I can find a job if I do not get a job hopefully I can get an order for the workshop.
But just as I was leaving the bank for a few minutes, I suddenly heard the voice of a woman screaming. I swung my bike towards the source of the sound. From far away I saw a woman pulling a bag with a man.
I paddled my bike even harder. After getting near them I put my bike carelessly and immediately helped the woman. Luckily I learned to practice silat when I was a kid. After putting up a fight, finally the man who intended to take the woman's bag can I beat. The man immediately took a thousand footstep.
I then looked towards the woman. How surprised I turned out to be that woman was Meli. I approached her and handed her her bag.
"Thank you" he said softly.
"Together," I said. "I'm sorry, if I may know where I'm going?" ask me politely.
"I want to go to my mother's house" she replied.
"Is mom's house still far away?" my many.
"Hhm, my mother's house is not too far from here, maybe only 10 minutes on foot" he replied.
"Well, if you want, I'll take you to your mother's house" I bargained.
"thank you. But I don't want to be troublesome," he declined subtly.
"Oh, no trouble. I want to go there too" I said.
"Hmmm. All right then," he replied softly.
"Please walk first let me in the back," said I who was given a nod by Meli.
We walked without anyone talking. I was about to say something but hesitated to see it which was like walking while daydreaming.
Soon he stopped in front of the fence of a simple house. Then he looked towards me.
"Hmm, thanks. I have reached my mother's house" he said, clutching his hands in front of his chest.
"Well, then excuse me" I said, then got on the bike and passed from there.
I started looking for a house that was being built. Until noon I still did not get a job or order. Finally I stopped by the mosque for prayer. After finishing the prayer, I ate on the terrace of the mosque with the provisions that I had brought from the boarding house, I just happened to fry an omelet and tempe with vegetable oseng kale. It was delicious, I ate it with lava.
After I finished eating, I paddled my bike back to the back of the mosque. Until the dawn of Ashar I still have not received orders for a workshop or a new job.
I then searched the mosque for Ashar prayers. After the Ashar prayer I decided to go home to the boarding house because the distance from my place to the boarding house is now quite far, taking approximately 1 hour drive by riding a bicycle.
Arriving at the boarding house, the new clock shows at four in the afternoon. My two kids aren't at the boarding house like they're still at his grandmother's. I then went to take a shower after I finished the bath, I picked up my two children at my mother's house.

In the afternoon, I accidentally stopped by Budi's house. I haven't seen him in a long time. How is he doing now.
I got to his house he hasn't come home yet because the new clock shows at five in the afternoon. Maybe he's still on his way home.
Shortly after, the Budi came. From far away he smiled at me.
"To, it's been a while?" ask when he is near me.
"Not too long, kok. How are you doing?" my many.
"Alhamdulillah, my good news. How tidings? How new is nongol?"
"Thank God I am healthy too. I've been busy lately."
"Oh yes, have you got a job yet? If not, come to the store."
I shook my head quickly, "No, Bud. I'm just looking for another job" I refused.
"Hhmm, oh yeah sorry,To. I have something to ask."
"Just don't have to apologize" I said.
"Hehee. Two days ago I went with the boss to the central area. When we were just about to get in the car, suddenly the boss whispered. Bud, that's the one who was noisy with Anto back then, right? Said the boss while telling me to look towards the east. I turned around and I saw Lisa walking with the guy. And sorry yes, To. I saw Lisa's belly was a little distended, " explained Budi.
I just kept quiet hearing Budi's story.
"Then I said to the boss 'He's the boss, that's the one who had a storm with Anto a few months ago'. Then it's not Anto's wife, yeah. Ask boss. I replied that you and Lisa are divorced and the man you are fussing with is Lisa's affair. The boss looks surprised. You must have lied to Bud. Ask boss. Why am I lying, Bos. That guy was deliberately looking for Anto. I said."
"You know what the boss's reaction was? The boss is very sorry to have been angry and wronged you. I'm guilty of Anto. Boss. Boss' face looks sad, you know."
Hhh, I took a heavy breath, "Hhmm, so Lisa is pregnant."
"So, really, I thought Lisa was pregnant? Your son, Too?" ask Budi in shock.
"Huuss, not you!"
"So you mean?"
"Lisa was married to that person one month ago."
"Oh Allah,To. You are patient. But really, really pregnant she's only one month."
"I'm okay, Bud. Even me, Andre and Alya came to their wedding."
"What,To?" Be more surprised.
"Yes, why? I don't feel the same Lisa anymore. I just feel sorry for my two kids."
"Hhhh, I hope Andre and Alya are patient, yes" said Budi Lirih.
"They're strong kids, Bud!"
They must be strong. My inner.
