That morning Rosa was tidy with a blue shirt and black trousers. Armed with the blessing of his parents and the steadiness of his heart, he went to the local Disnaker to register to become a TKI.
Apparently, it is not as easy as he imagined to realize his desire. There are many obstacles that he has to face. One of them is not enough age.
But Rosa's desire can no longer be contained. So that the officer was forced to change some of his data, in order to facilitate his path to TKI.
A series of Rosa stages are performed such as medical check-ups, placement agreements, passport management, insurance, employment agreements and visa arrangements, which last for several days.
After that, he just waited for the time of preparation and the departure schedule.
During her last time at home, Rosa used her best to devote the love she had to Zaidan. Every night he was awake, he rubbed Zaidan's face gently.
"Patience a little, baby. Mama's sure, we can get through all this well. Mama left not to leave you, but to provide for your needs. No one wants to accept a working mom. We can't possibly depend on grandma, fuck her. It's time for mama to help grandma." whispered Rosa gently in the ears of her son who was sound asleep.
Rosa shed tears, and the test was not over. He hurried, wiping his tears. He didn't want his tears to make him weaker.
Rosa was home for a week. And now it was time for him to go to the place of supply.
"Mom, Rosa tipped Zaidan ya." said Rosa to her mother who was holding Zaidan.
"Ros, are you sure you'll leave mom and Zaidan alone?" his mother said softly, for the umpteenth time.
"Mom, Rosa is also doing all this for us to have a better future. Please be strong, for our sake. Yea?" he convinced his mother.
"Okay son, I pray that you may have a good master, wherever you are always protected by God."
"Aamiin, thank you mom. Rosa is now saying yes. Assalamu'alaikum." said Rosa softly but looking strong, she kissed the back of her mother's hand with reverence, then hugged her tightly.
"Wa'alaikumussalam." replied his mother while shedding tears, but hurriedly he removed her.
If Rosa alone can look strong and confident, then she as her mother, why can't she?
Rosa also repeatedly rained down on Zaidan with a kiss.
"Mama go first baby, don't be naughty at home, obey the grandmother" Rosa told Zaidan. Although the baby could not answer, he smiled and continued to play his hands, making Rosa more anxious, and of course would make him miss his little angel.
"Mommy will surely miss you dear." he added again while ruffling his son's head.
Before long, the pickup car that will deliver Rosa to the supply place came. Rosa looked at her mother and son, left the two, and got into the car.
Rosa smiled kindly at her new friend who was already sitting in the car. They also returned Rosa's smile with a smile as well.
Along the way, Rosa exchanges stories with her comrades in arms. Those who are on average older than Rosa, give a lot of advice to Rosa as a new TKI.
It took about 8 hours to make Rosa exhausted, finally she fell asleep in the car, as well as other friends.
Finally the car arrived in the city of Jakarta, and soon they will arrive at the training ground. Rosa was amazed to see the beauty of Jakarta. The towering building. And then a very crowded vehicle.
They are welcomed by the officers, then allowed to occupy the rooms that have been prepared.
After arranging the goods in the room, they were called to regroup.
"Come on Ros." take one of her friends who's rooming with Rosa.
"Yes ma'am, wait a minute." replied Rosa who had not finished arranging the goods.
All TKI gathered together into one in the hall room to get the next instruction from the teacher.
They were given the opportunity to introduce themselves. One by one they came forward and introduced themselves.
They chuckle at their friends who introduce themselves to a language they think is unique.
Finally, it was Rosa's turn to introduce herself. They looked at Rosa like they were staring at their own child, because it was Rosa who was the smallest of their age. However, even though he was a child, he looked very strong and intelligent. In fact, he quite mastered the Arabic he learned yesterday.
They gave Rosa a tremendous applause, after she finished introducing herself.
Without feeling 2 weeks already Rosa and her friends are doing debriefing, and now they are preparing to make a flight to Saudi Arabia.
"O Allah, make it easy for me." murmured Rosa before leaving her bed. Rushing he followed his friends by carrying 2 bags of his.
"Mother remind you again, work earnestly. We are far away to other countries to seek halal sustenance, not to dirty our hands with bad deeds. If we can work as well as possible, surely our employer will also do good to us." message the coach.
After that they left the hall room, headed for a car that was ready to take them to the airport.
There was a slight nervous feeling when Rosa was about to board the plane for the first time. But back again he suggested himself so as not to panic.
"Bismillah." murmured Rosa, then confidently stepped on the plane's landing.
Now he was sitting by the window, and his gaze was staring at the scene outside.
Once all was ready, the plane began to move slowly around, then quickly shot flying high in space.
'Until I meet Zaidan, mother, Lidya, and all the good people who have ever been present in my life.' Rosa's inner self and unknowingly she shed tears, which she instantly wiped away.
Rosa continued to watch the situation below through the window. This was his first experience boarding a plane, and his goal was to go to Saudi Arabia for a living.
He hopes that someday, if to Saudi Arabia the goal is to perform Hajj or Umrah.
"Ros, why have you been quiet since?" ask the friend sitting next to her, so that breaks Rosa's daydream.
"Eh, I just want to see the view out there ma'am. It was beautiful, if you look from above. Like a miniature house, funny." kekeh Rosa dispel the anxiety of his heart.
His friend chuckled at Rosa's reply. Now the two are talking. Again Rosa got additional knowledge from a friend who was the same age as her mother.
