Bad News

These few days James passed by with joy. He felt his life slowly getting back on track, in the direction before the camping incident.

This Sunday, for example. After returning to church and having lunch together, the Wijaya family returned home to rest. In the afternoon at about four in the afternoon, James took Celine to the beach on a motorcycle. Celine all paid a farewell to Papa Heru and Mama Ratna, because the plan after that he will be immediately delivered James to the airport.

She is grateful to have Celine as her lover. Despite being a director of a large company, Celine is not shy to piggyback with him on the bike.

Celine is also not a spoiled or self-priced woman who only deigns to be invited on dates in elite places. Like this afternoon, even though their simple date is just enjoying ice cream while sitting on the bike and looking at the sea water, Celine looks relaxed and enjoy the moment.

Not unwilling to spoil Celine by giving better things, the problem is that James's pockets have been thinned due to the preparation of an impromptu marriage. Although Cindy has said that all wedding preparations will be borne by the bride, her pride as a man does not allow it. The minimum for a pair of wedding clothes and wedding rings, should he be the responsibility. And it's not cheap stuff.

Dusk arrives and the sky begins to turn orange, James invites Celine to leave the beach before dark. They then cut the road back to the airport.

After Celine booked the ticket, they looked for a place to enjoy dinner before Celine left. As soon as Celine's plane took off, James returned home. Later that night, Celine calls that she has arrived home safely.

Everything was going on as usual, unlike the last two weeks that James had been through with great despair. He also felt the news from the school would arrive in the near future. Mr. Roy and Ms. Lani will definitely tell the school that he is proven innocent. Thus, he should be allowed to return to teaching.

On Monday, James was waiting for good news from the school. But because the news awaited never arrived, James could not do anything. He could only enjoy his time at home.

Maybe only today, Mr. Roy and Ms. Lani reported the latest developments on the school side. After all, reports must take time to process to the superior, right? So, be patient James .. he said encouraging himself.

When Wednesday came, James' anxiety began to rise. But he still tries to think positively. Maybe tomorrow .. he said entertain himself.

Until finally the awaited news came along with Priscillia's visit to her home on Thursday afternoon. Priscillia comes only with Rebecca, as Sharon is still in college.

But unfortunately, it is not the news that James expected to deliver, but vice versa. James was officially dismissed from his job.

"Sorry, Mr .... I have also defended the Father in front of my parents, if the Father has been proven innocent. But apparently the rumors about the Father have grown rapidly in school. And as long as you are disabled, the situation at school has started to be conducive. Therefore the school does not want to risk doing something that can shake the school atmosphere again, " explained Priscillia with a look of regret.

"This is all we can give as a form of our apology. Inside was a Certificate of Work Experience and a little bit of money, " Priscillia said as she handed him an envelope.

James was silent at the envelope being pushed out. Tongue's cow. He can't say anything nor can he blame anyone.

Priscillia did not lie when she said she had defended him in front of her parents. He knows what the character of the girl is. If it was Priscillia herself who intervened to deliver this envelope to him, it must be because this girl felt guilty towards him.

Mama Ratna who had listened to this bad news, could only sigh while continuing to pay attention to James' expression. He knew his son must have been hit because this job was not something that James could easily get.

"Do you want to turn the steering wheel into a company employee? If you want, I'll try to ask my father, "suggest Rebecca tried to provide a solution.

James smiled bitterly at the attention of this former student. "Thank you for the offer. But there's no need. I still love my calling as a teacher. I'll try to apply for a job at another school" he said.

Rebecca and Priscillia could only look at each other at James' reply. This was all they could offer, as the holder of power and decision was still in the hands of their parents.

"Yes already .... If there is anything or need help, please let me know, Mr .... Times we can help .." said Priscillia.

"Yes. Thank you .." James replied with a smile.

Afterwards, Priscillia and Rebecca went home. James escorted them to the front fence. As Rebecca's car sped up and disappeared from his sight, James let out a long sigh. His career must start over.

Hi ... Hi... readers - by thank .... Thanks for the support that always encourages the author well .... 😄🙏

Dion: Hello readers ! We meet again in the Q and A .... In this episode, we have a special guest star who will answer the reader's questions. Who is the guy?? Let's welcome ... Rattnnaaaa Mamaaaa!!!!

Mama Ratna : Hello readers all ....

Dion: Welcome, Aunt .... By the way, Auntie knows me, right?

Mom Ratna : Know. We haven't met, but James told me about you. You're Celine's sister, right? There are also similar Celine.

Dion: If Celine is beautiful, then according to Aunty, am I handsome? 🤭🤭🤭

Mom Ratna : Yes. You're handsome. Exact artist 😊

Dion: Thanks for the compliment, Auntie .... 🥰😁🙏

Mama Ratna : The Same .... 😊😊

Dion: All right, we go straight to the question well .... The question comes from the BY reader.

It sounds like this: I am a mother. Once reading this story to the part of parents James insulted can not educate children, I don't love what it feels like. I deeply understand the feelings of Papa Heru who can only look down and hold back the anger. Especially when finally the facts prove that Cindy is guilty. I want to say to Mrs Prawira, "Weee .... Sape tuh that can not educate children?!" The question is, how can Mama Ratna be so patient?

Dion : Ah .... That's right, Aunt .... I want to taste bales myself. Feel the mouth of Mrs Prawira want no chilli'in, or inserted with a clamp 😤😤😤

Mama Ratna: Actually, it's the same with us, Jeng .... 🤭🤭😆😆 Anger is definitely there and it feels like we are tempted to retaliate. But I would rather be grateful for God's intervention. Without my reply, God Himself has defended and exalted our family, right? So, I better go down. It may also be true, he said, I still have many shortcomings as a parent. Didn't they?

Dion: Speechless. Give applause to Mama Ratna, guys .... 👏👏👏👏

Mama Ratna : Thanks .... 🙏🙏😊

Dion: So a lesson for us today well, guys .... Just do our part and always try to give the best (meaning: just do our part and always try to give your best). Do not think the words of people and it is better to have a humble attitude. Because God has the power to exalt and demean people. Isn't that right, Auntie? If my conclusion is wrong, please correct it ....

Mom Ratna: Oh, no. It's right .... You're smart .... 😊👏👏👍

Dione : Oh .... If pinter mah ... is clear, Tanteee .... 😎😎

Mama Ratna: What's Hayoo? Said he wanted to learn humbly 😊🤭

Dion : 😅😅 Khilaf, Aunt .... 🙈

Mom Ratna : Gapapa. Such a thing must be trained. Stay the spirit well .... So that we all continue to learn to be better human beings .... 😊

Dion : Siyaapp .... Well then, get here first the Q and A forum episode this time, guys .... We will see you again in the next episode. Stay tuned for questions and comments .... Bye bye! 👋
