“God willing, oh yes you and baby are in good health?”
“Alhamdulillah, this baby has been quiet the past week”
“How about the kids?”
“Shortly yes?” Rita calls her two sisters
Not long before the two sisters came with the two toddlers

“Papi, when home?” raffa asked in a funny tone
“Let's go son!, you're a good boy right?” daniel asked, Raffa nodded, not how long Ranna snatched Rita's phone from Raffa
“Papi!, Raffa hit sister earlier!” Ranna who spoke fluently complained to her papa
“No!, bad brother!” Raffa replied, they were grabbing each other by cell phones
“Hei!! You guys are just making a fuss! Love the phone to mami!” daniel's Pinta, though,
Raffa snatches the phone from Ranna and gives it to Rita
“Abang, don't play at ya?” reprimanding Rita, Raffa looks at Rita and moves away
“Abang! Listen mommy no?” ask Rita
“Yesss!!” answer Raffa
“Kak Ranna also do not get angry easily! you have to take care of Mami!” rita advises her first child.
“Tapii.mami is bigger than Ranna, why is Ranna taking care of mami?” tannya
“Mami is in her stomach!” said Daniel
“why is it so adek?” ask Ranna again
“Mami and adek ask to be taken care of Ranna can not?” rita asked in a soft voice, she rubbed the head of her first daughter, Ranna nodded
“Smart boy!!” puji Rita's
“Kak Ranna, kiss papi dong!” daniel said, Ranna put her lips closer to Rita's phone and kissed her
“Muachh!!, where's brother?” ask Daniel
“Abang!” call Rita, Raffa comes over and kisses her phone like her sister did
“You good boys!” praise Daniel, his heart is very sad apart from his family
Raffa and Ranna return to the playroom.
“You've eaten say?” ask Rita
“Not yet, here is breakfast at 8, it is still 7” hours
“Oh is still at 7 am, here it is 12 noon”
“You don't get tired? how about D’Ritz?” ask Daniel
“Alhamdulillah, all smoothly. I miss you” said spoiled Rita
“I too!”
“You're not late to eat? oh yes I put a snack on the inside of your suitcase” said Rita
“Snack? What snack?”
“Snack rice, I'm afraid you're late to eat” said Rita, Daniel looking for a snack that Rita meant
“Ah, thank you, my stomach has been rumbling since last” he ate the rice snack with greed
“Nak! Thanks darling!” he said to Rita
“Sama-sama!” rita smiled, Daniel's door bell rang
“Ah no guests, later tonight I call again dear! Love you!” Daniel cut off their conversation
“Love you too!” Rita turned off her phone
“ahh..I am a single parent now!” his weakness. He covered his face with a chair cushion, then he reopened his phone and looked at their photos. He looked at Daniel's picture and his menzoom
“Gue dream can you?” he said, the longer he looked the more his longing.
“Gue is too pure!” he said suddenly, then he hung up his phone, then he opened his laptop.
Rita enrolls in the Open University, which only comes for the exam twice a year. This time he majored in Economics Accountancy. He read an e-book of accounting basics from his college, then took the assignment seriously, his concentration breaking when one of his children came crying to him.
“Mamiii” Raffa cries and hugs her
“Why baby?” rita asked, his attention still to the laptop
“Mami!!” Raffa shouted for attention
“Eh Brother! Why yell? Mami heard you kok” this time Rita closed her laptop
“Mami, sick” brother Raffa stuck Rita's hand to his forehead
“Abang hurts?” Rita held onto her son's forehead, then he got up and took the thermometer from the drawer in his bedroom closet and pointed it at Raffa's forehead
“36.9” Rita swiftly brought her son to her room and she undressed him and her son's clothes, she gave ASI directly to Raffa.
“Drink a lot huh?” he said as he rubbed his son's head, Raffa according to. Not long after Rita felt sweat coming out of her child's body, she measured her child's body temperature again
“36.1 You are not dizzy darling?” rita asked, Raffa shook his head.
“Yuk change clothes and pampers” he put his clothes back on, then brought his son to his room to change clothes, after which he came to the playroom while holding Raffa.
“Suster, Raffa don't play water first huh? it was a bit of a fever. Looks like today's play is done first. Ranna change clothes and eat yes?” tell Rita. Ranna said they left the playroom. The two sisters feed Ranna and Raffa, Rita pumps her ASI and inserts it into a glass bottle.
“Mother her ASI a lot too huh?” said One of the sisters
“Alhamdulillah, I eat a lot of vegetables Katuk” replied Rita
“But now there's a tablet right?” said the other sister
“Yes, but I want a natural. ASI many not only from food but also from the mind” said Rita
“Bapak home when bu?”
“Says two more weeks”
“Kok so long huh?”
“Maybe the preparation stay there, sister can will come with me there?”
“It's definitely moved bu?”
“It looks like yes, the proof is old father there”
A few minutes later the children finished lunch, then took a nap. The sisters also took time for lunch and rest. Rita is back with her college assignments. His concentration was back when his phone rang.
“Halo?”
“Hey, Rita, remember me?” ask someone from across the phone
“Who?”
“Well forgot yes? I'm Sisca, your friend in Auckland first!”
“Ya Ampuunn!! Sisca, how are you?” ask Rita for joy
“Baikk!! You how? where now? I came to your house in Auckland, said you don't live there anymore?”
“Iya, Sis. I now live in Jakarta”
“Jakarta? Where?”
“Jakarta the Indonesia”
“Ohh..so you're back home?”
“Iya right! Have you been back from Holland?”
“New few months”
“When to return to the Netherlands?”
“No going!”
“Lho why? Your mom lives in the Netherlands right?”
“Yes, mama already has a new family, I already have two sisters now”
“Wahh...welcome yes? you are happy dong?”
“No!, they are really annoying. I'm not their baby sitter! I heard my stepfather also objected that I stay with them”
“Why is that? Isn't he good?”
“Maybe because of the economic burden, the company he works for is not as good as it used to be. With him I am a burden. I thought, I'm done college, I'm 20 years old, it's time I got independent”
“Iya right!, then?”
“Yes, I told my mom, I will return to Auckland, I will also use the legacy of my grandfather to start a business in Auckland here”
“Good Sis!, so you stay at your grandfather's house?”
“Hmm..actually grandfather's house has been on sale for a long time, so I bought a smaller house here.”
“Not a lot of your grandfather's effort?”
“Betul!, but presumably mama has trouble managing it, so all sold the results are divided in half by me”
“Ohh so”
“Oh yes, Rit. Are you still in touch with oppa korea?”
“Why?”
“I remember, you often cry if oppa Korea does not call you”
“Hahaha..iya yes? I was a crybaby first”
“So? Are you guys still together?”
“Hmm..actually we were married three years ago”
“Hah? That right?? Why wasn't I invited?”
“Yes, actually her wedding was sudden, so we just celebrated with the close relatives”
“Oo so, it turns out you guys married” Sisca's tone of voice changed
“Why Sis? You don't believe it?”
“Believe me, Just a little surprised, means you were married when you were 17?”
“Iya!” Rita laughed
“Actually no wonder I saw you two, I'm happy Rita. Oh yeah plan to have how many children?”
“Thank you, actually we already have two children a pair of girls and boys, soon there is another one in my stomach”
“So 3 yes? ckckckck.got wonder anyway, I saw Oppa time take your bag in my house, it will not be rejected!”
“Hehehe yes?”
“Oh yes Rita, when are you going to Auckland again? Maybe we can meet?”
“Now, maybe vacation later I will ask my husband for a vacation there”
“Suami kuu!! It is strange to hear it from tomboyish girls like you”, Sisca laughed
“Hahaha.you are not the first person to say so”
“Of course! Do you want to go?” ask Rita
“Yes, I'm glad to hear from you, well Rita, we'll be in touch sometime!”
“Good Sisca!, I will contact you later huh?”
“OK, drug!!!” Sisca hangs up, Rita does the same
“Why do I suddenly want to snack on chocolate cake?” muttered. Rita opened the app and ordered chocolate cake, ice cream and some bread from the bakery around her house. A few minutes later, the bread and cake he ordered came. He ate it voraciously while doing accounting tasks.
It was late afternoon, he had finished his task. He checked his children who had a neat bath and also had lunch. The sisters say goodbye to going home.
“Thank you!” rita said to the two sisters. An ART named Mila helps her watch her two children watching TV, while she takes an afternoon shower.
“Mbak, what's dinner today?” ask Rita
“DI application has not appeared bu?”
“But!”
“Oh there may be constraint”
“Kendala? What obstacles?”
“Barin pak Ridwan has trouble disbursing funds for this home shopping”
“Oh yes? why didn't he say anything to me?” Rita called Ridwan, and asked him to come to his room
“Sore by Rita!”
“Sore mr Ridwan, I heard you have trouble shopping this house?” ask Rita to the point
“Oh it's bu Rita, I'm also confused, usually everything is automatic, but yesterday the bank person did the verification, so I have to clear it”
“Hmm...verification data pack?”
“Iya bu”
“When did you ever tell me that this house already has its own accounts, so I don't have to worry? Is there enough money, sir? Every month my husband also transfers for the purposes of this house for 50 million rupiah”
“Oh so bu?”
“Pak Ridwan don't know?”
“Not ma'am, I just wear-wear-”
“Wah can not be so sir, everything must be clear. Sorry sir is not not in disbelief but income and expenditure should be clear. It is also good for the control” function
“So ya bu Rita?, actually I'm a bit trouble about it”
“If Mr. Ridwan does not mind, you can share his monthly financial statements with me so I can check!”
“Bby bu?” asked Ridwan with a sparkling face
“Sure sir!”
“Alright, can start from last month bu?”
“Sure sir!” rita smiled
“Alright, later I send to tablet mom yes?”
“Good sir!”
“Then I excuse me first”
“Oh yes sir, what dinner is it?”
“As per Rita bu request only!”
“So? Then I want lasagna, French fries, and avocado” juice
“good ma'am, I will convey to the kitchen” section
“Thank you sir!”
“Sama-sama mom!” Ridwan immediately came out of Rita's room
“Pak Ridwan again many family affairs kayaknya” said Mila it opened the conversation
“Family susan? Meanin? Isn't her son born long ago?” ask Rita
“Iya ma'am, he said his eldest son will be married in the near future this”
“Oh yes? nice dong!”
“But bu” suddenly the Mila lowered her voice
“But why?”
“He said, the future son-in-law of Mr. Ridwan is already married”
“Hah? Continues?”
“Pak Ridwan objected in fact, but his daughter is already 2 months pregnant. So inevitably they must be married off” immediately
“What is the age of his daughter how many years?”
“How yes? 22 Years like?”
“Kok mbak know?”
“I am a neighbor with Mr. Ridwan.”
“Pak Ridwan instead of home contract?” ask Rita
“So long ago he had his own house bu, can help home credit from Mr. Darmawan, just like me. Our house is tethered, make sure the economically” house
“My grandfather gives home credit?”
“Iya, mom. Home loans are soft, pay is very cheap. This is for us employees who have worked for him more than 8 years.”
“The location is far away?”
“Near here!, the land used to belong to Pertamina. Because there are often fires so Pertamina sells it and then moves to another place well the land was purchased by Mr. Darmawan for employee housing”
“Pertamina? Oh which is 2 km from here?”
“Betul bu!”
“How many homes are there?”
“There are already many bu, maybe dozens because it has been mixed with the residents of kuler”
“Kok can grandfather buy land from Pertamina?”
“A few years ago there was a big fire he said Pertamina did not pay attention to safety. The death toll of his soul is quite a lot of bu, Pertamina and local residents had insisted on each other who stayed or who left.”
“Then?”
“Then Mr. Darmawan bought land in a place that is quite safe and quiet from the population of bu housing, so the term is trading gitu.”
“Oh so, great ya grandpa” Rita nodded in amazement
“Iya ma'am, we are all very helped by Mr. Darmawan's helping hand, May he and his descendants be healthy always and the recovery more smoothly” said Mila
“Aamiin, uh mbak working hours until when?” ask Rita suddenly
“I can shift in the afternoon today, so it will be finished by 10pm later”
“Oh so, thank God, can help me here yes to take care of the children!”
“Sure ma'am, earlier Mr. Ridwan also advised so. Said Mr. Daniel was delayed home, ma'am?”
“Iya, maybe 2 more weeks just go home”
“Once also yes bu?”
“Iya, I was also surprised, this morning my husband just said”
“But thank God the children are not fussy ya bu”, said Mila, while watching the two toddlers who are serious watching TV
“Iya. But here it's crowded, there's mbak, there's Mr. Ridwan, so if there's anything I can ask for help. If in Switzerland, surely I will have trouble”
“Iya anyway ma'am, but if too long away from the husband is also not good ma'am. He's good at his job, we're here taking care of the kids, it's stress!”
“Mbak married how long?”
“I've been married 15 years, my son is the biggest now High School while the smallest Junior High School 3, both are only 1 year adrift. My age 24 years old married”
“Oh yes? at that time already working with my grandfather?”
“Not yet, I worked with Mr. Darmawan it when I was 29 years old. Husband becomes a laborer in Kalimantan and does not return home. He sent money to me only 3 months once”
“Three months once? How can? How about everyday?” ask Rita
“I make a stall in front of my fathers house. Sales of ciki, ice cut, seblak, fried noodles, good enough to connect life”
“Some of his children are already there?”
“Already mom, I was pregnant 3 months after marriage, a year later the adek appeared”
“Kok mbak want LDR-an?”
“Before marriage my husband worked in an electronics factory bu, uh lapse of three years since married the factory does not produce anymore then bankrupt.

“Terus?”
“Ya leave him”
“Mbak don't want to come?”
“Before he showed the situation of living there all the difficult especially with two toddlers. So we think yes we are LDR-an”
“Keep, my husband also comes home occasionally?”
“Iya ma'am, her body is thin black skin, so sorry for me. My heartache if I have to send him back to Kalimantan”
“Certain bu?” Rita is increasingly interested in her ART story
“Because forced, finally he returned to Kalimantan, there were 3 years no news from him”
“Three years no news? How do you dong with kids?”
“I was going to Kalimantan, but my parents objected. They told me to go to the religious court to divorce my husband, because he had gone 3 years without news and did not give a living born and inward”
“Waduh weight huh mbak? Continue to follow the advice of parents mbak?”
“Iya, I filed for divorce, the PA person announced over the radio, he said anyway to get word from my husband”
“Then? Mba's husband meet?”
“Yes, he's finally back here. He doesn't want to divorce me”
“Where has he been for 3 years disappeared?”
“He was fired from his job, the money he used to find a job there and find a job. Because he is over 35 years old, it is difficult to find work. Want to come here there is no fare especially to go home”
“So he can know about divorce lawsuit how?”
“Alhamdulillah, the news from the PA reached the ears of his friend, and his friend conveyed to my husband”
“Suami mbak get back here how?”
“I am an ogkosi mbak, thank God I have got a job here. Mr. Darmawan is really Darmawan, he is looking for workers who really need a job, like me who is a single parent. His salary is also good, I am very grateful”
“Alhamdulillah,.now husband how?”
“Now he I am capitalizing on the sale of fried rice.”
“Mbak still accepts him? Though he's been gone three years”
“Iya mbak, but I thought, he left because he worked for us. Besides that he is also loyal mbak, I heard from his friends he is not a fad of playing women. So I want to take it”
“Oh so, yes, if the man is loyal and does not play the woman is safer”
“Iya mbak, if you play women, let alone PSK, have brought disease, not just for him for me also certainly”
“Mbak sure my husband doesn't play PSK? That's 3 years old!”
“Yakin ma'am!, because before I cancel the lawsuit, I ask to check to RS. So he can check STD”
“Wah mbak great can know about sexually transmitted diseases”
“Iya mbak, if we work in Pak Darmawan, we do not just work, we are also given general knowledge, even we are trained in English also”
“Oh yes?”
“Iya, ibbak. That is why we who have seniors often remind our juniors, do not do much deh work in Mr. Darmawan, because here is very good!”
