Simpana
Chapter 6
Lina had been sitting together with Rian who took the initiative to invite her to eat together and was ready to go to work. They choose to enjoy rice pecel food at stalls on the side of the road as Lina wishes.
Lina prefers to focus on the menus presented in the side dish display room rather than listening to the contents of her boyfriend's heart. Lina eagerly ate food that aroma should not doubt its delicacy. With enthusiasm he added some corn, omelet to meat satay in his food container.
Since weeks ago, their relationship showed unpreparedness in fantasizing about mission differences in the way of life. Lina prefers to be quiet when Rian has told her about her life problems.
Lina did not talk much because what Rian had done indeed made her design. This is further exacerbated that Rian turned out to have been friends with his half-brother, Gio before they dated. So, you could say the lover also told his condition such as family problems that are not good and bad attitude done by Lina.
Knowing his disgrace made him even more repressed and chose to go to the passenger seat while attaching earphones to his ears to listen to instruments that calmed his mind. Rian pulled the earphone cord but he glanced at Rian and told him to focus on driving instead of caring about himself.
"There's a problem with you again ? shouldn't we be har-" added Rian as he turned his eyes to look at Lina's eyeballs but his instincts said don't continue the words because it seems Lina was ready to argue with him.
Lina harbored what she wanted her boyfriend to say as he did for what he did. There was a time when he released the still calm shock force on the container that was in his mind to where it should be.
There are many things that Rian does not know about Lina, being a child who is desperate for the relationship of both parents who have been fractured, it is not easy to recover it back in time.
His stepbrother prevented him from meeting his father because he had hired a bodyguard to meet him. Even though he had thrashed and begged while rubbing his palm to meet the Father, his brother from a distance just put on his tangled look and told him to print security. He must begin to dare to step away from it.
The separation of both parents is not about quarrels but misunderstandings in capturing the statement of speech so that it is uncomfortable to speak stale words between partners.
That's what Lina knows, all this time her mother prefers to harbor resentment or sadness even though the father has given direction to be more open. On the other side of the Father is that indeed at that time the Father has loved Mother but over time the relationship with her stepmother is more intense in face to face and does not realize that it has been deviated in maintaining vision of the mission of building a household.
For him life is easy to crack and the two people who have married, it is not that easy to build a pole together just based on love like in the romantic movies he had seen.
Trust, mutual communication, acceptance of dissent, financial to spiritual strengthening to Almighty God are aspects that must be realized in marriage.
He knew the imposition of idealism that his father wanted to realize to his Mother, had long hair and a more subtle speech that led to separation. At least his parents separated in a peaceful manner.
Lina admitted that her mother when upset or bad mood, was able to issue swear words to be heard because for her mother that's how to pour emotions well.
It was lost for a moment when his girlfriend said that they had reached the front of Lina's office after a long time passing through the ins and outs of city traffic that was difficult to avoid.
Rian had invited Lina to talk about what problem they had to solve but Lina cut off Rian's words and chose to thank him and give him a packet of coffee candy products as a snack in the morning automaker.

The atmosphere of the office is somewhat boisterous because there is a discourse to take a break from the daily routine with some employees who perform well and succeed in attracting the attention of customers will be prioritized to get the privilege.
As with Lina, she had applied for leave at the end of the year but her boss preferred to leave to approve her application. I don't know until he himself forgets what he wants to say. Many questions approached him.
But one of his colleagues was ready to leave during the break. Lina asked where her partner was going, her partner just shed tears and stood up straight to walk away
For him, is there anything wrong. His colleagues have invited several people to say goodbye for the last time to people they think have little effect on the lives of the employees. He who has been considered his partner as his own mother is a janitor.
His colleague said when he needed someone to accompany him like this, no one had reached out his hand yet. Lina felt insinuated with the words of her colleague, whereas in her thinking, the words were not intended for her.
His colleagues said that when other employees ask for help, invite food or just entertain when working, he faithfully accompanies and wants to spend his time but at times like this people ignore and underestimate, he said, for Lina's other colleagues for what to give the last greeting to a person who did not have a big effect on the company and the officer was also not well known by the employee where Lina worked.
Her colleague only told Lina that at least Lina held a conscience to the person who contributed to her life even though the role performed had little impact on her.
His colleagues went further and further to leave and preferred to embrace themselves to continue their journey, he recalls being in a position where he struggled to take the opportunity when many people could take the good opportunity but wasted.

Lina still has not left to serve because the work time has ended in her heart she promised to give her last greetings by herself she headed there later.
Then Lina tried to contact the Princess first to consult, whether she should be alone when leaving. There is a huge urge to lead him to the funeral home but he is afraid of being awkward if only he shows up to be asked about work by an abandoned family.
The Princess gave her instructions carefully if Lina did not have to uphold the shame of facing the crowd, prepare a sincere heart and pray that the spirit rest in peace on the lap of the Creator.
The princess also informed him that he was currently very busy because he had to plunge the field with some soldiers who were still evacuating the household furniture of the community that could still be saved.
Lina did not understand what kind of situation the Princess passed at this time but she always prayed that the Princess' work be facilitated and hung up her phone quickly.
In a less conducive and unexpected situation, the Princess commander requires soldiers to be on standby with all kinds of problems towards a village affected by landslides due to a fairly strong flood dam.
The princess quickly went to another evacuation site, meeting other soldiers and volunteers who were helping the community. By nightfall, it turns out that more and more work must be completed when from now on he had not rested even though only 5 minutes, but what power he had to carry out the mandate.
Princess also still have stock of clothes to be distributed to the community in need. Many volunteers who helped included one of them who still wore neat clothes, said hello and asked him where should the stock of furniture that was flooded in the flood.
The princess told him to move the clothes to tools such as tents, firewood to matches to a safer or dry place because the rain still fell back even though it was just a speck. The man also said how the fate of students who will learn because they were affected by the landslide.
The princess stopped her activities for a moment and looked at the man and thought why someone like her had this evacuation place and the man stood up, and confronted himself to the Princess. Not to forget he removed the trail of dust and dirt spots in his hands using a handkerchief.
The man eventually introduced himself as an honorary teacher at the school where he taught and waved his hand to the Princess to say hello for the first time. The princess a little while looked at the outstretched hand towards her and replied with a handshake.
