" I hope the guy comes home, why?" ask the father who saw the face of his eldest son full of question marks.
" It's curious."
------------
That night after praying Isya Arin and Mr. went to Pak Prapto's house.
They walk, it only takes about 15 minutes to get to his house.
tok tok tok tok
" Openetrance...."
Tok tok tok tok
A young woman opened the door.
" Waalaikumsalam's.
Yeah, who's looking?" ask the girl.
" I'm sorry, is the Father there?" ask Father.
" Let's go in" the girl asked.
" Well, there's a guest," called the boy as he passed away going inside.
" Who's brother?" ask an aged woman.
Long wait, Arin looked at the photo displayed on the wall, really looks like a perfect family.
And shortly thereafter...
" Eh, there's Arin and Dad. Sorry to wait so long," said Mr. Prapto by approaching the two of them and also shaking hands.
" What's the matter, sir, the night you come here?" ask Pak Prapto stale base, because surely he knows the purpose of Arin coming.
" So sir, I want to take Arin, he wants and is interested in what you were offering at that time" explained Mr. Arin.
Suddenly came the girl who opened the door with 3 cups of glass.
" Have a drink" said the girl. And keep going from that room.
" Thank you" replied Arin and Father.
" Sir, if I may, I want to ask Arin directly."
" Please."
" So, Arin, before you decide to go abroad, do you know what the job is?"
" I know as a housekeeper, and maybe also take care of the little ones or look after the elderly" Arin replied.
" Do you know that in PT later you have to follow the rules that apply, and usually stay in one bed with many people."
Arin was a little shocked, but she tried to cover up the sense that was in her heart. This time he answered with a nod.
Then Mr. Prapto got up and took some paper that was not far from their seats.
" This is a list of countries and also with a list of salaries received, you read first!" said Mr. Prapto while thrusting the paper.
Arin read carefully.
" Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan," Inner Arin.
" How's Rin? what's your decision?" ask Mr. Prapto.
Arin looked at his father's face looking for answers, but like you understood what Arin meant, just shrugged his shoulders.
" You who live all the decisions are in your hands" murmured the Father inwardly.
" I'm sorry, sir, if you think it's best for me who is a beginner," asked Arin with his innocent face.
" If in my opinion, you better go to Singapore as a stepping stone for you. Because if you still have the desire to go abroad again, with you EX Singapore must be higher salary than ex other countries." A long explanation from Mr. Prapto.
" I'll choose to go to Singapore, sir."
" Yes, that's it. This is the data and letters that you have to fill first" Pak Prapto asked.
" The age is not filled first yes, later because it must be adjusted to other file files, you empty it yes."
" What are the costs, sir?" ask Mr. Arin.
" If the problem is not in the mind, it will be included with the 8-month salary cut, sir, so take it easy," explained Mr. Prapto.
Arin also took the file, and began to fill, without Arin realizing it was the Father who was next to him shed tears. Because touched and proud of Arin's spirit and determination, Pak Prapto who saw it just smiled at the Father as if giving an answer.
"All will be well."
He smiled and quickly wiped away the tears.
Long Arin fill file file that there are only Five sheets. When he finished, he gave it to Pak Prapto again.
" Sir, please sign it here" pointed Mr. Prapto at Mr. Arin.
My father signed immediately.
" And this one please tomorrow morning you ask for his signature RT sir and RW sir, then you will bring him here again" said Pak Prapto.
" Well then, I say goodbye and thank you" said the two of them.
After arriving at home the clock has shown at 9, but Mother and Ana are still not asleep as she is still waiting for the arrival of the Father and Arin.
" How was that sir?" ask the curious mother.
" That's it, ma'am, all will be taken care of by Mr. Prapto.
We just ask for signatures from Mr. RT and RW, others are already taking care."
" What age is it, sir?" ask Mom again.
" Dekarang Mother calm do not think about it, did you say that all has been taken care of Mr. Prapto. Now it's better we sleep, it's night," take the Father to the room to rest.
Arin and Ana enter their room.
" So giman mbak? do you really want to work abroad?" asked Ana with a sad face.
" Yes, pray for me. It's all for you and our family" replied Arin, hugging Ana tightly.
If anyone sees it will surely know the strong fabric of brotherhood even though since childhood did not live together.
Sepi accompanied in the late night, only the sound of the howling of dogs and crickets was heard in every corner of the village, because all the inhabitants were in the dreamland.
The sound of birds chirping on the tree interlinking, the morning Mentari has appeared.
