The Fortitude of a Woman

Chapter 3 resigns

The morning of Judah was checking the finances of the sale overnight.Because last night Yuda was asleep so he could only check this morning.Yes because the overnight sales were so crowded.

"I think last night his income was quite large.!what was so crowded until I did not know even I was asleep"(Juda muttered when I finished calculating the results of the sale last night.)

"Since rahma worked with me, my stall here has always increased its sales.So attractive is the girl"(Batin Yuda in heart.)

Then Yuda ended his activities and went to the market to shop for vegetables and fresh fish that will be sold later in the afternoon.

When his feet were about to step out and close the door of the shophouse, suddenly someone called out to none other than Rahma.

"Sir, you wait.!!!"(Shouted Rahma when she saw her boss was about to come out)

"What's Rahma, then,?why are you so serious? Is there anything important?"(Ask Judah to rahma)

"Hmm..!!anu sir ehh.uh I am confused sir want ngmong how the same father.I am afraid you are angry with me!!"

(Rahma said that he spoke in stammering words because he was most afraid of having to say something)

"What's wrong?just tell me if it's important."((Yuda Speak)

"Anu sir I apologize to you before his father, I want to resign sir"(Rahma said while looking down did not dare to look at his boss)

"Why do you want to get out of here?or is your salary less?Or here is not good because I often scold you.All that I do because so that all of you are disciplined.I have no problem with the way you work, so far,because your work here is quite good in my opinion.So I beg you to keep working with me".((Judah explained to his men)

"Sorry sir but I really can not work with the father anymore.I have to go home because there is an important business.So I beg you to understand me at this time"(said Rahma)

"Alright if that is your reason.I will not forbid you.Hopefully you will get a better job again.I hope you can return to work with me later"(Juda said he hoped and was saddened by the loss of the most diligent man.)

Flashback..

Riska intends to visit the residence of Rahma's parents.Sekedar want to know the news and berkilaturahmi to his friend's family.

Geck..Geck..Tok.(knock on door)

"Assyntheir,!!"(said Riska greeting while knocking on the door of the house)

Umi Safa walked towards the door and answered the greeting from Riska.

"Walaikumsalam, Eh nak Riska tumben come here?, is not his son Riska is in school in the city huh?"(Ask Umi Safa to Riska.Karena Umi know Riska attended school in the city)

"Iya Umi, Riska was deliberately visited here because she wanted to visit Umi all Umi relatives"(Obviously Riska and is influenced by Umi Safa)

"Let's have a seat, make a drink first"(Safa Umi and walk to the kitchen)

"Sorry son Riska there is only this, Maklum umi there is this can not serve delicious food like in the city."((Say Umi Safa while serving on the table)

Riska also understood it because Rahma's parents came from a family that could not afford it.

"Yes Umi is okay.Riska has actually been troublesome this so his Riska is not tasty the same umi"(said Riska on Umi Safa)

Finally Riska also explained that her intention and purpose of visiting was to invite Rahma to work at her sister's house which was in the city.

"If Umi is up to Rahma only, because Umi can not give a decision just like that.Let's Rahma contact nak Riska if she is interested."(explained Umi Safa to Riska)

Because Umi Safa did not want to sue her daughter, then Riska said goodbye to Umi Safa.Since the afternoon was afraid of going back to the city.

******

Evening arrived, Umi Safa who had thought about Riska's offer finally chose to call her daughter.

tut..tut..tut...!!!

(Tellphone dial tone rings)

And not how long was adopted by her daughter .

"*hallo ,assalamualaikum umi.!how's umi doing there ?are Umi and Romi okay?"(ask Rahma to Umi Safa)

"walaikumsalam nak .Umi good and Romi also good dear.There are things you want to convey,Tadi nak Riska your friend came to offer a job at the home of her relatives.Umi does not force any decision you , ' Umi ,because Umi already felt like a failure can not send you to school like your wish"(Umi's speech across the phone.No tears umi was dripping because sad with the fate of her daughter)

"Ah well umi will think back, If this is the best Rahma will take this job.Tomorrow morning Rahma told Umi and Rahma will go home first before Rahma moved to work."((Tomorrow RahmaClearly Rahma on his umi)

"Yas already want you now continue to work, baby take care of his health, Umi also want to rest,assalamualaikum".((Umi's speech did not forget to remind her daughter and then turn off the phone)

"Walaikumsalam Umi"(Rahma answered the greetings from his umi)

Then Rahma took ablution water for prayers istikharah in order to make the right decision.Rahma had decided to resign and work at the home of Riska's relatives even though only as a maid, Rahma read Rahma Middle School just did not graduate.

Flashback..

Rahma said goodbye to Wawan and his boss Yuda.There is a little sense of loss in the heart of Judah either because it stores the taste or just simply amazed his men.Because it is impossible if you have feelings for the men his whereas Judah already had a lover who would be his future wife.

*******

Rahma stepped her feet to get out of the shop and ride the angkot to the terminal to quickly get to the destination.It took 30 minutes to get to the terminal.

"hopefully this is the best way forward and I can help umi and her school fees Romi.So Umi does not have to bother always selling bicycles around the village."(murm Rahma muttered in her daydream)
