A few hours later, no one received his call. His eyes continued to refuse to shut while others fell asleep unknowingly. Until dawn came, Budi was unceasingly trying to contact everyone.
“Halo. Assalamu’alaikum, Ta”
Half yelled Budi greeted his lover. His loud voice woke up his comrades.
“Wa’alaikum salam, Bram” replied Adel with a raucous voice. Seen on the screen of Budi's phone, Adel's eyes are swollen and red. His face and hair were unkempt.
“Ya Alloh, Ta. Tata's in the hospital? Who is it, emm, “ Budi is not happy to ask who is the victim.
“Mr, Bram” replied Adel.
“Astaghfirulloh. Father why? You're all right, right?” sahut Budi's. Ratna and the others sat down and focused on Budi.
“Aalhamdulillah's. Father is not papa. I was just in shock. Abis everything, Bram” replied Adel.
She cried at the end of her answer. Seems like Budi actually wants to ask more. But he's holding back. Waiting for his lover to finish shedding his sorrow.
“Tata don't know what else to do, Bram. Ludes's workshop. There is nothing left” Adel said again.
“But home is not papa, right?” ask Budi.
Adel shook his head. In my heart I give thanks. At the very least, the more valuable ones could still be saved.
“Mebelnya, how? Have Luki, safe?” ask again.
Adel scrunched his forehead. Strange for him, when his lover even asked for furniture Luki order.
“Luki's license is safe, Bram. Was taken. But,”
Adel's answer hangs. I can guess what Adel wants to say next. He seemed to think for a moment.
“OK. How much to pursue?” ask Budi.
For a while, Adel did not answer. Her tears melted again, representing the confusion that now ruled her mind.
“Everything, Bram”
“Allohu Akbar's. Everything?” ask him unconsciously.
Adel cried again as he nodded. He really feels fucked. It had been imagined in his mind what would happen if his father failed to fulfill the request that had been paid.
“Make delivery tomorrow ludes all, Bram” reply Adel later.
“Sorry Tata, Bram. These are all Tata” errors Adel continued.
For a moment they were silent to each other. Confused what to comment. He was sure, the statement was just an expression of the sadness of Adel's heart.
“Hei. How wrong is Tata? Kan Tata does not deal with electricity, Tata also does not ngerokok” entertain Budi.
“This is all because of his employees Mr, Bram”
“Hem?”
“Yes, yes, rich, rich Abram equals Dino, gitu”
“Dino? Oh, continue?” Understand what Adel means.
“Tata very annoyed with his employees the old father. It's still so old that it's hard to manage. It's Bram, all by itself. Potatoes most senior, most pinter,most, ah”
Adel punched a nearby iron roof support pole. He felt very angry at that person.
“Eeem”
Budi felt a bit disconnected between what Adel told him and the fire that occurred. As a man, he felt he would be more satisfied if he took his revenge on the woman who insulted him. Like harassment, or maybe rape.
“Ya, indeed. Not necessarily so, Bram” said Adel understood the confusion of his lover.
“He was angry. And had a duel with Luki” continued Adel.
“Luki?”
“Ya. yesterday she also collected her order. Therefore, Tata was angry to do that person, because the strategy we discussed at dawn, was not lived with him. It's rich, too. The order Luki molor workmanship”
“Kok he can duel with employees Mr?”
“Yes, because he was angry, when that person said Tata, lont*” replied Adel carefully. Half the fear will make you offended.
“What?”
“Sorry Tata, Bram. Tata does not know if he snedeket fitting Tata angrily”
“Haihi. There's a kid, anyway?” luh Budi's. He scratched his head that was not itchy.
“Ckk. I don't know how to fight with a fight. Where the fuck is it going? Nongol not him?” continue to be upset. Adel shook his head.
“Abram even suspected the same he” said Budi.
“Means Abram?” adel asked confused.
For a moment their eyes clashed.
“Ah, end. Abram is just a jealous aja” replied Budi while shaking his head. Adel had laughed at the answer, even for a moment.
“But, Bram?” sahut Adel, as objection.
“Why?” ask Budi confused.
Adel looked to the right and to the left, as if observing the situation.
“The money abis, Bram” replied Adel shrivelled.
“Modalnya no more” he continued.
Budi gasp. For a moment he did not respond to his lover's reply. Only his eyes twitched left, right, up, and down alternately. She was calculating her financial ability to help her lover's predicament.
“Abram can help. Don't think about it!” budi said later.
“Braam”
Adel cried again. He felt a little relief between the heavy crush. Let's just shut it down for a while.
“Mother there, isn't it?” ask Budi, a few moments later.
“Oh, no. Again in dalem nemein mom, Bram. There's a Princess too, again Madin nemenin. He was also in shock, bram” Adel replied in full.
“Sorry Abram yes, ta! Abram was not there in the precarious time rich gini”
“There is more important for Tata, Bram. And Tata will be very grateful if Abram really can help Tata” Adel replied.
“OK. Send picture! Abram will take care of the rest” replied Budi.
“Okay, Bram”
“Health tag, yes! Tata should be strong. I depend on Tata”
“Yes, Bram”
“Assalamu’alaikum”
“Wa’alaikum salam”
Budi still looks at the screen of his phone, even though the phone connection has been disconnected.
His brain wanders to make a strategy, how to be targeted delivery kloter to two it can still be fulfilled. So hard he thought, to the point that he was not consciously noticed by all his colleagues. He woke up when he dropped his phone.
“What can we help, mas?” ask Ratna.
Hearing the question, makes Budi become thinking about the negotiation of time. Force major is something that can be considered asking for an extension of time.
“Mbak Hilda's. Could ask Farah nanyain to mr. Isaac, don't you ask for more time? Whatever the extra time, I will appreciate” asked Budi.
“Oh, ready. I called mbak Farah first” replied Hilda.
“Na?” call Budi.
“Yes, mas. What can I help you with?” sahut Ratna's.
“In your place, there is still an empty slot?” ask Budi.
“Oh, okay. I asked you first” replied Ratna.
“But I think, I need tempo, Na. Can not?” ask again. Ratna smiled.
“Insya Alloh can” replied Ratna.
Budi was actually not so sure of Ratna's answer. He felt that Ratna had actually prepared another strategy regarding payment. Budi thought that Ratna would help him with his personal finances first.
“Still yes, Na” says Budi.
The two men immediately moved as requested by Budi. He contacted Kang Supri. He made his point of helping the difficulties of his future in-laws.
At first, Kang Supri was a bit objected. The reason, lately the number of visits in the gallery increased. And the sales of souvenirs are also increasing. But Budi insisted that they should follow his orders.
Budi also said, if visitors are given the right education, it might be a good opportunity to show what habits this wooden workshop has.
When the picture has been obtained, an extension of time has also been obtained, help from the omnya Ratna has also been obtained, Budi immediately rolled out his strategy.
The division of tasks based on their respective abilities, targets to be obtained, until the delivery strategy.
Deni, who had been passive, now offered his brother's pick-up car to help transport raw materials and products.
Bayu also offers similar things. With the intention, so that the wooden workshop Budi can be maximized to process raw materials into semi-finished goods. The parts that will be assembled later.
While the workshop of Ratna's omnya wood, devoted to assemble the parts that have been made in the workshop Budi wood.
I'm sure I accepted both of their offers. Moreover, when Budi asked for a rental note if the vehicle was completed later, both said that it was not necessary to think about. They want to help, not do business.
There was Erika who offered no help. And everything is understood. They know that Erika actually likes Budi. And they also know, Adel who incidentally is now a rival, will not be on the list of people who will get help from an Erika.
Only small things that Erika does for a Budi. such as cooking breakfast, making coffee, and such. In the cold snow that is still falling, there are many things that Budi does. Things that cannot be represented to others.
