The Heart I Choose

Episodes 2.4

Kriinnggg...

My phone rang, there was an incoming call from Septian. I set my breath still hunting because I cried, I don't want to sound whiny from across there. I got out of Mama's house and headed to the terrace to get a call.

"Hallo..," I answered the call from Septian.

"Hallo Mia, where are you? can you help me, right?" septian from the end of the phone.

Whether I should meet Septian in this condition, my goal of picking up Dika has not been achieved. But, Septian's offer to take me to work in his business is also tempting, all this time I only work as a shopkeeper whose salary is not much but takes from morning to night.

Well, I choose to meet Septian this time, free I stay here they don't care at all about my crying.

"Mia... Are you still there?" septian calls awakened me.

"Eh.iya," I stammered.

"Definitely daydreaming again right? let his daydreaming grow old soon" sneered Septian.

"It's old, it's two, it's weekk. "I replied, replying to Tian's taunts.

"But..still beautiful."

Again, the Septian speech made me feel ashamed.

Why did Mas Wandi never seduce as Tian did, even though I was not the type of woman who liked to be seduced, but I was also an ordinary woman who liked to be praised at times.

"Well.... daydream again?"

"Eh. sorry," I stammered.

"Come...Do you know where else? let me pick it up now!"

"I'm waiting where we met, right?" I said, at a glance my eyes saw the curtains of Mama's room blushing, maybe Mama peeked from inside her room.

Before leaving I tried to call Dika once more, hoping they would come out to see me, "When! Mama's going home! Wouldn't you like to come with Mama?" call me.

I heard the whispers, before Dika finally answered my call, "Mama go home first, later followed if Papa has come here!!" dika's voice sounded hoarse holding back her cries.

I hate this situation, why are they holding my son, what do they want?

"Well Dika, Mama now go home first yes, tomorrow Mama here again, pick up Dika!"

"No need Ma, Dika wants to go to school here with Grandma," replied Dika still from inside the room.

My chest rippled, this must be their whisper. My tears fell again, I'm free to stay here, if they still survive with Ego and fear of anger Mas Wandi. Before leaving, Mas Wandi must have given his family an ultimatum to prohibit me from bringing Dika home.

I walked away from Mas Wandi's house, remembered the promise to meet Septian, I straightened my eyes forward, and wiped away the tears that had already welled up. I went home without a grasp.

***********

In front of the alley where we had met, there was already a Septian waiting,

"Haii.." call him.

"Hi," I replied weakly, my feelings are still carried away in the atmosphere at Mas Wandi's house earlier.

I noticed Septian's face, he looked dashing with his knee-length shirt and shorts, his always smiling face like he wanted to make me happy....if he were mas Wandi I would probably hug and devote longing for his affection.

"What do you want to ask for help?" askaku.

Remembering that on the other end of the phone, Septian said he needed help.

"It's the turning, you're funny" Tian said with a crisp laugh, but he was the one who seemed funny to me.

"Take the road! I'm not good to see brother ojek, later mistaken for a beautiful girl seductress," Tian laughed and opened the car door for me.

I just smiled, he could always comfort me.

"So what do you want to help?" repeat the question after the car goes forward towards the big road.

"I would have said, my warehouse admin stopped, so his position is now empty no one has replaced, I did not have time to find a new employee, I did not have time to find a new employee, especially in the office now he's busy making a year-end report, you want to help me?" tian asked while occasionally turning a glance towards me.

"You know, I'm just graduating Junior High, my highest job is just a shopkeeper, where you can work using a computer, you can lose hiring people who are not experts,"

"Maybe now you're not an expert, but I know your persistence, later you can, I won't get tired of teaching you." Septian was still trying to persuade me.

Honestly I also want this job, the calculations can add to the work experience, but there is a fear that if the miscalculation I can make Tian's business lose money.

"Alright Tian, I try first, if it turns out that I can't then I'll resign!"

"Yess..you will finally accept me," replied Tian gleefully.

"What???" my eyes glared at him, he laughed out loud,

"I mean accept my job offer, hahhaha...."

I laughed when I saw him, the 27-year-old man is now focused on facing forward, so we no longer talk.

We have arrived at a house that has been designed like an office and at the same time used as a warehouse by Septian. It appears some workers dropped goods from a boxcar.

"Here put it where, sir?" ask one of them.

Septian pointed to the door of a room, "That's it first!, let it be recorded in the amount and just put it in the warehouse."

Tian called me over, "Well, this is his barn" he opened the door with a key he took out of his small bag.

"See you're busy?" septian said, "This entry item must be recorded and checked again, before it is sent to the consumer, I am lucky to find you who can help" Tian said.

I just smiled faintly, "If I record the manual I can Tian, but don't tell me to use the computer first! I have to study again."

"Sipp, the important thing is you want to help me."

There were 10 bales piled up in front of that door, I had to get to work, let it finish quickly and put into storage. A little bit I can forget about the problems that just happened, I hope you're okay there, son!

"Lord, please take care of me!" my prayers flowed and began to take notes as per Tian's direction.
