That afternoon at the office of Bank BCA located in Menteng, central Jakarta. An OB as usual every lunch hour is told to buy packaged rice in a regular stall by his boss.

All employees were surprised that a well-known President wanted to eat at a roadside stall.

'' Pai, where did you buy this rice?? Ask Daniel.

'' Sorry sir is still in the same place as before.

Daniel had thought, If it is still in the same place why now it feels different??

'' Is the servant still the same?? Ask Daniel again.

'' I'm sorry, sir, it seems like the old servant is no longer working there. Unmistakably.

'' Really? can you help me find out about her and where she lives?

Paijo was a little surprised by his boss, why find out about the roadside shop waitress.

'' Can you help me?? and don't leak it to anyone, it's for you.

Daniel gave Paijo a wad of money.

'' Master what is this for?? Sok sok an don't know.

'' That's the way money.

Paijo just nodded.

 

A week had passed, ever since Daniel told Paijo to look for the existence of Mutia.

Tok tok tok tok

'' Enter!!

'' Good afternoon sir...

'' Oh, you apparently have what information do you get???

'' This is the data you asked for. Paijo handed over a few sheets of paper to Daniel's desk.

'' Thank you you can come out.

Daniel read the report that Paijo gave on the table.

'' Mutia Ramadhani hmm so she's from Kendal. Mumbled.

 

Today Mutia was on her way by sea ship.

'' How many days did he get??

'' 3days deck. Take medicine first so as not to mabok sea.

His brother gave him an anti-sickness drug.

After three days in the middle of the sea Mutia and his brother arrived at the port of Trisakti Banjarmasin which then had to travel again about a day by bus to get to the city of Samarinda.

The next day, the bus they were riding arrived at the terminal. Mutia followed her brother's footsteps towards public transport.

Mutia followed the invitation of her brother who offered to continue his school in the city of Samarinda.

Half an hour later the angkot stopped in front of the alley.

'' Come on deck. His brother Mutia said.

Along the way to my brother's house, many asked who I was? and Brother also introduced that I am his sister from Java.

'' Assalamu'alaikum. And my brother and also my brother.

A woman appeared behind the door and half-smiled.

From here I felt that my brother-in-law did not like my presence, as seen from the look on his face, but I still greeted and kissed the back of his hand.

'' Sister, this is your room tomorrow brother will ask what conditions are needed for you to enter school again.

'' Yes, thank you. My answer.

Evening came because I was still tired I laid my body on a small mattress in my room.

When my eyes were almost closed I heard a voice that was not so obvious as being quarrelling in the lowest possible tone.

Because it's my brother's house from the board inevitably I have to hear them noisily.

Yes, brother-in-law is scolding my brother.

In the morning after dawn prayer I sat for a while on the floor where I prayed I was confused to do because I did not know what to do.

Sounded like my sister-in-law in the kitchen was about to cook maybe, I got out.

'' Morning, can I help you?? Ask me.

'' Wash the rice after cooking the rice!! Sister to the front shop vegetable shopping. He said, I immediately did what brother-in-law told me to do.

'' Yun, that's your husband's sister huh?? Ask the mom who is shopping.

'' Yes Ma. Answer Yuni.

'' Oh yes yesterday I saw your husband bring the girl.Tap the mother again.

Not long Yuni, sister-in-law of Mutia came home with vegetables and fish.

Mutia who saw her sister-in-law coming home from shopping with her face bent, making Mutia assume that her arrival was not liked by her brother-in-law.

Finished cooking Yuni called her husband to go out and have breakfast together.

'' Eat a lot of food, let his mind fresh. Syarif his brother Mutia.

'' Yes bang. Mutia.

The silence at the dining table seemed to make Mutia think how she would talk to her brother so as not to be heard by his sister-in-law.

'' Mom, let me go to Mama's house again. Yuni Say.

'' Lho Yun, my sister is new to this city do you not want to accompany her first?!

'' But I promised Mama, o yes I also asked for more money. Yuni Sayings

'' It's okay, Mutia is also okay at home. Mutia.

'' I said it's okay.

Selsei breakfast Mutia instantly cleaned the dining table and washed the dishes in the kitchen. As if he had heard her prayer Mutia was approaching her brother.

'' Bang, it looks like Mutia does not have to continue school if you can Find a Mutia job here?!

'' Why the deck? what would the same father say if you did not go to school??

'' Father and mother must know bang and understand him.
