The Primadona Malam

The Happiness of Hanafi and Halimah

Halim put the phone back in her service pants pocket. For a moment, he took a deep breath. Still trying to renege on the mistake he had made just now.

"No! It's just an attempt by me to please Ceu Halimah. Because to be honest, I can't imagine her sadness knowing that Niram hasn't gotten a job. He will definitely feel disappointed. Not to mention his father at this time. Kang Ana can be anfal if she hears all the truth. Nah! I can't take any chances so far" muttered Halim, trying to deny his deed of lying to her brother.

When Halim was engrossed in daydreams. Suddenly the intercom in his room rang.

"Sir Halim. Please come to my room!"

"Good, Mom!" sahut Halim's.

Doesn't want to make his boss wait any longer. Halim soon moved from her place. When he reached the office lobby, he passed Dea.

"Sir Halim!" call Dea while running towards Halim.

"Yes, why Neng?" ask Halim.

"Father is called Miss Mona. He said to face him right now in his room" Dea said.

"Yes, Neng. Here you go to Mona's room" replied Halim.

Dea blushed in shame. "Oh, yes, that's it. Please go ahead," he said.

Halim smiled as she nodded her head. After Dea left, Halim set foot on the second floor.

Wh-tok-tok!

Arriving in front of the manager's room, Halim knocked on the door.

"Lake in!" mona orders from inside the room.

Halim also according. He opened the door and said hello to his boss.

"Assalamu'alaikum, good day, ma'am!" greet Halim.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. In the afternoon, Mr. Halim, please sit down!" mona's Word.

Halim moved her legs forward again. A moment later, he pulled a chair in front of Mona's desk and immediately sat on it.

"This is Mr. Halim. The leadership training plan that will be implemented next week, apparently accelerated. So, tomorrow Mr. Halim has to go to the Mandalawangi Cibodas campground located at the foot of Mount Gede Pangrango. You know, is that the place?" mona.

"Yes, Mom. I knew. It just so happened that when I was attending basic education from the foundation, the training was also there," replied Halim.

"Thank God you know the place. So look, from the office, we will provide all your needs during the training there. Starting from the transportation costs and accommodation costs. It's just, we can't take you to that place. We will only give you a letter of official travel and also a letter of instruction to follow the training that you can show to the committee team there," Mona said at length, "Mother understand?" coined.

"Ready, Mom! I understand!" halim answered while upholding his seat.

Mona smiled at Halim's alertness. A moment later, he took out three envelopes and thrust them towards Halim.

"This is both a letter and also a provision for the Father. Good luck," Mona said.

Mona smiles. "Please, Sir."

Somewhere else.

In a hurry, Halimah entered her house. The news that Halim gave just now, is the best news that Halimah has ever heard.

"Well! Daddy!" call Halimah while shouting because of the happiness that is rising in her chest.

In room. Hanafi who was closing his eyes, suddenly blinked at the screams of his wife. He thought maybe something happened to his wife. Hanafi got up and was about to get out of bed. However, before she stood up, Halimah had already opened the door of her room quite roughly.

Hanafi. His forehead frowned when he saw his wife standing in the doorway. Even more surprisingly, a wide smile was engraved clearly on the look on his wife's face. Hanafi also increasingly linked his two eyebrows.

"What's up, Mom?" ask Hanafi.

"There are two happy tidings that I want to tell Father" Halimah said with a sigh.

Hanafi was getting clueless. But, hearing the word joy. It is undeniable that Hanafi was also happy to hear it. Although he did not know what kind of good news his wife was trying to convey.

Halimah approached Hanafi. He dropped down in front of Hanafi while looking at the old man who was very much loved despite the wrinkles on his face.

"The first good news, thank God ... Halim gets a promotion in her office, Dad!" halimah.

"Subhanallah .. walhamdulillah, Mom. Finally the boy managed to achieve his dream," Hanafi greeted with great novelty because he was happy. "Then, the second good news?" ask Hanafi.

"The second good news, our son ...."

Halimah paused her sentence. And of course that makes Hanafi even more curious.

"What's our son, Mom?" ask Hanafi.

"Our son, emmh ..he's got a job, Dad," Halimah said.

Both Hanafi eyeballs look teary. The happiness he felt in his heart, he was unable to express with words. Only his two shoulders moved up and down after hearing the second tidbit.

Yes, which parents are unhappy when they hear their children can learn to be independent.

Halima who could see her husband's thin body shaking, immediately hugged Hanafi tightly. Haru's taste completely enveloped the hearts of the two.

"It feels like a dream, Mom. The baby that I care for every night, is now big and can find his own income" whispered Hanafi, hoarse.

"Yes, Sir. I know," said Halimah.

For a few minutes, the two old men hugged each other and vented the happiness he felt this second.
