The Single Parent

Debates

Today was the last Friday I worked at my workplace for almost three years.

This morning I went to work with Vano, Nia came home yesterday.

Riding my motorcycle to Vano's school.

Getting there, Vano got off by himself from sitting behind me and I picked up his trolley bag.

Vano stretched out her hand to shake hands with me and I rubbed her hair.

"Be careful, Vano" I said.

"Yes Mother" replied Vano.

Vano held onto the handle of her trolley bag and slowly pulled it, turning towards me when she reached the Childcare patio and smiling as she waved her hand.

His little hand opened the door and went inside.

I turned on my bike and left Childcare where Vano was.

Vano has grown up, has started to be independent, soon his sister was born and I started again with a new activity.

May I keep God's trust to educate and care for my children and be given long life to see children marry and have grandchildren.

Didn't feel like I had reached the motorcycle park where I was working, Nia seemed to have just arrived.

We walked up the stairs.

"Rin, what if Mr. Farid doesn't acc you to get out of here?" ask Nia.

"What I want to do is to arrange," I replied in an irritated tone at the thought of Mr. Farid's words when the day I faced him.

"Sabar Rin, don't gas it dong" said Nia.

Arriving at Widya's invisible office maybe she's allowed to prepare for her wedding.

I sat at my desk turning on the computer, waiting for the computer to be ready I checked my reports that today I will report to Mr. Farid as well as my resignation letter that I will make.

The computer was ready I immediately typed my resignation letter and I printed then I stood up and walked towards the printer machine to pick up the prints.

Go back to my desk and sign my resignation and then I put it on the map.

"Today my work is done, so if I leave the office today I have no work debt" I said.

"He he he is your intention," said Nia and laughed.

"Yes Rin, I don't want to leave my job when I leave a company" I replied.

"You will too if you go out also have to finish your work do not burden your substitute" my advice.

Leaning my back on the chair, and looking forward.

In my mind said, I do not feel this place has been occupied for almost three years, yes.

From the time I separated from home, divorced to remarried and pregnant, this place of work became a silent witness of my way of life.

"Rin... Mr. Farid is past," said Nia to disperse my reverie.

"Yes later, still this morning," I said, pulling my body forward to grab my bag and open it to take the place of eating that contained the siomay dimsum.

I slowly took it and ate it until my heart calmed down and the child in my stomach was full.

Standing up from my seat and taking the report file as well as my resignation map, I walked slowly towards Farid's room.

The clock on my left wrist shows ten o'clock in the afternoon.

I knocked on Farid's door until a male voice told him to come in.

Slowly I pushed into the doorknob and I closed it back when I was inside.

I walked to Mr. Farid's desk.

The sour face of Mr. Farid when he saw me.

I sat down without being invited to sit down.

We nobody started to talk.

Mr. Farid did not move to see or touch the file I handed him in front of him.

"Rin. I can't acc you out of this company" Mr. Farid said.

I was shocked to hear Mr. Farid say.

"I mean Father?" ask me again want to ask him why not acc me.

"Because I don't want you to leave this company," replied Mr. Farid casually.

"Sir... employees also have the right to leave the company where they work why did you stop?" I started to get emotional.

"Yes, employees have rights, but if the leader doesn't agree, what to do" he replied, it made me more emotional.

"Father wants to let Rinda resign now, if not, Rinda will stay out" I said.

"Bapak knows? Rinda's woman is a mother is also a wife, her main task is to educate children, also serve her husband, why did you stop?" askaku.

"Can do it after work" replied Mr. Farid.

"Sorry sir can not, Rinda still wants to leave this company and focus on taking care of the family, Rinda does not want to be a widow again, not good sir," I said.

"Why is your home? trouble again? then it just so happens that I can get close to you" Mr. Farid said.

Mr. Farid's words just now made me more emotional and offended.

"Father when you think about it, you think my household is in trouble? no sir, we are fine even long distance relationship, thank you for your intention to approach me, but it is too late, and from today I resign from sinj, you agree whether not, What salary is not my job this month, Rinda does not care," I said as I stood up.

"Excuse me" I said and left Mr. Farid's room disappointed.

Arriving in my room with a grim face, I immediately cleaned up my things and wanted to leave this room immediately without saying goodbye to the other division friends.

"Rin.. Why are you?" asked Nia curiously.

"I want to go home today, offended also disappointed by the talk of Mr. Farid, please Vano later you pick up, later at home I tell you," I replied.

Leaving my office for almost three years I was there disappointed and riding my motorcycle to the house of in-laws.

Until the house-in-law, open the turnstile then put the motorcycle in the garage and close the turnstile then step to the front door of the house to take the house key and open the door.

Walk to the room, remove my hijab, then go into the bathroom to wash my feet and face and change clothes.

Hmmm, it turns out that Mr. Farid likes me all this time, fortunately I immediately leave from there.

Right now the time is showing at half-hour one in the afternoon, I lay my body on the bed and close my eyes to take a nap.

Hopefully by taking a nap can intercede my thoughts and emotions.

After waking up I relaxed at home.

Moments later Nia and Vano came home, Vano came up to me and kissed me on my stomach and headed to the living room to turn on the television.

Nia came into her room shortly after and came out of the room, changed her clothes and walked up to me.

"Rin, Farid was angry, and there was a sudden meeting, what happened to you and Farid?" ask Nia.

"It's Nia's annoyance that people come out and can't even say they like me, I don't have emotions" I replied.

"Huh," Nia was surprised.

"What is Rin?" ask Nia.

"She's really, why is she angry?" my many.

"That is. said that if the employee who wants to resign must have his consent if there is no agreement from him he threatens the name of the employee will be blacklisted," replied Nia.

"Let's just say, like the company owned by his ancestors just say so, anyway he's there the same as us, employed," I said.

"How do I get my salary?" my many.

"So the finance department told me to keep transferring your salary on Monday" Nia replied.

"Thank God, then" I said.

We chatted casually then had a dinner of maghrib prayers and congregated isya and went into each room to rest.
