The Single Parent

Waiting for Work

The car drove to the nursery as well as Vano's school, then the car headed to my office.

"Mas.nitip take care of Vano later" I said as I opened the seat belt.

"Yes dear" replied Mas Arif and kissed me on the cheek

"I work first mas" said I and saluted the mas Arif then kissed his right and left cheeks and opened the car door,

I waved my hand at the Arif mas who was about to take the car away from me.

"Be careful Rin" said Mas Arif from inside the car whose glass was opened.

After the car left the parking lot I walked to my office and climbed the stairs one by one, until at the office there was still no one to come, I saw the clock on the wall showing eight at least a quarter, I turn on the computer, I wait a while while opening the map on my desk and start I input the sales data.

"For Rinda, very diligent" said Nia

"You know for yourself, two months most of the time, my work like this piled up like a mountain tiller, tomorrow must be finished Nia, thank you for helping me a lot yesterday" I said while inputting data.

"You're gonna be late?" asked Nia while putting her bag on the side of her desk.

"Yes Nia" I said briefly because I focused on the nominal numbers of money I typed

"Vano who's njaga?" ask Nia again

"Sama mas Arif" I said

"You go on Rin" said Nia, then I'm more serious and focused on my work

Time off when I intend to go down the stairs there is a courier coming

"Mother Arinda is there?" ask the courier

"Oh yes I sir, have a delivery for me?" ask me with a surprised face

"This is a food shipment from Mr. Arif please accept" said the courier while handing the package to me

"Oh, thank you, how much money?" ask me while receiving the package

"It has been paid the same Mr. Arif bu" replied the courier then turned down the stairs as well as me.

After the sublime prayer, I took a break including Nia, usually spent in the cafeteria for lunch, but this time I did not participate, because I had received food delivery from my husband, finally I went up the stairs again to go back to my office and eat food delivery mas Arif.

Up at my desk I opened the package earlier, it turned out rice field with rendang fish, I took hp from inside my bag intending to call my husband, video call lifted my husband, my husband, I took a, apparently, Arif was sleeping in the room

"Mas, thank you for sending it, this is Rinda eating'" I said

"Don't Rin?" ask me Arif

"Good service" I replied

"Have continued first, also his work, let the overtime not long, after picking up Vano I to your place" said mas Arif then hung up the phone

One by one my coworkers returned to the office

"Wih... very nice to get a delivery from your husband" said Nia.

"May get married soon let's be more attentive" I said

"That dream husband Rin is your husband, be careful in the seizure of actors let alone remote work" said widya

"Hust not be a stove" I said

"If he wants to find another woman like it's impossible, ten years away without news, has wandered from heart to heart of women, uh the tips of my nyari too" I said proudly

"His love of death is Rin with you" Widya said

"Haven't talked about my husband, I want to do my job first" I said as I stood up and walked to the trash to throw food wrappers and wash my hands in the sink, then I went back to my desk inputting data again, actually very tired but I had to finish this afternoon.

Scroll clock on the wall shows at three in the afternoon, hopefully before the maghrib is finished, pity mas Arif come home want to be with family but I am busy completing my work.

"She be careful" I said

one by one friends left the office to go home to each other, I lived alone in this office, quiet once until the ticking seconds of the wall clock sounded in my ears, he said, the clock on the wall shows four o'clock over twenty minutes.

Drowning in silence in the office, suddenly the sound of footsteps, I looked up my head, it turned out that Arif and Vano were standing at my office door

"Anyone Rin?" ask me Arif

"Yes, stay for a while, and just sit there, Rinda immediately complete the task of Rinda" I said

"Come Vano don't disturb your bunda, want to see the songs on youtube from dad's phone?" the word mas Arif distracts Vano so as not to bother me

"Rin.. This is avocado juice" said mas Arif while putting the juice of the bukat placed in a plastic glass.

"Yes" I said briefly

I keep focused on doing my job just one map, this back feels stiff, many times I stretch my body, I think my husband occasionally watch me work.

Time showed at five o'clock, finally finished my duties, just print, I prepared the paper and I print my report, while waiting to finish printing, I walked towards my husband and my son

"Thank you" I said slowly

"Rin... Your job requires high concentration huh?" ask me Arif

"Rin... I think the weight of your job is, why don't you go into mom's psychology bureau?" ask me Arif

"Mas.all the work is hard but.how do we react, here I work with numbers that have no heart, the important thing is that I focus on the numbers, while in the mother, I work with numbers, I was dealing with a human, a human being, at this time I was not ready mas" I said, mas Arif nodded his head hearing my explanation

Crek..krek...krek.

"Who will be the key to Rin's office?" ask me Arif

"There's a security guard under the mas, he's the one who unlocks the lock" I said

"Tadi Nia told me I was overtime" I said

"After you've finished getting home?" ask me Arif

"Yes mas" I said, standing up to the printer machine picked up the printed paper numbers and writing, then I clip it and I put it in my desk drawer, I turned off my computer and grabbed my bag and waved to my husband

"Come" I said, mas Arif took the phone in the temple Vano

"Have played Vano, it should not be long so that his eyes are not damaged" said mas Arif to Vano, and Vano seemed resigned to give the phone to his father.

I closed the office door and went down the stairs following the mas Arif and Vano, adhan maghrib heard from the mosque around my workplace, under I met the security guard,

"Sir is done, the door can be locked" I said

"Yes ma'am" replied the security guard, then I stepped in following my distant husband in front of me while holding Vano on his back.

When I got in the car I opened the car door and got in the car and then closed the door and put on the seat belt, the car left my office

"Rin... If there's something missing in your office do you know?" ask Arif while driving his car

"Aman mas, there is a twenty-four hour cctv" I explained

"So this is how I can be seen going into your room?" ask me Arif

"Yes" I said, nodding my head

"Mas.... go straight home? Rinda wants

take a shower, it's uncomfortable" I said

At home I took a warm bath and immediately laid my body on the bed and slept.
