THE SOUL FROM GOD

Chapters 15. Return to work with a new spirit.

The right person will be an encouragement and make you smile every day.

On a clear morning, I decided to leave for Masohi City. At the same time meet with Aunt Rita, all of you take my stuff that is still in her house.

Using the angkot from the village I arrived at the terminal of Masohi city.

"Edi, I'm going to the house." I said via text sent to Edi's number.

"She's come, I miss you." Reply Edi to me via sms.

"I'm going to the house now." I replied to Edi, then kept the phone in my little bag and I called the taxi driver.

Didn't wait a long time, and the taxi man arrived near me.

"Which object is Dek at?" asked the taxi driver to me while handing me a helmet.

"I'm going to the complex, behind the RSU." I answered the taxi driver

"Oh yes. Ready already?" ask the taxi driver, check my readiness

" Already," I replied briefly as I gave a helem to my head

"Let's go." Said the motorcycle taxi driver to me in a soft voice, then drove the bike.

I arrived in front of Edi's house, after getting off the motorcycle, I paid the taxi fare, and the taxi driver passed from my sight.

When I stepped into the courtyard of Edi's house, it was seen from far away that Edi's front door was wide open, and I dared to step into the house.

"Good day." I said before stepping into the living room.

"El, just came?" aunty Rita asked me while looking at me, then returned to the kitchen to continue her activities.

"Yes Mom, I arrived yesterday and today I just got to meet Mom." I replied as I stepped into the kitchen and saw what Mom was working on

"Eat El, have some food, or have some tea please." Mother said to me, while preparing lunch

"My mom went to the room first, yeah, I'm gonna take care of it." I said to Mom, then stepped into my room.

After finishing cleaning and packing things, I came out of the room and met Mom in the living room.

"Mom, I have something to talk to you about." I said to Mom who was sitting on the living room couch.

"Well, what's El talking about?" ask me with a confused face.

"Mom already know if Edi already has other women besides me, and he said Mother has already approved of them, until they have planned to get married on Edi's birthday later?" ask me to Mom while crying and looking at Mom's face.

"Yes El, but I disagree, because the woman is a widow and different religions are equal to Edi." Mom answered me, and tried to explain

"But Buk, they've gone too far, and I'm here to apologize to Mom, and Brother Boby, too, if during my stay there are things or deeds and my treatment is not good for you I apologize, and about Edi, I do not continue my relationship with him anymore, he said, we're done." I said to Mother, with a sad face, occasionally shedding tears, while holding both of Mom's hands.

"Yes, that's your right El, and most importantly now you're focused on your job yes, I love you El, I wish you could be Mom's daughter-in-law but not." Mom said to me crying and hugged me.

When we were hugging we heard the sound of his motorbike Brother Boby who came to pick up Mom, quickly the bike arrived in front of the yard.

"Mom, are you ready, let me take you to the store?" ask Boby while walking in and towards the toilet

"Yes, you go to the toilet first let me wait for you." Answer Mom to Brother Boby

Mom and I went on, and suddenly Edi came in to see us.

"El, just arrived?" ask Edi to me as he steps in and sits on the couch in the viewing room.

"Yes Edi I just arrived."I replied briefly to Edi while wiping away the tears on my cheek.

"Let's go to the store." Brother Boby said as he stood waiting for Mother, who was going down with him, then Mom and Brother Boby passed from our sight.

"El, you must have met Mom?" ask Edi to me in a slow voice, while watching tv.

" Yes! I explained everything to Mom, let me know your behavior all this time, oh yes, I've tidied all my things to take home!" I said to Edi with emotion and a rude voice.

"Crazy you! think dong kalu say, you son of a bitch El!" edi said to me as he hardened his hand.

When Edi and I were talking suddenly Brother Boby came in, and we were silent for a moment.

"Hey, why?" ask Brother Boby to us as he stepped closer to the sofa in the viewing room.

"Sister Boby I say yes, I say a lot of thanks to Brother Boby who has accepted I live in this house, I'm sorry if I ever made a mistake that hurt Brother Boby, I'm sorry, send greetings to Mother." I said to Brother Boby who was sitting watching tv.

"Yes Ade, I'll tell you later." Answer Brother Boby briefly.

"On my way yes, if you want to get married don't forget to invite me." I said to Edi before I went home.

"Edi and Brother Boby I walk ya." I said before stepping out of their house.

Upon my arrival in front of their yard, Edi suddenly ran towards me and asked me to wait a while so that he would take me to the terminal.

"El, wait there for a second, I change my clothes and drive you to the terminal." Edi told me and then went back into the house

Once it was ready, and we left their yard, Edi's motor drove to the terminal quickly.

"Just stop by the angkot." I said to Edi while pointing towards a blue angkot

"Yes, El." Edi replied briefly, after removing all my belongings from his motorbike, Edi then passed from my sight back home.

I prepared because the angkot was ready to leave, and after all the passengers had sat in their seats, and the driver drove the angkot to the village.

"Why be sad again El, you already have a new friend, who cares for you, give encouragement for you." I said in my heart when I heard the lyrics of the sad song,

It's paralyzing that my memory blotted out about him, blot out my memory of him, throw away all my memories if it's about him, I want me to forget him.

It was only in the Reff section of the song that made me sad at the time. Not wanting to be sad for too long, I took out my phone from my pocket and activated my phone and read some messages from Thomi that had been sent since then, he said;

"Hi El, don't forget to eat lunch, otherwise you'll curl up El." Thomi said in a message sent to me via text.

"Sorry for the reply, brother, sorry🙏" I sent a message back to Thomi, and Thomi responded quickly to my message.

"El, lunch don't be late, you'll be sick, there's no one who can accompany me to tell you through the phone." Reply to me, Thomi.

"Yes, Brother Thomi." I replied to her message with a smile

"It's called being happy, every day he makes me smile and he keeps me up and reminds me not to eat late, really my heart starts, to feel something different." I said in my heart while staring at the windshield to see the green trees.

the communication between me and Thomi is getting smoother, and my condition is starting to improve.

When I got home, I decided to continue my journey back to my workplace.

"Dad I'll be back at work tomorrow morning." I said to my father who was sitting on the front porch of our house.

"It's up to you El."Answer me briefly.

That morning I was preparing to go to the city of Ambon.

by using the big bus I left. After about 5 hours I finally arrived in the city of Ambon and, heading to the port.

"Excuse me Buk, buy a boat ticket to Buru island." I said to a mother who served at the ticket booth.

"All right, I'm asking for your ID." The officer answered me

" This is my ID." I said while handing over my ID to the officer's mother

After waiting for a few minutes, and the attendant mother said to me;

"One hundred and sixty-five thousand rupiah ticket huh." Said the officer's mother while handing me one ticket and my ID.

"Yes, Mom, thank you." I replied while handing over the cash according to the amount requested, then passed and sat down in the waiting room.

After an hour of waiting, the port officer finally opened the waiting room door for the passengers who were about to leave.

After I finished checking the ticket, I walked to the ship, and searched my bed number, and rested while texting Thomi.

"Hi Sister Thomi, I am now on board, leaving, tomorrow morning I have arrived at the port." I told Thomi in the text I sent.

"Yes El, be careful on the road and keep the spirit, do not forget to save your phone well not to be lost." Reply Brother Thomi to me via sms.

"Good sleep, brother." My brief reply to Brother Thomi

" Yes El" replied Thomi to me.

After I finished sending the message I kept my phone in the bag and I slept, after one night I passed in the boat, this morning I arrived at the port.
