The Widow of One Billion
Part 3
Parida went by taxi, but before going to her destination, stopped by a jewelry store to sell her mother's heritage necklace.
Once at the jewelry store, he handed her a necklace that actually meant a lot to him, to be sold.
"Sir, about how good is it, this necklace if I sell?” Parida asked the shop owner.
"Before awhile ma'am, I see,” said the store owner as he examined the jewelry given to her from Parida's hands. “Maybe around .. 500 million, Mom.
"Can't it be more, sir?” Tanya Parida with a wrinkled face.
"That's the highest price, ma'am," said the store owner again, still looking at the jewelry in his hand.
"Yes, I sold the necklace." Parida handed over her necklace to the shop owner.
Not too long ago, Parida already holds the money from the sale of his necklace. After that, he immediately went to his original destination.
After traveling for about 20 minutes, he finally arrived at a house.
Parida stood in front of the house while knocking on the door, but there was no answer yet.
After waiting long enough, then the door opened and the face that poked from behind the door was very tangled and messy. However, he soon realized that his former in-laws were currently standing at the door of his house.
"Excuse me, Mira, can we talk for a minute?”
Parida to Mira.
"Sorry madam, I'm leaving for the office soon and now not ready,” in a flat tone, Mira answered her mother-in-law's request first.
"Mir, maybe my husband's words hurt you a lot, I'm sorry, for all that.” Parida said firmly.
With a sad look Parida looked at Mira.
"I'm asking for time, Mir! Not long, five minutes only.”
"Please mistress enter first,” said Mira and invited Parida to enter.
"Thank you,” Parida said, stepping in and sitting on the sofa in the living room of Mira's house.
After they sat facing each other, Parida took a brown envelope from her bag.
"Mir, This might be enough to pay for the treatment costs Cucuku,” he said in a soft voice, then he again said, “sorry for yesterday.”
"Thank you, Madam .. but sorry, I paid my child's treatment and don't need money from Madam anymore.” Mira also spoke with a cynical smile, assuming the attitude of her former in-laws was too late.
“And later at noon at two noon will be operated,” said Mira after a moment of silence.
“Sorry, Madam, now I have to prepare to leave for the office, If there is nothing to talk about again, please Mistress get out of this house.” Mira said again while standing up.
Parida also stood up, with a sad face pleading with Mira, “Can I see My Grandchild in the hospital, sekang?”
"It's not that I don't allow the Madam to come there, but I'm worried.What if Mr. Basrie finds out the Madam is seeing us, It's not just you who's in trouble but, we are too!, it's not just you who're in trouble!,Do you still remember what happened before, he was willing to tell people just to burn our house?” Mira said while holding tightness in the chest.
“It's been quite Madam, our suffering all this time and sorry also for my presence yesterday in your home. At first I was hoping that there was a little bit of Mr. Basrie's empathy for my son, given that he is also his Grandson... Turns out I've been wrong to set foot in your home.” Mira continued to talk about what she had been saying all along.
"Sorry ...” that's all that said from Parida's lips, while the look in his eyes hinted at deep regret.
"No need to apologize Madam, it's not your fault, but it's My fault. Always hoped that you would all accept our presence after the death of Zay's father. It turned out to be just a dream.”
Mira was silent for a moment, took a breath and said again.
“All always think that I killed Jul and Zay son of the unlucky bearer, ah .. That's right!”
"I never thought like that, even I really want your presence, want to see the growth and development of Zay, but what power," Parida refuted mira's words
"I also don't have the strength to go against his father Jul.” Parida also spoke in a trembling tone and held back tears.
Parida approached Mira and hugged her, Finally they hugged each other while crying.
Parida stroked Mira's back, saying, “forget all that has happened from today, I promise to strive to always be there when you need it, Even if it should be against my Husband.”Parida said while trying to make Mira calm down a little
"There is no need for you to do that Madam,” Mira parsed their embrace, while looking at the face of Parida who is no longer young. For Mira this was the first time she was in the arms of her mother-in-law.
Is this a mother's embrace? His inner.
"Jul .. Now your mother comes to our house, and that's a promise you often say to me, May you be happy in nature.” Inner Mira as if her heart was smiling at her late husband.
"Mrs, sorry ... I'm getting ready first, I'll be going to the office soon.” Mira said that to commemorate her in-laws to leave immediately.
“Don't call me Madam, from now on call Mama like Jul called me, Mama ..” Parida said with a warm smile.
"Good Mistress,” Mira said in a stammered tone, “Eh, Mama.”
"Can Mama get your mobile number? Tomorrow Mama will come again to see Zay. Tell him, his grandmother misses him so much!”
After Parida's departure, Mira was preparing to leave for the office, considering that she worked at the company there had not been a week.
Afraid something might happen, If he gets fired, where else should he find work, with the status of a widow? Maybe many companies will reject it, citing fear of not being able to work well.
After arriving at the office, Mira was immediately greeted by the secretary of the big boss .
"Bu Mira, you've been waiting in Mr. Jack's room" said the secretary.
"Well,” Mira answered briefly, as she passed leaving the secretary.
Arriving at the door of the CEO's room, he knocked on the door.
Suddenly the door opened from the inside and a voice sounded, typical of an authoritative adult man, “Please enter Madam.”
Mira also stepped foot towards the CEO's desk.
"Sorry Sir, did you call me?” Mira began to speak up, after being in front of her leader.
"What time is it?” Jack asks Mira, even Jack is reluctant to see Mira. He spoke with his back to himself.
"Hour Ninety forty-five minutes, Sir.” Mira answered loudly.
"Good if you know, that means you're five minutes late. So, don't think after last night you could just come to the office!
"And one more thing, you've lied to this company, that you're still down, but it turns out you already have a child!” jack said as he turned his back.
"On all your lies, forced I—“ Jack paused his talk.
"Will I be fired, sir?” Mira spoke in a resigned tone but worried about her fate this time.
"What do you want?” Jack turned his body and this time looked towards Mira, with his sharp gaze.
"I will accept all the decisions of the Father, after all, this company belongs to Mr.”Reply Mira, with a faint smile.
"I just want to punish you. Look it! Complete all blueprints for the construction of tourist attractions in Belitung, within three days. If not, then prepare to make a resignation letter!” said Jack again.
"Well sir, I'll do it, as soon as.” Mira said, in her limp tone.
“If there's nothing else to talk about, I'm sorry, Sir,” Mira said then, get out of the room after Jack nodded.
