THREE MEN FROM THE VILLAGE

TPDD 186

Jamal thinks Selin will be angry. Jamal thinks Mr. Gustavo will fire him. Jamal thought Mbok Sum and the others would look down on Jamal. It turned out that after hearing what Jamal explained, making Jamal relieved.

"So that's the photo you told me about, Mal?" ask Selin. In fact, Selin just found out, the photo that Jamal had told him during the holidays with his two friends.

"Yes, Non. That's why I used to directly tell Non Selin, I'm afraid that Non Selin misunderstood again, continued to get angry," jamal's answer of course made a tanga mark on everyone at the dinner table except Selin.

"What's wrong, Mal?" ask Gustavo.

Jamal also told about the efforts of Sandra who asked her to be the woman's personal driver. Even for the sake of his obsession with Jamal, Sandra to lie will make Jamal a model and artist. Selin misunderstands because he thinks Jamal will accept Sandra's offer. What's more Jamal and Sandra twice sat together at the front campus cafe.

"God! Mrs Sandra did just that, Mal?" now Mbok Sum who asked with a hang face was very surprised. As Mbok Sum knows, Sandra is a good woman.

Although he used to leave Selin for work reasons, in fact during his time as his employer, Mbok Sum never saw the bad temper of the woman. And Mbok Sum only found out the other side of Sandra when she was caught cheating with Rio, her boyfriend Selin.

Jamal nodded. "Yes, Mbok. Maybe if it wasn't for remembering Non Selin, I'd have accepted it. Not bad, the salary offered is great."

Everyone at the dinner table was smiling and the mangosteen heard Jamal's honest answer and what it was.

"Tuh, Pa. Jamal asked for a raise," Selin said as he grimly glanced at Jamal.

Jamal was surprised to hear that. "No Sir. Not that I meant that. Ih Non Selin what the hell?"

"I'll just nyampein for you, for a big salary," Selin replied not to lose.

"Udah already, there will be time for Jamal to take a salary" said Gustavo mediate. "Keep, why did you refuse for Selin's sake? Isn't that a chance for you, Mal?"

"Yes I know, sir, but at that time Non Selin's condition was not good. She's alone. No family and friends. There is only me who is closest. Where I could and could leave Non Selin when it was so fragile," smoothly and without hesitation also did not intend to look for face, Jamal answered Gustavo's question as it was.

Of course Gustavo was moved by Jamal's concern for his son. Jamal yesterday's son who he just knew, but judging from his attitude, he was sincere to the child. As Gustavo knew, his entire family never cared about Jamal, given Selin's past.

Gustavo was well aware, what happened to Selin was his mistake in the past. It is even more likely that Selin will find it difficult to find a companion because of his past as well. Regret always comes behind. But at least, Gustavo managed to have a child of his own flesh and blood.

"It's too late, sir. School age has exceeded the limit," replied Jamal with a cry.

"It's never too late to study, Jamal. If you want, I'll call the teacher to guide you, if you can, then you can try work in my office, how?" all were shocked to hear Gustavo's offer.

"Seriously dad?" selin asked with a look of disbelief, as well as the question represented Jamal and the others.

"Seriously, did you see Papah joking?"

"Well! Just want to, Mal. Your chance is that" said Mbok Sum. All those who were there were equally supportive of Jamal to accept Gustavo's offer.

"Ouch, Sir. I don't feel good" said Jamal.

"Not good why?" Selin asked. "This is your chance to change your fate. Who can change your fate, Mama Doang? Papa can too. Are you really hoping to work with your mom?"

Jamal gasped at the slur from Selin. "Yes that's not what I mean, Non. Later if I work in the office, who's taking Non Selin?"

Again Gustavo was stunned by Jamal's words. He even commented on the smile of seeing Jamal's concern for his son.

"Don't worry, you can still be Selin's driver, Mal," replied Gustavo.

"Really, Mister?" Gustavo nodded. "Alright, I accept Mr.'s offer."

"Good."
