Turning Point
ENAMEL
The sun is rising from its clash. Thin clouds that form cotton nets seem to withstand the heat to get to the earth but in fact still feels hot when touching the skin.
"Mbak Lin, this morning Agum gave mom money, is it payday?", asked Ranti's mother after taking a break from her road training.
"Oh that's not a salary ma'am, but loved by people" replied Lintang
"Once you've been helping people?", asked Ranti's mother
"Yes ma'am, Lintang is also surprised how many people do not give so much huh?" said Lintang
"Yes like that mbak, just think of it as sustenance" said Ranti
"If it continues like that, mas Agum can quickly get rich bu, hihhihihihi" continued Lintang while chuckling. Ranti's mother laughed too.
Drrrrttt drrrttt
The voice of the Lintang mobile phone sounded
Conversation via mobile**

"Honey, this is Mr. Yono. Mr. Yono is a partner working in the office" said Agum introduced Mr. Yono to his wife
"Lintang sir", Lintang replied while shaking Yono's hand
"Let's go, sir, let's go to the dining room. Mumpung is still hot food", continued Lintang welcome
The three of them headed to the dining room. There has been presented soto tripe complete with onion sambal, sweet soy sauce and lime.
Lintang took rice for Agum and Pak Yono, then they concocted their own tripe soto.
"Waaah it turns out your wife pinter cook also yes Gum, sotonya mantep really great", said Mr. Yono praising mascan Lintang. The praised feel great head😂
"I don't choose the wrong wife, sir?", asked Agum proudly as he glanced at his wife.
"This oath is very good Gum, I if possible right? Haahahaaha", said Mr. Yono while widened
"Please sir, or you want to take home can also, hihihihi", Lintang replied with a laugh.
Agum and Pak Yono also returned to focus on eating his lunch. The sparkling latitude saw two people in front of him so enthusiastically enjoying his cooking. Lintang felt the cooking science of her in-laws had decreased to her.
"Father nyaa!!!", said Agum while stroking his stomach.
"Mas, today can adek mother's place?", asked Lintang
"By honey, be careful" replied Agum. Latitude nodded.
Soon Agum also Yono sir said goodbye. Continue their work of delivering packages from one place to another. Not to forget Lintang brought one rantang soto tripe for Pak Yono.
"Your wife is perfect Gum, already beautiful, cool cook, good again the same people" said Mr. Yono while looking at the bushel brought by Lintang in the middle of their journey.
"Well that's what Latitude is like sir", replied Agum briefly
"May you take care of Gum", said Mr. Yono
"Aamiin sir", replied Agum
*******************
The latitude drives his motor matic towards his mother's house. Ten minutes on the way, he finally reached his mother's residence.
"Cross-country?" said Ratih's mother was a little surprised
"Tumben during the day you come here?", asked Ratih's mother
"Anything ma'am, Lintang just want to come here anyway, while looking for fresh air, hehe", he replied
"Yes, let's go in first" Ratih's mother ordered. They also entered the house.
The latitude spread her body over the sofa. He felt back the atmosphere of the house that he had not felt for several weeks because it was separated from his mother and sister.
"Friska hasn't come home yet ma'am?", asked Lintang still with the position of the fall.
"Not Lin, maybe soon" replied Ratih's mother while carrying chips and a glass of guava juice.
Not long after, a small child was seen entering the living room in a red and white uniform with hair ponytailed.
"Bak Latitude!!", cried Friska
Lintang smiled "Home back deck?"
"Udah. Mbak Lintang what, hehehe", asked Friska as she approached her brother.
"Bak didn't bring any deck. You get ready, we go to the minimarket in front of the road there, you can take any snacks", replied Lintang
"Horeee!!", cried the nine-year-old girl.
Friska hurried to change her uniform. Then ran after her brother in the living room
"Come on, I'm ready" Friska asked impatiently.
"Let's go!" exclamation Latitude anyway
******************
Arriving at the minimarket Friska directly run to the shelves that there are various types of snacks. Starting from chocolate bars, potato chips, cassava chips, chocolate candy, and all kinds of foods that are certainly popular with children the age of Friska.
Not to forget Lintang took eggs, instant noodles, cooking oil, wheat flour, sugar for supplies in rented as well as for his mother at home.
Lintang was so happy to see his sister excited when taking snacks that he liked. Not to forget she was grateful because by being Agum's wife, she could make her mother and sister happy too.
"You want an ice cream deck?", asked Lintang
"You must, will!", replied Friska enthusiastically
"Take gih, keep bringing here so that you can pay all" said Lintang while carrying his groceries in front of the cashier
Lintang completed the payment. Then he too Friska left the minimarket.
"Bak Lintang really have a lot of money, mas Agum is a rich man huh mbak?", asked Fiska plain in the middle of the trip
Latitude chuckles "Not deck, mas Agum aja kog ordinary people"
"But how can you buy a lot of gini?" asked Friska curious
"Udah do not need to ask a lot of deck, the important thing is that now you have a pinter school so that tomorrow can have a lot of money" replied Lintang. Friska nodded.
*********************
"Oh my God, what are you buying, so much?" said Ratih's mother saw the groceries carried by her two children.
"That's Friska bu's snack", replied Lintang
Ratih's mother just shook her head. Friska went into her room to take a nap.
"Lin, did Agum become a shaman?", asked Ratih's mother in between Lintang sifting through her shopping miles. Latitude surprised
"Where did you get the news?", asked Lintang curiously
"Many people say, Agum is often asked to help people who are related to such supernatural things" said Ratih's mother
The latitude breathes deeply. Indeed, in her deepest heart she also did not feel comfortable if her husband was called a shaman.
"Mom, not everyone who can know with supernatural things is called a shaman. Mas Agum is often asked to help the same people but Lintang guarantee that is done does not deviate from the religious sharia bu", replied Lintang explained
"Thank God then Lin, because here many people think Agum is a shaman" said Ratih's mother relieved
"Lintang believes mas Agum does not use something in doing it ma'am, meaning Lintang he does not use some kind of sesajen that" continued Lintang also reassured his mother.
Ratih's mother nodded in understanding. He was relieved to hear the explanation from his son. He does not care what others think, because they are entitled to their own thoughts.
