Turning Point

NINETY FOUR

Surabaya, 6 months later....

The tiny four-month-old baby was seen sound asleep in the sling of a man with a pacifier still attached to his small lips. Slowly, the man placed the baby in his cradle on the small mattress in his bed. After that he picked up the former diapers that were still scattered on the floor of the room, then threw them into the trash. And he continued by cleaning the room to make it look neater.

"Mas, ask for money dong, make it to the salon. I want creambath, manicure, pedicure, same facial!", said a woman who suddenly approached the man.

The man scrunched his forehead. "Didn't I give you money two weeks ago to go to the salon?".

The woman slightly sneered. "You forget that I have to go to the salon every two weeks?".

The man remained silent, not giving any answer.

"Udah, where is the money, hunt later in the day!!", he continued with a slightly pushy tone.

Eventually the man gave up. He took the wallet in his pants pocket. Then slowly he opened it. His eyes were wide because in the wallet there were only three pieces of money a hundred thousand. He took a sheet and gave it to the woman.

"What is this mas?!, how much money is enough!!", he shouted loudly.

The man breathed a rough breath. "Wear that first, tomorrow when I get paid, I give you again".

The woman looked at the man with a lazy look. "Yes, beware that you're lying!".

Only a nod of the head was answered by the man. He then took his bag and sauntered away leaving the room. The man then sat on the edge of the bed, holding his head that felt a little dizzy.

The man breathed a rough breath. He felt so tired today. On holidays like this, even he could not relax. He was more busy with homework such as sweeping, mopping, washing because the woman who currently lives with him did not want to do the job, because he said he could make his skin not smooth anymore.

Yes, they are Agum and Reni. Currently they live in a house owned by Agum in Surabaya, which used to be his residence with his parents. Four months ago, Reni gave birth to a son whom she named Kevin.

Until now Reni also did not know if Agum only as a cleaning service in his office. The cost of living in Surabaya is higher than in Jogja, making him turn his brain to find another job in order to meet the needs of his daily life. Finally he chose to become an online motorcycle driver as a side job.

Agum then laid her body beside the tiny baby. He looked at the baby's face. Without feeling her tears dripping, I don't know what was on her mind.

Oeekkk.....

The typical sound of a baby breaking the silence of midnight. Reni who was next to her son did not bully at all, she even looked so good in her sleep. Agum who was in the next room who heard the sound of crying immediately rushed to his son's room to calm him down.

The next room?, did Agum and Reni sleep separately. Since they moved to Surabaya, Agum has never touched Reni at all. It was indeed Agum's will, that he was unwilling to do anything related to physical contact with Reni. Right now, he was simply positioning himself as a man in charge of the child that Reni had born.

What about Reni?, yeah she doesn't seem to be bothered about it. For him the most important thing is that Agum can fulfill all his wishes. From shopping, to salons, good eating, holidays, and so forth.

Agum lifts Kevin's body.

"Ren, get up!!, look, your son is thirsty, he asked for milk!!", said Agum as he shook Reni's body which looked so good.

Reni wriggling. "Hoooaaaammm, what the hell mas!!, have you told the child to diem, do not see if I sleep again? , just disturb!!"

"Where to make Ren's milk, you don't see what horrors he's crying like gini?".

"Haduuhhh already mas, you are there who make milk, I am tired!!", shouted Reni then continued his sleep.

Agum just shook his head looking at Reni's attitude. He then rushed to the kitchen holding Kevin, who was still crying, to make milk for him. He opened the can of milk, he took a few spoons of milk powder and he put it in the pacifier.

"Ssttt. ssttt.. sstttt calm down, son, this father again makes milk for you, after this you bob again yes", said Agum while pouring warm water into the pacifier.

As Agum tried to calm his son, the sound of the door being knocked. Agum rushed to the living room to open the door.

"Mas Danang, the clock is coming here?", asked Agum when he saw Danang was already at his door.

Danang frowned looking at Agum who was like a very hassle holding Kevin. "From my house Kevin's cry was clear, why did he cry like this?".

Agum smiled little. "It's okay, I'm just thirsty".

Agum walked into the living room followed by Danang behind him. Then they sat in the living room chair.

"Where is the mother?", asked Danang.

"Sleep mas!".

"I don't want to make a fuss with Reni mas. I know for myself right, Reni how?", said Agum as he stared fixedly at the baby in his carrier.

"Why are you so weak like this Gum?, why can't you be strict with Reni?", said Danang slightly anxious with Agum's attitude.

Agum smiled bitterly. "Entah mas. I have actually lost my source of life".

"You mean?"

Agum looked at the wall in front of him blankly. "Lintang and Nana are the source of my life, and now that I have lost them, it is the same as I have no life in this world. Right now I'm still holding on just as a form of responsibility to Kevin. So I don't want to make trouble with Reni. Whatever he wants to do, I don't care".

Danang was stunned to hear Agum's words. It turned out that to this day, he was still living in that regret. And Danang was a little pity with the current state of Agum, he was busy working as a cleaning service, after which he continued to be an online motorcycle taxi driver, and when he got home, he continued, he was busy taking care of Kevin and homework.

"Yes, such as you are having trouble taking care of Kevin, you can ask Nunik to change to look after Kevin" said Danang.

Agum smile. "Thank you very much. Sorry, I've been too much trouble until the same time as mbak Nunik".

***

Reni with a skirt over her knees and a tight white shirt was seen walking into the office where Agum worked. Her hair was left unraveled which made a sexy impression for anyone who saw her.

After leaving Kevin at Danang's house, he intends to go to Agum's office to ask for money. Today he is so eager to go shopping, because for a long time he did not spoil the eyes of buying branded goods in the mall.

This was the first time Reni had set foot in Agum's office. During this time, Agum forbids Reni to meet him in the office, Reni does not know the reason. But today his desire to shop so hot, he finally came to Agum's office to ask for money.

"Sir, Agum sir is there?", asked Reni to a woman who is customer service at Agum's office.

The woman looked at Reni from toe to head with a cynical look. "Sir Agum?, sir Agum cleaning service means?".

Reni was a little surprised. "How long has this mother been working here?, cook doesn't know who my husband is?". Reni breathed a rough breath. "My husband's the chief operational officer here!!".

"I'm sorry, you're wrong. In this office called Mr. Agum, he works as a cleaning service, not as the head of operations".

Reni shook her head while smiling cynically. "This brat really doesn't know manners. Cook the lead in say cleaning service!!".

"But ma'am, the leader in kan________"

"What is this, how is this fuss?!", prune a man who looks handsome and handsome in a work suit that wraps his body.

Reni and customer service immediately set their eyes on the man. And Reni's eyes widened to see there was a man who looked so handsome in front of her at this moment.

"Sorry sir, this mother is looking for her husband named Mr. Agum".

"Then?", asked the man.

"This mother insists on saying that Mr. Agum is the head of operations here, even though the head of operations in this office is the father!".

The man smiled faintly at Reni. He extended his hand towards Reni. "I'm Jonas, I'm the head of operations here!".

Reni's eyes were rounded. Two things surprised him. The first he knew if Agum was not the chief of operations here the second he was a little surprised the handsome man in front of him invited him to shake hands.

Reni returned the handshake of the man named Jonas. Suddenly though....

"Mas Agum????!!!!", he said with wide eyes to see the man behind Jonas' back who was carrying cleaning tools in his hands.

Agum was no less surprised. "R-Reni??!!!!"
