WHEN I FELL IN LOVE
Chapter 31
After the commotion in the brifing room, the maki from Mr. Zulkarnain, getting SP3, resignation, and separation from co-workers, it was time for me to go home, and tell my family, my family, if I was an unemployed person now. This is the most complicated part of all the repercussions caused by the sudden resignation.
All the way from the office to the house, my mind was constantly using the best words, which I would pass on to my mother, the only person in the house, at this hour.
"Mom, I just resigned from the company. Yes .. No matter, there was a mismatch between myself and my boss, and that mismatch almost triggered us to smite each other this morning." Not delicious! I sound like a boy from a wealthy family, who works just to gain experience. Because in the future, my father has prepared a company for me, so I can look for trouble with anyone, and resign at any time.
What if, "me and Jayadi almost ganged up on our supervisor for a less than pleasant behavior?" Ah, that's also not nice to hear, because my mother could have been happy, if Jayadi and I were typical childish men, who solved the problem with violence.
Or, what if I tell you the truth? But it's going to raise a lot of questions about why my mother would be. Why doesn't Jayadi like Erwin? Because Erwin is a wife-puncher, and Jayadi hates it. Why don't you like Erwin? Because I like Lela, and Erwin does too. Why didn't you confess your love to Lela? Because I was too afraid to say it. Why is my son so cowardly in love? Because your son is a loser, ma'am.
And so I decided not to put words together, because it made me dizzy myself. I just go home, and I'll face questions from my mom with spontaneous answers, like blues guitarists playing on stage, who often play the tune as they please, but still in the hearts of his listeners.
A middle-aged woman wearing a red negligee with flowers came out of the house when I just parked my motorcycle on the terrace. This woman was the one who always forgave all my mistakes, even before I was born in the World. He also prayed for me before his bedtime, and the first person in the world who would cry, if something bad happened to me. He could feel anger, and my arms. Feeling tired, and breaking my heart. Offended, when I was insulted, and happy, when I was in puja. That woman is my mother.
Her warm smile greeted me when I had just opened my helmet, then looked at her face. There was no suspicion at all on her pretty face, why I came home so early.
Then when I said, “So there's a problem in the office.“
“Mom already knows. Jayadi called Fitri to tell him everything, and Fitri told Mom,“ she replied, calm down, and win me over.
And once again I was saved by Jayadi. I didn't have to bother explaining the commotion in the office to my mother.
