CHAPTER 7B

"Guide, what's left of the schedule?"

Juna just finished a business lunch with the head of one of the companies that will supply raw materials in the construction of the factory. Back down while enjoying his afternoon coffee at one of the luxury restaurants in Pekalongan area.

"Everything is almost done, faster than expected. Only stay friendly events only with local residents around the construction site. The local Lurah has been coordinating the residents, and from the news I heard they welcomed the enthusiastic construction of the factory. Of course there are demands in it. Asking to be given a job ration in our new factory later," explained Pandu who then showed his cellphone screen. On the screen is a message from Pak lurah concerned.

His business trip this time was quite launched and facilitated. Originally estimated to be one week, it turns out that within three days the crucial schedule has been passed. Juna and Pandu are a solid unit. Juna's sharp instincts to read opportunities combined with the ability of the Guide who thoroughly examine each task is also deft.

"Hm ...."

Juna muttered and nodded listening. This sort of thing he had expected before. This happens in every company or factory. The surrounding residents must demand to be given a job and Juna also understands their wishes. It does not deny the fact that symbiotic mutualism is necessary here. All parties should benefit equally.

"Give forty percent of employment opportunities to local residents. But for the requirements never saggy. Certain criteria remain in place, only those that qualify are accepted. I do not want the mobility of work to be not optimal because it puts forward demands, worried about the quality of the fabric that will not match expectations if the criteria are too loose. When is the friendly event?"

"This afternoon, sir. At sixteen."

The short needle of a European-made luxury watch coiled around his left wrist pointed to the number one. Juna rubbed his chin. It looks like I'm thinking about something.

"Guide, for a friendly event can you handle it yourself? If you are able and successfully run the task this time, I will add your monthly bonus," said Juna who then closed the macbook in front of him and began to improve.

"I want to go home first, there's urgent business. Once your work here is done, one of the company's drivers will be assigned to pick you up. I'm counting on you." Juna patted Pandu on the shoulder and then left.

Pandu was stunned for a moment, staring at Juna's back who was away. "Tumben the boss suddenly wants to go home soon? Or maybe because you have a wife waiting at home? Hey, this single soul is thrashing!" his murmur languished while stroking the chest.

Anggi put his mother's home certificate in the bag before entering the treatment room. A while ago he had just finished paying Ayu's debts. After a long debate yesterday, Anggi decided to pay all his brother's debts. His mother must have gotten sick, if suddenly the building full of memories was no longer owned.

Anggi is willing to pay on condition that the home certificate be handed to him, kept by him. Fearing that Ayu would sell it secretly again. Anggi sold some jewelry given by the Juna family during the wedding as a source of payment funds. Initially the jewelry will be used as capital to open a cafe.

Anggi does not know until when he is able to survive in this toxic marriage circle. If there is no reason to stay, then leaving is definitely an option. For this reason, he twisted the brain to take anticipatory steps, intending to open his own business to connect life later. Don't want to waste it while you have the chance. But now, his desire must be postponed first, only one word that is 'patience' is echoed by the contents of his head.

He took a breath and tried to put on a sweet look before pushing the door of his mother's nursery.

"I'm coming, Mom."
