Mr. Malik bowed lethargic. His eyes glazed over, holding back the grief at the sight of Ira, his wife, and Kania, his only child. Construction efforts pioneered since college, forced out of business.
Mr. Malik read a letter from the bank. He can no longer afford to pay the bank. As its auspices, the house occupied with a heavy heart, taken by the bank. Not to mention, the debt to his colleagues. Actually, Mr. Malik has been trying to find a loan even with high interest. However, the loan amount is not able to cover the debt that has been due.
Mr. Malik regretted not believing the words of Mr. Ira, who forbade him from cooperating with Gito.
Gito, once considered a confidant of Mr. Malik. His right hand, carried away all the advantages of the road-making project.
"Try the contact again Gito. Who knows connected, "suggestion Bu Ira.
Mr. Malik took his phone. Repeatedly contacted Gito, but there was no answer.
Mr. Malik is crying. Grabbing his wife's hand, "I'm sorry, Mah. If I had heard you talk about Gito, this wouldn't be the story."
Mom hugged her husband. "Papa is not wrong. Papa is wrong. Patience, Pah. There must be a way out. "
Malik took a glass of water and drank it. Think hard.
"Your house, car, savings, and jewelry. Everything ludes. 10 billion. Oh God, what sin am I?! " said Mr. Malik pitched in despair.
"We were given only 2 days to vacate the house. I don't have any more money. Where are the three of us going! " shouted Mr. Malik.
Ira's mom is approaching Malik. Withstanding crying. Especially when looking at Kania, who was forced to suffer.
"Well, I still have 5 million. At least we're looking for a contract. Let it be simple, it's okay. The rest, we can try. Selling yellow rice, fried rice, nasi ubuk, or something. Don't despair, Pah, "advice Miss Ira.
Kania also cried to see the sight of his parents. His parents went bankrupt and became poor. Something that never crossed his mind or dreamed of. Moreover, Kania is famous 'tractors' by his campus friends. But he loved both his parents more. For Kania, her parents are everything.
"Well, we better listen to your advice. Mom's words and feelings are always right. We're looking for a contract. We trade small. It's okay to start from zero again. I want to help you, " said Kania.
Mr. Malik and Ms. Ira looked at Kania lovingly. Unexpectedly, her only daughter was such an adult. The two hugged Kania, crying together.
"Origin papa don't despair. As long as my mom and dad are my parents, I want to obey. Even if you have to leave this luxurious house. Even if you have to live in a rented house. Even if I had to quit college, " said Kania.
"Don't! " excited Mr. Malik.
"Love, you can't stop going to college, " said Miss Ira.
Kania shook her head. Refusing the advice of both parents.
"No, Pa. No, Ma. Sorry, I had to take a college break. Papa and Mama are hard. I can't afford my tuition fees. Sorry, I have to help Papa and Mama effort, " said Kania crying.
Mama hugged Kania's body. His hand rubbed Kania's head and kissed her forehead.
"I'm sorry, Kania. We had to make you like this, " said Ms. Ira.
Mr. Malik took a long breath. I don't know how many times he took a deep breath. Relieves anger and calms his heart and mind. He approached Bu Ira and Kania, "Then, we better get ready. Pack clothes and valuable papers. We move out tomorrow. "
