Become Him
The departure of someone

On the back porch Rachel and Ivana were accompanying Brandon to play. Various toys are scattered on the floor. At the same time, Ivana also reads Rachel's contract work for an ad that will star her sister-in-law.

“Contract is good Chel, do not harm any of the parties.” That was the first comment Ivana made after she finished reading the contract.

“If the public service ad is formal and usually during the promotion program is still valid in a company, it will definitely continue to be up. Just yes, the royalties are not as big as commercial ads. Because the market that he wants to take is different.”

“But this is good, make a stepping stone. After all, the issue about the world's trash is now trending, many parties are still doing campaigns on this issue, so it will definitely be the spotlight of many parties. The promotion platform is also good, on our famous sites and there is one foreign site.”

“I'm sure this will be a success if the packaging is good.” Describe Ivana with details.

“Iya brother, I also see the details immediately feel like his campaign team, not only as a contract party. Yes I hope anyway, I can contribute more to this ad, so the message is really delivered.” Timpal Rachel is hopeful.

“That's a good capital Chel, so later you work not only to fulfill the contract. This will be a foreign site as well, if you are successful, you can be in the same lyrics of foreign parties. Just have to be careful, the character of people is different. There can be parties who just want to use.”

“My advice anyway, besides you have a manager, you also have to have a lawyer. Because the higher the tree, the stronger the wind. Want it a breeze or a hurricane.”

“So, I thought so too. Just for the matter of the lawyer, I have no shadow. I think I should have a discussion first with my manager. So that you do not choose wrong.”

“Yes, that's it. Whatever your decision, talk to the manager first, so that you not only deket professionally, but also personally.”

“Iya brother, thanks for the suggestion.”

“Sure! I'm proud of you Chel. Come on gas, do not saggy.” Ivana embraced Rachel warmly. He rubbed Rachel's arm to encourage her.

Rachel smilingly got a very meaningful boost from Ivana.

"Chel, by the way, you know Calvin, don't you?" ask Ivana suddenly.

"Calvin's? Who's the CEO of the advertising company?" Rachel asked back.

Ivana nodded.

"Know, well-known. She's Ruby's best friend since High School. Why brother?"

Rachel recalls meeting Calvin at Nata's office this afternoon. I don't know what the man did in his office.

"So, I told him to collaborate on a new cluster ad. His people have come but the same Nata was told to wait a long time. As soon as the meeting date brought the artist, he immediately wanted to meet. That's why I was wondering if Nata ever met Calvin, because Calvin said he knew you." Ivana with a face full of curiosity.

"Yes, Nata met Calvin when I came home from school." I'm Rachel.

"Oh pantesan, so that's the alesan." Instead of being angry, Ivana smiled. It is fitting that Nata urgently when he found out that Ivana invited Calvin's company to become a partner.

"If you think so, Nata is not a professional. Because Calvin knows you, he does not want to cooperate with his company. I'm a kid."

"I'm instead co-operating with Calvin's company rather than the same artist, Marsya's many styles. You want it, Marsya who came here. I'm so excited that I'm the same woman. So pretty." Ivana's grunts don't like it.

Rachel just fell silent, now she understood why Calvin was in Nata's office and why Nata could look fun talking to people who came with Marsya. Apparently Nata didn't lie about Marsya.

A second later, he just remembered that he gave a paper bag containing food and cashing a cell phone to Calvin.

"Sister, didn't you talk to Calvin?" Rachel became curious about the fate of the item.

"For a long time, the Nata people will chase you first."

Rachel nodded weakly. He remembered his misunderstanding with Nata this afternoon. After the incident at the rooftop, Nata did drive him to get a taxi in the lobby while Nata returned to work. Calvin waited a long time.

"So Calvin's nitipin paperbag isn't sis?" rachel asked.

"Yes, ada. It was also taken directly by Nata. I ask you not to. He was deliberately arrogant in front of Calvin. I don't know what they are talking about. What is clear, when I go home from the office I see Nata using cashing hp gemoy. Hahahahahha..is it from you huh?"

Ivana laughed back and forth remembering her sister's behavior this afternoon. Ivana sees clearly that Nata seems to want to show that everything Rachel gives is hers.

"Hehehe... Yes brother." Rachel was embarrassed. She has not seen Nata's phone since her husband came home, not sure what Nata's phone looks like using the cashing couple she bought.

In the middle of their chatter, a rowdy sound came from the kitchen that caught the attention of Rachel and Ivana.

“Do not despair. You said you needed this job. Why leave now?” tuti's voice was clearly heard by Rachel.

“What is a sis?” Rachel immediately went in and checked what was happening.

“Kayak voice bi Tuti.” Ivana followed from behind.

They immediately headed for the kitchen, as long as the noise was heard.

“But I want to go home. I don't want to work here anymore.” This time the voice of Ima was heard.

“What is this?” ivana asked as she looked at Ima who was crying while carrying a large backpack in her hand. Her face looked terrified as Ivana and Rachel approached.

“This is non, Ima wants to go home he said. Want to stop working.” Terang Tuti's.

“Why? You're being scolded mamah?” surmise Ivana.

“Iyaa, I know you want to stop. But love me the reason. Didn't you say that you really need this job? Why do you suddenly want to stop?” cerca Ivana's.

Ima did not chimed in, he could only cry a mouthful.

“Mba Ima, here sit first.” Take Rachel, who sits Ima in a chair in the kitchen.

Doubtful Ima was sitting there. Rachel looked at Ima carefully. Somehow he felt that Ima was not trembling in fear of him and Ivana, but something else.

“Drink first.”

Rachel gave Ima a glass of water to calm this girl down. He noticed Ima starting from her clothes that were torn on the shoulder, her hair was a little messy and the contents of the backpack were pinned at the end of the zipper.

Rachel could imagine that Ima put her things in such a hurry and tremble as now.

“Thank you non.” Said Ima while gripping the glass firmly with both hands.

“Sama-sama. How, mba Ima has started to calm down?” Rachel asked back. He tries to calm down even though Ivana looks upset to see Ima who asks permission to stop.

Ima nodded small. “Already.” His voice was no longer trembling like that.

“Tuti, you first cement Brandon.” Decree Ivana. He still wanted to persuade Ima not to stop. Because looking for ART in today's times is very difficult.

“Good non.” Tuti was gone soon.

“If you have calmed down, mba Ima dong story why would you want to stop? Is there anything that makes Ima uncomfortable?” Rachel asked carefully.

Instead of answering, Ima fell down and cried. “I want to go home non. I miss my mother.” Her speech stammered.

“Ssttt... yaaa can...” Rachel rubbed Ima's shoulders to calm the young woman.

“You if you want to go home first, you can. But come back here later. Don't suddenly stop kayaking now.” Ivana was getting upset. Ivana and Rachel are different.

“Sorry non, but I can't. I want to go home.” Ima remained firm.

“Why? Is there an attitude of me or mamah that hurts you?” Ivana still can't take it.

Ima shakes. He continued to bow without daring to look at Ivana or Rachel.

“Non Ivana and non Rachel, nice people. I am so grateful to be working here. Madame Martha is also firm, still good with me. But I don't want to work anymore. I want to nemenin my mother only in kampung.” Ema can not be denied. It seems like the decision is already unanimous.

“Astyria...” Ivana's murmuring started the migraine. After this he must surely meet with the babble of his mother and the words of the command that Martha gave to Rachel.

But what can be done, Ivana also can not hold people who are not willing to work with him.

“Yes, wait a minute. I'll get you your last salary.” Ivana eventually broke up. He went to his room to get money.

Only Rachel and Ima were left sitting side by side in the chair. Rachel still noticed Ima who was timidly looking at her.

“Mba Ima, mba Ima anyone wants to convey to me not before mba Ima go?” rachel asked carefully. He felt that something was wrong with Ima's sudden decision.

Ima shook her head small. “I just want to say thanks to non Rachel because it is not very good with me. Thanks for my non-equal attention. I hope, non will always be fine. Take care of yourself in this house. Sorry if I was wrong.” Speak Ima while sobbing.

Rachel doesn't chim. He chose to embrace Ima tightly. This young girl has helped Brandon a lot, he will definitely lose a lot.

Unintentionally, the corner of Rachel's eyes sees a bluish jejas on Ima's back. He slightly loosened his embrace and peered inside the collar of Ima's shirt. Apparently in addition to bluish jejas that resemble bruises, there are also thin wounds on the back of Ima.

Rachel desperately wanted to ask but she felt that her current condition was not right. Rachel broke her embrace for a moment. He looked at Ima who was bowed before him.

“Mba Ima, can I ask her hp mba Ima no? Who knows if we can meet outside? We chat and exchange news.” Persuade Rachel.

“Bby non.” Ima Sahut. With trembling hands he took out a flat object from inside his pocket. The phone screen was slightly cracked at the end.

His tiny fingers pressed down on the keypad and searched for his own number that he did not remember.

“This is my number non.” Ima shows her phone screen to Rachel. Rachel immediately recorded the number.

“Still yes mba. I hope, if later I call mba Ima, mba Ima still want to talk to me. That's my number.” Rachel briefly called out Ima's number through her phone.

“Iya non, thanks.” Said Ima who put her phone back in her pocket.

Seeing Ima's trembling body, Rachel took off the cardigan she was wearing and put it on Ima.

“Mba Ima don't get cold ya.” His message.

“Thank you non.” Again, just a thank you note that Ima said.

And until now, Rachel does not know for sure why Ima stopped working in this house. I don't know what conditions make this cheerful young face so embarrassed and frightened that it is always downcast. Maybe one day Rachel can find out and hope that after getting out of this house, Ima's life is even better.
