BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 57: QUESTIONING THE EFFORT

    "Two days of overtime anyway, Mas ...? What is broken ...?" ask Rina when her husband comes home.

    "Yes, Rin .... There's a lot to fix. In fact some tools are damaged and must be replaced." replied Podin who certainly lied to his second wife sir, Rina. Podin did nothing. Two days and two nights he just spoiled in bed with Maya. Surely Podin should not go again by Maya, because his newly pregnant wife needs to make out with Podin.

    "Now, is everything all right?" ask Rina again.

    "It .... Now we are tired .... Uachm ..." answered Podin who immediately yawned. Signs sleepy. Yes, of course Podin is very tired, after two days and two nights with Maya. Like that, admitting him fixed the karaoke equipment.

    "Yes .., there sleep first .... Let's not sleepy." so said Rina who did not know the behavior of Podin.

    "Yes .... Uachm ..." replied Podin who again yawned, showing that he was very sleepy.

    Finally, Podin fell asleep in his sleep. While Rina, back at the Bu Hendro stall, continues to help serve the buyers at the food stall.

    Till night. After Rina came home from Bu Hendro's shop, Podin had not yet awakened. Of course he was so sleepy after two days and two nights of fighting without sleep. And forced, Rina woke up her husband, to have dinner first.

    "Mas .... Mr. Podin .... Wake up, Mas ..." said Rina while shaking her husband's body.

    "Yes .... What's up ...?" said Podin who was still sleepy.

    "Eat first .... Let her stomach fill up .... Let's not catch a cold .... This is ..., be fed by Ms. Hendro .... Come, wake .... Eat with me." said Rina who had prepared her meal at the dinner table.

    "Yes .... Uachm .... It's so tired ...." Podin wakes up, yawning and wriggling.

    "Work doesn't take time .... Mbok yes if the work is not overtime without sleep. If overtime without sleep, it must be sleepy .... Must've tired. Well, if you are sleepy, tired, driving is also a danger, Mas." said Rina to Podin who of course also worried about the state of her husband who drives a car from work to his rented house.

    "Yes .." said Podin who was already sitting on the chair, and sipped a warm tea.

    "If in a tired and sleepy condition, it is dangerous .... It could be an accident on the highway." added Rina who while preparing rice on a plate,

    "Yes, Rina .... How else .... I also need to finish the job first. Because it is related to the condition of karaoke facilities that exist in my workplace. If I do not finish immediately, the company will also lose, the company can not earn income. If you can't make money, there's no money, you can't pay employees." so answered Podin to his wife who certainly wanted to tell that his work was needed to immediately improve the condition of the karaoke place where he claimed to work as a technician there.

    "Yes, I understand. But at least Mas Podin can for a while sleep first at work. Then, later when it is healthy, it is not sleepy, it has lost its tiredness and fatigue, then Mas Podin came home.

    "Are you not angry with me ...? If I go home for days, how will Rina?" so said Podin who pretended to be nice to his wife who thought it was still the honeymoon.

    "Yes not, is ..., Mas .... If Mas Podin was to tell, if Mas Podin was to give word, if Mas Podin said, I would be fine too. I allow .... Rather than like this, the condition of Mas Podin who is tired and sleepy, it is very dangerous to drive a car, Mas Bodin." so said Rina who of course he did propose the best to her husband, who was the best, because indeed Rina is an innocent woman who never messed around. Podin knows he's a good guy. And Rina always accepted the reality and always accepted the reasons from her husband.

    "Yes .... I'm sorry, Rina ..... I didn't mean to be like that. But I also take care of your feelings." so said Podin who could always reason and look for words to conquer the heart of Rina, in order to be compassionate to him.

    "Yes, Mas .... But next time be careful. I'm it's okay. The important thing is that we are all safe" said Rina who was still kind to Podin.

    "Oh yes, Rin .... I want to talk ..." said Podin while eating.

    "Speak what, Mas?" ask Rina.

    "Come, Rin .... Frankly, with my condition getting older, I was actually tired of working at night." odin said to Rina who was still enjoying Bu Hendro's cooking given to Rina for dinner with her husband.

    "What is it, Mas ...? So what's it going with Podin?" ask her husband.

    "I've thought many times, Rin ..., I want to quit my job at the entertainment place ..." said Podin to his wife.

    "Huh ...?! So, Mas Podin, what's the job?" ask his wife who is surprised.

    "I want to be independent" said Podin.

    "What do you mean by Podin?" asked the confused Rina.

    "What if for example we have our own business ...? Yes, I will have a little money from my work .... I have an intention, I have a plan to ask you to buy a small house, but .., yes it should not be in the middle of the city like this, Rin. Just on the outskirts. In the middle of the city, it is expensive. Well, I want what if we for example buy a house, we continue to open a stall in the house ...? You are already a pinter, have been taught by Bu Hendro to become a food stall trader .... Well, we try to open our own food stall" said Podin to Rina, who certainly gave a thought to open the heart of Rina by trying alone.

    "Indeed Mas Podin can sell food stalls like Bu Hendro?" ask Rina.

    "Yes, Mas .... But if for example we buy a house, we continue to open a food stall, it's a big model you know, Mas .... Is Mas Podin capable of that?" ask Rina who of course also thinks about the cost of the problem that will be incurred if they have to open their own business.

    "Yes .., hopefully my savings are enough, Rin .... If you only buy a house in the suburbs and open a business such as a food stall, or maybe a grocery stall, it could be .." replied Podin.

    "Terus ..., the plan when would Mas Podin open the kayak business?" ask wife.

    "If you agree, I'll quit my job, and find a house on the edge of town as soon as possible, Rin .... If I could in this week, I would try to find a house" replied Podin.

    "But, Mas .., I feel sorry for Ms. Hendro .... Later if we leave, continue to be a servant in Bu Hendro's place who? Who will help Mrs Hendro? Who will be the buyers?" asked Rina who of course also thought that if she went from Bu Hendro's place, surely Bu Hendro would object because he had no more servants.

    "That's right, Rin .... But what I want to tell you, do you also want to just be a waiter constantly at the place of Mrs Hendro? Don't you want to move forward and earn more? Do you not want to have your own business, so you will at least be rich like Bu Hendro? And at least, if we have our own business, I can gather you every day. Because I'll help you and I won't work anywhere else, and won't go every night. I'm tired, Rin .... I'm here if you go to night, work night, it feels sleepy right, Rin ..." so said Podin to his wife Rina, who of course Podin also wanted to invite Rina entrepreneurship.

    Actually, Podin wanted to invite Rina to run away from the reality of her life, so as not to be chased by Maya. Even if he remembered Isti, his first wife, who had given him four children, and now his son was only three, because Eko, his first son had died hit by a truck and lost his head, He was happier with his rightful wife than Maya. Living with Isti, to be invited to trouble in poverty. But living with Maya, always required to give money and wealth. And now, after Podin met Rina, married to Rina, a widowed woman who had no children, Rina was more concerned with Podin. Lina never sued. Even Rina always asks about her husband's financial situation if Podin wants to buy something. Rina is not a female matre. That is why, now Podin trying to make Rina happy, in exchange for his previous wives.

    "Yes, Bang .... Tomorrow Rina will consult with Bu Hendro. About Bu Hendro his opinion how. Whether Bu Hendra agrees, or maybe there are suggestions from Bu Hendro that we can use to remember the best." so said Rina who certainly does not want to forget the services of Bu Hendro who has been following Rina long enough. And at least, this Rina was already considered as her own son by Bu Hendro. Even if Lebaran was, Rina was given many parcels, even bought clothes recently. And also if Rina comes home, must be brought all kinds of souvenirs for her parents and relatives.

    "Ah .., right like that, Rina .... So you still have to convey this matter to Bu Hendro. We also want to know, about enter what will be given by Bu Hendro to us. Who knows, Ms. Hendro gave another alternative, not just opening a food stall, but it could be later we will also open other businesses, said Podin, who was not involved in the research, which of course also hopes to get input from others that can be calculated.

    "Yes, Mas Podin .... Tomorrow morning, I will have a conversation with Mrs Hendro, on the sidelines of people at breakfast." said Rina.

    In the morning, Rina who helped Bu Hendro, as already discussed with Podin last night, he tried to talk to Bu Hendro.

    "Bu ..." said the hesitant Rina.

    "What's up, Rina ...? From this kok tub, buk, tub, buk ..." said Bu Hendro who still prepares his merchandise. Indeed, if it is morning, the preparation of arranging the merchandise at the food stall is very busy.

    "Anu, ma'am .." said Rina again, who came back to a standstill.

    "That's you, you .... Just a little kid .... Speaking frankly ..." said Bu Hendro again.

    "Mas Podin, Ms. .." said Rina again, who still did not dare to be frank.

    "Podin why ...?!" asked Bu Hendro curious.

    "Mas Podin wants to invite Rina to move house ..." said Rina, who did not dare to express her intentions.

    "I mean move the contract?" ask Mrs Hendro.

    "Mas Podin wants to buy a house, ma'am .... But in the suburbs, let's get a cheap price." replied Rina.

    "Yes, that's good .... Ugly if the house itself, want to be cared for, want to be painted, want to be added, it's own .... Not someone else's" said Bu Hendro who was certainly happy.

    "But, Madam .... The problem is I can't help Miss Hendro anymore" said Rina.

    "Nh ...?! Why can't you help me anymore ...?! Is the house far away?" asked Bu Hendro who was certainly surprised.

    "The plan is that Mas Podin will open a business for me and Mas Podin, Ms. .." said Rina began to convey her plan.

    "Oo .., so .... Keep going, what business plan will open?" ask Mrs Hendro.

    "Not yet, Mom .... Therefore, I want to ask Mrs Hendro, about what business is suitable for us?" said Rina who had not dared to express her idea.

    "The name of the business is many kinds, Rina .... Like Mr. Soleh, his business opened the boarding houses. If I open enough food stalls .... Depends on your home .... If it is close to a factory like here, the most suitable is the boarding and stall business. If it is close to campus, it fits the same boarding houses, food stalls, or copy photos. Roughly what it suits. Where do you plan to buy a house?" ask Mrs Hendro who wants to know.

    "Not yet, Mom .... Mas Podin's new plan, kok ..." replied Rina.

    "Nr ...." Mrs Hendro grumbled.
