BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 73: LEAVING JAKARTA

    After Podin sold the car and the house all in the name of Maya, after Podin got the money from the sale, then now there is one more problem faced by Podin, Podin, that is, the employees who are in the entertainment place, who still always say they want to see Mother Maya, want to visit Mother Maya, want to see Mother Maya, want to see Mother Maya, she said, wanted to see the baby that Maya's mother had just born. Yeah, Podin's back dizzy. Podin was confused. Podin again thought hard to find a reason to avoid the will of his own employees who always forced to meet with Maya.

    "Pak Podin ..., now where does Maya's mother live? We, all friends, want to see Maya, want to see her baby. Well, at least we want to announce the birth of Bu Maya, and of course also want to know the state of Bu Maya. Because after giving birth, of course, Bu Maya needs people who can entertain. At least share how to care for the baby" the employees told Podin.

    "Gee .... Maya's mother asked her to stay in the village .... Yes .., understand, Ms. Maya has not been good at caring for her own child. Hence, he asked his parents for help, to his brothers who were in the village to help take care of him." Podin replied to the employees.

    "We mean, where is the village, Mr Podin? We want to go there, we want to see Bu Maya" said the employees again, who certainly want to know the village.

    "Waduh ...?! I'm gonna tell you how this is? The place is very far away. In a very far away village. It can be a day trip from Jakarta, heading towards the South Coast. From the area of the Lake still continues towards the corner." replied Podin who would still hide his secret, so that his men were not so to visit him to the village.

    "But his HP is dead, too, Mr. Podin. We contacted many times can not." so the employees who are also curious about HP Maya who can not be contacted again it.

    "That's Maya's fault .... When he got to the village, went to the camp, he wanted to take a shower. In the village itself, the HP Maya fell, into the water. Yes already. Damaged is .... And again, that's where the signal's hard. Difficult to contact with HP. Understandably still remote, still very primitive once .... Far from progress, far from modernization. Even there are still many neighbors who do not have electricity, no lighting, no neon lights. So if it's night, it's dark." so Podin told his employees.

    "Take the hell, sir .... Kok is very much different from the appearance of Maya's beautiful mother, menor, makeup just like an artist. Surely we can't come there to see Maya's mother. Mr. Podin was embarrassed, yes .., his village still missed its progress ..." said the employees who of course mocked.

    "Easy .... If you don't believe me, tomorrow if I go home to visit Maya, you come along .... Surely you'll be nagging along the way. Some say the place is far away, some say the place is meandering, some say the place is up and down, some even say the road has not been paved, there is no electricity ..... Ah, anyway your words must be all kinds. I will eventually make fun of me. I see, right?" podin said that of course he still wanted to keep Maya and her baby who was lost on the island of Berhala.

    "Yes, Mr. Podin .... If it is not allowed to look at the village, we will wait until later if Bu Maya has returned to Jakarta" said the employees who finally gave up on the reasons for Podin.

    "Yes .... Just like that .... Therefore, this is the car and my house is selling, that is the goal I will buy a new house that is bigger. Because later if Maya's family comes here, if my family also wants to see Maya, wants to see the baby, it's not too narrow house, not clumsy, not crowded."  so said Podin who explained to his employees.

    The employees were finally able to accept the reason that Podin was indeed unable to visit Maya. And of course, it will wait if Maya has come to Jakarta again.

    "Yes, Mr. Podin .... We're back at work, sir .... Tomorrow if Bu Maya is already in Jakarta, we will wait for the baby, maybe even I will sleep there to watch Bu Maya give breast milk to the baby." said the employees who teased Podin.

    Eventually the employees returned to work. Some return to the karaoke room to be a karaoke guide, some also set the sound system, some are in the office. Of course, they will work according to their respective expertise.

    Podin headed to the administration room. Yes, Podin will meet with administrative and financial officers. The young woman who once reported that her finances were broken into by Maya. So he was confused because he could not pay his employees. Podin was in the room together with the finance officer.

    "Cik ..., how is the current financial state of our company?" podin asked the young girl who took care of the financial part of his business.

    "Yes, it's actually pretty good, Mr. Podin .... After Bu Maya did not ask again, did not force to take the company's cash, income has started to balance with expenditure, Mr. Podin. At least we can pay the employees, and at least in the office there is still funds just in case. There is still a cashbon sir." replied the woman, who of course while opening the financial book on her desk, and showed her financial data to Podin. Starting from daily income, regular expenses, even for employee payments.

    "This is good, Ms ....  If for example the income like this continues, it means I do not need to add bailouts to pay employees, right?" so asked Podin on the woman's financial section.

    "Hopefully it's okay, Mr. Podin .... There is still enough money. Even in the bank we still have a balance of accounts that are still filled fairly, Mr. Podin. So actually if this finance is supervised and arranged properly, it does not matter, Mr. Podin .... And hopefully things will continue like this. At least this company is no longer on the verge of worry, Mr. Podin. And I'm not worried anymore if there are young employees who come here angry with me, because he can't receive payment" said the young woman, which of course from the first is already trusted by the old Boss to handle finances. This young woman certainly has expertise in finance. At least he can manage the entry and exit of existing finances in the company.

    "Thank you, Ms .... At least I'm not so worried about this company. There is only one thing I need to tell Cie-cik, please keep this confidential" said Podin who began to aggravate the volume of his speech, as if his words were somewhat confidential.

    "What's the matter, Mr. Podin?" the young lady of Finance brought her ear closer to Podin, wanting to hear what his boss was going to say.

    "What's the matter, Mr. Podin?" ask the financial woman who is certainly more curious, and of course closer his head again to Podin who further aggravates his voice.

    "I'll go home .... I will probably stay in the village for a long time. I will be leaving this place a long time ago. So I will entrust all financial matters, all matters of company administration to you, Ms .... And you have to manage well. No need to contact me, no need to contact Ms. Maya. I can't be sure when I'm going back to this place. And one more thing I want to tell you, so that you can maintain the atmosphere in this company, maintain the climate in this company that is safe, comfortable and pleasant. Anyway conducive .... At least your friends, the employees all feel protected, can earn from this place, and at least you have nothing to lose in managing this business" said Podin in a slow tone, which can only be heard by the woman sitting in front of him, who has brought the face close almost attached to the face of Podin.

    "But, sir ..." suddenly the young woman would say.

    "No need to wear buts .... The important thing is to do it according to your ability. If necessary, if you ask for help, ask for help from someone you trust, someone you see as capable, someone you see as helping you." podin said to the young woman.

    "I mean this, sir .... I mean, if there's something really important, there's something really urgent, how are we gonna get in touch with Mr. Podin?" ask the woman to Podin.

    "Come, Ms .... I just resigned everything the same Cicik. The important thing is please take care of your friends who work here. Don't think about me. Don't think about Maya. Assume this company is yours, then you will definitely be fully responsible for managing it" said Podin who resigned completely to his financial employees.

    "Yes, sir .." replied the young woman in finance, who would be confused with the burden of managing the company in total.

    "Thank you everyone, Miss .... Please begging me. Don't tell my friends. Only Cicik-e knows about this matter. And of course if friends later storm means Cicik can not keep this secret.

    "The problem is, if anyone asks, I answer how, Mr Podin?" ask the financial woman to Podin, which of course there will be employees who ask.

    "Lah ..., how confused ...?! Yesterday I was gone four months more, never came here, nor did anyone ask. And suddenly I came, you made me sad. He said that there are many shortcomings. Now I'm going to leave for a moment you're confused. Why ...?! What's the difference ...?!" so said Podin to the financial section. In fact, Podin had planned to disappear from Jakarta.

    "Yes, Sir .... Thanks for the advice, sir. Hope your friends understand this situation. Please pray, Mr. .., so that I can run a business in this place, and hopefully there are no obstacles or obstacles" said the woman who certainly showed a less happy face.

    "Well .... So .... So the person must be optimistic, must always be prepared, do not be whiny, do not always ask for guidance, do not always hope. Must be independent, must be able to overcome problems, must be able to be a strong person, must be able to be a great person. And of course, you also have to be able to prove that you can run this business." so said Podin who next he stood up from his chair and stepped up, and stepped up, will come out while greeting women who handle the financial field in his place of business, and who are now provided by Podin to manage his company.

    "Be careful on the road, Mr. Podin ..." so the woman gave the words to Podin, who would certainly travel far, while greeting his boss.

    After settling down, and after getting out of the entertainment center building, the place of his karaoke business, finally Podin got into his car. Then turn on the car engine, then he left his place of business, the karaoke entertainment place. Semari gave the envelope to Jon, who at that time gave Pandin's instructions in the parking lot.

    "Bang Jon .., this is a bit of sustenance for Bang Jon .... Thank you for being helped" said Podin, handing an envelope containing commission money to security employees at his company.

    "Thank you, Mr. Podin .." replied the Jon, bowing his body.

    Furthermore, Podin went straight out, Podin would definitely leave that place within a very long period of time. I might not even go back to that place again. Of course, because Podin was worried that the employees at the place always asked for the whereabouts of Maya and the baby. To be sure, Podin is worried that until someone knows the secret of him related to the disappearance of Maya along with her baby. If it's discovered, it could be a problem for Podin.

    Therefore, then Podin would not want to have to leave Jakarta. Inevitably, Podin had to stay away to avoid all the problems faced in Jakarta, with people who knew Maya, with people close to Maya, he said, even with people who always want to meet Maya.

    The middle-aged diesel minibus continued to drive south, leaving the city of Jakarta, leaving behind the Metropolitan crowd, leaving behind all the stories that Podin had ever done, leaving behind all the memories of Podin with Maya and with the people who had been close to him. The car continued to go, following the heat of the road asphalt which had not been ascertained the direction of destination by Podin. But clearly, Podin had to leave the Capital, so that his life could be calm, not pursued with questions about Maya and her baby.
