BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 83: IN A HOTEL ROOM

    After being escorted to the hotel by his employees who served in the security section, Podin immediately booked a room and entered his room. In the hotel room, Podin could only remain silent. His face looks sad and sad. Of course because he was very hit and sad, just lost his place of business, where the karaoke building where his business was already on fire. Surely he could not tell his wife that he was a businessman. Podin was pensive, and seemed desperate. Now, it's all over.

    "Angt .... Why is Podin ...? Akang Podin looks sad ...? Never mind, Akang .... Don't be sad .., don't be so thought out .... It is all divine destiny, which reminds us, that possessions, things, riches, they are but the deposit of the Almighty .... We humans can't do anything. If all these possessions and wealth are taken by the Powerful One, we cannot evade, we cannot hold it, we cannot ask for it back ...." so said Lesti who tried to calm and support her husband's heart.

    "Yes, Lesti .... Akang knew .... But Akang was ashamed .... Will not be able to show Akang's place of business to Lesti .... Will not be able to prove that Akang has a business .... Would not be able to tell Lesti that Akang's business in Jakarta was successful, Akang's business was good, Akang's business was advanced .... And Lesti hasn't seen it yet .... I can't, Lesti .... I am ashamed of Lesti" said Podin who of course he could not hide his disappointment, because his intention to Jakarta was to show his place of business to Lesti.

    And of course Podin was also worried if it was said that the place of business told by Podin was only a lie. And of course Lesti's friends can't accept such false stories. Lesti could not prove the truth from the ridicule from his friends Lesti. Actually when Podin invited Lesti to Jakarta, he wanted to show that he was really a businessman in Jakarta, Podin really had a place of business. But when he took his wife, wanted to prove what he said, wanted to show his place of business, wanted to tell his wife that he had a big business in Jakarta. And it was all in vain, because the place of business was already on fire. Of course, Podin was very disappointed because he could not prove to his wife, if the place of his business could make a lot of money.

    "It's okay, Akang .... I know, I understand, and I realize the other person. I have seen for myself, Akang Podin does have a business, Akang Podin has a good business place, a luxury, an interesting, and of course Akang Podin has a big income from the business place. But what can be said, it is all divine will, the destiny of the Almighty .... The one above that determines everything .... We can only strive, but all that determines is the Almighty .... I can take it, Akang .... I am not angry, I believe the same Akang ..." so said Lesti, while stroking her husband's shoulder. Of course, so that Podin can accept the reality, and so that Podin immediately rise from his slump.

    "But, Lesti .., you haven't seen in real terms, how Akang's doing" said Podin, who still feels sorry for not being able to show his place of business to his new wife.

    "It's okay, Akang .... Lesti believes, later if the Power wills, Akang will be given a new place of business. Well, it could be that Lesti later with Akang made the new business place ..." said Lesti who was still stroking the back of her husband, which of course Lesti also felt sorry for her husband. Just now her husband told her that his wife died along with her baby during childbirth, and now he wants to show her his place of business, but bad luck is being experienced by Podin, and now his place of business has just burned. Surely Podin was devastated to see that reality, and certainly very disappointed. His heart was broken because he could not prove that he was a businessman to the wife he invited to Jakarta.

    "Moreover, you, Lesti .... But to start the business, we need a large capital .... We need a lot of money. Not only to find its place, but we must also build its place, we must also fill what is needed in our efforts, he said, with all the necessary needs in our business" said Podin who certainly gives an idea to his wife, if you want to open a business certainly it takes a very large cost.

    "Yes, Kang ..., I know .... But at least we can start from a small business first, Akang .... It does not have to be large, it does not have to use a terraced place, it does not have to use a very luxurious place, it does not have to use a large building, not necessarily with a large capital, Akang .... We start small first." said Lesti who gives motivation to her husband, and certainly, Lesti also want her husband not to dissolve in sadness, her husband was not struck by these very painful events. And of course, Lesti wants her husband to rise soon so that he can be passionate to reorganize life.

    "Yes, Lesti .... I'm with Lesti .... Approximately, what business should we develop with a little and not so large funds? At least we have a place of business that can provide a living, an income for us" said Podin to his wife, of course, Podin began to realize that to open a business does not have to be directly large, it does not have to be, but it could be that the effort starts from the small ones first.

    "Yes, Akang ... Maybe we start the shop .... Well, small stalls, village stalls, Akang .... That capital is not big, most of us just need money to shop. Later the stall at home, we open the fence of our house, to make a stall." so said Esti gave an opinion to her husband, which of course this can be used as input. At least they can open a small business in their own home.

    Podin immediately remembered the efforts made by Isti, his first wife, his rightful wife, his wife who had given birth to 4 children. Budin immediately remembered the old wife, who had opened a sales business in the shophouse. Yes, at that time Podin bought a shophouse for his wife's business, which eventually the shophouse had to be sold again by him, because Maya, his second wife demanded to buy a luxury car. Yes, Podin was forced to expel his legal wife and children, because the shophouse had to be sold to meet the demands of the young wife.

    Podin also remembered his third wife, Rina, who opened a food stall business. Yes, at that time in Karawang, Rina's food stall was very selling, very advanced, the trade was getting more and more, where the business was getting bigger, and definitely had a big profit, he said, because the customers of the factory employees are very many in number. The food stall is actually very well established. But alas, again because Podin was tempted by the maid virgin in the restaurant of his wife, a virgin who helped in his wife's stall. Yeah, Podin wants to taste virgin meat. But in reality, Podin had to accept the punishment, Podin was expelled by his wife, and by his neighbors.

    Now when Lesti, his last wife, also proposed to open a small stall business at home, then the memory of Podin was immediately focused on his wife's business proposal. Indeed the easiest to open a business is a trading business, a warung business which of course the capital is also not so big. But the benefits can certainly be enjoyed, even can be used to support his family. Yes, Podin began to imagine with Lesti's proposal to open a stall in his house.

    "How, Akang? If Akang agrees, Lesti also has a little capital, Kang .... At least it can be added. Later Lesti asked for additional with Akang Podin. Does Podin still have money? Yes, later make a plus, Akang ..., for the capital of Lesti sales." so said Lesti who certainly began to want to ask for capital from her husband. At least to open a business in his home.

    "Yes, Lesti .... Maybe you are right .... We have to start again from scratch, small businesses. I was tired of living in Jakarta, so I also thought, how about we open a small shop business in our house. Yes .., at least we can live in a comfortable house, we can arrange our household, but we also have a business there. At least for our entertainment." so said Podin who had started smiling at Lesti.

    Of course, when she saw her husband's smile, Lesti was happy again, Lesti was bright again. That means that her husband will rise and certainly want to reorganize his life by opening a business in his own home.

    "Certain ..., now that we're home, Akang? We're going back to the village? We want to build a place of business, right ...?" said Lesti who invited Podin to return to his village.

    "Before, Lesti .... We better take a break here. I was still very unfocused, not concentrated. I worry, later when driving my vehicle can fail to focus, not concentrate on the road. Then we should stay for a while in Jakarta, waiting for my energy to recover, so that I am not exhausted and can drive optimally." said Podin to Lesti, who asked to return home postponed goods for several days. Of course, to recover the power and mind of Podin who was in chaos when watching his business that experienced a fire.

    "Ting ... tung ..." suddenly the doorbell rang. Signs there are guests outside the room who will meet or there is a need with the hotel occupants.

    "Lesti .., looks like there's a guest. Try to open the door of the room, you ask, who came and what do you want" said Podin who was still laying his body on the bed, because he was so tired in thinking about his life problems.

    Lesti immediately moved, trying to open the room door to find out the guest who pressed the doorbell button.

    "Sorry, who is it? What's it gonna take, huh?" asked Lesti after opening the door a little, and he saw a young woman standing in front of the hotel room door.

    "I'm Ms. Melan .... Is this really Mr. Podin's room? My employees want to meet and talk to Mr. Podin" said the young woman who certainly introduced herself and mentioned her intentions and goals.

    "Yes, right .... Please come in." Lesti said to the young woman, and told her to go into her room.

    "I'm sorry, Mr. Podin ..., disturbing the calm Mr. ..." said the beautiful young woman, after entering the hotel room of Podin.

    "Loh, You Miss .... Here ..., here ..., here .... Please sit. Hows it? Want what? What was? How did such a fire occur?" of course, Podin immediately welcomed with questions to his employees who worked in finance, which was trusted by Podin to manage his business when abandoned by him.

    "Sorry, sir, interrupting. Yes, here I want to report our business problems, sir. Frankly speaking, yesterday there was an incident that was not pleasant in the heart of the Father, sorry, it was not intentional and it was the negligence of visitors who did not turn off cigarette butts. It's been investigated all, sir .... And I need to convey that actually without Mr. Podin's knowledge, I have insured the building Mr, I have insured the place of business. Sorry sir, that's because I was thinking that our place of business seems to be going bankrupt. Sorry sir, once again I apologize for taking my own decision. I used to be a little worried, when Maya Mother often took money in our place. Oh, yes .., sir .... If you may know, how is Maya's mother? I heard from John, Maya's mother the news was less pleasant, Mr .... Is it true that Maya's mother is dead, sir?" so said the young woman, who had been sitting in a hotel room and of course there was Lesti who listened to their conversation.

    "Yes, Ms .... That's right .... It's all been happening. Maya is hard to manage. Maya is hard to follow. I thank you for the sympathy of Cici. And it turns out I was quick to get a change to be able to entertain myself, to accompany my life. This is my new wife, instead of Maya's mother. His name is Lesti, we just got married" said Podin, who was still traumatized and pretentious.

    The employee immediately greeted Lesti, acquainted. And of course the young woman also explained that she was an employee of her husband.

    "I also thank you, because Cici turned out to be smart, can manage our place of business, and of course thanks to Cicik also our efforts can be saved. I resigned the same Cici, please you arrange all the needs, all the needs and all what must be met in our place of business. I'm transferring everything to Cici. I just talked to my new wife, I want to live in my village, want to enjoy life in the village. I want to leave Jakarta. So please, Cici continues the effort. Frankly I am tired of living in Jakarta, I cannot live in this crowded and crowded place, I with my wife want to calm down in the village alone." podin said to the young woman, who turned out to be reliable to continue his business. Yes, of course, Podin is proud to have employees who are smart like that, and can make decisions. And it turns out that the decisions taken without his permission were also useful and very helpful to his company when the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

    "Thank you, Mr. .., for your trust. However, the place of business belongs to the Father. His name is also the name of the father. And all are the rights and authority of the Father. I am just carrying out my obligations as your employee." so said the woman who became a financial employee, and of course she also knew that the place of business was not hers, not hers, but it still belonged to Podin and had to be handed over to Podin as authorized to own it.

    "Sorry, Ms .... We decided that we, especially me, could not live in this great city. His life is too hard for us, his life is too hard for us. We can't live in a place like this. I willingly, as his wife Akang Podin, I do not want to burden the mind of Akang Podin. Let the employees continue this effort. We will go back to the village again, will return to the village, to open small businesses in the village. We want to live in a village that is not so crowded like this place." suddenly Lesti stumbled on the conversation between Podin and his employees.

    "Thank you, Mother .... Lesti's mother was too kind to us. I know, mother's a good man. May the Almighty grant all that Mother needs. Thank you, Mother .... Thank you, Mr. Podin, for believing in us. Can we ask for your account number? Later I will put some of the profits from our business directly into the account number of the father" said the young woman, who of course he also wants to convey the benefits to the owner.

    "No need, Ms .... At any time, if I have the chance, I will visit here. And also, if you have time, please play to our house. We live in the Padalarang area. Later let my wife who contacts the same rebellion Cici. I'm sorry, I'm tired of using HP, so I do not have HP now" said Podin to the young woman, who of course Podin resigned completely where his business was to his employees. Podin wants to give up the entire place of his business that has been managed and saved by his employees. So that the place of business can provide income for its employees.

    The conversation in the hotel room was friendly, full of family and very pleasant. Lesti also drifted with the attitude of her husband who was really very wise.
