A few days have passed. Rania again got a task from the mother to the market to buy kitchen ingredients that have been exhausted. When Rania had just parked her bike, she again saw the teenage pickpocket. Rania then waved her hand, intending to call the teenage pickpocket over.
The pickpocket teenager who had been caught by Rania's actions at that time was afraid to approach Rania who increasingly aggressively waved his hand.
"You never pickpocket again, do you?"
"Yes, no, never."
"Good." Rania took something from her bag. "This is for you, take it as a gift from me," said Rania while giving a width of blue money.
"Thank you brother."
"Either. Remember not to pickpocket again. There's still a lot of work you can do. Moreover, you are still young, your strength is still a lot. It would be a waste the rest of your life if you lived just to be a pickpocket" said Rania giving advice.
"Yes brother. I'll try to find him."
Later, Rania and the teenage pickpocket separated there. In her heart, Rania prayed that what was said by the teenager was true.
...***...
Rania was shocked. Whether it had been how long Rania had been asleep until the moment she opened her eyes, her entire bedroom had been lighted by the sunlight. Rania hurriedly shuffled from the bed to the window of the room to open it.
When the window of his room was wide open, he immediately felt the glare of sunlight that seemed to have risen. Rania then switched on her wall clock.
"Astagfirullah, I'm bad luck. Where not to pray anymore," said Rania while patting her eel.
Rania rushed into the bathroom to get water. Not even a few seconds in the bathroom, Rania came back out of there with a shy smile that offended her smooth face.
"Maybe this is a sign that people are loved to pray. The poor are still reminded."
Rania smiled as she recalled her conversation with one of her friends.
"What is the sign that prayer loves us?"
"That's pretty. Even if you're busy or are still idle, you'll be reminded to pray on time."
Rania smiled again as she remembered. But his smile faded when he found out he was almost too late to enter the office. Rania rushed back into the bathroom to get ready for the office.
About thirty minutes, Rania had already walked out of the room. He was ready to go to the office. While passing through the middle room, the new Mama Dahlia from the kitchen stopped her child's footsteps.
"Breakfast first, son. Just to the office."
Rania turned to look at Mom. "Rania eats at the office. Rania is too late. Why don't you wake up Rania?"
"Mama has been knocking on your door. But still no answer. Mama thinks you're tired, so mama just let you get more sleep."
At the same time, Rania felt both happy and sad at the same time. Rania is happy because she is so attentive to her and Rania is sad when because of her late mother's affection that can make her miss her obligation as a Muslim.
Even so, Rania will not comment on her mother's actions because it was all due to her being late to sleep to make her wake up late as well.
"Ma, Rania go first. Assalamualaikum."
"Vaalaikumsalam. Go home soon."
Rania was riding her bike so quietly as usual. However, suddenly his calmness was lost when he saw Khanif was driving his car as well. They meet at a red light because Rania stops her bike right next to Khanif's car which is stopping as well.
Not wanting to be caught, Rania immediately turned her face the other way. He didn't want Khanif to see it. Moreover, he knew, at this time he was too late to enter the office. Finish himself if Khanif turns his face to the side.
"Don't see me, Khanif" Rania said in her heart while covering her face with her right hand.
After a few seconds passed, the red light turned green. Finally Rania was able to breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't even notice when he smiled so deeply. Not long after, Rania immediately drove her motorcycle to the office. The road he used to walk, has now changed in these conditions because Rania prefers the fastest way to get to the office before Khanif, although the road taken is a little winding from the usual road.
Rania arrives just as Khanif's new car enters the spacious office courtyard. He then ran into the office in a very hurry even though he knew, the hasty attitude was not good. But how else, if Rania is not like that, then Khanif will find himself late to the office.
When Rania arrived in front of the glass elevator, Rania gasped in shock when suddenly there was a hand holding her shoulder from behind. Slowly he turned his head with a bowed face, afraid to see the face of Khanif - the person he thought was holding his shoulder.
"Why are you Rania?" ask the owner of the hand.
Rania looked up, she was surprised to see the person standing in front of her. Then a second later, Rania looked annoyed at him. Rania remembered very well, before she scored (print) the contract of cooperation Khanif, the woman before him was nearby.
Somehow the woman named Farah went to see her - who was working on a contract file for cooperation. Coincidentally, he suddenly went to the bathroom. Since Farah is an office employee, Rania trusts Farah to wait for her sofa near her desk.
But when Rania returns, she no longer finds Farah there. From there, Rania's suspicions begin, if Farah has made him a scapegoat to make Khanif not believe him. They almost made their company go bankrupt.
"Hey." Farah shook her hand in front of Rania's face, looking at her intently, as if she was going to devour her alive. "Rania, you're not papa, are you?" farah asked as she shook Rania's body slowly, for Rania to wake up.
"Where were you when I just got back from the restroom?" ask Rania full of search. He wanted to prove his innocence by exaggerating a zero in the Khanif cooperation file.
"I ... I .. went back to my desk because I got a sudden call."
"Aren't you lying anymore?" accuse Rania of full investigation.
"Ten .. of course. Why did I lie to you. It's no use to me either."
"Keep why you get nervous to the extent if there is nothing you are trying to hide. Please explain it to me!" kekuh Rania increasingly convinced that Farah who has made himself into trouble with Khanif.
Farah also cleared her throat to ease her nervousness. He then continued his defense, "that's because you asked me so suddenly. Can't I be surprised?" the question is challenging.
"If I'm not in a hurry, I'll continue questioning you. But baby, you are lucky this time," Rania said before leaving Farah who was upset by Rania's words.
"You think I'm scared! Farah will never give up, Rania. Remember that!" murmured Farah haughty.
Farah then walked to another elevator. Though he was eager to feel the glass elevator ride by utilizing the existence of Rania. But all his efforts fail, when Rania asks him what is not important to him.
While in the elevator, Rania continued to grumble. Starting from the events of time at the red light until his brief encounter with Farah. An office friend who is famous for his arrogance. Thinking about it, made Rania sigh heavily.
Not long after, the special elevator he was riding on had reached the floor where he had been working for a week of experiments. He took his foot out of the elevator. As he was about to reach his desk, his footsteps again came to a halt when he heard someone calling him.
"Ro."
"Don't make me ask you any worse!"
Rania turned around, she was so surprised to see who had called her.
"Okay, this is bad," he said inwardly grumbling his carelessness for obeying his frustration earlier. Rania then closed her mouth and turned back to her desk as quickly as possible.
...To be continued...
