It was too late at night, when Hamdan, Rini's husband, came home from work. That's common. Understandably, Hamdan is a director at his company's headquarters, who is always busy taking care of his business. Especially in Jakarta, people work not knowing the time. Daytime is the same. If you want to earn a lot of money, work must be twenty-four hours. Work knows no time. Work should be serious. If you just want to sit around or relax, the place is not in Jakarta. Not to mention the streets that are always jammed, crowded cars crowded the road, slowing the pace of transportation. So to go to work must go early in the morning before sunrise and go home until late at night, is a common thing that is always done by people in Jakarta. Including Hamdan, Rini's husband. Yes, Jakarta is a place for people to work, not a place for slackers. Who is diligent, he will get a lot of money. There are even sloroh, in Jakarta everything can be used as money, as long as people are not lazy and not ashamed to work anything. What matters is halal.
Although in front of the house there is a security guard who opens the fence and guards his house, in the back room there is Mak Mun, a housekeeper who always prepares logistical affairs to take care of the stomach of hunger, and in the room, but as a wife, Rini still went to the middle room, welcoming the arrival of her husband. Rini immediately carried her husband's bag, put in the study, close to her bedroom.
"You want warm tea what is ginger milk, Pah?" rini asked her husband, who had put his foot in the big chair in the living room.
"Tea is warm." answered her husband flatly.
"Wanna eat?" ask Rini to her husband.
"No, I ate with a client in the office" replied her husband who looked exhausted.
"Write first. Her back was splashed with hot water, so as not to catch a cold" said Rini, while picking up her husband's socks and clothes that had been removed. She gave a towel to her husband.
"Yes. Thank you, Mah." said Hamdan, Rini's husband, directly into the bathroom in his room.
"Mak Mun .., please make warm tea for you, do not forget to use sweeteners. Don't give me sugar!" rini told her maid.
"Yes, Mother." replied Mak Mun, a loyal servant who has been with Rini for ten years.
"Don't forget, Mas Jo was told to eat first" said Rini again, telling Mak Mun to prepare a meal for Mas Jo, her husband's driver who always drove everywhere.
Rini's family is good. Her husband, Hamdan, is also nice although he is a director. But for domestic affairs, indeed Hamdan never wanted to be involved. All were handed over to his wife. Even at home, Hamdan did not say much, unless there was something important that his wife could not do. Rini is, as a wife who takes care of the household. Starting from the need to eat to electricity payments.
Only unfortunately, already thirty years married, Rini and Hamdan have not been blessed with children. When the marriage was five years old, they asked Hamdan's cousin's son to be cared for and adopted. The term for fishing so that his family quickly given children. Through the family's consent, Hamdan's five-year-old cousin agreed to have his newborn baby daughter taken care of by Hamdan's family. Yes, that baby girl who used to be entertainment for Hamdan and Rini. The baby called Mamah and Papah to Rini and Hamdan. Hamdan's household became crowded. Hamdan's work spirit is getting more motivated. The windfall came from here and there. The department came near. The Hamdan family became wealthy and full of happiness. A large palace house was built. Expensive furniture decorate the house. Luxury cars fill the large garage of his house. All needs are met. There is no shortage.
But after the nursed girl had grown up, became a beautiful girl, after graduating from college, then edited people, Hamdan and Rini could not resist, could not force a will, could not force a will, it cannot prohibit, and it is impossible to restrain his adopted son forever. So after marriage, her son was invited to the house of her husband, Hamdan and Rini just resigned. Can not resist to stay at his house, although his mother wishes that they both live in his house.
Naturally, after the departure of her son who lived in her husband's new home, the atmosphere in the Rini family home became quiet. A house as big as a palace was only occupied by two people who had aged. There was no noise, no one was being yelled at every morning waking up from his sleep, no more girls liked to sing. Slender.
Rini brought in a warm tea made by Mak Mun, put it on the room table. Serving husband. She lay in bed, accompanying her husband.
"Well, end of the year off, huh?" ask Rini to her husband, while laying down the body on the bed.
"Private officer, Mah. If it's a holiday, the income is also zoonk." replied Hamdan.
Rini quiet. She knew the character of her maniacal husband. Holidays are always used to take care of the company. Especially when it comes to dealing with clients. Hamdan never wanted to disappoint the client. People or companies that need services and goods from the company, must be served as well as possible. Customers should be satisfied, not disappointed. Even on holidays. In fact, many clients come on holidays, with the reason all on vacation.
"What's wrong, Mah?" ask Hamdan to Rini.
"High School friends want to take a reunion to Jogja" replied Rini.
"Well, that's fun" said Hamdan.
"Yes, fun. But if Papah doesn't have a holiday ...?!" said Rini.
"If Papah can't, Mamah will go alone." said Hamdan.
"Not exciting." said Rini.
"Lhoh ..., why not fun ...?! His father Papah the funner" Hamdan sergeant while joking.
Rini just shut up. He tried to close his eyes. Trying to sleep, not talking about it again. She does not argue with her husband. Thirty years married, already understand the character of her husband. She knew her husband loved her very much.
Hamdan also knew, his wife did not want to discuss anymore. He closed his eyes too. A tired body fell asleep immediately. Snore. Sleep tight.
*******
The morning was busy in the kitchen. Although there was Mak Mun who helped, but Rini never left her nature as a wife who had to prepare breakfast for her family, even though now only she and her husband are left alone. But for Rini, if not join the storm in the kitchen even so dumbstruck. Therefore, every morning Rini always busy themselves. Starting from preparing breakfast, to preparing clothes that will be worn by her husband.
Breakfast is ready. Rini went to the room, looking at her husband who was still wearing clothes. Rini took her husband's briefcase. Next, take her husband for breakfast.
"Bah, breakfast first" Rini said to her husband who had finished wearing clothes.
Rini went straight to the dining room next to the family room. A large oval table made of teak wood from Jepara carved beautiful carving, equipped with six carved chairs with soft foam seats, very handsome perched in the dining room of a rich family. In the middle of the dining table there is a box tray also made of carved teak wood, there is a cutlery and tissue box. Rini prepared a plate containing her husband's favorite vegetable lontong. Next to the plate was a clear glass filled with lime juice that was given honey. This drink can give vitamins that are natural, make the body become fresh and dissolve blood fat. Which is definitely good for the health of the body. Indeed, if the age is above fifty years, physical condition must always be maintained.
Hamdan already looks neat with a long-sleeved shirt suit light blue, dark blue pants, plus a tie blue dongker there is a small slash of white color, white, plus pinch the tie with diamond gems, if exposed to the light looks shiny. The passing of a director. He sat on the dining chair that Rini had prepared. Alongside his wife. Enjoying his favorite vegetable.
"Yet so go for a reunion?" hamdan asked Rini, after finishing his vegetable barn.
"If Papah is not off, it is not so." answered Rini flatly.
"Aaach ..., fresh" said Hamdan enjoying drinking lime juice fed with honey, "When is the plan?" hamdan asked about his wife's reunion plans.
"Late year. During the Nataru holiday. While enjoying the beauty of Gudeg City." replied Rini.
"What picnic is reunion?" hamdan asked while mocking his wife.
"Reuni while on a picnic. Bye, go to the office first. Jo is waiting. The director should be an example of his employees, do not come late" said Rini who was ready to bring her husband's bag and suit to the car.
In the front yard of the house, Mas Jo, the driver of Director Hamdan, was already washing and cleaning his boss' car. Then heat up the engine.
"Mas Jo, it's the same suit you put in the car" said Rini told her husband's driver.
"Yes, Mom." replied Mas Jo who immediately approached Rini's mother. Yes, "Mother Rini," so the driver, guards and Mak Mun if calling Rini as the hostess.
"Have you had breakfast, hasn't it?" ask Rini's mother to Mas Jo.
"Already, Mom, it was in Mak Mun's kitchen" Mas Jo replied.
"If the driver is careful, don't speed!" Rini's message.
"Yes, thank you" replied Mas Jo.
"I left first huh, Mah" Director Hamdan told his wife.
"Yes, Pah .... Be careful" said Rini, who was watched by her husband.
Mas Jo was already running his car, slowly exiting the courtyard of the house. Take Director Hamdan to his company office. Rini waved from the garage porch, until the car was nowhere to be seen. The turnstile can open and close on its own, although there are guards guarding it. Then back into the dining room.
"Tuliliiing .... Tuliliiing .... "HP Rini reads.
"Anik ..." said Rini who looked at the caller's profile, "Hello, Nik ...!" rini said to HP's call.
"Eh, Rin ..., what? So come along, right? Watch out if you're not coming!" sahut Anik, a friend of Rini High School who is very comfortable.
"Well, when is it? Where is the place? I'm confused to tell my husband" said Rini.
"These friends who live in Jogja are still looking for info. Patience, yes." answered Anik.
"But I'm not sure I'm coming. I still have doubts" said Rini.
"Lhooo .... You should come!" anik Sahut.
"Lhah, don't make dong, Nik!" sergeant Rini.
"Haha .... The problem is that if you don't come, it's less exciting, Rin!" Said Anik while laughing.
"Ach, ngaco, Lu! Take care of the certainty first, just convey to me! So obviously the show. Like this, I'm confused as to what to say! Do not say doang, it must be clear, where it is, when it is, what event! So I can say same husband!" sahut Rini's.
"okay, Rin .... Ready ...! Wait, Say ..." said Anik ending his talk.
Rini was confused. The call for the reunion left a shudder in his mind. She wants to meet her friends who have been separated for a long time. But on the other hand, her husband does not necessarily want to be invited to travel. Especially the reunion words. It's not important, it's not profitable, it doesn't produce anything. Yes, understandably, her husband is a director of a private company that is always demanded by the maximum profit. Unlike employees, whose work is relaxed, many holidays, can still leave, the salary is intact. So yummy.
Rini went straight to the dining table. Breakfast makeshift, enjoy the herbal turmeric artificial acid Mak Mun. He wanted to throw the word reunion out of his mind. Moreover, her husband has said that work in private companies has no holidays. Serving clients is preferred, to be happy and satisfied. If for example later it can not join the reunion, yes no problem. The important thing is that her husband can run his company well. Because of the company, her husband is sufficient for all the needs of his family.
