Rafka went to the land that the branch company would build. He parked his car on the road because the land area was crowded with protesters. He got out of his car. Then approach the crowd. Police are already in place to hold the crowd. Rafka stood in front to calm the protesters.
"Assalamu'alaikum is my brother" Rafka said.
Demonstrators remained silent and some remained silent.
"A Muslim is not obligated to answer greetings" Rafka said.
"Wa'alaikumsallam" said the protesters.
"Alhamdulilah" said Rafka.
The protesters began to voice their own opinions.
"My boss has long lived here selling, if this land is built we sell where?" ask Iwan.
"Boss I've lived here for a long time, where should I stay? I don't have the money to move" Joko said.
"My boss was just a mother of three of my children, my husband died. This place is the only shelter for me" said Ms. Yuli.
"Relax, father and mother. All of this can be discussed carefully" said Rafka.
The protesters are starting to come back. They do not accept being forced to evict. They don't have the money to move.
"Look, please listen to me first. I want to talk" Rafka said.
All the protesters were silent and ready to listen to Rafka speak.
"I will set aside some land for you to occupy and I will build a neater house building. For those who sell can work as a caterer or canteen in my company. For others can work as an OB, security, parking attendant, or other parts that match your abilities. So you can live and work here. Let us both advance this place and open job vacancies for local residents" said Rafka.
The protesters thought about Rafka's words.
"Truely, I can work as an OB, I happen to be OB before" said Joko.
"The company employees are quite a lot, if open cantinkan profitable" said Iwan.
"I can work so anything, the important thing is that children eat" said Ms. Siti.
"Alright agree, we agree this place was built" said Didit, the chairman of the protestors.
"Alhamdulillah" said Rafka.
The demo ended peacefully. Rafka managed to calm the masses. They all disbanded. Rara
approaching Boss.
"The bosses should be tired of their care even though the police could arrest the provocators and protesters who are anarchist or against" said Rara.
"Rara, not all of our problems are solved by violent means. It will cause damage and suffering to others. What's wrong with helping people. Remember that in this world we need each other. Bosses are not called Bosses without subordinates. Bosses can't work alone without subordinates either it's staff up to OB though. I have nothing to lose anyway. They will only ask for a little land to live, besides my goal is to establish this company to capture labor from local people, so they still include local people" said Rafka.
"Bos is a good person, I am proud to be your subordinate" said Rara.
"Let's go back to the hotel" Rafka said.
"Good Boss" said Rara.
Rafka's back in his car. Rara also takes her car privately. They left that place. Rafka looks over the side of the road. The day began in the afternoon, the sound of Adzan reverberated. Rafka stopped by a roadside mosque. He got out of the car for ablution and prayer. After the prayer, Rafka came out of the mosque he walked in the courtyard of the mosque and accidentally collided with someone.
The Dug.........
"I'm sorry" Azura said.
Rafka is surprised that the person he is talking about is Azura his wife. This is the second time Rafka returned to meet Azura after praying. Rafka immediately hugged Azura tightly. She misses him so much.
"Let go" said Azura trying to release Rafka's embrace.
"No, I won't let you go" Rafka said.
"Mas.." said Azura.
"I miss you baby" Rafka said.
Azura pensive. She also misses her husband. This hug was missed so much. It was like dreaming of meeting her husband.
"It's a shame not to leave me again baby" said Rafka.
Azura immediately cried in Rafka's chest. If he can ask selfishly, maybe he wants to go back and live with Rafka. But he didn't want to make Gista suffer for it.
"Mas let go of me" Azura said.
"This morning in front of the mosque, people see us" Azura said.
Rafka pulls Azura into the car. They leave the place and head to the hotel where Rafka is staying. Rafka pulls Azura's arm into the hotel room.
"Mas" said Azura.
Rafka immediately kissed Azura. The kiss made Azura lulled. He was in his longing. They are drunk with romance and longing. It was a loving afternoon. They do that romantic thing time and time again tirelessly as if that longing makes them want to stay together. After exhaustion they lay in bed. Rafka hugged Azura tightly, not wanting to let go of his wife again.
"I Love You" Rafka whispered in Azura's ear.
Azura was silent. He did not dare to reply to the love speech that he actually felt as well.
Rafka did not care about Azura's answer. What the two of them had done earlier, had already shown a sense of love between the two. Due to fatigue Rafka fell asleep. When Rafka was asleep, Azura took off Rafka's embrace. He wrote a letter placed on a small cupboard near the bed. Then she put on her clothes, walked out of the hotel.
Kriiiing......
The sound of the phone wakes Rafka up. He looked at his phone and then picked up the incoming call.
"Hallo Mi" said Rafka.
"Hallo son" said Freya.
"What's up Mi?" ask Raka.
"Have you arrived?" ask Freya.
"It was 9am" Rafka said.
"Thankfully, don't forget to take care of your health, eat regularly and get enough sleep" Freya said.
"Ready Mi" said Rafka.
Rafka hung up after talking to Freya. He just remembered that he was with Azura.
Rafka immediately looked to the side but Azura was not around. Rafka leaves the bed looking for Azura in the hotel room but does not find her. Just a piece of paper on a small cupboard beside the bed.
Dear Mas Rafka's
Assalamu'alaikum
Today I am so happy to see you again. But I don't want this to continue. I've decided from the beginning to leave so you and Gista are happy. I'm sorry Mas. Let's just say today's meeting was just a dream. Don't you tell Gista because I don't want to hurt her. You don't have to look for me, this is our last meeting. I love you Mas.
Azura Asifa's
Rafka shed her tears reading the letter. He had been happy to meet Azura but was now separated again.
"No, I can't give up. I have to find Azura and my baby" Rafka said.
***********
Azura went home. He opened the door. Closed it. He sat at the door of his house. Her tears were dripping down her cheeks. His heart is so open. She had to leave her husband for her happiness.
"Hik hik hik" Azura cried.
The Mother Goddess who had just entered the living room immediately approached Azura and hugged her.
"Why are you, son?" ask the Goddess Mother.
"So I met Mas Rafka Bu" said Azura.
"Good dong" said Mother Goddess.
"But I've decided to fight Mom hik hik hik" said Axura.
"Stupid's not going anywhere, even if you run as far as anything will come back. That means you and Rafka are a match" said Mother Goddess.
"But I don't want Gista to get hurt again. I want them to be happy" Azura said.
"Patience son, I know you're a good boy. Giving up your happiness for others is not easy and not everyone can do it" said Mother Goddess.
"Yes Ma'am" said Azura.
Azura went into her room. He took a shower and went to the second room of his twins. He did not see his twin. Azura searched around her house but nothing. Suddenly her twins walked into her home.
"Where are you from?" asked Azura with an annoyed expression.
