Soon Ajeng's older brother, Desi, arrives at the airport with her husband. She and her husband help Ajeng to bring the suitcases Ajeng brought into the car.


The car that was driven by Desi's husband immediately drove out of the airport area after Ajeng's belongings were put in the car. Desi's mother who is currently sitting next to Ajeng was curious why suddenly his sister suddenly came out of her workplace in the Maldives. Though Gery Ajeng's lover just joined work at that place. In addition, Desi was also worried about the sudden return of Ajeng. He was quite wary that the money he had borrowed would be billed by Ajeng.


“Dek, why the hell are you out of your workplace? Isn't Gery there now?” ask me about Desi.


“Long is the story. I'm talking males again. The point is I'm the same Gery broke up. He cheated on my boss there. Maybe Gery saw that woman more beautiful than me!” Ajeng put up his upset face.


A few seconds inside the car was made of silence. Ms. Desi and her husband just look at each other through the middle of the glass. They also looked at Ajeng who did not look cheerful.


“Jeng..” greet husband mbak Desi. Ajeng only glanced at the eyes of Desi's husband who was caught in the glass of a pawn. “If you've broken up then look for new. Emang from the beginning I was the same mbak you was already reckless, if the Gery Salut you is not really the person.” Ajeng responded to Desi's husband's words by sighing.


“Iya dek... The person who can not be sincere was thrown away. Fortunately, you are not the same guy as him. You don't have to be sad thinking about that kind of person. From the beginning, I was no sreg…! It doesn't suit you to be the same! He said he said sincerely love. Hmh! Make it all like that..”.


“Hm... Not all also Des...” husband mbak desi little protest. “I'll never play serong.”


“Iya mas, mbak. I also don't want to think of a guy who doesn't know himself. But I also need time. I'm the same he will break it up recently. Where I lose my job now. Especially if my mother calls often tell me to be with Gery flat-footed marriage. This is even we break up..” continued Ajeng pour out his heart and mind.


“Yes don't say useless that too, Jeng..” mbak Desi trying to advise. “Bapak same mother used to print you it was not because of the fad night-night. The proof is because you are Idam now you can open a workshop business with a car wash.”


Little Ajeng could smile at the words of Desi. He was also happy that his brother-in-law could open a business.


“Certainly how the same workshop effort wash the car mas? Rame no?” tanya Ajeng wanted to know.


“Ya is good, Jeng. But the belly can turn the capital. Later if you can return the capital, your money that we have borrowed must be returned,” replied mas Idam without covering the slightest of financial conditions of his family.


“Iya mas, not pa-pa..” Mbak Desi who heard his sister's speech became relieved.


The car they were riding finally turned to the left. Ajeng feeling a little unsettled because he will meet his mother. There will be a lot of questions he will hear from his mother.


Shortly after, the car stopped. Ajeng and Desi immediately got out of the car and dropped off the suitcases in the car.


“Ajeeenggg..!” shouted Ajeng's mother to welcome the arrival of her son. He pecks his son's cheeks full of affection. “Hihiiii.. Kok kinda iteman huh now?” Ajeng was a little upset actually heard the question from his mother.


“Ish... Ibuk ni... The child himself was even mocked like that...” slightly cranky because he was experiencing a crisis of self-reliance after being broken by Gery.


“Iya... Sweet sweet... Heheee...” continued Ajeng's mother rubbed her child's head.


“Lajar lah buk I added items. It's so hot in there. Right left sea. Soon again if I am home continue, surely my skin will return again like before,” timpal Ajeng responded to his mother's timpan.


They continued to head into the house. It turned out that morning Ajeng was greeted with a lot of food served at the dining table. This instant when Ajeng tasted his mother's cooking, he felt better. Ajeng felt that he was completely back in the middle of his family.


That morning after finishing eating, Ajeng ventured to tell his mother about the incident that befell him in the Maldives. Ajeng is not ready to share his story with his mother. But he decided to open up. Because in the end, he also had to tell stories.


“So you just beat up your boss?”


“Iya buk..”


“Why don't you beat up Gery all of you?” A little dumbfounded at his mother's words. “Awas aja if one day meet the child…! I must have calculated!” still angry after hearing the story of his son.


“Udahlah buk... Later surely the child dapet karmanya,” continued Desi who sat next to Ajeng. He tried to calm his mother's emotions.


“If only your father were alive. Hm... Surely it will be battered to hit the boy! I still can't accept your sister being treated like that, Des! Because of him now your sister also lost her job!”


The whole day was a topic of conversation in the Ajeng family just about discussing Gery and Eva. Actually Ajeng did not want to discuss the two people. But his mother who was still upset and anxious with Gery's attitude made him always ask Ajeng about it.

The discussion about Gery and Eva continued for several days in the house. The same question was repeated by his mother Ajeng until he made Ajeng's head dizzy because his memory had to flash back again imagining Eva and Gery.


 


 


Ajeng POV


I was home for two weeks. But until today I have not got a new job.That yesterday there were 4 interview calls. But the ending is always asking for a reference letter that must be in the stamp of the old company. If they don't ask for contact number my boss who still works there. Hm.. If this is the way I won't get a job. There's no way I'm gonna ask Eva for help with the reference letter…? Huft. I quit my job at the bank 2 years ago. Savings if not filled must be thinner. I also feel bad about my mother if I just stay at home.


“Do I help in his workshop mas Idam aja yes? I think every day Idam always overtime. Yesterday he said there were a lot of cars and buses that stopped by his workshop to ask for washing.It is also quite nice than me to sit still at home, mending help mas Idam. Who knows if there are acquaintances who want to nawarin work..”
