On Top of Sacred Love
Chapters 2. The News Is Coming

Mirna was impatient. I want to hear the news about his application soon. This is the 8th day after the Mirna Test Interview. Every afternoon, when his uncle came home, he was deliberately on the porch of the house. While watering the flowers. He really wanted to hear from his uncle.

"Mirna, you're accepted to work."

She was like a girl waiting for her beloved. To propose. Day 9, 10, 11. There were no words he had been waiting for.

Mirna was not aware, looking for work in this day and age is so difficult. Even many scholars have not worked. In fact, Mirna is just a graduate of SMK, majoring in Accounting. Clearly outcompeting with graduates in Accounting.

That's Mirna. A very optimistic girl. Although only a graduate of SMK, he is confident in his abilities. Bookkeeping problems he mastered. 9 Value for Cost Accounting. In addition, he is confident, the ability to manage time, good emotional control, friendly nature and socialization.

And his determination to make his mother happy became his flagship weapon. In addition, how to respond to people who have been trained when PKL, in a bank. How to speak in public and organize has he mastered since becoming chairman of OSIS.

That's capital. He recalled one time when PKL was in a bank. Speech of an employee personnel.

"Actually, these companies are also difficult to find prospective employees. Although many applicants, not necessarily qualified"

"What's the signal, Mom?" ask Mirna.

"The first, do not have to be very smart, must have the nature of learning will, good personality, smiling and smart socializing, good emotional control and in trust"

That'sthat's all. Actually easy. However, it does not belong to prospective employees. That's what Mirna always held. As a weapon to conquer the competition in the city. Because it's all Mirna's. He was also a smart kid at school.

Forty-four days Mirna waited. There's no news yet. He started to fret, agitated and unsettled. And this is the 44th night. Is this night the same as the night before?

However, Mirna was convinced, tonight there was good news for her. Because his premonition had been a little different since this morning. This is a sign.

Unlike usual, uncle came home a bit late afternoon. At 17:15 Wib. My uncle usually comes home at 18:30. Maybe it's time. There must be some good news from uncle.

The moment uncle walked into the house, uncle's gaze was somewhat different from before. Uncle looked as if he wanted to say something. However, there was a momentary visible empathy from the gesture of uncle's face.

It's omen. It's not usually uncle like this. Like a team of investigators who are collecting evidence, Mirna tried to deduce uncle's gesture this afternoon. Every move uncle collected Mirna to convince his little heart. Tonight I will tell you the good news.

Mirna kept watering the flowers in front of the house. His smile is blooming. Like a white rose she was watered with.

Her heart was blossoming surrounded by colorful flowers. Can't wait for night to come.

"Myrna,"

Uncle called. Mirna was shocked until the water hose she was holding fell suddenly.

"Yes, Uncle." Mirna answered while picking up the hose of the fallen water.

"Here's a minute, there's something uncle wants to say."

"Yes, Uncle. Mirna shut the water down first."

Mirna's legs are so heavy. Shaking hearing uncle's call.

"Right, surely Uncle will tell you that Mirna received a job," Mirna said as she stepped up.

Mirna is really happy. Smile at the mouth. After washing her hands, Mirna went to see her uncle. It turns out that Auntie was there too. Mirna took the place next to aunt. Manneredly, sit down with a smile.

"Look, Mir, this afternoon uncle got a phone call..,"

Uncle cut the conversation. Mirna's heart was racing. Mirna's face was smiling and speechless.

It's clear that Mirna believes she's accepted the job. He smiled as his hands fidgeted uncontrollably. Occasionally sit on the slide. And he's impatient.

"Call from whom, Uncle?" ask Mirna clearly.

I can't wait to hear this happy news. While the gesture of uncle and aunt also very does not show happy news. They look so wrong. It was hard to convey this news.

"Last noon, Uncle got a call from.., uh.iya.. Uncle got a call from the village. You have to be patient, Mir. Your mother is in a lot of pain."

Like in a lightning strike. This news shocked Mirna.

"What Uncle??? Mom is very sick....?? What pain, Uncle?? Who told you, Uncle?" Mirna cried while hugging her aunt. Mirna was so hit. She was crying. It's a very heavy blow for Mirna.

She couldn't imagine, if her mother was sick, what would her sisters eat? Because only his mother can make a living. Not to mention for the school fees of his sisters.

"Auntie, how sick Mother is, whether Mother is really sick or has been..," Mirna could not bear to continue her words. Mirna wants to ask if her mother is dead? Because usually, if it is said to be very sick, it means that it has died. This is a big question for Mirna.

"Patience, yes, Mir. ," said the aunt comforted Mirna as her eyes glazed over.

"Yes, Mir... You need to calm down.." Uncle also calmed Mirna down.

Mirna's eyes were filled with tears. He really wants to go home. But where does the money come from to go home. Mirna's mind raged. He's silent now. Aunt's embrace is tightening.

Mirna thought hard, how could she go home. To see her mother who was very sick. Where did He get the money rp.500.000 for the cost of going home. Does uncle give you the fare home? However, Mirna did not dare to reveal it. Not to trouble his uncle.

Suddenly, though..

"Uncle, Mirna wants to go home to see Mom," Mirna said venturing as her tears fell.

"Yes, Mir.., you go home. You should see your mother soon. Uncle's gonna buy you a bus ticket tomorrow morning. Let's leave in the afternoon."

Mirna was happy to hear the words of uncle. However, Mirna's many questions responded to uncle's remarks. Why would Uncle want to take me home? Is Mom dead? If I go home, will I still go back to Bandung? Did I go home without money to buy my mother's medicine? What do the villagers say, I came home with nothing?

A million questions arose in Mirna's heart. However, all those questions were answered. She just wanted to see her mother, hug her sick mother.

"Yes, Uncle. Thank you for the kindness of Uncle and Aunt. Mirna can't repay Uncle and Auntie's kindness." Mirna said a little hard.

"Yes, Mir. Importantly, you can see your mother" said the aunt as she hugged Mirna.

"Yes, I've, Mir, now finish your clothes for you to bring tomorrow. Tomorrow morning uncle will find your ticket. It just so happens tomorrow Sunday, so Uncle's off."

"Yes, Uncle," Mirna replied as she went to the room.

Mirna immediately took care of her clothes. The journey of 3 days and 2 nights must be passed to the village in a village in North Sumatra.
