On Top of Sacred Love
Chapter 3. Hard Choice

In the morning, it was still 06:09 pm, uncle had already heated the car. I'm gonna find a bus ticket for Mirna. The plan, this afternoon Mirna want to go home.

Immediately as if not wanting to waste time, uncle glided. Drive vehicles. The road starts to rame. Time that uncle should use to relax. But now I've struggled with time.

Meanwhile, Mirna still looks sad thinking about the condition of her mother. Not 10 minutes away from home yet, uncle suddenly reduced his speed. Looks like something's wrong. And his hand was looking for something in his pants pocket. Uncle's HP is missing.

"Damn it, my HP is missing." Grumbling, the uncle turned the direction, returning home. Apparently, uncle's HP was left in the room.

With gas, uncle headed home. He doesn't want to run out of tickets. Because usually the bus ticket for departure today must be ordered in advance.

Only a few tickets were not booked. He sits in the back seat. If you are lucky, you get a ticket. The online motorcycle taxi that rotated carelessly made uncle step on the brake suddenly.

Before long, uncle had returned home. Aunt was astonished and approached uncle.

"Why, sir, is Koq home yet?"

"My HP missed," said the uncle rushing towards the room.

There are 2 misscalls.

"Sir Nors, what's wrong?"

Uncle intentionally did not call back. He doesn't want to run out of tickets. He rushed over while saying goodbye to aunt.

"Shelves....". Uncle's car door.

Mirna looks to shed tears. Uncle's return took HP as a sign that he won't be able to go home this afternoon. But he tried to entertain himself. Convince me that uncle will get a ticket.

Uncle's phone rang again, when the car was turned on uncle. 'Pak Nors calling' Seen on uncle's HP screen.

"Waduh Mr. Nors again. It's gonna be a long call." Grouse uncle galau.

"I can run out of my ticket."

Uncle Worry. Difficult choices.

" Hello Mr. Nors." Uncle replied.

"Hello Mr. Rum, where else? I didn't answer my phone,"

"So my HP missed, this is me just back home taking HP."

"Yes Mr. Rum, there's good news, and...."

"What good news is Mr Nors?" Uncle cut... Uncle really can't remember Mirna applying for a job at Mr. Nors' company.

"That's Mr. Nors, pounding the Father, who...Mirna yeah...?

" Yes Mr. Nors, Mirna.. He's welcome, Mr Nors?" Uncle Cecar wants to know soon.

"Mister, Mirna has been accepted to work for our company. And from tomorrow it has to be a health test and work. He was accepted into the finance department of Mr. Rum."

"Thank you Mr. Rum. This is great news for Mirna. He must be happy to be right about this news. Once again, thank you Mr. Nors for his help."

"Ah Mr. Nors, fellow friends must help each other. Coincidentally Mirna's son is Smart, and sweet too, hahahaa"

"But Mr. Nors....." Uncle stopped for a moment.

"If the problem of salari, already big included in our company Mr. Rum."

"Waduh. in the first delay Sir returned home. This is a great opportunity sir. Tomorrow it is more difficult to find work," replied Mr. Nors make uncle more confused.

"But Mr. Nors, Mirna's mother wants surgery. So he has to go home."

"It's up to Mr. Rum, if tomorrow-tomorrow I can't help anymore," said Mr. Nors while turning off his phone.

Uncle was silent a thousand languages in the car. Difficult choices. Which one would you choose?. Uncle seemed to be thinking hard.

"Koq is dumb, Pa? Not just a ticket. The hunt is over, sir. Poor Mirna from earlier cried continuously," said the aunt while banging on the door of uncle's car.

"I'm confused ma'am, which one would you choose?" Said the uncle while opening the car door.

"Mom, here first," said the half-whispered uncle as he pulled mother's hand into the garage.

"Mister Nors needs a phone call, Mirna's been accepted for work. Tomorrow should be a health test and start work."

"Myrna received the job sir? Mercifully.... But how come, his mother's sick."

Uncle and aunt were seen having a serious discussion in the car garage. They have trouble choosing the options.

"Not so buy a ticket, Uncle?" Mirna approaches the garage to surprise her uncle and aunt.

"Eh.iya..Mir, let's go to the living room first huh"

The three of them were sitting in the living room. Uncle again seemed to think hard to convey this news. Good news that will be difficult to accept Mirna.

Bad news and good news, uncle must think hard to convey to Mirna. Looks like aunt gave the code for uncle to start immediately.

Mirna was suspicious. Seeing the movements of uncle and aunt. In his mind, maybe his mother had really died.

Mirna suddenly ran into the room while crying.

"Mirgene." At once the uncle and aunt called out while following Mirna to her room. Auntie went into the room. Uncle's stuck at the entrance. Mirna was crying on the floor of the room while hugging her mother's clothes.

"Myrna, Auntie, you know, your uncle didn't buy a ticket, because Mirna got a job. So tomorrow you have a health test. You're accepted Mirna's job. You should be happy. You can help your mother and your sisters." Aunt hugged Mirna.

Mirna was crying and hearing it. His embrace grew tighter into his aunt's body. His heart is getting worse. Between the village and work.

An emotionally draining choice. He left his mother to work in the city. But now her mother is very sick. He wants to see his mother soon. Uncle's still glued. Silence is silent. Aunt is still trying to calm Mirna down.

"Myrna has to go home, Bi," Mirna pleads with Aunty.

"Myrna must see Mother. Mirna has to go home, Bi." Mirna was crying.

"Myrna..," Uncle tried to convince Mirna. Uncle's voice is a little high.

"If you go home, can you help your mother's treatment, can't you? Uncle suggested you don't go home" Uncle tried to convince Mirna.

"It's a rare opportunity. If you work, you can help your mother. Buying medicine. Remember Mir, if you work from tomorrow, then at the end of the month you have received a salary. And can buy your mother's needs. Just pray. God must have healed your mother. You have to believe. Your mother will be healed."

Uncle spoke rather firmly so that Mirna would not return home.

"Yes Mirna, your ideals will help your mother and your sisters. It's a big chance. Tomorrow you're working and you can help your mother. Buying medicine and other necessities.

Mirna is silent. No more crying. Still hugging his aunt. He took off his arms from aunt. He then walked up to his uncle and hugged his uncle.

"Thank you Uncle, for all your Uncle's kindness. Mirna did not come home uncle. Mirna's going to work tomorrow."
