Love se upiel's.
*****
A week after Rai's departure abroad, Esta chose to leave Salamah's house. Right now he's stuck in a ridge. Facing every memory left by Rai.
So many memories there. To make Esta almost powerless to hold back tears.
today, Esta plans to pick up the rest of her belongings that are still in the hamlet. He took the one thing that was most important to him. That is, photos of USG results that he still kept neatly on the room table.
Esta looked at the black and white photograph. He smiled as he stroked her and kept her neatly in his wallet.
today, Esta plans to go to Semarang. There he will work in a cloth shop owned by acquaintance Mpok Nur. Mpok Nur also who has kindly opened the way to Esta.
Esta looked at the items that were there one by one. He imagined when Rai snored on his mattress and made him unable to sleep all night until he was upset.
Recalling those fond memories, made Esta smile with a bitter heart. Be ill.
After tidying up her belongings, Esta sat for a moment at the computer desk. Trying to regulate the rhythm of his breath that seemed to want to explode. He looked at the envelope of Salamah that he had placed in his bag.
The envelope contained the money given by Salamah. Esta had rejected him, but she kept forcing him to accept the money.
“Use this money for your needs there before you receive salary.” Saying Salamah at that time.
“Please don't push, Esta. Grandma didn't mean anything. Grandma just doesn't want you to be hard there alone.” Citra.
And so. Esta finally accepted the money.
Esta's communication with Rai is still going well. At least it lasted for a year after Rai left.
But after that, the man rarely contacted him. Otherwise, he who had not had the chance to pick up the phone from Rai.
Over time, their communication is increasingly rare and busy with their respective affairs.
Two years working in a fabric store, Esta had little savings to start a business. He always saved half his salary for a small laundry business capital.
Now the result of his savings is enough to rent a small shophouse and buy several washing machines for his business. Added to the Salamah gift that he has not used at all. He does all the work himself.
And in the third year, Esta has managed to open the second branch of the laundry business. And in the ninth year, he has successfully opened more than 21 laundry branches throughout the Central Java region and surrounding areas by employing more than 200 employees.
And for the past nine years, he has never been in contact with Rai. He was busy with his real life. He never even heard from the man again.
Until it doesn't feel like 10 years have just passed. Esta is now 29 years old. Nothing has changed from being a Universe. Even his body shape was still the same as before. A little fat. It's just that he's getting a few centimeters taller. The difference now is that he can take care of himself. So her appearance was already much more beautiful than before.
His attitude became more mature. He is now the chairman of his company, which he calls the Laundry Universe.
Most of its employees are people who hold social welfare status. There were only a few highly educated people he hired to help him manage each branch. The rest, there are only ordinary people who have almost the same life as before.
Sometimes, people are potentially born to people who are not highly educated. They have no diploma for confession. Not infrequently Esta took them from social institutions, or from the streets. As much as possible Esta wants to help people who have the same life as her.
He could not help everyone immediately. But at least he could do what he could to ease their burden.
Once upon a time, Esta was eating on the side of the road. He saw a group of Satpol-PP officers who were trying to order beggars. There, he saw a woman in her 50s in shabby clothes. The woman was netted by the raid and was immediately taken to the office for data.
Esta followed and waited outside the social service office until the woman came out. After coming out, he immediately approached the woman who seemed to have cried.
“Mommy wants to come with me? I can't give you much money. But I guarantee, mom can eat three times a day and can buy decent clothes.” Rayu Esta's.
The mother named Narsih was crying. And now, Ms. Narsih works as a cook in the employee mess belonging to Laundry Universe. Indeed Esta deliberately provides mess for all its employees in each branch because most of them have no place to live. He also paid for the cost of eating them all. He even lives in the same mess as them. He is happy to help and share.
And to get to this point, it wasn't an easy thing for Esta. He has fallen many times, deceived, scolded and maki customers. But past events managed to shape his heart and personality to not give up easily and keep trying to rise.
Esta was sitting and reading the report at her desk when Giri, one of her trusted employees, walked in and approached her. The 19-year-old Giri immediately submitted the file to Esta.
“Where is the meeting?” Ask Esta.
“Current dong, Mbak. Who was.” Giri said to be proud.
Giri is a street child that Esta took to be hired as her employee. Giri respects him as much as his other employees.
“And starting next week, they agreed to cooperate with us. Universe Laundry will be the official partner of Ratu Hotel.” Said Giri fiery.
“I am not wrong with your value. You are a smart kid.”
“That's been recognized by the world, Ma'am. The only difference is I do not have a diploma doang.” Seloroh Giri's.
Esta just chuckled as if she heard it. He was lucky to be given a good feeling in judging someone, while his brain was just mediocre.
“Yaudah there continue. I also want to continue this.”
“What's more chatan?” Giri Protest.
“Chattingan equals who?”
“Yes same thing with that Mbak dumay. What's that name? I forgot.” Giri seemed to think hard.
“You mean, Sena?”
“Oh, yes. Sena.”
“Jam as soon as he works. It's there.” Banish Esta
And finally Giri left with his manyun lips.
