Rain Teach Me Strong
Start a new life

Gunawan rushed into his master's house and went straight into Jefry's study. With a slightly panicked face, Gunawan directly faced Jefry.

"Sir...." Gunawan's voice sounded very anxious.

"Why, Gun? It seemed like something was very precarious," Tukas Jefry stared at the assistant's face.

"It's Mister... Yogi failed to follow the travel car that Miss Zee and Mrs Janet were riding in, "reported Gunawan and did not dare to raise his head, because Gunawan expected him to be angry.

"What's? How can Yogi lose track!" Jefry's jolt was upset as he kicked down his desk. Jefry's face implied anger with eyes that lit up with emotion.

"Yogi said, when you want to follow a travel car. Yogi's car stopped because there was a train passing by and that's when Yogi lost track of the travel car" said Gunawan.

Brakkk

Again Jefry kicked his desk, his breath hunting for his anger. It could be Yogi, lost the travel car and have to find where Zee and Mami Janet are.

Jefry is restoring her coarse hair, while thinking about how to find Zee and Mami Janet in the near future.

What if her brother asks her where they are. What would he say to his brother.

"What's this about? Why are you breaking the table?" Ask Haris to Jefry.

Jefry is stunned by his brother's arrival to his study and Jefry swallows his Saliva, his tongue Kelu to answer his brother's questions. Likewise, Gunawan quietly did not answer Haris' question.

"Why are you two being quiet? Is something going on?" Haris asked again and looked at the two people who were looking confused.

"Marine...!" Urge Haris.

"This ... About Zee and Mba Janet" Jefry replied in a cautious tone.

"Why my wife and daughter?" Harris was getting curious.

"Yogi lost track of Zee and Mba Janet's travel car."

"What's? Where Yogi lost that travel car." Haris asked again, trying to temper his emotions.

"In the Cianjur area" replied Gunawan.

"Cianjuris? What's... Can't Janet go back to her hometown?" Haris said slowly while recalling the residence of his parents Janet. Haris once went to Janet's parents' hometown.

"Do you know where Zee and Mba Janet went?" Ask Jefry.

"Maybe they went there. This is just a sister presumption. Try asking Yogi to go to Janet's hometown."

"Good brother."

Haris came out after giving the full address of Janet's hometown and hopefully it is true that both are there.

***

Mami Janet and Zee arrive at her grandmother's late hometown. Janet immediately invites Zee to meet her brother. Despite decades of not setting foot in this village, Mami Janet still poults with her mother's brothers' house.

"Assalamualaikum, Aunt Na...."

"Wa'allaikumsalam... Uh!" The fifty-seven-year-old woman replied.

Aunt Na is shocked by the arrival of Mami Janet. Aunt Na sharpened her eyesight fearing that the person standing at her doorstep was not Janet. For decades I have not met him.

"Bye...."

"It's Janet, isn't it?" He said in disbelief.

"Yes, I'm Janet, Bi."

"Yes Allah... Janet!" Aunt Na immediately hugged Mami Janet, letting go of a longing she hadn't seen.

"How are you? Why did you come here?"

"My news is good and I'm sorry I just got to see my aunt here."

After that, Zee and Mami Janet were told to rest first at aunt Na's house.

Ting....

One message goes to Zee's phone and Zee immediately opens the message that turns out to be from Joko.

"Mother, the car's been sold and Joko has already transferred the money."

"Thank God then. With that money, we can pay rent and capital for our business. What do you think is a suitable venture?"

"I can't answer it yet. Later we think again, about what business is right for us," said Zee who now lay his body in bed.

"Don't be sure, we think. I'm tired and want to go to sleep quickly" said Mami Janet and immediately rested her body, then slept.

The night is getting late. Zee, who had not closed her eyes, was sitting hugging a Teddy bear from Marshall. Zee looks at Marshall's photo on his phone, a photo of himself and Marshall going to the beach.

"It's only been a day that I've been away from you, but this longing has begun to mount." Lirih Zee looked at the photo of Marshall smiling cheerfully.

"What are you again? Do you miss me too."

I could not feel her tears falling down her cheeks. Apparently this miss tormented him. I want Zee to see Marshall in person, even from afar. But it is impossible for that to happen.

Zee is back in bed. He hugged a Teddy bear and tried to forget Marshall from his memory.

Even in the morning, it emits a bright light in the morning. Zee who was still curled up, covered in thick. He did not open his eyes because of the cold in the morning.

"Zeez... Wake up, it's morning." Mami Janet shook Zee's still curled body.

"Still sleepy, ma'am and cold," rau Zee said.

"Just have to get up" forced Mami Janet to pull Zee's arm.

"Yes-yes, I'm up."

With laziness Zee opened her eyes that still felt sticky, then came down from the mattress. Dragging his footsteps into the bathroom.

Finished bathing Zee helped aunt Na in the kitchen, frying the freshly-up cassava from behind her house.

"Where is his sleep good?" Ask aunt Na.

"Your voice, Grandma."

"Later, we'll go see Mr. Saleh's house. The house that Janet will occupy."

"Yes, Grandma."

After breakfast, Mami Janet, Zee and Aunt Na go to Mr. Saleh's rented house. It was about twenty meters from aunt Na's house.

"This is her house" said aunt Na when she arrived in front of the rented house. The house is not too big, but the place is beautiful.

"It has come apparently," said Mr. Saleh who had just arrived.

"Yes, sir," replied Aunt Na.

Mr. Saleh immediately opened the door of the house and let her in. Zee and Mami Janet look around the house.

"Where? Like ?" Ask Mr. Saleh.

"Yes, sir" said Mami Janet.

It feels suitable to the house, and directly pay the rent. Zee and Mami Janet will occupy the house that day.

Mami Janet immediately bought home appliances, such as mattresses, cabinets, TVs and kitchen utensils. It was at home that Zee and Mami Janet's new day began.

Starting a new life and certainly the life that Zee had hoped for, which was to live with his mother. Live together and fight together, starting a business that is certainly a halal business.
