Renjana Song
Figuring Out

The night slowly changed in the morning. Likewise with the day that certainly alternates with the rising and sinking of the sun. The withered fall, the fallen grow, and so on.

Ranum is back preparing to start his day with a cup of green tea that he sips slowly while still warm. Likewise with Elzein, he had just devoured his favorite seafood fried rice.

''We wait for Papa Yuda first yes, mama's car has not been repaired.'' Ranum told Elzein.

''Yes, mom.''

Not long after, Yuda has arrived at Ranum's house.

''Good morning champ. Are you ready to go to school?'' ask Yuda.

''Each dong papa Yuda.''

''We're leaving now?'' yuda asked Ranum and Elzein.

The pair of mother and child nodded simultaneously.

''Num, said the workshop person later your car will be repaired. Let me have my employees deliver it directly to your office, explained Yuda who returned to drive his car after earlier taking Elzein to school first.

''Thank you, Yuda. We always trouble you.'' Actually, Ranum felt very bad for the two friends who always helped him, Yuda and Maya.

''We should help each other, '' replied Yuda.

''You and Maya are two very meritorious people to me and to Elzein. Without you, maybe I do not know how to continue my life first Ranum said sincerely.

''Come on, don't think about it. We'll be in your office soon.'' Yuda tried to divert Ranum's conversation. He did not want to see Ranum again sad and down like before at the beginning of their meeting.

''It's arrived!'' yuda said while stopping his car.

''Thank you, I went in first, Ranum said before getting out of Yuda's car.

''Be careful.'' Ranum waved his hand before Yuda's car sped away leaving his office courtyard.

From the other side, without Ranum realizing there are a pair of eyes that have since continued to observe him not far from where he stands.

''Boss!''

''Boss, why don't we go down?'' hardy asked his boss.

''You find out all the information about the woman.'' point Agam at Ranum.

''Why is it boss? He is an employee here. Is something wrong?'' ask Hardy.

''Just do what I say!'' said Agam ketus and stepped inside leaving Hardy who was still sitting behind the wheel.

''Boss! The habit is very hobby ndgalin mulu!'' grouse Hardy.

...----------------...

Time back rolling. The time came to show at half-four in the afternoon and that meant the hour to go home from work arrived.

''Finally, kellar is also work.'' said Ranum while stretching his muscles that feel stiff after a full day in front of a computer desk.

''Miss ma'am superiors, please be corrected already I sent her file in your email.'' Ranum just sent a file to Maya.

Maya opened the email immediately. Just at a glance Maya saw and read it, she can make sure that Ranum's work must be very perfect.

''Which part needs to be fixed?'' ask Ranum.

''Perfect!''

''There are no defects!''

''So there are you my work is very helpful. Truly a man worth relying on.'' said Maya brandishing both thumbs on Ranum's face.

''Haisss... I'm no longer familiar with your sweet words said Ranum by singing his lips.

''I'm just adorable, you know?'' ranum said confidently.

''Curtain!''

''Oh yes, you can go home now Num, let me do the rest. You just pick up El pity if your child has to wait too long said Maya while glancing at the clock on the wall.

''There are still fifteen more minutes, I do not want the corruption of time.'' Ranum replied.

''As much as you.''

Ranum began to clean up his desk, tidying up the scattered files. And also confirmed the location of the photo on his desk, a photo he took while on an excursion on the beach with his son.

''Ranum?'' call Maya.

''Yes?''

''You know, our new boss turned out to be very perfectionist and also cruel. You know Dita from the third division, she to tears of fear because she was scolded all out by Mr. Agam, even said she would immediately resign.''

''Why is it?'' tanya Ranum who seems not so interested in the topic of conversation that his best friend said.

''Because he made a fatal mistake when making details of the cost of cooperation with Bumi Terang company. Just imagine, he omitted a single digit in that list. Very careless indeed, fortunately Mr. Agam corrected it directly.'' explained Maya.

''Yes, he has indeed never changed in the past.' Ranum murmured.

''Huh? What did you say just now?'' asked Maya a little.

''Oh, no. Nothing, forget it.'' Ranum diverts the conversation.

''Is there anything you are hiding from me?'' ask Maya guessing.

''No.'' Ranum replied quickly.

''I heard from Yuda, El called someone with a handsome papa. Who her? And how handsome is he to El like that? Not usually also El so, what else said Yuda they just met first.'' asked Maya.

Ranum just exhaled violently and leaned back on the back of the chair to hear what Maya said.

''What's up?'' Maya pulls her chair closer to Ranum.

''No. ''No. It's just that this makes me feel guilty for Elzein.''

''Why, since El always told me about the man, I felt that he actually needed the figure of a father. You know, throughout the day he always discussed the person, even when going to sleep as well.

''Do you think you want to find a father for El?'' ask Maya.

''Or maybe you have a new girlfriend behind my back? Come on, quickly tell me who it is!'' guess Maya.

''You are nothing, May. You know for yourself, all this time I just focused on the body of the El flower. Where could I think of anything other than that Ranum replied.

''What about Yuda?'' ask Maya carefully.

''El has been very close to him. It may not take long for you to adjust to each other.

''Yuda?'' mumbled Ranum. For a moment Ranum dissolved in his reflection.

Ranum approaches his chair with Maya's, eroding the distance between them.

''Can't you? Do you approve if we are together?'' ask Ranum.

''Of course, why not.'' Maya replied with a slight nervousness.

''Yes, I admit that Yuda is a good man, even very good. As long as I knew him, I never once saw him commit a crime. He is very respectful and knows how to treat a woman. He is also a very independent man. He also loved Elzein. And the bonus again he is a pretty handsome man said Ranum by imagining the figure of Yuda.

''It's really a complete package, isn't it?'' ask Ranum to Maya.
