Sharing Love: Winning Without Love
Seasons 2 - Bedtime Stories
Continuing their conversation that night, Radit was then reminded of his experience working when he was young. Slowly, he looked at his wife's face, "i used to work at a big company, baby, before I worked at the Bank and then married you" the man began the story.
hearing that her husband was talking seriously, Khaira sat down to look at her husband's face, "continue? How's it?" Ask her husband.
"When I was very young, it was usual if I was young, not long after graduating college it was high spirit. At that time I worked at a large construction company called Jaya Corp. Well, at that time I was trusted to be the Team Leader to uncover cases of alleged corruption committed by the CEO's biological children," he said again.
But before Radit continued the story, Khaira actually first opened her voice, "Well, you are cool dong Mas ... young is believed to uncover cases of alleged corruption, but difficult 'not Mas?" Ask her husband.
Radit then smiled to see the face of his wife who looked excited by the story, his expression was so similar to Arsyilla when read a children's fairy tale book. Radit also held his wife's hands, "yes it was, Darling ... for successfully dismantling the case of alleged bribery and fundraising of the company, my name became famous throughout the company. Yeah, a lot of people told me my name, he said I was young enough to expose corruption cases in the company. What do you think I felt at that time?" This time it was Radit who asked his wife to guess how she felt at that time.
Khaira looks at the face of her husband first, trying to find answers that may be printed in both her eyeballs, "euhm, maybe on the one hand you are happy because you managed to dismantle corruption cases. However, on the one hand you feel burdened because surely since then, the leader and maybe colleagues so expect high against you. So the term, work must be really good, continue if the audit process is very much awaited findings." Khaira answered by guessing how her husband felt at the time.
Radit nodded, "very satisfied .. I feel confident and my ability as an Auditor is good because it can uncover corruption cases, to drag two suspects into prison. After that, I was honestly depressed. Right what you said, the SPI Chief and co-workers were expecting high from me. It was that expectation that required me to work perfectly. I finally chose to leave the company. However, not long after I got a job as an Auditor at a Private Bank when it kept meeting you first at our wedding." The man recalled the story of his life journey he shared with his wife.
Khaira continued to listen to the story from her husband, without wanting to interrupt, she just opened her hearing wide to be able to hear all the stories from her husband. Khaira then filled her husband's fingers with her fingers. Link fingers together as if they were filling each other.
Radit then smiled, "from my story, I learned indeed if someone put high expectations on us, it was a burdened kita. Prosecuted must work perfectly, not to make mistakes. Likewise with you, dear, maybe the Head of Prodi at your campus is expecting high to you. Because you are young, your degree is a graduate of Manchester University, how to teach you good, and you certainly have the competence as a good teacher. I just want a message, whatever the expectations of people out there, anyway you should not be burdened. Just do what makes you happy and comfortable."
Khaira nodded her head, "maybe yes Mas ..Maybe the Chief Prodnya so expect high to me. I still have a lot to learn myself. Now is my time to do more for Arsyilla than to learn or increase my competence as a Lecturer. More or less I'm just like you when you were young, happy yes if we are considered worthy, but maybe one day it can be a burden."
Feeling her husband was giving her advice, Khaira nodded her head and now she shifted to be able to lean her head on the chest of her husband's field, "bener Mas. Like this one I like every time I talk to you, not only is my story you're horrified, but you also give advice."
Radit laughed and put his kiss on his wife's forehead, "not that too Dear. When I was young, many people had high expectations of me. Almost a company in Jaya Corp used to know who Radit was. But all of that makes me uncomfortable. The same thing I want to happen to Syilla tomorrow. We as parents do not expect too much from him. Let him pursue his dreams and ideals according to his interests, talents, and passions. If his parents expect high and end up pressing him, pity him dear" again he said, embracing his wife's shoulder.
"Agree Mas .. for me, Arsyilla and her sister will succeed. I want to be whatever I have no problem. Want to be an Auditor like his Papa is okay, want to be a Lecturer like his Mama is also okay. We, as parents, guide and direct them to pursue their dreams." Khaira spoke with conviction.
"Yes dear .. All professions are noble. Let Arsyilla and her sister achieve their own dreams. As parents, it is undeniable that we have dreams for our children, but let them pursue their own dreams" Radit said with a serious look at the moment.
"You too Dear .. if the situation and conditions have allowed you to be very permissible to pursue your dreams. Remember, your husband will continue to support you" he told Khaira.
Khaira nodded her head, her heart feeling so warm hearing the story and advice from her husband. Sometimes there is a time that excessive expectations make a person feel uncomfortable. However, when we dare to step up and do what we like, it is precisely that which brings relief and satisfaction in the heart.
"Makasih Mas .. wah, it will be precisely bedtime stories that are the same as you. It tells the story of you I just found out. Apparently her husband is indeed the spearhead of SPI anyway it turns out. I'm proud to have a husband like you" Khaira suddenly praised her husband.
Radit chuckled in laughter, "you could have been darling. Yes it is, it is night ... Yuk, bobok ... I hugged all night. Love U My Lovely Wifey." closed the story and put an affectionate kiss on his wife's forehead.
