THE 2ND MAN

THE 2ND MAN
Chapter 25. Make Decision!


I have been pondering for two days, considering the offer from my distant cousin Yuni. Yes, two days ago I was on the phone with Yuni, out of nowhere she knew my number, maybe from my father, because my father often went to the house of Mr. Dhe, his parents were Yuni. He offered me to follow him to work in Surabaya precisely in a paper factory, he said in the folding and gluing section needed some workers.


Yuni's fate is not more or less the same as mine. But he was a little bit luckier because even though he was separated from his son, he could still meet his son whenever he wanted. While me? Never mind meeting him, seeing him from a distance just can not.


Last night I asked my mother and father for an opinion, and they allowed it. But I am still very much separated from my son. Even though I was home, I was separated from my son.


After pondering it once more, I finally decided to accept Yuni's offer. Maybe I can try first to divert my mind, who knows when gathering with the crowd will slightly ease the burden of my mind. I took my phone and immediately sent a chat to mbak Yuni. I wanted to call her, but it's still eleven, Yuni must still be working. If I send him a message, he will definitely read it at rest.


[Mbak] - I-I


I doubt I actually am, but I hope this is the best decision.


[Mbak Yun, I accept the offer. When can I leave?]


After that I put my phone back on the table and then rushed out to find my mother. But I didn't see him in the house. I looked forward to it as well, and the only thing left was the cowshed behind the house. And sure enough, my mom was there.


"Your!" Greet me as I approach the mother who is feeding cows in the cage.


"Eh, what's up?" He stopped his activities for a moment.


"I've decided, I accept Yuni's offer." I answered softly while looking down. My tears can no longer be broken. She immediately threw away the grass in her hand and hugged me tightly.


"Already! According to my mother, it was the right decision. Than you at home also can not meet Bagas, better bring work alone." I felt my mother's left hand stroke my hair, while her right hand stroked my back.


"Actually my mother also took you off heavily, but my mother was sick to see you fall like this." My mother's body suddenly trembled like it was holding back her cries. After our embrace unraveled, mother continued to feed the cows while I went back inside the house to check the reply message from mbak Yuni. And it turns out that there was already a message from mbak Yuni who entered.


[As for you Nja, tomorrow can also be] - Yuni-


[Dare to go alone?] - Yuni-Yuni


Two messages from mbak Yuni, I immediately replied to her.


[I don't dare mbak, I don't know the place?] - I-I-I don't


[Okay, just relax! Later I ask Arif for help to anterin you here] - Yuni-Yuni


Arif is Yuni's maternal cousin's sister. She was actually older than Yuni, but because she was the son of her sister her mother was Yuni, she called her Arif without frills.


[Lho, did Arif not work?] - I-I-I do


[Well, a week at home. Just let me know if you're ready to go] - Yuni-Yuni


[Tomorrow I'm ready mbak] - Me-I


[Okay, later after Arif's call, I'll call you again] - Yuni-Yuni


[Okay mbak!] - Me-I-ku


After that, while waiting for news from mbak Yuni, I prepared everything I would bring tomorrow. Now my heart is ready to go to work in Surabaya.
