The Heart of Old Menjakaka
213. Janet is sick
On the way, Nissa turned towards Juna who was still sobbing while hugging a plastic bag. Nissa's hand slowly stretched out rubbing both cheeks that continued to be flooded with tears.
"Here you go, don't cry" said Nissa softly. "Talk to Mami, what did Om Tian do to you? Mami will teach him a lesson, if necessary Mami Aduin to your Opamu."
"Om Tian did not say anything, Mi," he replied as he pleased.
"Why can't you cry? Oh, did he say something that hurt you?"
"Juna is just sad, Mi." Juna wiped all her tears, then opened the jar to take one large marble and held it.
"Sadly why?" ask Nissa. His eyes were turned to the thick white plastic that Juna had been hugging ever since. "Where did you get marbles from? What's in the plastic you're holding?"
"It's a marble from Om Tian, good, Mi." Juna opened his hand. Showing green marbles. The green looks flickering.
"You cry because you are given marbles with him?"
"Yes, but Juna was sad because he wanted to be with Papi." Juna's face shriveled, his clear circles flowing back. She moved her body closer and hugged Nissa.
"Why do you want Papi? You miss him?"
"Not at all." Juna shook his head quickly. "Juna was just sad because Om Tian reminded him, he said play may, but do not forget to eat and learn."
"So, where's the problem?" Nissa's forehead flinched. I don't understand the meaning of his son. The words he thought were normal. It was not only him who often said such things to Juna, but his family as well.
"No problem, but what Om Tian said instead reminded Juna of Papi. Papi rarely loves toys, and once he also never talked like that. But it's ...." Juna hung up his words because he wiped his tears. "Om Tian said rich? Om Tian, you know Juna, how is he good? He also gave the money to Juna, even though he said his office was bankrupt. He must be kere, Mi." Juna reached into the plastic bag, then picked up the envelope and showed it to Nissa.
"Will he take the money?"
"Juna didn't understand, but he said the money was for Juna, for snacks."
"Why do you accept it? You should just refuse, that's Om Tian's salary money, Jun, as long as he works."
"Juna knows. But Om Tiannya himself was loving. The name of sustenance should not be denied said Opa, Mi."
"But anyone knows he needs it, Jun. Where did you work now?"
Juna shakes. "Juna did not ask. Indeed why? Mami wants Om Tian to work at the restaurant again?"
Nissa shakes. "No."
"Why ask? Oh yes, Om Tian was also a story, he said he had no parents. Poor thing, Mi, Om Tian is an orphan. I live alone at home. Suppose he's sick, nobody knows dong."
"There must be a maid in her house, there can't be alone." Nissa rubbed Juna's head and kissed her hair. "Oh yeah, today go home, huh? No need to stay anymore."
"No, Mi." Juna shakes. "Juna wants to spend time at Opa's house, Juna wants revenge with Om Steven."
"Remain bales of revenge? Did Om Steven have any fault with you?"
"Om Steven is evil, Mi. Yesterday 'kan Juna same Opa want to come with him to buy crusts eggs. It's bummer." Juna crossed her lips with a manyun.
"Maybe busy. Don't take revenge on everything, any more sins. Not good, going to hell."
"But Opa kok ngusulin. Then Opa also go to hell dong."
"What is his revenge like?" ask Nissa curiously.
"Said later Om Steven don't talk to, let him know the taste. But Juna forgot to tell Aunt Citra, Mami try to call Aunty later. Let him follow."
"Oh, yeah, I'll call her later." Nissa smiled in agreement. Such revenge for him was no problem.

In Thomi's office.
"Thank you, yes, Mr. Steven, Mr. Rizky," Thomi said, shaking hands with Steven and Rizky. The three of them had finished the meeting.
"Together," replied Steven smiling. "Then I'll go home, sir."
"Me too, sir." Rizky answered. Just as her foot stepped about to leave with Steven, Thomi immediately called out to him.
"Wait a minute Mr. Rizky!"
Rizky stopped her steps, then turned around.
"I'd like to have a quick chat with you, would you?" pinta Thomi's. The man nodded too. Steven had already passed away from there and was overtaken by Dika.
"That's, I want to ask you a question, my assistant said, I'm looking for a CEO. Right or not?" ask Thomi.
Rizky nodded. "really. I happen to be overwhelmed with two offices, so I want to find the CEO, let my job be light."
"I have friends, sir. He used to be the CEO in his own office, but now he's an unemployed man. Could it be if he was the CEO?"
"Why is he unemployed now? Company bankrupt?" Rizky only guessed, but was on target once.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Why go bankrupt? If he holds my company, he can go bankrupt, too."
"Not necessarily, sir." Thomi shook her head quickly. Although he himself was unsure, it was impossible for him to demonize Tian either. He wanted to help the man get a job. "You try to ask questions first, if suitable can be thought of. All this time what I've seen .. good work, only yesterday he was again hit by a disaster."
"Yes, tomorrow he was told to come to my office. But the other office is, sir. I'll send the address to my father. Oh yeah, and one more." Rizky's index finger raised. "Don't forget, just send by email."
"Okay, thank you, sir."
"Together." Rizky smiled, after which she stepped away.

The Angga house.
The old man stepped out of the house while carrying a plate containing pieces of carrots, his intention was to feed his two parrots.
However, on the way to the security guard post, inside the bird cage there was no one. Neither Kevin nor Janet.
"Lho, where are my two sterns, Jo?" asked Angga to Bejo who was standing in front of the gate.
"Kevin hasn't come home in the morning, sir. He said he had permission to fly. If Janet's been in the glodok since morning." Since Angga kept the birds, Bejo's task has increased to watch him.
"Oh." Angga opened the cage door, then grabbed the egg-laying house to check if there is Janet or not, while putting a piece of carrot on the place to eat.
"Lho, Net. You why?" tanyanya grabbed the female bird.
When touched, Angga felt Janet's body hot. The female bird was also leaning her head against the wooden wall of the glodok. Looks lethargic and uninspired.
"You don't seem to be feeling well, Net. I think Papa should take it to the doctor." Immediately, Angga picked up Janet, then snatched her up.
"My head hurts, Papa," Janet said weakly. "My stomach is also nauseous."
"Where are you going?" ask Citra who just got out of the car, came home from campus. He saw Angga who was about to get into his car while holding Janet.
"Papa's going to the vet, check on Janet. Want to come with you?" hagga.
"You." Citra immediately ran towards Angga's car, then went in there with her in-laws and sat in the back seat.
Bejo, who saw him, got into the car and drove.
"What is Janet sick about, Pa? How do you want to be taken to the doctor?" ask Citra with hands sticking out to stroke Janet's yellow crest. The bird lay on the lap of Angga.
"Doesn't that feel like you, Janet's body is hot on the deck? I think he has a fever."
"Yes, kasa. It hurts like him."
"Yes, Papa wants to take him to the doctor. Oh yeah, you've eaten and permission hasn't been the same old husband of yours? Will be angry again when you know you're coming with Papa."
"I've eaten in the cafeteria earlier, this I'll send a chat with Aa Ganteng." Image opened his backpack, then took the phone inside.
"What did you call Steven? Aa?" Angga's ears suddenly felt itchy, when Citra called his new call.
"Yes. Aa handsome herself wants it, Pa."
"Don't want to."
"Why?" Citra's forehead flinched.
"Not suitable. He's too old for you. Just call Om, or if not, Abah. Steven Abah, that fits perfectly."
...Not Aki, Pa? 🤣...
