TINI SUKETI
109. Hopeful Anxious

Evi and Dayat leave the house of the old lady of the hill owner with a face implying half the relief. Only half the relief. Because half of them did not know the decision moreover that the famous old woman would make.

Not without reason the hill has not been sold until now. The thoughts and hearts of the elderly widow of her owner still change as often as the weather. But pocketing the words ‘price is still the same as eight years ago’ makes the two brothers a little entertained.

“What is important before Mbak Tini wants to keep it long, we ask once again the same certainty Mbah. I will ask,” said Dayat when they arrived home.

“There is now one more wedge,” says Evi.

“What?” ask Dayat.

“I have to nelfon Mas Wibi,” muttered Evi, walked into the house and rushed into the room. The girl took her cell phone.

“Ya, why?” tanya Dayat again, watching her brother step into the house.

“You little boy doesn't know yet,” replied Evi.

“Tadi pasngerayu the Mbah that I did not say little boy,” sumpul Dayat. But his words were ignored by Evi.

Evi was silent for a while while listening to the tone of the call. Shortly thereafter, Wibisono was heard from across the phone.

“Mas! Mas! Wonten sek revamped planane." (Mas! Mas! There's a change of plan.)

Monday at lunch, Tini's stomach feels not hungry. Tini sat on one of the sofa lobby of the Cahaya Mas Group building. His enthusiasm and happiness made him full. This morning they had a meeting about the results of the achievements of each training officer. And Tini was stunned because it turned out that what she heard yesterday was indeed true. Two factories made a cooperation agreement with the Cahaya Mas Group.

However, Tini's happiness is still hampered. Bonus disbursement cannot be done immediately. At the latest the bonus can only be received in the next three months.

Tini pulled out her phone and typed a message for Evi. Several times he typed and deleted the message he was about to send. Tini then opened the calculator application and calculated how much total money he would receive in the next three months. Then he took a long breath.

“If the bonus could go straight to liquid, my plan would have gone smoothly. And the grandmother will not change her mind again,” muttered Tini.

As he was pensively staring at his pair of feet, a pair of gleaming male shoes stopped in front of him. Tini looked up. A handsome man with narrow eyes stood looking at him with a frowning forehead. The man's two hands were in his pocket and another man was standing next to the man.

“Pak?” tini, straighten up the body and neutralize his face.

“Why you? Your face should not be that after getting news about the two factories. Any other problems?” ask Dean.

“No, Sir. There's no other problem. All suggestions Mr about the visit ..” Tini glanced at the man next to Dean, as the man picked up the phone and started fiddling with it, Tini continued “soal would-be-in-law's house, all safe.”

“So about others? Whahuh? I don't like it when my employees face .. ahem, sorry. I don't like it when my employees have their faces full of pain like that." Dean pointed at Tini's face. "Especially with the good news you receive from hard work. You should be able to look happier,” continued Dean.

“Nothing, Sir.” Tini glanced back at the man near Dean.

Dean looked to his right side. “Oh, briefly ...,” Dean told Tini. “Lo sit there for a while. Make sure the hearing distance is safe. I'd like to talk to you for a minute with this Ma'am,” pinta Dean on his male employees.

“Ready, Sir,” said the man's employee, then turned to Tini. “Mbak, a woman's beauty always radiates through her eyes first. Mouth can say ‘not’, but eyes already say ‘iya’. Spill all—”

Dean took a breath looking at his staff. The man immediately stopped talking.

“I wait over there, sir,” said the man's employee then went towards the empty sofa row.

Dean sat next to Tini half a meter away. The man crossed his legs elegantly and put his hands together on his knees. “OK, I have twenty minutes to hear the cause of your face suffering from it,” Dean said.

“I don't want to complain, sir. If I complain, I am not grateful. It's really okay. Maybe the time is not right,” said Tini.

“Nineteen minutes left,” Dean said without turning his head.

“You are complaining, but I will hear. By the way, sixteen more minutes,” Dean said, glancing at the clock on his left wrist.

“I have a complicated problem that is difficult to explain, sir. In short ... I want to buy a piece of land in the village. I need to hurry. There are some things that require me to buy the land as soon as possible. Moreover, the landowner was very unstable. I like to change suddenly. But .. sorry before, sir. I was expecting that bonus. But it didn't come out right away. But—but that's no problem. I don't want to complain. Father nanya, I answer. That's aja. Don't think I'm complaining. I—”

“Hush—hush—Suketi …. You're so noisy. Too many but. There are complicated issues that are hard to explain but you managed to explain them. The point is, need money but the bonus can not be immediately liquid? That's it, right?” This time Dean slightly twisted his body looking at Tini. The man swayed the end of his shoes casually.

“Because the landowner was an old widow who often changed the price. That one don't forget,” connect Tini.

“Udah rich stock price changes every time,” murmured Dean.

“Perhaps inspired by it, Sir,” welcome Tini, grimacing.

Dean sneers. “OK, ten minutes left. So!” Dean called out to the male employee who immediately turned his head when he called out his name.

“Ready, Sir.” Not for a minute, the man's employee was already standing in front of his superior.

“Count,” pinta Dean.

The man pulled out his cell phone and squeezed it for a while. “Oke, please, Sir.”

Dean wiped his phone screen and scrolled to the email section. A few moments his forehead was cringing while counting. He then raised his eyes on his staff. “Calculate land sale and purchase tax. Land prices ask Mbak Suketi. Get how much total money must be spent by Mbak Suketi. I wait three minutes,” pinta Dean.

“OK, Ma'am, let's get started. My name is Santoso Thahir. I am one of the quite senior lawyers at Danawira’s Law Firm. I—”

“Udah one minute, So,” said Dean reminded.

“Siap—ready, let's start, Mbak.” Santoso regained his senses and did what his boss had asked him to do. Santoso immediately sat down next to Tini and began to speak very seriously.

Even three minutes talking to Tini, Santoso immediately looked up from his cellphone. “Completed, Sir. The total has been obtained. Please look,” reports Santoso, thrusting a piece of paper he scribbled while talking to Tini.

Dean spent a minute reading the book. He then nodded. “This still goes into your budget, Suketi. You actually just need to be patient, then the land can be yours. But, since you are impatient, and you categorize it as urgent, I help you. I will ask the management to issue your bonus at the beginning. But ... In order to ensure that the bonus is actually used to buy land, I will send my most competent staff to handle the transaction. Mr. Santoso,” said Dean, looking at Santoso.

The man named Santoso nodded towards Tini elegantly.

"Mother doesn't believe that I want to buy land?” Tini turned her body to look at Dean.

Dean stood up from his seat and took a deep breath. “I only protect your right not to be abused by others. That's big money .. At least for you. And you're saying that the owner's old widow is very unstable? Leave the business to Mr. Santoso. You can sit quietly working while waiting for the affair to be settled.” Dean glanced at the clock on his wrist. “It's been twenty minutes past a few seconds. Our time is over. Later you will be contacted by Mr. Santoso as soon as possible,” said Dean, turning his body and leaving Tini flabbergasted.

“My problem was finished in just twenty minutes,” muttered Tini, staring at the slender-eyed man's back.
