Trauma of Marriage
4. Seeking Comfort
Rani thought her plan to work in the city could be as smooth as imagined. But he ended up only 5 months of work at the company that made him go to Jakarta. During his work there Rani instead of sending monthly money to his mother because previously he wanted to help the family economy, but he instead asked to be sent money because the savings were not enough and it happened every month.
Rani was looking for another job that she felt comfortable from various aspects.until she met with a person who offered a job with a high salary and finally Rani was interested in joining them.
This is a good opportunity if the salary offered is really high enough to be able to send money monthly to Mom, so thought Rani.
Sure enough his salary is high and his position is on par with the manager, but Rani must find someone to join his team, and the target is middle to upper class people. Of course Rani can not continue her work, because the system works the same as MLM. Rani only lasted 3 months.
What about Dimas?
Dimas himself has got another job whose place is not too far from Rani's boarding. Sometimes Dimas stopped by the hostel to just meet Rani or take Rani for a walk.
On the way back to the boarding house after they went for a walk while looking for food, Rani saw there was a "Job Vacancy" inscription in one of the retailers near her boarding house. Without thinking Rani immediately prepare her application file.
After waiting for a few days, Rani is called for a job interview and finally Rani is accepted for a job placed in retail near her boarding house.
Rani calls her mother and tells her that from tomorrow she can work and Rani promises to send her monthly money from her work. Rani quite a long time working at this retail, although sometimes have to enter a night shift because this retail store is open 24 hours.
*Some months later..
"Rani, Mother and Alea will be going to Jakarta later this month. I want to see you all in the new year. It must be rame there, right?" I said I was happy when I called Rani
"Yes ma'am, it's rame that new year. We will go to roundabout HI. It must be a real race"
"Yeeey, later my brother will buy a lot of snacks. continue to the zoo as well. Yeah?" connect with Alea who took over the phone Mom held
"Yes, deck,"
"Nih ma'am" said the 12-year-old boy handed his phone to his mother again
"Later Rani sent her address yes ma'am"
"Yes Ran. Don't forget to pray."
"Hehe yaa ma'am"
"Dimas likes to play?" ask Mom
"Like bu hehe" replied Rani cengengesan
"Don't macem-macem yeah. I don't know what you're doing, but Allah knows it"
"Yes yes, buu"
"Jaudah, I'm closing the phone, wassalamu'alaikum"

"Momuu" greeted Rani to her mother who had just arrived to be picked up by Dimas
"It's healthy, baby?" ask Mom
"Alhamdulillah ma'am, how is the journey?"
"Macet tau brother ihh" replied Alea
"Jude come in come on"
"What do you drink? Want some ice or something?" tanya Rani offers to mom and Alea
"I want ice dong brother"
"Yaudah bentar brother buy first in the future ya"
"Let me buy it" said Dimas, offering himself
"Well, what's the ice deck?"
"P*p ice is chocolate-flavored" Lea replied
"What do you want ice?" ask Rani
"One day for Lea" said the mother who did not want to trouble her son
"Buy avocado flavor for Mom yes" said Rani slightly whispered to Dimas
"Oiyah is the same snack as well yaa"
"Ready" said Dimas
"The area is also the cost" said Mother
"It's a pretty mom"
"When are we ragunan?" asked the excited Alea
"When do you want? This deck wants to be hehe at any time" replied Rani
"Hmm how about last year?" ask Leah again
"Rame will be mah, tomorrow only"
"Yeeey!"
The next day they went to Ragunan which is located in South Jakarta. Alea was very happy to see such a wide variety of animals that she normally could only see from the television screen.
Rani, Alea, and Mother take turns to be ushered Dimas to Ragunan. Because the distance from the hostel is quite close to the Ragunan Wildlife Park.
New Year's Eve arrived and they went to places where many people gathered to celebrate the new year 2013.
** 6 months later.. **
Rani decided to leave the retail store, and look for other job vacancies, which ended up working in retail stores also just different names.
At the retail store now Rani lasted quite a long time too, after getting bored she resigned and looking for another job. Such a cycle keeps repeating, either to add to the experience or because he is always bored.
Until the end of 2014 arrived, Rani was still looking for a job, after being accepted she worked then a few months she resigned. Continuing like that, Dimas who saw it also suggested to find a job in his city so as not to spend a lot of money because of course the cost of living is greater if you continue to move around the workplace.
Dimas's advice is a consideration for Rani, Rani calls Mom and asks for advice on how good it is. I agree what Dimas suggested, Rani better work here because more monitored also by mother, so thought Mother.
In mid-2015 Rani tried to sell bags online that she marketed in the facebook market place following Dimas who sold motorcycle spare parts for his side work since the end of 2014.
Rani's business selling bags did not last long, she was looking for another fortune again but the results were the same. Eventually he found another job and got a job in a bank save loan which is quite well known among mothers.
His relationship with Dimas was also not always harmonious but every time they quarreled must have quickly made up. They already have the intention to continue their relationship to a more serious level.
During Dimas work and do side jobs, he did not collect enough money for his wedding expenses because the money was always used to buy spare parts stock.
The longer his side job decreased until finally he had to slam the price so that the stock he had bought was sold to be able to immediately ask Rani to be his wife. But the money he collected was still lacking, Dimas told him of his lack of funds for their marriage to Rani, and asked Ms. Rani for help to borrow money from the Bank.
She agreed and they got married in early 2016.
