“ Hello Mr. Saragih, sorry just now I again naek ojek. What news from the results of the trial?”, I asked while in a hurry to enter Mr. Hardian's office.

“ Just a proofing agenda, Mas Fadli has given testimony”, he replied.

“ Smoothly dong his trial agenda”, I replied while panting while climbing the stairs to go to the 3rd floor.

“ Mr. Ray, why from the beginning did not tell me the same about the real problem. My credibility as an advocate is tarnished because of the testimony of Mas Fadli just now”, he said in a disappointed tone.

“ Loh really, smeared what? I have followed Bapak”'s advice.

“ First, you said that you have separated your house for a long time and both parties have agreed to divorce. Second, you deny in replicas there are other women. The third, I was told Mas Fadli outside the courtroom that Mr. Siri” had married.

“ Already Sir, whatever is important my divorce process is complete. I have dropped talak means religiously it is legal not husband and wife dong. It's natural that I marry again”.

“ You are legally divorced religiously, but you live in a country that has a legal foundation. In the Marriage Law does not recognize the existence of marriage siri, goods who are men who are bound by marriage and commit adultery (overspel), it will be subject to adultery. The threat of maximum prison confinement 9 months Dude!”

“ Already Sir, it is common to marry siri. Not because of disobeying the law, rather than adultery it is better to be passed religiously first Pak”, I replied furious.

“ Dude, you're talking to an advocate. My credibility is tarnished if I defend a client who is clearly against the law. If I knew from the beginning, I would advise you to be a little more patient until the trial process is complete. Ah this has mated again, make runyam course”, nagging with batak's distinctive accent.

“ Yes sir, the next agenda is only a verdict, so ketok hammer I immediately pay off the advocacy services Mr. Now I want to meet, tomorrow I call”, close me while hurriedly turning off the phone.

I guess my sweat dripped from running up the stairs while hearing Mr. Saragih's scolding just now. I no longer ignored all the words people said about my status, at this time my world was turned upside down. The fate of the company I built was on the edge, the project was reduced because my relationship was not good with Dion, and what hurt my heart the most was my longing for Kila and Kica who had not been treated. Rania has launched her attack by inciting people to hate me.

“ Mr. Ray, has been awaited in the meeting room tuh”, said Nanda behind his desk.

“ Okay, I enter first”, I replied.

“ Mbak Renata not coming? Tumben not with “, chirped Nanda with his nyinyir style. I'm sure the culprit of the gossip in this group must have come from his mouth. I didn't mind Nanda's question just now, I immediately went into the meeting room where the directors were waiting for me.

“ Ray, timana wae atuh? Geus is late deui wae”, said Mr. Hardian while looking at me with an annoyed face.

“ Sorry sir I was riding Ojol, hard dapet driver”, I replied while sitting in one of the empty seats.

“ How about RENTZ, already got investors yet? There has been no news from kamu” for a week, asked Mr. Hardian

“ I've reduced the budget Sir, employees I've home everything. At the end of this month I can only pay half. I have also met with several Investors, but still need time to give an answer he said”, I replied.

“ Deadline today is Mr. Ray, we can not afford to spend funds for you. RENTZ office will be closed soon, there are tenants who want to rent to be coffeshop”, said the Commissioner Mother.

“ Can be until the end of the month Mom, I beg you. Until there are investors who tell me the same news “, I asked as I pleaded.

“ Sorry Mr. Ray, this is the deal from the last meeting. Mr. Ray only has one week to look for new Investors. Otherwise with forced RENTZ we will close”, he replied.

“ Mr. Hardian, I beg that the staff salary be lowered completely. My men have been working hard all this time, I beg you sir to keep them paid. If you are pleased, please just pull to another division”.

“ I've thought of it, there may be some RENTZ staff that Daniel will be drawn to. We've already got a few more here, including Renata and yourself. Sorry Ray, I can not help you”, he said.

The atmosphere of the meeting room immediately felt silent, my head bowed lethargic to hear the fate of the company I built in earnest must be finished up here. Some pairs of eyes are now shining sharply at me, it was clear the sight of cynicism and dislike was so piercing that the recesses of my soul. I should have done it all, let go of all burdens so that no more people would scorn me.

“ Good Sir, Mom. Thank you for your cooperation over the past year. Sorry for any shortcomings from me personally or a team that is less pleasing. I beg you to leave, the office will be finished within 3 days, hopefully this group will be more successful. Thank you”, I said stammering while holding a puddle of tears that almost dripped.

“ Equally Mr. Ray, we also apologize. Maybe your business can grow with the right partner, I'm sure there are still opportunities out there”, said the Commissioner Mother while secretly wiping her tears.

I stood up and greeted them one by one. I shook their hands warmly, even though this heart had been crushed by being trampled.

“ Mr. Ray, sorry if any of my words are less pleasing. I'm sure you must be a success out there”, shake Mr. Daniel while patting me on the shoulder.

“ Together Mr. Daniel, I also apologize for troubling”, I replied while trying to smile.

I experienced them all one by one until my steps stopped in front of Mr. Hardian. From the look of his eyes emanated a sense of disappointment as well as deep sadness.

“ Ray, you're a smart guy. Your ambition is strong and full of potential. There aren't many people like you Ray. Honestly I am sad to have to close RENTZ, but I have no choice. My message is just one, please live life as best as possible Ray”, he said while patting my shoulder. I know he is very lost, as well as I who have considered him like a father figure who often gives advice to me.

My feet immediately walked towards the door while carrying a million delusions, leaving the office filled with intrigue and rumors about the lopsided news about me. I put my feet on the ground, enjoying every last step with the glare of my eyes that seemed to enjoy my suffering.

“ Ssssstttt, look at his face really tangled”.

“ Don't-don't have already fired Mr. Bos”.

“ Kasian yes now, rich not taken care”.

I threw a glance at the group of staff gathered at one of the tables, the usual whispers I heard only returned with a smile. Their heads immediately bowed, then dispersed to each other's tables as if holding in shame.

KRUKKK

My stomach was rumbling to be filled, from the morning I did not have breakfast. Lately I have rarely had breakfast since my finances deteriorated. I opened the wallet in the pocket of the pants, it was a piece of twenty thousand. If I use this money for lunch, I can't buy food tonight. It's just for myself, I didn't know if Renata could eat or not.

PINGING

Nathalie Lim (Hire apartment)

“ Afternoon Mr. Ray, I want to inform you that the apartment rental payment is due. From yesterday I contacted Mrs Renata but there was no answer. Please make a payment immediately, or tomorrow I want to advertise for rent to others. Thank you”.

My knee went limp as soon as I read the message from the owner of the apartment we were living in. Since we got married, the rent has been my responsibility. How can I continue the rent in this condition, to buy lunch I can't afford. While turning my brain I continued to walk up to the intersection of the red light, several times the sound of the angkot horn offered a ride. I was confused about missing directions, not knowing where else my feet should go.

Finally my feet stopped at the crossroads of the red light, standing between the buskers who were getting ready to sing as the red light flashed. A Junior High kid holds a guitar and a kid of Kila's age holds a used candy bag for money. When all the cars stopped, they immediately ran busking in an angkot before them.

Remembering my childhood, you hugged and you spoiled

It was beautiful then for me to soar

By your side warmly warm breath fresh fragrant body

You give me all your dreams and hopes

**

You want me to be the best for you

Obey your orders, keep away from temptation

What I might have done in my adult life

Don't make me shackle, fall and be trampled

**

God please tell a million of my love for her

I promised 'not betraying his door

I heard how much I really love you

'I'll prove I can fulfill everything you want

**

The Best For You – No Band

My heart was sliced to hear the song they were singing, a song with lyrics so deep. I immediately remembered Papa's figure, how much I missed him at this time. I'm sorry Pa, I've failed, my career and my life are falling apart. My heart crumbles even more if I remember my three daughters, dashed already the intention to meet them out of embarrassment.

The two buskers ran back to the side of the road when the green light came on, the package they were holding was still empty. Somehow I spontaneously took out a twenty-thousand in my purse, I put it in their candy bag. The face of the maid who was my son's age instantly received my money with a sumringah.

“ Thanks Pak”, he said with a big smile.

I throw a smile while stroking her crumpled red hair. There is no more money in my wallet. Nothing for lunch or dinner. But my heart is relieved, at least I can still give when difficulties are struck.
