Hearing Karla's answer that was not the least touched by the praise, I just fell silent without saying anything else.

"Why silence?" raise it while raising the next eyebrow.

"No, it's okay!"

"Yes let's eat, soon the Maghrib reverberate." take Karla while showing the clock in her hand.

"Wrap it! later eat it with the kids." replied me who immediately lost appetite, after meeting my ex-wife.

"Which kids?"

"Scholars, ever since I knew them, I have never given anything different to you, almost every month you set aside some of your salary to give snacks to the children.

"Seriously?" karla asked as if she could not believe it.

"Seriously! sometimes I feel sorry for you, because even though you are always lacking, you always share."

"Absolutely amazed?" his gaze filled the entire area of my face.

"Yes!" I answered a little bit with my head.

"Sorry Mommy! I'm not flattered by what you say, remember! I will not be interested in a man who has no stand. Especially if you look just now, you are just a bod0h man who is unable to yell at your ex-wife, even though you have been humbled as low as possible. are you still a darling?"

"In awe, should there be awe?" I hid my shame, after hearing what Karla had said.

"Not really! just me giving a warning early on, so you don't have to be tired of continuing to praise me."

"PD very! beautiful no." answered me who does not want to lose.

"Beautiful is! the proof is that your mother likes the cave." Her beautiful lips were filled with triumphant smiles.

"Udah! let's order some food. Later in the afternoon," invite me not to extend the debate, because no matter how hard I try, I will still lose arguing with him.

Finally we both approached the waiter, to deliver the order. After finishing ordering food to take home, Karla and I chose to sit in the chairs that had been provided.

"Oh yeah, did you follow the tender?" asked Karla to break the silence between the two of us. if it feels far away to talk a lot, but when close together like this the chatter disappears suddenly. There is only debate and debate between us.

"What do you mean?" ask me who does not understand, because from earlier I continue to think to look for the topic of discussion.

"So your ex-wife threatened, you don't have to tender, what tender?"

"Oh, tender issue!"

"Yes, why did your wife threaten you like that?"

"So morning Dali said that there is a company that organizes a tender for making 50-story apartments.The nominal is very large, and one of the invited participants is the Mandiri Group company, my company may be. the company Erni group also joined, to win the tender."

"Great dong! why aren't big companies invited, why would a company in the middle of nowhere like yours have to come?" Praise Karla ends with a little bit of fading.

"I used to work with the organizers, maybe my performance was very satisfactory, so they want to re-collaborate.

"Oh so, by the way why is the company named Mandiri Group? even though you do not have Mandiri mandirinya, you still need others, even to eat aja, you ask to be cemented." Karla asked to switch the conversation.

There was one story that made me take the name Mandiri group.there used to be a man who wanted to end his life, by drifting into the cimandiri river. but the bod0h man was saved by the angel who came down from heaven, Not even just saved the foolish man was cared for, given the spirit of being given infinite knowledge. so that the man slowly began to rise and began to rearrange the pieces of life that had been destroyed."

"What story is that? what fiction is real?" He asked with a flat face, Not the slightest change in the look of Karla's face, even though I was praising her.

"Real!" I replied scratching my Eyebrows, talking to him makes my otaku have to work hard.

"If it's real, why does the angel that's already in heaven have to go down everything?" karla's search is testing my patience. His face that was propped up by his thumb, staring at me mimicked a serious person again asking.

"You ah!" I replied while pinching her slightly stye cheeks, but it would look sweet when she smiled.

"Ouch! what the hell!" Karla said as she brushed my hand to let go of the pinch.

"No connecting how, you who do not connect, there is an Angel coming down from heaven, why they bother to go down, while in heaven everything is available. It's not that the story is very inconsequential and flawed logic."

"You ah, you're talking to this!" I said while sliding the tissue box in the middle of the table.

"Emang in heaven there is no bidadara, so the Angel must save the bod0h man who ended his life. What does the name of the company have to do with people who want to kill themselves." asked Karla while staring at the tissue box I just slide, making me unable to resist shaking my head.

"Order on behalf of Mr. ArFan!" call a waiter from the waiter's desk.

hearing my name being called, I who had from earlier noticed Karla's plain face, immediately got up from the seat.then approached the person who had just called. "i'm Ma'am!"  I answered after being in front of him.

"Kranz Chicken! with the number of 60 boxes has been completed. want to be delivered, what directly want to be brought alone?"

"Please get it to my car! how much is total?"

"Good! the total is Rp1,800,000."

I took out a credit card, to pay for all my orders. After I finished making the payment, the water also helped bring all the orders to the parking lot.

"Let's go home!" I'm the same Karla who's still sitting.

"The light is done?"

"Already, come! Magrib's hunt later."

Finally we both went hand in hand, as usual we chat even though not connected, but somehow I really enjoy my togetherness with him.

After putting all my orders in the trunk of the car, Karla and I left the Mall to go home. Untold about the length of the trip, finally my car was parked near the Gang that led to Karla's house.

Seen Saiful was approaching, because before leaving to go here, I had asked him to help bring the rice box I bought.

*****

After finishing performing the Isya prayer, the children of the study were boisterous, because they felt very happy, after getting the Nasi box shared by Karla.

"Where are you going, how come you don't look?" ask Karla who is memorized with all the children who learned to pay her a salary.

"She hurt Mom! So don't go with the salary." replied one of the children who knew the condition of his peer.

"Yes, this nitip mom is the same Adnan." Pinta Karla while giving rice bok, to be delivered to a child named Adnan.

After finishing distributing all the rice, I was finally waiting with Saiful to be invited by Mr. Umar to enter his house.

As usual before continuing my study of religion, the four of us had dinner together first.

*****

The next morning, I and all my staff began to work for the tender held by Pak Bagas' company. Hearing Erni's remarks yesterday that underestimated me, making my motivation now doubled.

In the following days, I was busy with the focus of handling tenders that were being worked on by the company. Until when the deadline is soon, all the ideas we pour in the form of files, the file, it can be submitted to the Bagaskara company as a tender organizer.

"Hopefully, sir! Our efforts are not in vain" Dali said, starting the conversation, a day after the submission of the file.

"Amen! hopefully so." I hid the concern, Because the company that followed the tender is not only my company, there is a mother company and Erni group company, which took part in enlivening the struggle for the job.

"But great sir?" dali said that breaks the daydreams.

"Great what?"

"I think the Erni group Company will fall, after the company's leader is replaced, but the company still stands, because maybe the foundation built was very solid." Dali replied expressing admiration, which I cannot deny because it is true as it is.

"Indeed, as you know, Erni was a determined person at work, so I wasn't surprised when her company was still able to survive. Oh right now how's your wife." I asked to shift the conversation so as not to discuss the traitor.

"Alhamdulillah! it's starting to improve sir, although he still can't accept about the departure of our son. But now it has shown significant development, now my wife has started to want to talk, although not as familiar as before the Nahas incident happened to our family." Dali explains the condition of his wife, who lost her first child shortly after birth.

"May heals quickly, as always!" my prayer.
