TELL LAURA I LOVE HER
MAYBE HE'S UNDER PRESSURE
Ilyas and Novia accidentally do not break Namira's story. They've got a little info from Ms. Hajah Miradz earlier.
“We were kicked out of the house by being given a 2-day delay. But the next day my sister-in-law left Nindi and I without saying anything. If you do not remember Nindi is Almi's older son, I would rather die, because at that time I was 5 weeks pregnant due to being raped 2 times by my sister-in-law.” Namira started sobbing.
“When we were evicted, I could still contact Mr. Almi and tell her that the house had been confiscated by people due to the behavior of my sister-in-law and I also told her sister-in-law to leave Nindi to me. But I have not dared to tell my pregnancy to Brother Almi. Brother Almi sent money so that I and Nindi could contract a patch of rooms for shelter. I immediately cleaned up all the small items, the most important thing is the letters Nindi. Nindi had just moved up to 2nd grade. I paid the contract for 1 year. The following month Almi still sent money, this time a bit much, as big as she used to send for sister-in-law. It was different last month because he only sent emergency money. But the next month he didn't send any money and his number I couldn't call anymore. A friend told me that my sister was angry that I was pregnant because I had cheated on her husband. Though inspiration exists because I was raped, not because I like my sister-in-law. Since then all my living expenses have been my own. And since the rise of the 3rd grade forced Nindi not to go to school anymore because all my savings were exhausted for the cost of giving birth to inspiration. And now in order to survive I roamed around asking who needs my help,” finally Namira managed to tell everything without anything being covered.
“So, inspiration and Nindi one father?” ilyas asked foolishly.
“Muhun Sir,” Namira replied while nodding confirming Ilyas' question.
“Where are you in college and what semester?” ask Novia.
“In PGRI Buk, semester 5 when I quit a year ago.” replied Namira bowed. There was a regretful tone in his sentence. The regret of fate that made him stuck with Nindi and inspiration and left his ideals to become a teacher.
“So I asked the age of inspiration and you have not answered it,” Novia again asked.
“38 days Buk,” reply Namira slowly.
‘So heavy fate, even when the baby is not 40 days old he has to slam bones for a mouthful of rice,” ilyas more pity for the beautiful woman. But he doesn't want Namira to stay in this house. Could be a danger to her sister's household. Even though, the presence of strangers can be a household trigger. Let alone others, sister-in-law could be a destroyer. Maybe not because of infidelity, it could be because they do not like there is additional spending or disturbed privacy.
“Namira, from tomorrow you can not work again. Tomorrow you'll take care of Nindi's school transfer papers. Then you clean up all your stuff. Does the house still have rental arrears?” ask Ilyas.
“But sir, if it doesn't work, how can we eat?” confused, Namira asked. He hasn't even answered about his room rental.
“Later you work with my sister in Bandung yes,” Novia explained gently. She was very touched by the way the girl lives .. ups this young woman in front of her.
“How about room rental?” ask Ilyas again.
“I have paid until this month Sir, so there is still 8 days left,” replied Namira.
“Okay, this I give you money just for transportation take care of Nindi's school transfer letter. Starting tomorrow from 8 am to 5 pm you work here. So you don't have to let Nindi keep the inspiration. Next week I pick you back up because tonight I will go back to Bandung,” ilyas immediately decided everything and he gave some red money to Namira that the woman received with trembling hands.
“Bik, please take Namira home,” Novia asks her assistant to drive Namira and Nindi home. The gentle woman had asked the aunt to wrap rice and side dishes for Namira and Nindi's dinner.
“It's okay, it's already want maghrib. You will have trouble holding inspiration and holding Nindi. Let bibik who took her,” reply Novia friendly while gently rubbing Nindi's head. If possible, it would feel like Nindi she raised a child.

Day two since Julia wasn't on his side. Bastian still has trouble contacting the girl. Many times he could only see the social media posts of the woman he loved. He saw Julia's destination. ‘He was right, he arrived in Singapore.’ despite seeing a smile in the photo, but he knew, that smile was a hidden wound. Julia just smiled so that both her parents would see her happy during her vacation.
A lot of chat that he sent, enter just not opened by the woman who if he can still admit it, is the lover of his heart. Hopefully it can still be. Bastian is still a bit happy, because the number is not blocked by Julia. He saw all his messages still coming in and he could still see Julia's statuses.
“You to my room right now,” command Bastian on Aaron and Yuni. Bastian has to leave today. Julia usually accompanied him.
“Bapak calls us?” asked Yuni who accidentally met Aaron in front of the door of their big boss room. Of course Yuni did not know Aaron was also called because the managers had their own room while staff like him joined other staff. Only cubicles separate the tables of individuals.
“Please sit down,” Bastian is still polite to have both employees sit in the front seat of his work desk. “You learned this within 1 hour. After that we left a meeting with PT Cahaya Gemintang.” Bastian's order to Aaron while handing over a bundle of files that are quite thick and must be difficult to learn in just 1 hour.
“And you, prepare the equipment, you will join the meeting to record everything discussed in the meeting,” this time Bastian ruled Yuni.
“Please leave my room. In 60 minutes we meet in the lobby. And no one is late. Remember, another 60 minutes in the lobby, not 60 minutes you just left your room!” asserted Bastian again as they were about to close the door of his room.
‘Maybe this is what makes Julia not at home. She under pressure,’ Inner Yuni.
“Gilaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, this thick file should be studied within 40 minutes before we meet in the lobby,” Harun lamented.
“You can definitely Sir,” Yuni encourages the marketing manager who is directly the leader. Then they quietly re-entered the elevator to get to their respective rooms.
