The Wait All This Time
Chapter 1

"Mas, I don't want you out of here. I can ignore what they say, as long as we stick together and try." Lita leaned her head against the shoulder of a man named Andi.

"You may be able to ignore it, but I can't if your parents tell me that. I will prove that I deserve to be with you someday. Lita, wait for you to come home and reapply, just as your parents requested." Andi walked away from Lita who was still sitting in the middle hut of rice fields owned by his father Lita.

"Mas Andi..?!" Lita looked at her lover.

Her night...

Lita still keeps thinking about her lover who went wandering to collect money, Lita's heart does not allow but what is the only way that Andi can earn and marry Lita immediately. Yet Lita and Andi are unaware of the temptations and trials so much in the big city. Andi's decision and determination are already unanimous, Lita can only hope that Andi's lover soon returns to her side again and immediately steps into the fold.

In Jakarta, Andi arrived there in the morning, he departed from his village in Sumatra. His heart was grateful to have set foot in the capital, but he was still confused about where to work at that time. And most confused to sleep where it will be tonight, that morning Andi also looking for cheap lodging while looking at job vacancies.

Andi did not stop asking the people he passed, he asked about the existence of job vacancies. But everyone he asked no one responded to him, until then Andi saw an old man running and bumping into everyone he passed by.

"Copet please...! Please take my wallet with me! Mas please copet mas, help my wallet he took!" a white woman shouted from a distance.

Andi who felt her soul was called to help and became a hero that day, when the pickpocket ran towards her, quickly Andi grabbed the pickpocket man's foot.

"Brukkk!"

The middle-aged man fell down in front of Andi, quickly grabbing the wallet in the hands of the copet.

"Well!

"Well!

"Well!

The woman stopped in front of Andi, her breathing gasping for breath and trying to stabilize her tired heartbeat chasing pickpocketing.

"Copet woi, your copet well?! You insolent! bugh, bagh, bugh!"

The entire populace beat up the pickpocket, but Andi felt sorry to see the middle-aged man being hit by the crowd. Andi also told the residents to bring the copet to the police station. In order to get justice and punishment there, Andi and the woman who was the victim also went there to be a witness and also the complainant as the victim.

Rania, the woman who was going to shop at the market that morning and even pickled when she wanted to get into her car to go home. Andi escorted Rania to walk to her car so that no more events could pick up her wallet.

"I'm looking for a private driver, but I haven't found one yet. Actually I really need a driver at this time, because I really bother if I have to take care of the children going to school and dropping them off. While I also have to shop, cook and others." said Rania gently.

"Loh, where's the husband? Can take his son and help mbak all of you." they talk while still stepping.

"My husband is gone, now I am a single parent. Mom, thank you for helping me. If there is no mas, I do not know how." said Rania while opening the car door.

"Sir, I'm sorry I applied to be your personal driver. I was looking for a job, and just came from the village. If Mbak pleases I want to be a private driver who takes children and anywhere every day." Andi emboldened herself to be Rania's driver that day.

"Oh yeah, you need a job? then it's a coincidence that Mas wants to be my personal driver. Let Mas come to my house, and Mas can work from tomorrow." Rania explained that Andi had accepted.

"Because for today I don't go to the office and the kids are also on holiday being at Omanya's house." Andi also got into the car to replace Rania who was going to drive the car.

Now the car was Andi himself driving and Rania telling the way to his house. Rania is very happy this time there will be her personal driver who will accompany and help her later. And he will be very helpful and can love himself more, have time for himself.

Not long before they reached the front of the house, Andi was very surprised to see the big house owned by Rania.

"This is your mother's house? Ma'am the owner or..., sorry mbak?!" said the curious Andi.

"It's okay, it just happens to be my own house, and the gift of my late husband." Rania stepped her foot to open the door of her house.

"I think I'm not like other ordinary people, and shopping at the market alone is like that. Makes me wonder, usually people like this mbak like to go to the supermarket. Don't want to go to a super muddy and dirty market." Andi looked around Rania's house after entering it.

"I'm used to shopping at the market, because everything is fresh. Coincidentally my art again to Oma's house because there's a funeral today, so help out there." Rania opened the trunk of her car and picked up her groceries.

Andi helps Rania and tries to get attention, Rania also shows Andi a room for her that is separated from Rania's house. The empty room was next to the mansion, but it was still inside the area of the woman's house. The room used to be the room of his old private driver, who had been empty for a long time. All the goods Andi put into the room, Rania also told Andi to rest because it must be tired just to get to Jakarta.

After that, Rania took a shower to clean herself when all her groceries were neatened into the refrigerator. The woman was ready to go to Oma's house, her mother's house. The security guard in front of the gate opened the gate when Rania left in her car.

Andi also rested and fell asleep in his room, when it was only realized that he had not eaten. The security guard also knocked Andi's room and gave him a packet of rice dipped Rania from his mother's house that was arisan. Andi and the security guard became familiar with each other, Andi asked the security guard a lot about Rania.

The security guard said that his employer was very kind, and also dear to the family. The security guard did not dare to say anything else because he felt he did not want to talk to Andi who he had just known. But Andi already felt something suspicious from the security guard, his attitude was so friendly to Rania. He is old and should have retired from his job.

SERIATE......
