The Love that is Abolished
27. Monetary Crisis

At that time, the financial crisis of the country was falling again. The ouster of the leader made the country's economy chaotic. There are student demos everywhere. And it ends with the loot, the burning of Mall-Mall. Many foreign investors have canceled contracts. Many foreign workers returned to their countries. Perhaps fearful and uncomfortable, feeling his safety threatened.

So did the owner and leader of the Garment where I worked. He chose to return to his country, out of fear. And this impacts with the employees of PT Angkasa Jaya. Well, we are closed either until when without allowance money, the goods that will be in abandoned export are not taken care of.

Me and the other employees could only sit and mourn the fate. Finally, the little people are the victims of cruel politics.

News on TV there were fires everywhere, as well as student demonstrations that even claimed lives. Making the atmosphere increasingly gripping and resulting in fear of the citizens. We can't go anywhere. Can't do anything.

The monetary crisis then resulted in the factory closing, which automatically no income for us. Zonk income, while the cost of living must continue. Feels tight on the chest. "Here I still don't have children, what about those who already have children? What does not add dizziness. "in my heart.

My breath, I am grateful for this life. At least there's still some healthy favors for me. Many people complain about how it will be.

I turned on the TV at home and the news was still there. I'll just turn off the TV if the news scares me.

I heard my HP ringing, my mother saw the phone. I picked it up and answered.

"Assallamualaykum, ma'am" I said hello to my mother.

"Waallaykum salam, piye nduk, do sane kabeh to? Is kono safe? [Waallaykumsalam, how's son, everything is healthy right? it's safe there?]." asked my mother worried.

"Alhamduli ma'am, all healthy, inshaalloh here safe. How are you and your mom there??" I asked my mother.

"Alhamdulillah, here is also healthy all nduk. Piye kerjone, prei opo ora? [how does it work, what holidays come in?]" replied mother.

"For a while the factory was closed, ma'am, so the employees were all shut down, I don't know until when." I explained to my mother.

"O. yo wes, ngko yen ono opo-opo ndang ngabari yo nduk. Let your mom and dad not worry. [O.. yes already , later if there is anything, mopping up the news yes son.]." pinta my mother.

"Pack ma'am. [Yeah ma'am]." I replied.

The sound of the door rang out.

"Who?" my question, while I rush to wear clothes and original veil.

"Me, which. Mas Anto." he replied.

I opened the door and saw my husband's tired face. Immediately make coffee for Anto mas. While enjoying my coffee Mas Anto said, "It's good that I can go home, Dek. There are raids everywhere. Many streets are closed. PT I am closed 3 days. Hopefully the situation is conducive quickly Dek. "

"Yes" I answered. "My place is also closed not knowing until when. Mr. Boznya returned to his country. Maybe come back here if it's conducive." I said to Mas Anto.

"Seek dong, we can be delicious. Make Anto junior yes Dek. " said Mas Anto.

"Hmmmm." I reply.

I'm still hurting you, actually. But I don't want to be cursed by an angel. I don't want to take on many sins. This may be a test of my patience.

"With coffee, keep bathing. Do you want to eat first? If you want to eat first, let me cool the rice." I said bargain Anto mas.

"I took a shower, Dek, keep eating. What are you cooking, Dek?" ask Anto.

"Sand potatoes and tofu, Mas." I replied.

"It looks good, Dek. While I'm taking a shower you cool the rice first huh, Dek!" the Titah mas Anto.

"Sheap boz sir." I replied.

We had dinner together. And hope tomorrow is better than today. We hope things improve quickly, for our survival.
