Suddenly a Husband
Genta Information
I just finished my morning shower when the HP rang. From Genta. He told me that he had all the information about Nilam, because there was a lot to be explained and I asked to be escorted to his place of residence so Genta asked to meet. This morning all the agenda in the office is pushed back at least until tomorrow. I want this done today too. Obviously everything without any more slander that would ruin my good name.
"There work? Seems important?" Yohana just walked into the room, she helped me tidy up my shirt and put on a tie.
"This morning Genta and I are going to Nilam's house to finish everything." I said.
"Huh? Oh. Be careful, baby, somehow I don't feel calm. If there is anything do not forget to call and please do not get carried away with emotions. Me and Caca love you so much." Yohana. His face looked worried. The problems that befell our family for some time to come made him look tired. I promised myself that after this I would pay more attention to her and Caca. Will not be rash in acting even if you have to face people who are concerned.
"I left first yes, Genta is waiting." I said, kissed her forehead and left. This morning I deliberately went without a driver, approached Genta to his house, then headed to one of the coffee spots in a mall for discussion. "Tell me what you found." I said, after two cups of coffee and bread our order came.
"He lives in a slum on the edge of town. Both with his sister who previously became the backbone and financed his life. His brother worked odd jobs, washermen, maids in some houses and sometimes scavenging." Genta shows a picture of a woman who from the look of her face looks older than Nilam, either because of the rigors of life or indeed she is her oldest brother considering it is who financed Nilam so far.
"Okay, we're going there now!" I said that I stood up but was arrested by Genta, who said he had not had breakfast.
"At least let me have breakfast, Ben. My stomach is hungry, for you I don't eat breakfast." Genta said that it made us both laugh.

My car can't get into the settlement, so it's parked in front of one of the taverns. Both with Genta we walk to his place. There are many houses from plywood even cardboard with makeshift roofs. I can't imagine how they could live in a place like this. In the pengab house and also around the dirty. But that's how hard life is in a big city, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer. Must be strong in order to survive in the city.
Looking at this kind of environment, I can understand why Nilam could be like that. Just natural. The environment here is not good, it grows in a place like this. That must have shaped it. It's just that, what I love, from the story of Genta, his brother who had worked hard to finance his life so that he could go to school but when he had reached this point was wasted by making trouble. It's very unfortunate. He should really undergo his internship so that one time when he graduated from college he could enter into an employee in the office, or anywhere he wanted.
"This is his house." Genta said, after being sure of the results of seeing the picture sent by his man.
"You sure?" I approached, knocking on the door made of plywood. Tapped a few times but no answer.
The second question kept me quiet. Upik, Puti? That name left me speechless. I didn't hear wrong, did I? Are they the same people as Upik and Puti that we've been looking for the past few years?
"See, I mean mother, Nilam it ...." I'm trying to guess.
"O find Puti. I haven't been home in a long time, sir. Last one a month ago. Going home for a while then I accidentally heard them checking their mouth Chocolates. Then the princess left. Never to be seen again." Said the mother who happened to be Nilam's neighbor.
"Puti Nilam's. That means how's Mom?" I still can't understand what they mean. Why is it called Puti when its name is Nilam Sari.
"Yes sir, his name was first here Puti, but the registration to the RT pack was changed to Nilam Sari because he said his full name was Puti Nilam Sari. If her brother stays up." The mother's story.
"Mom, do you know when they first moved here?" I felt bad, my feelings started to run if they were the kids we were looking for.
"It's been a long time sir, if not thirteen or fourteen years ago. In the past they were found Ijah's grandmother who lived in this hut. Nek Ijah was scavenger near the hospital there. He said that Upik was treated there, because he did not have a family finally the treatment was not continued. Nek Ijah pity, so brought and nurtured here until the nek Ijah died. After that, the Upik who worked as a family backpack financed his sister until this college. But they often fight, the Puti is stubborn and wants a lot. Poor as well as the Upik. But yes his name is brother sister ...." Not finished the mother spoke, I was sitting down, I felt my body weak to hear the story.
Upik and Puti, it turns out that Yohana's guess is right, the two children are actually going to the capital. Somehow the story goes, but now they are here. Puti changed her name to Nilam, then entered our lives which I believe must not be a coincidence. It must have been planned, though I don't know why. What is clear is that one side I feel relieved because I finally found the two children. The child who always makes Yohana can not live quietly because it has not found them.
"Where is Upik?" I asked impatiently. Is the child okay to remember the photo that was shown by Genta looks right Upik is not managed.
"There is, usually this hour is working at the house of the rich people who are in the intersection. At most will be here soon." Said the mother. "Whose fathers are you?" Ask
"I'm a foster parent, I've been looking for both children for a long time but they went missing when they were about seven and six years old in Sumatra, I didn't expect to finally find them at this time." I said.
I really wanted to tell Yohana all this, but I wanted to meet Upik first. I don't know how the child is now. And Nilam too. My anger at him has gone away from this reality.
