They walked out of the airport area and found a cafe to stay for a while before going to Fin house . Fin called the girls not to pick her up at the airport.. they knew that Tim already there to do it .He would fullfil his promise last time they met to take her home by his motorbike.Fin must get a helmet first .. Fortunately there was a street seller for helmets . Tim face was like a kid in a candy store when he knew that Fin had broken up her marriage since 5 months back .Tim told her how he tried 3 times to find her but all in vain and at last he got an important information from Praga .Tim also told him that she tried to call him but the the receptionist at the course told her that he was busy .Writing him a two full page letter also she did to contact him but all failed. ,Are you depressed ?' ,,For the first 2 months yes ...but then l know that's the best way out for me ,Tim . ,,Did you find someone suitable? ,,,No ...." ,,Me too..,,,,She looked at him affectionately..an
Finara put the bills into her small handbag. Five hundred dollar for the English course fee per 3 months ...phew ! It's at jalan Martha Dinata street, an elite area in Bandung..all native speaker teachers it's ..her dreams since she was a teenager. Learning English with natives surely more expensive but reasonable,yeah , with the original pronunciation and ...more important for Fin was...she loves their styles ..the westerners..their enthusiastic way and lively means when they move and talk ..well it's a plus value and maybe even the most pleasant matter for her . 500 $ for attending a course would be impossible for her to afford before she married to the old businessman named Abdul Malik. Well alright,many things she get now after she married him . They say money can not buy everything,agreed, but who can deny the fact that money can get pleasure and satisfaction...? Sometimes when you feel lonely you can go shopping even not in need to buy anything..just to see sweet smiles from
The preacher define hell and heaven everywhere .Finara see how enthusiastic they are to define how goodness and badness will end there in hereafter...well yes ,it's agreeable...if there is no rewards and punishment how can ones do things without those guidelines...but how to live in this crazy world when things so hard ? How to make it easy n smooth to live and prepare for heaven ...that's the question. She asks that to Vid on their way home from shopping. Vid is her schoolmate secondary school who still on contact as she lives around the town .Fin don't know how to call herVid whether best or just good friend.Sometimes they quarrel on a disagreement of triviality or having be discussion on matters with differ points of views. Anyway they meet at any time they have .Well here they are reaching their fave cafe . Vid looks for the nicest corner where a waiter look at them and give a polite gesture while cleaning the table . "There ? " Fin looks at the site then nods . She
We better to talk more of better world for better hereafter...Well time has come to separate at the bus halt ...Vid move her point finger fast as a taxi come close in front of them "Bye " she said with thin smile ,giving a wave of phone call later on just before closing the car door .Fin smiles and wave back and stand for a moment to get on the bus she needs.Crowded as always .One get off after another .. pickpocket ....be careful are around public transportation.Work not easy mix with impatient of getting good way out ...social problems always part of daily life .But look ...a street singer who come around the bus ,asking money with lousy words saying threatening tone telling these passengers that he just got out from jail ..then coming around asking money with a razor blade ..it's such crime..look at the reddish eyes ,rude words and menacing gesture ...Fin would pray silently for not showing any fear at coming across such one...being calm and firm is better mean to face that typ
Fin look up again at what date it is .Her husband is going to accompany her to the course .He drive so smoothly whether at middle or high speed and he is type of car owner who likes to drive his car himself as maybe can not confide any chaffeur can do better in driving ...it's about safety and comfort...well ,the day has come for them to go.Sitting beside him make her always feel good in some way ,sure , it's about social class... everyone wants to get higher and higher in every way,if possible. The English course building is there..white ,nice ,with the European architecture..so wide yards for parking ..trees at sides and green grass all around. Abdul Malik look around with smile "Mmmm.. nice site" he said. Fin step ahead happily .lt was her past dream to have the best foreign language courses and now the dream come true ..native speakers.. Their look , style..works like she often watch on movies... The administration staffs really treat them nicely , professionally. They expl
In the circle and mechanism of time ,life is such short or long fragments.Sweet and bitter memories come along with future and present days ,mingle in fear and hopes . Screams ...how.could a shy quiet teenage of fifteen able that time to shout out loud till the limit voice can reach ...? She was a forgotten child of her mother and her mom fave girl always her sister Vinny . Vinny was always luck in every means.Always the best at her class almost each year from primary to secondary and high school,active at several organization and popular .She was smart intelligent funny maybe everyone like her including boys ..she was pretty and slim .full stop. What to do .Life should go on .There would be things to do to fight to get to conquer if possible. Fin was a bookworm.A daydreamer. Books teach ones to fight isn't it .Fin was about fifteen when that horrible experience occured .She was about to be accompanied by her dad as always to come back to her religion school but her dad had som
Barry smiles and said hello to everyone.Fin smiles back .She took a chair , a bit shy in realizing how tall Barry was.The English book contains was interesting with oily thick colorful papers ..the topics also admirable .. grammar.. vocabularies.. structure etcetera..there ,the lesson was about detective stories..a crime and after reading comprehension then talked about it in small groups...Barry asked what you would do first if the burglary happen to you .Fin answered ,"l would save myself first" Barry seemed attracted by Fin perfect English accent...many said so ... Barry even humorously asked why she learn English as her ability is already good .Fin said at her own heart ,she loves meeting westrener and that's the reason why ..any opportunity to meet and talk to them.. Barry often showed his being proud of her .Her serious means at study . He appreciated her skill in writing.

Yordan will be his next destination before America .It was long before America banned tourist with middle east names .After going Hajj and did some more businesses there were a few states he would visit .Trade and business ways seem to most people as road to richness..and it really is .They who really dream and fight maybe achieve a top line in their class with struggle and so so .AbdulMalik began his small trade by bringing and taking goods each year he pilgrims .He took goods from mid east then sold them with higher profit in lndonesia and vice versa ,taking goods from lndonesia to mid east which having much higher price ..at first stage he could cover all the ticket fee to go and fro abroad then when the trade ran well he got higher and higher benefits so from time to time he saved money till he was able to build a factory.He was proud each time telling Fin how he reached that level become a factory owner ."
