Because of Lent

Chapter 40. Secret

*****

Fahri and Galang are in serious talks. The two exchanged views and opinions. Galang seems to be very connected with Vina's first brother. When Vina came out with a roasted brownie. Galang had not shifted his gaze from Vina since then and it made both of Vina's sisters astonished. The two of them had forgotten their intention to return home early.

"Let's try, this is all Vina's handmade," said Mbak Hani, Fauzi's wife. Enzo turned to the table, looking at the shiny white pudding with fresh fruit.

"Mama, Enzo wants to." Vina turned her head, as well as her two older brothers. Both felt strange, while Vina casually served what her foster child asked for. Yes, Vina considers Enzo an adopted son.

"From a long time ago, when little Kendra also called Vina with the call of Vina's mother, but over time the papa protested fearing that he would be mistaken for a second wife" said Rita, Vina's sister-in-law while laughing. Everyone laughed except for the children who did not understand what the parents were talking about.

"Pardon my son, Mr. Fahri," said Galang sincerely. He felt bad for Vina's sister because of Enzo's reckless behavior. But Fahri laughed.

"Don't think too much. As long as your son is comfortable and as long as no one cheats on my sister, go ahead." Fahri glanced at Vina who was now feeding the pudding to Enzo.

There was a sense of pity in Vina's first brother's heart. He had heard of all the problems his sister was facing. If it is true that his sister is barren as alleged by the Pras family. So finding a partner who has had children is the best choice. Although it is not certain who the person is, but if it is Galang Satya Pratama, Fahri does not mind. Obviously they are descendants who have seeds, bebet and weights that are balanced with the Adiatirta family and what is more, the Satya Pratama family has no bad record in treating a woman.

Galang phone beeped. He then picked up a call from his assistant, Fedrick.

"What's up?"

"Well, in half an hour I will be there, ask Mr. Umar to be patient first."

Turn off his phone. He looked at Enzo who was still leaning spoiled on Vina's arm. Fahri saw the Galang gelagat. He knew the man had an important appointment.

"Go, let your son be here" Fahri said.

"But ...."

"It's okay to have us here anyway, so your son must be safe." Galang seemed to think for a moment and then nodded. He patted Vina's shoulder slowly until the woman turned her head.

"What's up?"

"I have to get back to the office. Can I put Enzo here?" galang's tone now began to sound smoother and no longer flat. Vina nodded and Galang smiled faintly.

"Thank you, as soon as my business is done I'll pick up Enzo."

"No need to rush. Justjust go. Finish your job first."

Eventually Enzo left there. Fahri as the host, drove Galang to the door. During that time, Fahri said he wanted to borrow Galang's son as a remedy for his sister's grief and Galang suddenly felt sorry for Vina.

Galang finally left the Adiatirta residence. However, he was a little bothered by the words of big brother Vina earlier.

"If you may let your son be here often. Besides here he has many friends, at least your son can help to divert Vina's grief."

The company is growing rapidly and getting bigger thanks to Galang's efforts and persistence. The man day and night put all his efforts into expanding and raising the company and now Galang can relax a little more with a very satisfying achievement.

"Sorry you have to wait, sir," said Galang while greeting his guests. Mr. Umar this time came with a beautiful girl. Fedrick, Galang's assistant still faithfully stood by his master since Galang's arrival to the company.

"Oh it's okay, Mr. Galang, I asked for this sudden meeting. I want to introduce Lena, she's my daughter who will continue my business in the future. So I hope you don't mind this."

"Oh of course, no problem, sir," replied Galang. However, he did not want to extend his hand to shake hands with Lena. He was stared so deeply at by the girl.

Lena stretched out her hand in front of Galang. Inevitably, he finally returned the handshake of the girl.

"Hi, I'm Lena, I'm 26. I'm still single."

"Galange" replied Galang briefly.

"I hear your son is on his birthday soon?" ask the stale master Umar. "Lena, my daughter likes kids too. Moreover, this son of Mr. Galang is smart and very handsome."

"Oh yeah, he was at the cake shop with my fiancee. Lately my son is too attached to his future mother," said Galang lying, he knows the purpose of Mr. Umar here to bring his daughter. Because not only once twice his business partners do that, Galang has been too often berodori his partner's daughter. However, for Galang who has been lazy to serve women finally can only lie by saying they already have a fiancee aka prospective wife.

"Oh, so you already have a fiancee?"

"Yes, Mr. Umar. I just haven't publicized my relationship, because my future wife is a little shy." After saying that, Galang slightly imagined the face of Vina who was smiling with a red hue on both cheeks.

"All right, if so. We'll take care of you, sir. I wait for your invitation," said Mr. Umar, the look in his eyes seemed to imply disappointment as well as that of his daughter. Again, though, Galang did not care. He was lazy to connect with those women.

She leaned back on the sofa after the departure of her guest. He stared at Fedrick sharply. "Other times, ask first what the purpose is to find me," said Galang half grumbled.

"I've done it, sir, but he always said, please just call your boss. Don't ask too many questions. What can I do, sir. I'm just your subordinate" Fedrick said.

"Because of you, I missed a good moment."

"What moment is that, sir? and again, do you really have a candidate?" ask Fedrick.

"It looks like I'll be letting go of my free time soon."

"Who's with you, sir?" lick Fedrick.

"Secret," Galang said with a wink.
