BETWEEN YOU AND HIM

The Part 54

" actually... Miss wants_.." said Danang slowly.

" Mas Rey...! Come breakfast.." cried Syifa from the terrace.

Not yet Danang finished speaking, Syifa had already appeared before him.

" Yes, honey. Why yell - yell anyway?" Reyhan.

" What are you talking about?" syifa's search that saw the two men before her looked solemn.

" Nothing to talk about, let's go in!" sahut Reyhan's.

Reyhan embraced his lover's shoulder affectionately. The girl looked really pretty this morning in her work clothes.

" It's beautiful and fragrant, can_..."

" stop! Don't be so much of a whim." exclaimed Syifa.

" What's going to the office, baby?"

" No, my loyal lover has already picked me up."

" Dear...!" rengk Reyhan's.

Reyhan continued to stick to Syifa until he reached the dining table. He did not care about the strange gaze of Cathy and her parents.

" Breakfast first, wasn't satisfied last night?" ledek.

" What's satisfied, Pa?" ask mama.

" Papa ngaco said it." Reyhan said.

" Where was boss last night? Cathy's looking in no room, borrowing Stev's phone" Cathy said.

" It's in the room, you don't see it."

" Of course, let's have breakfast. Cathy, you'll come with me to the boutique all the way." said Mama Salma.

" Yes, Mom. Thanks." Cathy said gladly.

After breakfast, they go to do their own activities. Reyhan came to Syifa's office because he didn't want to be separated from his girl.

" I'm sorry, Non. Departure of parts huh? My work hours are an hour earlier than other employees."

" It's okay, Nang."

Syifa entered the elevator to her room followed by Reyhan. Not many employees have come, only the cleaning service and OB.

" Rey, papa really hopes you can lead this company. You are the only successor to papa." said papa Hendra.

Now Reyhan is in the President's room with his father, Mr. Hendra Aditama.

" Sorry, Pa. But Reyhan already has his own company that is bigger than this company. Reyhan can't just leave her."

" When is Rey? Papa can't possibly forever take care of this company alone."

" Papa can entrust this company to Syifa. Rey believes Syifa can manage this company well."

" But Rey_..."

" Pa, there's no difference between Reyhan or Syifa. She's Reyhan's future wife, going to be papa's son too."

" Papa can't do it before you're married."

" Rey needs time, Pa. Syifa did not want to move to America. He won't leave papa and mama."

Papa Hendra thought of a way for Reyhan to settle down in Indonesia and live with him.

" Rey, papa has a suggestion for your problem."

" What advice, Pa?"

" Move the headquarters of S.A Properties in Jakarta so that the one in America will be a branch office that you can leave to your confidants."

" Can it be, Pa? It must have taken a long process."

" Yes, you can find clients here and your men can handle clients there. And you don't have to part with Syifa either."

" Papa's advice is good too, Reyhan doesn't think getting there. Rey will talk to my assistant there first."

" Don't take too long, fearing Syifa's love falters even more with no clear certainty."

Reyhan chuckled at his papa's words. From childhood Reyhan was so close to his papa that there was nothing he could cover from the middle-aged man.

" Syifa can't be, Pa..."

" Have you guys been_..."

" Papa don't worry, Reyhan can't do that." Reyhan said not accept the accusation of his father.

" Don't you believe me, all night in one room what's the matter?" ledek papa Hendra's.

" Athaghfirullah that night Syifa was sick, so Rey accompanied him. Reyhan also slept on the couch."

" Hahahaa.. yes, yes, papa's child is not possible to do such a thing even if_..."

" Even though Syifa's lips had been bitten by an ant, hahahaa," papa Hendra laughed with satisfaction.

" Oh, my dad never did!" dengus Reyhan's.

" It never was, papa people know your mother after the marriage contract."

" Masa' anyway? How could that be?"

Reyhan became curious about the story of his father's youth when he first met his mother. It seems like their story is very interesting to tell.

" Before, papa studied in Singapore. Like you, papa hasn't been home for five years. Papa also built a business there and was quite successful. Until one day, your grandmother followed you to Singapore and forced me to go home."

" What is his relationship with Mom?" ask Reyhan.

Papa Hendra exhaled slowly before continuing his story. He drank a mouthful of water to smooth his throat.

" When you come home, you are not immediately taken home but go straight to the house of someone your grandmother said was the house of her best friend. Upon entering the gate of the house, there was an event. Papa was immediately told to enter and sat in front of the ruler to pledge the ijab qobul."

" Why didn't papa refuse? Even papa has never seen mom."

" Didn't you remember your grandmother's sharp gaze? Better papa get stabbed a thousand daggers."

" Why did you agree to marry me?"

" He also has no reason to refuse because the parents say, we have been in a match since childhood."

" but... Papa doesn't regret marrying your mom?"

" Your mother was a good person, but her obsession with building boutiques made her forget everything else. But it doesn't matter to papa."

" But mom and dad can love each other?"

" Nobody knows, Rey."

" Huft. Why did Syifa meet for so long?"

Reyhan is restless waiting for Syifa who left two hours ago. He said he had a meeting, but he didn't come back either.

" You never meet, Rey" said Papa Hendra.

" But it's been too long, Pa."

" Basic youth today!"

Syifa came just in time for a break. He brought food for lunch to himself, Reyhan and his papa. Reyhan is working on some of the files Steven sent.

" Dad, eat yuk first?" Syifa.

" Yes, honey. It's a little more done." Reyhan said.

Syifa prepared the food on the table. Her father had already sat down while waiting for Reyhan to finish his work.

" Continue later, Mom. Not good to wait for the same papa." whispered Syifa.

" Okay, as you say Miss,"

The three of them ate in silence, only Reyhan who occasionally whined for his lover to feed. Papa just shook his head at the spoiled behavior of his son. After eating, Syifa immediately cleaned up their used equipment.

" Fa, what about the project in Bandung?" ask papa Hendra.

" The report from the field has reached 50%, Pa. But Syifa needs to check itself there, because this month's expenditure is too much compared to last month."

" Do you suspect someone is cheating?"

" That's what Syifa wants to investigate."

" Tell others, it's dangerous if you go" Papa said.

" But Deni is going to Bali tomorrow, Pa. Who's going to Bandung?"

" Not staying, dear? The day after tomorrow, Mas has to return to America" Reyhan said.

" No, Mas. Just a minute there." said Syifa.

" Tomorrow I will go there."

" Really, Mas?"

" Yes, honey. I don't want you to go alone."

Syifa is very happy to be able to work while walking with her lover. He hopes that everything will be smooth there are no obstacles.

After talking, Syifa returned to her room to finish her work. Similarly, Reyhan and Papa Hendra are busy with their respective jobs.
