This morning was not like a normal Sunday. If it is usually Sunday after dawn prayers Budi washed the car, but today Budi after dawn prayers he only slept in bed while watching the news. It is not good to sleep in a hotel early in the morning just sleeping while watching TV. Waiting at half-time for breakfast at the hotel restaurant.

The sound of connecting doors opened.

“Pak Budi, where do we have breakfast? In the room or in the restaurant?” Poppy went into Budi's room.

Budi who was watching TV while sleeping immediately woke up.

Poppy entered her room in a long pajama shirt and an instant veil.

“Mother wants breakfast where?” Back to asking.

“Di restaurant,” replied Poppy.

“Okeh we go to the restaurant at half-seven. Now Mom get ready first.” said Budi.

“If Mr Setyo's invitation what time?’ ask Poppy.

“Jam ten, Mom. We leave at half-ten. Later from the invitation of Mr. Setyo we take a walk.,” replied Budi casually.

“I want to take a shower first. I'm already hungry,” said Poppy as she returned to her room.

Hadeuh bumil thought only food, Budi said in his heart while shaking his head.

At half-time Poppy was ready for breakfast.

Tok….. Poppy knocked on the door connecting door.

“Pak Budi, let's have breakfast,” call Poppy while entering Budi's room.

Facing the window, he was talking to someone over the phone.

“Good, Sir.”

“Di hotel ..... near hotel Pak Setyo, Pak.”

“Telefon from whom, Sir?” tanya Poppy approached Budi.

“From Mr. Rahadian,” Budi put his phone in his pants pocket and faced Poppy.

“White, know me to Bandung?” ask Poppy.

“Yes. I told him,” replied Budi.

‘Let's have breakfast first. She said she was hungry,” Budi while walking out of the room.

Poppy followed Budi from behind.

Poppy looks anteng tasting food one by one. The mummy eats quietly.

“Papih was anything to Pak Budi?” poppy asked while eating crackers.

“Pak Rahadian told me to travel around the city of Bandung to survey the place,” Budi replied while sipping hot coffee.

Poppy furrowed her brows.

“For what?” ask Poppy confused.

“To open a branch Rangga’s Hotel & Resto,” replied Budi.

“Who wants to finance? Do we have the funds to open a branch?” poppy asked uncertainly.

“There, Mom. Before Mr. Rangga died he had planned this,” replied Budi while cutting bread.

“Which watches over who? Mr. Budi is in the center,” Poppy looks at Budi seriously.

“I am the one holding the Bandung branch. Mother who holds the center,” replied Budi calmly.

“What? No ah, ntar instead I ruffled the headquarters,” Poppy evasive.

“Loh, I'm the Owner. Time Mom want to ngacak-ngacak own business?” Be protesting, Mom the boss is usually just ruffled.

“Just Mr. Budi who holds in the center and in Bandung,” exclaimed Poppy.

“Ya, I have been back and forth Bandung Jakarta. After all there is no place,” said Budi relented.

“Then it's good,” Poppy said.

“But I asked for a raise, yes Mom. It works double,” said Budi

“If you want to take a salary ask the same Papih. If my new Papih acc acc also,” replied Poppy while raising her eyebrows.

“OK, Bu Bos,” says Budi while standing.

“Pak Budi where are you going?” poppy asked to see Budi moving from his stool.

“You take chicken porridge. Miss Poppy want?”

“Ngak, ah. It's full,” replied Poppy pointing to a table full of food.

“Or do you want me to get something? Juice or pudding?” ask Budi.

“Pudding aja,” replied Poppy

Budi brought pudding to Poppy. Then he brought the chicken for himself. After Budi and Poppy finished breakfast, they returned to the room to get ready for Mr. Setyo's invitation.

*********

Budi walked next to Poppy when entering the Ballroom of the hotel owned by Mr. Setyo. Before entering the Ballroom they are asked to fill in the guest book. Because Budi and Poppy were invited separately so they each filled in the guest book.

“Dateng. Kan while walking,” replied Budi.

“Who to Bandung ?” ask the man.

“Tuh, same Bu Bos,” Budi pointed towards Poppy who was waiting for Budi.

The man looked towards Poppy.

“Gile beautiful real. Is that really boss loe?” ask the man uncertainly.

“Iya it's my boss,” replied Budi.

“Pantesan elo reject offer Mr. Edward, boss loe kayak angel. Charisa loses to boss Loe,” said the man looked at Poppy unblinkingly.

“Gue to my boss first. Poor him standing still waiting for me,” said Budi left his friend.

“Eh, Budi... recognize my dong to boss loe,” shouted the man.

“No, loe Casanova. Later my boss loe kadalin again,” replied Budi while approaching Poppy.

“Pelit loe,” shouted the man.

He ignored the screams of his friend.

Every time Budi met with the assistant bosses and managers, they would ask,

“Who is Bud?”

Budi replied,” Bu bos.”

They must have said, "I know I dong same beautiful boss loe."

He always replied, "No."

Budi invites Poppy to approach the host Mr. Setyo.

“Pak Budi thank you for coming all the way here,” said Mr. Setyo while greeting Budi.

“Bu Poppy thank you for coming,” said Mr. Setyo greet Poppy.

“Sama-sama, Sir,” replied Poppy.

“Pak Budi – Bu Poppy please taste the dish,” said Mr. Setyo.

“Yes, Sir. Thank you,” said Budi while inviting Poppy to find an empty seat.

The MCs sound from the stage.

“Welcome Mr GM Budi and Mrs Bos Poppy . Thank you for coming to Bandung. To enliven the atmosphere how if Mr. GM sang a song for all of us,” said MC. I don't know who's crazy to ask Budi to sing a song.

He gave no sign to the MC.

“Can't sing,” Shouts Budi. But the screams of Budi were not heard. His friends assistants and managers pulled Budi's hand and pushed Budi's back to get on stage. While the bosses only see the behavior of his men. Poppy laughed seeing Budi being forced onto the stage.

“Pak Budi getting on stage must be forced. Shame on Boss,” said MC.

“I can't sing,” exclaimed Budi.

“Huuuu... lie,” scream friends Budi.

“Let her voice be ugly too. The important thing is that Mr. Budi sings,” Mc said.

I don't want to have to sing.

If I had to live my life without you near me

The day would all be empty

The nights would seem so long

There was a sound of bass belonging to Budi that sounded melodious in the ear. Welcomed with applause and a boisterous whistling sound in the ears.

With you I see forever, oh, so clearly

I might have been in love before

But it never felt this strong

Poppy looked at Budi who was singing without blinking.

Their eyes met accidentally. Poppy smiled as she brandished both thumbs of her fingers. Seeing Poppy smile, Budi also returned Poppy's smile.

Our dreams are young and we both know

They’ll take us where we want to go

Hold me now, touch me now

I don’t want to live without you

Nothing’s gonna change my love for you

You know by now how much I love you

One thing you can be sure of

I’ never ask for mor than you love

Nothing’s gonna change my love for you

You know by now how much I love you

One thing you can be sure of

I’ never ask for more than your love

{ Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love For You by Goerge Benson }

After Budi finished singing the guests gave a lively applause and a boisterous whistle from his friends.

“Thank you Mr. GM, it turns out that his voice is melodious, it's worth being forced to sing,” said the MC.

Go back to his seat. From a distance, Mr. Edward Indrayana and Charisa approached Poppy. It was seen that Mr. Edward greeted Poppy. Budi quickly approached Poppy. Be afraid that Mr. Edward is disturbing Poppy and talking about the no-no.
