Eternal Promises

Part 49's

The last 3 days Darwin did not enter the office, he spent his days looking for the existence of Asmira wherever he could. The last attempt he didn't make was to advertise missing people in newspapers and radio stations, he didn't want his children and wife in danger. Irresponsible people can do anything in exchange for money.

The state of the office is getting chaotic, Pratiwi is overwhelmed to handle everything alone. Darwin didn't seem to want to bother about it all. He is still not saturated looking for his wife and child, he is not desperate, he believes Asmira can not forget it just like that. Darwin believed Asmira was only punishing him.

Next day. Early in the morning, Darwin was running in the morning around the complex. This activity he had left behind long ago. I don't know what made him do it again, it seems he was tired of contemplating his fate which in the stay go wife. 30 minutes later, he went home and immediately got ready to go to his office.

After a shower and breakfast, he was ready to go to the office. But when he got out of the house he was quite surprised to see his car lined up neatly in the garage.

“You're shocked?” valen surprised Darwin.

“Mas, why was this car brought here?”

“You want papa to know all these events?” Valen asked back. Darwin shook his head like a child who was being angered by his father.

“This is take all your fancy car keys. My butterflies can explode if every day you don't stop nagging. I'm surprised, you're the one who made my problem hit!” valen grumbled, his face looking unfriendly.

Valen is upset with Jessica who nags every day. His wife asked him to take Darwin's car from her in-laws' house. Jessica knew Darwin wouldn't dare go to Marco's house.

“I'm sorry,” said Darwin.

“Already, let's go,” take Valen.

Darwin returned as usual, today he is ready to resume his work that he had long left, had almost a month all his work abandoned, just like that, many clients have complained that they are not satisfied with Darwin's recent performance.

“Everything's messed up, Sir.” That was the first word Pratiwi said when he entered Darwin's room.

“You mean?”

“Many clients have canceled cooperation with our company, sir. For today alone some clients have canceled the meeting,” said Pratiwi.

“What's the cause?” ask Darwin for wonder.

“Do you not know the information about the recently opened company?” ask Pratiwi.

Two weeks ago, the country was in turmoil with the presence of subsidiary branches of Japan's Sakura country, which is also engaged in infrastructure. Recently they opened a general cooperation. The goal is their efforts to prove the quality of their performance that does not need to be doubted.

Many companies are interested in working with them. There are even some companies that secretly break contracts with other companies just to join the company.

“Did you ever hear the name Takao Shuji?” pratiwi asked after seeing Darwin's confusion.

Darwin's eyes opened perfectly hearing the name called his Assistant. Who does not know the figure of Takao Shuji, the man who is the same age as Marco is a successful businessman in Japan who is engaged in various fields of company, with subsidiaries spread in several countries. Takao Shuji's wife is a native of town A, but they have long moved and settled in Japan.

“Anak Takao Shuji is the founder of a branch company in the city of A,” said Pratiwi who made Darwin surprised instead of playing. How not, during this time Takao himself never exposed his son to the public, many wonder how the face of their sons and daughters with a mixture of indojapan.

“It's not that easy, sir. Many have tried but no one has got the green light yet, even the media crew has not got any information about the child Takao Shuji.”

“You try first, maybe you can,” Darwin said again.

“Alright, Sir. I will try,” pratiwi said.

After knowing the information about the new company, Darwin was still not out of thought, is it easy that he lost the trust of his clients first? Darwin has long been in the business world, the salt acid of life has been through all this time. Then is it that easy to be taken over just by another company that just entered the city of A?

“Ah come, I'm more troubled to think about who the man with my wife is than who Takao Shuji's son is,” Darwin murmured to himself. He continued his long-abandoned work.

While somewhere else. Martha's longing for Evano was unstoppable, day and night she always thought of her grandson. Marco also did, for 3 weeks he had not met his grandson, every time he invited Martha to visit Evano, there was a reason given Martha, Martha, I don't know when she can cover it all from her husband.

“Pa, let's take a walk?” take Martha that afternoon. His mind was not calm, it seemed like he needed some fresh air out there.

“Way to where, Ma. Tumben ..” said Marco folded the newspaper in his hand.

“To anywhere, it has been a long time we do not walk together,” said Martha smiled, she embraced Marco's arm.

“You call Samsul let us leave immediately,” pinta Marco then.

Samsul continued to run his car without a definite purpose to where his employer wanted to go, he was reluctant to ask, the reason, the two employers were swept away in their minds, the atmosphere in the car was silent, and the, sometimes only the sound of breathing sounds heavy.

Martha leaned her head against the car seat, her mind wandering everywhere. While Marco kept looking at Martha curiously, he smelled the stench of trouble his wife was hiding.

They passed by a beautiful lake that was far from the noise of the city. Martha recalled her memories with Asmira, she had been there together with her daughter-in-law.

“Pak Samsul, stop here for a minute,” pinta Martha.

“Ma, it's almost dark,” Marco said.

“Come, Pa. Just a moment.”

Martha got out of her car, she walked to the place she had been sitting with Asmira, she remembered the laughter of her daughter-in-law. Asmira the innocent girl who had changed Darwin's cold attitude, she was very grateful to the mother of her grandchildren.

“Do not punish us like this, son,” Martha murmured in heart, he put his hands on his chest, he closed his eyes holding back the pain of longing that had peaked in his chest.

“Ma, let's go home,” Marco, make Martha wake up from her daydream, she hugs her husband's arm to the car. They left before it got dark.

Don't forget to like yes ..
