Exchanging Bride

Birthday Gift

Kiara made Bima's heart shake with a sad feeling just by seeing her cry. It felt like Bima was destroying the entire world that made Kiara cry. Bima then looked at the thick envelope containing the donation money in her hand. Bima feels this is the right time to approach Kiara and mother Nur. BIma hopes to stop Kiara's crying due to her sudden arrival approaching the two.

"Kiara and Mommy are here? I've been looking for you guys." Bima greeted from afar as she stepped closer.

"Yes, Bima sir. Sorry for being such a rude host. Not welcoming guests well." Mother Nur answered while approaching Bima. Gave space to Kiara to wipe her tears.

"I just want to give you this, Mother. Hopefully it can be useful for the children in this orphanage." Bima handed me the envelope she had been holding. "Hopefully it can be useful for the children in this orphanage. It's not much, but please accept."

Kiara had turned her head towards Bima and mother Nur. His face was astonished to see the thick brown envelope Bima gave him.

"God's Majesty Bima. Thank you very much. Whatever donations from benefactors like you, we're very grateful, sir." Miss Nur this time who started to glaze over.

"Don't cry like that, mother. It's not how much. Hopefully I can make a donation routine for this home. This time I went to the orphanage. And seeing the children eating with a simple menu like that made my heart tremble. I who like to be picky these foods become very grateful for my life after seeing them."

"Again thanks, sir. It's been a good boss for Kiara. We're also donating to our orphanage." Hearing the umpteenth thanks, made Bima reply with a smile.

"Yes, you're both mothers. May I speak to Kiara?"

"Please Mr. Bima. I'll stay inside first." Mother Nur passed.

"Thank you, sir." Again a thank you. For Bima, it was a small amount of money.

"I should be grateful." Bima looked at Kiara who was still bowing her face. "I'm sorry I overheard your conversation with you earlier."

Kiara surprised. Then Kiara started looking into Bima's eyes.

"May I ask you something?" Bima was a little careful.

"I know what you want to ask." Kiara threw away her face. He turned his gaze towards the lush trees in the orphanage grounds.

"I've been in this home since birth." Bima just silently listened.

"My mother promised Mother Nur would come to pick me up if the family economy had improved. But if not, I leave the address. If I can make my own money and go back to them, mom will let me come to that address."

Kiara only glared far away despite her gaze towards the trees.

"What's your plan now, Kiara?" Bima tried to divert Kiara's grief.

"I'm going to Jakarta. Maybe tomorrow I start to submit my resignation and move to Jakarta."

"You don't have to resign." Bima tried to attract Kiara's attention to look into her eyes again.

"You can I mutation for work at the central hotel in Jakarta." Kiara finally looked back into Bima's eyes as Bima wished.

"Can it be like that, sir?" Kiara still can't believe it.

"Of course you can. Your salary in Jakarta will also increase to be greater. Because here is only a branch hotel in a small town. The turnover is not as big as a central hotel."

"I'll be back in Jakarta in 3 days. We can go to Jakarta together. I'll take you to your parents' address. Wanna?"

Kiara looked at Bima again. Seeking earnestness from his gaze or a joke. But Kiara felt Bima meant it with her offer.

"Why is my father so good with me?"

"Because you're good too. Rarely do I meet a good girl like you." Bima was still staring at Kiara who was increasingly looking adorable.

"I'm not that good, sir." Kiara. "I'm not a good boy. My parents just don't want my existence."

"You're good, Kiara. Your parents must regret abandoning a good boy like you."

Kiara did not answer. He just shed tears back. Bima let Kiara cry until satisfied. Just stay by his side. I want to hug the girl. But this was only the first day Bima approached him. Bima did not want Kiara to run away because she was hugged by a man she just knew.

At least Bima will wait until they are in Jakarta to make Kiara his girlfriend. Because there Kiara is a kara. Bima had a hunch that Kiara would not be that easy to unite with her parents in Jakarta.

After Kiara let out her grief and stopped her silent crying, Bima wanted to say goodbye and handed over the gift that Bima had prepared.

"Happy birthday." A fairly large gift box was handed over by Bima to Kiara. "Please accept."

Kiara was surprised by what Bima did. But after being silent for quite a while, Kiara finally decided to accept the gift.

"Open up."

Kiara still hesitantly pulled the ribbon over the gift and unscrewed the box. There are work shoes, handbags and watches that look like a pair.

"Just consider complementing your appearance for a new office in Jakarta later. To complete your work uniform later." Only Bima spoke. Kiara can't say anything yet.

"I say yes. I'll pick you up tomorrow." Bima passed from before Kiara just like that, leaving Kiara who was still confused by this new Boss.

There was a flowery feeling in Kiara's heart. This birthday that is usually sad for Kiara is closed by Bima with a warm feeling. No longer the sadness of feeling discarded.

Mother Nur saw Kiara enter with a box of gifts. A smile on his face.

"Blessed Kiara. Rest assured after this you will begin to meet only with happiness." Mother Nur tried to convince.

The next day, Bima picked up Kiara. They went to the hotel together. Bima began to take care of everything regarding Kiara's move to the central hotel. Determine his position when in Jakarta later also Kiara's residence.

Kiara graduates D3 hospitality with excellent grades. There would be no problem if Kiara was placed as a receptionist in the central hotel. Just like here. If Kiara's performance is good and already understands the ins and outs of the hotel there, Kiara could Bima recommend to move up the post after some time.

"Ah..why have I planned that far for this girl." thought Bima.

"You have fascinated me, Kiara" Bima said to herself.
