Getting Marriage on Paper

Assistant Geblik

One week passed, at a large company El again met his adoptive Papa. Wanting to say hello to the father, but Mr. Aristya did not look at him at all. Even El's hand was not accepted by his father.

Now in the meeting room, both Mr. Aristya and El are equally competing presentations in front of Mr. Jackson's. All their ability to win this big tender.

At the end of the meeting, Mr. Jackson entrusted this large tender to the El company.

"Yes" said Haris, hugging his boss. "We won the boss" Haris said.

"Yes Ris. We won it" replied El.

After Mr. Jackson out. Aristya and her assistant approached El and Haris.

"Congratulations. I am proud of your presentation. You deserve to win this big tender" said Mr. Aristya as he extended his hand.

"Father, thank you for the reward" answered El welcoming his papa's hand.

"You forgot if I wasn't your papa. Reza we're leaving now."

"Okay sir" said Reza. "Haris, congratulations. Finally after so many years, you can win also from me" Reza said, shaking Haris' hand.

"Hahaha, are you going to praise me for insulting me?" ask Haris cynically.

"Two," Reza replied with a sly smile.

"Sir El I'll excuse you first" said Reza back.

"Please" replied El.

El's eyes continued to look at his adoptive father's back. The back that as a child always carries his body, invites a round around the house.

"Well, how much do you hate El? I'm sorry for the reward, if El's ambition has a legacy papa used to hurt mom and dad. But deep down, I love you with all my heart," Inner El.

"Cih, Reza is arrogant, song again," said Haris full of emotion. El's eyes turned towards him.

"So arrogant as songong what is Ris? Doesn't it mean the same thing?" ask El wonder.

"Yes means the same sir. But the writing was different," Haris made El furious with the answer.

"Well, I know Ris too. Arrogant writing and songong is different."

"Well, why did you ask?"

"Yes to Ris. Instead of arguing, we should celebrate our victory. You call Clara, get her a catering order for the lunch of all the employees tomorrow. We're having a dinner together in the office hall."

"Good sir. The rest of the food tomorrow can I take home, right sir?" ask Haris.

"Make what?"

"Make in love to the future-in-law sir."

"WHAT?? You can give leftovers to your future in-laws Ris?"

"It's not heart sir but it's irit. If buying is expensive. Tomorrow I set them aside and Maya sir. Can you sir?"

"WHATEVER!!" el replied as he walked away from Haris.

"Thank you Mr. El" cried Haris. He then rushed after El who first preceded him.

Day after day passed, and now it was the fourth month in the fourth year that Chika left her. There has been no development on the whereabouts of Chika. But El still did not give up, he continued to find out where his wife and child are now.

In a small contract, Chika is living happily with Kie, her only son. Chika herself has not dared to go to her parents' grave. He is afraid that if he meets El in the street, El will take Kie from him.

Chika has been working as a waitress for a food stall near the terminal for a month. As for Kie, he was already used to staying at home while watching tivi alone. Chika will come home every 12 noon to send food for Kie.

That day, as usual, Chika went to work, while Kie was at home.

"Kie, mama went to work first. Mom's coming home later to send food to Kie. Kie what do you want?" ask Chika while kissing Kie's embossed cheek.

"Don't, ma'am" replied Kie.

"Yes, I'll bring you some fried fish. Mama lock house yes Kie, and remember the message mama do not go out the house through the window. In aja yes, watch tivi if not play car. Keep if Kie sleepy bobok ya."

"Yes, um."

The Civano company..

"Who is the boss?" ask Haris.

El raises both his shoulders. "Most Clara Ris. Come in," El said.

"Excuse me Mr. El, someone wants to see you" said Clara.

"Who?"

"I sir" Reza arrived from behind.

"You!!" Haris stood up while pointing at his old rival.

"Haris sit down" said El.

"But boss," Haris protested.

"Sit down! Clara you can come out. And please close the door."

"Okay sir" Clara replied as she walked out and closed the door to El's study.

After the door closed, Reza looked down respectfully at El.

"Mister El's afternoon" said Reza.

"Sore Za's. Please sit down."

"Thank you sir."

Haris looked to the side, where his toughest rival had been sitting next to him. Reza did not respond to Haris's gaze. Because from a long time ago, Reza never considered Haris as a rival.

"What are you doing here, Za?" ask El.

"Mrs is very sick in the hospital, sir. And he always called my father's name. Lord Aristya ordered me to come here. Please come with me to the hospital with me, sir. Poor lady Sarah. He had been so missed by Mr. El" said Reza.

El speechless. He did not expect that his foster mother missed him so much. And it turns out that El's longing was also felt by his mother.

"Well I'll come with you" said El.

"Thank you sir" Reza replied with a smile.

"Sir, let my father take you. I'm not sure this flea is telling the truth. Who knows there are shrimp behind the shell," said Haris to make the eyes of El and Reza equally glared confused. I don't understand Haris' words.

"You mean the shrimp behind the rock yes Ris," El tried to justify the proverb that Haris said.

"No sir. If the shrimp behind the rock is common. Now again there are shrimp behind the shell," replied Haris back.

I want Reza to laugh at Haris. He just covered his mouth with his hands. Not good either, later thought ngetawain Haris, trouble again deh.

"Pak El kok at home ya have assistant geblek kayak gini. There is no cool as an assistant. It's just that in his brain, it's just that" Reza murmured while glancing at Haris.

"Are you lyrically, have a crush on me?" ask Haris sadistically.

Reza shook his head. "No, I'm still normal."

Alarmed by the debate of the two assistants who never get along, immediately El broke them.

"Already have. Ris, it's not that I don't want you to drop off. But you do want wedding dress fittings with Maya in the boutique right? Did you forget?" el says.

"I forgot sir. But I went to the boutique magrib kok sir. So I can take Mr. El to the hospital first. I want to make sure if the words of this flea are true and do not exist," explained Haris.

"Currently, do you think I want to kidnap Mr El?" sahut Reza while looking at Haris sharply.

"It is already. I'm tired of seeing you guys fight. Reza let me come with Haris' car. The important thing is that I come to the hospital to see my mom, right?"

"Good sir. If it wants dad. Then excuse me sir. Oh yes, the mistress was treated at the Cahaya Kasih hospital" said Reza.

"Okay Za's. Tell papa I'll be there. Please go first, I'll follow up."

"Good sir."

Shortly after Reza's departure, El and Haris head to the hospital to fulfill his papa's call.

"Well, wait El ya mah. Mom should be healed. El will bring mom's favorite fruits. El is very dear to you, Mama" said El in his heart.

"Ris, later if there's a fruit shop drop by. I want to buy my mom's favorite fruit."

"Good sir."
