Grandpa's Choice Man

Not Even a Day

"It's almost evening. If you go home with Rama alone especially in a state of Rama like this, must be very suspicious," Hans denied.

"What to suspect? Mama Rama knows me well and is familiar with me. His wife must know he's close to us. Do you know Rama's house?" bela Selvi was convinced.

"We better get the three of us. You also certainly will not be strong memapah Rama alone, Sel," said Hendra mediate.

"Good idea" Hans said.

Different from Selvi's response. He looked so annoyed but could no longer pucker up. His eyes narrowed and glanced cynically at his two working partners. Inevitably, he had to obey the will of Hans and Hendra because he could not defend himself anymore. Hans and Hendra's concern for Tiara certainly made Selvi inflamed.

"OKAY. Because I don't have a car and I know the way, so I'll take Rama's car?" selvi asked back a calm face.

"OK," replied Hans and Hendra in unison.

Hans and Hendra also beat Rama to the parking lot, while Selvi followed by carrying Rama's bag. Arriving in the parking lot, of course, it is so easy Selvi found Rama's car contact because Rama likes to store goods in the same place. Selvi reached into the front pocket of the bag and immediately found the car keys there.

"OKAY. You walk ahead yes, Sel," said Hans after successfully put Rama to sleep in the back seat of the car.

"Yes," dejected Selvi.

"Do we need to see a doctor first?" hans's proposal is anxious.

"No need. Rama used to be like this, Hans. I know him well" Sambar Selvi.

"Okay then" said Hans more calmly.

As recommended by Hans, Selvi also drove Rama's car followed by Hans and Hendra tailed behind him. Selvi is also looking for a way to avoid Hans and Hendra's dreams without suspecting. After a few minutes of thinking, he got a brilliant idea. His smile was triumphant.

"okay, Rama. In a moment, nothing will bother us to have fun" Selvi said while looking at a glimpse of Rama who was still lying in the backseat.

Selvi also chose a road that is prone to traffic jams in the evening like this. As expected, the road was densely slithering. Although not completely stopped but the vehicle must go very slowly like a snail. Really, the sights are already prevalent in this metropolis.

As if the universe was on Selvi's side, he could also get a hazy gap from Hans and Hendra's view in the middle of the traffic density. Selvi can get ahead of some cars in front of him quite brutally until some cars honked as almost tangent to Rama's car. In fact, Hans and Hendra had lost track of Selvi's indecency to raid the road amid this kind of density.

"Crazy is Selvi" said Hans unexpectedly.

"It looks like we lost track, sir," said Hendra who gave up not daring to chase Selvi in the middle of density.

Many times, Hans tries to contact Selvi but Selvi does not pick up. Hans can still be prejudiced if Selvi is focusing on driving.

"Then, how are we going to follow him like this? We also do not know Rama's house. Selvi also could not be reached," asked Hans puzzled.

"How about we just go home, sir? We just need to contact Mr. Bayu to make sure Rama gets home or not. How, Sir?" asked Hendra politely.

"yes too. It's also free we try to find it in the middle of a traffic jam like this. Perhaps, it's better that way," Hans replied approvingly.

Hans immediately contacted Bayu. It did not take long, Bayu also answered his call.

"Hello, Bayu," said Hans.

"Yes, Mr. Hans," Bayu said across the phone.

"So, Rama fainted after a meeting. Just now we delivered three, Selvi forced to bring Rama and his car. Can you please make sure he gets home or not?" ask Hans to the point.

"Huh? The selvi? Mr Rama escorted Selvi?" pekik Bayu flabbergasted.

Bayu was so anxious because Rama had just made up with Tiara. His return with Selvi will certainly greatly shake the inner little miss. He was also worried about how to explain to Tiara about this situation.

"Yes. But, the traffic was heavy and we lost track" Hans said, making Bayu's eyes perfectly balled.

"Have you contacted Selvi, sir?" ask Bayu.

"Udah. But, not answered. Maybe, being focused on driving," Hans replied no less anxious.

"OKAY. It's okay, sir. Let me make sure to go home. Thank you for the info, Mr. Hans," said Bayu, grabbing a jacket on the back of the door hanger.

"OKAY. Do not forget to give news of the development of Rama. I am very worried about his situation. Be careful on the road," Hans pinta really cares.

"Ready, Sir. Mr. Hans is also careful on the way," said Bayu aloud.

Elsewhere, Bayu immediately exits the house and sits in a sign after Hans turns off the call. Bayu also thought to order an ojek online because traffic is heavy, of course using a car is not the right solution.

"What am I supposed to do this first? Find the whereabouts of the Boss or meet Little Miss first. Lusty!" woo Gerricks to himself.

After considering many things, the first choice fell on the Tiara. At least, by visiting Rama's house, he can make sure Rama gets home or not and can explain to Tiara if Selvi will give a statement of sorts. He was very concerned about the relationship between Rama and Tiara because he knew how the twists and turns in their household. He understood very well how much love and unfortunately Rama to his wife so it was not hearty if they had to separate again because of misunderstanding.

...****************...

Arriving Bayu at Rama's house, apparently Tiara had been pacing on the veranda by holding her phone restlessly. The anxiety was clearly read by Bayu's plain eyes even though Tiara's face looked calmer. Seeing Bayu come using an online ojek, Tiara stopped her bulge steps and waited for Bayu who walked quickly to meet him. Tiara's face certainly turned more sad to imagine what Bayu would say and hope no bad news befall her husband.

"Om Bayu, you can't be reached. Why did you come here yourself? Where's Brother?" whinek Tiara was like a frightened child left alone.

"Let me explain" said Bayu to invite his little lady to sit down.

After the two sat down, Bu Ina came out from behind the door. Bu Ina was no less anxious to see Bayu home without Rama with him. Bu Ina immediately joined them sitting down after shouting to Bi Siti to make her drink Bayu. Actually Bayu is not interested in getting a banquet but hesitates to refuse the gift.

"What's wrong, Boy Bayu?" ask Bu Ina softly.

"Look. Hans called me that Bang Rama had fainted after the meeting was over. Then, escorted home by Mr. Hans, Hendra, and Selvi. Because Selvi forced, he finally brought Rama and his car. In the middle of the traffic jam, Hans and Hendra who followed them even lost track. Therefore, Mr. Hans contacted me to make sure the Boss has gone home yet. I guess they got home first, but they haven't. Maybe, being stuck in traffic on the road," said Bayu.

Bu Ina and Tiara are stunned to hear Rama pass out, and are escorted home by Selvi. Bu Ina's face was red with annoyance. How could he not be angry to know that, even Tiara has not even a day back home but has been treated to this bad news.

Bu Ina and Bayu were both staring at the lowered Tiara. His roar turned mellow with tears already hanging on his feathers. There was no anger in his father's face, there was only a disappointment that was clearly controlling him. No words came out, only a heavy sigh held back the fatigue.

"OKAY. We wait for the return of Rama," said Bu Ina calming.

"Yes, Mom. I've deployed the Boss' confidants to conduct a search. If only the phone was on, of course I could track its position. Hopefully nothing happens to him," said Bayu trying to relax.

"Did you still love Selvi?" cetus Tiara spontaneously made Bu Ina and Bayu stunned for a moment.

"No, Honey. Rama is truly your love and affection" said Bu Ina as he rubbed his daughter-in-law's back.

"Bang Rama is very dear to Mbak Tiara. When Mbak Tiara left, Bang Rama was like a mad man," Bayu added.

"When it's like this, what should I do? When Brother was sick, even Selvi who was nearby and took care of him," Tiara denied calm but harbored deep pain.

"Yes because they were in a meeting together. Reasonable, Honey. We better pray Rama may come home soon and not why," said Bu Ina embrace his daughter-in-law.

"But, Tiara could not calm down. Tiara imagined nothing would happen to them," Tiara looked back at Bu Ina's eyes.

"Yes, Honey. Mama's worried, but Mama doesn't know what to do. We pray Rama yes," said Bu Ina hugging his daughter-in-law.

Bayu also played his phone restlessly because Rama's confidants never gave news, while Tiara was getting quiet but very worrying. After Tiara, Bu Ina, and Bayu performed congregational Isha prayers, Bayu was surprised by his cellphone showing Rama's message.

Immediately he snatched the cell phone at the table of the Rama family's living room and opened the message enthusiastically. His eyes widened to see Rama sending a photo of Selvi who had been bare-chested to his back in the distance. Bayu immediately concluded that they were in the hotel.

"Some word from Brother, Om?" tanya Tiara who suddenly stood behind Bayu.

Bayu was shocked to the point that his tongue was running out of words to answer Tiara's question. In addition, he was also confused how to explain the situation of Rama because Rama only sent a photo of Selvi bare-chested without a word. It will certainly present a variety of prejudices and very heartbreaking little miss.

"Om," Pinta Tiara expected an answer.

What am I supposed to tell him? I can't bear to show you this. Ronta batin Bayu's.
