Hope Becomes Reality

Episode 6: Sweet Seventeen

Nura felt that the Boss was favoritism and only concerned Ardi more than the other employees, after hearing this unfair decision, Nura immediately opened her voice.

"But ma'am, what about the fate of our store?, we should not be selfish by thinking only about the interests of one person, mother has been struggling to build this store, I've been struggling to build this store, and just as a result of one person it can be immediately exhausted unceremoniously and will go bankrupt." Nura said with a slight annoyance.

Mona, is someone who has a simple life, after a considerable struggle he finally managed to build a mobile phone store that is quite popular in Jakarta.

Of course, Mona's struggle to build a mobile phone store is huge, she has to sell her house and rent a shophouse so she can sell cell phones and live in the shophouse. All the hardships he had experienced, even at the time when his mobile phone store was almost bankrupt.

However, it could have been his considerable struggle to fail due to a poor man, such as Ardi.

"Already, you just shut up Nura, just do your job, my decision has been unanimous!" Mona said with a slight tone of anger.

What power, Nura can only obey orders from his boss and hold his revenge.

"Let's see, you won't listen to me, your cell phone shop is bound to go bankrupt just because of a snot boy." Nura Murmured.

After a long conversation, Ardi finally returned home to rest, because he had obtained permission from the good-natured boss. Also, Ardi now understands that Nura hates him so much and wants to get him out of his workplace, it all looks from the way Nura rebelled against Mona's decision.

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

3 Days had passed, still no sign of Billy and Clara, Ardi felt a little relieved because it seemed like they would not follow up on yesterday's events.

However, at this point, Billy and Clara are still planning something for Ardi, and will do it the next 2 days at work.

The two of them are indeed very sneaky, they immediately look for information to Ardi's workplace secretly by using Billy's subordinate, who is also known as the, because Clara had previously known that Ardi worked in a mobile phone store in front of Cafe Cursom.

"Look, honey, yesterday when I bought my phone for me using the money you gave me, I saw that Ardi was working part-time at the Jaya Baru mobile store in front of Cafe Cursom where we had dinner last night." Clara tells Billy that Billy can find out in detail about Ardi's life.

"Alright, I'll have my subordinates look for more info on Ardi to the cell phone store." Billy said casually.

—Tring-Tring, Tring-Tring—

After a few minutes telling his subordinates to find out about Ardi, Billy's phone finally rang, Billy immediately lifted his phone next to his right ear and immediately asked.

"Where?, have you found any information about Ardi?" Ask Billy.

"Yes boss, at this time Ardi is still a permit from his workplace for 5 days since he was last expelled from Cafe Cursom." Clearly Billy's subordinate regarding Ardi's current condition.

"It's been 3 days now, meaning we carry out the plan for 2 more days." Billy and hung up.

Meanwhile, Ardi also gets a phone call from her brother.

"Sir, today is your 17th birthday, you want to meet your brother and father right now, and for the cost you have transferred to your bank account." Cristina said by phone.

"Dec?, are you horrified?" Cristina's question surprised Ardi.

"Yes brother... I'll try to get there, but I don't promise you, brother."

"Anyways, you should come see your brother here, even if you come late at night we will definitely wait for your presence."

"Well if you insist, do I have to go back home?"

"Oiya, I forgot to tell you, my brother is already in Jakarta, so you just come to the Hotel Skunuraknuusna."

Hearing the statement from his brother, of course, Ardi was very surprised, who did not know that the hotel was a 6-star hotel that was very popular in Jakarta, Indonesia, and even to enter only certain people can enter.

"When did you get to her sister?, after all, it was an expensive hotel, where did you get that much money to rent a room in that hotel?" Ask Ardi who is still confused.

"Who said you rent a room here?, brother and father just want to see the condition of this hotel, so all of us meet here."

"And don't forget, you sent a red card to your house, so you just went straight to the top floor of the hotel and met us." Reciprocity.

Hearing this, again Ardi was surprised and Ardi immediately saw the available mailbox and opened it. How surprised he was when he saw that the card his brother meant was a VIP Red Card made only by special people.

"But kaka kak can kaka......"

—bip-beep,bip-bip—

The phone connection is cut off and Ardi still can't figure out what's really going on, Ardi decides to see firsthand what's going on and brings along the VIP Red Card his older brother just gave him.

Hotel Skunuraknuusna is about 10 KM from Ardi's house, and he will take the money first at the ATM that his brother just sent for his fare to go to the Hotel.

When Ardi had just seen the balance information on the ATM machine screen, it would be surprising that he saw a considerable amount of balance, the balance was around Rp.500.000.000,- , it was not small money for him and even for people out there, even though his brother knew that the distance of his house from the hotel was quite close and did not need to send a lot of money.

"It's really hard to believe, is there anyone who's been wrong on the transfer?" Inner Ardi with a little disbelief.

Ardi was even very sure that the money in his ATM was the money of the wrong person to transfer, and Ardi would not take it and leave it alone so that the Bank could take care of the mistake.

Ardi now only uses the rent he has not given to pay the rent for the house his brother gave him yesterday to so the cost goes to the hotel.

During the trip Ardi still thought about the Red Card given by his brother and also the ATM balance that entered his kerekening, he felt this was all just a bitter lie and only a dream that would not be delivered.
