"You don't have any boss looking at that photo even after 8 years." The call from the door managed to get Shaka's attention distracted.
Gavrila Xavier approached Shaka with some files. The 7-year-old deputy director above Shaka looked mature and so handsome. His father's friend and confidant.
"Oh, Uncle." Shaka say hello. Still with the rest of the smile on the lips.
"I know my niece is very pretty. You don't get tired of just seeing it in photos like that?" Gavi sits himself on the couch near Shaka's desk.
Shaka shook his head in response. "No-no. I met him yesterday."
"really?"
"Yes. She's so adorable. Uncle knows, she wears a Junior High uniform and introduces herself as a junior high school student!" Shaka said with a laugh. Gavi also heard me laughing.
"Wearing SMP uniforms? You're lying, aren't you? Holy jeez!"
"No, I'm not lying. Really am! Ah... Let's introduce me officially to Jean." Shaka whining like a child made the three-headed man smile. Shaka was still the same as 8 years ago when the man was still with a plain face and brownish colored hair. So carefree and looks without burden.
"You asked not to introduce him when he was not yet an adult. Afraid Jean's in love you said." Gavi's words make Shaka remember that Gavi used to show off the girl to him when she was a teenager.
Actually, no. Gavi had no intention of doing that. It only started when Shaka saw Jean's photo on Gavi's phone and ended up Jean's photo that Gavi made the collision so that Shaka was eager to learn business. Let's go back to the past to be clearer,
The Flashback
October 17th, 2014
"Shaka, this is Gavrila Xavier. He will guide you to manage the company. Be polite to her, son." Ivan, the father introduced Gavi to eighteen-year-old Shaka.
Shaka was a teenager. Just entered college majoring in business. Majors taken with compulsion because Shaka did not want to take that major at all. Repot said.
Shaka loves doing simple things like singing and painting. Not interested at all to continue to hone the brain by counting and thinking hard about business even though in reality he is more than capable with his smart brain.
Shaka just wants to live freely as he wants and achieve his goal of becoming a singer. Shaka seems to forget that destiny will not side according to his wishes. In any case, either, Shaka had to abandon his ideals because from birth destiny had outlined that in the future Shaka is the only heir to the Altair company because he is the only male successor to his family.
Shaka can only obey. Not to argue even if you want to. Because he thinks everything should be with the blessing of parents. Very naive and innocent. Be, the present Shaka even with his ogah-ogahan attitude.
Ivan thought it was time for Shaka to learn about business, so Ivan soon introduced Gavrila— Ivan's confidant to guide Shaka. Ivan didn't know what his youngest son wanted. It's just that Ivan can't do anything because if it's not Shaka, who else will take over his big company.
Actually, Shaka is not a dissident child. He's a kind, obedient, polite young man. Bad boys? No. gabe. Shaka is far from bad boy. It's just that his behavior sometimes likes childishness. Installment, and sometimes sulking. Like at the moment. Shaka was not angry. Just sulking and ending by ignoring the two men who are still standing in front of Shaka.
What Shaka is thinking about right now, tell him who his father introduced this man named Gavrila to when he was playing the game. It's not delicious. Again fun to attack the enemy, there is something disturbing. Ogah once took his eyes off the cell phone to see the man his father brought. He answered with a short deheman.
"Shaka, answer politely." Ivan commemorated.
"Just a minute, Dad. I'm attacking." Sahut Shaka excitedly while holding his phone firmly. It seems that he is in trouble attacking the enemy.
While Ivan smiled awkwardly at Gavi beside him. It's not good for his son's attitude.
"Geez!" Coinciding with his father who intruded on him, Shaka loses the game.
"Gosh, Dad! Okay, Good morning. I'm Arshaka. Nice to meet you." Shaka introduced himself by force. He looked down without a smile on his face.
"All right, Dad go first. Please bring yourself closer to each other. Shaka, remember don't be troublemaking!" ivan said before it passed. Shaka rested himself on the sofa indifferently. Focus his attention back on the phone screen.
Shaka frowned in surprise as there was no other movement on the side next to the sofa. He looked up, found Gavi still standing there.
"Mas Gavi just sat down. Don't be awkward with me." Shaka.
"But-"
"Just sit down." The orders of the son of the CEO of the company who will be the next CEO candidate where it may be denied his orders by Gavi. Finally Gavi sat awkwardly beside Shaka.
"How old are you?" ask Shaka.
"25."
"Ah, 7 years different apparently. I'm 18."
Gavi smiled faintly. Then the ringing of the cell phone made their awkward conversation cut off.
Gavi looked at Shaka as if asking for permission to pick up the phone and Shaka nodded.
Shaka quiet. Noticing Gavi receives the call until the call is over and Gavi puts his phone on the table.
Shaka saw that. Gavi mobile phone wallpapers.
A long haired girl smiled so sweetly.
As if looking at a treasure, Shaka snatched Gavi's phone without shame. "This is your son?"
"Wait a minute, I just wanna see." Shaka interrupts when Gavi thrusts his hand, asking for his phone back.
Shaka looked at the screen of Gavi's phone carefully. Until the phone was placed in front of his face.
"Well, Mas Gavi! Oh, my God, that's so pretty. What's name?"
"Jeannie Prismiranti. He's my nephew."
Shaka looked at Gavi with a sparkle. "really? How old is he?"
Gavi seemed to think, "Approximately 14 years."
Shaka nodded his head, "Well, four years different from me, yeah. Then introduce me to him, dong!"
Gavi opens his mouth, wanting to reply but Shaka cuts first. "No-no. Introduce me to him when I'm an adult. Instead, Mas Gavi should report to me if he has a lover."
"But Mr-"
"Come on... I promise to obey you. Studying hard so I can replace my father." Shaka really meant it.
Gavi was silent for a moment. Staring at Shaka who was still watching his phone. Ivan said, Shaka when told to learn about business is always lazy. Going to college is rare. In fact, sometimes Shaka just comes to campus and sleeps in the library.
Even though at High School, Shaka is a diligent child. Always get top.
Yang Gavi heard, Shaka's dream was to become a singer but failed because of the demands to become a successor to the company. From there, Gavi knew that this young man was showing his protest. Not accepting the situation, starting to rebel and sulk because his ideals can not reach. Gavi thought for a moment, maybe with this deal Shaka could guide him easily.
"really? You promise?" Gavi asked to make sure.
"Yes. I pledge. You can keep my promise."
Gavi took a peek watching Shaka's face in search of a lie. Nil. For a moment, Gavi seemed to be pondering whether his decision was right or not. Isn't Gavi just reporting if Jean has a lover to get Shaka excited? Yes, it was just that and finally he was confident in his decision. Relying on his nephew for the sake of Shaka despite the fact that his nephew knew nothing.
Forgive your uncle, Jean.
"You like it?"
"I fell in love even just by looking at it through your phone."
"He's not easy to approach."
"So from that, I'll try to keep myself steady."
"Then I'll make sure she doesn't date anyone."
Shaka turned his head, looking at Gavi with a sparkling look. "Really?"
Gavi nodded. "Yes." Yeah."
"Yes! Thanks, Uncle. We're friends now!"
"Uncle?" Gavi frowned upon hearing the call from Shaka change.
"Yes. Didn't Jean call you Uncle? From now on I will call you Uncle too." Shaka exclaimed excitedly.
Since then, Gavi has sometimes reported to Shaka how Jean is doing and the girl's status. Whether you have a lover or not. And their relationship became as familiar as a sister and sister. Gavi even sometimes did not hesitate to show off his nephew who became more beautiful with age until Jean grew up as he is today.
Gavi thought, after 1 or 2 years, Shaka would give up on Jean. However, Gavi was wrong. Even after 8 years, Shaka still likes Jean. Still often talk about Jean even though the man himself has often changed partners.
Gavi was suspicious because Shaka said he liked Jean but instead courted a girl here and there. He said, just want to find a dating experience if later in the future Shaka was with Jean, and finally Gavi understood.
Shaka just needs a comforter when he's tired. Shaka is a normal man. The desire to see sexy women is not something that is easy to fight. Most of the women surrendered themselves.
Of course Shaka with a good looking manly look with an athletic height, which woman will reject the charm of Shaka. Impressed cruel indeed, but that's Shaka. He was just an ordinary man stuck with a self-reinforcing desire for someone he loved.
And Gavi knows that Shaka is earnest for his love. Because Shaka always said, Shaka,
'I wasn't quite ready to meet Jean. Let me see it only from far away. Until I'm ready.'
Isn't Shaka so sweet?
Even when Shaka first dated, he asked Gavi for permission as if Gavi was Jean's father, and promised that during his relationship with other women, Shaka would not dare to mess around. Just looking for entertainers. Of course with Gavi monitoring in a long-range radius.
Know that before serving as deputy director, Gavi was Ivan's personal assistant who would report every behavior of his favorite son so that Shaka would not dare to mess around.
