The car carrying Pandu, Yuri and also Chia arrived at his courtyard. Pandu rushes down and opens the front passenger door for Yuri, because Chia had already woken up and was still being carried by Yuri.
Pandu embraces Yuri's shoulders and leads her to enter together into their home.
Simultaneously, a premium hatchback was seen stopping in front of the house and a woman came down from the rear passenger door.
"Sir Pandu! Yuri!" the woman's shout stopped Pandu and Yuri's steps. The two immediately turned their bodies and simultaneously turned their heads towards the woman who had now walked into their courtyard.
Yuri narrowed one eye, while Pandu frowned. The two could not recognize who the woman who was now stepping gracefully approached them.
"Miss Sisca!" The eyes of the guide were rounded when the woman was near them.
The woman who was none other than Sisca Martina Hardianto smiled broadly when Pandu was able to recognize her.
"Yes it's me. Don't you recognize me?" sisca asked with a smile looking at Pandu and Yuri alternately.
"Yes, geez, Non .. I'm really pangling, can't recognize you. Non Sisca's appearance was completely different now." Yuri clucked in admiration. He who was also able to recognize Sisca, immediately nyerocos just give praise.
All that is not wrong, the praise was very appropriate Yuri told Sisca. Almost six months they had never met, a major change was now seen in Sisca. The previously stocky and slightly geeky woman now looked very different.
His body was much slimmer and his facial skin also looked very glowing without any more acne. Thick glasses that are usually worn, now also no longer seen adorning his face. The brown soft lens is what has replaced it. Sisca's appearance that day, looks changed 180 degrees from before.
"Don't praise me, Yuri." Sisca shook her head and blushed in embarrassment. But he is really confident.
After the divorce with Hans and her ex-husband, Sisca was determined to improve her appearance. Various efforts he made to throw away his bad habits and start a healthy lifestyle. The super-tight diet is guided by the best nutrition experts, regular exercise and other expensive skin treatments he undergo regularly, so that in just a few months time, just a few months, he could easily change his appearance for much better.
"I'm not praising you, Miss. The reality is now that your appearance is very different, much more beautiful than before," flattered Yuri could not hide her admiration and Sisca still only smiled sweetly in response.
"Ahh, you're overreacting, Yuri. Actually you are now more beautiful and more motherly after marrying Mr. Pandu," replied Sisca did not want to lose, commending Yuri.
"Einem!" Pandu interjected with his dehem. "Are you two going to keep praising each other?" he said, stopping Sisca and his wife who continued to be busy praising each other.
"Oh yeah, I forgot." Yuri patted her forehead. "Let's go in, Miss Sisca," he bargained, inviting Sisca into his house.
"Please sit down and have a chat first. I'm taking Chia to the room." Pandu takes over Chia from Yuri's sling and gives Yuri and Sisca a chance to have a conversation together in the living room.
"Some time, Non Sisca. I made him a drink first" said Yuri offering drinks for his guests.
"Hmm .. don't bother, Yuri. I'll be here for a second. I just want to say something to you." Sisca rejected Yuri's offer in a subtle way.
"What's up, Non?" yuri asked curiously while sitting in the living room chair in front of Sisca.
"So like this, Yuri ... " Sisca started to look serious about what she was going to tell Yuri.
"Hah ... important department?" Yuri. "Don't joke, Non. Miss Sisca would know for myself that I am only an educated person. How can I possibly get a position in your leading company?" tampik Yuri did not want to take Sisca's invitation too seriously.
"The educational background is not very important, Yuri. I just need people who really want to work, diligently and honestly. I think it's all in you, Yuri. If the reason is education, my company always provides a lot of training and opportunities to expand business knowledge for all employees. While working, you can also follow all the training. Even if you want, the company can finance for you to go to college again until you get a college degree."
Sisca chatted, assuring her desire to invite Yuri back to work at one of Hardianto's companies.
"And in terms of salary, I can pay whatever you ask, Yuri," Sisca continued, emphasizing her hope to Yuri.
Yuri was instantly speechless to hear everything Sisca had said to her. In his heart, he was very tempted by the offer. Being able to work in an office, let alone get a very prestigious position, must be everyone's dream. However, at the same time he also remembered a piece of advice that Pandu had just told him about Tamara. All the things that her husband does not like about a wife, Indirectly Pandu told her.
"How, Yuri? Would you like to work again at my company?" Sisca repeated her question again, when she realized Yuri was only silent, not responding to her invitation.
Yuri sighed deeply and only smiled faintly in response to Sisca's question.
"Before, I said many thanks because Non Sisca dared to entrust such work to me. But ... I'm very sorry, for now I have not been able to accept the offer from Miss. I prefer to focus on taking care of my husband and the household" Yuri refused, revealing all the reasons.
Sisca snorted softly at Yuri's reply. However, there was a smile on his lips.
"It's very unfortunate, Yuri. You're wasting the opportunity I gave you" he said in a flat tone. There was a sense of disappointment that Sisca felt because Yuri rejected her offer. However, in her heart she greatly admired Yuri's willingness to devote herself entirely to her husband and family.
"If that's your excuse, I can't force you, Yuri. But I remind you, whenever you need the job again, you can come to me and I will gladly accept you," Sisca said, not wanting to force Yuri to comply.
****
The night was already late when Pandu and Yuri both laid their bodies on top of their quarrel. Not much noise was heard from the two. Sleeping in a tense position, the two of them just focused on staring at the ceiling of his room, and were busy with their respective thoughts.
After Sisca's arrival at her home that morning, Yuri was more moody herself. Although he has firmly rejected Sisca's offer, he really wants the job. Opportunity does not come twice. Although Sisca agreed to accept it whenever she changed her mind, it could not convince Yuri if she could get the same offer a second time later.
"What's wrong with you, honey? I noticed you mostly daydreaming today. Are you still thinking about Miss Sisca's offer this morning?" Realizing his wife's unusual attitude, Pandu turned around and faced his wife while trying to open their pillow talk conversation.
"The offer Miss Sisca made was very comforting, Mas. That's a rare opportunity. Not everyone can get such an offer," Yuri replied honestly.
"But how attractive the offer is, I still won't accept it. For me, you and our family are much more important. I won't sacrifice my responsibilities just to think of my own interests." Yuri connected her answer by giving an explanation.
"I'll never ban you from working again, honey. I'll never limit you to being a career woman. But, what I always emphasize is only one. I just don't want my wife to ignore family just for the sake of work. You know what I mean, don't you?"
"I understand, Mas. That's why I decided not to accept the offer. I've considered everything and I still choose to be a housewife. I want to dedicate my life fully to you, Chia and our future children."
Pandu's smile grew even more fluent hearing Yuri's sincere words. "Thank you very much, honey. You are truly the best woman for me. I'm very lucky to have a very beautiful and big-hearted wife like you" Pandu praised as he raised Yuri's head and carried her into his arms.
