I'm taking you off, Mas!

Don't Expect

Syafa stopped his four-wheeled vehicle at a crossroads leading to his home. A sense of urgency squeezes in the heart. Want to spill the sadness that now controls the heart.

“This is what you want, Fa. This is what you want, right?” ask him to yourself. Then shed a cry that had been restrained earlier.

Alone there are no friends to share, no place to complain, no place to complain. The cry grew even more intense as Syafa only realized himself in solitude at this moment.

‘Take to the Creator, go to him ‘lah. Rest assured that He will not give a test limited to the ability of His servant.’

That's the word that's ringing in Syafa's ear. Prior to his departure, much of what Roni told Syafa included his resignation. The man who was closest to him from the beginning, he left Syafa. Not intentionally but Roni is more self-preserving. They are neither brothers nor relatives. Roni was just guarding the heart, when his heart was pressing to go back to accompany Syafa but his soul commemorates. They are not mahram.

“Pah, it turns out I'm not as strong as you. Who can get through life in solitude without a mama. I myself at this time, I do not know where to complain,” shrewd Syafa still with a self-attacking sobs.

Trying sincerely that is what Syafa is trying now. Nearly two hours had Syafa been in the car, trying to make peace with the situation. After feeling a little calm, Syafa resumed his journey towards home. That's where he went home.

Just got your foot off the car. The middle-aged woman who had always been loyal to accompany Syafa was already ready to wait for him. Bi Tum welcomes Syafa home.

“How is the trial, Non?” ask Bi Tum politely.

Syafa replied with a slick smile. “Aku and Mas Afkar are not husband and wife anymore, Bi,” shirih Syafa.

Bi Tum walked closer to Syafa and then pulled the body of the woman he already considered as his own grandson. “Propay yes, Non. Maybe your soul mate just got here. Bibi do’ going forward Non Syafa is always happy,” Bi Tum said in between his arms.

“Thank you, Bi,” reply Syafa.

Luckily for Syafa there is still Bi Tum who is always there for him.

In Switzerland, Erza is preparing to meet someone at a cafe. Erza was still patient with Andrea's request. The son of his business partner was a lot of revision requests on the work file that Erza was working on.

“You are sure everything has been fixed according to the wishes of the woman, Leon?” erza asked as the two were on their way to the cafe.

“Already, Sir. What Mr. Erza ordered I have also repaired. I balance with the wishes of Ms. Andrea,” replied Leon.

“Good then, if there are still many errors. I will revoke cooperation with the company,” Erza growled. Because several times while in Indonesia Andrea asked for repairs on some of the files that Erza showed him.

Arriving at the cafe looks a beautiful woman has been waiting for the arrival of Erza. The woman immediately stood up to welcome Erza who stepped closer to her.

“Good afternoon, Mr. Erza. How are you?” greet Andrea while extending her hand to Erza. Not forgetting the soft voice and sweet smile he gave to the man who became his target.

Erza also replied. “Good afternoon also Ms. Andrea,” replied Erza coldly without a smile then sat down without being invited by Andrea.

Erza quickly turned to Leon who was standing next to her. Only with a gaze alone Leon can interpret the orders of his boss. Leon immediately handed the file he brought to Erza.

“Please Sir!” said Leon.

Erza quickly opened the first page on the file she had just received. “I've revised everything to your liking. Please read well.” Erza handed over the files she brought in front of Andrea.

The woman in front of Erza pulled both corners of her lips when she noticed Erza's coldness. Erza's attitude is increasingly challenging according to him. Andrea immediately grabbed the file in front of her. Read slowly and carefully, every sheet available. Her lips developed a smile upon seeing the changes.

“If still not to your liking. Sorry I am withdrawing from this cooperation,” said Erza firmly. That made Andrea stop her movement. Then close the file he is reading.

“I haven't even finished reading it Mr. Erza. How can I know the working system you will do.” Andrea smiled sweetly at Erza. “You can wait a minute ‘kan?” pinta Andrea returned to her activities. Without caring about the cold gaze Erza gave her.

Erza's headband was given in response to Andrea's remarks. Erza is patiently waiting. He wanted to see what happened after the woman finished her reading.

“Good working system. I agree with everything that is written in this file. We can immediately continue this cooperation,” said Andrea with a sweet smile.

At the same time a man came and approached Erza. A smile developed even Erza gave to the man who had just arrived while standing up to greet him.

“It's not too late at all. You arrived on time, Mr. Renold,” Erza said as she reached out to shake hands with the man. “Please sit!”

“Thank you, Mr. Erza.” Renold sat down beside Erza. He smiled at the woman on his right side.

“Oh yes, introduce this Mother Andrea. Parties who will receive job services from our company.” Erza introduced Renold to Andrea.

“Renold,” said Renold as he extended his hand to Andrea.

“Andrea Wilson,” sahur Andrea.

“Pardon Ms. Andrea for your next cooperation you will be in direct contact with Renold the manager. So in the future you can contact him,” said Erza.

Andrea was surprised to hear that. “Why is that? Isn't this the responsibility of you Mr. Erza. Why stop him if you agree to it yourself.

“No, Ms. Andrea. You're wrong! All the work that will be done will be someone who manages it, not me. Did you clearly read what was in that file.” Erza pointed to the file that was in front of Andrea.

Erza immediately stood up and reached out to Renold. “Pak Renold, you can continue a casual chat with Ms. Andrea. I'm sure you must have mastered the work system that I usually do,” Erza told Renold.

“Yes, Mr. Erza. Even almost beyond my reasoning,” said Renold with a little laughter heard.

Erza turned to look at Andrea who looked annoyed at the impromptu changes Erza made. “Thank you for your cooperation Ms. Andrea. I hope you will be satisfied with the work system that will be done by our company,” Erza said triumphantly. He just broke Andrea's spirit.

Andrea's face looked red withstanding the upset. He can't do much. This is beyond his prediction. Not a single word came out of Andrea's lips.

Erza played in front of Renold and Andrea. His body turned around then stepped leaving the two people who were still in that one table. Erza's lips were attracted when she saw the reaction from Andrea.

‘I will never enter in your device, Andrea. I'm not a stupid man in this.’

Inner Erza while stepping her legs.

Erza who left him. Andrea clenched her hands holding back her annoyance.

‘I won't give up just like that Mr. Erza. Just look at it later! You'll I get.’

Andrea's inner being increasingly curious about Erza.

Leon, Erza's secretary was shocked by what her boss was doing. Leon really did not expect Erza to be able to think quickly in a short time. Usually it really keeps a distance when dealing with female clients.

“I did not expect the sudden decision of Mr. Erza,”, Leon said while driving the car. Both are on their way now. Leon was about to drive the boss home.

“I've understood the woman's gestures, Leon. Next time if our client is a young woman, you better take care of everything. You just need to give a report to me,” said Erza.

“Good, Sir. Eum, Are you not interested in Ms Andrea, Sir?” ask Leon. “I see she is very beautiful, still young again,” she continued.

Erza smiled in response. “For me only Ayara Faeqa the most beautiful woman. No one can shift or replace his position. I will try to always keep his heart,” Erza said making Leon speechless.

“You are right, Sir. I know Bu Yara well. Your wife is very nice. You're very lucky to get him. If I could I want one woman like Bu Yara,” Leon pinta.

Erza smiled happily at him. “Many women out there. But no one's the same as my wife, Leon. So don't expect to have a wife like my wife,” Erza replied with a sharp look at Leon from the rearview mirror in the car.

Leon scratched the nape of his neck that was not itchy. “Sorry! I'm just kidding, sir,” fighting Leon who's back focused on the wheel.
