Junior CEO And Bodyguard May

Repatriation

Mother Mei who was sitting on one of the chairs on the outside table of the restaurant, looked around. The modern minimalist atmosphere feels once out. The place is also clean again shady. The air was not as hot as it was this afternoon making it comfortable to linger there.

"Mother, this is the drink." Mei brought me a tray with a glass of warm sweet tea. It's put on the table.

"You work here too?" The woman sipped her drink.

"No, Ma. I work in the office. Here, if you stop by, help." Mei sat beside him.

"Mmh, besides this she's got what else?"

Mei frowned. "Mother ...."

"You don't know, really? She is already ...."

"Mother ..The proposal was just to cover my work Ma'am. Because of Mom she's lying."

"Why because of Mom? Wasn't he the one who asked you to be his Bodyguard?"

"Yes, but if you don't agree, this isn't how it is." Mei is upset, her mother sounds like she is after Tama's treasure when she is only hired as a Bodyguard, nothing more.

"May, your father has scratched his car and a luxury car like that to fix it takes a lot of money. We can't afford it, May."

Mei sighed. At that time, they were in a difficult choice. Rejecting it means having to pay for car repairs, guaranteeing it puts Mei in a more complicated position. They had to lie to their sick father.

Indeed, his job as a Bodyguard helps the economy of his family today, especially because it can pay hospital fees, but what is feared is if his father is out of the hospital, because he was afraid that his job of being a Bodyguard was being dismantled and this would be a long and tiring matter.

Tama's car came and parked in front of the restaurant. The young man came down and came to their table. "Sorry, old."

"Oh, it's okay, son."

Tama took some money out of her wallet, and gave it to Mother Mei.

"Thank you, son. Sorry I asked again."

"Oh it's okay Mom. Oya, have you eaten? What you want to eat, just order." Tama offers.

"Mom has a message to take home."

"Oh, no papa. Please."

A waiter brought a package and placed it on the table. The waiter then left.

"Ok, is that all?"

"Eh, yes, son," replied Mei's mother timidly.

"Ok, can I take you, ma'am? It just so happens that we're going out, too."

"Oh, so. Then, I can."

The three of them then got back into Tama's car. The young man drove Mother Mei back to the hospital. Mei hugged her mother before she came out. He returned his mother's hand as the car left.

Mei and Tama were silent for a moment, but then Mei started.

"Where are you going, brother?"

"Mal. I'm tired of studying. I'm gonna wash my eyes for a second."

Then the car pulled over on the side of the road.

"What do you want?" ask Mei surprised. There was no place worth visiting in that place as they were parked on an empty expanse of land.

"You talk to you."

"Mmh?"

"Are you the same Tristan?"

What is this question? "Big brother why?"

"I'm serious Mei."

The young man's eyes also said the same thing. What's wrong with her?

"I can't be the same as him, brother. I'm still in school."

Tama looks at the girl's face deeply, making sure Mei doesn't lie to her.

"Become brother, why the hell?"

"Kok you can go out with Tristan, this morning?"

"Oh, that's a coincidence, brother. After dawn prayers, he called me, walked out. I said I was going for a jog, and he just wanted to go. Yes it is ...."

"Why not talk to me?"

"Ouch, Brother ... At school, I only had 2. Ida and Tristan. Yes, I'll do it if he doesn't leave. Anyway if I go with Brother, it feels nugas. The job, brother. Sorry, but not easy."

Tama's eyeballs move in the other direction. "That's it?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Even to the Mall?"

"Yes. I'll have to take care of Brother."

Yes, too, his words made sense, but did Tristan also think of them as such? Didn't Tristan bring him chocolate and roses yesterday? He will definitely not stop there, he will definitely try to approach Mei again, in various ways. Unfortunately Mei only has two friends anyway! If you get rid of Tristan, have pity too. He will have no friends. It's better to let Tristan befriend Mei, who is important to be vigilant.

"Well, if it's a holiday like this, do you feel like work?" Tama rests her back facing forward.

"Not the day but with whom."

Tama glanced at Mei. "Mmh, even though I want it if you rest again, you also rest the same as me." He leaned forward and hugged the steering wheel. "How is it?"

"Oh, that. Mmh ...." Just think for a second. "How about we take a look at the Zoo?"

"Plant Garden?"

"Yes. You've never been, have you? I haven't." either."

"Nor has he?"

"Let's go there. I'll check the address first." Tama's excited. He opened his phone.

Mei smiled happily.

The Zoo was a fun place for both of them. Besides they had never been there, they were amused on foot while looking at the various animals there. Many things they do there from feeding animals, seeing animal attractions such as birds and sea lions, and also taking pictures with favorite animals there. Mei and Tama really enjoyed their walks, even the girl looked amazed at the variety of animals she saw. Lastly they go to the souvenir shop to see the items sold there.

"May, what are you buying? T-shirts, dolls or something?"

"No need, sister. I've been invited here already seneng," replied Mei humbled. He kept remembering that he had not worked long but his parents had asked Tama for money. He tried to put himself in his place, knowing himself.

Look around at the stuff that exists. There is a keychain decoration that immediately attracts the heart because it is blue. It reminds me of his first meeting with Mei. I can't see his face clearly, Tama took whatever she could from the savior's body and it was Mei's keychain that she broke to find the girl back.

Tama approached the keychain decoration and found it was a miniature dolphin doll. He also added a mug glass with images of dolphins and dolls. He then paid it. "It's May, for you."

"Mmh?" Mei accepts. "What's this?"

"Dolphins. If at sea he said dolphins like to accompany the ship docked or away."

"Oh." Mei peeked at the contents. "What's his relationship with me?"

"Like your job, right?"

Mei smiled knot. "There's a big brother."

I love your smile Mei. I'm tired of being paid to see you smile all day. Keep smiling Mei, I will take you to places you like as long as you want to keep smiling at me.

"Let's eat before we go home. It's getting dark." Tama pulled the girl's hand out of the shop. "We eat in ... just there." He found a restaurant nearby and stepped there together.

---------+++-----------

Tama got out of the car after parking her in Kenzo's yard. He and Mei entered the house after the main door was opened.

"Hello Tama."

Tama flabbergasted. "Dad!" He hugged her tightly. "Dad why the hell make a home geger!"

Arya rubbed Tama's back slowly. He then realizes Mei's existence. "You must be Mei huh, Bodyguard Tama." He put his hand out.

Tama takes off her hug and lets Mei shake hands with Arya. The girl slightly lowered her head as she shook Arya's hand. The man scanned the girl's body from head to toe. First impression, simple girl.

"Dad again talking in the dining room. Let's go there."

"Yes, Dad."

"Oh, yes. You're Mei too."

"Eh, me?" Mei looks confused. He glanced at Tama who was also seen without explanation. "D-yes."

The two of them followed Arya stepping onto the dining table. Tama is a little riled up by what she will talk about considering her father involved Mei in the meeting. Surely Kenzo had told Arya about Mei but about what she told him, that's what she didn't know.

Surrounding the dining table are Kenzo, his wife and Runi, as well as Aiko and Mariko. Those who were busy chatting, immediately stopped and stared at Tama, Mei and Arya who came to visit the dining table. Mariko stood up to welcome Tama.

"Mama!"

They hugged.

"Mrs ...." Tama raised her head to look at her mother. His eyes had already puffed up and started to drip. "Mama, I don't think I can see Mama anymore." His issue.

Mariko smiled and rubbed her back.

Arya tapped Tama's shoulder. "Hey! What are you ashamed of? A lot of women here, you're even whiny. At best, ashamed of Mei's cake!"

"Dad!" Tama is upset that the happy moment with her mother was broken by Arya.

Everyone laughed, and Mei was no exception. He held his laughter by shutting his mouth.

They then sat around the table.

"I heard you took care of Grandpa's company after Om Hadi left?" Arya glanced at Tama who was sitting next to her.

Tama gulped her saliva and glanced at Kenzo who was just smiling at her. It must be that Brother Jo told me what's okay, right? Cold sweat ran down Tama's forehead. He knew a father who was like the Joker to him. Whatever was told to her, her answer could be beyond expectations. Can support or drop the interlocutor. That was what his children feared when he spoke seriously to him, but beyond that he was a loving father. "Eh, yeah, yeah."

"How do you run it?"

Fortunately Kenzo taught him this morning how to manage a company whose tips he would try to apply to his grandfather's company. Tips that are very useful also turned out to answer questions from his father. He tried to explain to his father briefly. Arya nodded listening to Tama's testimony.

"It looks like you're starting to take care of a company. Did Jo teach you?"

"Eh, yes." Dad must know this. Uh! "Of course, there is Kak Jo at home who helps me teach," Sweat Tama is still not over.

"Mc ... I don't want to take care of that company either. You better take care of your own company which fortunately still got your brother Jo checked."

"Yes Well, let Tama take care of the company. You can do it Well!" Tama started to feel relieved.

"But I disagree you take care of the company. Leave it alone, the school is important because this company needs the full attention of a professional leader in its field."
