Just A Wedding

chapter 18

My joy did not last long, after Henry began a serious conversation with me.

"I still can't convince my mom. Last time, I told you that I had done something negative. My sister Dandy and Dion, forbade me to tell further stories for the good of my mother. I'm sorry, but I'm going to fight harder."

" I'm fine" I answered and then lowered my head.

Without feeling the tears that I had saved these few days flowed back through both corners of my eyelids.

" I'll leave tomorrow afternoon. Mama asked to be treated in Singapore. I don't know how long we've been there,"

" Is Merry's pain so bad ?"

" I don't know either. Actually, Ko Dandy had suggested to seek treatment here, but my mom refused,"

" Why ?"

" He reasoned Dr. Lee already understood his history of pain. Mama was Lee's doctor's patient before Ko Dandy became a doctor"

" Is it just you ?"

" I'm the same father who accompanied my mother. Ma'am Arin certainly knows both my brothers are office people it's hard for them to permit."

" Yes. "

" Mom don't worry about all the needs of Mbak Arin I have arranged in one month. For monthly supplies I have asked for help Missi food bazar manager one of the department stores that I usually supply. To eat I've contracted one of the caterers".

" Henry doesn't have to, I can cook by myself and it's more frugal."

" I don't want Ma'am Arin cooking. Ma'am Arin is tired. Ma'am Arin's job is only to maintain health. For other needs - another Ma'am Arin uses this only," Henry issued a platinum debit card belonging to a famous private bank from his wallet.

" Henry I don't sell myself and I don't want to sell. Please, that's enough you've given me."

" It's not comparable to what Ms. Arin took for me" Henry regretted looking at my face.

Not that I don't like money or hypocrites. It hurts my heart because of money problems like this. I don't want my pain to be more painful than my experience with Ravi. In the past, I let Ravi mas who always gave me money when we fought. My savings amount is now almost forty million for seven years with Ravi mas. Not the motor matic I was wearing. That number is pretty fantastic for me considering I'm not from the class. But now what happened, mas Ravi easily left me. Maybe mas Ravi felt he had compensated me in the form of material that he gave. I don't want Henry to have the same thoughts as Ravi mas thinks money can solve everything including one's feelings.

" Take back the ATM, I don't want to see it. My salary is enough to buy my needs. Can't you see ? I've been happy to use fifty thousand bags and shoes."

Henry just kept quiet, still did not take the debit card that was on the table by continuing to look at me sharply.

" I never bought mbak. It's part of the responsibility for what I did,"

" I can do it myself."

" If you can't with money. What are the other forms of compensation ? I still can't marry Arin. Wait till you're healed, I'll talk to you again, mama,"

I just smiled flatly at Henry's words. Mas Ravi, who has been lying for seven years, especially with Henry, who was just a few moments with me.

" I want to go home, I want to sleep."

" Feed the soup first ! "

" Find the ATM first !"

Henry's orders to me by code move both eyebrows. And I conditioned Henry to take out another ATM that's still on the table. Henry very calmly ate his favorite asparagus crab soup. This is not the first time we have been here. Every time there is an opportunity to go out, a visit to Henry's branch shop is always to Resto various soups. My stomach was already full of traditional snacks that I bought at the market last night, but again I could not resist the orders of Henry who could always control me with his very strong leadership nature.

" It's noon tomorrow before you leave, please make me saute the basil cob. The morning before work I'm transferring the materials,"

" Yes.." I answered briefly without looking at him.

.....................

" It was nice yesterday Ma'am could have lunch and dinner with the little boss. I.... There is no lunch Ma'am.." protested Dita so heard my story that I had lunch and dinner with Henry.

Stories like this are common for us. Henry was known to be loyal to employees when he came out.

" Will there be Shanti ?"

" No fun, mbak."

Shanti was actually a shop clerk at the reception department, who used to help us. When we have a lot of work or one of us has a permit.

" I'll rest soon enough."

" La permit again. Yesterday was not in, now permission again," Dita continued to protest.

" Ehhh mistaken miss yesterday I went in, just came out the same boss. If this is permission".

I'm sorry Dita, I lied there's a need to go to your house. Had Dita found out, Henry was already in my house. accompanying Jhoji who was in a heat illness and asked me to cook, would have been a newscast.

Dita looked back at me when there was a notification from the Wastapp message twice, followed by an SMS notification.

" Wiiiih rame is very much HP from whom ? "

Dita did not continue her words when there was a notification message Wastapp entered on her HP. Dita quickly saw. Meanwhile, I also thus saw my HP screen. From Ravi, I never backed up Ravi called me every day even though I never responded. Mas Ravi kept contacting me on the grounds that before he died, my mother had given him the mandate to take care of me. The second Watsapp message I opened from Mr. Satrio who greeted me later, telling me that he had filled the pulse at my number. In order to communicate smoothly with me, that's the reason.I looked at Dita.

" Oh Satrio? "

" Our,"

" Send the pulse ?"

" Em," I replied by keeping a look at my HP screen and reading the incoming SMS. There was a pulse notification going to my HP number of ten thousand rupiahs.

" How many ?" with his memo Dita walk and see my HP which still remains in my grasp.

" Ten thousand ? not wrong ? A hundred times mbak?"

Cook ten thousand ?" Babe Dita did not believe what she saw.

" Yes Dit, wrong seller of the pulse" I replied lightly

" check the pulse, Ma'am "suggest Dita to me.

I immediately checked the pulse in the application service True listed there addition is only ten thousand rupiah. Pulsaku itself the remaining two thousand, a total of only twelve thousand.

" The cook is only ten thousand ? " tanya Dita again astonished by rounding her eyes as if she did not believe.

" matre lu,"

" Eh not matre ya, just kepo. What try, a pulse of ten thousand if for us ? SD kid I asked Om Satrio huh ? Didn't he give just ten thousand ? spirit 45 Dita has typed a message in Wastapp but I prevented it.

" Not to be Dit. It's not good to be asked to be sent another pulse."

" It's not like Ma'am, he's a rich man. The shrimp pond business is large, not to mention gourami and lobster. Restonya also exist, more than one, large plantation land. Less what try ? Did it send a pulse of ten thousand ? "

I just shrugged my shoulders and sat back in my chair.

" It's Dit, you're the one who insists."

" It's not that if I'm ashamed."

" It's okay - what. That's your HP sound again,"

HP's voice was able to divert my and Dita's conversation. What's more, the one who called was Rian's girlfriend. Basic Dita, just the incident, has reached the news to Rian's ears. with his distinctive style Dita said that Mr. Satrio gave me a pulse of only ten thousand rupiah.
