A few days have passed quickly. Yesterday, was the day Selena received her first salary after working as Ziban's secretary in the office. Being a secretary who fits in Ziban's heart, is not an easy thing. But Selena was able to reach him quickly. It was only fitting that Secretary Chan would praise him several times. Although Selena knew, that Ziban indeed never praised him though, but actually he knew better, that Ziban was satisfied with his work.
Selena looked at her own face for a moment in the mirror with a smile. Then his eyes slightly moved staring almost completely at the mirror. There was something else that made him smile again. The reflection of countless photos stuck to every inch of the wall of his room. He just turned his body. Intend to see the photos on display to be seen clearly.
He began to approach the wall of his room. Holding one of the color photos he can achieve.
"Selena."
The one called was surprised. He did not hear the door open. His mother came in and called his name.
And Selena's response to her mother was to smile. His mother approached Selena. He stroked his daughter's hair. Selena looked at her mother. The eyes of his mother. His forehead, which already looked slightly wrinkled. Her mother's hair was once black and Selena admired it very much. Now there were several strands of white hair adorning his head.
His gaze dropped slightly to his mother's neck. Then smile. Look at the scarf that's coiled around his mother's neck.
"Ehem, I want to show you the scarf my late father gave me."
Selena mocked her own mother. And his mother also slightly chuckled with her daughter who mocked herself. But he immediately shrank his laughter.
"Today is the anniversary one year after the death of your late father, Selena."
"Truly ma'am. Selena remembers very much. It doesn't feel like Mom, I've been leaving us for a year."
Selena knew how much Dad meant to her. And especially for her mother. And Selena knew her mother loved her father so much. Being abandoned by a loved one is not easy. It takes patience and sincerity that accompanies.
And of course, it takes a supporting figure to dare to continue his life again. Selena will be next to her mother. Both give more affection than before.
"Mom, thank you ma'am."
His mother scrunched her forehead. Until it further clarifies the wrinkles on his forehead. Selena hugged her mother.
"Thank you, because mom and dad used to really educate Selena well."
"May what you say be true."
His mother returned Selena's embrace.
"And one more, ma'am."
"What's wrong?"
"Thank you, because you're moving to this town."
His mother let go of his embrace. Then she pulled her daughter's hair back. Implying her happy self if living anywhere. As long as his daughter.
"Mom knows? Selena's job right now is good, because Selena's education is also good, ma'am. And that's all, because of mom and dad."
"This is all, because the mother's daughter and the late father are very talented."
Hearing her mother's reply, Selena blushed in embarrassment. Lately, a lot of mouths are talking about it just like his mother. Again and again, and on and on.
"Ah yes. And my mother forgot. The reason you moved here, it wasn't for a job. But, more precisely for the reason your lover is not."
Selena's mother glanced at the photos attached to the wall. Once again, Selena was embarrassed. Get a reply from his mother. Replies to the ledge addressed to him.
"Listening from all your stories, your lover is perfect according to mother."
Just one, ma'am. There is only one flaw that he is currently lacking. Just one.
"Eh, don't worry about you being her boyfriend, so you're just at work, huh?"
"No mom. Selena's a professional."
Selena's mother nodded.
"So, when did your girlfriend propose to you? You are both adults. I'm afraid, unwanted things will happen."
"This mother is not very patient."
Selena said as she walked away from her mother. He took his phone. Read the message ten minutes ago. He smiled as he read it. He clenched his right hand and pushed it down.
"What's up, Selena? Why do you look so happy?"
"Selena there's an important job, ma'am."
Selena said, hurrying to get ready.
"It's Sunday."
"Yes, right, ma'am. But there was an important job suddenly. And if completed quickly, it will certainly reduce the burden of the mind, right mom?"
Selena took her step to face her mother and smiled. And her mother, too, felt that the answer from her daughter was clarity. So, he doesn't have to ask anymore. Seeing that her daughter was rushing to get ready in spirit, Selena's mother just shook her head. He decided to get out of that room. And let her daughter get ready without her in that room.
......................
"Sir, anyway, later the results are according to this design design, yes?"
Andin showed the design of the toilet to the building workers he deliberately invited, to renovate one of the toilets. Toilet in one of the guest rooms. That was prepared for Grandma Jeje.
"Well, ready." (the answer is short)
Andin smiled and left the construction worker. He's headed to his room. After asking Ziban for permission, he would meet the construction worker directly. And successfully permitted by Ziban, on condition of effect. "Don't take it long." Said earlier.
Andin opened the door of his room slowly. Ziban glanced at him.
"Have you finished meeting the construction workers?"
Andin had no intention of answering Ziban's question. Andin had already come to the room, so Ziban should have known. Andin dropped his body carelessly on his bed.
Ziban placed his cellphone, which he had been holding, onto a table near the bed. He sat staring at the annoyed Andin who did not feel guilty though.
"You must have deliberately lingered in meeting the construction worker, right?"
"You must want to show her that you are beautiful and very wise. So, everyone says that I'm lucky to get you."
Ziban's words this time, managed to make Andin feel disappointed in him. He knew Ziban was just showing him how to be jealous. But, this is overkill. Yeah, this is overkill.
Andin got up from his bed. Walked to the window of his room. A sour face look was clearly visible on his face.
"It should have been a long time ago, I know. That you're always overreacting."
His flat speech still brought up Ziban and stared out the window. Ziban scrambled his hair slowly. Feeling that he is overreacting in speaking.
"Darling, I didn't seriously say it."
Feeling no response from his wife, Ziban began to approach him.
"Darling, I'm sorry about your husband, okay?"
Ziban wrapped both hands around Andin's waist. Andin brushed it off violently. Suddenly the door of the room was knocked.
"Who?"
Ziban raised his voice. Without even turning his eyes to the door. And of course, without allowing anyone to knock on that door, go inside.
"This is Si Mbok, young master. Up ahead, there's your secretary named Ms. Selena. And he said, there's a very important thing, which must be discussed with you, young master."
"Secretary Chan is in front too?"
"No, young master."
Ziban frowned for a moment. Selena never came up with an important affair without Secretary Chan.
It's a holiday for him. What important things will he talk about?
"My wife, baby, just a second. I'm going to see Selena."
SERIATE...
