Chris looked at Rojak. The skinny man, with his dark skin turned to Salwa. "Can I talk yet?"

Salwa scowled, as Chris continued to ask Rojak about their relationship.

"Jawab my question, don't look at Salwa." Chris looks serious.

"Oh, yes sir." Rojak tidied up his seat facing Chris. "We're just friends."

"Tuh, right. I said what, too," added Salwa who was in the middle of them.

"Keep, you're still dating Evan?" Chris turned to Salwa.

"Udah ain't Pa." Salwa's eyes began to dodge.

"Mmh .. Didn't you guys ever go out?" Chris propped up his chin with his right hand on the table, looking at the two.

They're scrambling to talk.

"Oh, not Pa, just a friend."

"We're friends but I proposed to her, sir."

Salwa rounded her eyes at Rojak, annoyed. He kicked Rojak's foot under the table.

"Oh, duh, duuh ...." Rojak stroked his leg which Salwa kicked.

Chris was attracted and folded his hands on the table and leaned forward. "Then what happened?"

"He rejected me sir."

"After that?"

"We never saw each other again because of their busy lives. I went to college and then I worked."

"Then, how can you meet again?"

"It just so happened to meet you at the hotel sir."

Salwa rounded her eyes but Rojak did not see her.

"The hotel? What are you doing at the hotel?"

"Eh, the meeting was right to go home Pa," cut Salwa who did not want the story of the incident to leak. He pulled his body forward to prevent Chris from asking Rojak again.

Chris tried to find Rojak's face. "What are you doing at the hotel?" He felt that something was hidden in Salwa.

"I went to the seminar sir, and went home to see Salwa." Rojak.

"And you're Salwa, aren't you going with Evan huh? Why go home with Rojak?"

Salwa was surprised, but Chris noticed. "Eh, that's Pa ... Uh ...."

"Evan asshole, huh?"

"Eh, uh ...." Salwa could not answer.

"Papa said, the instincts of the parents, right. Papa didn't like him at first."

"Yes Pa." Salwa.

"But, this morning, why are you still continuing?"

"What Pa?"

"Mmh?"

Chris leaned his body back on Rojak. "You two meet again."

"Eh, I invited Salwa to sports earlier."

"Mmh, so."

"Do you still like my daughter?"

"Sir ...!" Salwa was embarrassed to hear it.

"My feelings will never change sir." Answer Rojak honestly.

"Where do you work now?"

"Jelstar Company Sir, IT Manager."

" Oh, that's good company."

"Papa wants anything, Pa ...." Salwa was really embarrassed and stomped her feet because Chris still continued to interrogate Rojak.

"Sst." Chris placed his index finger in front of his mouth on Salwa then turned to Rojak. "Why don't you continue?"

"Mmd? Meanin?"

"You still like him and you proposed to him. Now you meet again. Why don't you continue?"

"Applying means Father?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I don't like to force people Sir. After all, you might not want to have a daughter-in-law like me, who has nothing to offer you to your daughter." Rojak answered as he was and tried to calm down.

"Rojak, you can't talk like that. I never discriminate Jak's friends" said Salwa lirih.

Chris put his hand in front of his mouth. "What if there's a prize?"

"Mmh, what do you mean?" Rojak surprised.

"If you manage to marry my daughter, I'll give you one company or capital, whatever. I'll grant it."

"What?"

"What, Papa, what's the talk?"

Both surprised.

"That's my offer .. but if you want?" Chris leaned back while looking at Rojak.

"So Mr ...?" Rojak's eyes were round in disbelief.

"Yes, if you want to .. otherwise it's okay." Chris pretended to look the other way.

Rojak moved his chair. "Well sir, my spirit sir. It's an offer, isn't it, sir?"

"I'm lying?"

Rojak looks happy. He stood up nervously and excitedly and greeted Chris. "Thank you sir, you've been given this opportunity. I'm not gonna waste it, sir." Promise to Chris.

Only Salwa looked at what was happening. He doesn't know what to do. Pleased or even upset.

"Sal, tomorrow I'll take you to the office?" Rojak's first offer slid from his mouth.

"Mc ...."

"Here, don't think. I will sit down on the bike tomorrow. Ok?" Rojak was a little nervous and looked back at Chris. "Thank you, sir, I'll take care of you." The man went straight to the motor. He can't control his nervousness but he looks happy. A moment later the man's motorbike slid down the road.

Salwa looks confused. "Papa ... Why do we talk so much to Rojak?" He tried to speak carefully to his father because he did not know what Chris meant by talking to the man.

"Why indeed?"

"He seems to believe the same Papa said. You didn't lie to him?"

"When did Papa ever lie?"

Chris looked at Salwa. "Parents always want the best for their children and Papa sees Rojak as a good child. The rest is .. up to you. Papa won't mix."

"If I don't match up with him, is it okay, Pa?"

"It's okay. Parents only seek, the rest you choose."

Salwa still looks confused.

The sound of someone's motor horn. It turns out that in the parking lot there is a new Tama coming with his motorcycle. They already know what's going to happen.

"Mr ...." She came and hugged Chris. "How are you doing Pa?"

"Good."

"Mmh, looks. The face of the man who ran out of money at his ATM."

"Kidn't you know?"

"What is really being cut for punishment?"

"Ih, Brother. You can be a fortune teller!"

"The crime of smoking and skipping class."

"Tok can be exactly the same."

"You want viralin's brother?" Salwa Ledek.

"Well don't dong brother!"

"Out .. make repeated mistakes. How not to poultice?"

Tama showed her clean white teeth.

"Yes, now ask how much?" Ask Chris slowly.

Tama raised her index finger upwards.

"OK."

"Ih, just first grade High School, the snacks are a lot!" Salwa Ledek.

"Let's ah!"

"Smoking less?" Sahut Chris while transferring the money through his cellphone. "If not, I don't love you anymore."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Ntar reportin Daddy, if you don't stop also smoking," threatened Salwa.

"Eh, not Brother. I'm lacking, promise."

"Tell?"

"Beneer Brother. Uda, huh? Just go back, Pa. Afraid to find Dad. Love you.(love you)." Tama hugs Chris, then Salwa. Then he went back to his bike.

"Heh, bad boy. If you run out of money, come here."

"Let it go, he's your brother too" said Chris, turning to Salwa.

"But it was unbeknownst to Om Arya. If Om Arya finds out, he'll be scolded."

"Yes, don't tell."

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

Someone knocked on the door. Arya opened. "Why Sri?"

"There's a guest sir."

"Who?"

"Sir Aska, sir."

Arya frowned. Come to my house? Only one day. Want to know about his wife or take his wife? Mmh ....

Arya came to her living room. "Eh, Aska. Want to play in my house too, right?"

"Ah, sorry Om. There's just free time."

"Yes, it's okay."

Arya then sat down beside Aska. "What's up? Do you need a new maid?"

"Oh, no. Because Om took a maid who had worked in my house, I just want to know if the work is satisfactory or not, because I do not feel good with Om. Maid is not becus even Om take. Though Om can take it from the agency, a more professional maid, unlike me who takes it by the side of the road out of pity."

I can't imagine what his wife would think of hearing this. He humbled his wife so much outside, as if she was worthless in his eyes, but I still don't understand, if indeed he doesn't care why he's still looking all the way here? What is Aska hiding from everyone? Why is he so afraid people know he's married? If he hated her so much, he could divorce Leka so she could marry Kenzo. Was he afraid, the woman spread to everyone that she had been married to Aska? Ehtahlah. I think it's really weird how he thinks. I don't understand his mind either. "Oh, it's okay. I just happen to need to be hired directly."

"really? But I don't see him." Aska's eyes searched.

"Oh, I hired him at Kenzo's house."

"What's? Ru-kenzo's house?"

Arya looked at the nervous and surprised Aska. Wh why? You jealous?

"Why in there?"

"Oh, Kenzo just finished surgery so he needs a nurse to take care of him. I hired Leka as a nurse, not a maid."

"Operation? What operation? Can I take a look at him?"

Arya smiled wryly. A fear or jealousy, but more like jealousy .... "Kenzo had his burn scar surgery so he needed a nurse."

"Lho isn't that a scar that's been around for a long time huh, why surgery again? Can I see him now?"

A huge interest in Kenzo, does he not believe Kenzo has been in surgery?

"Oh, can. Come with me."

They also crossed the road. Arya takes Aska up to the second floor and goes straight to Kenzo's room. The man was asleep due to the influence of drugs. Arya tidied up her son's blanket.

"I'm sorry I didn't bring anything in because I didn't know Kenzo had surgery." Aska could see Kenzo sleeping on his bed. He was almost in disbelief when Arya said Kenzo had been operated on because he thought Arya was trying to cover something up.

"Oh it's okay."

Aska's eyes are still looking for the whereabouts of his wife. "If Leka took care of him, where would he be? Why do sick people stay?"

Should he be as honest as he is, talking about his wife so that her disguise cannot be uncovered? Really low guy!

"He's in the next room. Because I have a small child, so I ask him to check every 3 hours. Kenzo took the medicine in those hours."

"Oh."

Leka who had just arrived from the lower floor with Runi, saw Kenzo's room door open. He's coming in soon. "Oh, Mr. Arya ...." He carried Runi.

"Father!"
