Long River

Been a Long Time

"Oh, you know each other already." Chris smiled happily. "So next, this cooperation will be easier, right?"

"Papa, what kind of partnership is this?" Aska raised her voice a little so that Candi did not easily demean her.

Papa's? Temple astonishment. He's the owner's son(owner) of Famindo Group?

"Oh, he helped me find a new plastic manufacturer for our company's Frozenfood packaging."

"Why the old one?"

"For comparison only, but if the price is competitive and the product is good, why not?"

Aska glanced at Candi at a glance, lazy to look.

Why not look alike? Is he a stepson? "Oh, so he's Father's son?" ask Chris.

"Ah, yes. He's my son. I forgot to tell."

"But his face, sorry."

"Oh, yes. From my wife it's ...."

"Mc ...."

Aska frowned. He would at least like someone to ask his origin. Especially Candi.

"So, how's it going ...."

"Eh, what's the matter of cooperation, Pa?" Aska tried to cut the sentence of the temple that if lead to Leka.

"Let's see his brochure and his company profile."

"And?"

"Not know."

"Then, Mr. Candi got here. We'll tell you the next one." Aska pulled the temple to stand.

"But ...."

"Calm down, we'll tell you the results." Aska has started pushing Candi out.

"Wait!"

Candi and Aska looked over.

"The company invited us to attend the owner's birthday party and I'm asking you to represent the company." Chris offered his invitation to Aska.

"Pa, it doesn't matter."

"It just so happens that the owner is Papa's old friend."

Ah, crap! Aska had to take the invitation. "Ah, let Aska take him out Pa."

"Ah, yes, yes."

Aska pushed the temple out and closed the door.

"Why do you know my office?"

The temple raised one corner of his lips. "It's not me, your father. He's looking for me."

Aska still did not believe. It continues to control the temple until the elevator.

"You want to come down too?" tanya Candi wants to know.

"It's none of your business!" aska was upset.

"How is it .. ouch!"

Aska kicked the temple leg because suddenly Chris passed behind them.

"Oh, you guys still here? As if where are you going?" ask Chris astonished.

"Eh, go to Pa's canteen. Where are you going?"

"Oh toilet." Chris pointed to the toilet that was not far from the elevator. He entered it immediately.

The elevator opened and it happened to be empty.

"So how's Leka doing?" Candi still asks that.

For the sake of seeing the situation on her deserted right left, Aska pulled the Temple quickly into the elevator. "Why are you asking my wife so much, huh?" The words were heard before the elevator door closed.

Chris came out of the toilet. Leaning against the wall, he sighed.

So, why until now you still hide the status of your wife, your son, Papa still do not understand. Why did your wife call you a maid? That too Papa doesn't understand. It's been 2 years that Papa's been waiting for this and when you meet your wife again, Papa thinks you're going to tell her but it's not. Don't you love her? If not, divorce him. Papa will bear them both, do not even make him move to Arya's house. The man was also not stupid so soon would find out. What you're doing is gonna let the whole world know that Leka is your wife.

Papa has tried to lure you to quickly talk about the existence of your wife, with the existence of Monique and now the Temple, but even if with this you do not want to display Leka as your wife, Papa no longer knows what to do because you have to talk to Mamap yourself. Papa is not. Although gentle, your mother is a woman who is a defender of women's rights and if she knows her child is doing otherwise, you have really broken her heart.

If this doesn't work, how should I? Things like this sooner or later will certainly be found out as well as anything as great as hiding a carcass. Just ... I can't bear to see Reina's face.

The temple tidied his collar out of the elevator. He managed to convince Aska that his father was indeed interested in cooperation with the company offered by Candi. "I'll wait for you at the party." He looked at Aska before the elevator doors closed again. He was so happy. He had been waiting for a chance to meet Leka. Looks like the punch of Aska that was not effective at the temple. He was waiting for that opportunity to come again.

Aska stepped into the still quiet office cafeteria and sat beside a round table. His mind is completely fucked. If until Candi is true will cooperate with his company means the intensity of his arrival will be more frequent. Today he can cover up about Leka but what about the other day? He stared at the invitation in his hand that he tapped into the table.

Arya returned to her restaurant with a buni. He was surprised to see Kenzo and Leka who were already wearing apron were making something both in the kitchen. "What are you doing?" tanyanya.

"Oh, Leka wanted to try a fruit salad and it turned out that the fruit salad ran out. So I took the initiative to make it all for our stock." Kenzo was busy stirring the fruit salad in the large container while Leka tasted it.

"Mmh, good." Apparently Leka helped cut the fruit and Kenzo helped stir it. They were so happy to make that fruit salad together. "Runi wants to try?" The woman scooped and thrust it at her son.

"Eh, I can't." Kenzo took Leka's hand. "Runi should not eat yogurt because it is still too small. Let me just." He pulled the woman's hand to point the spoon at the man's mouth and he ate it.

Of course Leka was surprised, especially Arya who had seen the familiar scene of the two of them who looked happy when making a fruit salad. They forget that they have to keep their distance.

Kenzo realizes later as Leka and Arya look at him in wonder. He took off his hand immediately at Leka. "Eh, sorry ...."

If it's not her own child, Arya might be shaking her head, but she's trying to hold him back so Kenzo doesn't feel ashamed.

At lunchtime, Arya turns out not to be an awkward father taking care of a small child. The proof is that he and Runi can sit familiarly while feeding the little one at a small table near the kitchen. He himself was also busy chewing his lunch while Kenzo and Leka he let the two synergize to take care of the buyers who ate on the spot and who brought home the order.

Leka, although she is still new to restaurant sales but she is very deft. In recent times he has been able to imitate more efficiently. Even Kenzo who trained him was amazed by Leka's memory of people's orders so that almost never exchanged and wrong orders. As usual lunch hour, indeed Aryan restaurant is always full of queues either sitting or who takes home. Occasionally when necessary, Leka goes down to the kitchen to help with cooking. Employees feel very helped by the existence of Leka especially because one of the employees is on leave.

"Hello!"

Reina's arrival surprised Leka, as she was her mother-in-law. "Oh, I-I-I-Mother."

"How are you Leka? Just keep doing your job, don't be so nervous. I just wanted to make sure I could meet with Runi again. Somehow her face was making a scene" she said, smiling sweetly at the woman.

Leka tried to give her best smile to the mother-in-law as they might meet again in the future with a different story. The story may not be as sweet as the beginning but it will end how, he himself does not know. "Eh, I-Mommy wants to eat here?"

"Oh, yes. Usually is. I'm eating at Mr. Arya's table." Reina had already peered into the kitchen where Arya and Runi were eating.

Leka recorded Reina's order and let her in the kitchen. He saw the three of them immediately familiar, an incredible sight. It might also be because of Reina's grandmother Runi, Leka thought.

Around 2 o'clock, buyers start to dwindle. Leka and Kenzo started to take turns resting. Reina of course had returned to her flower shop.

Leka and Kenzo began to taste their lunch. They saw their tired faces.

"What do you think Leka?" ask Arya about the experience that Leka got.

"I've never seen a queue all this time."

"But Leka is great Well, it works fast. Orders have hardly been exchanged" Kenzo said honestly.

"Ah, Brother. Not so. I'm also trying, brother, concentrate." Even so, Leka's cheeks blushed red because Kenzo praised.

"Mmh .. You don't see how he sells. Selling alone, and selling is always in demand. Not yet the time is up" Arya told.

"Totally Well?" Ask Kenzo lugu. He took his drink and gulped it.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Ah, not so, sir. It just so happens to fit the same taste that bought." Leka low while continuing to chew her food?.

"Kok Daddy knows?"

"And dad tried to taste his sales, when he was selling on the side of the road. He makes sambel, good."

"Oh." Kenzo was hypnotized to hear his father's story.

"By the way, I'd like to develop some menus with different sauce, can you help?" Arya glanced at Leka.

"Hopefully you can sir." Leka finished her meal. "What do you want to make sambal?"

"Sambal what are you good at?"

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

Arya drove them home. "To this day, just an introduction first. Tomorrow you can work but it's up until 9pm unless the food runs out prematurely."

"Oh, yes sir, thank you." Leka lowered her head.

Arya's car then went across the house and entered her yard.

Kenzo and Leka while holding Runi up the stairs to enter their respective rooms in silence. They were so tired they could not speak.

Kenzo almost fell asleep, if there was no knock on the door. Leka entered with a water container.

"Leka, if you're tired, you can do it in a few hours."

"No, sister, later tonight."

"Leka, you look like Wonder Woman."

Hearing that, Leka laughed.
