Long River

Seeking you

"Eh, wallet!" Shouted Leka saw a man dressed in a checkered shirt run away after successfully retrieving his wallet which had been taken from the bag by way of a pencil. The people in the carriage were boisterous and looked towards the running man. A young man put his foot down intentionally making the man pass him and stumble. Many people began to judge him and the young man picked up the woman's purse and gave it to Leka.

"Thank you."

The young man just smiled. He saw a lot of Leka carrying luggage and holding a small child. "Where are you sitting, Mom?"

"I don't know." Leka was looking for a seat. The car was starting to fill up.

"At my place, ma'am, near my father."

"Mmh?"

"Here I bring you Ma." The young man picked up one of Leka's biggest bags. He took her to the chair where she sat. Leka. A man about 50 years old was sitting in the passenger seat for 2 people in front of him.

"Thank you Deck, sir."

The father nodded Leka's silent head and the woman sat opposite him who happened to be empty. He also sat Runi beside him.

"Mom's son." Ask the man.

"Yes," Leka answered briefly.

The man looked at Runi with a smile. "Beautiful."

Runi who felt unfamiliar, put her hand on Leka's arm. He rested his head on his mother's arm. Leka just smiled.

"Thank you, sir, for the chair."

"Together Mum."

There were still boisterous people who caught the thief of Leka's wallet before finally being taken out of the train carriage by the officers. Shortly, the train leaves.

The little boy who doesn't move much. Simply by looking at the window next to his mother, he was happy. He was quite embarrassed to be noticed by two people he did not know in front of him, so he leaned back and hugged his mother's arm. Though the boy did have a funny face that made people happy to pay attention to him.

"You're going to Mom's house?"

"Oh, no. I'm looking for my husband."

"Searching?" The father looked confused.

"Yes, my husband is in Jakarta, but I don't know his address."

"Keep how to find it? Why not just wait in the village."

"My father just died and people advised me to find my husband."

"Innalillahi wa innailaihi roji'un, but continue to plan how Mother?"

"See, maybe look for a contract."

"Mmh, do you want to contract next to my house, but in front of him there is a former place for sales people. Like a food stall. That's what I want to rent to people including the house because I own it."

"Oh, it just so happens sir. I also have food in the village. We also want to open in Jakarta. Oh Allah, thank God for seeing you."

The father smiled.

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

Ika turned off the phone. He looked at the handsome man in front of him. The tall and athletic man was the man Leka helped when drifting 2 years ago. "So how?" The man looks confused. He could see Ika couldn't reach him.

"Why did it come late? Poor Mas, Mbak Leka is alone. It's been a lot of glances at him, but pasahu is still married, they're retreating."

"I also just found out his father died from mbak." He tried to defend himself. He also heard something was bothering his wife.

"When you leave, leave the address, let's not be difficult. If so, I am confused too. The phone was not answered either. Did Mas just leave the address to me let me tell Leka's mom."

Waduh, I don't want him looking all the way to Papa's house because I just want to make sure first. I don't want people to know about my marriage. "Eh, I live in an employee dorm so I can't give it to you. It's just his phone number." Aska gave her phone number to Leka's brother.

"When he had time to sell early in the morning, but somehow he changed his mind and left in a hurry." Ika muttering.

Aska just listened and then said goodbye. He immediately drove his car to Jakarta.

So how's this? Why is it getting confusing! I hope that girl doesn't meet my family before meeting me first.

I suddenly remembered something. "Astagfirullah alazim, I forgot to tell him that he had a child. Does he know that?"

Meanwhile Leka had reached the rented house next to the house of the Father. At least he knew the father so he felt safe. He began to buy goods for his household needs escorted by Nizam, the father's son was on a motorcycle. Runi was carried with a sling because he did not know anyone.

"Where's Miss?"

"I don't know. Maybe by the time my wallet was stolen the pickpocket."

"So how?"

"Here, don't think about it. I don't have anyone to call either."

Leka then finished her shopping and went home with her groceries. He then dropped his groceries in front of the house as well as Runi, he thanked Nizam.

"It's okay, ma'am, it's the same."

Leka brought her groceries into the house and Runi followed her. The little girl waited for her mother to open the toy she had bought for her at the market.

"It's for you." Leka gave it to Runi's hand, but then pulled again. "Say what?"

"Chichen, Unda."

"Printer ...." The woman gave the child a baby doll from a cloth that was directly in the hug of the little boy. He rubbed the head of his heart.

There was a knock at the door. Leka immediately approached.

"This is Ma'am's big pot and frying pan." Back Nizam came carrying Leka's order.

"Thank you, I'll borrow it."

"What's wrong, ma'am, this is rarely used."

Nizam has passed. Leka immediately made preparations for the sale tomorrow. He washed the chicken and catfish that had been cut and made the seasoning. While making preparations, he glanced at Runi who was playing alone. The little girl also occasionally saw her mother. He was happy with his new toy.

"Oh, we haven't eaten yet, I deserve to be hungry." Then he washed his hands. He had bought rice wrap which he then took and ate both Runi. After that, he continued his work. In the afternoon he put his son to bed with a bottle of milk.

At a fancy restaurant in Milan, Italy, a slender-eyed bule man is having dinner with his business partner. He was so relaxed while his business friend was so enthusiastic about explaining his business to the man. His business friend wanted to join the very young bule man so that his business developed like the companies owned by the bule man.

The narrow-eyed man was famous as a cold-handed man who was able to raise the opinion of even a bankrupt company. His name was Kenzo Wiraguna. (Hijab Love Humming Reina 2).

Not many know who Kenzo really is. Based on rumors circulating outside, Kenzo is the person who bought the entire company Aratami's Group consisting of 2 giant companies in Tokyo and one large company in Milan. Kenji Aratami was the previous owner of the Italo-Japanese company which was one of the members of the Japanese Legislature during his lifetime, but due to his greed he and his wife were killed by the Yakuza but his son survived and was hidden in Mariko. The real Mariko is the woman who Kenji once kidnapped for falling in love with him to produce Tama. Because of the Kenzo and Tama brothers, Mariko saves Kenzo. Yes, Kenzo is actually Kenji Aratami's son. Because Mariko is married to Arya Wiraguna, her adoptive father changes Kenzo's last name to save Kenzo from people who want revenge for the crimes of his father, Kenji.

"Hey, I'm sorry I'm late.(Hey, I'm sorry I'm late.)" A beautiful woman in a yellow hijab with fair yellow skin came up to their table.

"That's ok Nena, we're waiting for you.(It's okay Nena, we're waiting for you.)"

Nena sat down on the chair next to Kenzo. They then started their business conversation.

Nena did not understand business because she was educated in law school and had become a lawyer in America, he said, but since Chris's adoptive father has been ill since his wife died and the effects of the accident, he began to take over his adoptive father's business. Far from America, he tried to learn from Kenzo how to do business. In addition to the business-smart and friendly Kenzo, Nena has been in love with Kenzo since first sight. Nena knows Kenzo is traumatized by her own father's crimes on many women and decides not to marry. Also the secret of the scars on his body that others should not see, but Nena still likes him.

The stranger finally stood up. They have yet to get a word of agreement but promised to see the possibility of the company working together. They shook hands before they separated.

"Do you understand, right?"

"City ..(.(.Yes ..)" Nena still looks worried.

"Not to think too much. The business is run with the heart but not the lust. Slowly you can feel its direction. Don't be afraid of failure because it's half the way to success."

"You're always the best." Nena pulled her glass forward in front of her.

"Not really. People are always the best in their field. Like you who have become a lawyer, of course, you already know what to do based on the situation you meet. You were my Indonesian teacher anyway?"

Nena laughing. "But now I'm your student." He looked at the handsome face of the man in front of him. Will he understand why he is always chasing her everywhere? "You don't blacken your hair anymore?"

"A little tired of having to blacken this hair again, but tomorrow I'll blacken it." Yes, Kenzo when blackening hair, more like Japanese than Europeans because of his narrow eyes. Kenzo who is getting older increasingly looks handsome and authoritative.

"When did you go back to Jakarta, did I come?"

"I still have a trip to France to see a business friend again, so maybe around next week."

"Yes .. a long time ago." Complain Nena. He wants to go back on the road with Kenzo.

"Yes, it's already the first."
