Love, Treasure And Erlita
Chapter 30
As the new leader of her company, Erlita does not want to be intimidated by the bureaucratic and meritocratic walls built by her uncle, Bram. He began to study the intricacies of his company carefully and carefully.
Erlita chose the room her grandmother left as her private room in the office. The room is still well maintained and neatly arranged. He knew his grandmother was a perfectionist. He will not let any documents arranged in the order.
Erlita observed a large family photo hanging on the wall and a picture of her with her grandmother while celebrating Erlita's tenth birthday on the table.
He felt that the room was very quiet and made him miss his grandmother who really liked the minimalist concept room but elegant like the workroom. Erlita suddenly remembered Kenny, her cousin's brother who, despite being a bit slow but had an extraordinary painting talent.

That morning, Erlita sees Kenny painting a butterfly perched on a flower in the front garden of their house. Erlita approached and greeted him.
“Kak, come with me yuk.”
“Where?” kenny asked without turning away from his canvas in the slightest.
“Search girls.” Erlita replies to tease Kenny who despite being in his thirties but has never dated.
“Emang lo dah don't like men huh, Ta? Emang Nafan and apain lo sampe lo so like girls?”
“Yes my sister, I mean girl make lo. Yakali I doyan ma chick. Yes, ogah.”
Kenny shook his head, “Udah deh, Ta. Don't follow the rich others using mo sok-sokan fool me.”
“Emang lo really do not want marriage? Rich me.”
This time Kenny turned to Erlita, “Yang already split rich lo mean?”
Damnit damnit! Kenny's right. He should not take his failed marriage as an example.
“I mean I used to fit I was still married.”
Kenny nodded.
“Yes, come with me to the office. I want to ask you to help lo.”
“Ask what please?”
“Please make me some paintings. But I have to explain the concept there. Kan we also need to discuss the price and payment system”
And it looks like Kenny is interested in Erlita's offer.

“First, I want you to paint this large photo, make me paste there.” Erlita shows her picture with her grandmother as a child.
“So I want you to make me an abstract painting, this big one, make me taroh over there. Keep last one favorite classic painting eye-to-eye for here.”
Kenny noted the important points Erlita conveyed because she did not want to miss something due to her very limited memory.
“Kak, you really don't want to help me work here.”
“But I don't trust everyone, Brother. I know that you paint songs and you can also really keep your mouth. Not another rich bucket.”
Erlita expressed her opinion honestly because among everyone in her house, only Kenny was the one who Erlita thought could best keep a secret. Therefore, when he was a child, Jihan and Johan often confided and complained to him.
And believe it or not, until now none of their curses have been leaked. Either because Kenny can be trusted or precisely because Kenny's memory is very limited so immediately forget what his cousin's brother had to say.
Soon, Rania, a new accountant at the company, enters to serve drinks. Kenny was stunned to see the beauty and innocence that emanated from the face of the girl before him.
For the first time he re-liked a girl after previously he liked Karin who was then rejected outright before being able to express his feelings.
“Ta, if I work here, you will put me in what part?”
“Product design.”
“What?!” kenny did not expect his cousin's sister would offer such an important and attractive position. He thought he would be put in the security or courier because he was not smart enough and had no experience. He can and does love to draw and paint. That'sthat's all.
“Why, brother? You don't like it, huh? If so you choose it yourself, you want where.”
Kenny quickly shook his head, “Ngga Ta, I like. Very fond. You don't need my salary. I'm happy enough that my work is appreciated, used and useful for others.”
Erlita laughs, “Kak, you are here for real work not social work. So I definitely keep your salary kok.”
“So when can I start working?”
“Monday yes brother?”
“Deal.”

Sania really does not believe that Erlita can convince Kenny to want to work in his company. All this time he had been trying all means so that his only son had other activities besides drawing and painting, but he always refused.
Sania just wants to get recognition from her mother that she can also be a good mother to Kenny and that Kenny can also be the oldest grandson that can be relied upon. But he always fails.
Seeing that his son was able to open up, he, he began to consider whether he also needed to work at Erlita's company in order to always take care of Kenny and prepare lunch and banana milk for his only son. He then contacted Erlita's phone.
***
That day was Kenny's first day working for Erlita's company. Knowing that her cousin's sister was difficult to adapt and socialize, Erlita deliberately gave her a separate work desk with the other product design team. It just so happens that Kenny's desk isn't near the table of Rania, the girl he's been since he first met in Erlita's room.
Kenny became more and more excited to complete the product design that Erlita wanted. And it turns out Erlita is very satisfied with the work of Kenny. He then offered his new product design to their clients and customers. Erlita successfully received a lot of attention and cooperation offers to make new furniture products that are very typical of Susbihardayan Group.
As Erlita gets busier and busier to deal with things, Kenny gets closer to Rania. He did not even hesitate to pick up and buy Rania a lot of luxury goods from his own salary.
Rania, who is none other than the eldest daughter of Bintoro, a former confidant of Kenny's grandmother who ends up unjustly imprisoned by Bramantyo, tries to avoid Kenny for fear that his identity will be revealed. He did not want to be evicted from the company before he managed to uncover the truth behind the corruption and money laundering cases alleged to his father.
In addition, he has an important mission from Nafan. So he did not want his personal problems to make him miss an opportunity.
