Love Me Tender's

Not Theo's Son

Theo rushes out of the car, after Saka stops the vehicle right in front of his office lobby.

"Morning, sir", greet the security kindly.

"Morning.." replied Theo without looking at the security.

So did the receptionist. He stood up with a friendly smile at Theo. "Morning, Mr. Theo" he said.

"Morning.." Theo replied briefly, then he hurriedly walked towards the elevator door.

Ting.

The elevator door opened wide, Theo stepped into the elevator.

"Wait...!" the voice of a woman made Theo hold her finger on the elevator button.

A woman with an elegant look and wearing dark colored glasses stepped inside.

"Thank you sir", said the woman with a friendly smile to Theo.

"OK", Theo replied briefly. Then Theo asked what floor the woman next to him wanted to go to.

"It looks like we're going to the same floor, sir", he said with a smile.

"Owh, okay then", reply Theo with deheman. His eyes did not turn away from the door before him.

Ting.

The elevator doors are wide open. Theo came out after the woman beside him came out first.

Tak. Tak.

The sound of a woman's heels pounding in front of Theo made him feel disturbed. But because Theo did not know the woman walking in front of him, he ignored her.

"For Mr. Theo", greet Risa kindly.

The woman who was with Theo in the elevator heard the secretary's words.

"So this is Mr Theo?" ask her with wide eyes.

"Yes, Mom. This is Mr. Theo. Whose mother is this?"

"Oh, sorry I haven't introduced myself. I am Rafa Inlove", he said with a friendly smile.

Theo and Risa gasped with gazes at each other, as if they wanted to say something to each other. "Sorry Mother, if our welcome is less pleasing to Mother's heart."

"It's Okay. I was wrong for not introducing myself."

"Then, let's just go to my room, Mom", take Theo with us by leading the woman to her room.

"Please sit down."

"Sorry before, do you have a nickname or a real name? I can't call Mom Rafa."

"It's okay. You may call me by any name, as long as it is not my derogatory name.

"There's no way I'd dare to mock Mom.

"It was just like that, sir", he said casually. "I'm sure Mr. Theo is a good man" he continued.

Geck. Geck.

Risa raises her face from behind the door. Then he walked in with a tray of 2 cups of coffee.

"Please drink sir, Mom", said Risa politely, then she resigned from the presence of the two.

"There is 1 thing I want to make sure of. What's the profile picture on your account is your son?"

The woman was silent for a moment, then she opened her glasses. "Do we look very similar?" his question back that made Theo a little disappointed, because he thought that the woman in front of him right now was Indira.

"Don't look like Mom, maybe look like her dad."

"Wah, besides being good, it turns out Mr. Theo is also good at guessing. The boy did look like his father", the woman replied with a smile.

"I'm just guessing. Where does her father live, Mom?"

"His father lives in this city too", said the woman lazily. "I'm sorry I cut it for a second, sir. Aren't we going to talk about business?"

Theo grunted rudely. "I'm sorry if my discussion is distorted. I'm a little interested in the photos of my son. The kid in the profile picture was a lot like me when I was a kid."

The woman in front of Theo gasped to hear it. "The face of a person in this world can look like up to 6 or maybe even more, sir. But I'm lucky if my son looks like Mr. Theo."

"Thank you for saying it's a stroke of luck. But I'm interested in seeing the father's photo of the boy."

"Sorry before, sir. It seems we are not in line, it turns out that Mr. Theo is not interested in this cooperative relationship. Then I say goodbye", said the woman as she stood up from her seat.

"Wait a minute, Mom. I probably just asked about the kid. But that's not unreasonable."

The woman stopped her steps, then turned around. "Say the reason!"

"I thought the boy was my son. But when I look at Mom, I have little doubt that she's my son."

"Now Mr. Theo already knows that the child is not the son of the Father, so how?"

Theo seemed dissatisfied when he found out that the child was not his. "Then, we go back to the actual topic."

"good. Let's continue", said the woman casually.

Theo began talks on cooperation that would benefit both sides. Even the nominal that the woman will get exceeds the amount of profit obtained by Theo.

It has been almost 2 hours Theo explained, he finally ended his speech. "How, Ma?" asked Theo enthusiastically.

"I'm interested in the explanation Mr. Theo gave. Then let's work together" he said firmly.

Theo immediately asked Risa to bring a draft contract to the woman. After the draft contract was in the woman's hands, she read it carefully.

"OK, I agree", he said after finishing reading the contract.

"Please sign it if you agree."

"Good", he answered. But suddenly the woman's hand stopped when she was about to put her signature on a sheet of paper that read the name of the questioner. "Sorry, Sir. I can't do it here. Can I bring this file to my office to study today?"

Theo stared at the woman in his body. "Well, if you want it that way. Please bring the file I brought."

"Thank you, sir. Then I retreat" said the woman with a smile.

"Thank you back, Mom. Hope this cooperation goes well."

"Amin", said the woman. Then he stepped his feet to walk outside Theo's room after saying goodbye.

After the woman died, Theo leaned back his body and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally there is a hope to help the difficulties that are being faced by the company. But something still disturbed his mind.

"If the child is not Indira's child, then I am far from expecting to meet my son" he said.

Geck. Geck.

"Excuse me, sir", said Risa after opening the door.

"Yes, what's wrong?" theo asked a little annoyed that it had disturbed him was daydreaming.

"Sorry to interrupt, sir. I just want to say my opinion sir, it looks like the woman is not the owner of Rafa Inlove."

Theo gasped at the secretary's words. "Don't accuse me!"

"If Mr. Theo does not believe I will show a photo", challenge Risa while braining her mobile phone. "This is a photo of owner Rafa Inlove" the secretary said casually.

Netra Theo looked up at the photo of the woman holding a child. There was a happy face between the mother and the child. Theo smiled as he imagined the family.
