"I'll take the earliest flight to Jakarta. Straight to the office. We'll meet there."
"All right."
"Usahakan Ina came after I came. So Joon doesn't misunderstand anymore."
"Ina said, she might be coming after lunch, I sent Joon for a meeting outside this morning. To buy time."
"All right."
That's the plan of a couple. Avoiding unwanted things. Given Joon's relationship with his papa that is starting to improve.
But the reality is not like the original plan. Sofia's flight was fairly smooth, but she had trouble with the streets of the capital. He didn't take into account the traffic jams he would face at rush hour like this.
"Oh my God how is this?" sofia German. It can be expected that she will arrive at the husband's office after lunch. Given that it is now 11 more hours and there are no signs that this congestion will soon break down.
"That's why I don't like living in Jakarta. The jam was lo nahan," grumbled Sofia who was only answered with a smile by the taxi driver.
And again one of Sofia's faults, she refuses when the husband will send the driver to pick her up.
"Oh, no-can't screw up all my plans."
On the other hand, Mr. Lee was so surprised when Ina said she would come before lunch. Because he was forced to change his departure to Surabaya into the afternoon later. The princess who was suddenly sick made Ina advance the day of her departure. What should be next week is today.
Sofia began to breathe a sigh of relief when the taxi she was riding in began to run. The traffic jam can be overcome.20 minutes of time it takes to get to the husband's office.
And another one that adds to their chaotic plans. Joon's meeting went really well. Not even having lunch, they went back to the office.
Ina arrives at the lobby and is greeted by Jo's assistant who takes her up to the 35th floor.
Along with that Joon's car enters the lobby. Both of them went down and went straight to the elevator. The elevator opens and begins to take them up to the same floor as Ina and Jo's assistant.
And at the same time Sofia's mama taxi entered the office. Sofia panicked a little when the husband sent a message. Both will come before his arrival. You can imagine Sofia's panic.
"Waaa, there will be a hit scene hitting this father and son," Sofia muttered as she half-ran towards the elevator.
Fortunately the security guard and receptionist who was in the lobby knew Sofia as the mistress of the company owner. So they don't get in the way when Sofia half-runs, breaking through the lobby. Directly to the special elevator. Make them just throw one another a questioning look. Which is answered only with another shoulder. Not knowing what's going on.
You can imagine one has to go to the 35th floor, another has just entered the elevator and another one just wants to go to the elevator.
Ting, uh,
The elevator door opened, Jo's assistant immediately escorted Ina into Mr. Lee's room. They were still standing in front of Mr. Lee's room door, when the next elevator opened. Joon, who just arrived, seemed to squint to catch the shadow of someone he felt he knew when the elevator door opened.
"Boss, there's something left in the car. I went down again to pick it up" said Max, who Joon didn't seem to hear.
Joon is still focusing on the woman who is with Jo's assistant and starts to break into his papa room.
"Isn't she that woman. Brash what he's doing here," Joon muttered starting to get emotional. His feet began to step into his papa's study.
Meanwhile "oh my God, hurry up, please hurry up," Sofia prayed in the elevator.
Joon slowly opens the door to his papa's office. He deliberately made no sound when he entered. He just walked in and just stood at the door.
"You've finally come, Ina, how are you?" greet Mr. Lee while hugging Ina.
Joon who saw her gnashing his teeth held back his emotions.
"I'm good, very good. Thank you for everything, Mr. Lee. Sorry to have troubled you and Miss Sofia so much during this time," replied Ina who made Joon wrinkle his forehead.
"Why are they talking like strangers, aren't they cheating spouses? Then what is this? And again why it was as if Mama also knew this. Even Jo's assistant was there doing nothing," Joon's mind was confused.
But next, he heard them again speaking in a very familiar tone according to Joon. Makes Joon can no longer hold back his emotions.
"So this is what Papa did behind Mama?!!. Even Papa dared to take this woman to the office!" joon shouted with reddened eyes and face holding back the anger.
"Joon this is not what you imagined," master Lee was clearly shocked by the presence of his son. He thinks his son still has meetings with clients outside. Mr. Lee saw Jo's assistant and Jo's assistant just code "I don't know if the young master is back."
As for Ina, her face immediately turned pale. He knew, he had brought a lot of misunderstandings in this family. But he can't say anything, too shocked to see Joon's anger
"What a shameless Papa to the point of daring to bring this woman into the office!" joon shouted back.
"And you? Why did you just silence Papa when he brought this woman here?!" This time Jo's assistant gets sprayed by Joon. Mr. Lee scowled his temple plan which suddenly hurt.
Since no one answered, it made Joon even more angry.
"Does Papa not care about Mama's feelings?!" and a second later Joon has moved forward gripping the collar of the Papa shirt and preparing to hit his papa.
"Joon stop!!!" one voice can make Joon stop his action. Making everyone turn their heads at once made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Yeah, who else could control Joon's anger if it wasn't his own mother.
"Mama? What's Mama doing here?"
Sofia quickly broke the grip of the son from the collar of her husband.
"Are you all right, Mom?" Sofia asked anxiously towards the husband.
"It's okay, honey. I'm fine."
"And you, Lee Joon what have you done? You want to hit your Papa?" Her mother, if she had called Joon by his real name, it meant that he was already in acute-level rage mode.
"Ma, why is Mama still defending him? Obviously he took this woman, his mistress to the office! Mama was not angry and kept defending her!" Joon really doesn't understand this situation.
"Oh my God, my head is suddenly dizzy"
Sofia immediately sat herself down on a nearby sofa. It makes everyone panic again.
"Jo, bring us some tea"
"Good, sir"
As the assistant exits, she meets Max at the door.
"Young master is inside?"
"Yes, again make drama inside"
"Huh???" Max gawks not understanding the words of Jo's assistant. A little peek into Mr. Lee's study. I see everyone gathered. There was even Madame Ina as well.
"Family meeting or world war or a drama like Jo's assistant just said," Max's inner self
"Oh Ina, forgive my son. He's an outrageous one"
"What?!! Ma, Mama said what just now? Joon. Is Joon wrong to hit this woman?!! joon protested with reddened eyes holding back the anger.
"Joon lee!!! Apologize!!"
"No way!!" Joon refused immediately. It's good Joon said in his heart.
"Already Sofia, we all know I'm guilty of this too"
"Young Master Lee, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding I've caused so far"
"Wait a minute, misunderstanding what that means. Is there anything I didn't know all this time."
"Sit down Joon. We will explain everything to you" said Mr. Lee. Joon won't follow his papa's request.
"Do you remember Aunt Ina?" Sofia this time asked.
"Tante Ina?" Joon mutters. His memory drifted to a woman who used to visit his home a lot. Which she remembers as her mother's best friend.
"Tante Ina, Nindi's mother?" Joon suddenly remembered that Aunt Ina used to often bring his daughter if she came home.
"Dear, this is Aunt Ina Nindi's mother"
Joon rounded his eyes.
"What was his accusation to his father all this time wrong."
"Alright because everything is already here, so we better tell Joon the truth," this time Mr. Lee spoke.
And all the stories from 10 years ago flow. All told in full without any cover-up.
And as soon as the story was finished. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Including Jo and Max's assistant who turned out to have joined. I am interested in the Lee family drama.
"Pa, if Mike was my friend, he wasn't too young at the time" Joon's questions made Mr. Lee aware.
His son is right, Mike is Joon's little friend, so his age is not much different from Joon's. Was his conjecture all along right if Mike was just taken advantage of. The real culprit is someone else.
And eventually that afternoon tension turns into a family get-together and an impromptu lunch. Of course in this case the hassles are the two assistants of the father and son.
But this time both are no problem. The misunderstanding in his master's family was finally over.
"Thank God, this cold war is over" said Jo's assistant, who was taken by Max. Of course in this family conflict they both are often made dizzy seven roving.
"Ehhmm, there are people who want to apologize" Sofia said at their lunch. Sometimes he glanced at the son. I was still busy with my lunch.
"Yes!!"
"Ah, yes, yes Mama," Joon finally replied after getting a look of intimidation from his mother.
"That's right, Aunt Ina Joon would like to apologize. Joon has misunderstood Auntie," Joon said stammeringly. All his life he'd apologized to someone else.
"No problem Young Master, it is precisely me who should apologize for making your family messy. Forgive Aunt,"
"Joon also wants to thank you for saving Mama at that time" said Joon sincerely who again got a nod from Ina.
Finally lunch is over.
"I'm leaving Sofia. I thank you and thank you for everything all this time. Sorry if I've been bothering you guys a lot."
"It's okay" said Sofia, hugging her best friend. And they took turns shaking hands.
"No need to drive me. Solve your family problems first" whispered Ina as she hugged Sofia again.
"Ah of course. Greetings to Nindi and be careful on the journey. Take Nindi for a walk here if there's time."
"Of course."
After the departure of Ina who was among Jo's assistants, the atmosphere returned to silence.
"You don't want to apologize to your papa?" ask Sofia
"Okay!!" joon replied as he stood up leaving his papa's office.
"yeah! Yue! wait up! Apologize to your father first!" Sofia screams but the son ignores her.
"Your son really is."
"Yes my son, he is indeed my son. What was inside him was my duplicate. Ah but no, she was more careful than me" the two of them had already returned to sitting on the sofa talking warmly.
"You know his apology doesn't matter to me, as long as he wants to be by my side. As long as he's within my reach that's enough for me. Aaah, I'm really happy today, dear," said Mr. Lee with a warm smile towards his wife.
"I'm also Mas. After all this time we can get together again."
"So when are you going to come back here."
"Ah that, can not in the near future. I have to keep my promise to your son"
"What promise?"
"I did promise your son that if he wanted to enter the office I would move here but I also promised to move along with your son's girlfriend."
"Love? Joon has a girlfriend?"
"The boyfriend hasn't been Mas, because the girl still hasn't given an answer when Yue shot her back then."
"Do I know that girl?"
"Yes, she's Nina. Princess Pak Adi in front of the grandfather's house"
"Nina's? Is Karenina Princess?"
"Yue was planning to mutate it here. He works at the branch office now. Yue said, she was still looking for the right timing to move Nina."
Mr. Lee's mind had drifted somewhere. So that his wife's words were not heard too much. If joon wanted the girl to be here, wouldn't that endanger the girl. But if Joon already wants it it will be very difficult to prevent it.
"I'll see Yue for a moment."
"Ah, just leave him alone first. He's gonna need some alone time."
"Yes, too."
"You're setting up tonight?" asked Mr. Lee to tease his wife
"I'm home tomorrow afternoon."
"Yes!!! may I break my fast tonight. And don't expect me to let you go tonight" inner master Lee glanced at the wife who had entered his arms.
While Mr. Lee and Sofia miss each other, Joon in his room is still shocked by the truth he just got. I was so relieved when both of my parents were okay. But on the other hand he is also very shocked to find that the mastermind of the chaos of his family is Mike, his own best friend.
Joon and Mike are friends because their parents are also friends. Both are also the same age. Very familiar with both. But everything changes when Mike's parents are killed by an unknown person.
From that moment on, Mike changed. Mike, who is under the care of his uncle, even said that the board had killed his father and mother. An accusation that Lee Joon, of course, denies.
"What exactly happened to you Mike?" muttered Joon.
There's so much going on. One of his family's problems is over. Others are still waiting to be completed.
