LOVE STRATA 1

CS1 Mario's Worry

The routine of life continues. Azka-Meli is back in LDR. They were far away, but their hearts were so close. Same with Mario-Anjani. Since the management of shophouses was given to Anjani, time management has changed. Anjani balances time between college, taking care of the shophouse, and serving Mario.

For exactly one week Mario-Anjani stayed at Uncle Sam's house. The opportunity was used by Mario to familiarize himself with the Anjani family. Especially for one week Anjani's parents also stayed there, also to get to know his daughter-in-law. Ma no longer lives in the village. Now she helps her husband's business in the city.

"Your husband hasn't come home yet?" ask Ma.

"Yet, Ma. God willing in a moment. It was out of campus right away to see Mr. Daniel in his office," explained Anjani.

Ma seemed to remember. Mr. Daniel's name is so foreign to his ears.

"Whose brother Daniel is?" Ma doesn't know yet.

"Current chairman of the subsidiary, Ma. Mario and Mr. Daniel have recently exchanged ideas for the development of the company. So said Mario," explained Anjani.

A little nod was done Ma. He's starting to understand.

"Sir Daniel, handsome?" ask Ma again.

"Where does Anjani know, Ma. I've never met you before" I'm Anjani.

"Have not married yet?" Again, Ma asked.

"Said Mario already. Uh, this is why Ma asked Mr. Daniel anyway?" Anjani.

"Ma didn't mean kepo. If Mr. Daniel is married, it is safe. There's not gonna be a bad guy like Leon anymore. Really no?" Ma was enthusiastic this time.

"Oh because of that. Judekah. We're prepping. As soon as Mario comes, we leave. Everyone's going this afternoon?" ask Anjani.

"Of course, dong. Everyone wants to come to Besan's house." Ma confirmed.

This afternoon Mario-Anjani will begin to settle in one house with Mommy Monika and John. Inwardly, Anjani looked a little nervous. Even from yesterday Anjani had designed a chat for her in-laws.

***

Half-time at four in the afternoon. Anjani's family is ready. Just now Mario called will be home soon.

"By-by ready?" uncle Sam asked his wife.

"It has. It's in cardboard. Uh, Renal where is this not visible yet?" Sarah is looking for her son.

"It's here, Mom. Just finished murojaah," said Renal.

"Gee. My niece is diligent about her salary." Joko gave her thumbs up.

"Anjani, are you ready yet?" asked Ma a little scream.

"Yes, Ma. Just now is still a veil," Anjani's pretext.

Anjani was just in her room. Had corrected the hijab, but after that she linger to calm down because of nervousness. Starting tonight she'll be staying with her in-laws.

Shortly after, Mario arrived. The car was immediately turned in the direction so that the Anjani family could directly get into his car.

"Nothing left?" ask Mario to Anjani.

"God does not exist. Later if someone is left behind you stay anterin I come here. Let's go!" Anjani gets in the car after all her family members get in the car first.

***

Anjani's family sits in the living room accompanied by Mommy Monika. From earlier they admired the luxury of the house that will be occupied by Mario-Anjani.

"Where's dad, Mom?" ask Mario who just helped Anjani bring his things to the living room.

"Mommy's ghost is here first. Sit down with Mommy, will you, honey?" Mommy Monika does not answer Mario's question but instead has Anjani sit next to him.

A close hug was received by Anjani from Mommy Monika. Slowly the nervousness in Anjani's heart disappeared. He's getting comfortable.

"Mom, hug his son-in-law continued later dong. There is besan!" code Mario.

"Hehe, sorry. God willing, we will take care of Anjani with all our heart" said Mommy Monika.

Ma and Joko responded well. Same with Uncle Sam and Aunt Sarah. In fact, Renal prayed.

"Mom, where's dad?" Mario repeated the unanswered question earlier.

"Your father to Jakarta. There's a need there. Nengokin Alenna" said Ma.

"When did it leave? Tumben Mario not told?" Mario felt something strange.

"Just left this morning. Let's eat first. Mommy has prepared a lot of food to welcome besan." Mommy Monika takes Anjani's family to the dining room.

Anjani is in no hurry. She approached the husband who seemed to be thinking of something.

"My dear why upset?" ask Anjani while holding Mario's arm.

Mario smile. Not the answer given to Anjani's question, instead Mario asked back.

"Are you still nervous?" Mario doesn't fade his smile.

"Alhamdulillaah is no longer. I was the one who worried about it too much. I can see that Mommy has accepted me well." Anjani looked happy.

One kiss landed on Anjani's forehead. Mario can feel the happiness that Anjani feels.

"Let's eat first. They must have been waiting for us" asked Mario.

"Yes. Come on!"

Mario-Anjani joins the dining table. Harmony is so great there. Anjani's family is very confident that Anjani will be happy living with her husband and in-laws.

"Honey, Mr. Daniel will be visiting here soon. We want to bring wedding gifts for us. At that time he could not attend," said Mario after praying maghrib congregated with the workers in the house.

"Then you change your clothes immediately. I'll prepare first, yeah." Anjani saves her face, and immediately prepares Mario's clothes.

Anjani also changed clothes after preparing clothes for Mario. He also headed straight for the kitchen, helping the cook prepare a bit of dishes and drinks.

"There's a moment Mr. Daniel here, Mom." Anjani smiles. No more awkwardness.

"Sir Daniel's the one who replaced Leon, right? Okay-okay. Oya, Mommy wants to go out with friends. Look at Mommy's friend's son. Later Mommy will buy a martabak, and you must accompany Mommy to eat. Okay?" Mommy Monika enthusiastic.

Anjani nodded steadily. Of course Mommy Monika intends to be more familiar. Anjani also welcomed the intention.

Mr. Daniel arrived after Isya'. Just when Mario-Anjani was after congregating with other workers in the mansion.

"I'm sorry that time couldn't come to your wedding, Mario. Be aware. The shift in position made me have to adapt more, while taking care of some cooperation that had been neglected" said Daniel.

"Thank you, Mr. Daniel." Mario picks up the wedding gift Daniel gave him.

"Mario, change your greeting. I am not thirty years old yet, you know. So it's old to be called sir" Daniel asked.

"I've tried many times, but it's not polite. I'm still going to call Mr. Daniel" said Mario kindly.

"alright. Oya, do you know the latest news from your father?" ask Daniel suddenly.

Mario shakes. Let alone the latest news, the father went to Jakarta just this afternoon Mario knew.

"Actually there is one company in Jakarta there that will cooperate with our company. If I think this is a good opportunity, because their relationship is broad. Chances are our company is not only struggling in the field of shoes and raw materials, but also penetrated into other businesses." Daniel looked enthusiastic. That night's chat immediately discussed business.

Mario did not immediately respond to Daniel. His mind soared, connecting the departure of the father to Jakarta. Mario suspects that the relationship this time is so important that it requires his father to go there.

"Why do they actually glance at subsidiaries to be invited to work with? Wouldn't it be more profitable for them to work directly with their parent company in Jakarta?" Logic Mario start playing.

"Well that's him. Mr. John to Jakarta because apparently the company has long cooperated with the parent company." Daniel told me what he knew.

"It's just weird. Large companies like them will certainly aim for other large companies to work together. Moreover, the parent company has also been invited to cooperate," thought Mario.

Mario felt something strange. Actually, he was happy because there is a large company that will work with a subsidiary that is currently led by Daniel. However, Mario still felt something strange.

"May I know the name of their company's emissary?" ask Mario suddenly. He was preparing to straighten out his worries.

"Name Vero. Arvero Dewanggi's. Only son Johan Renaldi. Successful entrepreneurs are famous everywhere. The widower is rich, handsome and full of prestige." Mr. Daniel commends Vero's father.

Alenna works at the parent company. I'm sure Alenna would know about Vero. Inner Mario. (Look at new novel author if you want to know more about Vero 😉 ups)

Not yet Mario responded, Anjani first joined.

"alright. We'll talk about this again when Dad gets back. Introduce this to my wife. Her name is Anjani." Mario introduce.

Daniel was a little surprised to see Anjani. Initially Daniel thought Mario's wife would look open, sexy, and many other allegations.

I really don't understand Mario's taste. But Anjani is quite beautiful too, inner Daniel.

"Ehem!" dehem Mario finds Daniel watching his wife unnaturally.

"Oh. Hehe. Sorry-sorry. Nice to meet you, Miss." Daniel cupped his hands together in front of his chest following Anjani's movements.

"Together, Mr. Daniel. Please drink it." Anjani.

Daniel grabbed the cup and gulped down its contents while watching Anjani. Mario caught it. A little dislike, but Mario still let Daniel.

"Yes, Mr Daniel still occupies a boarding house or has found a suitable place?" mario's question made a diversion of the topic so that Daniel did not continue to pay attention to Anjani.

"Oh. I moved to a new complex. Mr. John's right hand is looking for. I ... live alone there," I'm Daniel.

"Why is that? Isn't Daniel married?" Mario is suddenly worried.

"So long since separated the bed. My wife cheated on me." Daniel looked grim.

Anjani becomes uneasy on her own with the new topic in the room. One code was given by Anjani so Mario could quickly create another topic.

"Oyeah, Honey. There's a wedding present for us. We also pray that Mr. Daniel can soon find a replacement for his wife." Mario shows his affection with his wife in front of Daniel. Se-nga-ja's chat.

Anjani smiles and then meng-aamiin-i.

The conversation afterwards was more about business. Anjani no longer even views Mario as a student who is studying. Mario's prowess and genius have made his business soul so mature. Until what is currently seen in front of Anjani's eyes is a husband who is so mature and authoritative.

Daniel talked for a long time. Until the hour hand is right at number nine, Daniel pampit home.

"Hufts. I don't like the way he looks at you" Mario complained as Daniel's car drove.

"When did Mr. Daniel look at me? I don't feel it, tuh!" Anjani really didn't feel.

"Heeem. You are not sensitive!" ledek Mario while pinching Anjani's nose squash.

"Hide. Judekah. I'll accompany Mommy to eat martabak first, yeah. You want to join too?" tawar Anjani's.

"No, deh. Must be the end of the story about sensitive women. I'm waiting for you in the room, yeah." Mario whispered, making Anjani instantly thump.

Anjani nodded shyly. Afterwards Anjani went to the family room, accompanied Mommy to eat martabak, watch TV, and tell stories to and fro. Unknowingly, it was already midnight. As soon as Anjani went to the room, he found Mario had fallen asleep.

"My dear must be tired" Anjani said as she fixed Mario's blanket.

When he was about to turn off the sleeping lights, Anjani's eyes caught a note stuck there.

From tomorrow I will limit the hours of watching TV in this house.

Your husband's.

"Ups," Anjani said as she glanced at Mario who was asleep.
