"You want the Throne of the Group to sponsor Milla?" repeat Mr. Ruslan. The sole owner of the Group Throne was propping up his cheek with one hand he had stacked on the armrest.
Tyo nodded with certainty. While Mr. Agus again put his calm face when listening to the talk of the father and son. He wondered—more precisely hope—will there be a task for him in the conversation.
"But on what basis? Were Milla's parents unable to afford her college because of the fire?" Mr. Ruslan doesn't understand. He did find out from the wife who called him at lunchtime that the friend of his daughter-in-law had just been hit by a disaster. But neither he nor his wife knew Milla's condition in detail.
Because Tyo related to the Throne of the Group which incidentally the company of the father in this matter. Inevitably, Tyo must explain to the father about Milla's life in detail.
Although Tyo revealed almost everything he knew about the life of a girl named Millana Risty, Keira's husband still sorted his words carefully so as not to cause speculation that sparked criticism of Milla. Because for Tyo, negative opinions were the last thing the girl needed right now.
Mr. Ruslan and Mr. Agus were both fixated on hearing Tyo's explanation of Milla's life. They both—, especially Mr. Ruslan— did not think there was a young girl who had such a heavy way of life. Really miris—thought Mr. Ruslan. While Mr. Agus even became curious, what kind of figure of the girl named Milla they were talking about.
"But why would you suggest the Group Throne to be Milla's sponsor? Why don't you help her directly by giving her sponsorship from your company or from Keira's company?"
"Because Milla is a Tourism student, Dad. The knowledge he is studying today could be very useful for the future progress of the Group Throne. So it would be more appropriate if the Throne Group sponsored Milla's lecture. Calculate the investment." Tyo tried to convince the father with a persuasive word selection.
Mr. Ruslan seemed to think for a moment, then turned to look at Mr. Agus and asked, "What do you think, Gus?"
Mr. Agus blinked behind the frame of his glasses. However, it didn't take long for him to reply, "I think that's a good idea, sir! If I don't remember wrongly, the General Manager of one of our hotels also received a full sponsorship from the Group Throne during his lecture. And now, he has become one of our most competent and potential representatives" said Mr. Agus.
Mr. Ruslan mangut-mangut, felt recently reminded about the sponsorship project that had been given the Chair of the Group to one of the students majoring in Tourism at the beginning of the second decade of the establishment of the company.
"If indeed the girl has the potential, we can enter the point as one of the requirements into the Sponsorship Cooperation Contract later, sir. As a guarantee that he will dedicate his abilities to the Group Throne after his college term ends." added Pak Agus.
"Don't forget to put a period of time on those terms so that Milla doesn't feel like she continues to owe the Group Throne her entire life" Tyo suggested.
"I agree, because if the girl later
not feeling compatible with the work environment we provide, it will only be a time bomb for the Group Throne rather than generating benefits." Agus supported Tyo's suggestion.
Mr. Ruslan seemed to be nodding slowly in his place. Their discussion may sound light but in fact it cannot be said trivial because it concerns the future of a human being. However, the generous soul of Mr. Ruslan could not beat his prudence in making decisions.
"Okay, I promised help for Milla, but about sponsorship let Pak Agus check the background of the girl first. Only then can you give a valid decision on that" he said later. He turned to Mr. Agus and asked, "Gus, how long do you think you can investigate about Milla?"
"Depending on how many leads I can get, sir!" answer the assistant straightforwardly.
Mr. Ruslan turned to look at Tyo, "Then, how many clues can Milla give, Tyo?"
"It so happens that for that matter, I also want to ask Mr. Agus to help the restoration process of personal documents belonging to Milla who was burned. Although not entirely, but he can try to copy some important documents of his own" said Tyo.
"Including copyan birth certificate? You said he was an orphan?" Mr. Ruslan seemed hesitant.
"Said Milla, it is likely that the former Panti who once housed him had a copy of his birth certificate. So he meant to ask her to go there first, Dad!" tyo replied according to Milla's words earlier this afternoon.
"It just so happens, because it could even make my job easier, Mas Tyo! And better, I also drove Mbak Milla there, so I can all dig the info at the Orphanage" said Mr. Agus.
Tyo agrees. He nodded, promising to tell Milla tomorrow. In the end, for Tyo, the discussion that night went quite smoothly. He believes that the Group Throne will definitely provide full sponsorship to Milla. However, if not, Tyo still has many ways to help the poor girl.

Tomorrow, by noon ...
Tyo and Keira prepare to drive Milla to Keira's empty apartment. After this morning, at breakfast with the Pratama family, Mr. Ruslan invited Milla to stay at his house while waiting for a decision.
However, seeing the girl's very awkward reaction, Tyo gives her another option, which is that Milla can occupy Keira's unused apartment. Of course with the consent of Keira. "Yes, Mill! If you'd rather live alone in my apartment! From mubadzir!" said Keira then.
Keira added that she would be very happy if Milla could take care of her apartment. But of course, he would not mind if Milla would rather stay at the Pratama family home with them.
However, as Tyo had guessed, Milla who felt uncomfortable with all the luxuries in the Pratama family home, chose to hitch a ride while in Keira's apartment. After all, he also needs time alone to reflect on his life path in the future.
Fortunately today was Sunday, so they had all day to help Milla move out, including cleaning up the apartment. "Mother, Keira says Dwiargha yes. We'll do it before dinner and go home!" pamit Keira to her mother-in-law who was hugging Milla's waist.
"Yes, you calm down! Let Dwiargha's the mother!" reply Ny.Naina to the son-in-law. Afterwards he turned to the sweet girl beside him and hugged her tightly. "When you're bored in the apartment alone, you can often play in this house, Okay! And bring all the food you've prepared for you! Keep it well in the refrigerator so that later if hungry you stay angetin in the microwave!"
"Appahh???" ms. Naina's strangling looks funny. "Yes, you've left to let me call you "Kitchen Paradise" to send mircowave to your apartment. Share your apartment location via chat, Kei! Don't forget!" his orders to Keira were immediately greeted by nods and thumbs up by the son-in-law.
"Then excuse me, Miss Naina! Thank you so much for your help!" pamit Milla.
With teary eyes, Ms.Naina seemed to hug the girl once again. In his heart he murmured, *S*if Argha is alive I can marry Milla. Unfortunately the age of Argha is very short—batinnya.
Finally that afternoon... Milla, Keira, and Tyo together head to Keira's apartment to escort Milla to welcome her new normal life. However, Milla did not expect that there was already waiting for Said, Beth and Rizzi who also came to help.
"Weeittss. I'm sorry you guys." teased Keira when she saw her three best friends were on standby in the lobby of her apartment.
"Said is the most gercep. He was nongol here when I was with the new Rizzi nyampe." said Beth while throwing a glance at Said.
"Hmmm..he wants him!" added Rizzi with a smile.
"Have it done, let's go up! Afternoon rush if you're just here!" invite Said to ngeles.
Fortunately, it turned out that the apartment was not as dirty as Keira had imagined. With the six of them, the task of cleaning the day was not too tiring and took a long time. In fact, they still have more time to relax and eat snacks together.
Milla, Keira, and Beth shop together in the downstairs minimarket while the men wait inside Keira's apartment while waiting for the mivrowave that Ms.Naina promised to come. And sure enough, when the three women returned to the top, they had seen a box of responsibility placed in the middle of the kitchen table.
"Have the microwavens come, huh?" ask Keira enthusiastically.
Rizzi nodded, "Hooh, just now!"
"Wanted all dong, let Milla stay put!" said Beth.
"Okay, ready!" sahut Rizzi fast.
"Btw, how's your phone, Mill? Can it still be made?" keira asked while pouring drinks for all of them.
Milla smiled but her head shook. "Every night I tried to dry with a hairdryer but could not turn on. I was packed all night with an open casing who knows tomorrow it could turn on, but in fact it still did not turn on this morning I tried to turn on again. Maybe it's broken, Mother!" Milla looked resigned while shrugging her shoulders.
"Well, if you want to buy a new one, I'll anterin!" Said offered himself up. "But for a while you could use my old phone, I happen to have one that I haven't used since changing this one." Said picked up his latest, more powerful phone to use ngegame.
"If so, tomorrow you can bring all the right to campus, Id!" suggestion Keira who was already sitting by Tyo's side.
"Wait tomorrow if I can win it now! Let me take it first!" After saying so Said immediately stood up and just walked out of the door of Keira's apartment. Leaving his friends dumbfounded with his behavior.
However, they were even more shocked when Said returned not until five minutes later with a cellphone in his hand.
"Lho... Elo's out of flight, Id, why is it so late?" chirped Beth wonder.
"Let's say, people just take it in the next room!" answer Said lightly.
Suddenly everyone gathered there—except Said—delivered his eyes at the young man's words. "MEANING LO???" scream them together. However, only Milla who looked silent was fixated.
"Gue is now living in his apartment, Vynt. So I just took it next to the doang!" Said was still relaxed.
"Since when?" ask Beth.
Said chuckles and explains that he has been living in his best friend's apartment since Vynt comes home more often than to go back to the apartment, that's why Said replaced Vynt occupying his apartment with terms and conditions that apply between them.
"Well, you're not telling us?" keira protest felt cheated.
"That's not it yet?" Said scratching his head.
"BELLUM!!!" squeak Keira and Beth in a compact manner.
"Ooh, yeah sorry!" reply Said again just chuckled.
