Another month passed, Wulan's life seemed to shine even more. He did all the office work very well. It can even surpass production beyond sales targets. The demand for raw materials on his grandfather's estate continued to grow and factory profits increased by almost two hundred percent. Wulan has set the highest sales record in five years.
Behind that, of course, he also had to sacrifice a third of his time to be in the office. He could only spend time with his grandfather on Sundays. On that day he will meet Arkan and Aunt Jenny just a family gathering.
Like a few weeks ago, Wulan first arrived at Arkan's house after buying some barbeque supplies.
Fish, Chicken and a few kilos of beef from Aunt Jenny's subscription. He did this because he did not want to trouble Arkan anymore, according to Wulan knowledge Arkan's work is much more solid and main compared to his factory work which is only a child of the parent company Vienna Graha. And it is only natural that the one who goes to the market is a woman, not a stiff man like Arkan who can only obey every wish of his mother.
At that time Wulan was cleaning fish while occasionally staring out of the backyard where the grandfather was grafting plants, Arkan suddenly appeared from behind.
“Ehm,” dehem Arkan who had been staring at Wulan from behind.
“Eh mas Arkan just came?” ask Wulan origin.
“Udah about 10 minutes, staring at a dreamy woman while cleaning fish,” replied Arkan.
“Why is there a new mas sound?” ask Wulan again.
“Involuntarily,” Arkan replied.
Wulan glanced at the man who was now standing beside her. Without thinking the implied intent of Arkan's words.
“Mas,” call Wulan.
“Hmm,” answer is short because it is busy on the screen hp.
“Mas Brian how are you?” ask Wulan.
Arkan instantly shifted his focus from his phone to Wulan's face. “Why not ask yourself the same person?” answer Arkan.
“I don't dare,” replied Wulan briefly.
“Ya than you are curious.”
“It's been almost two months Wulan never met Brian. Several times he went home but I knew our room was different. Mas Brian came home just to sleep and change clothes, Wulan also did not dare to samperin him in his room.”
“Good,” response Arkan.
“What's good mas,” ask Wulan.
“So now you finally miss your husband?” Arkan asked back.
“Entah mas, it seems like this is not a feeling of longing, but more like wanting to know what he did ,” replied Wulan flatly.
“Good be.”
Wulan looked seriously at the man standing beside her. “What's good? The response from earlier was like that,” said Wulan.
“Good because..” Arkan thought for a moment. “ga good if you miss Brian mas while Brian mas never considered yourself there, are you not the one who lost?” arkan said to divert his heart.
Wulan pensively looked back out the window.
“Sini here let me help,” said arkan who began to take over the things wulan did. “Wait for you to realize the fish hunted back to the sea.”
“But Brian routinely comes to see grandfather, even if only once a week but he still took the time to visit grandfather. But against me he doesn't care.”.
“Not good? the grandfather you've always been worried about. You don't want Grandpa to know about your household problems, do you? If Brian never showed up here, what do you think?”
Wulan looked to nod. “Ya like that alone is good enough,” he said slowly.
..ooo0ooo..
After the barbeque that night Arkan drove the wulan back to his residence.
The atmosphere in the car was so calm. Wulan was busy with her own thoughts as was Arkan.
“Wulan,” call Arkan.
“Iya mas,” Wulan replied.
“You do not want to buy something, soon we arrive,” asked Arkan.
“No mas, I do not need anything,” replied Wulan briefly without looking at the slightest head from the outside of the window.
“Why you?” ask Arkan gently.
Wulan just threw her gaze towards arkan. “Mas Brian, what in do his end of this end mas?” ask her with a worried tone.
Arkan was silent for a moment. “Mas Brian, he he's too busy with his work. Coastal reconstruction projects in the million islands are being worked on, he needs a lot of capital. He had to intervene directly ngeloby every investor and loan applications in several banks still continue in incessant,” explained Brian.
Wulan looked at Arkan fixedly. “I also heard about it from some employees when I went to the head office. Mas Brian had just become the CEO of the company but his ambition was already too great. Some banks still do not believe in its performance that has not shown results, and its rivals to aggressively want to drop it,” said Wulan.
“So you are worrying about your husband,” Arkan said.
“Entah, it's just that the future of the family-owned company is in his hands. Isn't taking the project hundreds of trillions too risky?”
“I've already banned him, but he said this is his chance to get everything,” Arkan said.
“At this time our company is flying upright at the top of the mountain, in the middle of storms and snow. With such a strong wind that blows endlessly, while the runway is not too sturdy, can it survive?” wulan said again.
“It turns out she is worrying about the company, I think she is worrying about her husband,” Inner Arkan.
“The company's decision is in the hands of Brian, my job there is only to monitor finances. As long as the company runs normally I can only support it,” Arkan said.
The atmosphere became quiet for a few moments.
“The end of this Brian mas take a lot of funds from the company's cash, funds are not small. He did not say where all the money was being diverted. Said Brian already got permission from uncle Johan, I can say what?” continue Arkan.
“Mas confirmed to uncle Johan?” ask wulan enthusiastically.
Arkan answered Wulan with a nod. “Uncle says ‘Brian performance this end is very good, we see what Brian buzz this time,’ I can say what?”
“Part of the money taken some of it is always returned on time, every month before closing the money book has returned to the account completely. So mas is not too concerned about it,” continued Arkan.
Didn't feel like Arkan's black Opel car had stopped at the door.
“You don't have to worry, actually, I've sent people to investigate the flow of funds. The money revolves around several fellow investors who work with Brian. Mas is collecting evidence so that if something happens, Brian will not associate with you,” said Arkan softly.
“Kok even me mas?”
“If your husband is corrupt or whatever it is, you will not be dragged into his problems, because you are his wife.”
“I will never use the money a dime,” stressed Wulan.
“Iya it's him. Now stop thinking about what is not your responsibility. All day you think too much about the company, you just live a happy, calm and peaceful life. No need to think about anything else. Listen?”
Wulan nodded.
“If only Brian had a little attention like Arkan. Maybe I'll never feel like this marriage is a waste. I feel like I've thrown the rest of my life away to the wrong people. And I have to live the rest of my life with solitude,” Inner Wulan.
