Married Because of Ijbar
Chapters 19. Katia the assistant manager
“Tell me what you did after watching that movie?!” snapped it. Suddenly his chest seemed like it wanted to explode restraining curiosity. Maula hid under the blanket without answering anything.
“Why silence? I am waiting for your answer.”
“Abang guess for yourself just the answer.”
“If you know the answer, there is no way your brother.”
“Abang asked me in any way, I still don't want to answer now.”
“You want what the hell, Dek? Just answer me what is hard?” Khayru sat cross-legged facing Maula. His tone began to soften in order to get a real answer.
“I want to sleep now. Continue chatting tomorrow only.” He didn't even want to show Khayru his face. Having this kind of response, of course, Khayru's heart was a little restless, suspicious, and increasingly curious.
Get out of bed, open the window and stand on the balcony accompanied by waves chasing each other. He stood for quite a while even though the air tonight felt extremely cold to the skin. His heart was worried, filled with regret. Perhaps he had failed to take care of Maula.
Suddenly, his body felt warm as someone shared a blanket and stood beside him. The sinless face suddenly appeared, making Khayru not stop looking at him. He glanced at a glance while smacking a smile then looked forward.
“What?! Why look at me like that?” still with a face without sin.
“Ish ...” Khayru slicked her shoulders.
“This child is very confusing. He really tested my patience,” Inner Khayru while shaking her head then sighing.
“Abang will still charge your answer, remember that!”
Maula ignored Khayru's warning, but slipped into the arms of the man who was laying his hands on the balcony railing.
“Cold, Bang.”
“Kok, any hell, girl don't know shy like you?”
The maula covered her mouth that was wide open from yawning. “Touch, Bang. Sleeping, yuk,” She showed her already very sticky eyelids.
Khayru stared while smiling. However, he finally lifted the small body onto the bed.
That's how Maula is, he is wayward but he will not be able to sleep just like that if Khayru is still angry. Inevitably, Khayru must be the one who always forgives his mistakes. Whatever it is.
“Build, Deck. Get ready ... we have breakfast.” Khayru had already come out of the bathroom and picked a neat outfit for today.
“Abis our breakfast to where?” The maula did not immediately rise because her eyes were still so tight.
“Ikut Abang anyway.”
Maula immediately woke up quickly while opening her eyes.
“Can you have a vacation today?” tannya with sparkling eyes.
“Where do you want to go?” Khayru started wearing her clothes. From her casual clothing style, Maula could guess maybe today she had no work-related activities.
“*Snorkeling*, *diving*, riding by the beach, going up to Merese hill, sightseeing to Sude hamlet, sunbathing on pink beach, going to Sasak fabric weaving center... keep-”
“Mandi first, Brother wait below,” always cut off the greeting Maula while wrapped around the towel around Maula's neck.
He let Maula get ready, while he went downstairs to greet some guests who might have been sitting in the hotel restaurant waiting for breakfast.
“*Good morning, Mr ... Mother ... breakfast has arrived*?”
“*How is today, Mr ... Madam*?”
“*Good morning, nice to meet you*...”
“*Happy breakfast. Hope the dishes are satisfying*.”
“*Tell me if you need something*...”
Khayru did not realize, someone was already standing behind her. She is a very beautiful assistant manager and just entered work after a few days off.
“Sorry ... You?”
“Good morning, Sir. My name is Katia Mayasari, her assistant Mr. Ares, she will be on duty later tonight.” He extended his hand with a smile.
“Khayru ..” he replied while replying to a helping hand while not forgetting to always smile everywhere, at anyone he met.
They continued the conversation while walking around the hotel.
“What do they say about me?”
“Many,” he replied while staring and smiling meaningfully.
“Handsome ... friendly .. young .. successful-”
Suddenly Khayru laughed in response to praise for the sake of praise that somehow he heard from the mouths of people who did not even know him well.
“Why are they talking? Handsome ...? Young ...?" He smiled back. Katia returned the smile while raising her eyebrows.
“A few more years, I'll be old. Good looks will mean nothing anymore. “ One more thing, I just continue my adoptive parents efforts. So, the successful ones are them, Alm. My Mom and Dad. Not me.”
“It turns out you are also so humble,” muttered Katia with a straight forward view.
“Abang?!”
Someone called out from behind, making him immediately turn towards the Maula who seemed to be searching for her whereabouts from just now. They stopped and stood waiting for Maula who was running towards him.
“And this is my sister. Sorry, his lips are like this,” he said while pulling the two cheeks of Maula so that she smiled. Sontak Maula pinched Khayru's hand which made her *bete* this morning.
Katia smiles at Maula and Khayru's familiarity, though she doesn't really like the jutek face Maula shows her.
“Oh, yes. Until forget. I'll prepare breakfast for both of you.” He looked at his watch which already pointed at the number 07.08 WITA. “Please go back to the table first for breakfast,” he said before leaving for dept. *food and beverage*.
“Who else is he, Bang?” she asked him a moment after Katia passed.
“Assistant manager. Beautiful, yes?” he replied slowly as he stepped in front of Maula. It is certain that Maula's lips are middle komat Kamit wants to sneer at the woman.
“Bang, finished our breakfast sightseeing, yes?” Maula was excited to spend her breakfast so that she could immediately go where she wanted to.
“Meeting used to be with employees.”
“In that case, abis meeting, huh?”
“Abang still have to check all departments. *Front Office*, *Food and Beverage*, *Housekeeping*, *Accounting*, *HRD*, *Engineering*, *Marketing*, *Purchasing*, *Security*....”
“Lha, this can be a month waiting for work Abang to finish. Tau this is mending me vacation with Ariel,” protest.
“I phone Ariel told to come here aja, deh,” he said while putting aside his dinner plate and then began to play the phone that was not far from his hand. Khayru quickly picked up the phone while standing up.
“Where are you going, anyway? Not very impatient. Let's wake!”
Finally, Khayru pushed back the meeting schedule and all sorts of affairs to follow Maula's will. In fact, work affairs are much more important for the progress of his business.
“Today we walk, but before we go somewhere.”
“To where? It must be a work matter. Just a lie, dong. Streets but while working.”
“Do not protest,” ketusnya while pulling Maula's hand. He asked someone to prepare a car to find an address that he kept well in his wallet. A hamlet that he had visited several years ago. But now the mood has changed a lot.
“The car can only get here. So we have to walk. It's okay, right?”
“Actually where are we going anyway, Bang?” Questions that never answered made him more curious, but there was no other choice for Maula but to follow Khayru who started out of his car.
“Cute only. Later also tau.”
