MARRIED DUREN SAWIT

Prologues

Canberra, Australia.

An alarm clock rang and sounded from inside the room of a 5-year-old boy named Farrel. She woke up at exactly 07:00 am to celebrate her 5th birthday. Farrel ran out of his room to the main room where his father was fast asleep after a long day working as the head of a large company in the city.

"Daddy! Daddy's! Wake up!" Farrel climbed on the back of his father, Reyhan. But the father was still asleep and even snored loudly.

"Gro!!!" Reyhan's snoring voice irritated the son half-deadly to him.

"Daddy! It's my birthday!" Pekik Farrel made Reyhan immediately open his eyes wide.

Reyhan turned his body so that Ferrel fell beside him. He saw the face of the son so cheerful on his birthday.

"Daddy, presents?" Pinta Farrell.

Reyhan was still speechless looking at the son who stretched out his hands asking for birthday gifts like his usual years.

"Okay, anying! Lothawat! I forgot Farrel had a birthday today." Reyhan cursed himself in his heart.

"Daddy, don't tell me you forgot my birthday like it was years ago!" Peeked Farrel was upset

"No.no.no! That's not possible! Hehehe." Sahut Reyhan was forced to deceive his beloved son.

"Where is my present? I want it right now!" Farrel.

"Ok, wait a second!" Reyhan said as he jumped down from his bed and passed from the main room.

Reyhan galloped towards the kitchen room where so many servants were staring in astonishment at him. I don't know what made the CEO of the company set foot there.

"Tu..mr! What are you doing in the kitchen? Do you need anything?" Eugene asked, a butler in the house.

"Eugene, help me! I haven't bought Farrel a birthday present." Sahut Reyhan panicked because he did not want his son to sulk at him.

"Haaahh, don't tell me you forgot it again." Eugene let out a long sigh because it must be repeated every year.

"Simply provide the solution!" Reyhan shouted in annoyance and made all the servants tremble in fear.

Eugene also thought to find a solution to the problem that his master was experiencing. While waiting for Eugene to get an idea, Reyhan sees a kitchen chef about to cut a fish that will be their meal later in the day. Seeing the fish still floundering on the table, Reyhan suddenly got an amazing idea for him.

"That's it!" Reyhan muttered as he stepped quickly towards the floundering fish.

The chef was confused to see Reyhan staring at the fish that were bubbling on the kitchen table.

'Master, what's wrong?" Ask Koki.

"Take me a jar filled with water!" Pinta Reyhan's.

The chef did what Reyhan told him. He took a glass jar and filled it with tap water.

"It's sir." Said the chef gave it to Reyhan.

"Put a fish in it!" Reyhan's orders again made the chef even more confused.

"What?" Said the confused chef.

"I said put this fish in a jar! Are you a prankster, huh?" Reyhan shouted annoyed.

The chef did what his master told him. Then Reyhan took the jar that already contained the fish while looking at him.

"Hehehe, this fish I will make my son's birthday present!" Reyhan exclaimed that all the servants in the kitchen were stunned by the behavior of the master who was so ridiculous.

Reyhan passed from the kitchen carrying a jar containing fish and he would make a gift for the son. Eugene and the other servants in the kitchen could only sigh deeply at the ridiculous manner of the master.

"Haaaah, how could a sea fish be put in a jar filled with tap water?" Chef muttered a long breath.

"Yes! I'm sure a few minutes later the poor fish will die in that jar." Eugene.

"Our master is indeed a strange magical bin." Say Chef again.

Reyhan went into the room again and saw Farrel waiting for him. Farrel glanced at a jar that was inside Reyhan's grasp.

"Daddy, what is it?" Ask Farrel.

"Yespura....!!!! This is your birthday present!!!" Reyhan exclaimed that the sea fish had almost drowned in the jar filled with tap water.

"Wow, it's amazing!" Farrel was so pleased with his innocent face.

"You like it?" Ask Reyhan.

"of course! I always loved a gift from Daddy." Farrel made Reyhan breathe a sigh of relief.

Farrel noticed the fish that did not want to swim and looked weak.

"Daddy! I think this fish is problematic." Farrel said he was suspicious of the fish.

"Hahahaha, that's just your feeling!" Sahut Reyhan's.

"But these fish don't want to swim!" Farrel said again.

"Eh, lazy fish? Is there a fish like that?" Farrel was confused.

"Of course there is! This fish is very good with sharks! Haha." Reyhan said with his silly behavior.

"Well, a shark?" Farrel exclaimed as if amazed by the fish that would actually be his lunch that day.

"Daddy is great! Gave me a gift of a fish that's well-connected to a shark." Farrel again believed all the words of his father.

"of course! Hehehe." Sahut Reyhan is proud.

Then there was a knock on the door from outside the room.

"Lake in!" Reyhan.

An assistant as well as Reyhan's confidant went inside. The man named Defras is none other than Reyhan's cousin.

"Rey, we have a flight this morning." Defras to Reyhan.

"Where are we going?" Ask Reyhan who often forgets because he has too much work schedule to manage his business.

"Today we're going to Victoria to attend a meeting with your business relations." Sahut Defras's.

"Cancel!" Reyhan's orders.

"Huh?" Defras said.

"Today's my son's birthday, so I'll spend my time with him." Reyhan.

"Well, it turns out that today's nephew om is having a birthday huh! Happy birthday, Farrel!" Excited Defras who also really loved the 5-year-old boy.

"Om, look! This is a gift from daddy to me! Daddy said this fish is good with sharks!" Farrel exclaimed as he showed the fish that had been overturned in the jar.

Defras pay attention to the fish that have been deceased.

"Eeem, but this fish is....

Reyhan quickly smothered the mouth of his assistant so as not to say that the tie had died in the jar.

"Eeemmm..hmmmm!!" Pekik Defras.

"Don't tell me the fish is dead or I'm going to slaughter your neck!" Reyhan's whisper to the assistant.

Defras nodded quickly and Reyhan opened his hands to the mouth of his assistant. While Farrel with his dilettantes stared in bewilderment at the two grown men standing before him.

"What's wrong?" Ask Farrel.

"Hahaha, there's nothing! Your fish are so good." Sahut Defras's.

"really?" Farrel is enthusiastic.

"of course! The fish is well-connected to sharks, right? Wow, that's great!" Defras said again to please Farrel and save himself from Reyhan's threat.

"Yes, the name of this fish is lazy fish!" Farrel.

"Ha.ha.ha, lazy fish! It's worth it he floats around wearing that." Sahut Defras glanced at Reyhan.

Reyhan approached his son who was still holding the jar.

"What other gifts do you want?" Ask Reyhan.

"Can I ask for another gift?" Ask Farrel.

"Of course, I can! You are my favorite son." Sahut Reyhan's.

"I want to go to the amusement park, but before that I also want a birthday cake." Pinta Farrell.

"All right! Since you're on your birthday, there should be a tart filled with candles." Sahut Reyhan's.

"Horree!!! Daddy's very good." Farrel looked so happy on his birthday.

"Now go to your nanny and get ready! After breakfast we'll go buy you a birthday cake." Reyhan.

Farrel got out of Reyhan's bed and came out of the room. Defras looked at the five-year-old with a smile.

"Rey...Rey! It's a good thing Farrel is 5 years old and still so innocent, otherwise I'm sure he'll lash out at you because you've forgotten his birthday." Defras.

"I had no choice but to try to trick her! I was so busy with my business that I forgot his birthday." Sahut Reyhan's.

"When are you too busy like this? Aren't you a deterrent? Linda even left you for another guy because you were too busy working. Do you want your son to do the same?" Ask Defras.

"Don't mention the name of that traitorous woman again! I don't want to hear it." Reyhan said as if annoyed and full of anger when Defras mentioned the name of his ex-wife.

"Yes, okay!" Defras Speech.

"You go to the office and monitor all the work of the employees! Today I'm going with my son." Reyhan.

"All right!" Sahut Defras obey orders from the head of the company where he works.

Defras came out of the room while Reyhan was still sitting on the edge of the bed sighing violently. His mind was so cramped that he recalled the betrayal of his ex-wife who could leave him and his son just for the sake of another man.
