"Vivie, your brother why hasn't he come home yet? I'm so worried."

Vivie stopped munching on toast which became the breakfast menu. Mr. Daus folded up the newspaper he read, throwing his gaze at the wife who looked agitated since last night.

"I think Verda's sister is sulking because of the sudden arrival of Abim's sister" said Vivie.

"Yes, how else, the name there is a future guest must be rejected" said Ms. Eva.

"Mother, Father, are you seriously looking to rematch Verda and Abim?" ask Vivie.

"Vie, Abim was so serious about Verda, Abim even canceled his wedding plans for the sake of seriousness to Verda," said Ms. Eva.

"Then Verda and Abim were so young, still so unstable. They can't think as adults. The other way with now, they were both much more mature. Abim's good intentions for the reference have also been supported by his extended family" Mr. Daus explained.

"It's better for Verda to come back, than she's going crazy with the men on the paper that fill the walls of her room" said Ms. Eva.

"Mother, but see for yourself, Verda even ran away like this as a form of protest because Verda did not want to refer to Abim, again" said Vivie.

Mom and Dad looked back.

"Vivie, where is Verda going? He has no place to go" Mother said.

"Bi Sri," call Vivie.

"Yes, Madam Vie," said Bi Sri who immediately came as soon as Vivie called him.

"Bi Sri, said Bibi, during our vacation, Verda was never home?"

Vivie had learned the information from Bi Sri and wanted Bi Sri to convey it directly in front of her father and mother.

"Yes right, Ms. Vie, Ms. Verda never went home, her room was always neat like never before. I also do not wash Ms Verda's clothes anymore" Bi Sri explained.

"Bi Sri, is that right?" ask Ms. Eva full of questions.

"True, Mom, the car of Mbak Verda is also always in the garage, only Mr. Yanto who every day heats all the car engines parked in the garage," Bi Sri continued his testimony.

Mr. Yanto himself is the name of the family driver Pak Daus.

"Dad, Mom, listen to yourself, right?" Vivie.

"Vivie, you don't scare me that way" Mr. Daus said.

"Vie, you don't make Mom more anxious dong," complained Miss Eva.

"Mom, I'm just talking for what it is. It seems like Verda Brother did run away somewhere as a protest because he did not want to return to the reference with Abim," Vivie drew the conclusion.

"Vie, tell you what, try to meet your brother, take him home," Mr. Daus said.

"Well, Dad," said Vivie.

"Mother is, take it easy, do not worry too much, Verda is an adult," Mr. Daus turned to his wife.

"Mom, let's go to the stall, it's been a long time since we visited the stall" said Mr. Daus.

"Yes, Vie, Mom and Dad go first, meet your sister soon, yes" Mother said.

Vivie was still enjoying breakfast while her father and mother were getting ready to head to the stall run by her parents. Before retiring from one of the largest SOEs in the country, Pak Daus opened a restaurant business that now has three branches in this city.

Vivie immediately contacted her brother who had not picked up her phone since last night.

"Where is Verda going?" lamented Vivie.

"Shall I come to his office?" ask Vivie.

...*****...

Vivie entered an office building located in the city center. As Vivie recalls, Verda did mention the name of the company where she worked.

To Vivie, her sister was really weird. His sister is willing to work in a company just to find busyness. Though the pocket money given by their father every month is much more than the salary received by his brother. So sometimes Vivie helps supervise employees who work at the restaurant owned by their parents.

"Good day, can anyone help?" greet the receptionist who welcomed Vivie.

"Siang, I want to meet with Verda's sister" replied Vivie.

"Verda?" ask receptionist.

"Verdanica," Vivie replied mentioning her brother's full name.

"Excuse me," a man greeted Vivie. "You're looking for Verdanica from Valid Corp.?"

"Yes, right," replied Vivie.

"I'm sorry, if I may know who I'm talking to?" ask the man friendly.

"I'm Vivie, sister of Verda's sister" Vivie replied.

The man gave a bright smile.

"I'm a friend of Verda's, my name is Julian, just call me Ican" the man said.

"Verda's in the office" Ican replied.

"Oh, is Verda so busy that she doesn't answer her phone?" ask Vivie.

"Vivie want to see Verda?" ask Ican.

"Yes, I want to meet you" Vivie replied.

"Alright, then come with me," Ican asked.

Vivie immediately follows Ican who invites her into the elevator. Inside the skyscraper there are many companies. Once out of the elevator, they walked through the hallway with a barrier of glass walls on the right left is an office area. On each wall is a large signpost bearing the name of the company.

Ican pushed the glass door and let Vivie in.

"Verda! There's a guest for you, "excited Ican.

He hoped Verda would hear and speak from his cubicle.

"What the hell is it, Can, screaming like that?!" sahut Teti looked up from his cubicle.

The eyes of the officials caught the figure of a sweet-talking woman commenting on a friendly smile.

Nita got out of her chair and approached Ican. Nita's eyes examined the appearance of a young woman who looked beautiful in a shirt with a medium length of soft yellow.

"Verda is still in Pak Handoko's room with Vedra" said Nita.

"Oh, I see," said Ican.

"Oh yeah, by the way, who are you carrying, Can?" ask Nita.

"This is my sister-in-law, Vivie," Ican replied enthusiastically.

"Geez, Can, you've caught a hammer too!" nita Sahut.

"Yee, who knows if there's a late angel who agrees!" cerocos.

"What's the need, till Verda's sister gets here?" ask Nita.

"I couldn't get in touch with Verda, afraid of why-why so I stopped by her office" Vivie replied.

"Verda!" Ican exclaimed as soon as he saw Verda coming out of Mr. Handoko's office.

"Vivie?!" Verda was surprised to see Vivie waving her hand at him.

Verda immediately approached Vivie.

"Vie, how are you here?" ask Verda astonishment.

"So Verda cannot be contacted" Vivie said.

"I'm sorry, Vie, I'm really busy, until I don't have a cell phone" Verda said.

"Sir Verda, there's something we need to talk about" Vivie said.

Verda looked at her watch. 

"Yes, I'm taking a break, guys" Verda said goodbye.

He immediately took Vivie out of her office.

"Wih, Verda and her sister are both beautiful yes, amazing," Teti praised.

"But it is sexier Verda than her sister" Nita said.

"Verda's sister is really my type!" Ican said.

"Ican, Ican, all the pretty girls seem to be your type?!" tease Teti.

"Do you know where Verda is?" asked Vedra as soon as he came out of Mr. Handoko's room.

"Oh, Verda rest first, my sister-in-law comes to visit, Ved," Ican said.

"Your sister-in-law?" ask Vedra while frowning.

"Yes, my sister-in-law is beautiful, Ved! Your wife is nothing compared to my sister-in-law!" cerocos Ican with great pride.

"Oh" said Vedra.

"Oh yes Ved, by the way, why is your face so bruised?" ask Nita.

"You've been slapped with your wife in a pot, huh?" ask Ican.

Vedra did not answer the questions of his colleagues. He prefers to return to work, ignoring his colleagues who impressed kepo.
