Mentari for Dawn

CHAPTER 69 - Permission

"Mmm, I-I'm sorry. I have absolutely no intention of keeping this matter from you, let alone lying to you. I-I just feel confused, how to tell it. Because I know how you relate to your family. I'm just afraid you'll think and worry if you know. And.... You're going to forbid me to intern at that place.

I'm sorry, I broke the promise we made to be open to each other in every way. B-but you should know, actually last night I was planning to reveal everything. But I was caught in the heavy rain. And it just so happens that there's only Gerald. And he offered to take me home.

But we had an accident, and you know it all. And.... Now if you ask me to leave the company, I will definitely obey him. I will not dispute the words of the husband I love so much" Tari said solemnly.

Dawn fell silent at the explanation of Dance. He did not expect that a man like Gerald could bring a little attention to his wife, and offered to take her home.

But as soon as his half-brother was not a typical man who would be gentle and attentive to a woman. For Gerald, women are just satisfied with their desires. It won't be more than that.

Yes, even though all this time their relationship has never run smoothly like a brother sister in general, but like an enemy, but it did not become a barrier for Dawn to know what kind of lunge her brother.

Thinking of Gerald being a little considerate of his wife, Fajar became a little worried, because men like Gerald were sometimes unpredictable. Honestly, he actually wanted to ask Tari to just leave the company, because he did not want his wife to have any business with his arrogant family.

But is it fair that he made an excuse to ask Tari to resign, while his wife's status there as an intern?

"Did you feel comfortable interning in that place? What Gerald.... And some of his employees treat you badly, making you feel less like you're there?" Dawn stared fixedly at Tari and asked gently.

"Mmmm.... Actually all the employees there treat me well like everyone else. I am comfortable with their attitude. And.... Your stepbrother also does have a haughty and arrogant attitude. And I don't like it very much. But, he can really be professional, by not relating work problems to our personal problems" replied Tari honestly

"Yes already"

"What's up?" Dance asked confused.

"Yes.... If Gerald and the employees over there aren't treating you badly, I don't think I have any reason to tell you to quit the company. After all, your status is there as an intern. And that's very important for your college and your future. Just a few months. The important thing is that you feel comfortable and calm" replied Fajar.

Although his heart was heavy to let Tari be in Gerald's company, he did not have a good reason to ask his wife to resign, while his wife had no problems there. He did not want his feud with his family to interfere with his wife's education. Later, he can also keep an eye on the dance.

"Are you serious?" Tanya Dari with a glittering look.

"Yes I don't want to, your college to be troubled because of my personal problems with my family" replied Fajar with a gentle smile.

"Yes I agree. But I have to ask Gerald for permission first. After all, he's my boss"

"You take it easy, let me tell him later"

"Would you like to see him?"

"Yes. I also want to see how he is doing. After all, he is still my brother. I am also sad about what happened to him. Moreover, said the doctor, his condition is worse than yours" replied Fajar with a voice that sounded concerned.

Obviously he still remembers exactly how the doctor said last night. Although trying to harden his heart on the attitude of those who always make him eat the heart, but he is still a human who has a conscience. Who has a sense of kasian and empathy for her brother's condition.

Had it not been for the sake of avoiding the confrontation that would have occurred every time he met the three, he might have visited Gerald from last night to see his honest circumstances worry him. But now by meeting Gerald to ask permission for Dance leave, he can all check the condition of the man.

Dance looked at her husband in admiration. Although he knew what the crack of Dawn's relationship with his family always looked at him like a piece of garbage, but he could see the worry in his eyes for his brother.

She felt lucky to be the wife of that man. Although their marriage was preceded by an accident, it may be a storm that must be passed to be able to achieve happiness.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Gerald was lying alone in a big, luxurious room where he was taken from last night. Oma and her mama have been home since morning because there is some work that they have to take care of, a little substitute for the task of Gerald who currently still can not stop it.

Actually Gerald has forced to go home and return to the company, because he can no longer bear to be in this boring place.

But Astrid and Oma Violet insisted they did not want her to leave the hospital, as doctors said her condition was still not fully stable and needed treatment. Inevitably Gerald must obey, because lazy to hear the stupidity of the two women.

To slightly relieve his boredom and satiety, Gerald decided to watch television, watch his favorite shows and action movies while eating fruits that had been sliced. But the films were only able to entertain him for a few hours, until finally the boredom returned to his stupor.

His mind suddenly wandered on to Dance. How is that woman now? Was she and the baby okay after the accident? I don't know why lately he couldn't stop thinking about that woman. Especially when thinking about the baby it contains, which is none other than its own flesh and blood.

He wanted to see the woman to confirm her condition. But how? He doesn't even know in what room the woman was in. Asking Fajr, it feels very unlikely. Because he didn't want to have to talk to the person he hated the most! Argghhh! What's he supposed to do?
