Mother To Cilla

Suddenly Maccomblang

In the news this morning it was aired that the Executive Director of Sun Group was arrested by the police for committing kidnapping and mistreatment l on the wife of the CEO of the company xxxx, the exact motive is not known as it is still under police investigation.

Hardi turned off the TV in his room, then he called Rio to prepare all the files concerning the Sun Group. He wanted to cancel the contract of cooperation with the company, not because of the problem of preservation only. But because of Malvin's actions, the Sun Group company is on the verge of collapse. Not wanting to take too big a risk, Hardi finally decided to end the contract.

Rio entered with the files that Hardi needed and the termination letter of the contract with the company. Hardi signed it and told Rio to send everything to the Sun Group.

Hardi leaned his back on the back of the chair, he let out a long sigh and threw it hard. Hush.... There are so many problems that he experienced, both in the company and concerning his family. He hopes that in the future there will be no more problems that he will face again, that is only the hope that Hardi wants.

Sarah was still lying in bed, not because she was still sick but she was just lazy to want to enjoy her freedom after the incident that happened to her. The bruise on his face had faded away with no visible trace at all.

He once thought back to the times he was in. He suffered greatly, was afraid and worried, but it was all he forgot so as not to take the burden of his mind back.

Now Sarah wants to laze around enjoying her time alone, after all Cilla has left with Lia. He went back to sleep until he fell asleep.

The next day, Sarah invites Cilla to meet with Sita, although Sarah is no longer teaching and Cilla has entered Elementary School but friendship with Sita is still well established.

Sarah and Sita had an appointment at a diner in a Mall owned by the MK Company. Sarah went straight there after first picking up Cilla at her school.

Seen Sita was already sitting there calling Sarah who was looking for her whereabouts. Sarah approached him and sat down in front of him and helped Cilla to sit down as well.

"Hi! Cilla how are you?" Sita asked friendly

"Well Sita ma'am" he replied innocently.

"Now Cilla has grown up well, mother so miss Cilla school Kindergarten first" said Sita smiled and Cilla also smiled.

"What do you want to order?" ask Sarah because Sita is cool with Cilla.

"I ordered the same thing you ordered." Answer Sita.

"Oh yeah, how's your relationship with that handsome CEO!" ask Sita.

"Well, it's going well" Sarah blushed.

"If you look at the aura, you look happy. Now she must have changed" Sita was happy.

"That's fine, now Hardi's changed. I'm happy to marry her" Sarah blushed again.

"Cie.cie.... I'm happy that you're happy" Sita's sincere smile.

Coincidentally also Hardi was there, Hardi was monitoring the outlets Hasa Beauty in the Mall. He went around wanting to monitor it directly after setting it up a year ago.

When preparing for lunch with Rio, he happened to see his wife and son at the dining place that was there. Hardi approached the child and his wife who were busy chatting, followed by Rio.

"Hi Cilla's. Honey are you here?" Hardi kissed his wife's forehead shamelessly and kissed her daughter's chubby cheeks.

"Just eating, all of you meet friends. Oh. yes, I still know Sita. This is Cilla's kindergarten teacher, my colleague taught me first" Sarah introduced Sita.

"Yes, I'm Hardi" reached out to Sita and replied back.

Sarah noticed the behavior of the two of them, she understood then immediately she asked Rio's phone.

"Rio, can you borrow your phone for a second?" asked Sarah, confused Rio also gave her phone.

Sarah types something on Rio's phone and gives it back to Rio. Rio who saw her was stunned then looked at Sarah who was smiling meaningfully. Hardi who saw it felt confused by Sarah and Rio's attitude, like gesturing to each other.

The food came, they had lunch together. Hardi, Sarah and Cilla were talking like happy little families, while Rio and Sita who were sitting next to each other were just lyrically with awkward smiles when their eyes accidentally met each other. Rio noticed Sita while Sita pretended to focus on her food when in her heart she was very pounding due to their adjacent sitting position.

When everything was done, Hardi was about to return to the office with Rio but Sarah forbade him, telling her husband to come to the office with her in the car that Tono was driving. Hardi is confused by Sarah's request but obeys his wife's words.

"Rio, can you please take Sita to her house" Sarah blinked her eyes.

Sita just rounded her eyes in shock and gestured to Sarah with her lips.

Sarah just smiled "It could be Rio" he continued.

Rio confusedly looked at Hardi and Hardi just nodded in order to obey his wife said.

"Well ma'am, I'll drop off" Rio replied after getting approval from Hardi.

Rio also left with Sita who looks very awkward with each other. Hardi and Sarah looked at them from behind.

Hardi looked at Sarah and asked, "What is this?"

Sarah smiled, "It seems they like each other, mas. I'm just giving way, well in the future it's up to them"

"So, what did you borrow Rio's phone for?" Hardi curious.

"Oh. I typed Sita's number there. Well maybe Rio needs her to contact Sita" Sarah smiled towards her husband.

now Hardi also understood and answered already will be confused earlier.

In the car, Rio and Sita looked Awkward, not a word came out of their mouths for a while only silence was left. Feeling uncomfortable with the quiet and increasingly awkward conditions then Rio took the initiative to open the conversation.

"Sorry, I think we've met Dad!" remember Rio but don't know for sure.

"Yes, we met once when you picked up Sarah at Kindergarten" Sita replied awkwardly.

"Oh yes. I just remembered. By the way, do you have a boyfriend?" Rio too the point, actually he also ventured to ask so.

Hearing the question made Sita surprised, then she answered nervously "Be. I don't have a boyfriend".

Hearing Sita's answer, Rio's heart felt happy as if it was surging but he still put on an ordinary face. After that short chat they went back into silence, but occasionally Rio tried to hold back the smile on his lips and steal a glance towards Sita without Sita noticing.
