"I'm waiting for you" he said again and tightened his arms.
It was a relief that Mr. Edward said that the woman in the photo was his ex-lover. Emotions that had peaked now slowly dimmed.
"Why are you quiet? You still mad at me for that photo?" ask because I am still silent.
All this time I only heard stories from Raya and Fira when hugged from behind it was the most comfortable. Now that I feel it and it is true, I feel comfortable being in his arms.
"You threw away that photo. I forgot I didn't throw it away. After all, the photo has become my past," he said then released a hug and turned my body into facing each other.
"I'm sorry I made you angry" he said again and I remained silent. "Speak, I can't let you go" he whined.
For a moment, the four eyes clashed against each other. The distance that is getting eroded cannot be avoided.
"Ehemmm,,,"
Suddenly I distanced myself to hear someone thumping. It was Om Gerald who came.
"Corn, Om," I said when I saw her coming into the room.
"Jiang, Julia. I'm sorry to bother you guys," he said.
"No, no. I want to go to the general department to check on something" I said and went straight outside the room.
My breath came out of the room. Shame to also be caught being alone with Mr. Edward by Om Gerald earlier.
At least I'll give papa and the boy some space.
Upon arrival at the general department I went to see Mr. Zaki to request a report this month.
"Good day, Mr. Zaki. I'll take the report this month because Mr. Edward asked for it" I asked Mr. Zaki who was busy with his keyboard.
"Well, I'll prepare" he replied.
Mr. Zaki started printing the reports I asked for. Shortly thereafter, he handed it to me.
"Thank you, sir," I said after receiving the report submitted by Mr. Zaki.
"Either. Miss Julia, are Mr Gerald and Mr Edward in a meeting right now?" tanyanya seemed very worried about the meeting of the two bosses.
"Yes they are in the vice-director room. Is there a problem?" I was curious about his expression.
"The situation on the ground is in chaos right now. The workers went on strike because it had been six months that their allowances had not been paid" he explained.
"Certainly that?" I can't believe it.
As far as I know this company does not lack funds especially for the welfare of its employees. Every time I follow Mr. Edward meeting and working with clients mostly runs smoothly. There are no problems for investors either. It is impossible to not pay the staff.
"Even the salary is only paid in half," continued Mr. Zaki.
I haven't been in the field since I worked for this company. Instead of continuing to be curious let me ask the financial section only.
"Hopefully the condition of our company quickly improves so that it can quickly pay its employees. I go first Mr. Zaki," my saying and Mr. Zaki just nodded.
What's wrong with Om Gerald? How bad is the condition of the keungannya to not be able to pay employees as they should?
Arriving at the finance department I immediately met Bu Elena the company's financial manager.
"Hurray, Miss Elena. I want to check the latest financial statements" I asked.
"Aren't I giving financial statements every month? Why ask again?" he asked back with a tone of judes.
"I've checked it. But Mr. Edward asked for a report today. Please prepare!" let me use the name Tian Edward anyway for the good of his company as well.
It's said that Miss Elena likes Mr. Edward. It's just that Mr. Edward never took a glance at it. Every time there is a meeting with the managers he always looks different to attract the attention of Mr. Edward. It is a shame that his love is unrequited. Hiiihi...
I'm sorry, Miss Elena, Mr. Edward is mine.
Soon Ms. Elena handed me the report I asked for. I read it right then and there. According to reports from Bu Elena, the company's financial condition does not show any losses or shortcomings. Even the profits earned always increase.
Looks like something went wrong in this part of the field or from the financial statements. I have to find out. I'd better go back to the room to talk about this with Mr. Edward. I hope Om Gerald is back in his room.
I opened the door and it turned out that Om Gerald was no longer in the room. Mercifully.
"Juulliaaa," I heard Mr. Edward's voice call me weak.
After I searched all over the room it was behind his desk drooping limp. The blood on the corner of his lips hit his hand. It seemed like he shrank the wound on his lips with his hands.
I quickly approached him who was limp and carried him on my lap.
"I'll call the doctor" I said worried about seeing his condition.
It will be weak if you see blood. What really happened between him and his father? When I left, everything was fine.
"Jaangaann," his voice was crooked to prevent me. "I don't want anyone to see my weakness" he continued.
"I help you stand up and lie down on the couch," I helped her stand up and swept her all the way to the couch.
He lay weak, I could not bear to see him. Mr. Edward kept holding my hand as if he didn't want me to leave. I scanned his pale and helpless face.
The phone kept ringing, I meant to pick up the phone.
"Don't go!" preventably.
"I'll pick up the phone first. Otherwise they'll be here looking for you" he slowly let go of my hand and I picked up the phone immediately.
"Let's say Mr. Edward is in a meeting and can't be bothered" I told the receptionist who called informing me that someone wanted to meet with Old Edward.
I went back to the couch where Mr. Edward lay. I cleaned the blood in his hand with a wet tissue that was always there. Then treat the wound at the corner of the lip and cover it with a plaster.
Could Om Gerald blame Mr Edward for the strike on the ground?
There are so many questions I want to ask. Eh who will answer it even lies limp.
"Don't kill my mama... Mama wake up..." Mr. Edward was delirious, his voice slow, but I could still hear him.
"Mamaaaaa.." Her tears dripped. I can feel a deep sadness in his cries.
Hearing Mr. Edward calling his dead mother I missed my mother too.
Mom, I missed you. Hope you calm down there.
We have to strengthen each other. Wake up!
I embrace that weak body. I tried to calm him down because Mr. Edward kept calling his mother.
"Calm down, I'm here" I said softly as I hugged and cried to see her so sad and unconscious.
The happiness of a child is to get complete affection from his parents. As for me and Mr. Edward from childhood did not get complete affection from father and mother, mother and father, we.
If my mom were still around, I probably wouldn't feel lonely if my dad left for the office.
If Mr. Edward's mother were still around, he probably wouldn't have had this much injury and trauma.
But everything is the destiny outlined by God. We just have to accept it with sincerity. To gain wisdom from his every plan.
