Not as Beautiful as Roses

chapter 40

Fras is putting together an annual event that is the year of office. Every year he is the one who arranges everything.

"Have you prepared an event for your office birthday?" tanya Arka went into Fras' room.

"Almost done sir." Answer Fras.

"Good, you are the most reliable." Arka.

"Oiya, where are we going to buy a cake, sir? office subs said it was closing."

"That's why I leave everything to you Fras after all I am here then you are more experienced and know everything."

"Usually Dika used to always prepare tarts to cut cakes, cupcakes and other food sir." Fras.

"How many people should be invited?" ask Arka.

"Our loyal clients are sir."

"Well, you arrange to give me the report if there is anything less later I will talk to you again."

"Okay, good sir."

"I'm sorry then."

Arka looked at her wedding photo with the Rose, seen there the Rose who broke into tears and herself who did not show a smile of happiness at all.

"Where are the roses? I really-gener nyeselah ditched you that way, now I really miss the same you must be your stomach has started to grow right?" Arka spoke to herself while looking at the photo.

'My men have not found a bright spot about the existence of the Rose, even Mirna did not know where the Rose is. Is she really that tenacious as I was not going back home.' Inner Arc.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door from outside Arka immediately pressed the remote button and automatically the door opened.

"Mammy? why did Mamah come here?" ask Arka to Rita who just came.

"You come here to know about the rose, how have you heard of her?" ask Rita.

"Not Mah, my man has not received any information." Answer Arka.

"Oh Arka, you're looking for someone who really dong you just hire a detective to be more accurate!" firmly Rita.

"Well, Mamah must be patient and Arka also try to find Roses."

"Well what Arka, you are rich not intention to look for Roses you should intervene don't just sit waiting for news doang. Why the hell are you soft gini not firmly rich brother you."

"Yes I also tried to run away but still did not meet, anyways why try to go away from home would make everyone bother." Firmly Arka.

"It turns out you're not aware either Arka, you still blame others for your own mistakes. You forget about the company's annual event soon, what if the guests ask where your wife is, what do you want to answer? you should have thought of that." Rita.

"It's not what I mean Mah, I just don't like Mamah to keep cornering me. It's like I'm always wrong in Mom's eyes."

"Yes! emang you who have been wrong Arka continued Mamah must be wrong who if not you, now you think which wife will be strong to survive with a bastard husband like you, you know, As a parent, you can't imagine being a rose."

"Yes I know Mah, I know I'm an asshole. Then what else did Mamah expect from this bastard son of Mamah?"

"Oh that's why it's better for Mamah to find her own rose than to rely on you Arka!" firmly Rita.

Rita came out of Arka's room feeling full of emotion. Arka who saw his mother leave was immediately chasing after him.

Rita stopped her steps. "Until when is Arka? till when? Mama thought you were reliable turned out not at all."

"Love me Mah time, give me time to find the Rose. Don't even break the spirit I'm rich gini Mah." Arka.

"As far as you are Arka, it is better that Mamah look for Roses in her own way." Rita leaves Arka.

"Mah! what do you mean by Mama!!" yell Arka.

Angrily Arka returned to her room.

Rita was pacing back and forth thinking of a way for the Rose to be found.

"Why if I make a competition, I will give 500 million to the people who managed to meet the Rose." Rita.

Rita immediately called 3 of her men to print as many pictures of Roses as possible.

"I'm sure in this way the rose must be quickly found, I don't want him to why." Rita.

..

On the other hand Arka tried to find a way out of this problem, he was very afraid if the Rose really went and lost his life.

'What if the rose is not found, he is hiding somewhere intentionally because he does not want to see me? jeez, I'm just as mama.' Inner Arc.

Fras was about to give a report about the annual event but he accidentally collided with a new OB in the office until his file fell apart.

"Sorry sir, I'm sorry I accidentally." Said Nia re-cleaning the file and gave it to Fras.

"It's okay, you're new here?" ask Fras.

"Yes sir, I'm new here. Again I am sorry, sir. Dad, right?"

"Whoa, then excuse me if you continue to work." Fras left Nia alone, who was still staring at his back.

Without knocking on the door the door was already opened by itself the special secretary.

"Where's Fras' report done?" ask Arka.

"Already, Sir. If anyone wants to change please. Maybe you want the concept to suit your taste." Said Fras.

"Jaudah thanks Fras. Where'd you take Sherly, by the way?" ask Arka.

Fras seems confused why Arka still cares about Sherly even though his wife has not been found.

"You are Sir, somewhere. Why are you suddenly doing that? do you still care?" ask Fras.

Arka's eyes fiddled to hear Fras' words. "I'm just curious. You take good care of him whether it's your son, not my son everything has been proven." Arka.

"So calm, I'll take care of Sherly with the baby."

"You want to marry him Fras?" ask Arka.

Fras laughed a little. "If I have not been able to make a decision, sir, we know Sherly is rich enough, she is cunning, evil, shameless too. Am I not going to marry a rich woman?"

"But about the kid how's Fras? that's your son, you're the one who made her pregnant." Arka.
