89. Aunt Harriet

"Good morning.... Are you Ammo's friend?" aunt Harriet asked from the dining table. He was busy organizing the servants to fix the dining table order.

Ana was surprised to see a middle-aged woman in the house. He then answered politely. "Yes, I'm Ammo's friend."

Behind Ana, Ariel hears another woman's melodious voice. He hastened the pace, to see and get acquainted.

"I heard a woman's voice. Is there someone new staying here?" ask her to Ana.

Ana shifts, so Ariel can see who's in the dining room. And the look on his enthusiastic face faded when he saw a middle-aged woman. Even though it was still beautiful, it was still almost their mother's age.

"Sorry aunt, can I meet you? I'm Ariel, Ammo's friend," Ariel said.

"I'm Ammo's aunt" replied Harriet.

"I didn't know Ammo had such a beautiful aunt" Ariel said.

"Ignore her aunt. He's learning to be a playboy" Ana joked, quipping Ariel.

Harriet laughed seeing the young man pout funny. Ana immediately left.

"You want to jog, Miss?" theo asked after seeing the clothes Ana was wearing.

"Yes. If Ammo goes down, tell her to catch up with me!" yelled Ana while running out.

"But, Mr. Ammo has been running since half an hour ago," Theo muttered shaking his head.

"You want to swim?" theo asked, seeing Ariel passing by casually. The young man simply nodded, then passed.

"What time is breakfast here? Is Ammo not awake yet?" ask Harriet.

"Breakfast is ready at seven o'clock, madam. And Mr. Ammo was running early in the morning into the woods behind, "Theo said politely.

"If everyone has morning activities, what time does breakfast start?" ask Harriet again.

"Breakfast here, can't be sure. Who is hungry and wants to eat please first" replied Theo.

"You can also have breakfast first, Madam," Theo said politely.

"I guess it could be a little crowded, if breakfast together. I'm tired of breakfast alone" she said disappointedly.

Theo looked for comfort words, but could not find them. But he finally found something.

"Are you willing to show me Mrs Oswald's lotus pond?" theo bargain.

"Lily pool?" reset Harriet.

"Ah ... that secret pool...." Harriet shut her mouth. Can't believe being offered to see the pool that became the favorite place of Mother Ammo in this house.

"Wouldn't Ammo be angry if an outsider saw her?" asked Harriet in doubt.

"Let me accept his anger" Theo replied confidently.

"Don't do that .. I...."

"Come, I'll show you!"

Theo goes first to another wing of the house which is very rarely visited. Harriet followed Theo's steps. His curiosity was stronger than his worry about Ammo's anger.

Harriet saw several doors, quite far away from each other. Signs that the room is large.

"Isn't the billiard room, it's in this place too?" guess doubtful.

"You remember it well. The billiards and bowling room is over here!" show Theo.

"Do you want to play billiards or bowling?" Theo stood at the side of the door. Prepare to open it if Harriet wants a little sport.

"No. I don't like sports, except walking in gardens and parks" Harriet said.

"Well, we proceed to the lotus pond." Theo continued his stalled steps. The two walked back, until they came to a door. Theo took out a series of keys from his pants pocket. He chose one, then unlocked the door.

"Harriet couldn't wait to see what the famous lotus pond looked like, now.

"That's pretty...."

"Oh, there's fish too!" exclaims happily. Harriet observed some of the jumping fish and tried to head the lotus petals.

"You can enjoy breakfast there, if you want," Theo bargained as he pointed at the bridge that divides the two ponds.

"What else is there?" tanyanya interested. Followed by Theo steps up a wooden bridge painted white. The bridge is long and winding.

The sound of water rustling erodes the silence of the morning. A fountain splashed beautifully from the lotus flower statue. Many colorful fish swam around him.

Then the path stopped. "Here, Madam," Appoint Theo toward the tiny gazebo that is shaded by the vine's flowering vines.

Behind the gazebo was a tall wall covered in jasmine star vines. Arranged intermittently with cypress trees high straight towering, being a very fitting accent. Not too attentive, but also not look lonely.

"Well, I want breakfast here. If Ammo is willing to accompany me, I'll be happy, once."

Harriet had already decided to enjoy her relaxing and pleasant morning. Ammo must have asked Theo to cheer her up while here.

Ammo walks into the house with Ana. He did not find Theo, instead seeing the maids gathered in the dining room. The servants were terrified, for breaking the ban. They hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

"Where's Theo!" ammo's voice is rising.

A servant who had run to the rear had to stop and say. "Taking Madam Herriet into the lotus pond, sir," she replied, looking down in fear.

Ammo turned around and went straight upstairs, without saying anything. Ana looked at the female servants' interactions with Ammo with a questioning look.

Seeing her left alone in the room, Ana continues her steps towards the pool. Ariel must be there.

Ammo came down in neat clothes. He has to go to the office today. Theo was already waiting under the stairs as usual.

"Breakfast is ready, sir," he said.

"Did Aunt Harriet have breakfast in that pool?" ask Ammo.

"Yes, sir," Theo replied.

"OKAY. Make me breakfast. And tell Sawyer to get the chopper ready.Call Nick too!" ammo Command.

The handsome man placed the laptop bag on the middle room table. He turned on the television to see the latest information. Not much information could catch Ammo's attention. But there was one news that caught his attention this morning.

Info on the discovery of unidentified bodies in one small country, in another hemisphere. So, Ammo saved the news information, by recording it.

"One moment must be useful" he thought.

Theo serves breakfast. And Ammo quickly took it. He should leave immediately. There is a schedule to go to some places. Including applying for a visa for his trip with Herriet.

Ammo and Nick are immediately escorted by Sawyer to the location of the first meeting.

"Have you prepared your PR yet, Nick?" ask Ammo.

"Here you go, sir." Nick handed over the data he created to Ammo.

"You've set the schedule, haven't you?" ask Ammo to make sure.

"Already, Sir. Our first trip was the hotel downtown," Nick said quickly.

"good. Looks like you've been working hard. Today's meeting could be a stepping stone for you to a higher position."

Ammo pumped up Nick's spirit to continue learning as his assistant. Nick just smiled.

The helicopter penetrated the morning atmosphere of the city that began to wriggle awake.
