Reynald the CEO

Chapter 72

An hour earlier...

"Daddy promised me a walk to the mall!". Jessy, the little girl who is Reynald's daughter is sulking at the Father.

"Jeez Jes.. Daddy is busy. Take a look... Uncle Andre put this pile of files on my desk. That means Daddy has to check it out right away". Reynald tried to understand.

"If so let Uncle Andre do it! Why daddy?".

Reynald took a slow breath. He bent his body and held both sides of his little girl's shoulders.

"Sorry baby. Daddy really can't if now. If you still want to go to the mall, what if it's just Uncle Andre and Aunty Renata?"

Jessy was silent for a moment staring at Reynald but a second later the little girl cried loudly to fill all corners of the room.

"Daddy is evil!"

"Mommy's bad too!"

"Daddy and Mommy are always busy!" Jessy cried on the sidelines.

Reynald rubbed his face rough. He glanced at the pile of files that he had to check right now and his gaze turned to look at his daughter who was crying sobbing.

He closed one of his beams and opened the black coat that wrapped his gallant body and attached it to his great bench. He unbuttoned his shirt and rolled it up to his elbow.

"alright.. The billiards.. Let's go to the mall now! My time today is special for you". Reynald Sambll rubbed Jessy's cheek gently.

•••

"Aunty Anggi?" Jessy muttered as she walked while holding a marshmallow in her hand.

"Dad, that's Aunty Anggi right? I called ya?"

Reynald turned his face towards the direction Jessy was pointing at.

"Don't Jes.. Ti-i...."

"Angi County!" Shouted Jessy just like that.

"No need....." Reynald murmured, continuing his stifled speech as Jessy cried out to call Anggi.

Reynald rubbed his face slowly when he saw his daughter running towards Anggi who was standing staring at them.

"Hi Jessy's..." Sapa Anggi smiled sweetly while bowing his body.

"What's in the mall again?"

"Ah.. I'm just walking around for lunch". Anggi chuckles slowly.

"I haven't had lunch yet".

"Dad, we're having lunch with Aunty too!" Jessy turned to look at her father.

Anggi straightened his body back up and looked at Reynald.

"I don't want to interrupt your family's events. I'd better not join" Anggi said.

"It's just me and Daddy! Mommy's filming again, Aunty"

"You want Aunty?"

Anggi stared at Reynald trying to ask the man to persuade Jessy. Reynald was seen shaking his head while scratching his nape with a resigned look.

Anggi sighed slowly and carved out a smile as he turned to look at Jessy.

"alright. Aunty's coming".

Hearing Anggi's words, the little girl jumped up in excitement. Jessy then pulled Anggi's hand just like that and walked over without looking at her father. Reynald who was left behind looked at Jessy and Anggi who were walking hand in hand.

"Aunty, shall we go to the toy store? I want to buy another barbie"

Anggi. "Can. Aunty bought it".

"Jes, your Barbie toys are so many" Reynald said.

Jessy bent her face. "That's not much, Dad!"

"What is not much.. Is he not afraid of sleeping in the eyes of a row of barbies. Who knew the barbie-barbie was midnight alive and wandering in his room" Reynald muttered softly.

"gtptmover.. Hahahahaha" Anggi who was walking right by Reynald's side was certainly able to hear the gentleman's slow muttering.

"No.. Just funny"

"What.the funny?" Ask Reynald.

"It turns out you're afraid of ghosts".

"You hear that?". Reynald was surprised.

"of course! You walk by my side!".

Reynald. "I'm not afraid of ghosts"

"The only one I'm afraid of right now..."

"I'm afraid you're disappearing again with no news" Reynald said slowly as he looked at Anggi with deep eyes.

Anggi turned his face away and stepped quickly to pull Jessy's slow who was busy chewing her marshmallow.

Begifu quickly time passed until it did not feel the time was approaching 5 pm. They do a lot of fun activities. Lunch, accompany Jessy to play in the playground and shop. Reynald stared at the pile of paperbags in the back seat of his mobll. All of it is a toy barbie gift from Anggi.

"Aunty's saying yes then, Jes. You have to obey your Daddy and Mommy". Anggi's message crouched in front of Jessy.

"Is Aunty back in Aunty's country in a few days?"

Anggi nodded slowly.

Jessy looked at Anggi with a sad face. Undeniably small children can always feel the sincerity of someone's heart.

"Can I see Aunty again?"

Anggi looked up at Reynald who was looking at him with a complicated look. Anggi then turned to look at Jessy. "One day we will meet again". Says soft Anggi.

"May I have one more request for Aunty?"

"What's that?" Ask Anggi.

"Let's play barbie again with me tonight!"

Anggi gawked away so he heard the little girl's request.

•••

An hour later, this is where Anggi is. He shook his head slowly as he looked at Jessy's room which was like a broken ship because it was filled with piles of paperbags resulting from his shopping last afternoon in the mall. Various efforts have been made Reynald and Anggi so that the little girl understands if Anggi can not come to the penthouse, but various ways also the little girl sulked to make Anggi give up.

Long enough Anggi and Jessy are busy playing and rearranging barbie in place. Until the time has shown at 9 pm and looks Jessy was already looking tired. Anggi also took the initiative to help the little girl clean up before going to bed.

Shortly after, exhausted, Jessy fell into a deep sleep. Anggi who was sitting on the side of the bed stroked the little girl's cheeks. "You have two complete parents, they can buy you anything you want, but why do I feel like you're as lonely as I was as a kid?" Lirih Anggi's.

"Ehem" The sound of silence disperse Anggi's focus on Jessy.

Anggi looked up at Reynald, who was standing with his chest closed to the open door.

"Is he asleep?" Ask Reynald.

Anggi moved slowly from the mattress and grabbed his bag which was on the nightstand and walked over to Reynald.

"Your daughter is safe and sleeps well. I'm going home" Anggi said.

"Wait a minute" Reynald restrained Anggi's arm.

"Aren't you going to drink or eat something? From there on to my penthouse you went straight into Jessy's room"

"I'm going straight home, Rey. It's not good if your wife comes home and I'm still here". Anggi brushed off Reynald's hand.

Anggi just passed by leaving Reynald for the main door. Reynald then confronted Anggi's body deftly. The man stood right in front of Anggi.

"My wife.. I mean, Clara's not coming home. He was filming out of town for a week. Come onl.. I just wanted to thank you for following my daughter's wishes today"

"Your thank you request is accepted. So now I can go home, right?" Anggi.

Reynald breathed. "alright. What if I told you, I'd like to ask you for a minute tonight. Can you?".

Hearing Reynald's request, Anggi was deeply entrenched in his heart.

Why are father and son the same?
