Rita(The Adventure of the Conglomerate Grandchild)
Chapter 134: Daniel Comes
The day Daniel awaited has arrived, from Singapore he will stop by Jakarta to meet Rita. He had been training to apologize to Rita. During the meeting, it was a bit difficult to focus because he wanted to go to Jakarta, longing and guilt were mixed into one.
“So how sir, do you agree with our proposal?” ask one of the members
“hmm...sorry, can we recess for a moment? My stomach since morning nausea” said Daniel reasoned, he brought the file asked to the toilet and then he read all the proposals
“Ah shit, why is this chest pounding all the time? I had a hard time focusing” murmured, then he picked up his phone and contacted someone
“Ya?”
“Pak Radian, I'm Daniel”
In the back came the voice of Jissoo's cry... Lisaa!!! Yenie!!!Rose!!! Saranghae!!!
“Ya Niel?” Radian closed one of his ears then moved to a quieter place
“Sorry sir again in the middle of the concert?” ask Daniel
“For the fan meeting Niel,.It just so happens that I was meeting in Japan, uh there is a Blackpink fan meeting in Korea, all of you hehehe”
“Oh yes sir, I would like to inquire about our cooperation project with OC Bank Singapore, that's how yes Sir?”
“Ah that, me and Mr. Darmawan have agreed to cooperate with them Niel, but if you can nego to ask for a credit ceiling increase, if they can raise it would be better”
“Do we have any problems with the repayment sir? The world is in recession, I think increasing the loan amount will increase the interest we have to pay?”
“Well, that's your job for Nego Niel, think of a way. We trust you, Niel!, Jeniee!! Saranghae!!” suddenly Radian shouted
“Oo is so, so the company will follow all my decisions sir?”
“Of course, we trust your instincts Niel! After the meeting, try to have fun! Don't work just!”
“Good sir!”
“I know Rita is in a state of concern but you do not get discouraged, long time she will remember you again!”
“Iya Sir!”
“Oh Yes Niel I forgot to want it, k-Pop group you like what?”
“Hmm...Twice sir!”
“Oh Twice!! Favorite idol?”
“Jihyo sir!” daniel smiled
“Alright Niel, contact me again if you have any trouble!” Radian pocketed his phone he forgot to press the off button
“Jisooo Saranghae!!” yells
Daniel kept the phone away from his ear
“One time relax sir This Radian “ murmured. He got up and began to study the proposal. Half an hour later he returned to the room
“ How about pack?” ask one of the participants
Daniel did the negotiations as requested by Radian, after considerable negotiations, finally reached an agreement, they shook hands.
“The contract will be completed a few days sir with our legal, We will contact Mr. Daniel to sign the contract
“hmm...now what day is it?”
“Now Friday’at pack, weekend.”
“Oh yes, just contact my assistant for schedule, it's time to pray jum’at, you guys also?”
“No Sir!”
“The nearest mosque here where is it?”
“Oh For Friday prayers’at in this building there is a mosque sir, precisely on the 13” floor
“Hmm...Well, thank you very much” Daniel also left for the mosque on the 13th floor
The staff and attendees whispered
“Oh Mr. Daniel Muslim, just found out I”
“Iya..so cool huh?” said one of the female legal staff
“Iya, from earlier I can not be separated to pay attention to it, the more seen the more demanding the want to see continue!”
“pak Radian is also handsome, but cold. Brrrr”
“Ah could be you! Hahaha!”
“If sir Daniel comes to the meeting, I come straight!”
“You want to watch a concert!! Hihhihi!”
“Iya right, I'm the only one the guy is happy to see, sir Daniel is interesting, nice to see!”
“Iya origin don't lick!”
“Againly Mr Daniel candy! Hahahaha!” they laughed off
After praying jum’at Daniel back to the hotel, he tidied up his luggage
A few hours later he had arrived in Jakarta, after checking in the nearest hotel with the Darmawan family residence, he took a short break. The night had come, he immediately set out towards the Darmawan residence. Arriving there, via the intercom
“Who are you meeting with?” ask security
“Ms. Rita please?”
“Mba Rita is peach at her school, just came home Sunday sir!”
“Excuse me?” Daniel does not understand Indonesian
Suddenly the gate opened, Taxi Daniel entered the courtyard of the magnificent Darmawan house.
Ridwan came huddled approaching
“Mr.Daniel?”
“Iya?”
“Mr. Darmawan already waiting for you, please come with me!” take Ridwan
Daniel followed Ridwan, he entered into a magnificent house like a five-star hotel, Ridwan brought Daniel to the 2nd floor of the house which is Darmawan's work space.
“Have a sit down please, he’ll be here soon!” said Ridwan please
Daniel admired Darmawan's office space, there displayed photos of Darmawan with several important figures of the world, even some Indonesian presidents had taken pictures with him
The office door opened, Darmawan with a scooter entered the room, Daniel stood up and approached Darmawan
(In English)
“Good Night Sir!”
“Night Niel! , well you are from Singapore directly here, not tired niel?”
“So I had a break sir!”
“Hmm..there is a need for what is Niel night-night here?” ask Darmawan for pleasantries
“I want to meet Rita Pak, I saw a video take down request from Jakarta. After I investigated it turned out in that video Rita. When viewed from his movements I think Rita's memory has returned Pak” said Daniel ventured
“Then if his memory returns you want what?”
“yaaa?!” Daniel was confused as to what to say
“Wouldn't you guys last time your communication ignored his phone so he had to call Radian for help?”
“Eh?” Daniel recalled the incident
“My phone turns off sir, because it is busy in the office”
“Really? Because he called at a different time”
“mmmm..”
“Niel, I don't want to interfere in your love affairs, I'm too old. But it's good that if there's a problem you're talking about don't disappear. If your goal disappears to cool down is good but not too long, then many prejudices will appear on your partner!”
“What Yes Sir?”
“Why do you think the video was taken down?”
“So it is not known sir?”
“Iya, so that he is not recognized by you!, but it turned out to be in vain, I forgot that to make-down must be the permission of the central company.”
“I understand your young blood is still passionate, so I want to limit your meeting”
“Iya sir?”
“Again Daniel, too dear it is not good too you know, something excessive is not good! Later if you fight also will not be good, it may lead to violence!”
“But sir, I have never done violence to Rita, nor did Rita on me!”
“Iya I know!, I Just warned as a parent, I was also once young Niel. I really love Rita's grandmother, not Metha's mother, my first wife. When he died following Eka, Rita's father. My heart was broken to pieces. If suicide isn't forbidden by religion, I'll kill myself. But then I saw Andi, my only granddaughter, now plus my granddaughter Rita, I'm grateful to choose to stay alive seeing my grandchildren mature.”
Daniel listened to Darmawan's words
“I understand Rita's feelings, since coming home from Auckland, every morning I see her eyes rubbed. Maybe he misses you, Niel. But his heart is sad because you care more about people's words than him.”
“That's not true sir! If I were like that, I wouldn't be tired of coming here after him!” said Daniel
“That's because you miss him too, but if you hear that rumor again? Aren't you going to ignore it again?”
This time Daniel was silent a thousand languages, long enough they were silent, Darmawan again continued his speech
“Now Rita is having an event at her school, she is staying there, just came home Sunday afternoon.”
“Oh so” Daniel confused what to do
“All I leave to you two, I told Rita, she must be firm about the relationship, whether or not to continue, do not hide like this. I'm just tired of seeing it, let alone you!”
“Iya Sir?”
“Tonight you stay here, I have told Ridwan to prepare a room for you, tomorrow morning I will ask Ridwan to take you to meet Rita!”
“But sir, I've rented a room at the hotel!”
“hmm...so? yes it is up to you. If you want to return to the hotel, you can contact Ridwan to meet with Rita!”
“Good Sir, thank you. I'm also sorry for worrying you!”
“Niel, I owe your father a lot, he helped me a lot while I was pioneering. That's why now you're the CEO, so it's not because of your closeness to Rita. I even know you guys were close recently”
“Really Sir?”
“Ya actually when the match me and brother Sugiyono already suspected, but we pretend not to know.”
“So? Does Mr Sugiyono object to our relationship Pak?”
“It depends on you Niel, if you steady with Rita, she won't be able to do anything. He said, Rita is a firm person, he will refuse as much as he can if he is forced. That scared him a little. Hence when he brought Rita closer to Rendy, he was very careful, he did not want Rita to fight him”
“So yes?”
“EH Niel, this is between us, but I'm curious. Are you not afraid of Rita? “
Daniel pays attention to Darmawan's eyes, whether it's a trick question or a real question
“Mmm, What do you mean by Father?”
“I saw him instantly when he crippled the man, his eyes fierce and sharp. I am so speechless. I'm grateful, for that I don't have to worry he bullied others, but I'm also worried he'll hurt others”
“To be honest sir, one of the reasons I am so interested in Rita is because she is like that, brave and agile. As a child, I often saw my mother beaten up by my father when she was drunk, Mother was very helpless. So when I saw Rita with her ability and courage I became very interested in her.”
“If he did violence to you how?”
“To my knowledge Rita will not do violence without reason sir, she once said one of her shows relieve stress through martial”
“So yeah? is he no more a guy than a guy?”
“He's a sweet guy then sir!” joking Daniel, but Darmawan did not laugh he just looked at Daniel with a serious face, so Daniel misbehaved
“Hmm..if you can know, does Andi also know yes?” muttered Darmawan
“I've allowed the video in take down Sir!”
“Well, actually it was to avoid you, not Andi. If he knew, it would have been a storm here”
“Why Pak?”
“Since Rita's personality changed, she's been very stressed. He always had a fuss saying that Rita who is now not fun and troublesome. He made Rita's face in print and then became the target of the arrow. It was because he was annoyed that Rita ruined his drone”
“What Andi is mentally healthy sir?” ask Daniel to worry
“Insya God is healthy Niel, I have also consulted a psychologist. I have a personal psychologist for my grandchildren, I want to detect their mental health as early as possible. So far they are healthy”
“Alhamdulillah!”
“Oh yes Niel, I heard you have officially converted?”
“Iya Sir!”
“Since when?”
“Since a month ago Sir!”
“What are you steady?”
“Insya Allah Sir, I have also prayed five times and prayed jum’at”
“Good then!, but if you break up from Rita, it won't go back to your old religion right?”
“God willing not Sir!, I've been thinking about it for a long time. Actually I have converted since on duty in Dubai first, but not seriously sir. After I saw Rita and Andi worship, I became interested and wanted to explore Islam more deeply. Now I am learning to teach Pak”
“Ooo..Thank God, may you be a good priest for Rita ya Niel, May you be a match!”
“Aamiin Sir, thank you. Excuse me sir, I want to check out from the hotel and stay here”
“Oh yes, alright” Darmawan hit the bell, Ridwan came over
(in Indonesian)
“Ridwan, please ask the Imam to take this Mr. Daniel to his hotel and come back here. You just follow Imam can not speak English”
“Good Sir!” Daniel follows Ridwan leaving Darmawan's room
(In English)
“Include me Ridwan, the head of this housekeeper!”
“I'm Daniel!”
“Daniel? Ohhhh,..That Daniel sir?”
“That's it?” Daniel is confused
“Iya, his girlfriend mba Rita, waahh, I finally met with the character of both”
“Meanings Sir?” Daniel asked for clarification
“I heard about you from mba Rita, but she never told me that her boyfriend was this cool!”
“Thank you sir, Rita does rarely praise ya?” daniel smiled
“No wonder yes, mba Rita is often sad. If I leave school in the morning, I always see her eyes as swollen as crying. I thought it was because of the box lens effect, but I think I just cried.”
“Oh yes? what's the reason? Did her school stress her out?”
“Kayaknya not deh, even he was very excited when leaving school, mba Rita said he was happy if busy can forget the burden on the heart”
“Ooo so, oh yes sir, tomorrow can you drop me off to see him?”
“But mba Rita stayed at school pack Daniel”
“Yes, can you make excuses so I can meet him? I want to straighten everything out Sir!”
“Tomorrow I try sir, but it's good I didn't say you came huh?, because last he said about ghosting, what is it?” ask Ridwan plain
“Ghosting? Oh that means disappearing without a trace Mr!”
“Oh so, so mba Rita wants to disappear without trace” muttered Ridwan
“Hmm..so apparently” Daniel muttered
“Then I will not stay tonight Sir, please take me to the hotel. I'll be back in NZ tomorrow morning”
“Eh but Mr Daniel, said mr Darmawan?”
“It's okay I will explain it to him!”
“Alright Sir!”
The car Ridwan and Daniel drove to the hotel, but they separated. The next day Daniel returned to Auckland, delaying meeting with Rita
