Scavenger Becomes New Director

Stops

Julia massaged his forehead. He was sitting at his desk after returning from Cafe Central. After a meeting with a client named Mike this morning, making until now, Julia was unable to think real.

He repeatedly tries to shift his mind by looking for other activities or doing other tasks in the office. But still not able to dismiss his permanence. He tried to look at the screen of his laptop fiddling with his phone but still his vision was empty. His eyes were then focused on a blue map before him. The owner of the map is what makes it all day. And the name in the map is what reveals the old wound in his heart.

" I've calmed down here in this small town. Why did he come back to disturb the peace of heart that has been created dozens of years?" Julia in her heart.

Julia grabbed the blue map in front of her fondling to re-open the sheet. Trying to find the common thread between the owner of this name with his old wound back yawning.

When he was about to open the map cover, suddenly heard the office phone bell.

" Yes??" Julia asked after placing the handle of the office phone on her ear.

" I'm sorry ma'am. There's something I need to report." A young woman answered from across the street.

Usually only Dinda's personal secretary Julia can contact him personally.

" What's Dinda reporting?"

" There's a notification coming in ma'am. We got a 15 billion transfer from the account in Michael Haryadi's name." Report Dinda again.

"Hmmm... So he's serious? I guess he just came bluffing showing his identity, exposed my past and left." The word julia in the heart was equivalent to frowning her.

" I'm thinking if home buying is just an alibi." Julia murmured in the heart.

" Alright Din."

Julia hangs up the office phone and gets back to her daydream before the alarm on her phone kicks Julia out of her daydream.

He stared at his HP screen and he was surprised that it was time he took Serly from his school.he was indeed protective with his only child. But that is reasonable because the only treasure that is most valuable to Julia at this time is Serly.

He will soon be celebrating his thirteen-year birthday. He did not want to lose a moment from his teenage son.

Julia then moved from her desk, to the office parking lot to meet Mang Udin and a few minutes later the Toyota Innova had darted through the streets of Trenggalek city that seemed busy at 13:00 More like now.

From afar, Julia's eyes focused on the two juvenile figures standing close together. One of them is Serly's son. The boy next to her had never seen her before.

Julia was already quite late to pick up Serly because before picking up her teenage son, Julia took the time to check out the hotel that she would provide for her son's birthday tomorrow. He plans to make a pretty fancy event for the princess's birthday.

Until when he arrived together with Mang Udin, Serly had revealed her pouting face. Julia knew that of course Serly would get angry and cranky for letting her wait almost half an hour at the front stop of the school gate.

Make Julia is not the problem, not the scowling face of Serly, but a student who was inviting Serly to talk seemed to try to get Serly's attention but continued to be questioned by Serly. Seemed several times Serly brushed off the teenager's hand that was about to pull his hand.

Julia can see the action of both of them clearly because at the stop they both live. It had been more than half an hour of course almost all the students had already left the school gates and stops.

Serly's face looks tangled, shabby, tired because the hot sun this afternoon looks quite hot plus hungry whack. He stood at the front stop of his school with Jimmy his best friend in class who had not stopped babbling. Serly believes that the joke from Jimmy is an attempt to establish a closer communication with Serly as her new best friend. But unfortunately, Jimmy's chatter and babble did not arouse Serly's interest to welcome his chatter. Serly is increasingly uncomfortable and tries to distance himself from Jimmy who continues to approach him. The contents of the front stop of the school are getting quiet because almost all children have found a ride back to their homes.

" Hey... It's been almost half an hour. How about you I drive you home. Wellhh count so that we can get acquainted more familiar." Jimmy's proposal after his chatter was not ignored by Serly.

" I don't usually go home alone. If the mother is unfortunate usually the family driver who picks up. So you don't have to worry." Reply Serly coldly while continuing to stare at the streets that are still crowded with vehicles.

" Come......" Jimmy tried to pull Serly's hand.

"It would not be nice if I as a man and friend left you alone in this place."

" It's okay!" Reply Serly still in a cold tone while shaking Jimmy's hand.

" Or so. I'll lay off two ojek one for you and one for me. About the cost, let me take responsibility. We are saha....."

" Stoppp...." Shouted Serly a little loudly all of a sudden.

" Hey, the new bloon, the dirty, thought I was just talking. Do you think I'm poor, huh? Don't have the money to take the ojek to get home?" Shouted Serly holding back his anger while staring intently at Jimmy.

Getting such a reply, Jimmy just shrugged his shoulders and then passed leaving Serly who was still showing a reddened face sign of anger.

After some time Serly found the car he was waiting for moving closer to him.

Julia just stroked the chest to see the behavior of her only daughter who got into the car and slammed the car door hard. He knew Serly must be bete, angry, because for the first time Julia was late to pick up. From SD until now this is the first time Julia is late to pick up. But there is one incident that Julia must ask after Serly's anger is dissected. Because now Serly did not say a word. Julia had not had time to ask about the incident at the stop that was briefly seen by Julia earlier Serly shouted loudly.

" Ihhhhh beware you're a new student."

" What's up, baby?"

" Who is that new student you mean?" Julia tried to calm Serly who seemed to still express an angry face.

" That's the one at Ma's stop..." Answer Serly ketus.

" Oh so at the stop was the new student in your class? What's name?" Julia asked as subtly as possible and tried to pry into the incident earlier.

" His name is Jimmy Mariski ma..." Serly answered still with a tinge.

Deg

Hearing that name Julia flinched and was shocked as soon as her face turned pale.
