SECOND MAHLIGAI
Chapter 33 - The Step of Joseph
Morning at the Mahardika family-owned company. Grand master Mahardika who was attending a meeting led by the child was surprised by a message from his errand boy, if the info he requested was already in hand. He who was focused on seeing Galih explained about the latest project in collaboration with Suryabrata. Straight out of the meeting room to his private room.
Galih who saw the father in a hurry - furiously frowned seeing his father's behavior a little unusual.
“Din?” The assistant turned and stood facing his master.
“What's up?” ask Galih.
“I don't know, Sir. After seeing the phone, Big Master, stand up and go out,” he said.
Galih raised both eyebrows hearing the word mobile phone from the assistant. It is not usual for the father to bring a cell phone during a meeting. Because Galih can't just stop the meeting. He chose to apologize to the staff for the behavior of the father who arrived - suddenly left just like that.
“What's the news you got?” and asked Joseph's master to the man in front of him.
The man wearing a blue jacket complete with a white hat adorning his head gave a brown envelope to Mr. Joseph.
“What, all this accurate?”
“I'm not sure, Sir, because the woman in this photo wears a hijab so I have a little doubt but after I print, it's true she's an ex-daughter-in-law, you.”
Mr. Yusuf Mahardika immediately opened the envelope and saw the photos of the woman.
“What, is this in Jogja?”
The man shook his head, “No, Sir. Your ex-daughter-in-law is in Jakarta more or less after she remarries.”
Master Joseph rounded his eyes, “What did you say, get married?”
“True, Sir. After I search to the address you ordered. It's been almost two months, Miss Sasi, not there. She was taken in by her husband's family and settled in Jakarta. Only, the neighbors do not know who her husband's family is, because they think the marriage is also sudden. But there are neighbors who say if, Miss Sasi already know enough of the man who is editing her.”
“What, is that all?”
“Iya, Sir. I got the photo in one of the Mall belonging to Suryabrata group. But when I wanted to take a picture of her and the man who was likely her husband, it failed. After both middle-aged and your grandchildren come and take them away from the food court area.”
“Cucuku?” The man nodded.
“But, Sorry. I can't take a picture of your granddaughter. After getting off the elevator, I lost track of them.
“If viewed, from this position. Both of his in-laws looked ordinary. Their appearance does not reflect if they are rich. Then, where can he find such a reliable lawyer?”
“I haven't reached that point, Sir. I will try to find where he lives in Jakarta.” Answer the man.
Mr. Joseph looked at the photos again. He focused on looking at the face of the man in the photo. A little familiar yet he could not remember, who that person was because his position was indeed from the side.
“Ya already, give me accurate info after this. Find him wherever he is. If, his man and in-laws were indeed just ordinary people. I'll easily take Aslan back!” emphatically.
“You, can go, Bayu.” he continued.
The man named Bayu nodded and said goodbye.
***
The orange twilight that brings the afternoon into the dark of the night has begun to sink in the western horizon. Sasi who is preparing to perform the magrib prayer waiting for the call of adhan while reading Al - Qur’an. If in the past he did not have free time because he had to work another thing with now. Since living in the Suryabrata residence, Sasi began to multiply his worship. Unity and always grateful now God gave him freedom to worship.
He will not waste the time and sustenance that God has given him. Sasi did everything in an orderly manner and with a happy heart.
“Night, all?” Sasi Tegur.
“Night, Young Madam.” Lina's mother replied with a smile.
“Where, Mama?” Ask Sasi while putting the dishes and other equipment.
“Maybe still in her room, Mistress. Big Master, just came.”
Sasi nodded. He put down his work and turned to the child's room.
Tok Tok Tok
“Assalamualaikum, Aslan!” sasi Exclamation.
“Waalaikumsalam, Mah!” yells.
Clamps
“Ngapain?” Aslan shook his head.
“Solat?”
“Already, Mah. Just finished.”
Sasi asks Aslan to follow him to the kitchen to help him prepare dinner. Submissively, his favorite son took off the skullcap he was wearing and followed the mother.
Arriving in the dining room. Aslan rolled up his sleeves and began to help Rina's mother put cooking, rice and drinking water on the dining table.
“Wah, what is this?” ask Aslan.
“That's the steak of his name, darling.”
“Cow meat, Mah?” ask Aslan. Sasi nodded.
“Order, Papa, yes, Bu Rina?”
“Iya, Young Madam. When he came home earlier, Mr. Banu asked this on, Koki.”
Sasi nodded and smiled. He thought for a moment. Why not just feed a special dinner for the middle-aged, he thought.
“Bu Rina, we make a romantic dinner just make, Mama and Papa. We prepare candles as well as low-calorie juices for them. Just put some food on the table. Others grab and put again behind.”
Bu Rina smiled at Sasi's idea. He who was old had never thought of this kind of thing. He also agreed to the request of the daughter-in-law of this family and prepared everything Sasi asked for.
“Aslan,” call Sasi.
“Iya, Mah.” Answer Aslan with a mouthful of steak.
“You, like?”
“Enak, Mah.” Answer Aslan while giggling.
Sasi shook her head at the behavior of her son. It was delicious, and this time he ate it.
