Part 34: Don't Want to Kayak Mama

"Sir, they don't want to work with us. They're afraid of losing."

Rustam threw a peanut at the man who spoke earlier. "Yes, obviously I don't want to. If it benefits them, it harms us, bego!"

A woman poured a bottle of bocardi into a small glass, which Rustam immediately grabbed with one gulp. "Lo must be pinter-pinter mode. Deceiving the enemy is not as easy as tricking women," Rustam continued to the man while dropping a glass to the bar table with a fast. "There and there, go!" he shook his hands.

Rustam picked up a pack of cigarettes and lit a stick. A moment later, a puff of smoke instantly billowed through the air. The man seemed to be calling someone. "Hallo, Valdo?" ask after the phone has been lifted.

"…"

Rustam nodded then gulped the bocardi straight from the bottle. His head that was heavy immediately felt light. His body is like floating. "Denmark, Switzerland, Vietnam, Philippines already shipped?"

"…"

"good. Beware of the sea lanes now many police. Your smarts." Rustam smokes his cigarette strongly, and again downed his alcoholic drink.

Rustam called out to a man who was having a serious argument with the three men in the corner of the room. The man seemed to ask permission to the three people and then waltzed away to approach Rustam.

"What's up, Boss?"

"How's the Viola family company's recent development?" murmured Rustam whose eyes had turned red.

The man smiled. "The code and password of the company site that you provide makes it easier for hackers to hack important data in the company. Soon we'll get additional funding for the smuggling network."

Dendy, Viola's father was scraping his coffee while looking seriously at the computer screen. "Who has changed the code in the company's operating system?"

Santi, his wife entered the room with her eyes closed. Because every day crying about Viola.

"Some have sabotaged widely and damaged the company's system." Dendy massaged his forehead, dizzy. When Santi started sitting next to him.

Santi cringing. "Who, Pa?"

"Most likely the culprit is Rustam. Before he resigned as chairman of the company. He has shared a large amount of information with unknown outsiders via email." Dendy clenched her hands furiously.

"Rustam is outrageous!" Santi bit his lower lip hard, resisting the crying. "Maybe that's why he ran straight to Paris with Viola and Rena."

"And, that's also why Viola didn't call us." Dendy kicked the table rough. "Viola is in danger!"

"We have to catch up with Viola, Pa. We have to catch up with them in Paris!!!" Santi shook Dendy's body.

"Quiet, Ma. Let's investigate first. Not necessarily they are in Paris. Papa will send some people to investigate the whereabouts of the three of them."

"We need to act fast, Pa. We gotta do something." 

"Yes, Ma, relax. While waiting for news, we save this company first. The company's system must be changed so that hackers have trouble hacking the company's website. And, Papa really needs Erwin." Dendy breathed a sigh of rage.

"But, what about Viola and Rena's fate?" Santi could no longer hold back his urge.

"They'll be fine. If Rustam isn't in love with Viola, why would he run away with Viola? If he's just after our treasure. He would have preferred to run off on his own instead of taking Viola and Rena along. Papa's sure, Rustam won't want to hurt his love." Dendy tried to calm his wife down. Shortly after, he called someone.

"Refan, can go to my room for a second!" dendy then hung up.

A few minutes later, Refan came to Dendy. The man was a little surprised to see his boss' wife crying. However, Refan did not want to interfere, the man stepped closer while looking down.

"Can you persuade Erwin to return as CEO of this company?"

After getting tired of enjoying various tourist rides at Disneyland Paris, they finally decided to stop by a cafe to order two cups of cappucino and croissant.

"Well, we're not photos, Ma. Why, anyway, Papa Rustam doesn't let us take a handpone?" asked Rena while devouring the croissant in her hand.

Viola remained silent. Actually they do not want Rena will cry and worry the house people, if they call them. So Viola decided not to hold a cell phone since he first set foot in Paris.

"Huh, it must be!" Rena snorted then sipped her cappucino to warm up.

"You're fussy all the time, afraid they're not even worried." Viola rubbed the top of Rena's head.

"Yes, don't go home. Rena misses Papa Erwin, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt-Mama, school friends."  Rena put on her face.

"You want Mama to go to school here to pinter. People who study abroad must be pinter." Viola devouring

croissant with ravenous.

"Rena doesn't want to go to school here, Rena wants to go home!" Rena again sobbed in the crowd.

"Rena, don't be so naughty, ah, Mama's dizzy." Viola glared. "You want to take your own plane back to Indonesia? Dare you?"

Rena is crying again.

"Crying. It must be crying again."

"You are big. Embarrassed by people" whispered Viola.

"Try if you're set up nice. Not easy to cry. Must be Mama Ngizinin you called Papa Erwin told me to come here. If you need to stay here with Mama Zahra to take care of you."

"It's not good here, Ma. People here speak animal languages, some use planetary languages. Rena doesn't have a temen," said Rena.

"Every country has its own language, Rena. Like the Arabic that Papa taught you when you prayed. In Paris there is also its own language, French. If we want the same communication they have to use the international language, English. You have to learn English so that you can pinter, so you can be proud of your parents." Viola gave encouragement to Rena. "Say you want to be a singer like Nissa Sabyan? You must be good at Arabic, as well as English for communication with people abroad. You want to be famous, right?"

"Mrs, Ma. But, Rena doesn't want to be a cheating expert like Mama." Rena pursed her lips.

Viola looked at Rena with a stern look.

"Udah has Papa Erwin instead moved with Papa Rustam. My friend said it was called cheating. Cheating is a disaster for loved ones. Rena doesn't want to make people sad."

Viola grunts. "Udah mama's preaching?"

"Rena is not a lecture. Rena just answered Mama's question."

"Not connected!" viola ketus.

"Sama kayak Papa Rustam, want to live a happy life and even ngeghauin family in Indonesia. Not connecting!"

"Who are you, anyway?" Viola hissing.
