I walked up to the group that had passed me, walking hastily past some security people. Up in a closed room. I'm sure this is the room that will be used for the meeting.
“Sorry ma'am, you are not allowed to enter” A security prevented my move
“my brother Mr. Fatih, I no need.
Let me enter” I take a step forward
“but sorry ma'am he has no brother, mother do not confess-ngaku” he said again. throne reigns here. This big man looked at me with a sharp look.
“how do I have to prove that I am his brother” I deliberately challenged this security officer even though my guts are not great. But my resolve is unanimous, I'll ask Bang Fatih for an explanation. And proving with my own eyes that sri is monica. Dan bang Fatih is CEO of GLOBAL GROUP.
Suddenly the door opened, I saw Reno coming out of the room.
“ibu syafira” said slowly. His eyes glared sharply at me. He seems to have misbehaved. Her face is tense
I was about to enter, the officer who had been holding my steps he stood before me by stretching out his hands
“sorry mom should not go in” she replied with a firmer and scarier face. But not for me. The pain of being lied to takes away the fear in me.
“Let him enter” it sounds Reno I don't care, as soon as I step into the door followed reno behind me.
“good evening all monica news and how is the CEO OF GLOBAL GROUP” said after successfully logging in. With a tone that I made as graceful as possible. I can stand the tears that will spill
I saw three people in this room.monica, bang fatih and the man who was with monica.
Everyone in the room was shocked, they stood up reflexively. The most nervous look was monica. While the other man looks ordinary.while bang fatih looks surprised but only briefly.
Then he can control himself again
“Monica, how can this happen?” tanya bang fatih firmly, who was asked looks wrong behavior.
“Sorry sir, I said I'd be home three days. Therefore this meeting I held for the next three days”that monica voice. There was no sri who was plain there. Her face looked much different. With the spread of thin makeup the woman looks graceful.
“who can explain here, why do you all have the heart to lie to me” I said in an angry tone
“And you, what should I call
now sri or monica” I said staring at the sharp monica. He looked down, not saying a word from his lips.
“abang yan will explain all, sorry others can come out now” it sounds bang fatih. The man looked calm as usual.
It is precisely I who is unusual, because it is being controlled by anger.
“why the night-malm fira is still outside, we can talk about this tomorrow. Rania how
Who's guarding?” she said in a soft tone after staying the two of us were in this room.
“if not in this way, until when my brother will lie to my fira” with tears that I can no longer contain.
Why is my water so easy to flow when I am near this man.
“abang only helps fira, to be able to be independent it's just” he said still with a soft tone
“Can't you let the fira be proud of his own efforts just once, how stupid the fira in front of brother. “kataku stalled tight in this chest, forcing him.
“two of the most hateful things in the world , being lied to and being loved. And my brother did it at the same time. As for what is mira until you have to pity fira by making a coordinated lie” my tears are getting louder, I hate this man. I am sick of it.
The good he offered hurt my heart.
at first I was proud to open a small business. Wishing it all could be great someday, of course with my efforts and abilities. That was before he intervened.
But now, what I can be proud of for myself even to stand alone must be helped.
“abang does not consider fira so, precisely brother is proud of fira” he said
“Proud of stupid fira and can't do anything” I said quickly.
“besok brother will explain everything, now go home. It's already malam”
“sorry bang from now onwards brother do not meet fira again” I said to pass.
He pulled my hand
“Abang will tell you all but not now, brother is still meeting. Tomorrow wait for your brother at your workplace. If you don't want to meet brother let monica explain everything. I'm sorry you didn't want Fira to misunderstand. My brother never thought of fira as stupid or sad. My brother is proud. Fira can patiently face the household storm, able and standing upright until now”
I didn't care what he said, stepping out, past the guard I saw Reno and Monica there all looking down their heads.
Monica followed me behind
“let me take my mother home this is too late” He said
“don't care about me, before there is you I'm used to myself. So don't make me look weaker” I replied firmly, don't forget my gaze which seems to kill him.
“sorry ma'am, I just followed the orders of Mr. Fatih” ahirnya out also that recognition
“I don't need any explanation from you” continued me as it passed
“I will explain it tomorrow at the office. sorry once again” he said as he caught up with me behind.
“don't worry me, continue your role as global financial director “ said I, there is an affirmation of the word in the director's statement. Just wanted to show you how much I don't like the play. The woman stood stiffly in her place after hearing my words.
Why people choose to lie rather than be honest. Do they forget that the lie will eventually be revealed as well. And if that happens, then lost the trust that they have been guarding.
Riding a matic motorcycle to get home, I knew behind me a car with the GLOBAL logo, followed me. I am so weak in front of the GLOBAL leaders. What they have on their side. So annoying.
At 12 pm I arrived home, tired of the bathin birth that I felt. What I had to do again. was gone already pride in myself. Confidence flew away just like that when it realized that I was just a weak human being who could do nothing.
Bang fatih, that man is too deeply interfered with my life, I know he is good, but I am not as weak as he imagined.
Lost pride in my achievements so far, I guess I am an independent woman who can succeed because of my own ability it turns out she did it behind my back.
With a giant step I entered the house, my husband looks fresh in his clothes. Seeing me he came straight to me hugging me tightly.
“if not fatih who contacted me maybe I do not know where to look for you again” he said weak right in my ears.
“maaf” is all I say. I feel tired, but my heart is more tired than that. I feel the weakest creature that can't do anything now. The spirit of life was gone in an instant. The plan that I put together for the progress of my efforts in the future evaporated just like that.
“it's okay to rest, you must be tired, or want to take a warm bath later mas prepare”he said again.
“not to think, what he did was for your good also Rania” he said again.strangely this man, why now not angry I met bang fatih, he said, it's not that he doesn't like it when I'm close to fatih.
“dia did that because of me, if I had never been a little dua maybe fatih would not have been too into our household” from where she knew this story.
“bingung ya, your brother who told the mas just” he said while staring at my face then kissed my forehead gently. re-hugging me tightly.
This morning I tied Rania's hair, after being neat with her school uniform. The right and left two pigtails are my daughter's favorite hairstyle
“mother, later Rania if you have grown up want to marry the same brother can?” he asked with a plain face facing me, his clear eyes flickering looking very funny
“who's brother?” ask her. Only now did I hear my daughter call that name.
“itu temennya aunty kirana, who often bring Rania toys that many” huh, lest-don't...
“like what his face dear” asku curious
“people are tall, white, wear clothes kayak om which in the movie often mother see on laptop” he said again. I'm increasingly sure kirana also lied to me
“if at home aunty kirana, sometimes alone, sometimes the same aunt monica”my daughter's answer further adds to my belief, if what kirana means is bang fatih.
***
“forgive me mbak, not that I intend to lie, but this is because fatih's brother asked” said kirana after I drove Rania. I purposely drove him along and wanted an explanation as to why he was involved.
“before the revelation of the affair mas amir, bang fatih came to my house. Please take good care of Rania, make her feel at home to stay here he said at the time. I didn't understand what it meant at that time. Until the end of this story everything. I just understand it turns out bang fatih so want to protect mbak, even before mbak know the problem” he was silent for a moment
“i have suggested to tell everything to mbak at that time. He said he could not see the wounded man, but fatih himself was still confused what to do. Kirana covered everything. What we did for the good of mbak syafira” he continued
“but I feel like I can't do anything. Only weak beings need to be protected. What bang fatih did was excessive ki, mbak feel useless” replied I lowered my head. It turns out they all just follow orders.
“if mbak fira knows the face is tangled, and his injuries bang fatih when he first came here, mbak will definitely pity. There was no choice for kirana not to help her” she said again.
Back to the store, it means back to listen to the explanation of monica. I don't know who he's going to be today in front of me. I should just call her the director's mother or sri.
“good morning mbak” said politely. Ah, she is monica apparently, missing already sri's face is plain without make up.
The woman stood up to welcome me while bowing her head. And lifted back up after I sat down at my desk. The first day I faced this woman with her true form I felt awkward.
There is a sense of inferiority in me, it turns out I am nothing compared to the woman who wears a cream hood, beautiful this morning.
“how was his holiday in the village, was it fun” I he knew this woman insinuated me. How insolent. I can stand the laughter of wanting to explode, learning from whom he mocked me so.
“ very pleasant mother monica, I saw someone who suddenly changed face in front of me in one night” I replied back insinuating him. I saw him holding his laugh too. It's funny to hear us talk so formally.
“i just run the orders of men who have saved my life, this is how I return the favor to him. If only the threat of dismissal I received might I be able to defy. But what did the men who had already lifted me from the men who almost plunged me into the black valley” I was wide-eyed in disbelief, what the hell is this woman.
“please, don't use monica. In front of me you keep sri”kata I break the awkwardness.
“when he attended the meeting in the bali, I and Reno accompanied. It's just that, when the dinner I had my own event. Suddenly at 10 pm I was contacted asking to cancel all the meeting schedule for that day and the next few days. We confused me and mas Reno asked each other” he said silently his gaze looked up
“the most pity mas Reno, the arranged schedule must be completely overhauled, not to mention endless calls from potential investors. And some companies that intend to do capital cooperation with GLOBAL, we can not do anything. I can follow him back to Jakarta. During the journey he was not stopping to curse. Insolent words, bastard, jerk have been spoken countless times. We were scared back then” the woman took a deep breath as if she was releasing a squeezing burden.
And from the lips of this woman flowed many stories. What a fool I have been all this time, I should be able to read those who come to cooperate with a little coercion. There is a fatih bang behind it.
note: the next chapter is draining the emotions that are not strong please be patient, please,
And the sri story continues, .
