THE ABOVE THE CLOUD(ABC)
25. All new, like Lebaran
The new villa was not that big when compared to the other villas around. Two levels, with green grass throughout the front yard, have not been planted anything. While the entire area is bordered by an iron fence, at the back is fitted with long yellow bamboo to cover the view to the outside. There are small swings and simple slides, with bridges and the like. Mutas have only just begun to plant one tree in the back; it is currently only knee-deep.
The other floor consists of a kitchen, dining room, living room, one main room, and one guest room that is located opposite each other, and two empty rooms near the kitchen made temporary rooms for workers. On the second floor there are three rooms, and one recreation room. One for Reksa's workplace, one for Sera's room, the other for Sera's toy room.
It's just that, since Sera was a child, she thought her room downstairs was better. Wait until he grows up, then move up. So one room above is vacated for the guest room. Three bedrooms each with a bathroom, although outside it there is one bathroom also near the kitchen.
To the north of the recreation room, out the glass door there is an outdoor swimming pool and rinse area.
He said, even though the villa has good privacy, lately many idiots are flying drones to peek.
Muta didn't put up a canopy, but he prepared an air rifle. On a special balcony next to the swimming pool, in pairs of telescopes (to stare at the stars), ahem, of course not to scout drones if passing by.
Is the use of air rifles allowed in this villa area? As long as no one knows, does not hurt people, and is not used for evil, there is a way. After all, it wasn't just Mutuals who kept rifles at home.
While when he is not at home, there will be others watching. In essence, if a drone, er, or a suspicious one passes in the air when Muta is not around, that person will represent to shoot him. Although Mutual doubted whether it would be true anyone would pass.
The Mutual Project continues and as it grows, she has only one child, Sera. If there is no accident, Sera will also be the successor. If his daughter wants to.
Mutuals are also not no enemies. An umbrella before the rain. Therefore he started to hire a personal bodyguard for Sera starting tomorrow.
**
Sundays should be holidays, but for Reksa who holds tens of thousands of employees under him, holidays are just moving places of work. He still remembered the amazing numbers that haunted him earlier.
Next year the plan is that the Mutual office will move to a wider building while the old office building will be rented to subsidiaries under its auspices.
Only, this new building was far from Sera's school and far from the villa. From the beginning he chose this villa because it was close to the school complex, he did not have time to consider the location of his new office.
“...” Muta glanced at her daughter who was drawing up a beam from the tail of her eyes.
“Sera, babe, here.” It feels a bit embarrassed to call that too. But in the forums he read, occasionally calling a child with a call of affection was necessary. Mutual stay eliminates the shame of just doing it. Didn't he say 'honey' often'? Although the target was different. Ahems.
Sera, who was called, turned her head straight, got up and ran a little before sitting on the side of Reksa and looking at him straight. Position ready to listen.
“....Sera wants to move schools?”
“Moving??”
“Move it, Sera get into new school.”
“New school? Old school?” hows it?
“Sera old school lives in.”
“What?” isn't that so evil?
“Sera changes schools to be close to Home.”
“This house?” sera asked as her index finger pointed downwards. The gesture looks sweet, like forcing an adult with a small body. Adorable and adorable.
“Our house now yes only this one.”
“Yang long?”
“The old ones in person.”
“...Oh..” the look on Sera's face shows sadness but only for a moment. His face was serious again.
“...” Mutual blinked once. “So Sera wants to change schools?”
His daughter opened her mouth and said uneasily. “Later Sela can not play.. play with Alvin.., Dio.., same Tim..”.
“Sera can still meet, just not one school–,” wait, it looks like something is wrong? His ears caught it right, right? The names Sera mentioned earlier seemed to be all male names?
“Who is Sera's name? Try calling itin, later invited to play at home.”
“...Kekey, Lala, Farah,”
“Not, not that one, that one was.”
“Before Kekey.”
Sera thought for a long time before answering.
Since some time ago, inexplicably Mutual has a shadow that Sera actually understands further than the understanding that Mutual guesses. Sometimes the face shows intelligence at once . ingenious, yes. Canny. (Defusing to call it sneaky.)
But maybe it was just his feelings?
“Keyla?”
“...” Mutual breathing. He put down his documents and carried Sera on his lap.
“So want to stay there or change schools?”
"Can you please look there?"
Muta also realized that Sera began to smoothly speak and compose words. According to him, Sera's intelligence was unparalleled. Mutual chest swollen so proud.
"May stay there, may go to a new one. But the new Sera can walk. Five steps from home."
Sera: ??? It seemed like those five steps were very, very, very close?
Sera feels weird but looks like a new school is okay too?
And said close to home, Sera could wait early for her Papa to come home.
“Sela want school deket Papa.” okay, change schools as much as anything is not a problem.
“Papa also want to move workplace. So not there anymore.”
“Home balu, skolah balu, kelja papa balu, all balu?”
“Em, yes, smart Sera. All new, right it.”
Sera nodded, signifying agreement. The little girl saw her father exhale deeply.
Sera thought, what made her Papa worried before this? People exhale when there is a problem.
Sera doesn't know why. But he breathed.
“Let's meet new friends, new teachers..,”.
Sera looked quickly. “Bu Ilna?”
“Bu Irna, yes, there, in her old school.”
“Sela want to be with Bu Ilna.”
Before being able to whine, Muta had already compromised. “Iya, later Bu Irna take home to eat with Sera ya.”
“Bu Ilna to lumah Sela?”
“Iya, but Miss Irna can't go to Sera's new school, nothing?”
Whether consciously or not, Sera just nodded happily, thinking about the first meal schedule at her house with her favorite teacher.
Mutuals are unsure whether Sera will remember or not. But his laptop on the desk had started recording video ever since the two started exchanging chats.
He is not no energy to persuade and give reasons such as Sera forget and cry later–because it must leave Guru Irna.
He just wants Sera to start learning to obey the agreement and start understanding ‘alas’.
Mutual just not aware, the little boy nature does not accept when they do not want–even though the facts are in plain sight.
The day of eating together in the new house finally arrived.
