THE ABOVE THE CLOUD(ABC)
35. He was just pouting, in fact...
As soon as he came home, Sera immediately ran to the room. Bi Sri's and others' efforts to comfort and persuade her did not bear fruit. Wana returned to the office after receiving the toy and pudding order.
Bi Sri could only stroke Sera's head. The little girl refused even the touch of her favorite babysitter. His wish at that time was only one: Papa.
Even if a vacation to the playground, or for example allowed to eat a favorite food for a month, the girl just flinch.
Sometimes his attitude like this made Bi Sri worried. Her little miss was more mature than any other child, but her reserved side was too dangerous to be left alone.
Bi Sri glanced at Shain. Receiving the gesture, Shain nodded. Bi Sri then went out, leaving Sera alone for a while. She intends to cook Sera's favorite menu for dinner this time.

Sera thinks something's wrong with her
His chest was angry. He wants to destroy the whole room. He wanted to throw the dolls in his room out the window and cut out all his Papa shirts. He was afraid of slapping Bi Sri's hand just now that she didn't dodge quickly.
Why is he like this?
He's not really a good boy.
Could this be one of the things why his Papa wanted to leave him? Only his Papa didn't just say it and planned everything secretly.
He felt that Brother Shain standing behind him was laughing at him. Maybe Bi Sri also judged Sera annoying in her heart.
But Sera thought again. It's impossible, right. He knows what Brother Shain is like. He also knew what kind of Bi Sri was. He also knows what his father is like.
His papa clearly said that the one loved by the world is Sera!
But his father was with the woman. His mother who was there must have cried because of it.
Traitor!
Sera first felt a deep feeling of hate in her heart. His father did not remember his mother at all and instead went to look for someone else.
Sera could not describe the disappointment in her heart. She recalls the times she still lived with her Mama. A lot of time has passed, she only remembers the moment when her mother cried alone.
Where was your Papa at the time?
Sera felt her invincible papa shadow begin to collapse.
Sera did not think so. But now that he was grown, he could already understand a few things.
Sera drowned herself in the blanket without a sound. It would be nice if she went with Mama.

Before dinner, Reksa had arrived home. It was very difficult for him to do during this busy time.
However he did not see the small figure who always ran to greet him that time.
Muta understood, but on the side of her heart she felt sad. Bi Sri helped him pack his suit and bag.
Mutuals do not need to ask before Bi Sri reports.
“Nona Sera keeps in her room and doesn't come out at all. From pas come to now, Miss just overslept in bed.”
“....Sera didn't say anything?”
“Nona just diem in room, Sir.”
Sera's quiet side Reksa discovered a long time ago. He only thought that it was because Sera was rarely exposed to the surrounding environment and lacked socialization. Sera also still often cries when sad.
But everything that concerns his Mama, will make Sera so quiet instantly. The same thing happens when a mutual appointment picks up. Sera was waiting in the yard, with one child and one mother waiting for an invitation. Usually Sera would wait in the classroom with Master Ma, but because she was impatient, Sera waited outside. Bi Sri was away briefly checking the schedule of Kindergarten activities for Thursday; because there was a security guard, she was not worried.
Unexpectedly, the conflict continued. The boy who waited with his mother said that Sera had no mother. It was not wrong, but little Sera was offended.
Muta is called to come to school because Sera pushed her friend down. There may be further complicated problems, there may also be hurtful words until Sera does so. Mutual did not blame him as long as Sera did not do so because she wanted to oppress, for example.
Light fights between small children can happen and it is not a strange thing. But Reksa received a report from his teacher. That Sera pushed down the boy, just as a car was about to enter the school gate.
Fortunately, the driver was not slow, and he watched the turn carefully.
The car stopped five inches right on the child's side of the face, making a mess of things instantly.
When he was taken to the office, the boy cried and Sera also cried. Parents demand mutual responsibility.
No one would have thought that Sera did it on purpose; even worse– by calculation.
Mutual did not dare to judge that Sera did it on purpose. In the corner of his heart, he defended himself. If Sera did that because she was a child, then this is a serious matter. But he also thought, a small child who said bad things to Sera just as—tak be on a trivial. Although the weight of the problem is different.
Mutual immediately solve the problem and pay money with a large sumla. But he also demanded an apology for the little boy's words.
Reksa just asked the mother of the child so that the child changes schools. What a ridiculous and surprising thing. But with the money that Mutuals give up, they receive.
The problem is finally over.
It's just that Mutual did not dare to feel relieved. The old dream he had forgotten he finally remembered again.
Reksa had a long talk with Sera that night, though she doubted if Sera understood. Mutual keep trying.
From then on, he had always been careful about this topic, as well as the people at home.
“Pak want to eat now?” tanya Bi Sri's. Muta simply swung her hand before visiting Sera's room.
He turned on the light and walked to the side of the bed with slow steps. He pulled out the blanket that covered Sera's chin, worried that her breathing was closed.
Muta rubbed it gently, before looking down and kissing the top of her daughter's head.
Once out of the room, Shain who had been changed with casual clothes was immediately called to the Mutual workspace.
Shain starts the report when he first enters class. Starting from friends around, circumstances, and teachers. The number of staff and the history of the teachers in the school is already in the hands of Reksa.
He also reported on the name of the game that was played today. Muta. Actually for the sake of controlling his daughter, Muta installs and plays the same game. He was also in the same alliance, yet his existence was more like a ghost player. The last two days he has not been able to go online because of his busy life.
Finally got to the topic when the two decided to leave for the Mutual office.
“...” Shain scrunched his face, an expression that Mutual had almost never seen.
“I can not repeat the chat in the previous office. But I have the tape.” for him, those words are too evil to say to a six-year-old.
Reksa was astonished to hear that. He received the recording documents to his phone but did not listen directly.
After Shin resigned, Reksa opened the recording.
Blue veins are clearly visible on the arms of the Mutual. He sat listening with earphones, one of his hands propping up his chin, while his eyes focused on the surveillance cameras in Sera's room. The experiment lasted only a few minutes, but once it stopped, the recording repeated automatically.
He only heard Shain interrupt, but his little girl did not hear his voice at all on the tape.
Mutual felt angry at himself, remembering Cecil's seemingly ordinary face; fooling him in broad daylight. He himself probably wouldn't believe it completely if Shain said this with his mouth. But the evidence is clearly there.
Although he would still check it if there was no evidence though, Muta would not feel this angry.
Really ridiculous.
Mutual exhaling long breaths. He leaned back in his chair and remained silent for a rather long time, before he finally called Joe.
Joe, who is still in the office, receives a call from his boss. His heart was ready since his boss came home first.
'Finally the phone boss too.'
Joe as a reliable secretary is ready to clean up any mess. He no longer panicked.
“Say the Coastal restaurant is popular and delicious?”
“...” Joe who thought his boss would explode immediately, did not expect to receive the question in such a calm tone. Could it be that his boss would take someone there? Miss Cecil? Miss Sera? Family event?
“Iya, Bo–Pak. The restaurant is quite popular and frequented by influencers.” Joe typed a search for a Coastal Beach restaurant. "Mr want to book there? The closest Coastal Restaurant is on the branch.." usually the one who does this is Wana. But Joe wants to do it with pleasure, if instead he can avoid the problems his boss usually produces.
“Say the restaurant is not halal.”
“Which is possible, Sir. The restaurant has been certified, really, Mr.” Joe answered immediately. He's opening a restaurant website, of course he knows.
“...” Mutual did not answer.
Joe who received the silence felt his back cool down instantly. He is not among the majority, but he knows very well how sensitive it is about halal/haram food. Even if it's not true, if rumors spread, it's over.
And his boss wants to trap…
Joe held his breath.
“Says that restaurant is so in the K.” City area
Holy ****. His boss is vile and merciless.
It's a crowded area with boarding schools.
“You guys create related articles.”
“Good, Sir.” To be honest this is not the last time Mutual has been cruel.
Only usually his attitude was based on defending himself and hitting the enemy who was about to attack him.
Joe found out who owns this Coastal Beach Restaurant. In his heart he wondered, who would dare to disturb this monstrous lion…
Wicaksono Cahya.
A wicaksono? Why does he know this name?
Joe rounded his eyes and realized. Doesn't Miss Cecil have the last name Wicaksono?
Joe shook his head. Truly a vile stabbing technique! Joe praised his boss inwardly.
Wicaksono's family holds a position in the House of Representatives seat. In addition to being a state servant, the Wicaksono family also has a business that is nothing but a restaurant. Coastal Beach is not immediately famous, but the name goes up little by little and its branches on the island of J are already around fiberusan. He said they intend to open a new branch off the island.
Joe doesn't know what's going on. His boss is still cooperating with the Wicaksono family even to this day.
He was sure his boss was intending to dig a trap for them.
From the information (gossip) that he received, he said his boss had tea with Cecil.
Joe doesn't know what's going on, but he's sure of one thing: Little miss.
There's a fear in Joe. His boss won't sacrifice the company for the sake of little Miss, will he?
If so, he just hopes his position will not change and his salary is not compromised.
