THE ABOVE THE CLOUD(ABC)
42. One birthday seems like there is less...
Reksa just finished giving directions for articles to be published related to the Ares Foundation. The last three years, Reksa never missed donating to the orphanage. On one hand he wanted to collect the reward for his family; for his daughter. On the other hand, having a reputation like this includes things that are profitable for mutual companies that are growing. He decided to establish the Foundation in the end, so that he had a more purposeful purpose.
Approaching the end of working hours, Reksa, who was about to continue checking documents for the next two hours, received a report from Shain that his daughter was intending to go to the stationery store to buy something important.
What important things are needed for Sera?
Mutual frowned and replied to the message.
- Send people.
It was past six o'clock in the afternoon. Although with the presence of adults Sera can go anywhere and anytime, for young children it seems, visiting outside at this hour will not allow Mutual. Especially after the last incident, in the corner of his heart, he felt uneasy when his little princess came out of the villa, from the territory he felt safe.
Shain Guards: Miss looks rushed and is already sitting in the car, sir.
Just sat down, the car did not come out of the garage. But Shain on the other side wondered if his Boss wanted him to crush the hope of the little Miss who looked so happy?
Mutual eventually forgot his job and decided to go home early.
which bookstore?
Muta then receives a reply from Shain before packing his briefcase.
The secretary standing outside immediately saw his boss out of the room carrying a briefcase. He knew that there was no overtime today. She happily escorted her boss away until the elevator.
Heading to his car, Reksa receives a call from Sera, as usual.
“Papa..,” Sera's voice still sounds like a toddler in Reksa's ear. Unknowingly his expression softened.
“Yes, Papa is already horrified. Why go malem-malem?”
There was a moment of silence before Sera's condensed voice could be heard.
“Abima has departed Pa..,” Sera knows that her papa does not like her coming out through maghrib.
Mutual heard a very rare sad tone on his daughter's sentence. On one hand he was glad that Sera finally understood what sympathy was to someone. On the other hand, he felt sorry for the child named ‘Abima’ who was the victim, but it would be better if his daughter was not too close to the boys .
“Iya, Papa danger temen you said move?”
“Iya.. Sera promised to write her a letter. Sera also has a new address.”
Huh, he heard from Shain that his daughter only knew the boy for a day? Really fast progress for SD child size.
But he can't say that.
He could only support her for now.
“Write a good letter, but don't forget to do his schoolwork,”
“Sera will not forget.” replied Sera firmly. “Papa return home what time?”
“Papa has returned home.”
“..Oho! How, dong?” the voice across from him sounded panicked.
Sera thought her Papa would be home at eight as usual. Eat it he's gone even though it's night. Not that Reksa is very forbidding, but Sera is used to welcoming her Papa home from work.
Missing it a day is like losing something.
“Papa also has business to the bookstore. So Papa is there too.”
“Oh! Sera to Aksara Bookstore. Soon nyampe... already nyampe!” exclaim Sera. "Papa will go straight to the floor... three, yes?"
“Iya. Wait, yes.”
When the phone is done, Muta is still three blocks to the location.
As soon as he reached the location, Sera was almost done picking out envelopes and paper.
Reksa went into the mall and went straight to the 3rd floor where the Aksara Bookstore was located.
As soon as he reached the top of the escalator, he saw a petite figure coming out of the bookstore with a paper bag filled with groceries, on a handle with both hands.
Shain behind him stood guard and watched the little Miss carefully.
Mutual knew long ago that Sera always wanted to do everything herself and perfectly. He did not consider Sera carrying his own goods as a negligence of Shain.
“Papa!!”
“Plan-slow!”
Muta is young, his body shape is balanced. When he half crouched down to welcome Sera who ran into the embrace, his thigh and hand muscles were printed gallantly behind his suit and trousers.
The more so the attention is the shape of his straight jaw and his handsome face. His sharp brows made Reksa look like an elite Young Master, yet once Sera was in his hands, the face turned soft, perfectly described as a warm father. It made the people around glanced and noticed.
Quietly some people took videos.
Father and son look very good! His father looked cold but as soon as he met his daughter, his facial expression instantly changed.
Plus that face! A sight that really attracts the eye.
Mutuals rarely go out, let alone shop. Usually his assistant who takes care of the needs in the office. While at home, there was Bi Sri.
Shain himself chose this small mall because of its close proximity to home. In ordinary times he would not choose this place.
Muta was already used to the gazes of the people around, while Sera only thought of playing with her Papa; not bothered at all. Shain, he has nothing to do but the safety of his boss and little miss. The face of the female bodyguard did not show the slightest wrinkle.
Shain followed on the side. A step slower, letting Reksa and Sera enjoy some time together.
“Pa, he said here there is a place to play the game.” said Sera slightly whispered, but her eyes glowed enthusiastically. I can't wait to play.
A person who is always busy feels guilty. Some time ago he intended to go for a walk with Sera, but due to work affairs, his streets had to be delayed.
Although he intends to continue working when he gets home later, Mutual thinks this is a rare opportunity.
Originally, he himself had forgotten when the last time he played to the game center. Maybe when she was Junior High?
“Yess!”
The three moved to the ground floor and straight to the game center. It could be said that the place is narrow, but Sera only sees the crowd and colors of the machine in front. And the main thing is, he's gonna play with his Papa!
“Sera want to play what?”
Sera was seen thinking deeply before pointing to the cubic race car. Muta approached the empty cubic, but because Sera's legs were still short to press the pedal, Reksa played. Sera sat on her lap controlling the steering wheel.
“Let's turn slowly. Try it first?”
“OK!”
Shain on standby, handing over the game center card with high limit. Stay nimble, even though Sera and Mutual play all these games, the limit is still a lot left.
Starting to drive the steering wheel, Sera was a bit difficult. Mutual leads him slowly and gives directions. But his hands did not move and remained honest. Noticing her daughter turning the steering wheel awkwardly.
The dealer swipes the card a third time. Sera learned quickly, with Mutual setting the pace, Sera managed to get to the end point without taking the slightest look with the last position.
Looking at the lousy position on the screen, the little girl then realized that this was a competition. He does not accept defeat.
“Papa road slowly so we lose!”
The wronged mutual eventually played the game five times and moved to another cubic after Sera won the first place.
The next game is shooting. The gun held was quite large, making Sera difficult. But his martial exercises made Sera survive and try to hold steady. While Reksa kills many zombies, Sera shoots the most distant zombie that has a long time to get close.
Both of them lost when faced with the Zombie Boss. Sera knows they can't stay long at the game center. He did not repeat the game and went around trying other games.
Eight o'clock past five, all three went home after buying eczema at McT. All three ride in the same car, while the car will be carried by his assistant.
Sera rises first, followed by Muta. Just then, he faintly heard the female cry.
The mutual lowered the window a little, enough for him to see things outside. A few meters from their position, stood the couple who were arguing.
The woman had long hair on her back, wearing a Coral-colored canal dress. Somehow, seeing the figure of the woman, made Reksa imagine something.
When he re-raised the window, the woman managed to get away from the man, then she did not know the continuation because the car had already driven.
When it was a bit far from the mall, then Reksa remembered.
Shit, that's not Deanita?!
