THE ABOVE THE CLOUD(ABC)
44. Deep in the eyes close in the heart<3
The thing to be grateful for after Reksa realized that Deanita's daughter was born is, Muta did not dream. The dream always appears like a warning. Mutual assess that the step so far has been right.
The week was as usual.
Muta checks the schedule and finds that next week he has to go abroad. Unlike before, his work this time took a week.
Mutual directly upset.
At the same time, Wana entered and conveyed information about the dinner and a list of important guests who needed more attention.
Wana finished delivering the report. Since her Boss hasn't invited her, Wana is still quiet on the spot.
“Bapak want special menu this afternoon?” wana said pleasantries because it is not strong with long silence.
“...” Sitting mutual leaning against the back of the chair with hands propping up the chin.
His boss often showed a straight expression like this. People thought he was not listening, yet once he made a mistake, his eyes would instantly turn sharp like eagle eyes.
“...Hm.”
Wana had no idea that this time Mutual was really daydreaming.
“Where are the preparations for Negeri H later?”
“Currently, Mr.” because it has been planned in advance, Wana and other groups of secretaries arrange the schedule as optimal as possible.
Hearing that Reksa let out a long sigh. This was the first time he had been separated from Sera for so long. He hasn't said anything at all. If he did not open the calendar he would completely forget and just disappear.
His daughter will be sad.
Muta waved her hand and Wana walked out of the room.
It's actually not a big deal for Sera to take a week's clearance. The last incident made Reksa an unwarranted parent. He wanted to take Sera with him.
Yup.
Isn't Sera still first grade SD? In first grade, Muta was still playing and not learning at all. A week of school is no problem.
But he had to keep asking his daughter's opinion.
After informing Shain, Sera receives a call from Reksa during the afternoon break.
“Papa!” the little girl's voice was always excited every time Reksa called.
“Em, how about at school?”
“Regularly.ask at home, because there is Papa.”
Mutual had often heard this phrase, yet he never stopped feeling happy to hear it.
She was sure her daughter would be willing to come along without her having to ask. But since it's connected, all of you.
“Papa has a job abroad next week. Sera want to come with?”
“...Out of country?”
“Iya, cool you there is snow,”
“Papa long there?”
“Engga long time, just a week.”
“.. What is Sera school?”
“School later Papa ask permission, it's okay, kok.”
It didn't take long for Sera to give an answer.
“Engga, aja Papa depart.” as if not enough, Sera added. "Sera won't come."
“???” Muta dropped his phone and looked at the name. Is this really his daughter? The daughter who always wanted to stick to him?
Muta's face was already wrinkled worried but his voice remained stable when the phone was stuck again to the ear.
“Why?”
“...Sera should be school.”
“...” Muta could not say anything about his daughter being more responsible than him.
“Betul don't want to come?” he wants to sell compassion that he is lonely and alone. But he thought it was too embarrassing.
“Um. Papa's work, Sera's school.”
Alright.
The two exchanged a few words before the connection was broken.
Mutual thought, did he educate his daughter too hard? His daughter was very understanding about work and never troubled him.
Muta felt a little melt his heart.
***
The day of the departure of Reksa finally arrived.
Although Sera had school that morning, she had permission to drive her Papa to the airport and was about to enter at the fourth hour of the lesson.
Mutuals who feel lost so slightly treated.
At eight past thirty, Wana reminded to get ready.
Sera who played the crossword puzzle on the tablet with her Papa, instantly raised her face.
His expression was ordinary, yet his eyes were staring at Reksa blankly.
Mutual then realized that it was not just him who felt heavy.
Yesterday Sera felt fine. But the closer the day his father left, Sera felt even more sad. Muta also realizes that her daughter is not as happy as before.
He thinks there's a problem with his friend. Apparently because of her?
“Envigorous school, eat do not miss, dreadin what said Bi Sri, yes?”
Sera closed her mouth not answering. With red eyes the little girl nodded slowly.
“Let's Papa come home with souvenirs. Sera want what?”
Sera was silent for a moment. She shook her head and hugged her Papa tightly.
He didn't want to be taken home. He just wants his Papa.
Muta felt her heart weaken, she almost exclaimed at Wana to just cancel….
Wana who was standing a few meters away from the father and son felt his nape cool down. Fortunately, that feeling was only a few moments.
“Where to play to waterboom?”
“Waterboom?” hearing that, Sera's grief was diverted.
“Yes, you know waterboom? The water play place.”
“Oh!!”
Muta opens the tablet and shows the vehicle in question. Seeing him, Sera's eyes immediately sparkled.
The little girl nodded in excitement.
The two laughed happily and exchanged jokes..
Wana.
“...Sir.” he calls carefully.
Muta glanced over from her shoulder with a cynical eye that she obviously disliked.
Me: I was just reminding.
But the farewell must happen.
When Reksa did the checking, Sera finally couldn't help but cry.
The little girl stared at her Papa's departure in silence. Bi Sri who hugged Sera felt very difficult. Sad to see her mother crying.
But Sera was not noisy, or calling her Papa. Just staring at Reksa's back while being as bothered.
While Sera felt the week was unpleasant and lethargic, Reksa had no time at all to wail.
He was introduced to a local businessman and got an unexpected important project. Business trip that was a week in length of three days. The sliding work piled up and he only had time to call Sera once every two days at the end.
At eleven p.m., Reksa arrived at the airport and was escorted home by his dry and exhausted assistant. As soon as the door rang, Bi Sri who had been informed of his master's return was immediately busy moving.
“You eat, Mister?”
“Air angel aja.”
“Good,”
Muta stretched his sore body after sitting too long on the plane. He put his bag on the sofa before moving into Sera's room.
But the small figure that should be on the mattress is not visible at all. Muta sighed helplessly and moved open the closet.
But Sera does not exist.
He started to panic and checked the whole room.
“Bi!”
Hearing his master's thunderous cry on that silent night, Bi Sri jumped in shock and immediately ran over.
“There was something wrong, Mister?”
Muta pointed at the empty bed with a reddened face holding in anger. Without saying anything.
“..Oh!”
Oh?? I can still say Oh!!
“Looks... Miss is in Mr.”'s room
Hearing that Mutual anger instantly extinguished.
“Hah?”
“This week more every time I clean, your mattress is always a bit tangled. I thought maybe Miss was playing in Mr.”'s room Bi Sri had never expected Sera who was sleeping obediently under her watch to sneak up and sleep in the Mutual room all along.
“Please excuse me, Sir. It's my negligence.”
“–Ngak..,” Mutual held his forehead and waved, embarrassed. He felt a little guilty for being already angry at Bi Sri, thinking that Sera was lost under his watch. Fortunately, he did not go on a rampage.
“This is warm water, Mr.”
“Still.” Muta nodded limply.
Bi Sri knew that her employer was only worried and did not put her to heart. Muta let Bi Sri go before she went to her room.
Sure enough, when he turned on the light, Sera was asleep in the wide bed alone.
“...” Muta felt anxious but his feelings were more dear.
As Sera wakes up at five and prepares to sneak back into her room, she sees her Papa sleeping by her side.
The little girl immediately exclaimed and jumped into Reksa's stomach, making him glare awake instantly.
