THE ABOVE THE CLOUD(ABC)

52. New stuff to use, not to keep

Mutual never thought his family would need him. Thinking of how arrogant blood was inherent in them, Muta was right about that thought.

During these nearly ten years, including the six years after he brought Sera, they lived each other's lives.

So, don't tell me he's a strange, heartless person when doubting his own family.

Of course they also know the origin of Sera, it's just that the Mutual company was still crawling under the food chain. It's too small for them to care.

And now, it was too late for them to protest and so on, because Sera had entered under her Family Card. 

Mutuals could calm down, in this meeting, those people would not act rashly. Even their material will be confusing his daughter. 

Still, meeting people you don't like is not fun.

The report from Royal was finally received.

There is currently a change in flow for key economic holders in BR City, where the Mutual family lives. The stock of the Triyanto family company decreased dramatically after ‘main’ friends in their ministerial ranks were discovered and revoked. 

Plus the establishment of new entrepreneurs from Tekvi Inc, many factors began to be devoured in the last two years.

Mutual thought his family deserved to be called a reliable power holder, still not bankrupt until now.

It's just that the most vital problems occur within the company.

“...” Mutuals see this company not completely dead. Perhaps they wanted him to open up capital in the city he was in, or help with; connections, for example.

Mutual glances at the watch. 

Techs.

At nine o'clock, Sera entered the villa in training clothes. Her face was healthy with sweat sweat. 

“Have finished his training?”

“Sudaah!”

“Today we'll play.”

“Main??”

“Yup.”

“Wow, wow, wow!” This past week Sera was happy not to play. His father was always there every time he had breakfast, and during the day Sera was always invited to play in various places.

“Main where, Pa?”

“...” Mutual stringing sentences but not finding the right word. “Later also know.” says Short mutual.

“OK!  Sera shower and change clothes first!”

While Sera was getting ready, Bi Sri prepared a snack in the form of fruit and biscuits. Because the lunch hour is soon, Sera can only eat a little to replace the energy used in sports.

Mutual packed his laptop and documents before saving them back to his study. Ten minutes later, Sera had still not appeared.

Mutual knocked on his daughter's room before opening the door. 

Her daughter was sitting in front of the dressing table braiding next to her hair.

Lately since Sera's hair has grown longer, she doesn't like other people touching her hair. Mutuals are of course the exception.

Even Bi Sri could not touch it.

If Reksa does not exist, the little girl will do her own hair.

“Papa!”

“Hm. Here let papa braid.” Mutual thought about what causes Sera to become like this.

He recalled after he took a photo of Sera when he first bought a kodak camera, since then Sera does not like her hair held. Like afraid that his hair would be damaged if touched a little.

What did Sera say at the time? Would he send a picture to his friend?

Is correct.

A few days later, there was a change in her daughter.

Didn't his daughter always exchange messages with Abima's boy?

“...” Muta guessed the reason, but he wanted the reason to be just nonsense.

Forgetit.

“Where is Papa's braid?”

“One more, Pa.”

“What color do you want?”

On the table, lined with rubber and clasps of various colors and shapes. Sera usually classifies each of these flops in a day. For Mondays tie the sun's hair, Tuesdays butterfly flops, Wednesdays star bands, and so on. Because school children are prohibited from using jewelry that invites danger, Sera only wears accessories that are on average made of ordinary metal.

“Papa did you give me another box yesterday, try using that one?”

“But it's still new..”

“Papa buy it to use.  Not in save.”

“...Okay.”

Sera opens her new jewelry collection. Actually, it's been a long time since mutual purchase. But because Sera is not old enough and there are rarely Mutuals to accompany, the jewelry box can only be given now.

It contained flops, hair ties, bracelets, necklaces and the like. The motif is sweet and small, with an average ingredient of white gold. Some bracelets were combined with precious stones.

“Sera which one to wear?”

“This!”

Sera pointed at a pair of special rubbers in pink. At the end there are strawberries made from rubies. 

“Oke.”

“Aready?”

“Ready!”

****

“Me and Sera had lunch outside. Bi Sri cook just as necessary, yes.” said Reksa and got into the car.

Today Shain took a leave of absence because he felt dizzy that did not stop for the last three days; so Mutual drove directly to his destination.

Sera was already second grade, and she refused to wear a child seat.  He sat in front of his father. Especially for this outing, Sera wears an overalls and a short white T-shirt with a similar picture to her hairband: strawberries.

“Sera today as a strawberry girl, right?”

“Hehehe.”

I don't know since when this less caring daughter became fond of grooming. Again mutual can only lead to one person.

Maybe that Abima boy said something in their letter?

Seriously, they're still second grade SD.

Reksa thought he should check out his daughter's letter.

The streets were crowded then. The mutual only stops at a red light, the rest of the journey is unimpeded and counted fast. 

He stopped his car in front of a roadside office that was not so flashy. The opposite section is allocated specifically for parking so he does not need to be confused looking for spots.

The look is rigid and the banner says ‘Detective Office Amar.’

Sera was not disappointed at all with their destination. For him during the play with Papa, anywhere is not a problem.

Muta helped her daughter open her seatbelt before getting off and walking towards the office.

“Sera know not, what is this place?”

Cling. The mutual opened the door and went inside.

“Huh?” Sera tilted her head and looked at the small building in front of her. From the outside the magnitude is not far like ordinary shophouses. But going inside, the room inside was spacious enough to accommodate a team of 12 people, including receptionists, rest rooms and rest rooms.

“Papa's place of work?" Sera guessed half unsure.

Mutuals do not correct and just say. “This is the place to find a lost child.”

“Haah? Time anyway?” Sera just heard. But maybe, because he lacks knowledge?

“Papa no lie.”

“Em. Papa never lies.” Sera nodded seriously.

“...” sudden awareness of mutual heart like pinching. But he never lied, at least to his daughter. Ahems. 

“If there is a person whose child is missing, they come here for help.”

“Not the same police?”

“Police can also.  But the police do a lot of their work. If Papa's office is this one, especially for finding children who are lost.”

“Wow!”

“Oh! Mr Reksa!? Good morning, sir!” Seeing Reksa standing in the reception room with a little girl, made Agung suddenly nervous. 

Since the first time this office was established, Reksa only came once when opening. 

Agung is the only member who has ever struggled in the police. He sits in the research section. Wherever it is, it doesn't matter.

What is clear, now he is the leader of this Detective Office with young seeds who have just graduated from the police academy but do not intend to enter the police force.

Mutual has the help of insiders, can be said this office operation when the beginning starts to stand fairly smoothly even though there are little obstacles here and there.

“Sera, this is Great Uncle.”

“Halo.” Sera nodded at the man who was standing upright like a statue in front of her.

"Om the Great who became the Chairman in this office. He leads where to find the children, where to go, who to meet them, and so on."

Sera's eyes that had initially been judgmental because of the attitude of standing Agung perpendicular looked strange; turned sparkling with admiration.

“Great Brother, this is my daughter, Sera.”

“Oh, Ha-hello, little miss–I mean, Miss Sera.” this is because Joe who if calling her, always calls this little lady, little lady. He got carried away!

Fortunately, Reksa doesn't mind.

Of course Agung knows who Mutual. And he had heard of the angel Sera being the antidote to tame this one raksha.

Without thinking long, Agung welcomed Sera with great enthusiasm.

“Nona here to play? Want Uncle Anterin look around the office ngga?”

Sera smiled simply. 

I thought the little girl was ready.

He was actually rejected!

Although he did not detect any ill intentions, Sera wanted to go for a walk with her Papa. Today was a special occasion for both of them. So he could only reject the offer of a good uncle in front of him.

“You don't have to worry. I'm here to tell you what kind of office Sera is. Just continue the work.”

"Good, Sir. Then I retreat first." out of habit, Agung respect first before turning away.

Mutual: ....

Sera: ....

Papa is so cool!!
