THE ABOVE THE CLOUD(ABC)
7. CEMPEDEAK



With the availability of complete files and assistance from the back door, the process of transferring child custody goes quickly. Reksa just needs to move Sera's name down his family card.


Chacha, who is Lily's co-worker and who is looking after Sera for several days, came to the civil office after she received a profile and received a DNA test document.


Although he does not know well who this Mutual is, but hearing Joe reveal that Mutual does not want his son to fall into the hands of Erik, Chacha immediately moved his heart.


He still insisted that he would visit Sera once in a while and check her circumstances. Mutual agree.


Until the apartment is renovated, Sera will still stay with Chacha. Mutual directly give money to change his working hours and contact the party from the nightclub.


On a clear morning, Reksa opened a popular forum about babysitters.


There have been many cases where nannies molested the child of her young employer. Or treat him indifferently and not take care of him as he should. Because young children do not understand and are far from their parents, children become changed and submit to persecutors.


“How would it be if a babysitter criticized a child..”.


“If a caregiver confiscates a disabled child's aid does it include abuse?”


“I know the child at home is mistreated, I want to report but I have no proof.”


“How the effects of the mistreatment arise..”


Reading those titles, Muta suddenly felt a crisis. He could not take care of or bring his son to the office. He could only hire a nanny. Indeed many institutions that train experienced caregivers, but how, if! If happens!


He immediately typed seriously, “I want to hire a nanny for my 3-year-old son. But I was afraid to leave my son alone.”


Mutuals constantly refresh the page every few seconds. After three minutes, the answers began to appear.


still three years need intense attention from orantua, sis…


why hire a nanny? Is it because of work?


- Although the caregiver helps a lot, but not as reassuring as yourself.


Mutuals answer questions one by one.


I am a single parent. Single dad


yep


so I have to be calm.


The company is waiting again but there is no reply. He finally opened the document in a state of worry. But his mind could not focus.


When the notification rang, his hand immediately darted grasping the mouse. The answer that gave him the solution finally appeared.


- If not calm try to install a camera.


The others who read it reacted immediately.


- Also.


not illegal, is it?


- Nice idea


I also put a camera.


Mutual ignored those reactions and went straight to the watchdog list. In particular he typed the phrase ‘anak’, unexpectedly the surveillance camera for a child already exists! Right too, why hadn't he thought about it before?


Reksa then contacted Joe through the intercom and asked him to install a camera in his apartment.


After giving direction, Muta thought of something and changed her mind. “Give me information about a good camera, with superior sound and one with sensor.”


Joe doesn't understand what his boss wants anymore. Could it be that he wants to keep an eye on Erik? So important? But thinking his boss will take care of the child, Joe accepts that conclusion. So he prepared the full information. Of course he didn't do it himself.


Joe knocked on the door twice and entered after Mutual responded. He handed over information regarding the cameras, as well as the security office which was unfortunately ignored by Mutual.


“Hm? Number one looks good. I want this one.”


“How much does it take?”


“I want to install in every place. Including bathroom.”


Joe's hand that was scrolling the tablet to order stopped for a moment. He wanted to say that it was illegal. But then again, he could not ban it openly. Was this lawful in the eyes of the law from the beginning? Sighs. He secretly threw a slurred look at his boss who unfortunately caught on. Joe had to open his voice.


“Pak...this camera for Erik?”


“What?” Muta looked at Joe like he was looking at an idiot.


Joe cleared his throat and shut up. He better shut up, yeah.


“It looks good if I make my own law office.”


Joe, who had finished ordering and happened to be about to submit an additional report, provided a document that broke Muta's heart right then and there.


The moon's expenditure was much larger than the previous one, nearly five times that of the previous one. And he read that the money was flowing to dig up information. The most expensive is the Colony.


Muta should have realized that she could hire street thugs to take care of the little lice.


He's like a balloon that's been stabbed in the air for a moment.


“You mean give this what??”


Joe is determined to hide the truth. “Pak, if you do not immediately take care of the project and plan another project immediately, this expenditure will continue to grow.”


In essence, he wants Muta to work diligently. He's not a secretary for work under a boss who's threatened with bankruptcy! He wanted to be a high class secretary. The pedestal!


Mutual dreams lately increasingly lower the mood. Ever since he dreamed, he had made minor mistakes and put off a lot of work.


That same day Joe handed over a stack of documents to check. Including the continuation of minor companies that are now under their company.


He can only accept his fate.


Approaching noon, his assistant came to bring him a box of rice and coffee as usual. “Pak, today jerky and vegetable sop. Corn parchment and crackers. The pear and..,”


Her female assistant, Wana, feels something is wrong with her boss. He already thought he would be sprayed after bringing the pears, but his boss was so focused on working. Suddenly he felt guilty for cursing his boss. This is his job anyway. When viewed, his work is actually not as exhausting as those who focus on continuing to sit in a chair. His salary was not as much as his…


Wana who felt guilty too early, heard her boss talk before she touched the doorknob.


“Replace his pear with another.”


Wana guessed it. He nodded and picked up the pear before asking, “Father wants what fruit?”


“I want fruit cempedak.”


“A-what sir?”


“Cem.pe.dak.” The benevolent mutual repeats patiently without taking his eyes off the computer.


Wana, who has only been serving as an assistant for a month, immediately opened her phone and searched the nearest fruit shop in the office building area as soon as she left the room.


He found the fruit shop that was labeled as the most complete. Wana did not spend a long time and immediately moved there.


Arriving at the stall, he immediately asked the shopkeeper about the cempedak fruit. Wana itself there is no idea what kind of cempedak fruit actually.


“Waduh, Mbak, cempedak fruit has not season.”


“...” Wana was silent for a while before she realized that the fruit was not available. Because he does not know, he willingly assures in front of his boss' face. There was no way he would come back without taking her?!


“Absolutely non-existent, Sir?”


“Ngga no Ma'am. The last supply was exhausted two months ago.” the seller did not feel sorry at all to see Wana who seemed hit. He just states the facts. If she cries, who is to blame? His conscience!


Wana nodded and immediately found out what the cempedak fruit really looks like. After being noticed, this fruit looks like jackfruit. But from the reviews, this fruit is somewhat similar in texture to durian. Too bad, as the merchant said, the fruit is not in season. Wana is not discouraged and turns to jackfruit. At the very least, an outward appearance similar to a cempedak might be able to reduce his boss' anger.


Reksa glanced at the bright green fruit that is still jagged which is now in the embrace of Wana. The new Joe reports on the court proceedings Erik has been going through, understandingly taking a step back. Trying not to get involved and trying to erase his existence. From his expression, his boss was already prepared to spurt out a dragon breath.


“That's jackfruit.” said Reksa without a change in his face, but still makes Wana nervous.


“I'm sorry I couldn't find the fruit cempedak.” said Wana shy.


“You know not what cempedak fruit?”


“Tahu.” just he checked on his phone.


“They are in the rainy season. Now what month?”


“February, Sir.”


“Have BMKG checked yet?”


“Not yet, Mr.” Wana just resigned when Reksa began to ask and elongated.


“Rain season of the year is likely between October to November.”


“October to November.” Wana repeated and nodded with a straight expression.


“Say you know cempedak fruit, then why yes-yes only when I ask?”


“Kan, the father who asked.” I know too but keep telling him. Suddenly Wana became upset, of course she did not show it on the face. But those eyes, how could Muta not see it?


“That means my fault, is it? After work I have to tell the fruit what is the season before telling you? Then why tell you? Have I just pesen directly same ojek online?”


Wana felt that something was wrong but could not reverse the words of Reksa. He could only look down and listen.


“You think I can't buy food and bring my own coffee? I can. But why are you working? So that I can do something else while you take care of these things. I can also find out what fruit is in season, new fruit name, new type, I can search on the internet. You, what?”


“I bought down, sir.. but no.”.


“Buy down? Why do you do PU work? I pay you not to be a messenger, but an assistant. Got it? Assistants. Who are you an assistant to? To my. You find out what my references are, what my preferences are, what I don't like. Let someone else, ojek online kah or what is looking for the material.”


“...” but if the goods are wrong, I am again blamed. For the first time, she wanted to cry.


“I want my job to be effective, not just any want to eat I have to keep protesting, keep getting angry. Are you also lazy to hear me ranting? Does Joe not give my bio to you?”


“Still, Sir.” But on paper favorite fruit just written strawberry. But buying stoberi every day, hahh, Wana is speechless. He imagined his boss would definitely protest again.


Muta stops his tirade when Joe interrupts that there will be a meeting soon. Only then did he release the already red-eyed Wana.


The mutual exhales and closes the discussion forum on the computer. Before his eyes stopped on the budget paper this month.


Suddenly he felt that he was less assertive with his employees all this time.


Joe who saw these signs immediately opened his voice before Reksa gushed again. “Among others, Wana is the fastest responsive and quick to learn. His observational talent is also high. Although he is still young, but the prospects are good to be developed into a professional.”


“Oh.” Muta glanced at Joe from the end of his eyes. “If it's good he's out..”.


“Signature as a permanent employee has been done. The contract cancellation period is also past.”


Hearing that, Reksa nodded.


Joe who followed behind him instantly melted his imaginary sweat. As the pressure dropped, Joe pressed the trigger. “The renovation of the apartment is complete and can be occupied at any time.”


“Hm.. clear schedule tomorrow.”


“..Sir, tomorrow there is a meeting to report the museum construction process,” the process will definitely last a long time.


"The day after?"


"Lusa has a meeting to discuss the toll road design project, sir. Also meeting with contractors from PT. Ardiga," so far they've agreed. If it is delayed, it will hamper other projects. "Friday there will be only one meeting."


Mutual knows that this week is very important, he doesn't insist. “Move everything to noon, I want to go home early Friday afternoon.”


“I understand.” but Joe agrees too early.


"Also holiday on Saturday-sunday."


"Sir..," Joe's quiet exclamation ignored, Muta had already escaped to the elevator first.
