The Angel of Wounds

Chapter 7

A young man was struggling with a pile of files on his great table. Sometimes his eyes were fixed on the laptop screen in front of him.

His work really piled up after he lived to Japan some time ago.

Tok.dok...

There was a knock outside his study.

"Lake in." He shouted without taking his eyes off his files and laptop.

"Sorry sir, this is the file you requested." Said a man dressed neatly by thrusting a map in front of the boss.

"Yes, put it down first" said the boss without stopping his activities.

"Ivan, can you deliver the contract file to Mr. Abimana's company. I have studied and signed the contract. Just say hello to Mr. Abimana, sorry I can't go straight to him." He told a man named Ivan, his personal assistant.

"Good, sir." Ivan's Law

"One more thing, please make sure the project we handle is really going well. Don't let us disappoint our clients."

"Good, sir."

"Is there any more?" Ask Ivan.

"Ah I forgot, how the result of meeting with our client yesterday. Is there a deal?"

"Sorry, Sir. They're reschedule meetings. Because they want Mr. Rama himself who presented the material." replied Ivan on top of his named Rama.

"OK, reset the meeting" said Rama.

"Good, Sir. Then excuse me."

Ivan withdrew and left the superior's room.

Just a few minutes his focus was back on work, but the ringing of his phone managed to shift his attention.

Your name is on the caller ID.

It would be a problem if it was not lifted immediately. It will sound like a long repetition later. It will even be connected again when it reaches home.

"Hello, ma." Said when the phone was connected.

"Hello, honey. Will you be able to come home early?" Ask the woman he calls his mother.

"Looks like Rama's going overtime tonight."

"Ckk.. Your excuse is too stale young man. Can't you if your work is done at home? You're an office worker, not a rodi. Your father never made up his mind overtime. Anyway mama wait before dinner."

The phone call was terminated unilaterally. Inevitably Rama has to come home on time tonight. And very forced he will bring with him a pile of files for souvenirs when he comes home later.

Immediately he pressed the intercom button that was connected to his secretary.

"Marissa, please clear my schedule after lunch. And don't accept any guests." he said.

"Good, sir." Answer secretary.

***

The road was jammed this afternoon. Maybe because of the workday. Rama occasionally glanced at the circular clock on his wrist. It had been over fifteen minutes he was still at the same point.

The sound of the horn was earthy as the traffic lights changed to green. Rama immediately drove his car.

Not long after, he got home. He honks when he enters the gate. Apparently Mr. Dodik, the security of the house opened the gate for his employer.

"You're finally home too." Said the mother as her eldest son entered the main door.

"I'm more in search of safety, than to be cursed to be a stone." He chuckled and took the hand of his mother to kiss him.

"ckk..." Decak the mother while hitting Rama's right shoulder.

"Be clean first, we wait at the dinner table." Said Diana.

Rama stepped into his room on the second floor. Soon he cleaned himself up and changed his clothes. Then get off to dinner.

At the dinner table there are both parents and their sister. Rama also positioned himself on the left of the father.

"How do you do?" Ask the father to open the conversation.

"Well, it's just that there are some files that Rama hasn't finished studying. Yep... Papa tau set up the work piled up when Rama lived to Japan yesterday." Answer Rama.

"And now it's piling up because it has to be forced to go home." Continue while muttering.

But it can still be heard clearly. As a result the roll of tissue landed right on his pointed nose.

"Good, I'm surprised ma." Rama was shocked by his mother.

"You're every weekday, not just once a week. It is impossible for work to suddenly accumulate. The reason is you." Omel Miss Diana.

Mr. Andi and Nayla who witnessed it were only head bobbles.

"Keep, how are you working with clients in Japan?" Ask Mr. Andi again.

"Yesterday the related company has agreed to cooperate with Rama's company. Email has been received by Rama."

Pak Andi mangosteen listening to the son's speech. Although Rama did not want to continue the family company, but Pak Andi was proud of the achievement of the son.

The company that he started himself, now began to show his performance. Even abroad.

"In two months, Rama and Ivan will be there to attend the shareholders' meeting. Pray everything is good."

Rama continued to suck in his mouth. Miss Diana glanced at the husband to start the core conversation.

"Rama, a few days ago papa, mama, and Nayla have been to the house of Mr. Rusdi, the father of the deceased mas Firman." Apparently Mr. Andi was very careful to convey this matchmaking to the son.

At once Rama's focus was shifted to the papa. Indeed, his parents had previously said about the match. But not once did Rama respond. He is not very interested in relationships that involve feelings.

"Alhamdulillah, Hasna received a proposal from our family. And give the whole show to us." Connect him.

"We have decided on your wedding day. Two more months, one week before you leave for Japan." Go ahead Diana.

"For concepts, invitations and so on, all become the business of mama. You are too busy, while Hasna's family only lives old grandfather. It would be inappropriate if he asked us to intervene too." Said Diana again.

There was not a word to respond to the words of his parents. I heard only the man's breath.

"What do you think?" ask Diana.

"It's up to mama to be equally papa." she replied flatly.

Suddenly the food on his plate was tasteless. The appetite disappeared instantly.

Silently Nayla watched the expression the older sister showed. He understood his brother's current position.

Little did Nayla know why her sister was so hard-pressed to accept this marriage. His sister was betrayed by a girl he had been dating for three years.

The girl left Rama on the grounds that Rama was still not financially able. If he pioneered his own business, it would be very long if he became an established man.

Finally, the woman was rumored to have married. With a man who was even her age, their papa age.

Rama really fell, and turned into a cold figure. It's like being closed. The warmth he showed in front of his family.

With an ex-girlfriend he has known for years, Rama gets a betrayal. Especially with Hasna, the girl he had never even met. How the face, nature, attitude, character, and ethics.

There is still a long way to get to know each other and accept each other. But in the depths of Nayla's heart, the girl was convinced that Hasna was the right woman for her sister.

"How, honey?" mother Diana's voice interrupted.

"Sorry, everyone. I'm done." interrupted Nayla before any answer came out of the brother's mouth. The girl did not want to interfere with this matter.

Nayla immediately went to her room upstairs.

The attention of the couple was centered on his eldest son. Realizing that both his parents were waiting for an answer from him, the man sighed wholeheartedly before giving an answer.

"Yes, Rama agrees." The answer was so smooth to hear but so heavy when he said it.

Both of his parents were so relieved after hearing the answer given by the son. A big smile rose between the two.

They were very hopeful that Hasna would be able to restore the warm figure of her son whom they so longed for.
