The Charm Behind the Mist

Asking for Help

~Happy Reading~

After coming from the Biantra family home, Mr. Sunijaya was rushed to the hospital because his blood pressure rose. Bu Biantra could still breathe a sigh of relief, as his Papa could still be helped. So nothing happened that worried his extended family.

In her solitude in the hospital, Bu Biantra thought she had to do something to prevent everything from falling apart. When she remembered that, Ms. Biantra remembered Aaric's words. 'When you look at your chirping and your family, you can measure how much I love that girl.' Ms. Biantra was surprised. 'Did what happened to his company there was Aaric behind it?' Bu Biantra.

'Yeah, that girl. Maybe that girl can help me. I did everything I could to prevent getting deeper.' Said Bu Biantra in the heart.

With a dampening of embarrassment, the next day Ms. Biantra went to Carren's office. When he arrived at the office, his office was closed. Neighbors said all employees were out of town. Ms. Biantra came home disappointed 

Carren and all of his employees are still in Bandung for the wedding reception which is the responsibility of his WO job. They will all return to Jakarta after the wedding.

Bu Biantra is not desperate, circumstances make him have to take risks whatever will happen. Karema now, all the doors of solution or solution seemed closed to him. All I see now is that girl. Ms. Biantra could not forget Aaric's hand grip on her hand and fingers, when referring to the girl.

A dozen years ago, he did not commit such a bold action against her. He just fought in silence, then left. Now he blatantly threatened, without being seen facing his own mother.

'Why wait for my destruction to know he loves that girl? The grip of the hand no matter who he was had proved he loved the girl.' Based on the thoughts that arise, Bu Biantra plans to return to meet Carren as his only opportunity at this time.

'Maybe Aaric will change his mind and help him, if I act kindly to that girl.' That's what's in Bu Biantra's desperate mind.

.***.

On the other hand; Carren who had returned from Bandung, did not rest again as planned. After arriving home Sunday evening, Carren went to bed after a bath due to exhaustion.

The next day, she wakes up early to be picked up by Ichad earlier than usual. Seeing that, Miss Nancy immediately prepared hot water, so that Carren could take a warm bath. Miss Nancy knows her daughter is tired.

"Let's have this breakfast before Ichad comes to pick you up." Said Miss Nancy while putting hot drinks and breakfast, bread with eggs like her daughter's favorite. Carren hugged her Mama as an expression of affection and gratitude, for understanding and supporting her.

"Arra, why don't you rest today? Tomorrow we're in better shape." Said Miss Nancy who saw her daughter was still not fresh as usual.

"We have work to do, Ma. Because some time in the future Arra wants to get out of town. There was a new client who hired us when we met at the wedding yesterday. Help me pray, yes. Hope everything is good and we all stay healthy." Carren said seriously and tried to calm down, so that his mother did not think about his condition.

"Yes, Mama always prayed. His name is a parent, what else can happen when his child is already living independently. Just pray, that everything her son does will be successful and blessed." Miss Nancy said fondly, seeing her daughter who had to work hard for her life.

Not long after, Ichad came to pick her up to leave for the office. "You're going to Bali?" Ask Ichad when they're on their way. "Yes, Brother. I'll go on a survey like they asked. So that we can know the place and how much it costs." Carren said, before getting out of the car, because they had reached the office.

All employees are busy with their duties. When Carren was busy in front of the laptop to see again the design of the room to be done, suddenly the door of his study was knocked. "Masuu... What's up Ros?" Carren asked, looking at Rosna who had entered his room.

"Sister, the mother who once came was now downstairs." Rosna said as she walked up to Carren's desk. "Which mother ever came?" Carren asked who did not understand what Rosna meant.

"The mother who came was not a business, but a personal matter." Said Rosna remembering the words of Bu Biantra at that time. "Oooh, that mother." Carren did not explain his words, because he already remembered Mama Aaric who had come to see him.

"Have you told me I'm here?" Carren asked who felt hard to meet Mama Aaric.

"Yes, Brother. Abis his mother still wants to wait, even ask for the address to the house of all brothers." Said Rosna, somewhat annoyed at the attitude of Bu Biantra.

Carren's forehead folded, hearing what Rosna said. "Then let's just meet him so that it's not long and snaky." Carren said following his employee jokes for people who like to meander.

Rosna followed him from behind, and after below he walked away without being asked again by Bu Biantra or Carren. "Good morning, Mom." Carren said politely, then sat across the table, in front of Ms. Biantra.

"Yes, good morning." Said Bu Biantra, making Carren who had been sitting down, look at him with a surprised face. Bu Biantra's friendly greeting made Carren so wary.

Carren is watching Bu Biantra well. Without speaking anything. He was just waiting, what would Bu Biantra say. "Is Carren busy today?" Bu Biantra asked kindly, seeing Carren just sitting quietly in front of him.

"As you can see, we're all busy, because we just got back from out of town" Carren said, looking at all the employees downstairs

"Ooh, I don't think Carren's busy, taking lunch." Mrs Biantra was friendly and familiar. Bu Biantra's words and attitude made Carren alert and shudder. The person who is fierce and arrogant, suddenly happens to be friendly and pretentious.

"Thank you for the invitation, ma'am. We're working a lot, so all lunch at the office." Carren refused in a way that did not offend Bu Biantra, and also so that Bu Biantra could understand his condition.

"Actually, I'd like to ask Carren for help. Maybe Carren can help me." Said Bu Biantra quietly, suppressing his embarrassment.

"Would you like to ask me for help?" Carren asked in surprise. He thinks what he can help. About money, Miss Biantra must be the warehouse.

"Yeah. Maybe Carren can ask Aaric to help me." Ms. Biantra went straight to her goal quietly and shyly.

"I ask Mr Aaric? Didn't you say it wrong?" Carren asked with his brows furrowed, not understanding what Bu Biantra meant.

"I'm not wrong. That's why I came here to talk to you. Maybe you can help me." Mrs Biantra's words are getting slower, but Carren doesn't understand. He tried to be calm by taking slow breaths.

"Look, Mom. What Mom said, I don't understand. Didn't you introduce yourself to me, that Mother is Mr. Aaric's Mother? Why didn't you ask him yourself?"

"I am not Mr. Aaric's wife or girlfriend, so I can ask for something from him. I told you at that time, I do not let my wife or boyfriend, friends only not. So you're wrong to ask me for help." Carren said firmly, because he did not know how to say anymore.

Bu Biantra was speechless hearing what Carren said seriously. So he thought, could it be that he had misinterpreted Aaric's words and actions? But her little heart was telling her right what Aaric said. Bu Biantra immediately stood up limp and flattered. The only chance could not help him.

Before Bu Biantra stepped up, Carren stood up to escort her to the door. "Mom. I told you, Mr. Aaric is not a gentleman. If Mr. Aaric is the son of Mother, do not let him know, Mother came here and asked me for help. He would be ashamed if he knew. Because I myself feel ashamed, if my mother does something like this." Said Carren, then opened the door for the silent and lowered Bu Biantra.
