The Charm Behind the Mist

Obstacle 2.

~Happy Reading~

On the other hand; Ichad is driving his bike to the house of Almh Bu Florens. Because it was called by Carren to make him a little late departing from his rented place. He was asked by Sisil to come at six and it was almost six.

When he arrived at Bu Florens' house, he was awaited by Mr. Frans and his children, Maxi and Sisil. "Good afternoon." Ichad greets after getting off the bike and puts his helmet on the terrace.

"Good afternoon, Ichad. Come on, come in." Maxi returned his greeting and let him into the living room. Ichad walks in following Maxi without understanding what is going on so he is asked to come.

"Please sit down, Ichad. Sisil make a drink for Ichad's sister." Maxi lets Ichad sit down. Sisil walks into the kitchen with his face bent, but his heart is irregular and sees Ichad really coming.

While waiting for Sisil to make a drink, Frans invited Ichad to speak. He knew Ichad was the first to help his wife Almh decorate with Miss Nancy. Until he knew her well.

"Sit there too, Sisil. There's something we want to talk to you and Ichad." Maxi restrains Sisil who is about to return to the back after putting Ichad's drink on the guest table. Sisil sat back in silence, without looking at Ichad.

"Look, Ichad. I asked you to come here, because I want to hear from you. Why don't you come to work again after Mama dies. I thought you could help me grow my business." Maxi started the conversation.

"Look Maxi, as long as we work with Aunt Florens, we are not civil servants or office employees who must enter every working day. We usually come to work if contacted by Aunt Florens, that there is work for us. So as long as Auntie doesn't call us, we won't come." Ichad spoke while looking at Maxi seriously.

"It happened until now. Because we were not contacted, so we did not come to work. We were thinking, maybe Auntie's gone, so there's no more work." Ichad wouldn't say that Sisil didn't tell them. Let it be settled between them as a family.

Maxi is shocked to hear what Ichad has to say. Because Sisil was working after Bu Florens died. And they've been decorating in some places. He looked at Sisil who just looked down and was silent.

Frans also looked at Sisil when he heard what Ichad said. He began to realize something was wrong with Sisil and his work. He persuaded his son Maxi to give the job under the responsibility of Sisil, because Sisil had been working with his wife.

"Sisil, can you explain this to us? Why don't you tell Ichad about the work you've been doing?" Maxi asked consecutively while staring at Sisil who had already raised his face.

"I don't think Ichad's sister wants to work again after Auntie doesn't exist. And also, the work is only small, so it doesn't take a lot of people to work, sis." Sisil tries to defend himself and look for reasons that can be accepted by Om and his Cousin Brother.

"Is Ichad the one you didn't tell me about, or is there something else?" Maxi asked suspiciously, because when Sisil had trouble yesterday only with the five of them. What about Akri and Rosna who are not with them.

Hearing Maxi's question, Ichad bowed silently. He understood, it was not his intention for the Bu Florens family not to hire them. But it was Sisil's maumya as expected by her, Akri and Rosna.

"Akri and Rosna are also not to be told, Brother." Answer Sisil slowly. He could no longer dodge Maxi's question. Because Maxi is waiting for his answer.

"So you deliberately didn't hire the old guys, who already worked with Mama? Do you know, these guys were the first ones to work with Mama?" Maxi asked emotion upon hearing what Sisil said. He did not expect Sisil's behavior to be that bad, because he always spoke kindly and sweetly with his Papa.

"This is the result if Papa always helps and defends him all this time. He is big-headed and applies arbitrarily to others. He didn't respect and didn't appreciate Mama's hard work all this time." Said Maxi, while looking at his silent father knowing the behavior of his father.

"Now, hand over the Mama card that Papa gave you. With what happened yesterday and today, we don't trust you to continue all this. So give up everything related to this job." Sisil stood up and took out the ATM and CC Bu Florens, then handed it to Maxi with a heavy heart and gerundel.

"If you're holding cash, hand it over. Because I'll pay Ichad and the others. If you can't manage the effort, ask Papa or me. Don't fight, it destroys everything. After this, also hand over all the records of the exiles you made when Mama was sick to this day." Maxi was not satisfied to scold Sisil, because he was very disappointed with what he did.

"Ichad, how much haven't you paid and maybe Akri and Rosna? Let me pay first, and then we'll talk about something else." Maxi feels bad for Ichad.

"Look, Brother Maxi. Actually Aunt Florens never held back our wages. After he finished his job, he paid our wages. He owes us no wages. Only the last time we worked was unpaid, because he fell ill and was taken to the Hospital. That wage, the three of us have already given it." Ichad said, because that's what Akri and Rosna told him.

"Can't Ichad. When Mama got sick, you guys kept working on finishing the decor. Sisil has received payment from the client. So you have to accept the pay." Maxi only thought about it, after hearing Ichad's explanation.

"Sil, did you pay another employee for the job at the time?" Maxi asked Sisil back, because given the fame they were not paid for it.

"Here, Brother Maxi." Sisil said slowly, fearing Maxi's anger.

"Then why don't you pay Ichad, Akri and Rosna? What are your wages?" Maxi asked, angry. He sees Sisil sharply, ashamed of Ichad for his cousin's behavior.

"You're outrageous. The wages of the one you only ate. You won't take anything from me. Papa hear that? Do not let people continue to do wrong, it will be difficult to distinguish right from wrong. Because the wrong is often justified." Maxi said as he looked at his Papa, firmly.

He knew that his father often helped and defended his relatives from his family. Because it's not just now that it's happening. From the moment her mother was alive.

"Ichad, call the three of you, let me pay you and leave Akri and Rosna for you. Later I will contact them to apologize, their wages have been held up for quite a long time.

"Now we're talking about Mama's decor work. I know, you guys started it first with Mama. Can you continue now? You take Akri and Rosna with you. I'll leave the responsibility to the three of you." Maxi shows his attitude in front of his Papa and Sisil. Mr. Frans was silent, without comment because he himself was embarrassed and disappointed with Sisil, his uncle.

"We apologize, Maxi. We're working now, so we can't work here anymore. We thought it wasn't forwarded anymore, so we've been given the trust to decorate elsewhere." Ichad resists, Maxi's trust.

"Are you working with Carren and Aunt Nancy now?" Maxi guessed, because she remembered her Mama's tithe for Carren.

"Yes, Brother Maxi. Carren has been working for the three of us. So now we've been working with him. So sorry, if the three of us can't work here anymore." Ichad said slowly.

"Well, I'll call Carren and Aunt Nancy later to talk. Thank you for coming here. Please give me your number and Carren's number, yeah." Maxi said, calm down. Hearing that, Ichad gives his phone number and Carren to Maxi heartily wonders.

Sisil heard what Ichad said with a rocky heart. It turns out that Carren still works as a mentor and has given jobs to Ichad, Akri and Rosna. He will soon have to find a job.
