The Destiny 2: Extraordinary Love

Taking Care of a Big Baby (part one)

On the sidelines of the chatter of the four people, before long there was the sound of Yuan's room door opening.

The four young men and women turned their heads, looking at who had opened the door of the room.

“Do I interrupt your chat?” ask a middle-aged woman, Ana.

“Mom, why sign in again? Dad where?” ask Yuan.

Ana smiled, then stepped into her son's room with a tray of drinks and snacks.

“Your Daddy has gone to work again. As mom said, she always put the company's business before her own child.” Ana said as she placed the tray she carried on the nightstand near Yuan's bed.

“Ah, let's drink, aunty does not know what your favorite is, so just love you cola and also this snack. Oh yes, what have you eaten yet?” ask Ana.

“Me and Kai have had lunch, but did not know with Rose, she since this morning seemed to only busy herself looking for Yuan here and there.” said Nana while smiling grinning towards Rose who looked down embarrassed.

“Oh? Rose, really? You're looking for Yuan until lunch? Oh my, what a pity. If you know like that, the aunt will tell you from the beginning if Yuan did not go to college because of illness.” Ana said, with a look of regret.

“Eh, it's okay aunt Ana. Anyway, at least, I had breakfast this morning. So my stomach isn't really empty. Aunt Ana need not worry.” says Rose.

“Breakfast and lunch are different. Unless you're not used to eating during the day. But all this time, I knew that you ate at noon. So that means it's not okay, but it does need to be worried. You just missed your lunch, how can you say as if it's gonna be okay. No, it can't. You have to eat now, even if it is too late, but it is better to be late than not at all.” Yuan said.

Ana smiled, a small laugh also seemed to decorate her face. He really could not believe that Yuan, his son was very good at plagiarizing his father. It was very similar to Ray always being possessive of her.

“Rose, hear what the husband said. Look, he's already put out his argument. If he has said that, then there is no chance for you to protest. You have to know that, and also, one day you have to remember it, so that he does not get angry and will behave very childishly.” Ana said.

“Eng, so I can only answer yes? And can't say no?” Ask Rose.

“Yes, more or less like that.” said Ana with her bated laughter.

“Mom, what is mommy trying to tell her? Don't poison him with those mommy words.” Yuan protest.

“Jeez, who tried to poison his own son-in-law. Your mommy is just helping you so she can understand your language. You're that when you talk just like your daddy. It is very difficult for us women to understand.” said Ana.

“So mommy only. Anyway— ”

“Yuan, don't argue with your parents. She's your mother, how can you behave like that to her?” said Rose who seemed to dislike Yuan's attitude towards the man's mother.

Ana smiled widely, a smile that made Yuan feel somewhat annoyed to see her. But then, Yuan sighed, unable to speak anymore.

“Listen to what your girlfriend said. Rose, you seem to have to give him a lot of advice intake, so that this child can understand how to behave well with his mother.” Ana said.

“That's exactly what aunt Ana said. Yuan, in the future you have to listen to Rose's advice a lot. Your attitude is very, very necessary to be disciplined.” said Nana.

“The two of you, really.” muttered Yuan who looked annoyed with the fellowship of his mother and cousin.

“Ah is already, now, let's Rose let's go to the kitchen. You can have lunch there. Nana with Kai also came with ya.” said Ana.

“Auntie, actually— me and Kai already have to go home. We still have other business about the internship. So sorry bi, we can't stay here any longer, let alone eat together, we really can't. Sorry aunt Ana.” said Nana.

“So yes. Too bad. But Nana, you rarely come here now. Later that night promise aunt you'll come to dinner together. Don't you want to eat with your dad and your grandma?” said Ana.

Nana smiled faintly, too,

“I cannot promise bi, but I will work on it, I will try to come.” replied Nana.

“Alright if it is like that. Oh, that's it, it's okay. Hopefully next time you can promise your aunt this.” said Ana.

“Em, sure. Then, Nana and Kai resigned. See you aunt Ana, Rose and you boy, hope you get well soon for you.” said Nana who said goodbye to go first.

“We say to Aunt Ana, Rose, and Yuan, hope you get well soon and the four of us can regroup.” said Kai.

“Yes, of course. I will definitely get well soon. Believe me.” Yuan said that was responded with a smile by everyone.

“Eh it. Nana, Kathy. Me, I— then, I come home with you guys.” Rose said.

“Not.” one word is not only spoken by one person, but the four people in the room.

Yuan, Ana, Nana, and even Kai also said one word of rejection.

“What are you trying to think?! Why the rush to go home huh?! Don't like to see me for long?!” asked Yuan in a protesting tone.

“Not like that. It's just that— I came here with them. So, if they come home, I should come home, right?”

“Ck, you think you're a baby duck huh?! Who always follows and follows wherever their mother goes?! You did come with them, but that doesn't mean you can go home quickly with them. Anyway can not go home quickly.” said Yuan.

“Eh, the, but— ”

“There should be no excuses, protests or even complaints.” between Yuan makes Rose instantly silent for a moment.

“Rose, what Yuan said just now has a point. You better go home later, take care of your big baby. At least until the sun is almost down, you can go home.” said Ana, who does not usually defend Yuan in front of Rose as she is today.

“Rose, don't be afraid, nor be awkward like that. After all, won't you be staying here someday too. So get used to it from now on. You must learn to be confident, do not feel inferior and embarrassed like that.” said Nana.

“I—iya, well.” said Rose who can only resign to the current situation.

“Good. You take it easy, later if you want to go home, tell me right away. If you feel sad, just tell Yuan, let Yuan have a private driver take you home.” Ana said.

“Iya aunty Ana.” replied Rose, politely.

Ana smiled warmly, happy to hear it.

“Ah, then we'll excuse you. Bye aunty, bye Rose.” said Nana who then sauntered away with Kai.

After Nana and Kai left, the door of the room seemed closed again. Yuan turned to look at Rose who was silent.

“You eat first with my mother, after that just come to my room again.” said Yuan.

“Oh yes, almost forgot, come with aunt to the dining room. You have to eat first, because if you don't eat and get sick. Who will help aunt take care of this big baby?” said Ana.

“Mommy, who does mommy mean the big baby?” asked Yuan in an upset tone.

“Whose else is it? Of course you are. Already, come on Rose, come with aunt. Just ignore him for a while, after you eat, just help aunt take care of him.” Ana said as she pulled Rose's arm gently.

“Mommy, I'm not a big baby. Can't mommy see me well? Mom, mommy don't embarrass me in front of my own boyfriend. Mom.” shouted Yuan who was only ignored by his mother. Because of Ana and Rose, the two women of different ages seemed to have come out from inside her room.

Amidst Alex's busyness, the door of his room was heard opened by someone.

Aldo, Alex's secretary, appears to have entered the room with Yohan.

“Presdir Alex. Vice-president Yohan came to meet.” Aldo said in a respectful tone.

Hearing the name called by Aldo, Alex also shifted his focus from the files he was reading. Then he looked at Aldo and Yohan who seemed to be standing behind his secretary.

“Aldo, you can go.” Alex said as he placed his pen on the table.

After seeing Aldo come out of the room, and the door of the room was closed again. Alex began to move from his throne chair towards Yohan who was still standing near the sofa of the room.

“Sit.” says Alex.

“Ya, thank you.” reply Yohan who then sat on one of the sofas.

After Yohan sat down, Alex also sat down near the middle-aged man.

“What do you need to do to come to my room? What do you want to say and talk to me about it? Is this about Nana?” ask Alex.

“Which I want to discuss is not a problem about Nana.” replied Yohan.

Alex nodded, curious.

“Then?” tanyakanya.

“I came here to ask you something directly.”

“Oh yes? What is it?”

Before answering Alex's question, Yohan was seen holding her breath for a moment, then exhaling slowly.

“It's about company problem. The problem of embezzlement of new project funds is the project of exclusive rides construction plans near the city park.” Yohan said.

“Aaa— that problem, I already know about it. Besides, that case happened a long time ago, why did you just come to see me now? Why do you want to talk to me about it? Is there something else, that you want to discuss from the matter?” said Alex.

“Actually, it's not the embezzlement of funds that I want to discuss. But the problem of people embezzling the funds.” said Yohan.

“Oh, Hans you mean? Now he is already at the police station, also still in the process for his final trial.” Alex said.

Yohan sighed, confused as to how she was going to say what she really wanted to say to Alex. Because honestly, since then they were just rambling by discussing things that are not important.

“Alex, can you listen to me first? Let me speak clearly. Then after that only you speak.” said Yohan.

“Ck, so your max, I've always cut your word that way? Cih.”

“It's not like that, but can we be serious for a moment? I want to discuss the thing that makes the credibility of my good name tarnished, can't we seriously discuss it a little. This is very important for me” said Yohan who immediately made Alex widen his eyes.

So he already knows about Hans dragging his name in the issue of embezzlement of new project funds? — inner Alex.

“That, then just say it directly.” said Alex.

“Is it true that the man named Hans said that I told him to defend by giving him documents containing false evidence?” ask Yohan.

Alex nodded, though,

“Yes, that's right. But you take it easy, it's just a lie. Don't care too much.” said Alex.

“Do not care? How could I not care? It's about a trust. Alex, do you trust me?” ask Yohan.

Getting such a question from Yohan, Alex laughed lightly.

“Of course I believe you, how could I not believe you, while you have long served Ray and the company Tnp group. Just because of such lying words, how could my sense of disillusionment with you that has been in my heart for so long waver? You are, I told you, don't think too much about it.” Alex said as he patted Yohan's shoulder close enough to the reach of his hand.

“What if I told him to do it?”

Alex who was smiling widely, now his smile was faded like non-waterproof makeup exposed to rain water. Alex's face turned flat.

“You do not just talk vice president Yohan.” said Alex, without expression.

“Then, what if I said that I wasn't the one who told him to do that?” continued Yohan, he had deliberately hung his sentence to find out what answer Alex would say.

Alex let out a rough sigh, then seemed to loosen his tie that felt stuck to his neck.

“I believe in you. Whatever happens, even if you say ‘I did it’, I will still believe you. Since I know you won't do that, you can't possibly want to destroy this company. After all, Brother Ray also has a hundred percent trust in you, like he who has entrusted his kidneys to you.” Alex said.

“Ck, why did you mention that Chairman Ray's kidney stopped in my body?”

“I just want to. Never mind, this matter, you don't have to think about it.” Alex said.

“No need? Then you'll think about it alone? I as vice president has become my main duty to help the president. Do you want me to ignore my duties?” Yohan.

“Yes yes it's up to you. Now, you go, I'm busy, there's a lot of work to do.” Alex said as he stood up from the sofa he was sitting on, then stepped into his chair.

“Alex, let me come inside your secret investigation. I know you're conducting a secret investigation into the fund embezzlement. If you do believe me, let me come in and join you.”, said Yohan who immediately made Alex stop his steps and turned to look at Yohan.

What exactly does he think? — inner Alex.

“Yes, you can join.” said Alex, in the end he agreed.

Rose is seen eating the last mouthful of her plate. The girl then looked at a middle-aged woman who was the mother of the lover.

“It's over?” asked Ana while looking at the plate of Rose who was clean leaving no food. “Good.” said Ana.

Then, Rose seemed to come down from the dining chair, she was about to bring the dirty dishes and wash them.

“Rose, you do not need to wash it, just leave it on this table, later there will also be a waiter who will tidy it up.” said Ana.

“But, I— ”

“Already, no need to hesitate. Ah yes, aunty had told the waiter to make porridge for Yuan. You please bring it to Yuan's room. Later if Yuan asked who the porridge is made by, you just say that the porridge is made by you, okay?”

Rose looked awkwardly smiling, though,

“Aunt Ana, it's not like I wanted to refuse an order from aunt just now. But, Yuan definitely wouldn't believe it if I said that it was my porridge.” Rose said.

“Eh, why is that?” ask Ana.

“The problem is, I cook very often for Yuan. So I think he's very fond of my cooking. He is very good at judging the taste of food. Therefore, if I said it was my porridge, he would know that I lied to him.” Rose said.

“Ah so yes. How else, then just tell me the truth. But I'm sure she'll be a little disappointed that you didn't make it. Therefore, aunt told you to lie.” Ana said.

“Sorry.”

“Already, no need to apologize. Come on now, take the porridge to Yuan's room, and you please take care of Yuan huh. Aunty hand over the sick big baby to you.” Ana said.

“I—iya, good aunt.” replied Rose.
