The Director's Little Wife

CHAPTER 9 - Brother and Sister (1)

In Semarang.

KRIEGH.

Leah's phone rings.

"Yes Hello. Why Gaby?"

"Say, at home? I'm going over there huh?", Gaby's hoping.

"Don't, let's go", stop Leah.

"Why? I almost died of boredom on this sunny day.

Is it a date?", asked Gaby.

"No. It's not. Today is lazy again" replied Leah.

"A Leah? Lazy? Wait, wait. Why these tumbens?", Gaby was curious.

"nothing. Yeah, I closed it up, yeah, bye",

Tut's.

"What?!", Gaby is still confused what exactly she called her best friend, Leah.

"Why him? Yes already. Gini weekends at home. Gaby, Gaby. Unfortunately your fate" said Gaby as she laid her body on the sofa.

"Yo!", greet her brother. " A holiday is that all? Huh, what a pity for my beautiful sister. I don't know any girlfriends, hahaha!",

"Ck. What the hell, Brother? Rich man has a girlfriend?! The Singles leader is forbidden from insulting other singles" Gaby said, leaving her brother.

"Si*lan's. Forgot that I'm single too, wkwk", his brother laughed.

The Leah House.

"Where is Adit's sister?", asked Leah.

"He's a workspace. He and your father again had a small meeting", replied his mother.

"Little map?", asked Leah confusedly.

"Yes. You know all this time our inn, only Papa and Mama take care of everything. And we only hire people to care and serve" his mother said.

"Then?", asked Leah still confused.

"Yes going forward will continue like that. Mama hopes that Mama's grandchildren continue to support each other for the sake of this small inn of ours. I am also very grateful to everyone who works for me. Papa did buy their land but your father also allowed them to work and take care of the land. Well, even if we don't expect their grandchildren to work with us anymore" explained his mother.

"I mean Mama, inevitably there is a change in the system? It's true, Ma. This is not a job that can be inherited. Their children still have other options but to work here" Leah replied understandingly.

"That's what Mama meant. During this time Papa and Mama are calm because the one who takes care of our land is the previous owner. And you know they're good people" said his mother with a somewhat anxious face.

"So, Mama's scared?", asked Leah.

"Hm?",

Leah finally knew what her mother was worried about.

"Ma, if we're going to eventually recruit workers other than the natives here there's definitely a criterion we need as a condition".

"Don't think too much about this. Mama is the boss, Mama will choose who should work here. Hhhm, Mama-Mama don't think things through", said Leah.

"Maybe it's just you whose mind is still old-fashioned" replied his mother.

"It has. Mama take a break and get rid of all those worries. Papa and Adit can definitely be strong pillars, but with our support too, Ma" said Leah reassured her mother.

Leah sat next to her mother and hugged the woman who had given birth to her. Leah had no idea what made her mother feel uneasy so making her think of things that seemed simple became complicated.

Aditya came to approach them. Of course he was wondering what was wrong with them.

Aditya looked at Leah and raised an eyebrow hoping for an explanation.

Leah understood what her brother wanted.

Leah immediately got up from her seat and approached her brother who was standing behind the wall.

"Yuk, sister", take Leah with her hand.

"Sister, I want to ask, is there a problem with our lodging?", asked Leah.

"Nothing" Aditya answered briefly.

"His workers?", asked Leah again.

"Actually what do you want to ask?", asked Aditya.

"Mama thinks no. Mama is worried about the continuity of this inn if there are new workers but not from the residents of this area, the previous landowners. Mama is afraid they are not working to care for this place with all their heart" Leah explained to her brother.

"Ck. That's problem? Actually it does not matter if you want your workers from anywhere, the most important thing is when hiring. We can know their performance even if not completely, yes through interviews" Aditya replied.

"Yes. I said that too. Mom thought about unnecessary things. Try Brother Adit who interrogated Mama. Who knows this is something that makes Mama like this" Pinta Leah.

"Yes, when the time is right" replied Aditya.

Adity looked at Leah something she remembered, "Hey, I heard your big-boss went to Japan?", asked Aditya.

"Oh~ Yes, departed this morning", replied Leah flatly.

"Goodoo. This way you should be able to concentrate more on your exam which is only a few weeks away" said Aditya.

"If later you will get married soon after graduation, but at least decorate your diploma with the best value" said Aditya hope.

"Aren't you sure?", replied Leah dodging.

"That's it", Aditya answered confidently. "Although Roy's proposal is not yet official but Brother knows what he wants" Aditya said as he raised Leah's left hand embedded in Roy's diamond ring.

"Roy was waiting for you while he was still a pajak, you want him to wait how much longer? I don't mean to throw you out immediately. But I believe in Roy and I also believe, you can help our parents' efforts after marriage" Aditya said.

"Are you sure I won't regret not taking advanced studies to university?", asked Leah.

"Don't know. But if you want to dedicate yourself to Papa and Mama's happiness, it's not hard. Even if you want to learn again, Roy will also support you" replied Aditya.

"Hopefully. ", replied Leah flatly.

Leah stared at her ring, the ring that Roy gave her on her seventeenth birthday, exactly six months ago. Roy had personally proposed to Leah. And both of Leah's parents knew about it. Leah has never met Roy's family.

As far as Leah is concerned, Roy calls a lot. But almost never met, because before the relationship Roy and his father is not too good. Roy's father wanted him to continue the family business. But Roy has his own goals. He wanted to build an advertising and media company.

Luckily Roy is a genius brain with many relationships. Roy's reputation is indeed famous for being competent and professional since he studied abroad. His efforts that were pioneered from zero were able to progress rapidly until now.

"Sister Adit", call Leah.

"Why?",

"Thank you for being a good sister to me and a proud son of Papa and Mama" Leah said as she hugged her beloved sister.

"Hey, you're the perfect sister for me. You must not know how happy I was when Mama said in her stomach there was a baby angel who was sleeping", Aditya recounted his childhood.

"I used to be jealous when the uncles and aunts who worked at our resort brought their children here at work. They often come with their parents here. And they automatically became my friends. All brothers, I think I also want to be called a brother if I have my own sister instead of someone else's sister" said Aditya.

"So Brother Adit asked to make a sister?", guess Leah.

"Yes. Indirectly so. Mama miscarried when I was five years old. But thank God shortly after that Mama pregnant you", explained Aditya.

"I should have two older sisters" said Leah, smiling longingly who suddenly came to her older brother who was already residing in a more beautiful place.

"Yes. Youre right. Your brother has two" muttered Aditya who still hugs his sister in the park which became their favorite place when they were little.
