The Dream of the President

Nama

Niko left Commissioner Gusta's room. Today was a very busy day for Niko because she had to take care of all the company acquisitions that Commissioner Gusta had planned for his granddaughter. Niko could already imagine how troublesome she would be when the long-awaited baby of the entire house was present.

Niko walked back to her room. This day, Niko did not rest at all. After arriving home this afternoon, Commissioner Gusta immediately asked him to discuss some more things.

Lita looked at Niko who was walking across the main house towards the back of the pavilion. He looked out the window of his room. For some reason, Lita was curious when Niko came back because she had not seen him at home since. In fact, he had no intention of meeting Niko. He just wanted to make sure that Niko had returned home.

Niko was close and passed by Lita's room. Lita hastily closes the window curtains so that Niko does not realize that Lita has been peeping since. Meanwhile, Niko stops right in front of Lita's room door. He was silent for a moment. He was wondering if he could see Lita for a second. However, then he stepped through Lita's room.

After arriving in the bathroom and showering and changing clothes, Niko leaned on her bed. He took a cell phone and checked some work for tomorrow. He was silent for a moment. Then, he called someone from his phone.

“Halo.” The voice across there greeted Niko.

“Lita.” It turns out that Lita was called by Niko.

“Yes, Niko. What's up?”

Niko turned her brain. She doesn't really know what to say to Lita.

“Niko?” Lita called back.

“Ah, Lita, I would like to inform you that Commissioner Gusta plans to present her surprise gift at the time of the welcoming return of Madam Shasa from the hospital after childbirth.”

“Then?” Lita has not understood the direction of Niko's conversation.

“I hope you keep this a secret from Madam until the time comes.”

“Ah... alright.” Lita answered briefly.

“Lita, I think you'll be more busy after Madam gives birth later.”

“Why? It feels, President Leo will hire a special baby guard for his child later.”

“The needs of Mrs Shasa will also be more and more when her child is born. Commissioner Gusta has ordered not to miss a single thing that Mrs Shasa needs. You should reconsider if you want to return to your apartment.”

“Oh... So you mean, I shouldn't reconsider my plans to return to the apartment this week? If indeed the Madam needs me later after she has given birth, it does not rule out the possibility that I will stay here again.”

‘It's not that easy it does affect Lita.’'s decision Inner Niko. She knew very well how resolute and hard Lita was towards herself. Hearing Lita's plans to return to her apartment this week, Niko disturbs her mind to find a way to keep her at the Gusta Family home.

“Yes, actually, back to your decision. Just consider whether it is more troublesome to stay here or in your apartment.” Niko's Proposal.

“Are you asking me to stay here to be close to you?” ask Lita suspiciously.

“If yes, what will you do?”

The question from Niko made the two hang in silence. If this conversation continues, it can be long everywhere. Lita can't answer him because she hesitates to be honest about her feelings, while Niko is still silent waiting for Lita's answer with anxious expectations.

“Haris, can't you just bring them here?” Leo is seriously talking about his job with Haris' assistant in the office.

“It will be difficult, Sir. They also have a busy schedule. It is not easy to bring them from abroad. The proposal from them, better the meeting is done via video call.”

“If the meeting is via video call, it will be a hassle to negotiate with them. On the other hand, I cannot possibly leave Shasa alone in the moments leading up to her birth.”

“Based on the doctor's note, the estimated date of Mrs Shasa's birth is still about 3 weeks from today, Sir. If we speed up the meeting, you can come back one week before Madam gives birth.”

“I'll have a discussion first with Shasa and the doctor. If the conditions allow, you can immediately prepare my departure abroad.”

Leo took the phone and called Sam's doctor.

“Sam, can you come to my house tonight? You should bring Shasa's obstetrician as well. There's something I want to talk about Shasa.”

“Ah, okay. I'll come to your house around 8pm.” Doctor Sam was silent for a moment. “Leo, Shasa is fine right?” sam's doctor was curious as to why Leo called him. In fact, obstetrician Shasa was also asked to come along.

“Hey, what are you thinking? Of course he's good. I keep it tight.” Leo was heard nagging to answer doctor Sam's question.

Doctor Sam grinned. “Gosh, I just asked, Leo.”

“I hung up.” Leo immediately disconnected his phone.

Doctor Sam just cursed the caller who contacted him. “I just asked though. Why is she so sensitive like she's pregnant. Ish!”

Leo's impromptu job makes him dizzy because he has to go abroad to finish it. A project big enough to expand abroad, he could not easily pass by. However, she also finds it impossible to leave Shasa with her growing pregnancy.

Especially when Leo remembers his promise to take Shasa out of the house at the weekend. Perhaps this plan failed. He didn't until the heart told Shasa. Primarily, Leo never escapes his promise to Shasa in the slightest.

Leo thought about how many people should be deployed to keep an eye on Shasa when he was not around. She even thought of asking her mother and father for help in her place watching over Shasa. It was hard for Leo to leave in this condition.

Shasa walked outside his pavilion towards the main house. From a distance, Shasa saw Commissioner Gusta and Lady Sofia were engrossed in what they were talking about. The closer, the more Shasa heard the voices of debate between these two in-laws.

“Ma... Pa... what are you doing?” shasa asked curiously while holding her stomach.

“Honey... here sit, do not stand like that.” Lady Sofia greeted Shasa and led her to sit on the sofa.

“Mama and Papa what are you doing?” ask Shasa again.

“This is you know, mom is equally papa again find a name for your son later. But this papa tastes old-fashioned.” Lady Sofia was a little upset.

“Where might you say a name with a good meaning is old-fashioned. There is no ancient term in the use of names. You're the one who acts cool.” Commissioner Gusta won't lose.

“My given name is more current. Rainier. That's the name I'm going to present to my first grandchild.” said Lady Sofia proudly.

“Rainer means a wise warrior. You think my grandson will only be a soldier? He will be king, not warrior.” Reply Commissioner Gusta.

“Why do you judge it only from the words of the warrior? I hope he will be a wise man later on. Someone who can always tell the difference between good and bad. He will be a decision-maker loved by everyone.”

“My name is better. You don't consider that child a gift from God? That's why I wanted to name him Theo, because he's God's gift to our family. Our house has been too quiet since. His presence will be a gift to all of us. Not only for his parents, but also for me, for you, and for the rest of this house, even his country and nation.”

“Hahaha.. Mama, Papa, the name you want to give my son is really good all. But baby, me and Leo have decided on a name for him.” Shasa said that he had injured Mrs Sofia and Commissioner Gusta.

“What?” said Mrs Sofia and Commissioner Gusta together.

“Iya. Leo and I had discussed giving him a name that would describe my son. Mama and Papa don't have to argue about deciding on a name for your granddaughter. To be sure, he would carry the Gusta Family name at every step of his foot, regardless of any name that Leo and I would give to him.” Shasa was calm.

These two in-laws of Shasa pensively with Shasa's words. Apparently, free to argue since then, Leo and Shasa have decided on a name for their granddaughter.
