The Dream of the President

Reading House

Morning on the weekend. This is what Shasa likes best. No need to take a shower early in the morning or take a shower to go to the office. He could still laze around a bit, have a quiet breakfast while watching tv, and linger in the bathroom.

Today Shasa will be doing his favorite activities. Visit to the reading house. This time, Shasa chose to bring snacks for the children. He planned to stop by the supermarket for a while before leaving.

Finished getting ready, Shasa pulled the bag and took the key of her beloved scooter. He whistled a little whistle down to the apartment lobby.

"Oh my God!" Shasa was shocked not to play until he jumped back. How not to be surprised. Clearly in front of him was an unexpected sight. Haris' assistant stood in front of the car door facing towards Shasa. In the car, there was Leo. Shasa wanted to escape, but could somehow escape where it had been caught this way. Inevitably, he drew closer to Haris' assistant.

"Wait!" Shasa raised his hand stopping Haris' assistant who wanted to open his mouth. "You must want to say that Master has been waiting for me, right? Isha! Are you a robot or what?!" Shasa is upset to the point of wanting to hit Haris' assistant with his bag.

But before that happened, Leo had opened his car glass.

"Hey! You don't want me to move as my secretary, do you? Quickly come in or you'll really move me." Leo threatened. Shasa only sees Leo here and is forced to get into his car.

"I'm going to go to your favorite place. I don't know what place and where."

"You won't like that place, sir." Shasa was still in an annoyed tone.

"Why?"

Shasa was really lazy to explain to Leo because suddenly his mood immediately turned upside down.

"All right, you can come. You can't comment much while there. Just shut up and look, don't do anything. Understood?"

"You're hunting me?" Leo's question made Shasa want to take a deep breath.

"No, Mister. This place may not be as common as you go. I just want you not to bother me with your questions like that train."

"All right." Leo's face says otherwise.

The car sped towards the place where Shasa was going.

Exemplary Reading House.

Shasa had arrived at his favorite place. Leo follows Shasa from behind and Haris' assistant swiftly carries Shasa's groceries. They took the time to stop by the supermarket to buy snacks.

"Kids!" Shasa greeted the children of the reading house cheerfully. The mother smiled to see Shasa approaching the children. But then, Mother Princess turned to the male figure behind Shasa. His face seemed to wonder who that man was.

"Today, Shasa brought a gift. Who wants to?" The children were so happy with Shasa's arrival. Shasa called out to Haris' assistant with a movement of his hand. Then Shasa receives a grocery bag from Haris' assistant and shares the contents with the children.

After distributing gifts and calming the children to continue learning, Shasa approached Mother Princess who was in the corner of the room. Leo followed him obediently, while Haris' assistant just stood at the door of the house reading.

"Mother Princess..." Shasa immediately hugged the Princess Mother warmly.

"The kids are waiting for you. I don't think you're here."

"Hehehe... Yes ma'am, there was a little technical problem." Shasa blinked his eyes at Leo who was right beside him.

"It's re..."

Uncompleted Shasa with his sentence, Leo immediately cut and reached out to shake the hand of Mother Princess

"I'm Leo, Mom. Shasa's friend." Greet Leo with a friendly smile.

'uh? A fella? Since when?' shasa Inner with a disdainful look to Leo.

Shasa was not interested in Leo and Mother Princess chatter. He prefers to study and play with children. Leo looked at Shasa as he gathered with the children.

Finished enjoying his time with the children, Shasa was now sitting on the bench in front of the reading house. Leo also sat down beside him.

"So this is your favorite place?" Leo started the conversation.

"Yes... Here I found a simple but sincere happiness. My soul is attached here." Shasa smiled. Leo just nodded.

"And Mother Princess, she is a good person who is like my own parents." Shasa continued.

"Yes, I saw it." Leo was silent for a moment. "You know why I don't like crowds?"

"Because you're jealous. People in the crowd were just showing off about him being with his friend, his partner, or his family." Shasa replied while recalling Leo's words back then.

"But now I seem to understand. Not everyone in the crowd was happy in his heart. There were also people who were alone, but hid their loneliness with smiles and laughter. Those kids, they're so lonely in their lives right now. But, they are so happy. When they were happy, not a single speck of loneliness appeared in his heart." Leo took his own words so deeply.

"You're lucky you still know your parents. They're still by your side. You should be happier than me or those kids." Shasa looked at Leo with a small smile on his lips.

Suddenly, Mother Princess came out of the house reading in a hurry.

"Damaz! Sha!" Shouted Mother Princess.

"Yes Ma'am?" Shasa was shocked until he stood up from his stool.

"Sha, dad... Your father's sick. Your mother called, your father went to the ICU." The Princess said it.

"What?!" Deg. Shasa was startled and drooped to hear it. It was fortunate that Leo quickly caught Shasa who was barely able to stand. A drop of water appeared at the end of his eyes.

"Your mom tried calling your phone. But I can't." Shasa did not realize that his phone had run out of battery since. "Sha, you should go home soon. Come on, I'll take you." Bring Mother Princess.

"Mom, let me drive Shasa home. I'll make sure Shasa gets there as soon as possible." Without a second thought, Leo volunteered to escort Shasa.

"Daris!" With a single glance, Haris' assistant already knew what to do. Shasa who was still limp, leaned his body on Leo's arm. Shasa could not think clearly and only thought of his father who had fallen ill.

Haris' assistant rushes to prepare Leo's private jet. They rushed to Shasa's hometown.
