The Dream of the President

The Good Wife

Leo came home late. He can't keep his promise to Shasa to get home on time. Leo rushed into the house and walked towards his room. However, Lady Sofia who finished taking the drinking water in the kitchen saw Leo and called him.

"Lo."

Leo turned. "Hi, Ma."

Lady Sofia smiled and approached Leo. "You come home once a night. Already eaten?"

"Here you go, Ma." Leo answered briefly and thought for a moment. "Is Shasa waiting for me?"

Lady Sofia smiled. "Any good wife is waiting for her husband to come home. Of course Shasa was waiting for you, but I told Shasa to rest and not sleep late."

Leo smiled faintly. "I'll be busy in the next few days. Likely, I'll be home late."

"It's okay if it's a consequence of your work. What matters is communication. No matter how busy you are, call Shasa, give him news. Although Shasa understands how busy you are, but he also definitely wants to be noticed with you."

Leo nodded, hinting that he understood his mother's words.

"Ask him, have you eaten yet? How's things? What the hell is he doing? Simple questions and sounds trivial, but women definitely like it. The key to a relationship is communication."

"Did you often ask me that too?"

"Ep... In the past, your father was a prestige man. He would go around in circles first asking many things, whereas the core he wanted to know was only one. Even so, mama understands that your father has his own way to show his attention. You're the same papa it's the same. Little talk, but much do."

Leo laughed a little. "Mama always stood up for papa." Leo and Lady Sofia laughed together. Before long, they returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Early in the morning, Shasa had woken up earlier than Leo. He doesn't know Leo is back at what time of the night, because Leo didn't wake him up at all. Shasa headed straight for the bathroom. After putting on the full outfit, he prepared Leo's work clothes.

Shasa tried to get out of the room. Still quiet, maybe because the sky was still blue with a little redness. Shasa walked towards the kitchen. His house chef has not been seen, nor has Mr. Yo. Shasa makes breakfast for Leo. He doesn't want Leo to eat his breakfast in the car anymore. He also made food that he could. It's simple, just a plate of omelettes, but Shasa hopes Leo likes it.

Half an hour later, two of his house cooks had just entered the kitchen. How shocked they were to see Shasa who was busy cooking.

"Mrs!" The two chefs saluted Shasa.

"Hey, why are you so surprised?" Shasa smiled slightly.

"Mrs, do you want to eat something? You should have told us you wanted to eat something." One of the cooks felt guilty.

"It's okay. Just do what you want to do. I just made an omelet for my husband."

"What's? What sir wants it?" One of the chefs was surprised when Leo's name was mentioned.

"Not... Yesterday Leo ate his breakfast in the car. I don't want him to be so unkempt that he has to eat on the street. So, I made breakfast earlier." Answer Shasa casually.

"Miss, then we'll start work early tomorrow." The two cooks promised Shasa with a feeling of uneasiness.

Shasa just smiled. He immediately finished his cooking and arranged it on the table. The two chefs were still so clumsy and did not know what to do.

Meanwhile, Leo awoke from his sleep. He did not see Shasa in the room. Leo's panicked. He shouted to Shasa. "Darling! Sweetheart! Where're you?"

"Yes, honey. I'm right here." Shasa replied as she entered her room. He approached Leo. "I've prepared your work clothes and your breakfast. I'm afraid you're leaving this morning."

Leo sighed in relief from seeing Shasa. Leo pulls Shasa's hand and makes him sit on the bed, opposite Leo.

"I'm sorry, I came home late last night. I didn't want to wake you up, so I cleaned up right away and caught up with you to bed."

"I'm the one who should be sorry for not welcoming you home."

"No. You should follow the doctor's advice. Your hours of rest, your hours of sleep, do not carelessly change it, especially if only to wait for me. Understood?"

"alright, fine. Now bathe. I'll wait for you at the dinner table." Shasa moved from her seat and out of the room towards the dining room.

Now, Leo is ready with his work clothes. He immediately came out of the room and met his wife at the dinner table. Shasa offers a plate of omelet to Leo.

"Eat." Shasa said with a smile.

"Hows it? Yummy?" Shasa asked curiously.

"Nake, but a little salty." Leo replies without knowing that Shasa made it.

Shasa's face turned disappointed. "It seems I gave too much salt."

"You made it, baby?"

Shasa nodded with a sad expression on his face. "I finally know why you didn't let me cook."

Leo laughed a little. "It's not so, honey. I paid the chef in this house not to let your hands get tired from cooking. You just have to say what you want to eat, let them make it."

"Even you've had a chef since before you married me. That means you do have your own standards in food that only your chef can make. And my cooking doesn't live up to your standards."

"The reason I used to hire that chef was because I didn't have time to cook alone and I couldn't cook anyway. After I married you, it never occurred to me to ask you to cook with an excuse because you're my wife. You're pretty much my sweet wife by my side and don't bother yourself for unnecessary things." Leo smiled explaining it to Shasa. "After all, if you want to take the jobs of those chefs, you're going to increase the unemployment rate in this country." Whisper Leo while laughing.

Shasa's face slowly changed which originally pouted into a small laugh. "You're coming home tonight again today?" Ask Shasa.

"I don't know yet. I'll let you know. From now on, we have to establish good communication. Let me know whatever you do, I'll tell you whatever I do."

Shasa smiled looking at Leo's face. He was so amazed, what kindness he did in the past to be able to get a perfect husband like this.

*****

Shasa heard a noise from the back garden. Whether there was anything there, Shasa did not know. Shasa approached the back garden area. From far away, it seemed that some people were working on something there. The curious Shasa asked one of the servants.

"You know what kind of job is in the back garden?"

"To my knowledge there's a renovation, ma'am."

"Master Gusta ordered it? I know that's her favorite place, right?"

"It seems so, Madam."

The waiter left Shasa still standing looking at the back garden. After finishing guessing by himself, Shasa returned to his room to rest.

"Ah... Where is lita going? Why haven't you come?" Shasa muttered to himself while walking to his room.

The long-awaited ones had already arrived at the Gusta Family home, but were intercepted upon entering the entrance. Niko invites Lita to talk for a while. They enter a work room that is usually used by Niko.

"Lita, you haven't forgotten what's allowed and not allowed for a Gusta Family member right?" Tanya Niko was cold.

Lita did not answer Niko and just looked at her flatly.

Niko presents some photos of Leo and Shasa while abroad. The photo shows them at a bus stop, while riding a public bus, and when they are in an open park. Lita was quite shocked to see the photos, but she hid them on her flat face.

"I bought these pictures from an amateur reporter abroad. Even though Commissioner Gusta didn't order me to send bodyguards there because I wanted to give them the freedom to go on vacation, but luckily I contacted everyone I knew in the country to keep an eye on you."

Lita grunting. "Mrs Shasa and the previous big lady I took care of, were really two different people. Madam Shasa had a free life before. Besides, you should know how good Mrs Shasa is at seducing the President."

"But you can remind him, right? They must know what consequences they will face."

"You've never refused, have you, whatever Commissioner Gusta told you? So do I. If President Leo orders it, Haris and I have no choice but to obey."

"Then, it's the same as asking me to keep sending bodyguards wherever Madam Shasa goes."

"I don't think it's necessary. President Leo also sent a bodyguard to the Madam. The last time we went to the reading house, Madam was already furious that many bodyguards were following her."

"Commissioner Gusta ordered it to me. Since President Leo has lived abroad for a long time, he still needs adaptations to keep his own security here. Moreover, there is now Madame Shasa."

Lita smiled bitterly. "The irony is that the weakness of the Gusta Family is so amazing, Niko. Commissioner Gusta was very weak towards his wife and only child. His only son is weak to his beloved wife. In conclusion, the greatest weakness of this family lies in the successful women in the hearts of the Commissioner and the President, Lady Sofia and Mrs Shasa."
