THE FORGOTTEN WIFE OF THE CEO

See Old Friends

Ayi researched Alvan from top to toe. Ayi did not expect that the image husband was a very handsome man. In the shadow of Ayi's ex-husband Citra is a fat man with a bald head and a cunning face like a rat. How not Ayi described Citra's husband figure in a bad shadow because the man could leave Citra for another woman.

"Oh this is your husband.the handsome one too! Honey his brain hurts! Having a beautiful and nice wife is still playing crazy. It should be boiled in the mangrove cauldron." Ayi's nagging was not sympathetic to Alvan. The gangs are less sane. Model Ayi's mother mouth as a firecracker explodes. A big sound no matter who hears.

"He is good! There was a misunderstanding between us. Can I have breakfast?" The image did not want Alvan to look bad in the eyes of others. No matter how ugly Alvan he remains the papi of the children.

Ayi realized Citra came for breakfast. He even recalled the old memories of Citra. Ayi threw a dislike view to Alvan just wandering into the house.

Alvan could feel the sharp gaze of the paro-aged woman. From the rays of the eyes of the woman implied a dislike for him. It is wrong so that the woman immediately threw hostility first acquainted.

The image drew Alfan's hand so as not to get fixated on Si Ayi's rude attitude. Their time is not long in this bamboo curtain country so they must quickly meet the professor and then travel around the city to spend the rest of the day in Beijing.

Alvan was just quietly brought to sit on one of the chairs made of wood. Alvan thinks this stall is old enough. The furniture is dull as an ancient product.

"Mas eat our breakfast! It's halal! No animal elements. All plant-based." said Citra dispel doubts Alvan.

Alvan can only be annoying because it is indeed helpless. Without the image of Alvan could not have been able to wander in this area because of language constraints. All three children Alvan has mastered Mandarin fluently is the capital to work with people from this country.

"Mas feels like mom didn't like me!" alvan was honest. There was something behind Ayi's unfriendly attitude earlier.

Azzam and Afisa smiled at each other without any intention why Ayi did not like Alvan. Ayi saw for herself Citra fell awake raising three children without a husband due to her husband entangled in a bad woman. Fellow women must be pro in women who are zolimized.

"Well, it's the same with strangers. Many curios. Not thinking of."

Ayi serves hot breakfast plus fried cahkwe and mantou. Gibran and Alvan have never had breakfast like this. Can it be full with just one bowl of tofu water and a piece of fried food?

Afifa section has a tofu flower. Cahkwe Afifa has been cut into small pieces placed on a small plate. Ayi seems to know the habits of children Citra.

"Xie xie Nainai (Thank you grandma)." said Afifa with sparkling eyes. This little girl is very happy to be able to enjoy a traditional breakfast from this country. Healthy breakfast without fat.

Gibran and Alvan inevitably had to eat a menu that was very strange in their eyes. The three Citra children did not care about the question mark in the hearts of Alvan and Gibran.

The first spoon feels heavy going into the mouth. But arriving at the tongue feels savory and sweet. Not too sweet for Alvan's taste. Alvan's stomach is warm tofu water.

"Milk.." Alvan continued the second spoon and so on. Gibran saw his brother-in-law can enjoy this strange breakfast ignited curiosity to do the same. The reaction of Gibran is not much different from that of Alvan.

The image just smiles seeing her husband and sister like the breakfast they offer. Be them breakfast with Ayi's strange gaze. Ayi was inexhaustible as to why Citra was willing to go back to Alvan who had been fooling her for so many years. What a privilege of the man until Citra releases the resentment in the heart of accepting the man.

Whatever it is Ayi just hope Citra finds her happiness. Everyone deserves to be happy. Maybe this is the time when Citra received the reward rather than patience during this time.

"Mommy...Amei can ask for water packs tofu? To drink later." pinta Afifa after the bowl is clean. The little one's stomach has grown so that one bowl does not make him satisfied.

"Of course you can.mami believes Nainai must have prepared for you to take home! Can't believe? We bet on ya!"

Afifa was of course excited to hear Citra's statement. The habits of the Ayi have been formed long ago. Always wrap tofu water for Citra and children.

Alvan strongly suspects that Ayi is a person who has been instrumental in caring for Citra and the children while in Beijing. Alvan cannot ignore the kindness of a person to his family. Judging from the condition is not from the upper class.

"Come.we have to make time! How much is our breakfast?" exclaim Citra after each bowl is clean of its contents.

Ayi was in a hurry to come bring one plastic bag. As Citra alleged, Ayi has prepared provisions for children to eat out later. Afifa laughed to herself, remembering the word Citra that Ayi must have remembered the old habits.

"Pay what? This is for my grandchildren! When are you back in Indonesia?"

"Tomorrow Ayi... Kids should go to school. My husband and I have to work. This breakfast should be paid for because I didn't come alone. My husband will pay. Give me Ayi's phone so I can transfer the payment!"

"Aiya..pay what? You guys have come Ayi is happy. If you have to come here, yes!"

"Can't be Ayi..now there's a responsibility for my life!"

"Whatever you are!" Ayi handed her phone to Citra to transfer some money. There are rarely people bring cash because payments are made online.

The image looked at Alvan without saying anything. The image is just curious to the point where Alvan sensitizes to the goodness of people.

Alvan took out a money transfer phone without asking how much their breakfast would cost. Perhaps a little goodwill Alvan will help Ayi renovate this very outdated store.

The image returned the phone to Ayi while smiling satisfiedly. Her husband's brain has not rusted can still be used to think sanely.

I was shocked to see the money coming in. One amount doesn't make sense. A few bowls of tofu water and a few pieces of cahkwe valued at hundreds of millions? Ayi rubbed her eyes in disbelief until she saw many times who knew her eyes were myopic.

"It's..." Ayi pointed at the phone confusedly.

"Thank you Xiao Ci..." Ayi hugged Citra with tears. There is a sense of happiness tucked in the heart Citra has found a way of light. Alvan easily gave some money meaning the man was well established. Being given money does not mean that Ayi has made peace with Alvan. There is still a dislike for that man.

"Please look! We'll see you again! Cece will visit you often because he is still here. We're parting."

Ayi nodded then looked at Alvan not yet friendly. Through the eyes of Ayi threatened Alvan not to repeat the same mistake abandoned daughter wife. Alvan who does not understand just shudder consider this mother there is a mental disorder.

The six of them walked out on foot to the hospital. The distance is not far, enough with a leisurely walk has arrived there. Morning air is still cool has not been exposed to ultraviolet rays of the sun so the journey feels cool.

The children already memorized the way to the hospital running merrily. Gibran envied the life of his nephew so loose without burden. They have found what is theirs. Gibran is still locked up, not yet clear. Gibran doesn't know if he and his stepmother can live in peace or there will be conflict. May Afung not be a stepmother in the wicked fairy tale of a husband's son.

The image divides the mask before entering the hospital. That's the main rule of hospital admission. Gini pandemic period there are still rules to be obeyed. Alvan saw Citra's workplace used to be quite bona fide. Private hospitals are quite large. The hospital is clean and organized. There was no noise because everyone obeyed the rules. Honestly in the country still lost about discipline.

Imagery find out about Sister Ming's son first. Citra wanted to bring Alvan to see Sister Ming to know where the large amount of money he had asked for yesterday. Alvan did not ask but Citra wanted Alvan to know where the money went.

The image can be information that Sister Ming's children have entered the treatment room so that they can be monitored in time for surgery. Citra rushed her family to meet Ming's sister who had taken time off to accompany the child ahead of the operation.

Nurse in the third grade room contains four special gurney beds for young children. The familiar image of the hospital environment quickly found the place where Sister Ming's child was being treated. The image of knocking on the door even though the door is open. The children's room, the door to the room is open, there is no privacy.

Inside contained three patients who were an average of the age of the Ming sisters' children. They all have problems in their organs. Children suffering from abnormalities will be placed in one room so that doctors who control health do not need to go and fro looking for which patients.

Two mothers and one man kept looking at the door to see who was coming this early. Doctors can't come this early because they have to take care of outpatients first.

"Doctor Xiao Ci.." Sister Ming immediately approached Citra who had not dared to enter because inside was not only the child of Ming patient. Parents of other children do not necessarily like there are strangers near their sick children.

"Suster..how's your son?" ask Citra in local language.

"Operation day plan. You wanna wait?" sister Ming clasped Citra's hands in hope Citra could be in the hospital during her son's surgery.

"Tomorrow I'm back. I send prayers only! Oya ..this is my husband! Name's Alvan!" Introduce Alvan to Sister Ming.

Sister Ming had not expected Citra's husband to be so handsome. Young full of charisma. Very suitable in conjunction with Citra even though there appears to be a slight age difference.

Sister Ming bowed respectfully to Alvan for being willing to be a donor to her son. Alvan was stunned to get such a noble honor from a woman. Sister Ming was not wearing a uniform so she was the same as the other local mothers.

"Money yesterday to help Sister Ming's child. His son has a congenital heart defect. I had to have surgery so I asked you to be generous." The image of open voice explain the matter so that Alvan is not confused.

Alvan had guessed Citra was not a wasteful woman with her money. Then he asked nothing. It turns out that Citra is spreading goodness. Alvan takes pride in the kindness of Citra.

Alvan shook his hand to say it was okay. That's all Alvan can say through sign language. Saying more can't either. Let Citra be the spokesperson!

"Don't think! As long as your son is healthy we are happy. When the operation is over, let me know! We said we'd like to see the professor. Watch yourself!"

"Thank you Doctor Xiao Ci!" once again Sister Ming bowed in honor to this kind family.

The image patted sister Ming on the shoulder and took the children and husband to the professor's office. Gini professor's clock must be crowded with patients. Citra did not have much time forced to come also to the senior doctor's office.

Fortunately the patient did not exist as if Citra blessing and family met the Citra teacher. The image of knocking on the door slowly while popping its head teased the old man.

Professor lift the head see who's such a seductive old man prankster.

"Ac ..Xiao Ci's! Come inside! I deliberately didn't accept this morning's patient knowing you'd come."

"Jani must be obedient. This is my family!" The image attracted Alvan to go inside.

Those twilight eyes were staring at Alvan meticulously. From the head to the end of the shoe did not escape the eyes of the Professor. Repeatedly those old eyes explored Alvan's entire body. Alvans like prey are ready to be the food of powerful monsters. Once swallow the crumpled.

"Well.your husband is handsome! Can you speak Mandarin?" the professor said with a laugh.

"Can't sir! Come on, salami professor's boys!" image Command on the four children.

"Yeye ni hao?(grandpa how are you?)" azzam's first greeting was followed by his two younger brothers and Gibran. Gibran can only follow without understanding its meaning.

"You guys are big! It's beautiful and handsome. Still in school, right?"

The compact of the three children nodded making the professor laugh happily. Alvan made the analysis of his children also close to the professor. The professor seemed to know them well. This made Alvan suspect Citra was a figure loved by everyone. Wherever he is received with open arms.

"We can't stay here long sir! Children ask for a way before returning to Indonesia. Hopefully next year we will see you again" Citra said, asking permission to take the children to go on the road.
