The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

erika's lies

Lukipun took Adel to see a doctor. In front of Adel, he called his customer to cancel the meeting they had planned.

Adel was once plagued with suspicion. Because Luki called using a regular phone, not a video call. And speak also in some distant place. But soon he teased that suspicious feeling. Because he could vaguely hear what Luki was talking about.

This afternoon, Budi asked his mother for permission to go to the factory first. He wanted to check the amount of goods in the material warehouse. Without any questions, Madam Ratih immediately let Budi go.

Arrive at the factory after the employees return home. Without paying attention to the car park, Budi went straight to the production line. Not all consumable items are indeed, which he will check, only stainless and rattan materials. He opened his phone, and he showed me the updated data by Aldo.

“Loh, Bud. Alone?”

A greeting surprised him. He turned around in a direction of surprise.

“Erika where?” continue that guy.

Budi scrunched his forehead. He also only realized, if since leaving for the office, Erika had not contacted him again.

“Not in the office?” sahut Budi's.

“Live Riki, just now. Direct to parking, dia”

“Loh. Where, huh? Same Mr. Paul times. Can the business of legality of medical masks has not been kelar” terka Budi.

“Can Be So, sih”

“Eh. I told you Paul is not yet, who was the supplier yesterday?” continue that guy.

“I've emailed anyway. And WA too. Abisnya I did not pick up the phone” replied Budi.

“Udah responded?”

“Udah. Ma'am Farah asked nego price. But how much budget, sir Paul did not say” replied Budi.

“Ya. Entar me nego” Farah's comment.

“Keep you why, this hour even to the factory?” farah.

“It. Check inputan Aldo. Conforms, just as actual” replied Budi.

“Emang Aldo ever miss?”

“Not yet. Not suspicious of Aldo anyway, ma'am. Ma'am Rika asked me to check the actual amount of material left”

Farah found it strange with Budi's greeting referring to her own lover.

“As per no, between purchase, usage, same residual. If the difference, need to find out, the difference is why. If caused by an inefficient cutting process, it means that you need to think again, how to cut if you can not leave the rest. Alias runs out all this selonjor is made into furniture. That is, mbak Farah”

Farah. He understands now. Budi uses the word ‘mbak’, referring to Erika, as his superior.

“Ya. Want to be cemented, no?” farah Goda.

“Wadd. Thanks to Farah. Actually Dylanda rampaged Erika, if I accept” Budi replied while laughing.

“Hempf. Ha ha” farah laughed at Budi's reply.

“Ya is so. I'll go home first, yeah?” pamit Farah's.

“Oke, mbak” reply Budi.

“Assalamu’alaikum”

“Wa’alaikum salam”

Farahpun left still laughing, making Budi shake his head.

Although in his heart he wondered, about where Erika went, but he tried to focus back on what he had intended to do.

He was immediately immersed in a row of numbers and also the original object. He also measured the length of each material. There are no findings on hollow material that are still uncut. There are only a few records regarding the used material.

“This cut is different, huh? Rich is reduced, but a little?”

Budi found the oddity when measuring oval rattan that is still unused. Once a month, rattan material is never cut whole so. The cutting is usually done after it becomes woven.

“Rotan can not be connected. Why cut? After all, since when was the bread cut at the beginning? Is not it intentionally overdone for flaking?” Be willing to ask yourself.

“The cut is also rough. Time from the supplier like this?” budi Gumam.

“But if someone accidentally cut here, make what? Rotan so much can not make prakarya” continued Budi.

He also wrote his findings in the application of his notes. He also took a photo of the rattan as evidence of his findings.

“No news yet that anak” muttered Budi.

He found Erika's number, then called her with a video call.

Honey, his first call didn't get a reception. He called again. Until the waiting time is up, the call has not been received. Try it a third time.

This time his call was welcome.

“Wa’alaikum salam” replied Budi.

Erika was in the car, on a road that was a bit foreign to Budi.

“Where to, Ka?” ask Budi.

“Iya. Ouch. Sorry, mas. Forgot to ngabarin. I'm going to the airport again, Jogja” replied Erika.

“Loh. Why?” ask, a little less like. A jealous look adorned his face.

“You pick up papa” replied Erika.

“Papa? What time does it fly?”

“Lifted from yesterday, mas. Said stop by Surabaya first. There's a business meeting, semalem. Keep calling, he said he was boarding. Lah, surabaya to jogja right, not nyampe two hours. Yes, the fog, I” replied Erika, explaining.

“Keep, this is where?”

“Mount Kidul, mas” replied Erika.

“Quiet! I'm not cheating, though. Suer” continued Erika, while smiling amusedly, seeing Budi jealous.

“Oke” reply Budi briefly.

“Mas Budi, aaah. When should I go back first?” whinek Erika, knowing Budi has not fully believed him. Be smiling.

“Ya. Continue aja. People already deket, time back?” reply Budi.

“Yes but don't get mad like dong, mas! So it's all wrong, iiih. I actually forgot mas, so surprised me, denger tidings papa already boarding”

“Iya, yes. I'm not angry, though. Jealous doang”'s

“Bener?” asked Erika to make sure.

“Iya, dear” replied Budi. Erika smiled called, dear.

“Ati-ati on the road, yes! kamarin, if you're home! Tomorrow, if there is time, I want silaturohmi” continued Budi.

“Iya, mass. Thank you, I'm sorry. I walk first huh, mas?” pamit Erika's.

“Iya, darling. Ati-ati” replied Budi.

“Assalamu’alaikum”

“Wa’alaikum salam”

Be pensive, after disconnecting the video call. In his mind has lined up various plans, if his father Erika has arrived at Erika's house. He really wants sowan and acquaintance. Perhaps you can immediately propose to Erika in the near future.

“Huufft. Fortunately, Budi did not interrogate” muttered Erika, after sighing in relief.

Tok tok tok tok

I heard the windshield of his car door knocking on people. He lowered the glass on the left.

“Where are you, caught?”

A veiled and veiled woman questioned him from outside the car.

Clamps

Erika unlocks the door, and tells the woman to come in.

“It is a good thing that Budi did not interrogate me. So it's still safe” replied Erika.

“Thank God. Continue, now we go to the airport?” sahut the veiled woman.

“Ngapain? My papa is still tomorrow, return home” replied Erika.

“Terus?”

“We go to the pond aja, check location”

“Barry Prima is ready” info the veiled girl.

“Ha?” Erika jerks.

“Hempf. Ha ha ha ha's. Barry Prima?” Erika laughed, remembering the figure of Barry Prima.

“Hei. His brain” reprimands the veiled woman.

“Ha ha ha. Basic Sephia”

The veiled woman was only shaking her head, when Erika drove her car back.
