The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

news from erika

Still with a bad feeling, Budi continued to eat. After finishing eating, Budi tried to contact Erika, but still could not be contacted. He tried sending a short message, but only ticked one. This means that the message is not sent directly to the destination number. Mrs Ratih tries to build positive thoughts, when Budi said goodbye to go to work.

“Bu Ratih's. Can I have an address for Maryati ma'am, ma'am?”

Stevani's voice distracts everyone, who is fixated on the departure of Budi and Aldo.

“Bby. For what, Vani?” sahut ma'am Ratih.

“Begini, mom. If for example after the dongle they took, they stopped bothering Vani, Vani wanted to go to Maryati's house. I want to say thank you, for the instructions of his daughter” replied Stevani.

“Oh. Be able. Let us know Budi, entar. A little serem kalo for people who are not original sana”

“Loh. Why, bu?”

“The forest is haunted, mbak. If already abis isya’, rarely anyone wants to go through the forest” said Putri.

“Udah enggak, keles” chirps Madina.

“Know where?” ask Princess.

“Kan tiger already dijinakin mas Budi. Hi hi hi” replied Madina.

“Calmine, aah”

“Eeeh. Don't rest, deh!” madina panicked.

“Ha ha ha. Aduuh”

The princess laughed and saw her best friend panicking. But just for a minute. Because his head still throbbed while laughing.

Arriving at the factory, Budi took a moment to look at the rear garage, maybe Erika parked in the back. But he didn't find the car there. Erika has not yet entered the office. As she was about to ask Farah, Farah asked first. Which means Farah also got no news, Erika is where.

Budi ventured to ask Paul by phone. There may be a duty from Paul. But Mr. Paul himself was confused to be asked about Erika. Because as far as she knows, Erika is with Budi in the hospital.

Although still stricken, Budi still carry out his duties in the field. This morning there were a lot of orders. Samples sent to Europe by air yesterday have been received. And the marketing team has received a down payment for today's orders. That is, this order is a top priority Budi. Together with Aldo and Riki, Budi set the strategy.

*Huwannuru yahdil kha irina dziyau hu*...

While busy watching the production, Budi's phone rang. With a bit of laziness, Budi took the posel.

*ec*?

Erika's name in the incoming video call notification.

“Halo assalamu’alaikum” sapa Budi.

“Wa’alaikum greetings, mas”

Erika was in a crowded place.

“You're still at the airport, Ka?” ask, right at the core.

“Iya, mass. Sorry, I'm not telling you. Fucked up yesterday” replied Erika.

“Emang what is it?”

“Papa changes his schedule without telling. She's just a pesen with my stepmom. Uh, not sidelined to me”

“I mean, changed how?”

“Iya. Yesterday, it turns out papa got a phone call from one of his big customers. Being sure to meet at the hour you should have been boarding. Yes already, the same papa cancel, the plane”

“Terus, you wait at the airport, overnight?” ask me to worry.

“Iya, mas” replied Erika briefly.

“Kok is ngabarin? Make people worry aja”

“Sorry, mom. Semalem, the clock is clear, pas abis my stepmom told you, I would like to run the inn. On the way to the parking lot, hape I jatoh. There is a car going to pass. It's the same car. Sampe ancur can not be anything-apain” replied Erika, explaining.

“But I can call you, once?” tanya Budi did not believe.

“Oh. That's Budi's mas who called?” erika Sahut.

“Nggeter, mas. Can't lift it. The screen is ancur. Nih” continued Erika, while showing her destroyed phone.

“Ya Alloh. Sampe ancur gitu” comments Budi.

“That's it, mas. Well, I'm looking for counter hape, it's all closed. Just now, I can buy new hape” said Erika.

“But you're not papa, are you?” ask me to worry.

“Yes no papa. Kan who fell hapenya”

“I mean, you didn't close the car, did you?”

“Alhamdulillah, enggak”

“Terus, where's your papa?”

“But landing, mas. Should be five until ten minutes from”

“Oh. Okay. Semalem nginep in hotel, is there any temen?”

“At the hotel, mas” replied Erika with a smile.

“Seneng deh, see mas jealously so” continued Erika.

“For you no news, from yesterday”

“Iya. sorry yes, mas?”

“Ya. Ati-ati yes, behind it! Greetings to papa sama mama”

“Iya” Erika replied.

“Eh, mass. Entar if you meet papa, do not ask first why change the schedule, yes!” erika Pinta.

“Papa again sensitive, mas. Yesterday's business meeting was disappointing. I was the one whose son, just a pleasantie, got angry with him. I'm afraid papa's offended, go on, “

“OK. I understand, kok” cut Budi with a smile.

“Still making his warning. I'll avoid rich conversations. See you first, it can not disappoint” continued Budi.

“Emang Putri already ditingal, mas?” ask Erika.

“Yes there is a mother. There was Madin, just now kang Supri also said again nengokin. If you need another, just call, kan” replied Budi.

“OK. Hopefully fitting we nyampe home, mas Budi can maen. Papa was not long at home. The longest is also five days”

“Wow. Hurry up very?” exclaim Budi.

“Ndon't know, deh. Every time I ask, the answer is always about business” said Erika.

“OK. I'm trying to” replied Budi.

“Just be your self, honey! Papa likes people who are. Papa can tell, what do you have. No need to promote”

“Martabak?” ask Budi.

“Hem?” Erika was confused.

“Yapc. Duck egg. The one in the square. Delicious, tuh” replied Erika.

“Oke” Budi smiles widely.

“But don't just box, Mas. There's my stepdad also”

“Five boxes?”

“Most. Three aja” replied Erika anxious.

“Sip. Yes, yes, if you are home!”

“Oke. Please back up my work yes, mas!”

“Yes. Abis rest like, I cicil” replied Budi.

“Still, mas”

“Ya is so. Ati-ati! Assalamu’alaikum” close Budi.

“Wa’alaikum salam” Erika replied.

*Tuuut*

The video call connection was disconnected. The rebuke from Mr. Teguh distracts him.

Budipun drowned in his work. The existence of problems in the production process requires full focus from it. Until before lunch, Budi was still busy monitoring the production. Seeing Aldo enter the office, Budi recalled the results of his audit yesterday. He had not had time to ask about the rattan that was cut in length. Budipun ask permission for Mr. Teguh to return to the office.

“Do. Still busy?” ask Budi, when he arrived at their office.

“No, Bud. What's up?” sahut Aldo's. Riki, who was also at his desk, was interested in his attention.

“I want a discussion about materials. Yesterday I found something strange with the actual on rak” replied Budi.

“Oh. Any miss, my inputan?” ask Aldo in shock.

“Neg. If in outline, your input is appropriate. There's just something weird about the new rattan”

“Why?”

“Yesterday I found a rattan that cut rough” replied Budi while showing a photo of his findings to Aldo. Riki came closer to see.

“Keep I check the size. Apparently, the rough cut, the length reduced to a range of five centimeters. Something cut at the beginning, huh?” continue Budi.

“Neither, Bud” said Riki. Been looking at him.

“From first also who cut people own webbing. We who peel anyway, never cut the oval so. The length has also been measured according to the longest dimensions of our products” continued Riki.

“Iya. So from the first also” said Aldo, agreeing with Riki's answer.

“Have there been no findings, the dimensions shortened? From the woven team maybe?” ask Budi. Aldo turned to look at Riki.

“Not yet, sih” replied Riki.

“That new rattan cane?” ask again.

Riki looked to be remembering again. A moment later, he shook his head.

“Not yet, Bud” replied Riki later.

“I also have not found a different length. The average uniform, anyway. Yes if there is less and more anyway, not until five inches as well. Very striking if so sih” added Aldo.

“Terus, who cut? Foolish, cut rattan just so much. What do you want to do, try?” ask Budi.

Aldo and Riki did not immediately reply. They also felt strange, but also did not know, who would cut a rattan that short.

“I think this needs to be traced, Do. Rattan can not be connected. Kalopun emang planned, cutongnya can not ngasal. Especially if the motive is just a fad, because of kesel, incentives to be reduced. What's missing isn't just that guy, Do. We will all have the impact” said Budi.

“Iya, yes. I understand, Bud” replied Aldo.

“But how do we ngusutnya?” continued Aldo.

“Hem?” Budi did not understand what Aldo meant.

“I mean, if we ask openly the same Mr. Teguh, Mr. Tami, it could be the culprit will know. Consider this extreme a prank act! Well, how do we know who did it, but he doesn't know, if we hit him again?” aldo explained his point.

“Good. I wanted to go straight that way. But I don't feel good about you. Cool if you think until situ” comments Budi.

“Terus?”

Budi explained his plan in a soft voice. It was as if there was someone else behind this office door. Aldo and Riki mangosteen understand. They also accept the tasks shared by Budi. They broke up when the lunch bell rang. Aldo immediately went to the hospital, although Budi would actually go to the hospital as well.
