The Handsome Savior of my Life

Chapters 77. Bolu Cake

A week has passed. Shakira and Benjamin, they are still in Utrecht, the Netherlands. There was no sign of Samuel's presence. Yes, a guest that all of them look forward to. The Abhimanyu Negara family and Shakira.

At the dinner table, Mama Seila and Mr. Abhimanyu were chatting while enjoying breakfast.

"How's Pa? Did you tell Benji about the email Samuel sent?"

Mr. Abhimanyu shook his head as he fed his wife the bread.

"I haven't been able to tell him. What do you think the reaction is?"

"I dare not confirm it. But, as I know very well about Benji, he will not be fighting with his sister," replied Mama Seila confidently.

"I have to talk to my lawyers first. In order to be able to take the action that we will need later," said Mr. Abhimanyu quickly drained his orange juice and got up from his chair, took his briefcase and car keys and walked towards the exit

"I have to leave now, there is a meeting with the board of directors of the Utrecht branch, the Netherlands. Pray that everything goes well. OK?!"

Mama Seila also nodded her head, a sign of understanding.

"Hopefully succeed in your meeting today, Pa. .. If you need help, call me."

Two light pan cockles landed on Mr. Abhimanyu's right and left cheeks.

"May all pass quickly. I can't wait to end these dramas" said Mama Seila whispered softly in her husband's ear.

"I love you, Darl ...."

Mr. Abhimanyu got into the car and in an instant passed from sight.

Mama Seila was dumbstruck, her eyes looking deep into the sky. Right now, the clear blue sky above the city of Utrecht, witnesses the mute tears of Mama Seila.

"Until when will this happen? Sammy and Benji, both of them are our flesh blood, "inner Mama Seila.

Unwittingly by Benjamin's mother, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.

"Mama ... What's wrong? Why is Mama crying here alone?" benjamin asked while patting his mother's shoulder.

"Ah .. It's okay, Benji. Mama's fine."

Slightly surprised by Benjamin's presence that was out of nowhere near him, Mama Seila quickly wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

"If anyone makes you worry, tell us or papa."

Hearing the words of his youngest child, made his heart touched. Although Benjamin was born without an older brother beside him, it did not make his personality a spoiled and self-serving man. From childhood to adulthood despite looking stiff and quiet, Benjamin is very attentive to the people around him.

"You're so considerate, son. Mama's so proud of you, Benji."

Benjamin hugged his mother with affection.

"I love you, Ma .. don't worry about anything. I'll always be there for you guys" Benjamin replied as he scolded his mother's forehead.

Shakira who had stood not far from the mother and child, captured the rare moment.

"I have to capture this. My handsome man is second to none," Shakira said with a smile.

...****************...

That afternoon, Shakira was busy doing activities in the kitchen accompanied by Mama Seila. Try Mr. Abhimanyu's favorite cake recipe, besides spending his free time because of boredom of not having meaningful activities while in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

"Kira, Benji told mama about your skills in baking. Didn't you ask to follow him?" mama Seila asked as the two of them were making banana sponge cake.

"Ah, Mama Seila can aja ...," replied Shakira lowly, focusing on the print in front of her.

Mama Seila smiled hearing her answer.

"Are you happy to work as Benji's subordinate, in the office?" ask Mama Seila again.

Shakira immediately put down her ball print and looked at the mother of her boyfriend with a frown.

"What's wrong, Tumben Mama asked that?"

Mama Seila also put the cake dough.

"Don't be so prejudiced, Kira. Mama knows that your current job was your dream."

"Rubber, Ma. I like the job I am doing right now. Well, despite having to deal with super cold bosses and never smiling hahaha ..," Shakira laughed as she imagined the expressionless look on Benjamin's flat face in the office.

Mama Seila laughed at the young woman in front of her.

"Do you not want to continue the company of your parents?" lure Mama Seila while pouring the cake batter into a mold that has been prepared by Shakira.

"Initially, that was the main goal after I graduated college. However, it seemed that it was already not the main goal anymore. Because, papa and mama's company has been acquired by the bank, right?"

Mama Seila was silent for a moment, trying to find the right words to convey the message left by Mr. Prajogo through Yohan, his assistant.

"What if the company still exists? Do you want to manage it?"

While listening to Benjamin's mother's question, Shakira quickly tidied up the remnants of the cake batter ingredients and washed the cooking furniture. He tried to remember the days where the bank came and provided information that his parents' company had gone bankrupt and was in the hands of the curator.

"No way, Ma. Because the company is no longer there, and according to the Bank people, the curator is handling until someone buys it" Shakira replied at length.

Remembering the incident made his hair goosebumps. It was so unpleasant, losing everything in an instant.

"Surely the company still exists, Kira," said Mama Seila slowly but surely.

Mama Seila pulled Shakira's hand and sat her down in the kitchen chair.

"Listen to Mama for a moment ...," Mama Seila's orders to sit opposite her.

"This is a message from your father. He left you a message to pass on to you, Kira."

"Order what, Ma?" ask Shakira curiously.

"He wants you to continue his business. All the efforts are currently being frozen on his orders," Mama Seila replied with a smile.

Shakira's forehead wrinkled the sign trying to understand her papa's message.

"How is it possible? We are not bankrupt, are we? In fact, even at home we don't have."

"Just calm down, Kira. You have Yohan, she'll take care of everything for you. So think about it well. Your father is waiting for your answer, your best answer," said Mama Seila as she blinked one eye and rose to her feet to check the baking dough.

"When should I give an answer?" shakira asked the hostess.

"Fastly, so that Yohan could move quickly. Even if you can, after coming home from the land of Ginseng, you can already start working there," replied Mama Seila with full confidence.

"Well, I'll think about it first. Benjamin should also know about this, I will discuss with him, Ma."

"Good, Kira. Wait for the good news, OK?!"

Twenty minutes passed. Ting ... The sound of the oven indicates the baking sponge cake has matured.

"Wahh Kira .. unexpected your handmade cake looks beautiful," said Mama Seila praised the cake made.

Shakira also laughed happily to see his creation did not disappoint.

"May Mr. Abhimanyu and Benji like it yes, Ma ...."

"Hmm ... what's this good smell?!" there was a baritone coming from the dining room.

"Benji! Come, Son. Try this sponge, "call Mama Seila cheerfully.

Benjamin's footsteps approached.

"It turns out, in addition to being beautiful and friendly, your girlfriend is also an expert in baking!" praise Mama Seila in front of Benjamin, make Shakira's nose kembis kempis made.

Benjamin took out a piece of cake and ate it once voraciously. Shakira awaits her reaction with bated breath.

"Hmm .. I expected, this hand is indeed skilled," said Benjamin brandishing his two thumbs. Then rubbed Shakira's hair and gently grasped her lover's hand.

"Ah thank God that you love her, Benji," replied Shakira happily unable to cover her joy.

Mama Seila who saw the intimacy of two lovebirds did not know the place was itching to say words.

"Cie ... You two make mama so kangen papa you, nih .. hahahaha," seduced Mama Seila as she pinched her son's cheek with anxiety.

"Oh, this one mother can't see her child happy one bit" Benjamin pretended to be angry.

"Hahaha .. no Benji, Mama Seila just wants to tease you," said Shakira mediating the mother and child.

"Come, let's bring this simple cake to the dining room. Don't forget, save half of it for your papa, Benji!" shakira said, because it was seen by the tail of his eyes, the handsome man was cutting the cake back.

"Alright, Young Miss Shakira," kerling Benjamin teased her.

Only a razor-sharp eye gaze was cast by Shakira.

...****************...

The day passed quickly. No notice the clock has shown at eightpm local time.

At the moment, the weather outside is quite cold. No one out Abhimanyu State relax outside.

Seen by Dio and Nola, the three of them and Shakira were chatting in the living room.

"I hope they'll always be like this. There is no more drama of stalking, kidnapping, attempted murder" Dio said softly afraid of sounding one of his master's families.

"Same. I did too, Dio. But, a calm atmosphere like this made me uncomfortable. It seems to have been made intentionally. The eldest master and mistress are planning something out there," Nola replied conveying her thoughts.

Dio who was sitting relaxed in the outside chair was interested in hearing Nola's words.

"Truely you said. Well, it turns out you're good at analyzing too huh?!"

Plaque! A light blow landed on Dio's shoulder.

"Haish, a hobby once mukul nih this beautiful girl," Dio's tease accompanied by a wide grin.

"Let's hope that tomorrow nothing happens" Nola said with anxious hope.

Nola rested her back on the chair next to Dio, hoping that this peace would last forever.
