The Long Way to Be a CEO

About Tomorrow

In life there is a time to part after a joyous meeting. Likewise in the household, sometimes everything does not run smoothly and sometimes can not accept the shortcomings of each.

Therein lies the true patience being tested, able to survive or not depending on each person. However, into the heart of someone who knows, it may look mediocre, even though it is actually carrying a very heavy burden of life.

Rania is thinking about the future of her young son, without a real father, without relatives.he only knows the mother who raised him without knowing what a father looks like.

To this day, he has not been able to open his heart to another man as his life companion. There is no second time to fall into the same mistake, just that jerk who has abandoned him and his daughter, will not want to see such a man again, it's okay if Dea keeps asking for the whereabouts of her father, she herself never knows the man who ruined her life is alive or dead.

But sometimes there are questions from Dea that are difficult to answer, of course it's about the figure of a man who should be the father of the dea, where there is, whether he is handsome, what job, what, whether to visit on a holiday, and so forth.

All this time, can only divert the conversation if Dea has asked that, because he did not know what to answer. For him, enough he gets the needs of daily life and proper education without the need to know the biological father who at least plays a role in his life before he was born.

"Dea.. it's night, let's go to bed" asked rania to the dea who was still cool reading mermaid fairy tales.

"Dea." he called

"Yes ma.." his dream then tidied up the books on his study table which was small and could be folded.

"Dea why, koq did not immediately answer when mama called" Rania realized there was something else that Dea was thinking about at this time, because even though he seemed to focus on reading, Rania realized there was something else that Dea was thinking about right now, actually his mind was thinking about something.

"So at school dea did about the work of parents, and dea did not do about the work of the father, and dea was reprimanded by the teacher".

he paused for a moment then he closed his eyes for a while as if he was holding back from looking sad before his mother.

"Dea does not know the father's work, dea also does not know where the father is.." he as much as he likes when trying to explain about the duties that the teacher's mother in school gave.

"Patience yes son. don't be sad again.there is a mama here who will always keep dea". she calms her baby for a moment until she finally fell asleep.

Rania tries to calm down and thinks about the next day she should go to school and talk to the principal about this. There is no provision to rebuke the child about ignorance of his family problems.

Cold weather is blanketed tonight in Cirebon, not because of holidays or playful things. I deliberately came to Indira's father's house because there are important things that must be discussed directly about my seriousness to propose Indira.

Although not anytime soon, at least I have expressed my good intentions and in the future I can prepare everything especially to tell my parents who have been almost 10 years more I have never told you. Even though I knew they wouldn't accept me and take me to marry Indira.

Tonight the four of us gather to eat a dinner that is quite luxurious.there is a meat stew, vegetable soup and some vegetable stir-fry, all of which are available at the dining table.

"Come. let's eat" invited Mr. Danang his father Indira to invite him to eat the dishes that have been prepared.

Being so hungry my stomach saw these delicious dishes.

Without thinking long I whisked the rice and put a few pieces of stew meat and some sauteed vegetables with large portions.

Unfortunately have to maintain the ethics of eating, if you are alone, of course I will eat by hand without the need for cutlery. Although the cuisine is very delicious but not fitting if not directly using the hands as I usually eat in warteg.

"They're eating, like you haven't eaten in 3 days" Finna teased me while I was enjoying food on a plate that was running out.

"Hehe. I haven't had lunch fin". Since I have not eaten, if not for a phone call from Indira's father maybe I ate first at the stall.

Finna and her father Indira compactly laughed because the princess was so attentive towards me.

"Well, you're also fin".he's a little embarrassed because these two people are mocking him.

"Hahahaha, let's continue eating, son Sharoon added again, don't hesitate".

"Ready sir. carry it out!" pretending to have orders from the warlord, I obeyed his orders, without further ado I took the rice and other side dishes that I had not tried to taste. Seen across the table Finna shook his head because of my shameless behavior.

......................

After satisfied eating, my stomach feels full of satiety there is almost no other space in this stomach. Home-based cuisine but tastes like chef's cuisine in a 5-star restaurant only.

After eating all of us to the garden filled with various kinds of ornamental plants, I only know orchids, roses and jasmine that are blooming at night today.

we sat in a circle on a round table that was not too big, enough for 6 people as there were 6 chairs on the table.

"Yanti, please make 2 coffees" the prospective in-laws ordered to ma'am yanti the only standby maid in this house.

While waiting for a serving of coffee and tea, we talked casually about each other's work and also some business advice from Mr. Danang.

He has a variety of businesses, but the biggest is his business in fish and shrimp ponds as a product for export abroad, especially to China, because his business partners are mostly bamboo curtain country people who he has been working together for decades.

Not to forget he also told bitter-sweet when just starting a business, opposed to family, ignored and also other things that made him feel alienated from everyone. Even so, he did not give up to continue to rise to build his business until what it is today.

"Sir Sharon said he was building a business in the field of digital industry, how is it going now?". he asked curious about the prosfek in the field of digital business that I am currently engaged with my friends.

"So far smoothly sir, next month we will hold a grand opening of the company as well as publish about the applications we make together". I then explained about an application design called Project Oxygen about the virtual world to communicate and also adventure in the digital world.

"Father does not understand the technology now, let alone virtual-virtual as you say, use semartphone was very difficult to understand. hahahah" he then showed a folding phone output in the 2000s that can only be used to send SMS and phone only.

Although he was old, his father Indira still had a sense of humor and could make us laugh with his friends. Because of this character, he can build relationships with anyone and trusted by his business partners. Outside of his strict attitude, but there is a soft and humorous side and can interact with any generation.

"So..what are your plans going forward?" he looked at me and Indira, this question was very short and dense and had to be answered well and convincingly.

"We do not want to rush the reward, we both are still pursuing careers to be more free in the future". Indira tries to answer her father's questions, and that's certainly not what her father wants to hear.

"Fine understand correctly, but will until when you pursue a career that will certainly not be endless if it continues to be pursued". said Mr. Danang there is a point. For humans, there is no such thing as enough. if you get A then you must definitely pursue B and so on.

"The father just wants to give advice, how about it will be morning son Sharon and you just get married, papah who takes care of everything".

"Haaa... married?"

"How Can It?"

"Don't joke around!".
