The Love of the Culun

Called the President.

David is a middle-aged man of Javanese blood, and serves as a Director, in a company engaged in exports, and imports, which are outside the city of Jakarta. Creasing increasingly framed on the face of a David, due to anxiety that shackles themselves. His hands squeezed together, channeling the agitated self-inflicted with the two bolamata, continuously fixed on the numbers inside the elevator, which brought them to the eighteenth floor.

The elevator door opened, now the two surgical men of that age, already rested on the eighteenth floor, where the room of the leader was located.

The footsteps went hand-in-hand with Robert, but as the two legs led him into the room of the PRESDIR, the gazes of the staff never once turned from him as the two legs stepped.

"Have I made a fatal mistake, so that some employees kept staring at me," Membathin, out of curiosity that shackled themselves.

Robert knocked on the door, as he was, and David was already in front of the room. Suddenly Robert's burly hand reached out to the doorknob, when he heard the voice of the edict from within.

The two feet stepped in with Robert, with anxiety increasingly engulfing themselves. If only he had done something wrong that might have hurt the company.

"Good day sir. Robert said, if there's anything important you want to talk to me about."

Juan the PRESDIR, immediately moved from his seat with a distinctive smile that remained framed on his old face, when faced with one of his best employees.

"Sit down first.."

David occupied a single chair, which was right opposite the work table was the PRESDIR.

Breathing feels heavy, because actually the PRESDIR was reluctant to convey this.

His gaze turned to his confidant, and Robert, who had understood what his Master meant, immediately reached out to the newspaper on the table, and put it on the desk right opposite to David's sitting position.

A puzzled look immediately framed the full face of David, as Robert put down the newspaper. His glance took turns staring at Robert, and also David out of curiosity. Slowly the fingers lifted, reaching for the newspaper in front of him.

The two bolamata were rounded wide, as his eyes were fixed on an article writing about his daughter.

David's two words began to trace each sentence, to find out what was going on with his daughter who he did not know at all, written in it.

Tired immediately hit the body of the beakbaya man, blurry both of his eyes, due to the clear liquid that had filled his eyes with what he just knew.

"I'm sorry Mr. David, this is what I call you for. Because the news about your daughter, has spread widely and involves the name of this company in it. Moreover, your daughter did that, with a businessman.And everyone also knows, if she is the ex-lover of the famous businessman Zain Pratama."

David bowed his head, so ashamed of his daughter's actions. Swiping away the clear liquid, which had already escaped without him noticing. And now he knew what made the gazes of all the employees keep staring at him today.

"I'm sorry sir? i pardon. I'm sorry, for dragging the name of this company."

Engraved a smile on the face of the PRESDIR, and tucked a sense of pity on what, the abundant family of one of his best employees.

"You've been working with me for decades. Starting to serve as a regular staff, to serve as a Director. And I know how you are, Mr David? and I'm sure you've been trying to be a good father, and also a very responsible head of the family. I'm calling you here, I just want you to sort this out, before you go back to the office."

David immediately turned his head, staring intensely at the man his age. Trying to digest, what his superior meant.

"Have you fired me sir?"

A small smile was engraved on Juan's face, hearing what David had said earlier.

"I'm not firing you Mr. David, I'm just asking you to take care of this. And I'm sure there must be someone who's been spreading those records."

"Once again forgive me Mr. Juan, tan thank you for being very understanding of my current situation. And maybe right now, I'll be back to Jakarta soon, to take care of this matter." By moving from his seat.

The body rose from its seat, as David was about to leave the room.

"Be careful on the road."

"Thank you, sir, and then I'll excuse you." With a slight bowing of his body, the moment would pass away.

*****

The look in his eyes was thrown far ahead, staring at the natural beauty presented behind his house. The sun had smiled brightly, shining down on the earth. But the brightness of the sun, not as bright as the look of the face that always frames sadness lately.

Clear droplets flowed back, as his memory recalls his daughter. Regret continues, and grows larger, given how evil she is to her own biological daughter.

To wipe away his tears, which had already escaped.

"Ariana. Forgive Mama Nak. I am so sorry Ariana... Mama is very upset..." Tears continued to flow, as the moment of regret was spewed from his lips.

The door to the room is wide open. Both of her legs carried Ani waltzing in, entering Celine's room. Since learning that Ariana is her daughter, Celine always spends time in the room, and is reluctant to go out. To make it inevitably make the waiters have to bring the food to the room, when called to eat the woman's lungs always refuse it.

Ani placed the tray containing Celine's lunch, on a small table, next to the bed. And again she had to see the same scene again, which was to see Celine crying because of her daughter.

"Mrs.. Call her slowly, with both feet bringing her to the woman.

Immediately wiped his tears, when he heard Ani's voice. A fake smile framed on the face of the twilight, while looking at Ani.

"Well, when do you continue to grieve, madam? remember, you also have to think about your health as well."

The dorai airamata again wet his cheeks, hearing what Ani said.

"How could I not be sad, how could I not continue to cry, knowing that she was my daughter. Where should I find my daughter Ani... Where...? I miss him so much. And whether he'll forgive me, after what I've done to him all this time. Even.." The shoulder shook even more, remembering what he had done to his daughter, until the house ended in divorce.

Even I'm his own mother, who ruined his happiness."

Slowly Ani's hand, grabbed Celine's fingers. He looked at the woman deeply, and the teselip pity in it.

And seeing how Celine was currently, she was able to conclude that the woman was extremely sorry for what she did.

Eye bags are visible, and wrinkles are increasingly added to the face of the twilight, due to his cheeks that have been shrinking. Everyday appearance that is always beautiful, and elegant disappears instantly when he knows the reality.

"I know how you feel, madam? it's not easy. Given that Ariana, is your biological child. But after all, you should think about your health too Madam? and trust me, fate will surely bring the Madam, and Miss Ariana back. And of course, your granddaughter too." A small smile, trying to comfort Celine.

Hearing the words grandchild, there was a trace of happiness in Celine. Ariana is currently pregnant with her first child. But at once sadness framed him on his old face, remembering whether Ariana could forgive him, or not after what he had been doing all this time.

"But I'm not sure, she can forgive me Ani? you yourself would have known, if I was the one who had planned the trap on my own daughter." Clear circles back to wet the cheeks, when the sentence was spoken.

"Miss Ariana is a good woman. I'm sure, even very sure, that he must have forgiven you."
