The Love Story of Aina

34. Bonuses

Riyan looked at the laptop in front of him, he played the cursor to point the numbers plastered on the laptop screen seriously. Check the income this month which is quite large. Riyan stared at the results of his hard work over the past five years.

He will give bonuses to his employees in all branches. Then Riyan called Arief and told him to come to his room. Before long Arief came and sat in the front seat of Riyan's desk.

"Rief, how many employees are in all the branches of this restaurant?" riyan asked Arief.

"And there's already a note sir in the report" Arief said politely.

"I'm missing open the report, you count it. You're smart enough to count numbers quickly, so count now" said Riyan.

Then Arief thought and started counting the number of employees. His hands were counting, his forehead wrinkled and his eyes sharpened with a count in his hands. Riyan watched what Arief did.

"What branches are there, sir?" ask Arief to make sure.

"All Rief, I told you all the branches." said Riyan.Arief just grinned the horse.

"The one in Kemang was twenty-six, in the beautiful cottage there were twenty, in Depok there were seventeen. In Bekasi there are fifteen and in block M there are eighteen. So in total there are ninety-six, sir." said Arief steady.

"That includes the security guard and the parking attendant?" ask Riyan.

"Satpam came in, but the parking attendant did not enter sir" replied Arief hesitating.

"Why not enter too?"

"But the parking lot is not Mr Riyan's employee?" continue Arief again.

"Well, everybody in, so how many people?"

"If the parking attendant adds six it will be one hundred and two, sir."

"Okay, you can go and please Vienna tell me to go to my room" said Riyan.

"Okay sir, I'm sorry."

"Emm."

Only that was Riyan's answer, then Arief came out. Riyan was still fiddling with his laptop. Check the monthly reports of each restaurant. He made a list of bonuses for all his employees. Not long after, the door was knocked.

Tok to tok.

"Get in." then the door opened and entered Vienna, which was called by Riyan.

"Yes, Mr. Riyan, what's wrong?" ask Vienna who turns out he's part financial.

"In a moment, I'm typing first" said Riyan still playing his laptop.

Fifteen minutes of Vienna waiting, then Riyan printed the note he had typed on his laptop and handed it to Vienna.

"This is a list of employees who get bonuses this month, including six parking attendants. You give it to them later if the payday is distributed." said Riyan.

Vienna's eyes sparkle, he's happy to have that mandate. Unrelentingly staring at the written paper sheet of employee bonus notes.

"This month the turnover is quite large, so I give a bonus to all of them" said Riyan again.

Who knows Vienna is very happy with the news.

"Well Mr. Riyan, thank you." replied Vienna gladly.

"Don't be late in giving his payday, Vienna" Riyan said.

"Beres sir, I will distribute their salaries on time" Vienna said.

"Good, don't let their sweat drip before the paycheck comes out."

"Good, sir."

"You can get out."

"Okay sir, excuse me first."

Then Vienna left Riyan's room. Riyan was satisfied with this action, for him pleasing others was his happiness. What else his employees who have worked for him five years, it is appropriate as a boss to give a bonus when income increases.

He was silent for a moment, then somehow his mind floated on Aina. She missed Aina who was a little spoiled if she met on a work holiday. He smiled to himself, until unconsciously the door opened and stood the middle-aged woman looking at him in wonder.

The hands of the two women on the front of his chest, were still staring at Riyan who was smiling to himself. Realizing that her presence was not noticed by Riyan, the woman cleared her throat.

"Ehm!"

Just soberly, Riyan was shocked and saw who had disturbed his daydream about Aina. Riyan confirmed his seat, somewhat surprised when the woman was the mother who had been watching him since.

"Eh, mama. Since when did mom come in?" riyan asked wrongly.

"Since you were smiling to yourself seven minutes ago." replied his mother as she glanced at the watch in her hand.

Riyan smiled shyly, caught daydreaming. He invited his mother to sit on the sofa.

"Sit mah." invite Riyan who approached her mother to sit on the sofa.

"What's your mom doing here?"

"What are you daydreaming about?" question curious.

"Don't daydream anything."

"Definitely daydreaming of a girl right?" ask her mother full of questions.

"Well, I'm happy to give happiness to my employees" said Riyan still dodging his mother's guess.

"Give what happiness? You're a real freak."

"Well, dear mama, Riyan just gives bonuses to employees. This month the turnover was quite large, so Riyan gave them a bonus. Yes, although not great, but imagining their happy faces Riyan very happy." said Riyan.

No one was lying, but she covered it up so that her mother would not suspect that she was thinking about Aina.

"Mm., good too. They have to be given a bonus."

"Yes mah, any turnover goes up a lot Riyan would love a bonus on them." Riyan replied proudly.

"That's good. What bonus is it for my mom?" ask her mother enthusiastically.

"Mama wants what? Riyan bought it." said Riyan.

"Mama wants a daughter-in-law, Riyan." Riyan's face was tense. He looked down and then at his mother again.

"Yes, Riyan will love your beautiful daughter-in-law, kind and smart. One more Sholeha. Hopefully, pray for me" said Riyan.

"Mama always pray for you, but when did you get to know your boyfriend, potential fiancee or future wife.? Mama has never seen you walk with a girl, Riyan." said her mother.

"Later mah, when it's time for Riyan to introduce. My mother was patient."

"But this year's promise is you've got a wife?"

"God willing, mah. Riyan will give a special bonus son-in-law to mama" said Riyan comforted her.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your promise, yeah." Riyan nodded.

"Yan, our brother in Cirebon wants to marry his son. Are you going with your mom there?" mama Riyan said. Ryan thought for a moment.

"Tante Irma wants to marry her son?Who?" riyan asked curiously.

"That's the Aryan. You forgot it." said his mother.

"Who was he married to, who preceded Riyan anyway ma?"

"Who's boyfriend, who else. You don't have a boyfriend?." Ryan just laughed.

"Papa couldn't come?"

"Papa said Sunday there is a trip to Palembang, so can not meet mama to the wedding of Aunt Irma's children. That's why I asked you to accompany me."

"Don't Juli want to go with mama?"

"July there is karate training he said on campus."

"Emm, yeah nothing with Riyan. When's the show.?"

"It's Sunday, but mama's Saturday to be there. How's it?" Ryan seemed to think.

"If Saturday Riyan wants to go to Bogor, survey the place to open a new branch there ma. Mama can go there with the driver first, later that night Riyan followed there. How's it?"

"Yes, nothing. But later you don't be late, who knows there are those who are hooked on you."

"Hahaha, .. Mama can do it."

"Yes, my mom came home first. Juli said she asked to transfer clothes for Sunday preparations. Papa also came home early today." said mama Riyan.

"Yes ma."

"You're coming home tonight?" tanyakanya.

"It doesn't seem like anything, Riyan went back to the apartment. Tomorrow night Riyan goes home" said Riyan.

"Yes, my mom came home first."

"Yes ma." then Riyan got up to take his mother out of his office. Don't forget to kiss his mother's hand a sign of respect.

"Assynoltom..."

"Wa Alaikum salam."
