The New Chapter Of My Life

Episode 26 They looks like a real family

Thirty minutes before dzuhur, the group of outbound participants has returned to the field. Faces that looked tired, but bright and full of laughter adorned the outbound participants, including Khalis the Fridge Boss.

The Khalis, seen among his employees with smiles and laughter adorning his face, made the employees feel that something was different and unusual.

"Guy ! Mr. The fridge has melted, he's melting !"

"What happened ?! Was Mr. A really melting refrigerator ?!"

"Who is the one who made Mr. Refrigerator melting ?"

Those are some of the questions posed by fellow employees due to changes in the expression of their superiors who are known to be very cold, almost without a smile. Meanwhile, Khalis himself did not feel a difference in himself, so he again took a step that is very unusual, namely mingling with employees.

Where he took place in the middle of the outbound participants who were resting in the middle of the field. This made the employees astonished because at the two outbound events before, their managers were like anti-social men, let alone sit together, Khalis instead chose to be a spectator and not follow the event from beginning to end, so the participation of Khalis in the outbound activity this time became an extraordinary event.

Sweat that flows soaked Khalis' face, not one bit reduces his good looks, even he looks more attractive, so that makes the women do not let go of the charming man who in fact is their superior.

Khalis flicked his hair that covered his eyes with both hands, causing his hands to be soaked by the sweat that flowed from his head. This scene is like a television commercial for men's hair gel that can hypnotize women, who look like slow motion.

But then the cry of the son of Mr. Refrigerator, popping bubbles khalayan worshipers.

"Well, have a drink!" raffif exclaimed half-run while carrying cold mineral water.

"Still," said Khalis who then returned to give an advertisement of mineral water by sipping it up to half a bottle.

The women also felt freshness in their throats, characterized by salivary flow and hand movement felt their necks.

"Drenched father! It's sweat or watering anyway, Dad ?!" chirps Rafif.

"So I was rafting, so it was wet. Oiya, what were you doing ?"

"Main rope, trus dexterity, hmm a lot Well, very exciting!" raff answered with sparkling eyes.

Then Khalis looked around and asked again, "Where is it, how is it not visible?"

"So again chat with the mother near the tents. Well, I just saw Yangti swerving mom, Dad!"

"Are you serious ? really?" khalis asked while squinting his eyes.

"No, I mean, hallucinated, just a dream, Dad," Rafif joked.

"Yes really, Dad ! Yangti was really hug mom, but my expression was confused like that, huh ?" continued Rafif.

"Maybe the mother was surprised, suddenly hugged Yangti, just met and acquaintance," replied Khalis and this time, without her noticing, her lips re-formed into a smile that showed her mood. Then he hugged his only son suddenly.

"Dad ! What the hell is swerving, ashamed Well !"

"Where is dad still a prick ! Dad, the hunt is to take a shower !" rafif exclaimed while pushing his father's body, but he instead got a kiss on the cheek from the father.

"Dad ! what the hell ?! shame to know, Dad !" raffif Protest.

Khalis answered with a laugh, "I don't know. Udah ah, I want to take a bath first," he continued again while rising from his seat.

"That need to pray dzuhur, immediately clean up. Later we worship" Khalis told the outbound participants, before he left the field.

Then, he walked towards MCK by passing the BBQ area, his smile was back when he saw the closeness of Dona with his sister.

A few moments later, adzan dzuhur reverberated. Khalis, who was ready in his cocktail shirt, walked to the mosque with his father Rafif and his brother-in-law Dzaki.

While Dona is still busy preparing the equipment for lunch later. Seeing this, Khansa approached.

"Bak Dona, don't pray ?"

"I'm off" replied Dona.

" Oo, then I'm going to the same mushola as the kids, huh Ma'am."

"Yes, just tipped. Thanks." Thanks."

"Sha, Ara, Zalfa, go to the same mosque as aunt Khansa and Alisha, gih !" dona shouted at her three daughters.

"Yes, Ma'am !" answer all three.

"En, you're all deaf, I don't pray anymore" Dona continued.

"Good Mom."

The atmosphere became quiet, because the majority of outbound participants and family gathering were performing Dzuhur prayer services together.

Dona did not think that his participation was the Khalis' way of introducing himself to the Khalis family. This also makes his mind not careless. For that, he just sat pensively while playing a bottle of drink in front of him and hoped everything was just a dream, that everything was nothing more than his imagination. But a few moments later, the Dzuhur prayer was finished and they regrouped to enjoy their lunch, while Dona returned to the real world, where he again had to interact with Khalis.

Meanwhile, the men who were headed by Khalis and Dimas, with the help of some male employees began to bake BBQ meat, while Dona was assisted by two assistants and also Rahma, who was also grilled by her, preparing rice and other supplies.

"Sir, let me be the same," said Rahma who then took over Dona's job.

"Eh, I'm in charge here, Ma. It's not good if I say it," Dona refused.

"Udah, just go there, talk to the future-in-law," teased Rahma while nudging Dona with her butt.

"What the hell are you, Ma. But fine, if you insist, even if I don't like being forced..."

"Mbak ! I'm there, if you want to relapse, don't be here !" yelling Rahma while pushing Dona's body away that makes Dona laugh.

"Yowes, I'm going there, yeah," said Dona, bringing salad and fries to the dining area.

"Yes, I brought another one" said Rahma

Dona asks her assistant to bring Khalis's order soup to her family.

Shortly thereafter, Khalis and Dimas came to bring their grill produce.

"Dad, I want to!" shout Zalfa.

Khalis gave some meat to the plate and gave it to Zalfa.

Seeing Zalfa carrying a plate filled with BBQ meat, Rafif and two other daughters of Dona also asked for their lunch rations.

"I'm also dong, Dad !" pinta.

"Yes here, take it for yourself" Khalis said.

Rafif was the first to eat BBQ meat.

"Ih, Rafif's cheating! take it all !" Ara protest.

"Who quickly did he get!" answer Rafif.

"There's still a lot, Ra. Later I will take it again if less," said Khalis.

"Thank you Dad, eh Daddy didn't eat together ? ntar are out!" ask Ara.

"It's otw !" khalis kanda

"Laaa eat otw ! Cake will go where, use otw everything," said Ara who made Khalis laugh.

After that, he looked around, seeing his parents look familiar with Dona, laughter and smiles could not be separated from their faces.

"Here, all eat !" call father.

"Yes sir" replied Khalis, then approached his parents with BBQ meat.

"This is if you want to add," said Khalis while putting it in the middle of the table.

Seeing Khalis coming, Dona stopped his lunch and stood up.

"I'm sorry, I'm done" he said before leaving.

"Yes, please" replied Khalis' mother.

Dona walked up to her children who were enjoying lunch together.

Khalis could only look at him from afar, and he took a deep breath.

"Prophe Khal, he is still confused, wait a minute," said the mother.

"But I was talking and I told you about your plan to propose tomorrow" he continued.

"Trus Dona said what ?"

"Try you talk to Dona's oldest son, maybe you can find out about their divorce. I think it's related to the trauma of her past marriage."

"Good, Mom."

After the lunch was over, an employee-friendly event began led by Dimas, Khalis' assistant.

"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi. Thank God, we offer thanksgiving for the presence of Allah Subhanallahu Wata'ala, where today's outbound event is carried out well and smoothly. Supported by lunch from Bu Dona catering which is much more delicious than last year's catering. For that thank you Miss Dona, BBQ endesss if said children today."

"Return the love" replied Dona as she waved her hand which was followed by laughter from the family gathering participants.

"And don't forget, to Fridge Boss Khalis Ghiban for his support so that this event can be done well and it seems, the nickname of Fridge Boss, will be changed with Mr. Boss Melleh, he said, because just this time we saw Mr. Boss full of smiles and very patient to handle children and prospective children."

Khalis smiled but not with Dona who soon passed away.

"Mom Dona, how come you're going? Ma'am, it's not done yet, there's still a lot of welcome !"

But Dona kept walking away, regardless of the calls addressed to her.

"Alright, Mr. Boss, hopefully the business is facilitated and launched, we all employees support and pray for Mr. Khalis and Mr. Dona. We're waiting for the invitation."

The atmosphere was boisterous with applause and a whistling sign of support for their manager.

The Khalis family watched in full haru and were happy because their family members had started 'thawing'.

"Well, I will give you this welcome, the time and place we return to Mr. Khalis. Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."

Khalis also came back to give his greetings.

"Well, jazakumullah khiran katsiro."

"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi. I say many thanks to the Kaliurang Outbound for its place and activities. Also to employees and families who are willing to participate in this activity, to strengthen family relationships that hopefully impact on improving our performance in the future. The event, InshaAllah, held once a year aims to be able to bring a new atmosphere at work. I also want to apologize, if all this time I gave a lot of work with dateline that mepet, intentionally! So you are not mager! But Thank God, with this mepet system, your performance increases significantly. Per-semester sales this year increased by 30%. In the Lord, bonuses await."

"Alhamdulillah! Thank you, sir !"

"I'll suffice my welcome this afternoon, because if it takes too long it will turn into a call from all of you. Thanks again for your great collaboration! Applaus for all of you, wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."

"Sir Boss, nanya dong!"

"I don't think I'm opening a question and answer session" Khalis replied casually and expressionlessly.

"Sir, start !"

"Alright, please ask a question."

"What is Mr. Boss' relationship with Ms. Dona?"

Khalis also smiled at the question of one of his works.

"Do'll be the best" replied Khalis diplomatically.

"All right, I'm handing it back to the MC. Continue Dim!"

"And when my name is cut, if the front becomes 'Dim', how does it look bad, but if the back becomes 'gold', how does it become so friendly huh ?" dimas Protest.

"You have accepted your fate, yo wes continue," said Khalis who then returned to the sidelines.

Laughter boils down to watching the duo of Mr. Boss and his assistant. Dimas also continued the friendly event with several games until the eve of Ashar.

"All right, I've got the show today. We prepare for the Ashar prayers first, before we return to the office. For that I thank you all for your cooperation. Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."

Finally finished the outbound event that day. After the Ashar prayer, they immediately returned to Sleman.

Unlike when leaving, the atmosphere at the time of returning home was quite quiet, due to physical activities all day so that they all fell asleep.

Until a while later, Khalis began to wake up and look opposite him, he saw Icha woke up.

"Cha, you can sit next to me for a moment" Khalis called in half a whisper.

"Why, Dad?"

"No papa, I want to talk for a while" replied Khalis.

Aisha moved to sit next to Khalis.

"Cha, I'd like to ask, but don't tell mom, yeah."

"What do you want ?" ask Aisha.

"I'm sorry if this is your father, but Icha can't answer, really," Khalis said.

"What the hell, Dad? how do you say it slowly?"

"What happened to Icha's mother and father ? Why split ?" lirih Khalis's.

"Oh that, because the father cheated and secretly married again. I know that, but I think there's a deeper problem, but I don't know. Mother also does not want to tell stories, who knows only mother, the same who is true of her siblings mother," replied Aisha.

"Trus is still in contact with dad isn't ?"

"If you don't, because I don't want to talk to you at all. Wonderful, even though the bad father of the mother, but really the father who hates to mother. Thank God, last month you sent me the same number HP, so now you can call me."

"Alhamdulillah. Oiya, how do you want mom?" ask Khalis.

"I mean, do I want you to get married again?" ask Aisha.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Hmm, I went to mom, when mom was just getting divorced. I asked, when will you marry again? I just laughed, Trus said yes maybe three or four more years. Depends on when God will give you a mate again. That's the answer."

"Kok you can do that, right, the new mother divorced from your father? isn't it sad?"

"No, I'm glad mom finally split up with dad, because dad's bad to mom. After the divorce, I was more relaxed, laughing and joking."

"When was the last time you saw Dad?"

"Last year, after that, I won't let you see you again. Pakde, bude in Jakarta, his brother's father agreed with the decision of the mother. Well, because I'm bad."

"What's bad ?"

"Yes the father did not keep his promise to the mother, the father also became rude, often angry. Trus mother is also often mistaken for the father, when at that time the mother just finished the operation, so still recovering, but the father was even angry," replied Aisha.

"Operation ? What operation, when ?"

"I don't know her name, it's hard to name, but the mother had a head operation up to four times in a row, about a month after giving birth to Zalfa. Trus mother also had to forget, yes not that, but thankfully not long mother began to remember again, but yes until now still like someone who forgets that," it was clearly Aisha who made Khalis stunned.

"What's the matter, Dad ?" ask Aisha.

"Hmm, oh no papa, I'm just curious about you" Khalis replied.

"Hmm, you miss me, don't you?"

"At first, but not now."

"No, why ?"

"Because I always make mom angry and cry every time I meet, which is strange again, I even block mom. So why am I missing ?"

Hearing Aisha's answer, Khalis begins to understand the pain and trauma experienced by Dona. That makes him want to protect and protect Dona.

"Cha, what do you think ?"

"Dad want what ?"

"Hmm gini, if you're asking mom, don't you agree ?"

Aisha's eyes sparkled at Khalis's wishes, even if she did not speak, she could only answer with a nod of her head many times.

"But it's still a secret, yes. Don't let me know first" said Khalis.

"This is Allah, I want to pray for my mother, but you are silent first. The secret of both of us, don't tell anyone, including Ara. Okay !"

"OK, Dad!"
