The Perfect Happiness

S2 - Eps 41

"What's the matter, Max?" my word is impatient.

Max exhaled the last cigarette smoke he had inhaled. Then turn off the cigarette nipple diabak middle of the table. I stared at Max sharply. Maybe it was clearly visible with the position of my eyebrows that were raised next to it.

Max breathed his breath again, heavy. Slowly he corrected his sitting position.

"Gini, a few months ago my subsidiary got nominated a big tender for the opening of a mining road. The tender amount is decent and the profit has been calculated, large enough for a subsidiary that is only running one year. There are six companies. At first, my men and I investigated five rival companies. Everything is safe and I'm sure it will win. But it turns out there is one company that advanced through the bottom line. The company has already deposited some money to the owner of the tender. In short, this morning it was announced, if my subsidiary wins which means that one company that passed the bottom line was lost and lost the money that had been deposited," explained Max while looking at me.

"Trus what does it have to do with me? If you win, we should be celebrating dong!" sahutku relax.

"Yes wanted a celebrity, but once it was clear who was behind the deposited subsidiary, we were not a celebrity" Haikal chimed in.

"Why?" many wonder.

"The company that lost a lot of money, its subsidiary Papanya Jefri," Max replied firmly while leaning back his back on the chair sandafan.

I jerked.

Shocked, mixed in disbelief with what Max said. My mouth is open, I can't speak anymore. My body is limp, I lean on my seat.

"Max just knew the afternoon, if the subsidiary turned out to belong to Om Atta which he just developed a few months ago," Haikal said trying to add an explanation.

I looked at my two brothers in turn, still with my slightly gaping mouth. My breathing paused for a moment, then I closed my eyes, slowly inhaling the oxygen that had surrounded my body.

I felt both hands clutching my shoulder tightly. I opened my eyes and turned, Haikal's hand. I looked back at Max.

Instantly both corners of my eyes brought up a grain of water, which in an instant spilled over my cheeks. I can't believe I indirectly caused my husband's Papa to stroke and suffer like this.

"Why did you get to gini anyway, Max?" lirihku while holding back my sobs.

My tears just kept flowing, falling down to wet the shirt I was wearing.

"Max also just found out this afternoon, Tik," added Haikal.

I'm still looking at Max, he's back to pick up a cigarette.

"I can still back out of this tender, but with consequences, my subsidiary will have to pay a fine of 20% of the total project budget" Max said.

"Papa Jefri knows about this?" shirihku.

"Maybe he only knew that his subsidiary lost the tender and he lost some of the funds."

"Details of your subsidiary?" cercak.

"Since this afternoon as soon as this news came down, I immediately tried to close the company's background meeting. And luckily from the beginning the company was on behalf of my colleague."

Max answered my question very strongly. He occasionally enjoyed a cigarette.

"There's another way to keep the Papa profitable and not feel like he's losing his money" Haikal continued, staring at Max.

"What?" quickly answer.

Max answered casually, "Acquisition."

"Color indirectly the subsidiary can already be declared damage, big loss" he added.

I shook my head many times, not believing what I heard this time. I wiped my tears, I tried to stop crying. My gaze was turned to a box of Haikal's cigarettes lying on the table. My cigarettes used to be the same as Haikal cigarettes.

Suddenly Haikal thrust the cigarette case at me, "It's ok. Max knows you're smoking."

I looked at Haikal with a look of disbelief, then Max chimed in, "If with a cigarette you can think clearly, it's ok. I do not deny, besides you already have your own income. And now you belong entirely to your husband."

I grabbed a box of blue cigarettes quickly, then I took a cigarette in it, I embroidered it with a match.

After a long time I do not smoke, now I can feel the pleasure again. My head seems to fly. I inhaled and then I opened my mouth a little so that my nose could suck the smoke, and then I exhaled violently. I closed my eyes, and then I repeated the activity again. I feel relaxed.

"I didn't know this would be like this. Maybe if from the beginning I knew, I wouldn't list my company for the tender" said Max, who opened his eyes and looked at him.

"What should I do? I'm afraid that ...."

"I'm telling you this isn't telling you to lie to Jefri. I just don't want you to know from anyone else" Max interrupted me.

"If I thought you could do both. But you have to talk. With this condition, your in-laws must ask Jefri to change his position. As soon as Jefri changed, you can talk to Jefri to make an acquisition. But let this be an internal secret for the four of us. Let both companies not know the background of each. How's it? Max?" haikal's Suggestion.

I looked back at Max. He seems to be thinking.

"Yes, that was the plan for a while" Max replied.

"But I know, Jefri will not resign the business of leading his Papa," said I now feel a little calm.

"Yes, look in the future how, obviously I'll get through this problem to the end." Max gave me certainty.

Hearing all that I like inhaling the smells of a way out.

After I finish my cigarette. I grabbed a bottle of cold drink that had been served Haikal, when I first came.

I just nodded slowly.

"Yes with me that way, we go along the way," haikal bargained, "I also want to squirm the condition of your in-laws."

We stood up and immediately headed to each other's cars and left Haikal's house.

---------------------------------------

Jefri POV's.

It's been over an hour since Tika called to tell me. She is also in the ICCU with Papa. Jerry looked sleepy and fell asleep in the chair beside me. A chair away from where I sat.

Mom came out, came up to me, "Papa says the same to you,"

I immediately stood up and followed the footsteps of Mama who brought me back into Papa's room. Papa opened his eyes.

"Pa-pa ma-u ka-mu pe-gang pe-ru-sah-an," said Papa who was stamped because of the feeding tube that entered through his mouth.

Papa's breath stung as he said that. I who was sitting next to him while grasping his right hand felt bitter. I can't bear to see Papa's condition like this.

"Pa, Dul thoughtin first huh?" shirihku.

Papa just blinked his eyes a few times. Then I saw a water that appeared in one corner of his eye. I know this was Papa's wish long ago, but to be honest, I refused not only because I didn't want to be said to be suksea for continuing Papa's business. But I want to stand on my own feet a sign of frills or a title from him.

Mama just kept quiet when she watched me with Papa face to face. I kissed the back of Papa's right hand so gently.

I can't stand all this! My inner.

After accompanying Papa and having a little chat about other things from the company, Papa finally went back to sleep. My mother then asked me to come out of this room. Allowing Papa to return.

Once outside the room turned out Tika had returned, not only him, his two brothers were there.

"Hey, how's Papa?" max asked as he greeted me with a handshake, followed by Haikal.

"Udah is getting better, hopefully it can get out of here" I said.

Then I approached Tika who was sitting with Jerry. Sitting next to him.

"Have you eaten?" my many.

He shook his head, "Not yet."

"Loh why? I said, you eat first."

"Ga wants to eat alone" he said rather spoiled.

I smiled at the answer, "Yes, we're looking for a meal here."

I say goodbye to all of them to take Tika to eat, because she has not eaten anything since noon.

We walked through the hospital hall until we finally got out of the hospital building. Grasping hands together without saying, right from the start. Enjoy the time, as if tomorrow were the last. Until we got to one of the depots. Yes the depot was located around the hospital so we were just on foot.

Me and Tika started ordering, then ate when our order came. Without saying anything. I only looked at Tika once, sitting in the chair of the depot's dining table, until we finally finished eating.

"Who?" ask me while igniting a cigarette.

Tika just nodded slowly.

I felt like there was something hidden. The moves are too unusual in my opinion right now. But I keep trying to relax. Confuses everything.
