The Poor Man Turns Out to be a President

23Return

A bright morning accompanied by a breeze blowing. Dew dripping foliage adds a sensation of coolness in the morning. Sunlight that peels inside the body, giving its own warmth. A beautiful girl just got out of the taxi, then walked slowly towards the store in front of her.

"Zulfa'sheng?" call Aida who came to Zulfa when she found out that Zulfa had just arrived.

"Eh ma'am Aida, just arrived ma'am? Tumben" said Zulfa about to open a shop. Hearing someone call his name, he turned his head and it turned out that Aida had also just arrived.

"Yes, there's a mother's son at home. She just arrived yesterday, mom's late. Masakin his favorite food neng" said Bu Aida walked over to Zulfa.

"Ohh new mother's child until yes, now so there is a nemenin is ma'am if you want to sleep. Not alone anymore" Zulfa replied opening the shop door and then they went inside.

"Yes, I'm not lonely anymore when I'm home. I don't know when he'll be back, he doesn't know. The plan is for the mother's child to find a job near here only. He said to let me not be lonely at home" Aida's mom put the bag behind her and went back to meet Zulfa in front.

"Good dong bu. So every day you do not need to be lonely anymore, there is something cool. Mother's children if they want to go home do not have to go far. But isn't your son married?" ask Zulfa, because of him if Aida's only child is one and is married.

"Mother's son has two neng, the first one is married. If the second mother's child has not, it is still working." said Ms. Aida.

"Ohhh so, are both men ma'am?" ask Zulfa again while arranging some bread.

"Yes neng, the mother's son is indeed all men. Actually, mom can't work with them. Lah mom bosen if at home alone, so yes gini looking for something that can be done as long as not heavy" said Ms. Aida who was in the cashier.

"That's the sign of my dear mother's son Aida. They do not want to tired mothers, it is their duty as children to help mothers. If Zulfa's mom were still around, I would do the same thing as my mom's son" Zulfa remembered her dead mother. He wanted to make his mother happy. But all of that was just a wishful thinking that Zulfa could not have achieved.

"Mama neng Zulfa was happy there. Surely now again see Neng Zulfa, just be patient. One day instead was a husband who could make Zulfa happy. Just pray neng" said Ms. Aida who has been considered Zulfa as her own mother.

"Yes mom, Zulfa now wants to focus on finishing college. Stay a little more graduated, if you have graduated, Zulfa can work for the future of Zulfa."

"You are a great and independent woman. Not dependent on parents. Your husband will be happy to have a good wife, soft, and beautiful like you want" said Aida mother made Zulfa embarrassed himself.

"Mom Aida could have. So make Zulfa ashamed. There is still a long time to find a mate" concluded Zulfa walked to the back to return the basket.

"Zulfa Teng..... Neng Zulf......There's-there" mumma bu Aida smiled at Zulfa's behavior.

It was time for Zulfa to deliver bread to the company of Abhimarta. He remembered hearing the news of the death of the sole heir of the family. Zulfa felt pity and thought why he could die so soon. The cause of death was not known or kept secret by the Arshana family.

"Mom, Zulfa pamphit between orders first yes. Get Zulfa to go to the supermarket" said Zulfa.

"Yes neng, be careful on the road. Don't speed the bike" said Ms. Aida.

"Look, ma'am, I never bring a motorbike speeding fear as well" replied Zulfa and then turned on the motorbike.

"I'll go first ma'am"

"Yes neng"

Zulfa drove as usual to deliver the order to Abhimarta's company. A few minutes later, Zulfa arrived in front of the company. He parked his bike in a normal place.

In front of the door was a guard. Zulfa went in and Anin was waiting for Zulfa. Today his work is not too much. Zulfa immediately handed Anin's order in a large red plastic bag. Anin also gave cash to Zulfa according to the price of the bread he ordered.

"It's still true" said Zulfa, putting the money in his pocket.

"Yes together" Anin replied smilingly.

"Ohh yeah, ma'am, can I ask you something?" glancing to the right and left.

"Ask what?"

"Hmm what's being told is true that Mr Arshana is dead?" ask Zulfa carefully.

"It's true, but we don't know what caused it. His family is hiding from the media and the public." replied Anin who also felt that Arshana's death was very sudden and why it should be kept secret.

"It's weird, too." thought Zulfa.

Daniel only glanced for a moment then continued his way out of the office. Zulfa felt something was strange, even though he had just met Arshan and Daniel once. But he could already feel the difference in Daniel.

"That's not Mr Arshan's assistant huh mbak? How different is not like it used to be" said Zulfa.

"Yes indeed, ever since Mr. Arshana left. Mr. Daniel is so cute, cold, just like Mr. Arshan was. Maybe because of being left behind by Mr. Arshan" Anin replied thinking for a moment.

"Hmm it could be, uh I didn't see Hans from earlier. Where's mbak?"

"Hans has been trained from here. He said back to his hometown. I'm not back here anymore. Why are you asking about Hans? What's wrong" Anin teased, Zulfa just smiled.

Daniel made a fake resignation letter and the reason Daniel made it up. He said that Hans trained on the grounds of wanting to return to his hometown and help his parents there. In reality, Hans is dead. No Arshan means no Hans either, because they are one and the same.

"Well, there's nothing to ask. I met him a few times, not too long ago. But yes quite familiar, not the same as me with my best friend Hans also know" replied Zulfa explained so that Anin did not think that kind of.

"There's no pa-pa Fa either. Hans is also a good person, yes even that"

"I can't talk about people's physiques. Not good, if you want to see it from his heart not from outside. Free dong handsome or beautiful if his heart is bad! Not necessarily ugly, ugly also his heart. So do not look at people from the physical" said Zulfa justify.

"Yes yes Zulfa, I know. Sorry there is no intention like that" Anin replied with a grin.

"Yes it is mbak. I'll go back first thanks"

"Yes, careful. Don't forget tomorrow"

"Ready man" replied Zulfa raising his hand respectfully like a soldier.

Zulfa left the company using his motorcycle. He would go to the supermarket first before returning to the store. Some will be bought by Zulfa, some of the goods that are out of stock. Soap, shampoo, and some other stuff.

After the supermarket, Zulfa went straight back to the store. Coincidentally, Zulfa will not have a course schedule. So that he can go for a walk with Maira after from the store, they have promised to watch together in a cinema. Before leaving Zulfa first returned to the dormitory to take a bath and change clothes.

Evening arrived, Zulfa said goodbye to Aida to return home. Zulfa took a taxi to the dormitory. Twenty minutes later, Zulfa arrived. He paid for it and got out of the taxi. Zulfa rushed to her room to take a shower and change her clothes. When Hendam opened the door, his room was locked.

"Kok's locked, Maira's not inside ya" Zulfa thought.

He took the key and opened the door. Each of them carries a key. Zulfa came in and there was no Maira. Looks like he went out somewhere. He had a bag on the table, and Zulfa picked up a shirt on the floor. He took a shower and waited for Maira to come.

After bathing and packing, Zulfa waited for the arrival of Maira who never raised the trunk of his nose.lapse of five minutes, finally Maira came to bring a brown paper back that is medium in his hand. Zulfa was astonished to see Maira carrying the paper back.

"Where are you Mai? For a long time, I was waiting for it" said Zulfa.

"Sorry Fa, I've bought this. The cake you like. Coincidentally again there is a promo so I bought it. The price is cheap, if the days are usually expensive. Very step to buy it, because it tastes good. Nih cobaim deh" Maira gave the paper back that she brought to Zulfa.

"Jeez Maira, thank you. I would love to eat for me, if we eat together. What's the promotion today?" ask Zulfa while opening the paper back. "Eeh you bought two? How much is it? Until you buy two" asked Zulfa astonished, because the normal price is very expensive.

"Yes, the promotion is just today. Take it easy cheap Fa, really a massive discount. Mangkana I was in a hurry to buy, get info from this meeting" replied Maira.

"Huh, I was with you Mai. I want to buy a lot of it too. mumpung promo right, if the normal price is expensive." said Zulfa.

"That's it, that's all eating. Do not eat a lot of chocolate and your teeth kropong loh, not old already eat porridge later" said Maira teasing Zulfa. Zulfa loves anything that smells of chocolate. Maira could say that.

"Yaelah Mai, not going kropong kali. Yes, if I eat it every day. Now that I rarely eat chocolate, I've forgotten when I last ate chocolate" Zulfa replied.
