The Replacement for the CEO

Shindy

"Oh yes, there are kebaya and also jewelry that you will wear during the marriage contract. You will get married in this place. So let this kebaya stay here."

Mbak Sera handed me a box containing a set of white kebaya along with a very beautiful gold jewelry.

"Yes, Mommy." I also nodded in agreement.

"After this, you go home and prepare yourself. Oh yeah, Mas Reyhan doesn't like women with tangled hair. If you can, watch your hair. For your first night, he's not badmood."

I know, behind that speech, there was a thousand pains in his heart. Which wife gives her husband a relationship with another woman? But Sera loved Mas Reyhan very much. No wonder she would do this crazy thing to get the blessing of her mother-in-law.

I don't know, along the way I daydreamed a lot until when the car drove me home, I didn't realize it had arrived.

However, after I got out of the car and headed home, I could see the neighbors peering out from their porches. That look! They must be thinking something about me.

"Hi, Ai, where are you from?" ask Susi, the neighbor's son who just came home from college.

"There's a need to be in town" I said as casually as I could. Don't let my nervousness make him suspicious.

"Well, good to get in the car. It must be expensive, where are you money from? Your salary is just fine for eating," he said intentionally. I saw him laughing at me for making fun of me. He and his mother are the same. Always happy to see our troubles. They are our closest neighbors. But even those who like to spread strange rumors about us. Even about the father who is in debt, they also know and that makes the hottest gossip here. Fortunately, the failed suicide was not spread. If they spread, they will become more rampant.

"Yes no papa, I'm just surprised that the same people who can live a relaxed life like you even though his father is in debt."

"So how do you want me? Blubbering? Curate on the sosmed like your mama?" I intentionally insinuated it. Mama Susi really likes to vent on social media about her household problems. Even the problem with his neighbor was often described on his social media account.

"Let's be important mama I have a lot of money, not like you poor. I'm poor, even a bell...."

Susi's words stopped when she saw the courtyard of my house that was filled with people. Some people surround a new motorcycle that costs tens of millions.

Oh, my God, sir, he must have gotten a transfer from Mas Reyhan so buy this right away. My parents never changed.

I saw that some of the people in my yard were my neighbors. They look very surprised with the motorcycle that you bought. Obviously, here, no one has a motorcycle like that yet.

"Sir, Ilham, how can you buy a new motorcycle? Must be owed in the pinjol, huh? Well, no kapok, sir, did the depcollector come in again?" said Ms. Dina who is Susi's mother, who I said earlier, the closest neighbor to us.

I can see from the look on his face that seems unhappy with your new motorcycle. Susi and I immediately walked over to see the motorcycle more clearly.
