The Stupid Shaft

PREVENT STORMS

"I'm going to propose to Deta tomorrow" Ricky told his entire family.

All the members of the Sanjaya family, plus Mika's presence, have gathered in the lounge of Ricky's new home.

Ricky had already taken Deta and Dania home. Because he wanted Deta to rest before their important day.

"Why tomorrow?" mika asked in a slightly disappointed tone.

"Faster, better." replied Ricky flatly.

"Yes, Honey. That's right Ricky said," Rika agreed with her son's words.

"But, Aunt ...," Mika looks doubtful.

"Why, Honey?" Bu Rika stroked Mika's unraveling hair.

Ricky stared intently at Mika. Waiting for the answer to come out of the woman's mouth.

"I have a photo shoot tomorrow, Auntie," said Mika disappointed.

A thin smile was drawn at the corner of Ricky's lips hearing Mika's reply.

"You can't *r*e-schedule your schedule, honey?" tanya Rika meant to comfort Mika.

Mika sighed. "Unfortunately, I can't, Auntie."

'That high honor and promising popularity for my future, there's no way I can resist.' Inner Mika worried.

"Then, after your work is done. You can come to Ricky and Deta's show." Again, Rika tried to cheer Mika up.

Mika smiled wryly. "No way, Tan," in Rika's hand. "The location is quite far away and is outside the city. I probably won't be back in two to three days" he said.

"Good, go. But make sure you can be present at their wedding." said Refita who was across the sofa.

"I try, sister." Mika finally.

***

After Mr. Firman came out of his study, Ricky immediately grabbed his phone and pressed a button to contact someone.

"Hallo, good day, sir!" The voice of someone across the line.

"Piang. I want you to do something" Ricky said without further ado. The absence of an answer from the person opposite the call made Ricky continue his sentence. "Make him unable to attend my application, however. But remember! Don't hurt him!"

"Good, sir."

Tut's...

Ricky hung up his phone and stared out the window.

'I'm sorry. I just don't want to lose her.'

***

Deta's fear of her parents' blessing must be delayed because Mika continues to bother her about the dress she will wear at her application.

"I don't know, Mika. I'll just wear the clothes that are in my closet." Deta replied finally after Mika kept pushing her.

"Can't do that, Deta! This is a very important day. You have to buy a new dress for your application." Sigh Mika as she continues to stare at Deta from the tip of her hair to the tip of her foot.

He still framed Deta's body with both hands. "What kind of a dress is right for you, huh?"

"Simple dress, honey. Aunty sure Deta does not like things that are too complicated." cried mom Rika with a smile that painted her shady face.

"Simple, uncomplicated, and ...," Mika twisted Deta's body. "Sweet," continued Mika enthusiastically.

Mika turned to Rika who was watching the two sweet girls who were just as important to her.

"How about a dress like that, Auntie?" mika asked a little scream.

Ms. Rika just smiled and pointed her two thumbs.

"What color do you like, Ta?" Mika asked while playing her tab.

"I like bright colors but still soft and inconspicuous" Deta replied. "Ah, and .. don't really show my body." continued Deta with a slight red hue on her cheek.

"Alright," Mika replied without looking at Deta as she was still busy with her tab.

Seeing Mika who seemed to be busy, Deta also chose to approach Rika's mother who was playing with Dania.

"Mom" Deta was about to say something.

"But ...,"

"Nothing but." replied Rika softly.

Deta smiled stiffly, he was confused about how to behave towards Rika in the future.

***

Mika is still busy with her tab, so she does not realize that Deta has left her alone.

"How about this dress, Ta? I think it's a perfect fit for you." Mika turned her tab in the direction where Deta was standing before.

But he did not find the figure of Deta there. "Eh, where is he?"

His eyes were looking for the existence of Deta, until he found the figure of Deta who was smiling at Rika.

As he was about to step toward Deta, his phone suddenly rang.

"Hallo?" mika said as she answered her phone.

"Mikayla Sutomo?" ask someone across the line.

"Yes, right. Who am I talking to?"

"*S*Saya from xx company would like to offer you an advertising contract. If you're interested, we can sign the official contract at our office."

Mika fell silent. The offer from the company was long awaited.

'His contract must be of high value, not to mention the popularity I could gain after cooperating with them. I can't miss this golden opportunity.' Think Mika.

"Hallo's? Are you listening, Miss Mikayla? "

"Ah, yes. I concur. When was the plan for the shoot?"

"Tomorrow,"

"What's? Why so suddenly?" mika asked surprised.

"Because our boss just picked you and he doesn't like to wait. Is your schedule full?"

'I mustn't miss a golden opportunity like this.' Sure Mika. "No! I agree." he replied.

***

Ricky smiles, he can breathe a sigh of relief because Mika will not attend his application event with Deta.

"Duh, who wants to get married looks very happy," seduced Refita saw her sister was smiling.

He thinks Ricky keeps smiling because he's happy to get married.

It's true Ricky is happy to soon be troubling Deta, the girl who can make him accept the fact that he is not an ordinary person.

But the happiness that radiated from his face at this moment was more because he managed to prevent a storm that could have destroyed his happiness and dream of being able to live together with Deta.

"Of course!!! I'm so happy." said Ricky as he continued to smile.

"Sorry, I can't keep you company. But I'm really happy for you." said Mika then hugged Ricky.

'Forgive me, Mika. I did it for the good of all of us.'

Tucked guilt in Ricky's heart for blocking Mika from coming to her happy event.

'I wish there wasn't a bigger storm.'
