The Young Guardians of the Heart

Chapters 14. Bagas Working Duty

The three other people who were eating in the afternoon were seen to be silent without anyone to say a word, including Nadia who only focused on the plate in front of her, as well as never sipping the juice that the restaurant provides for him, plus a glass of water his favorite.

The girl felt that she was not needed to talk, unless she was asked by her Uncle or the boss of her uncle. What Nadia thinks is inversely proportional to what is in the mind of a Ferdi, he said, the man was busy to think about whether he deserved to invite Nadia to do a cooperative relationship that is mutualism with the meaning of the word – is mutually beneficial.

Ferdi was the first to finish eating that afternoon, taking a tissue to clean up the leftovers on his lips. Looking at a glimpse of Bagas' face that looks focused on the plate in front of him who also just finished his meal. As Ferdi looked at the girl who was exactly sitting before him, Nadia looked without the slightest shame present as she was, as she was, casually chewing all the food in his mouth and looking at the plate The girl still left about a quarter of the plate.

‘This girl is still too innocent to live in the city of Jakarta even with my handsome face she is not interested at all and continues to eat according to her habits without any embarrassment! How to eat it really looks adorable, jeez .. why am I so hard not to look him in the face?’ Gone seemed to be grinding his head slowly, luckily well he and Bagas were completely unaware of what the man was doing.

“Oh yes Bagas, for next week's activities to be held in the Papua area, are you ready to go alone to it?” Ferdi started to open the conversation.

Nadia who heard the question of her uncle's superiors suddenly dropped a spoon and fork from her hand so that she heard the clang of the cutlery with a plate. The girl immediately turned to the Uncle with a sharp look full of question marks.

“Om Bagas want to go to Papua? How did you never say to Nadia? Nadia is not used to living in Jakarta, Om .. continue the time to be left immediately?” the girl protested with a sour face showing a pouting face.

How Nadia was not shocked when she heard Ferdi's question to her uncle because of that of course there will be a relationship with him that will be left alone Uncle at home, although the house was not large and was also accompanied by a middle-aged servant. However, he still felt afraid of leaving the Uncle, especially if something bad happened to him or to Bagas himself.

Even the corner of the eyelids of the girl who came from the village had begun to tear up because she felt sad to be left behind by the uncle, the person who in fact only lives the only family he has.

“Nadia, you calm down dong, darling! Om ask you to start learning to be an adult from now on, make it a habit to do everything yourself even though there is an Aunt at home, but Om will keep watching you and later let Om ask one of his close friends to take you to school,” said Bagas said softly to his nephew because he saw the two black beads the girl had started to stem the tears that were about to come down through the cheeks.

Nadia shook her head as her face lowered. There was a gurgle of sadness and fear mixed into one that radiated from the hue of his face, and Ferdi could read it right then and there.

“If this is how, let me be in charge with your nephew during your duty in the Papua region. I promise to take good care of Nadia. So in this way you can still go to Papua to carry out the duties of the company and I will still be able to accompany your mother to seek treatment and all guard your nephew,” beber Ferdi tried to give the idea that was in his head because actually the idea was embedded so slick in his brain.

Indeed, initially Ferdi never had the slightest plan to use Nadia to be used as an event to thwart his engagement with Firda who had been betrothed by both parents, especially the father. The betrothal that Ferdi hated the most was also with Renaldo because the two brothers would reject firmly whatever the name of arranged marriage, especially based on the word mutual relationship cooperation company to be mutually beneficial.

“But boss, aren't you very busy to take care of your own family and I don't want to interrupt your activities during giving time to the big mistress. I have asked Farel for help so that he would pick Nadia up during my out-of-town service, and he has also supported her,” bright Bagas politely because it is impossible for him to trouble a leader just to pick up his nephew during the left to work out of town. Even the slightest thought was never in Bagas' head to ask his superior for help, but why does it seem like Ferdi is eager to take and carry out his duties as an uncle during his service to the Papua region.

“I can, you call Farel and cancel your silly request for help! Let me take care of your nephew and also take Nadia while you are away, you do not have to worry because I can be responsible with all my heart no matter what happens!” sela Ferdi instead told Bagas to break his promise to help Farel.

Bagas turned to Nadia, seeing that the girl did not touch or interrupt her words with Ferdi at all. Of course Nadia did not dare because the girl could not possibly impose her will on the Uncle, let alone her uncle was currently talking to the boss who paid Bagas every month, he said, so how dare a Nadia who came from the village interrupt the conversation of adults like them.

“Is the Boss sure that Nadia will not trouble you later?” ask Bagas to convince him because all of that feels very unlikely to him. Where would a superior help his duties as a subordinate who would leave a little girl while he went to work?

“Gini aja, Gas, I'm tired of dengerin lo formal talk of earlier .. anyway currently there is only me, lo and also pound this lo! I promise God I will take care of your bangakan until you return to Jakarta. When is it necessary if there will be a very big problem and requires me to be in front to protect Nadia's life, then I will do it! Are you satisfied with it now? Ribet is very so people, just leave to go to Papua for a week, keep coming back here, you can meet again like this lo ponakan! I will also not sell your nephew!” cecar Ferdi slightly raised his tone.

Bagas really felt very surprised by the attention of his current superiors, because what they discussed now was his niece who would be left behind, but why the CEO of Singgalang Group is like a person who is angry for no reason. Wouldn't it be natural for Bagas to ask one of his trusted friends for help? Is it possible that his boss is jealous because he has a taste for his nephew? It doesn't feel possible.

‘No way, if Ferdi likes Nadia. Wouldn't that really happen to look like a pedophile? Astaghfirullahal ’adzim, why am I so ugly minded like this my own best friend, let alone Ferdi so far really keep himself from creatures whose names are women. Damn the woman named Firda did not have the slightest good manners! Do you think Ferdi deliberately wanted to get close to Nadia so that Firda could stay away and thwart their fiancee's show under the pretext that Ferdi already had a lover? Masa Ferdi dropped the same choice Nadia anyway? My niece is still too small for a Ferdi, isn't our family like heaven and earth with the Sanggal Group family?’ muttered Bagas in a questionable heart, but his gut feeling said that what he thought must be true because Ferdi really hated the matchmaking of his parents.

“If the boss has already said that, I even really like Nadia nitipin the same Boss! But remember, pound me do not be anything he is still a child, still innocent age aja aja a dozen years so Boss do not ever sort of ponder me!” concluded Bagas finally could not refuse the offer of help from his best friend who is also at the same time as his own boss.

‘Yes Allah, I ended up like a very valuable item left to others with my own Uncle to keep my life in order to stay fine. Servant pleads with You O Allah, protect Om Bagas from all dangers until my Uncle returns to my side and will never be separated again, Aamiin,’ muttered Nadia berto’a hopeful to the almighty to always keep her uncle wherever he is.

“Means the problem of lo who will go to the service outside the area is no longer there, just one week away Lo departs from Jakarta first to Surabaya to retrieve the files in the unit there, only after that you take a plane from there to Papua!” ferdi's decree was immediately taken by his personal assistant.

“Sorry yes Om Ferdi, why did Om not tell others to replace my Uncle to go to Papua?”
