THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE

Knower

Dr. Haris's family breakfast that morning felt different. They feel more delicious. The warmth is so visible.

There were two figures who looked timid. Who else if not Azka and Meli. As they were eating the dishes, ART Via arrived. They were indeed asked to come to look after Zayn during Via's leave to the office.

Not long after, the somewhat deflated voice of the girl was heard. The furore was created for a moment. Ratna was certainly the culprit.

They were asked to join us for breakfast together. The addition of family warmth is created, the enjoyment of eating is more pronounced.

After breakfast, Ms. Aisyah delivered Farhan using a car driven by Mr. Yudi. 5 Minutes later, Mr. Haris left alone for the hospital.

“You're not going to the office, Via?” ask Anjani.

“Bos will be free, Anjani,” chirped Ratna.

Via smile. He has not been in the office full time since Zayn's birth. He simply monitors the situation, leads important meetings, and meets important clients. That's why Mr. Arman was pulled into the head office.

“Iya, I'll just chair the board meeting at 9. That's when I came home. How about we take a walk?” Via made an offer.

“Mau! I want!” exciting Meli.

“Yes, but don't be so tacky. Baby Zayn will be shocked to hear your screams, lo!” anjani Tegur.

Zayn who was breastfeeding did stop his activities. Presumably, he was indeed disturbed by Meli's scream. Shortly thereafter, however, he resumed his activities.

“Where to go?” ask Ratna.

“How near is it? Nengokin your friend in Gembiraloka then to Malioboro?” proposal Via.

“How, Anjani, Meli” Ratna throws Via proposal to both guests.

“Terden, deh. We're just coming. You certainly know better a good place, “ said Anjani.

“Actually there are better ones. But, it's better the day after. You're still here, right? You are still on semester break, meaning a long holiday,” said Via.

“Spend your holiday time here only!” suddenly a man's voice came from the door.

Everyone looks at the door. Azka was already standing there by showing off her sweet smile.

“Cieee.. There are ngarep get together continue the same adoration, tuh,” ledek Ratna.

Meli is certainly nervous. He lowered his face which was beginning to get red.

“How about Anjani and Meli, want two weeks here? ask Via with a smile.

“I'm up to Meli. But not two weeks, either, time. I'll be angry with Uncle Sam. The important thing is Meli's longing for the he.aw!” The sentence Anjani hangs over the end of the shout.

Apparently, Meli who was sitting near Anjani landed a pinch that was quite powerful.

“Why, Anjani?” ask Via.

“No, there was an ant bite my plate like,” said Anjani.

Meli looks relieved. However, he did not dare to look at the door again.

“Yes already, the day after you guys are still here, yes!” said Via,”Now I want to go to the office first. You guys chatted with Ratna and Mas Azka. Finish the meeting, I'm straight back.”

After Via, they resumed the conversation. Azka tries to act ordinary, joining the girls.

“So, your olshop pioneer is Via? Awesome, she is really amazing,” praise Anjani after listening to Ratna's story about Azrina's beginnings.

“Maybe he inherited the nature of his late father. That said, his late father built the company now held Via, from scratch. Capital also borrowed.,” said Azka.

Meli's face suddenly changed. He seemed less happy to hear Azka tell him about the Via family.

“Mas Azka certainly understands about the Via family. Besides now sister-in-law Via, used to be an adopted brother,” said Ratna so see the change in the face of Meli.

“Dan, now he leads his papa legacy big company. The company had collapsed, but now back to its glory,” continued Azka.

“Great dong, Via. Building a collapsed company becomes big again,” said Anjani.

“That restores the condition is not Via, but the intervention of many people including Mas Farhan. Om and grandpa Via help inject fresh funds,” said Azka.

More silent. Actually, he was hiding his nervousness. Especially when Azka was talking. His heart felt like it was racing faster.

“Which is clear, now Wijaya Kusuma is back big. The company already has several more branches. Hence, Via was already unable to share his concentration with Azrina. He handed it to me,” Ratna continued.

“You're great too, Ratna. You can manage olshop as well as physical store,” said Anjani sincerely.

“I learned from Via. I also helped my friends. Via also helps. He's the one who paid the rent for the shophouse I'm in now. It was Eyang Probo who paid the rent. Eyang Probo was his grandfather Mas Azka, “ Ratna said.

Meli only occasionally responds. It was just a smile or a smile. Anjani catches the strangeness of Meli's usual attitude uproar.

“You canker sores, Mel?” anjani asked in a whispering voice.

“Not. But from then on you just shut up. Usually you are excited,” said Anjani.

“Kan I have learned a lot when I came here myself,” kilah Meli.

“Oh, means your main destination here this time is more to his vacation? Yesterday told me if you want to learn olshop again.” Anjani unlocks Meli's secret.

Meli's face flushed. He was embarrassed because Anjani exposed his secret. If he could, he wanted to hide into the Earth's crust. (Heat crust, Meli!)

“Ih, what the hell are you? I still want to learn. What Ratna said, I already know. I'll ask the others later. How about we go to the shophouse?” Meli tries to kink from Anjani's trap.

“Bby. Later tell Via if he is back,” said Ratna.

They again talked a lot of things.Tak feels short hand wall clock is approaching the number 10.

“Assalamaicum. Wow it looks so exciting. Chat what, anyway?” said Via who just arrived.

The four of them answered the greetings together.

“Kok is back? Not a meeting, Ma'am?” ask Azka.

“Already. The meeting was held for half an hour because everything was ready. Meeting smoothly so quickly finished,” replied Via.

“So open garment factory, Vi?” ask Ratna.

“Not yet decided. Tomorrow or the day after the new team works to review the plan. Indeed why?” Via asked back.

“Nothing. Who knows Azrina can be splashed take products at factory price hehe,” Ratna said.

“Nah, your business brain goes straight,” says Via,”I went to the room first found Zayn. Please continue the conversation! We're going for a walk, right?”

“Of course,” Reply Meli quickly.

Everyone laughed at Meli's reaction. Via rushed upstairs.

“Urusan streets. Queen Shopping immediately reacted,” joked Anjani.

“Queen Shopping? Ah, that's right! I'll wash my eyes the most, not shopping,” Meli denied.

“Iya, because the wallet is less thick. Try if the contents of your wallet are thick, you can call it shopping,” joked Anjani again.

Meli pout. In his heart he confirmed Anjani's words.

“Quiet, Mel! Here you can satisfy your shopping desire. There will be Mr. Boss,” Ratna said as she glanced at Azka.

Meli becomes clumsy. He was not happy with Azka. He remembered the amount of goods Azka paid when she went to Jogja before.

“Ah, not good. The same time of asking Mas Azka. Later Mas Azka pocket money runs out,” said Meli Lirih.

“See him that's equal to Azrina's profit a month.  His pocket money is intact again,” Ratna said.

Anjani and Meli are wide-eyed. He looked at Ratna, figuring out the seriousness of the girl's speech.

“Mas Azka is no ordinary college kid. In Medan he also worked on plantations that had been managed by his om Via. His salary is big,” said Ratna.

Azka looks blushed. While Anjani and Meli gawked to find out about Azka.

“Wah, it turns out Mas Azka is still young. Already the children of the people are, living he who is financed, working on a large plantation as well. If the model is like this, marriage now does not matter to him. He can already cope with inner birth. Uh, what do I think?” inner Meli. His cheeks frowned after realizing that his mind was too far away.

“Why, Mel? You don't have to hesitate if you ask for my boss's treat. Especially the big boss. He is more famous again,” said Ratna accompanied by laughter.

“Bos large?” Anjani looked confused.

“Via, I mean. If you only buy all the games in Azrina, it's small for him. Later you can take the game you like in Azrina, let me cut the salary of the big boss, continued Ratna.

“You mean?” Meli doesn't understand.

“Azrina belongs to Via. After handing it to me, he did not want to take part of Azrina's profit. But, I keep setting aside. Can be if only for a suitcase. Later you guys buy a new suitcase, deh.” Ratna blinked her eyes.

Anjani and Meli again gawked. He did not think that Via setajir.before, they only knew that Via successfully developed olshop.

Meli's shopping passion is back. However, the girl could still use her common sense to temper her tempestuous desires.
