When Love Teases

88. The Story of a Week LDR

Puput approached the car that stopped in front of his house. Via followed behind in curiosity. A toddler with a bule face was carried by his mother, and a boy was crouching on the side of an adult man who was checking the tires.

"Why the car, mbak?" Puput greeted kindly and smiled.

Yang was asked to smile back while patting the back of the little guy who was struggling to get down. "It looks like the inner tube broke, mbak. Husband check first."

"Pa paa's....Paaaa..." The adorable little one sulked with outstretched hands. The called one turned his head and told the boy to approach the little one who kept calling.

"Just playing with my brother. The father wants to change the tires first." The loving-looking brother rubbed his face on the back of the little one who then laughed with carelessness.

Making Puput and Via who witnessed spontaneous smiles because they were anxious with the behavior of the brothers.

"Mbak waitingnya on the terrace. The kids are hot." Take Puput who sees the weather towards a hotter day.

"Yes, Bun. Take shelter first, hot. I'm gonna change the tires." Sahut blaster-faced man who just pulled out a jack tool.

Along with the arrival of the supra motorbike which was ridden by Zaky to piggyback on Ami. They came home from the counter to buy a starter card. And Puput immediately told Zaky to help the brother who was dismantling the tire.

"Well, is it from Bandung?" Guess Puput because he saw the number of the car with a D license plate. "Where are you going? Uh, sorry for the kepo." Chuckles while watching the two children playing on the terrace.

The one asked smiled. "Yes Tea, from Bandung. It's going to Pangandran. Husband has a meeting later in the afternoon. Yes, all holidays."

"Hey funny sekaleee..Who's name anyway? Play here yuk the same Ami Tea."

Puput and Via's attention was on Ami who was talking to the little blonde girl. They were also curious to ask but first Ami.

"I'm Dika's brother, this is Mentari. This is Rahma's Mother." The boy named Dika who represented answered boldly.

"If I were a beautiful and cute Ami Tea, ehehehe." Sahut Ami while in style tilting his head. The two boys responded with a giggle. Ami and Dika quickly get along and work together to keep an eye on the cute little girl who enters the house.

"Snack....The mentari! Play here, baby!"

Sludge seemed to understand if the shelter guest was not feeling good. "No papa, mbak uh tea. His name is also a child. Funny about them..., how old are they?"

"Call mbak Rahma no papa, I'm originally an Acehnese not a Sundanese." Rahma smiled faintly. Who gets the nods of Puput and Via. "The firstborn is 5 years old, the younger brother wants 2 years."

Small talk is created just to fill the time while waiting for the job of installing spare tires that 2 people do is complete. Even Puput entertained by providing snacks and drinks. Which was unceremoniously devoured by those two adorable boys.

"Have it been done, Pah?" Rahma greeted her husband with mineral water.

The man asked nodded his head as he sat down beside his wife. "Berez. Fortunately assisted by this adek." he looked at Zaky who joined last.

"Oh yes, this is my husband. Mas Mizyan."

Puput and Via nodded their heads accompanied by a friendly smile while also introducing themselves.

"Bun, my friend in Jakarta is married to a Ciamis. Still her newlyweds..." The cross man looked at his wife.

"Oh yeah? What's his name, Pa? Once upon a time, someone knew." Rahma was curious.

The crossbreed man did not answer because the little one rushed into his arms and struggled spoiled.

"Put...Could it be Kak Ram in question?" Via whispering. But got a reply to the elbow and a faint ring from his best friend.

"Liat in her story last night. I complain why not let it go, say it's a new deal. Later to go to the reception in Jakarta. His name is Rama." Clearly Mizyan while peeping the top of the little guy's head that stuck in his chest. While Dika Anteng sat on the living room sofa listening to Ami who was somehow telling the story but was so expressive.

"Oohhh!" The strangling pup was held back because Via pinched his waist violently. Looking and looking with glancing eyes.

"Wuahh, Mother. Can be anchored in a place that fits like this." Via did not care about the annoyance of the Farts due to the spontaneous pinching just now. He looked at the two guests with a soft face. "This is Mas, ma'am, this is his wife Kak Rama. Just came from Jakarta because her husband had to fly to New York. Kasian ya...the new bride has to ldr an." This time he who got a pinch from Puput to complain. Makes a couple of husband and wife chuckle.

"Thank God, I never thought I could meet his wife Rama. We are business partners and friends in the automotive and moge communities. Same with Rama." Mizyan was sincerely pleased with this accidental meeting.

"Pa, eat here first! Said Teh Puput there is a pepes menu. I'm fasting fry-fry." Rahma looked at the friendly husband who replied with a sweet smile and nod of approval.

...***...

This afternoon Puput was at Enin's house with Aul. The meeting with a small family from Bandung this afternoon ended by exchanging contact numbers with Rahma. Also take pictures together to be sent to Rama. Feel happy to add new friends whose first impression looks sincere and pleasant.

In addition to coming to take Pajero to wear to the office tomorrow, Puput also delivered a tithe for Enin and Aunt Ratih from Mami Ratna. He said that when Enin held him off until dinner together.

"Aul, there's a greeting from Panji." Ratih's aunt held out her phone containing a chat with her only child that at the end of the message contained, "Mother, send greetings to Aul."

Aul read it and smiled wryly. "Wa'alaikum salam." he said.

"Reply use voice notes! Let Panji be sure that Mother has already taken her message."

"Eh---" Aul is agitated because his mother Panji is forced to give him a cell phone. He also complies. Sending voice messages with a shy blush face.

.

.

The face she missed was on the screen when she went to bed. Previously Puput first sent a photo of the shot last afternoon.

Puput explained the chronology while delivering a greeting. Which makes Rama mangosteen and justify if Mizyan was one of his good friends.

"Aa, have you had lunch?" Instead of Puput pay attention. Because in Uncle Sam's country it's still one o'clock in the afternoon. He deliberately rolled his hair high. Because it's something that the husband likes to expose his neck that is level and white.

"Yet. This just came out of the police station. The lawyer is still inside. Eat in the office all prayer."

For a moment no more words were spoken. Just look at each other and throw each other a sweet smile. Enough eyes that speak if the miss is real tempestuous.

"Darling, the stamp is starting to fade." Rama touched the neck as a gesture.

"Yes. Maybe another 2-3 days will vanish without a trace. No papa, Aa, let the ownership stamp fade. The important thing is that my inner birth is only yours. And my love won't fade even stronger." Remarkably, the puput ends biting the lips with a blushing face.

Rama took a long breath. "Darling, if tomorrow-tomorrow I rarely VC please understand! Because I will work hard so that this company is free and clean from the accusations of affiliated web networks *******. Because I want to go home soon. Want to eat my wife who became a pinter ngegombal." he said with growling because ignited passion.

Puput chuckles. "It is important that you take care of your health. I will always pray here to let all Aa's business be smooth and safe."

"Love you, my sexy wife." Rama nodded heavily. Giving kisses and blinks of eyes. "Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikum greetings, dear." Backlash gave a kiss and waved his hand.

Mondays. First day at the office after marriage. Puput got a different reception from his co-workers. All nodded respectfully and impressed formally. Moreover, he walked accompanied by an assistant who had the face of judes. If only yesterday had not known him, maybe he would have been as thoughtful as people if his assistant was a fierce person.

"Welcome back, Miss Puput." Hendra welcomed by opening the door of the workspace that used to be used by Rama.

"It's normal, Mr. Hendra. I'm still the old puput. Don't call me all." The protest of Puput who then observed the room that had those memories. No arrangement has changed. Only neatness and cleanliness are maintained with the fragrance of room fragrances strawbery his favorite aroma.

"Clearly different dong. You're my boss now!" Keukeuh the manager who made Puput resigned.

Briefing every Monday remains the duty of Mr. Hendra. Puput only complements the welcome by emphasizing the word LOYALTY to all staff standing outside the cubicle. After that, Puput invited the manager to his room.

"Sir Hen, all this time I've been curious about the warehouse division. This is a vital sector concerning the survival of the store. Starting today I want to focus on reforming the warehouse system. Please help, sir. We're doing this reform together." Puput said cautiously for fear of offending the manager. He did not accuse Hendra of lacking meticulous performance. But when he was accompanying Rama was not a warehouse, his gaze caught on the two staff standing in the corner talking in panic.

"Ready, Miss Puput. What can I help you with?" Hendra was very supportive.

"I'm asking for all the data on the warehouse division!" Lugas Keeper. With a definite motion, Mr. Hendra headed to his room to retrieve some of the required files.

The days of Puput were filled with a flurry of analyzing warehouse divisions. Sure enough, Dwi's existence helped him greatly. He appreciated the ability of the assistant who was observant to see some irregularities in the written report that turned out to be not in accordance with the facts of the stock in the warehouse as large as the futsal field. Many items of high value are lost without evidence of invoicing or street mail. On Friday, the final conclusion can be reached.

"We've cheated, Mr. Hen." The pupil breathed a heavy sigh. In his room there are only Dwi and Hendra who since Monday jibaku help analyze.

"I'm sorry, Miss Puput. I'm already off guard." Hendra stared with a look of regret.

Puput. "Sir Hendra is not wrong. Your responsibilities so far are very much without the help of an assistant. From now on we fix everything. I wait for the report of the magnitude of the loss before we take decisive action!"

The names of suspected warehouse staff have been bagged. Surveillance camera operators are already reporting some footage that reinforces the evidence.

The puput stretches his hand. Hendra's sir is out of his room. Dwi is serious with a laptop making a new scheme of warehouse management arrangement according to what he wants. He stared at the 5R figura on the table. The photo after the agreement, when both smile showing the wedding ring. The photo that became a moodboster while working wholeheartedly to save and advance the business assets owned by her husband.

Rama was not informed of this leak.he did not want to burden the husband who is also struggling in the country of people recovering companies that lost due to cases that are still in the process of inspection. A week into LDR. Communication remains well-established.

...***...

Puput and his assistant only work Monday to Friday. Tomorrow is Saturday afternoon he will go to Banyumas with his family. Will see a friend who will get married on Sunday. Novia and Adi have decided to ask for 10 million gifts in the form of money, not goods. Because it will be used to increase the down payment of home loans with sharia contracts. Will start the sheet by living independently as a halal couple, as a new family.

There's still an hour before the return. Her stomach moved from her chair.

"Where are you going, Princess?"

The puput holds the hand that will turn the door haandle. Mengulum smiled, feeling amused herself. For him Dwi is like a keychain that always follows wherever he goes. Despite having lunch with Via, his assistant was still accompanying him. Under the pretext it is a mandatory duty from Mr. Rama, he said.

"I'm going downstairs. I want to check the visitors are still rame. Mba Dwi doesn't have to come. Continue the work." The puput held back with a hand gesture at the assistant who got up from his seat.

"It's done. It's shut down again."

Be Escape the room accompanied by Dwi. He patted Via on the shoulder as he passed the cubicle. The thumbs up and the smile of the friend.

Pinching the last ladder and about to turn to the right, Puput held back Dwi's steps. Also put an index finger on his lips accompanied by a faint head bobble. Even rewind the steps so that its existence is blocked by shelves displaying ceramic posters.

"Sorry, I can't help you. That's too risky. I could be fired."

"Puput is on holiday tomorrow. As a director, he only works until Friday. Looks like he's going to Banyumas. His best friend wants to marry."

Silent.

"Ehem." Puput.

Make the person who just finished talking on the phone turned his body and was surprised. Until his phone fell out of his grasp.
