Wife On Paper

Chapter 229

"I'll buy it, sir?"

"But I'm not selling, sir. If you want to sign, please."

A neat-looking man with a stelan blazer came to the fathers of the landowners who initially wanted to sell the land and the building. But today he changed his mind.

"Yesterday I got the info if it was sold. I want to help my brother who is in need. The plan is to make a place of business, sir."

"I'm sorry, sir. Coincidentally my sister's his heir. He changed his mind and didn't want to sell it."

"Well, then I have a 5-year contract. If one day your brother changes his mind, call me on this number yes, sir," said the man who wanted to buy the land to give his business card.

The men were shocked, he thought the man in front of him would only contract for one to two years. "Not too long, sir?"

"No, all of you. Call that person for the price. Later the money I transfer," said the man who will contract the house. Then he bailed

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"Which house, brother?" tanya Sinta slowed down the speed of the motor. Today Ara asked Sinta to deliver her to see the house that will be on her contract.

This morning Ori gave her full address. It was not far from the orphanage. Make it easier to visit often to that place according to his promise to the head mother.

"Jl. The Rindang no 5 A. Doctor Ori said right way." Ara's lips were about counting while looking at the numbers in each house. "Stop Sin! it seems like this," pointed Ara at a house with a very strategic position. The house had a large empty garden next to the building.

"Betul Kak this, just look at the number," pointed Sinta on the iron plaque that reads 5 A. "Doctor ori is smart, brother. Even looking for a house according to which Brother and he got it quickly and precisely," Sinta praised the idol man.

"Yes, look at the empty garden next door. It is quite extensive, not to plant a variety of flowers or fruit plants that I will sell," said Ara imagining his desire to be independent soon become a reality.

"But Brother is alone here with Merra. Who's gonna help Brother?" Sinta's face suddenly muddied thinking about it.

"You can play here, or stay overnight. The important thing is that your responsibilities at the parlour are not disturbed Sin." Ara patted the girl's back soothingly.

"really? Asi!" Sinta soared happily until almost dazed.

Not long after, Ara contacted Ori to confirm the price. And everything is taken care of by Ori, Ara just change the money.

A few years passed.

The little chubby baby grew up to be a beautiful and cheerful child. Ara's days were beautiful because of it, seeing it as if seeing Adrian. So that the miss in the man, a little treated. Merra is now 6 years old. He went to school in one of the private Kindergartens in Bandung.

Merra has genes that are more downgraded than her father. High posture, white skin, and a beautiful face that is very similar to the older brother. At first glance the girl was like a female version of Dani.

"Ma, there's a Sunday at school. There are Master Ma'am and also some volunteer brothers who will share knowledge on how to survive in the forest. Merra can come, Ma?" the little girl hugged her mother from behind.

"Merra's interested? If Merra likes it, of course you can come along. Just one day, right?" ask Ara to her little girl.

"Yes. But stay over, Ma. So Merra sleeps in the tent," explained Merra, this little girl must not have been able to imagine what it would be like to sleep in the tent. But it is also necessary to teach him independence.

"Means camping also dong. Is it true that my mother can sleep there?Because usually later Merra sleeps under no mattress. Merra wants?"

"Now, Ma. Merra likes to look around on TV like that adventure, Ma. Eat as it is, sleep as it is...."

"Can't bring your doll, yeah. Pillows should not be used either. Merra brought a sleeping bag with her mother" said Ara who now finally sat down and her little girl was in her lap.

"Yes Merra knows. Yesterday, Master gave a message like that. Yeah, Ma. Merra was told to bring it, but forgot to tell Mama, It's hard to do." The little girl chuckled at the amazement of the mother who could tell what she needed. "But ... The bathroom is still there, isn't it, Ma?"

Ara held back her laughter hearing Merra who asked that. This is the first time the little girl has ever been to camp at her school. He was not worried if he could not bring his favorite things there. The little girl was worried, even the bathroom.

"If his tent in school, certainly still there, Mer. There's a school bathroom, right? But if it is really adventurers who go down the mountain or forest, yes the bathroom is nature," said Ara while cutting the shoots to speed up the process of fruiting.

This beautiful woman now sells flowers. There are many different types of flowers that he has. And he was only assisted by two workers who also lived in his house. A couple who are elderly, but still want to keep working and busy themselves.

"Absolutely dong, Ma?" Suddenly Merra's face showed concern.

"The situation does require that, dear. Not haphazardly. He said you like nature, if you have grown up wanting to enter the Mapala members, why is his face so," taunted Ara who teased her little girl.

"God ... It's still a long time, Ma. Merra is now only 6 years old, that's thought about later. Ma, how come Aunt Sinta hasn't been here yet? Though already promised to take Merra to the supermarket buy snacks, make provisions later Sunday."

"Just wait, maybe Auntie's still bothered in the parlour." The little girl said, she went into her room.

Not long before the sound of the car horn. Ara immediately stood up to recognize the owner of the car that went straight into his yard.

"Om Ori....!" shouted Merra who came out immediately to find out if Oryza came.

"Hallo pretty! How's it tidy, where are you going?"

"Waiting for Aunt Sinta to come, Om. He said he'd take you to the supermarket, but it hasn't arrived yet." Merra pursed her lips, putting on that pouting face in front of her Om. A man he knew as a child, and loved him very much. That's the story of my mom.

Oryza got out of his car. The man who had been visiting Ara almost every day, only smiled knotily looking at Merra who was standing in front of him.

"You're getting ushered in Om?" Oryza crouched down in front of the little girl for her height to match.

"Let's be with Sinta, Ri. You must be tired just coming home from practice. Maybe soon he will come" cried Ara from the garden.

"It's okay. I'm just tired of sitting, unlike you who have to lift the pot and land up and down," Ori's lyrics that must have irritated ara. Ori wants to see Ara's reaction. Because this man is not out of thought, there are many professions why Ara even chose to sell flowers that are troublesome according to him.

"Every human has a different passion Oryza Sativa aka rice. If you're his passion with the kids, I'm his passion in flowers. So can't compare. If everyone is a doctor, who is sick? Just like me, if everyone is a florist, no one will buy" said Ara while giving fertilizer to her orchids.

"Yes ... Yes, I lost again. Uh, but by the way my name is oryza satrio not oryza sativa!" Well, even so Ori who is provoked by emotions. He was the one who seduced Ara.

"Oh, go the same Om. Later we approach aunt Sinta. Who knows Aunt Sinta there is no motor to make here or bother what it is," Ori bargained to the little girl who was struggling in her lap. He's not angry anymore.

"You, Merra wants Om, but mama's permission first."

"It certainly can, it goes the same Om. Can you, ma? Merra Om kidnap?" Ori looked up, then looked at Ara from a distance asking for an answer.

The woman shook her head. It's not that he can't, but he certainly can't resist it. Because Oryza accompanied Merra's development of the baby. It even helps her a lot.

"Mother why not just marry Doctor Oryza, he is kind and also very dear to Merra," he said, the man's shady view was like a father giving advice to his son.

"There's a lot I can't tell you, sir. I assume Ori is like my sister, because Merra's father will never be replaced by anyone."

"Sorry, Mom. Is Merra's father dead?"

Ara shakes. "I'm sure dad

Merra is still healthy to this day. But in order to bring Merra together with her father, I needed the miracle and mercy of God. So I gave it all to him. It's late afternoon, father and mother rested soon. Don't be so tired. I want to hire my father and mother here to accompany me, not just take care of all this," Ara told Mr. Santo who was in front of him.

"Thank you, son. Even our son never worried about us like you did." Mr. Santo lowered his head, wiping away the tears on his cheeks. The old man misses his children. If Ara only knew the whereabouts of her adoptive parents, she would be happy to be a missed child.

Mami, papi, where are you? My journey has come so far, but why is our destiny not at all close.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"Dad! Daddy?" Dani put his head in the narrow gap he made himself by opening the door of his father's room.

It's 7am, but Adrian hasn't been seen coming down from his room. Not even at the dining table did he find his figure. Until the young man who now more often replaces the father in managing the family business is forced to rise again.

Dani was forced to enter, the father's bed was even neat, even though Yulia's aunt said she had not entered at all into this room, then who tidied up?

"Daddy's mood is here" Dani said as soon as she found her father sitting facing the road.

"Hey, are you ready? Daddy hasn't even taken a shower yet" Adrian made small talk with his son.

Dani approached, seeing a cup of coffee in front of her father. The young man picked up then observed the contents which only stayed half. "Daddy made it himself?" The look of disbelief he showed the father.

Adrian nodded, the man understood that no one believed him to do such a small thing. "Even I made my own bed, did you see that?"

"No way!" The young man put the cup back into place, then sat down beside the father while gluing his body.

"That's because you've never been in Daddy's room, only recently, right? Ask aunt Yulia, it has been a month she was only in charge of checking if there is something that has to be replaced. Otherwise, he's never been in Daddy's room,"

"Daddy's weird! Syndrom ahead of unemployment seems to be," said Dani origin. But the young man even drank the coffee the father even spent it. "Daddy was supposed to be a barista at my coffee shop in Switzerland, too,"

"Basically the child does not know himself!" Adrian rubbed the boy's forehead. "Daddy, even if unemployment is successful, Daddy will still be a commissioner not after this" he said to the child. "Wait on! your offer is interesting too. Daddy will think about it first, maybe spending Daddy's retirement there can be Boy."

"NO! I still need Daddy here. Daddy can't go anywhere, it has to be here with me, period!"

"Emm...."

"STOP! I'm leaving and Daddy has to catch up. Don't worry about me, Daddy could be late. I'll cut Daddy's pay later. I'm leaving!" The young man even waved his hand as he walked away from the father.

"Ck! You stubborn. Why not admit that you still want to stay with Daddy. Seeing you was like seeing Daddy's youth, Boy! Or maybe this is also the reason he postponed the handover of all these companies? It's been almost 6 years he's been here, but still chuckles with his servants," murmured Adrian lirih.

"Master is fine?"

"Of course, do I look sick, Bi? Where did Aunt come from, why is she suddenly here?"

"Master was busy talking to himself until he was unaware of my arrival." Aunt Yulia came with a tray of Adrian's breakfast. "I have a mandate from the Young Master, that I should see with my own eyes if the Master spends this breakfast before the Master leaves."

"Dani?" Aunt Yulia nodded. A plate of fried rice and strawberry juice was ready in front of Adrian, and ready to move into the man's stomach.

"The boy is his behavior." Although usually he is enough to just drink a cup of coffee as a booster stomach if morning, but this time Adrian according to.

"Every cooking fried rice, I remember Madam, sir," said aunt Yulia suddenly.

Adrian was stunned, he put a mouthful of rice into his mouth. His eyes heat up when he hears the wife's name.

"Sorry, sorry Sir. I didn't mean to offend you. I_"

"It's okay. I miss him a lot too, Bi. May God still be kind to me, Bi." The man continued his breakfast in silence. Because aunt Yulia felt guilty, just wait for Adrian to finish breakfast. While Adrian, it can be expected what he felt.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"Saturday is empty, right?" ask Dani for his assistant. Apparently the father did not want to lend his assistant to Dani. So now, Dani has his own assistant, which is Leo. The man is no less handsome than the master, but Leo is a few years older than Dani.

"Yes Sir. We will finish all the work today. The eagle also said there is no important meeting tomorrow. So you can be free for two days" Leo explained as he shifted the sophisticated object in his grasp.

"okay! We're gliding to Bandung, Saturday afternoon. Sunday morning, the work began. I don't want to be late."

Leo nodded, then handed over some important files to Dani.

Now Dani has his own room, next to his father's. Actually Adrian allows them one room, after all the CEO position is only held by one person.

But back again, Dani reasoned if he still needed the father to be the leader of this large company. There are two CEOs now. The name listed remains Adrian, but the operation is almost fully held by the child.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"Where are you going, neat like this. A date?" Adrian came down from his room and found the child was neatly sitting in the living room.

"What's every Sunday night and I'm out, Daddy always thinks I'm dating? I'm going to Bandung, Daddy's coming?" Dani was a little upset to answer.

"Daddy next month alone, what are you there for, Dan? As long as Daddy had no official trip to Bandung" asked Adrian who saw there was a bag that seemed to contain some of his son's clothes.

"Just play, Dad. I'll share a little of my experience at the kids' school."

"What experience? Since when do you like kids?" Adrian was shocked to hear Dani's confession. What science would the young man try to share with the children?

"Just fine the story. Leo has arrived. Bye Daddy's." Dani hugged his father for a moment. No matter the face of Adrian who was still astonished by his words just now, the young man immediately ran forward.

They are like friends outside of office hours. But Leo still called him Master, although repeatedly Dani did not want to be called like that.

"Suspicious!" Without waiting any longer, Adrian immediately contacted the Eagle to follow his son.
