Chapter 237



A few days passed, though,


"Where are you going, Boy? It's not even late and you're ready to go home" Adrian asked his son.


"Today until tomorrow, Daddy's in charge here. All my tasks have been completed." Dani prepares to go home when the father enters her room.


"Where are you? Any events?"


"Young man, Dad. Should I always report all my business outside to Daddy?" Dani. His gaze was solemn without a smile, making Adrian feel uneasy.


"It's not so, Boy. Never mind, if your job is done." Adrian reached out his hand, rubbed his son's arm, then came out without saying goodbye.


After Adrian came out, Dani was silent. I don't know what the young man was thinking. Both hands were resting on the table in front of him. With a slight bow, he seems to think or maybe even daydream.


Leo who had seen what had happened, did not dare to ask or start talking to his master first.


Because when he left Dani for Adrian's room, the young man was fine. Very different from what I see now.


Dani walked past Leo without looking at him. "We are leaving now" said Dani, accompanied by a nod of his assistant who immediately tailed behind him.


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


"Master,"


Leo paused his words. He saw the master who was engrossed in his cell phone and was still in silent action.


"Hem."


"Is there anything you still need? Before we go and slide to Bandung?" Leo glanced at the rearview mirror above him and peered at the employer's reaction.


"What's a good gift for kids?"


"Anything they like, sir. If the amount is large, can be bags and stationery. But if it's a little, girls love dolls and guys are usually robot-like toys," Leo replies dividing his focus on the streets and Dani.


"We stopped by the doll shop" Danu said next.


"Ready, Sir."


Leo glided to the best doll shop in town. Although the road is jammed but because of his shrewdness, Dani's assistant broke through many mouse paths which is certainly safe to quickly get there.


"Come, you come down" Dani asked her assistant. Leo just followed behind him.


Dani is seen standing in front of a display case of various dolls. But he did not immediately choose, he just rolled his eyes to see a glimpse of a row of neatly lined dolls then seemed to open his phone again.


Leo behind him was curious.


Why the employer did not immediately choose, but instead was engrossed in playing mobile phones. Without the need for excessive effort, Leo's eyes stared at the phone screen of the employer that was clearly visible from where he stood.


Geez, apparently the Master asked google what kind of doll the children liked.


Not long after, Dani appeared to step foot closer to the Mickey Mouse doll, then Donald Duck, Winnie the Pooh and many other cartoon characters. The young man was confused. Even though the phone has said whatever the children's favorite.


"Imagine you're a girl. Take the one doll you really like, Le?" dani asked while holding the doll.


"What, Master?" his heart suddenly slowed down. I've never been a daughter, sir," said Leo flatly.


"I mean like."


"Can't, Sir. Suppose I can't stand it" said Leo.


"Just answer!"


"Pony horse, sir," replied Leo of origin. He often saw children crazy crazy with the cartoon character.


"There is? Which one's called a pony?" Dani stared one by one hundreds of dolls in front of him but did not find any horse-shaped dolls.


"Here, sir," call Leo behind the storefront behind Dani.


"So this is what's called a pony. Horse-shaped?" Dani was astonished to receive the pony doll that Leo had extended to her.


"And his name's a pony, sir. Yes definitely animal horse," said Leo slowly while waiting for the reaction of the employer. hopefully not excessive.


"Hemm, I know that. Try to get all those colors," point to Dani.


Leo took the six colors of the pony doll and arranged them in front of the master.


"I want purple and blue for the big ones. Then the little ones take the six," said Dani.


"For Kindergartens, not all of you, sir?"


"I've ordered a full bag and stationery for them. Once you get there, you can take it" Dani replied.


So all this for the little girl?


When he arrived at the cashier, according to Dani's request if all eight pony dolls were included in one large box with ribbons. Then Leo took her to the trunk of the car.


And they glided to Bandung, that very afternoon.


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


"Ma. Mama has a sister?" asked Merra suddenly.


"Hmm?" Ara turned her head, hearing her adorable little girl question helped to shear the names of the flowers she would paste on every flower the customer ordered tomorrow." Mama ... No sister or sister, darling. Why are you asking like that?"


"It looks good, Ma, if you have a sister. There is a school shuttle, some accompany play at home, even if there is PR can be helped to do." Merra answered the mother's question while continuing to cut with imagination running.


"Who said? Every day Mama can also take Merra to school. Accompany Merra main, help Merra work on PR. All you can do."


"That's because Merra doesn't have a sister. If Merra has, surely mama is not as busy as this doing everything herself, surely mama there is helping, fun ya ma." The girl approached, acting spoiled towards the mother by kissing her shoulder.


"Mama's not busy, honey. It's Mama's duty to take responsibility for Mama's little girl." Ara pinched the small nose of Merra's pointed nose.


"But grandma said, Merra couldn't have a sister. Merra usually has a sister, because if you have to be there before Merra. While the first mama's child is Merra, so it is impossible suddenly there is another child who is bigger than him. Merra was confused by Grandma's explanation." The little girl scratched her hair in confusion.


Merra has a sister, honey. But mama doesn't know if your sister wants to acknowledge you as her sister, and she just hates her.


"Merra would love to have a sister, Ma. Come on Ma, don't be stingy. Give Merra a sister yes, Ma," Merra wailed to her mother, then attached her body to Ara's back. The little girl hugged her mother from behind tightly while occasionally kissing Ara's hair.


"Forward to cut it. It wasn't the mama who determined Merra could have a sister or not, but God. Merra must be diligent in praying to God, so that God would kindly give a brother to Merra," said Ara sage. Making God the final excuse was the most surefire way he could do to appease his little girl.


"Merra wants a sister like Brother Dan, Ma. He is kind and handsome, smart and especially yes...."


"Sister Dan?"


"Yes. The older brother from Jakarta who came to Merra school, Ma. Who also gave a hoodie gift to Merra yesterday," explained Merra who made Ara remember if the day after the activity, her little girl did not stop telling her about Kak Dan.


"Where can choose what kind of sister wants. It's up to God dear, merra pray that is fine may God grant Merra to have a sister figure like Kak and."


"Nor ... Want, Ma ... Merra wants?" merra's eyes sparkled and it was a happiness unto Ara. Although it cannot be .


while God? That's up to him.


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


"Sorry I don't know, sir. But if you want, I can call Leo to ask," replied the Eagle sliding his body back giving way to the master who was already standing in front of his chair.


"Did you communicate with Leo often?"


"Not really, Sir. If you need to. But I'm sure Leo is not the one who meddles in other people's affairs. If the needs of the Young Master in the city were not important, Leo would have said so. But if it's personal usually from the beginning he has refused to tell, sir."


"Try it, but just send a message. Do not put Leo in a difficult position by contacting him directly" Adrian said.


I don't know why today he felt if Dani started to sniff at him again. As he remembered, he did nothing to offend his son. This morning was still ordinary when they were at the dining table together.


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


Saturday morning, though,


Dani had been at Tunas Bangsa school since the students had not arrived the day before, he had contacted the school that he would surprise the Kindergarten children there.


As usual when all the students had entered the classroom, Dani surprised them, by suddenly entering there.


The boisterous sounds of the children were heard all the way to the teacher's room. And that particular day the teacher who was able to give them time to teach Dani.


"She's like the Big Mistress. Even though he was like the father," muttered the headmaster's mother who peeked at the class while smiling at the behavior of the children who almost all wanted to hug the young man.


That day after the session split the gifts he brought, and shared stories about the activities of the week by telling them one by one, their meeting ended.


The students who used to come home at eleven in the afternoon, today was an hour and a half early.


One by one, they were picked up by their parents. Dani, watching the little girl who looked like herself, was still busy coloring in the classroom. Even he was not affected by the sepinya room he occupied, because some of his friends had been picked up.


"Hey, Merra. You're not coming home?" call Dani to the little girl who looks at him with a smile.


"Sister Dan is still here, too" he replied without looking at Dani though. He made the young man set foot to get closer to him.


Dani contacted Leo to get the box out of the trunk of her car and take her to class.


"What are you doing?"


"Color, the book that you gave me," replied Merra innocently.


"Your mama hasn't come yet?" The little girl nodded. "You want to drive home?"


"No need, brother. Usually, mama invites all of you to buy flower seeds, later mama will not buy if Kak Dan interra come home."


Reason that makes sense. But not for adults, because actually there is no problem even if Merra is delivered.


"Alright, brother, there's something for you."


"Sister has given a lot," Merra held up a bag containing stationery and some story books and coloring.


"Not that. There's more for Merra." Dani codes Leo to bring the box closer.


"It's so big." Merra's round eyes blinked. "What's that, brother?"


"Open it" said Dani, who helped lift him to the table in front of Merra. The little girl had to go up to the bench to reach the top.


"Wahhh pony." Merra's eyes sparkled. And what makes it even happier is that there is not just one, but 6 complete colors.


"Merra likes?"


"It's so like, brother! How do you know Merra likes ponies?"


Dani looked at Leo, as if to thank him through the look in his eyes. And the man nodded with a smile.


"Of course you know, take it home. Say hello to your sister" said Dani later.


"So wait, where are you going? Wait for Mama Merra to come first, let Merra introduce the beautiful Mama Merra," please Merra with a beautiful face.


"No need with the teacher. Maybe after coming from the room teacher Brother went straight home,"


"Yahhh .. when Merra wants to introduce Sister to Mama." The little girl looked sad.


"When you come here again, yeah." The girl was still silent and lowered her head. "Sister of promise, Merra." Dani gently rubbed Merra's long mane.


"Really?" His smile suddenly expanded. "Emmm ... Can Merra hug Brother?" pinta Merra is self-suffering.


"Of course." Dani spread out her hands welcoming the little girl's body.


Merra pushed and hugged Dani who accidentally folded her knees, until she was as tall as Merra.


"Thank you, Brother Dan. The horse is beautiful. May the Lord grant Merra prayers to have a sister like Brother Dan," said Merra lirih.


"Hmm?" Dani clearly heard the little girl's words right next to her ear though like a whisper. The young man's lips curled upwards, still unable to believe that anyone idolized him to such an extent.


"Are you serious?" Dani took off her embrace and held the little girl's shoulder slightly away, so she could see Merra's face.


And what he got was beyond belief. Merra nodded many times with a sincere innocent smile.


"Amen...." The young man gently rubbed the top of Merra's head affectionately. "Continue coloring her, Brother stay ya."


Dani said goodbye to the little girl who looked like her. After greeting the tos by hand, he came out and let Merra back coloring while waiting for her mother.


Right in front of the classroom door, Dani stopped. He turned his body again and looked at Merra who had been engrossed back with her colored pencil.


There is a sense of longing that infiltrates, if not met after knowing him. Especially in the busy days Dani who is just monotonous activities.


Today, after seeing him, seeing his innocence, it felt like he was reborn, excited again.


Does he miss the presence of a little sister in his life? But where might it happen, even the father was like numb after the death of the woman he hated it.

"Have I prepared the file I asked for, ma'am?"


Dani is sitting in the teacher's room now. He faced the principal and some of the teachers there.


"Actually, we can't tell anyone else. Sir," said the principal's mother. It carries a heavy burden of responsibility from the foundation.


"Other people? Is my Oma no longer the biggest supporter in the Foundation where this school is located?" Dani emphasized some of the words he said, to reinforce the position of the oma who had not been displaced even though he was not there.


"I'm sorry, Dani, that's not what I meant. Please understand my position, sir. Only the foundation and for the purposes of the court can we give it." The principal's mother was already trembling to hear it. He is only a devotee here, if he has contact with the Ilyasa family, he raises his hand.


"Save in any form? I was just asking for that class," Dani's remark that coming back again was not at all friendly made the headmaster even more condescending.


"In the form of files and physical stored in the data room, sir."


"OKs. I just copied it. I'll be responsible if there's anything. Everyone here hears it, right? You can be witnesses if I abuse it." Dani glanced at all the teachers in the room. Then immediately ordered Leo to do his duty.
