The number was 2002. Agler matched the address on the paper in his hand with the apartment's unit number. After that, he pressed the bell.Ting! Nong!It didn't take long for Sean to open the apartment door. The girl was seen wearing hotpants and a casual t-shirt, her face without any make-up but instead made her natural beauty shine perfectly. "Oh, I didn't expect you to actually come this soon," Sean said.“For me, waiting for hours to go home actually feels very long. So, may I come in?""Yes, but I'm sorry, I'm tidying up. Sit first."Agler entered the apartment. He looked around, saw a vacuum cleaner still lying in the room. "Want me to help?" Agler said offering to help.“Thank you, but I can still do it myself. Oh yes, cover your mouth with this mask.” Sean handed Agler a mask, then the girl continued her work."Why not just use a cleaning service?" Agler asked again.“Hmm, I'm uncomfortable when someone enters my residence. Because for me, where I live is my private realm—““B
Dzzzz... Dzzzzz...The ringing of his cell phone soothed the bitterness in Dirga's heart at that time: Mr. Aryo. Dirga read the name of the contact before finally pressing the connecting button."Yes, hello Mr. Aryo?" said Dirga."Good evening Mr. Dirga, I want to inform you that Mr. Dewa means the hospital.""What? Papa is in the hospital?" Dirga looked wide-eyed when he heard the bad news. "O-okay, okay, I'll be there right away."The call ended, Dirga turned his face back to Adellia. "Adel, I'm sorry, I have to go to the hospital now. My dad is in the hospital again.""I'll come with you to the hospital. I also want to see Mr. Dewa.""Come on! Lets go!."They were immediately at the hospital. When they got there, they immediately ran into Rossa who had just left her husband's ward. "Your papa is just sleeping, just let him rest, don't disturb him first," said Rossa to Dirga."In that case, let me take care of Papa at the hospital tonight, Ma," replied Dirga."Well that's that then.
CEO of ELZIOIn the morning at the dinner table at the residence of the owner of the Elzio Group, they all gathered: Dewa, Rossa, Dirga and Agler. But the gathering at the breakfast table that morning was not only to enjoy breakfast together, but also to listen to an important matter that was to be conveyed by Dewa, the head of the family."Given that Papa's health is not as good as it used to be, it seems the time has come for Papa to retire. So Papa has decided to give the position of CEO of Elzio Group to..."Everyone at the dinner table waited for Dewa's words to continue with pounding hearts.Dewa turned his face to one of his two sons. "Agler, be Papa's successor. Leader of the Elzio Group as best as possible like what Papa has always done," he said.Agler's eyes widened hearing his father's words, and so did Rossa's. They really did not expect that God would come to such a decision. Moreover, the other day Agler made a fatal mistake too."O-fine, sir. Thank you for trusting me
"Let's welcome the new CEO of Elzio Group, Mr. Agler Elzio Pranaja!"Agler stepped forward to the podium. He was confronted with his father. Then Dewa Pranaja pinned the CEO pin on his son's jacket as a sign of symbolically handing over power. The scene was greeted with boisterous applause by everyone who witnessed it. Behind that thin smile, God was hiding great sadness. He lost his beloved son, Dirgantara Elzio Pranaja. He should have pinned the CEO pin on Dirga, not on Agler. But Dewa was forced to do this to maintain his good image and the company he had built so far.It turns out that God's goal was also not entirely successful. Dewa's somewhat sudden decision became a big question mark for the people who joined his company. They were of course surprised, why Dewa gave the throne to his youngest son who had only been part of the Elzio Group for a few days, while the one they knew was Dewa's eldest son and believed that Dirga would be the heir to Dewa all this time. Until rumors a
"Have you found Dirga's whereabouts?" asked Dewa when Aryo came to face him."Not yet, sir. But I will keep trying to find Pak Dirga and bring him back here.”"Yes, do your best. I could never forgive myself if something bad happened to him. Oh yes, please contact Adellia, ask her to meet me now.”"Okay sir." Aryo bowed his head then excused himself from his boss.After Aryo left, Dewa could only contemplate in the regret that kept eating away at him. Every decision he makes is always wrong, always wrong. That's what makes Dewa think of himself as the most stupid man in this world. It's sad, when other people glorify him for his power, he can't manage his own family well.Rossa came to bring medicine for her husband. "Time to take medicine," Rossa said, handing the pills and a glass of water into her husband's hand. After that Rossa massaged her husband's shoulder.Dewa glared at Rossa, after twenty years, Rossa had always been cold to him, even during that time the two of them had se
In the morning, Sean got out of bed doing some light stretching for his muscles. While curling his long loose hair, Sean came out of his room. He saw Agler who was still asleep on the sofa. "Ah, this man is really staying here, like he doesn't have a place to live," snorted Sean.Without waking Agler who was still asleep. Sean also cleared the drink bottles on the table. He continued to tidy up the house and then cooked breakfast. Agler woke up to the smell of fried onions. With his head still heavy, Agler tried to get up from the couch and met Sean who was cooking in the kitchen."What are you cooking so early in the morning?" Agler said."Morning? Is ten o'clock still considered morning to you?"“My afternoon starts at eleven o'clock. You cooked fried rice, it looks delicious," said Agler, waving his hand to pinch fried rice on the plate, but Sean brushed it off immediately.“Eh! Wash your face before eating! How come, he said, from a respectable and wealthy family, how come he look
Sean added three new fish to his tank, fish that Agler had bought for him. "Hey, these are your new friends. Their names are Jarwo, Slamet, and Cecep. Live in peace, okay?" Sean whispered to the fish.He seemed to smile, a smile that seemed like he couldn't stop it from a few days ago, to be precise since Agler declared his love for him and asked him to marry him. Sean can't wait for that beautiful moment, wearing a wedding dress, preparing breakfast and dinner for his husband, even Sean can't wait to see the faces of his children later with Agler. Ahh, what a far-fetched delusion, but that was what he had in mind at the moment.Ting! Nong!Sean ran to open the door when he heard the doorbell ring. Sure enough, it was the person she expected to come; Agler."Where have you been? How come you haven't contacted me for three days?" protested Sean immediately.Agler answered Sean's question with a hug. "I Miss you," he whispered."Hey, who allowed you to hug me like this?""Do I also have
"I'm Rossa, Agler's Mama."Sean flinched as the middle-aged woman introduced herself. Sean suddenly felt nervous, how could it not be his first meeting with the parents of his girlfriend which happened suddenly too. "Please come in, Mom, uh.. Auntie."With a cold and flat gaze, Rossa stepped into the apartment. He darted his eyes around every corner of the room, as if examining Sean's personality."Please sit down, Auntie. I'll make a drink for Aunt," Sean said kindly. Sean had never been that kind to anyone before. The change in her attitude at that time was enough to show how much she respected Rossa as Agler's mother.“No need to bother to make drinks. I won't be here long either,” said Rossa while sitting on one of the sofas in the room. Sean sat in front of her while continuing to guess what the middle-aged woman would tell him.“Agler told me that he was in love with a woman he said was beautiful. That's why he also asked me to come here so I could prove to myself how beautiful
