Abhimanyu : Pelakor Rentals
70. Missed Him

4 Years later.

"We give a big round of applause for our beloved Bu Owner!"

A sound of applause filled the hall of the hotel building. Rara stood up from her chair, walking up towards the stage that had been decorated in such a way.

Today is Rara Group's fourth anniversary. The small company that for four years Rara built was assisted by her in-laws and sister-in-law.

When Rara stepped on stage, for the umpteenth time she could not believe that she could stand here. MC handed over the mic and Rara stood staring at the exclusive guests, of course her parents, her family where the main character was her mother-in-law. They are Rara's best support system to survive so far.

"If you call her Bu Owner, I think the most pantes my Mama-in-law, Mama Juwita. Applause to him."

Juwita laughed a little.

"And our biggest thanks to parents, Papa, Mama, thank you so much for the prayers."

Mom smiled.

"And, we can't afford our most meritorious and most hard-working CEO for Rara Group, dear sister-in-law, Cetta."

Rara laughed when she saw Cetta was just throwing her face away while her wife clapped her most fervent hands.

"Also the most diligent to make me coffee, Mama Juwita's cup."

Banyu glared as all the guests laughed. His eyes seemed to protest because his services mentioned were only about coffee. But it's true that he's Rara's coffee maker. Especially when everyone is overtime at home, Banyu is always the originator of the order menu.

"And most of all," Rara smiled at the camera, "make the husband who is no longer present."

A number of people's expressions, especially Juwita and Mama were immediately sad to hear Rara's words. Four years they celebrated this birthday, and the four years were without any disheartening Rara always mentioned Abhimanyu at the opening of her sentence.

Many people know that Rara is not with her husband. Some people even say that Rara is actually divorced from Abhimanyu. But Rara ceded his ears. Never once, did he consider his relationship and Abhimanyu to be severed.

Rara was not being stupid. Not being deceiving himself that he has been banished but still not knowing himself to be conscious. Rara is silent because she knows Abhimanyu did not throw it away.

Abhimanyu who threw himself away because he was not confident could make Rara happy. So Rara gave him time. Go and come back when he's confident enough.

Or at least until Rara stops being patient. Rara is very patient now.

Hugely.

"Ah, so tired." Rara drops her body onto a special soft sofa that Juwita buys for anyone who is again super tired. The soft sensation of the chair can make you feel like sitting on top of the beginning, and instantly sleepy.

"I'm the one who's watching doang is tired too, brother." Nayla, Cetta's wife, came to give him a glass of cold juice from the kitchen. "But success well. Repost for the event was a lot. I saw the order stop at nothing."

Rara smiled broadly. "Alhamdulillah that way, Deck."

"Guys, men are all on the ledge!" exclaim Juwita who came with a snack.

"It's natural, Mom." Rara immediately plucked a snack on the plate. "The real thing is that they all work."

In any of their businesses, including Rara's business and even Nayla's newly built business, the owner is always their name. Rara's Bu Owner, Juwita's Bu Owner, Nayla's Bu Owner, but who's the real owner?

Yeah who else if not Adji, Banyu, Cetta. That's why they're really tired.

"Ohiya, Ma'am," Rara dropped her head on Juwita's lap, "the kids yesterday were talking about eating together. He said the barbeque in front of the house was also not pa-pa. An exclusive birthday celebration, he said."

"Jude, take a vacation." Juwita rubbed Rara's head. "Where's the record? Nayla, any advice? You're the one who likes the holidays the most."

Envy is not because they cannot afford it, but because they think once a year vacation they are dizzy. Different from Nayla who has not been too much work or arguably almost no work, Juwita and Rara are too much work to think about the holidays.

"What about you, Mom? I said there was a new vacation spot there. Can be rented exclusively. We're taking a full team there, it's exciting."

"How much is it?" ask Rara.

"Hmmm, a range of two hundred million. You know, last time I hired him for a birthday, it was only half a day in the fifties."

"Does that include food?"

"Udah. It's all full."

Rara counted her team of one hundred and fifty people. Counting it is not too expensive. Then immediately Rara nodded.

"Jude, get there. You're the cool one, Dek. I take it clean."

"Ready!"

"But if you think about it for a long time we did not vacation together, yeah?" Juwita dropped her head on the backrest. "Ohya, call Olivia no, honey?"

Rara shakes. "Then he said he wanted to go to Hawaii."

"Same Abi?"

"No idea anyway. Haven't said. But maybe together, right? You see I heard yesterday the project was a success so he's relaxed again."

Although maybe Rara hopes Abhimanyu does not come. Because if the news of Abhimanyu vacation with Olivia, again, then rumors about their household will certainly be crowded. Olivia confesses to Rara that she and Abhimanyu have not been in a relationship since the beginning of Rara's marriage, and they are now just work friends, but Rara is honestly also anxious.

She fears that Abhimanyu is too comfortable with Olivia.

"Honey," called out a voice that made everyone turn their head, especially Nayla. Cetta there hints the woman is coming and Nayla already understands what.

Call for that is for sure.

As soon as Cetta and Nayla disappeared upstairs, Rara groaned in Juwita's stomach.

"Young, Ibuuu. I'd like to call you to the room."

Juwita pinched Rara's ear. "Your mouth is."

"Yes abis." Rara pouted. Then quietly contemplate how Cetta always, until everyone including Rara's team memorized, if she had run out of work crazy surely afterwards she would call Nayla to the room after work.

Of course his voice was not heard but yes Rara knows because he is also married.

"Mom."

"Hm?"

"Abi Kangen isn't the same as me?" Rara further submerged her face into Juwita's stomach, for the umpteenth time crying because of this tightness. "Inget isn't he the same as his wife?"

Because frankly, Rara really misses him.

Every day.
