After Wedding (Panji And Echa)
CHAPTER 38

The journey to the residence of Pakde Harsa is actually very far from the middle of the city. Rich people usually look for a home that has tranquility in the neighborhood. When Panji just graduated from college, he worked at a company owned by Aunt Clarissa. The company is led by Adrian. One knows to stay there until he is interested in taking MSME training classes. He is also an agribusiness graduate.

"We have arrived" Panji exclaimed after turning off the car engine.

A large house looked foreign in his eyes. Echa turned her eyes towards her husband. Questioning the owner of the luxury place.

"That's bude Leni's house and Pakde Harsa's. The house I grew up in after Darmi died." The banner went down to open the back door. There were his parents-in-law who were with them.

"Gede,Candy. You live three there." asked Ms. Laksmi.

"I only stayed with Bude Leni after Pakde died. Pakde died while performing Hajj. Bude followed five years later. And that's me finished college. Cooperation om Adrian, keep them give capital I open business. And the result now. Thank God it could be like this, ma'am."

"Adrian's the one who went with Leni and Harsa picked you up first, right? I forgot to remember. I am old."

"Yes, Mom. Mom is still beautiful. Even prettier than Echa." praise Panji directly got a sharp attack from his wife.

Panji immediately asked the nurse who participated in Paklik Malik's car troupe. A young woman came down and led Echa who was already in a wheelchair. Panji immediately sat squatting parallel to his wife. His tightly grasped hands gave Echa strength.

"Honey, while we stay here. In the apartment is high. You can't go back up the stairs. It's far from the city where it's cool. It's okay if we're here." Panji's speech was immediately greeted by a nod from Echa.

"Well, so this is Harsa's house. Why didn't Cahyadi come, yeah. Let him see his sister's house. Big and fancy. I haven't known what he's been up to. Does Harsa have children?" cerocos Paklik Malik's.

"Pakde doesn't have a child I know. All this time they lived alone plus three of them were the same as me. Pakde's business is now closed since the case of his sister-in-law. The company held by Adrian was in cooperation with the Harsa pact. Belonging to the bude Leni family."

"Why is it closed? it's a pity they don't have a successor. Why don't you continue?" ask Paklik Malik.

"His children Adrian no one is interested, Paklik. Both have their own lives. The youngest one works as my secretary."

"Why aren't you the only one continuing?"

"Ouch, Paklik. I am not their child. I don't want to be considered maruk with their extended family."

"But you are a child ..."

"Malik!" call Mrs Laksmi.

"Yes, Mommy."

"Don't tell me about it first." whispered Ms. Laksmi.

" The banner should know that Adrian...."

"That's not our domain, Malik. Let him know by himself." whispered Ms. Laksmi.

Paklik Malik nodded in agreement. Then follow the banner into the house. While Echa had already entered with her sister. Panji's story about the company that Harsa held made his mind unsettled. The neatly stored secret should have been revealed. But there is a point said Laksmi, the story is not their realm. Darmi's mom and Laksmi's extended family know about it.

The wheelchair that Echa was sitting in stood in front of the door of her husband's picture room. There is a sense of amused to see the poster-shaped alay pose. He did not forget that Panji rada alay and narcissistic. Like to praise himself, that's all he knew during his work there.

"If you want to say I'm handsome it's okay. I'm sincere, let alone a compliment from my own wife. His head is big."

"No, it's normal."

"Well, you know when I replaced Randi as a lecturer. A lot of people queue just for nyapa doang. Many even asked me to extend my teaching there."

Echa heard Panji's story suddenly fell silent. He did not forget when Panji told him to go back and forth to campus. Just to deliver the work files. Where there is a banner there must be Savira.

"Mas, I want to take a break" said Echa in a flat tone.

"Why not go back to the apartment?"

"Because our apartment's upstairs. It will be difficult for you to go back and forth later. If there is a lower room. Above let the mother next room for Paklik Malik and his family."

"There's an elevator. Or maybe in this house a lot of memories on someone or ..." Echa was silent as Panji's index finger closed her lips.

"Can you reduce your ugly mind once. Why is it that every time we speak there are always negative thoughts, unfounded accusations." the voice of Panji is like suppressing anger. His athletic body left the room without a word.

Echa just lowered her head without daring to hold her head up. Is he wrong again? It was precisely Panji's attitude that made him think that way.

"Siang, Miss Theresia. I haven't introduced myself, yeah. My name is Atik. I was assigned Mr. Panji to take care of my mother during her recovery so that she could walk as before."

Echa nodded her head towards the petite woman in front of her.

"Thank you, Ma'am." answered Echa.

"No need to call, Ma'am. Call me Atik only because I am young from you." continued Atik.

"If you can tell how old Atik is?"

"I'm 22 years old, Mom. I am in the hospital also still in the process of apprenticeship to pursue the thesis of the nursing school." explained Atik.

The two women of different generations throw smiles at each other. Echa felt she had a friend to change her mind, although her mother also helped. But for just a friend to talk to his mother will be a lot of opposition. The thought of Mrs Laksmi is still stale. Moreover, the mother is more on her husband's side than listening to him.

"Where is my husband?" ask Echa.

"I don't know, Mom. I was just instructed by Laksmi's mother to meet Echa. As the first introduction. Is there anything I can help you with? or I'd like to take a look around here let me hang out."

"Yes, I want to go around here. Can you please accompany me?"

"could. That's my job." Tinker instantly unlock the wheelchair. Echa thanked her sister again. They surround every corner of the room. Many rooms, one of which will be occupied by Atik near the kitchen.

Echa is in front of the back porch. Many beautiful flowers are still nice and well-groomed. A man stood up to greet him.

"Include me Ibn the gardener at the residence of Mr. Harsa. I have been working here for 15 years. If Miss Echa needs help I'll be ready."

"Thank you, sir." greeted Echa kindly.

"Does you see Mas Panji?" the umpteenth time Echa asked where her husband was.

"She, Mom. I saw him there." Point Ibnu towards the corner of the park.

"Don't call me Mom. I am younger than there is. Just match with the call Mas Panji."

"I'm calling non, yeah. What I call den Panji."

"No need, sir. Just let's go there." Echa leaves the back terrace.

Panji was cleaning the grass around the cage. There are no animals in it.

"Yes..." Echa in shock the tiny figure of her pointy-eared fur was very dense.

"Come on, this is your mom. Honey, her name is Katy" Panji said.
