ANTIQUE NURSE
Season 2: Balloon Candidates

Along with Kenzie, Kenan enters the lobby of the Metro East office. This was not the first time he had set foot in his father's office, but the young man was quite nervous as well, as it was his first day of apprenticeship. Kenzie had Kenan take the identification for the intern to the HRD section on the 8th floor and then go straight to his room on the 11th floor.

After obtaining his identification, Kenan rushed towards the 11th floor. Kenan will occupy the room Fathan used to use, but before that he must face Kenzie first. Yudi, the secretary let Kenan into the room. The young man faced the table of the elder brother.

“For a week, you work in my room only, let me guide. Inget, here at the office, if you're facing the CEO, call me father. Today I give you a dispensation, can call brother. But tomorrow you have to call dad during office hours.”

“Iya bang, thanks.”

“While working there aja,” Kenzie refer oval-shaped table, right usually discuss work with Fathan and Fadli.

“Ok.”

“This file, learn first. Here's the guide.”

“Siap.”

Kenan retrieves the file that Kenzie gave him and takes it to the table. He had to start learning from the basics because the college major he took was different from the current field of work. Fortunately Kenan had followed the organization, so not too surprised by the administrative affairs

While being serious about his files, Fadli went into the room with some files in his hand. He then approached Kenan and sat down beside the young man.

“Nan.. This is a file to learn. It contains your job desk as long as it replaces om later. Learn the om give sign, remember you have to be careful. I gave you the clear guide as possible. Try not to make a lot of mistakes, you know what your father is like. And here, try making this report a start. When you are done, leave it to me. Follow the guidelines, ask Ken if anything is not understood.”

“Iya, om.”

Fadli patted Kenan on the shoulder before leaving. He waved at Kezie who was reciprocated by a nod of his head. After Fadli's death, Kenan immediately did what his father's secretary ordered using a laptop in Fathan's office.

By lunchtime, Kenan had finished his work. He immediately brought his work to the twelfth floor. Beyond a doubt, Fadli said Abi himself would examine the work of the young man. With his chest pounding slightly, Kenan walked into his papa's study.

“Siang, sir,” greet Kenan.

Abi raised his head then moved his finger, asking his youngest son who was the apprentice to approach him. Kenan handed the file in his hand. His feelings were fierce as well when Abi read carefully the results of his work.

“Have you read the guide given by Mr Fadli?”

“Already sir.”

“Then why do you still make mistakes? Why are there some important points that you missed entering?”

“Sorry sir, I was a little confused.”

“Is Kenzie in his room?”

“There's a pack.”

“Are you having thrush?”

“No sir.”

“Then use your mouth to ask her what you don't understand!”

Kenan is shocked when Abi slams his files onto the table. The young man gulped his saliva looking at the cold and stern attitude of the man he called papa. Inwardly praising the brother's strong mental resilience facing the CEO of Metro East whose aura is so frightening if it is behind his desk.

“Refrieve! Don't go home if you can't do it right!”

“Iya, sir. Then I'm sorry.”

Kenan rushed out of the room which was suddenly filled with an aura of darkness. Seeing Kenan's face, Fadli already knew that the young man must have been hit by a reprimand. He came out of his desk and approached Kenan.

“There is wrong?”

“Iya, um. There are some important points that I did not enter.”

“Quick fix. Don't hesitate to ask Ken or to om. Remember Nan, what your papa did, this is all for your good.”

“Iya, um. Thanks though. I go first.”

Fadli nodded his head, letting Kenan return to his room to correct the mistake. Kenzie used to be like that, back and forth exposed to his father's spray just because of a small mistake. Doing perfect work, without error, is absolutely the law for a Satria Abhimanyu Wisdom and its rules apply to everyone, without exception.

In a doldrums, Kenan returned to the brother's room. He immediately went to Kenzie's desk and handed over the file that Abi had corrected. Kenzie stops his job and retrieves the file Kenan gave him.

“Still something wrong, bang.”

“Take the guide that was given by Fadli.”

Kenan walked to his desk and then back to Kenzie's desk. He sat down in front of Kenzie and listened to everything that his sister had told him. Kenzie's explanation with an easily digestible speech makes Kenan quickly understand and know where the error lies.

“Ngerti now?”

“Iya, bang.”

“Do another report. Before being given to papa, love brother first, let it be checked again.”

“Iya, bang.”

Without waiting for long, Kenan immediately fixed the report he had made. Kenzie is a great mentor. Kenan was able to quickly apply what the man had said. He was grateful that his brother would guide him.

“Nan. You may feel this is too soon, but as a child of Abhimanyu Wisdom you have more responsibilities to bear. Later brother will need your help to manage this company. Many people depend on our lives and we should not ignore it.”

“Iya, bang.”

“You should have started taking your life seriously. You have to be smarter, more observant, more sensitive and stronger. There are many things that you must protect later, one of which is Zahra. If you are weak, how can you protect those around you? Start more seriously from now.”

“Iya, bang. Thanks for the advice.”

Kenan was still stunned to digest her brother's long speech just now. The older brother who had to become an adult before his time, having to shoulder the responsibility at the time of Abi's disappearance, had made the man a powerful figure. For a moment he became doubtful, whether he could become great like Kenzie or just be his shadow.

“Nan. You can be strong in your own way. You don't have to be like your brother, just be yourself. Your position is not as a shadow brother, but standing on the side of brother, together we bear the responsibility that papa gave us. Brother in his own way brother and you in your own way.”

Kenzie's smile expanded after the words of wisdom. The worry that Kenan felt was raised as soon as he heard his brother's words. Eagerly the young man nodded his head.

☘️☘️☘️

As promised, at half-seven Kenan picked up Zahra, his mother and Silva to be brought to his house, attending a dinner held by his family. Luckily he was able to finish all the work in time, thanks to Kenzie's help for sure.

Kenan's smile expands to see Zahra wearing the dress that was delivered by her this afternoon. Similarly, Nita and Silva, both of them also wear clothes sent from the young man. After locking the door, the four walked towards Kenan's car parked on the side of the road near the alley of Zahra's house.

Nita and Silva sat in the back seat, while Zahra sat in front, side by side with Kenan. Before long the four-wheeled vehicle was sliding away. During the trip, Nita was silent. He was still quite surprised to get a dinner invitation from the Kenan family. In his heart a little worried that if the young man's family knew they were not from the family, they would not approve of his daughter's relationship with Kenan.

“Where's your first internship day?” zahra's question made Nita come to her senses from her daydream. The woman began to listen to the conversation of the two people sitting in front.

“Yes that, deh. Papa is so fierce, almost dead standing me,” kekeh Kenan.

“You must be upbeat, Nan. Papa like that must be for your good too. I'm sure you can.”

“Aamiin. bang Ken also did me a lot.”

“It turns out bang Ken is good too huh. I was scared when I first met him.”

“Hahahaha. he is so, his nickname is a polar dragon aka dry kanebo because his face is stiff rich machine that has never been given oil.”

“But mean same sister herself. Uh, is there a polar dragon?”

“It is.. noh the proof is bang Ken. He's cold attitude, if he meets the same he feels again at the north pole, but once he says, pedes, make a rich hot ears bursts of dragons, so it's called the polar dragon.”

“Yes geez. But if his wife isn't like that, is she? I once heard him talking to sister Nara on the phone.”

“Beuh don't ask if the same brother Nara mah. North and south poles instantly melt hahahaha.”

Nita and Silva who had been listening to the conversation couldn't help but smile. Hearing Kenan's story, it seemed like the man in the family treated the woman well. Hopefully Zahra will get it too, so that the feeling of trauma left by her husband will disappear by itself.

Nina who heard the sound of her son's car entering the house immediately came out to greet her guests. Freya who has also come along with her mother welcomes her sister-in-law and her family.

“Welcome, Zahra,” welcome Nina in a friendly manner. Then his gaze was fixed on the woman whose age was not much different from him.

“Include, I, Nina, Kenan's mother,” Nina extended her hand towards Nita who was immediately greeted by the woman.

“Nita,” reply.

“Wah our name turned out to be only one letter only yes,” as well as Nina who was touched by Nita.

“Include, this is Freya, Kenan's sister.”

Freya grabs Nita's hand and kisses Nita's back. He then smiled towards Silva who was looking at him unblinkingly.

“Why? Something wrong with my face?” ask Freya.

“Sister Freya is so beautiful,” praise Silva spontaneously.

“Thank you. You're beautiful too, Zahra. Come beautiful women, we go inside.”

Freya embraces Zahra's shoulder and Silva then takes her inside, followed by Nina and Nita. Kenan deliberately the most recent to come in. Nita's eyes looked in amazement at the interior of the Kenan family residence filled with luxury items. Even the house of the boss where he works is also not this luxurious.

Seeing that his guest had arrived, Abi who was with Kenzie and Ravin immediately ended the business conversation between them. The three immediately welcomed the arrival of Zahra and her family. Again, Nita is surprised by Abi, Kenzie and Ravin's friendly attitude. Nara soon shows up and gets acquainted with her.

“How about we eat first, just chat,” bargain Nina.

“Iya can, mas is also hungry.”

Abi hugged Nina's waist then walked to the dining table followed by the others. Nita looked at the envy of seeing Abi's affection for his wife. In the past, Sandi was only sweet in the first five years of their marriage. Since her ex-husband rose to office, she began to be arrogant and belittling herself who used to not work and just be a housewife. Not until there, Sandi also had the heart to betray their marriage by cheating with Risma.

In contrast to Zahra, seeing Abi's affection for Nina, as well as Kenzie for Nara and Ravin for Freya made him wonder if later Kenan would also be friendly to her.

After everyone was at the dinner table, the dinner began.

Silva was only speechless when Nina repeatedly offered him various side dishes. Seeing the warm attitude of the entire Kenan family to her, inevitably make the girl compare the treatment she received while visiting her own biological father's house.

Good food, warm talk at the dinner table, he never felt when he was there. Risma always forbade Silva if he wanted to eat together at the dinner table. Even the food he ate was different from what his father and mother and two half brothers ate. The girl was fed like a housekeeper in the house. And what hurt him the most, when Sandi did nothing when Risma was unfair to him. But Silva hid it from his mother, only Zahra told him.

Constantly imagining the unpleasant treatment often received from his papa's new family, unconsciously makes Silva's eyes heat up. As dinner ended, his eyes grew foggy.

“Kata Kenan your test scores are good, congratulations Silva. Never stop learning, so you can be smarter. Later if it is for reporting and your value is good, om will love a gift for you.”

Abi's words immediately knocked down Silva's self-defense. The tears that had been desperately held back finally shed as well. He was moved to hear Abi's words, things he had never heard from Sandi. The girl cried as she pleased, and of course surprised everyone.

“Eh.. You why Silva?” nina asked confusedly.

“What's wrong talking?” continued Abi.

“Silva.. You why nak?” Nita touched her son's hand.

Only Zahra knew what her sister was feeling right now. The same feeling he had felt when he first met the Kenan family. Secretly, he shrank the corner of his eyes that were coming to water.

“Sil.. You why?” ask Nita again.

“Ke.. why papa is not like om A..bi. A.what pa.pa not sa..yang a.aku, ma?” silva asked in the middle of his tears. Nita's heart melos hear it. Zahra, excuse me, left the dining table and rushed to the bathroom. There, Zahra also cried, along with Silva's grief.

Everyone at the dining table was silent at Silva's words. Nita was unable to say anything, only her hand continued to rub her son's back still sobbing.

“Im sorry my son. Maybe Silva is kangen with his papa,” Nita so unpleasant has ruined the atmosphere.

“It's okay. It is natural that a child misses his parents. Silva, would you like to come with me?”

Abi stood up and took Silva away from the table. He took Silva to the back garden. So did Nina who invited Nita to move to the middle room. Kenan is following Zahra who has not yet come out of the bathroom.

“How old are you now?” ask Abi to Silva.

“13 years, om.”

“Hmm.. means this tree house is older than you.”

“Masa, om?”

“Iya.. want to go up there? There brother Kenzie, brother Freya and bang Kenan love to play. Come.”

Abi took Silva by the hand and then took him up the staircase on the side of the tree house. Silva's eyes looked at the house made of wood. Inside was a small table and a mattress to lie on.

“The tree house is good, om. But if you sleep here bitten by a mosquito, no?”

“If you want to sleep here, you must bring a flashlight.”

“Create what om?”

“Create mosquito nimpuk, hahaha.”

“Hahaha.

Silva laughed at Abi's crisp joke. The warm attitude of the man made the sadness he had felt disappear. Abi kept Silva talking, telling him what he used to do at home in this tree house. After feeling the sadness of this young girl had passed, Abi invited her down and joined the others in the living room.

Warm talk happened again, accompanied by laughter. After Kenan was used as bully-an material for his two brothers, plus his two brothers-in-law also conspired. Zahra shrank the corner of her watery eyes as it did not stop laughing. Silva also could not stop laughing, the sadness he felt just now was completely gone. Nita looked at Abi who was so kind to her two children. Seeing Silva so comfortable sitting near the man, he knew that his youngest son was like he had a father figure.

“Pa, it's in his house cheeks what's the kok rame kanya,” Kenan trying to shift the topic of conversation because annoyed always be the object of bully-an his brothers.

“Tonight Barra was bedridden Hanna,” replied Nina.

“Serious ma? Widih.. now has not become a single president again.”

“Iya, move to elo now predicate,” chirped Ravin.

“Weh ngga ya. I have a candidate, no Za?” Kenan raised his eyebrows.

“Still tentative. As long as you haven't met Penghulu, your soul mate can change. Are you sure Zahra really wants to be the same? Once he was just a khilaf, continued to be aware and not be married to elo hahaha.”

“Buset lambemu bang, severe. Do not want what good I thought when elo chasing after brother Frey,” sewot Kenan.

“What good? If I ask for help matchlangin, ngeles mulu lo rich bajaj,” reply Ravin does not want to lose.

“Gue deliberately let brother increase his efforts to make dapetin kak Frey. Proven right? Brother Frey klepek-klepek also.”

“Heleh.. There are lo ngerecokin I mulu.”

“Whisper both of you. My son can't sleep,” bursts Kenzie.

“Child you can not sleep if you work nengokin same nyiram head huahahaha.”

Freya patted the arm of her husband who spoke without a sieve, unaware that there were still innocent creatures that had not been stained with his brain. Nita could not help but laugh let alone look at the confused looking Silva.

“Sorry my children, yes. They like not to use filters if you've been chatting,” Nina told Nita.

“Ngga nothing ma'am. His name is also young.”

Nita smiled at Nina. The worry he felt earlier while heading to the Abi residence disappeared completely seeing the warm attitude of the entire family. Nita really hopes that Zahra can match Kenan, not because the young man is from among the people, but the warmth in the Wisdom family is expected to fill the emptiness of the heart of his eldest daughter who so longs for the warmth of the family and the figure of the father.
