BEING THE CEO'S MISTRESS
Bringing Mother to Jakarta

The next day after undergoing surgery, Kayra ventured to talk with her mother about her planned move to Jakarta.

" How's it going, Mother?" tanya Kayra sat on the edge of her mother's gurney lying down.

" Thank God Mom is fine, son." said Ibu Sari weakly.

" Mom, Kayra will take Mom to Jakarta. I'll stay with Kayra there. Is it okay, Mom?" Kayra asked her mother's approval first, because she knew it would not be easy to bring her mother to live in Jakarta.

Ibu Sari's forehead shriveled, in fact she wanted to refuse her son's request because she did not have to live in Jakarta. Ibu Sari prefers to live in her hometown in Bandung. But he realized his current condition did not allow him to stay home alone. Moreover, some of his house was absorbed by the red jago.

" Mom don't have to worry, there will be people who will take care of Mom as long as I work there. Kayra can't leave her job for too long and Kayra can't leave Mom here alone either. As long as I'm not healthy and we haven't renovated the house, I'd better join Kayra to Jakarta. Kayra please you can understand." Kayra asked for understanding from her mother.

" You don't have to tell people to take care of Mom, son. I can take care of myself Mom. After all, only the left hand is injured, your right hand can still function. Don't spend money on unimportant things, Kayra. You're definitely gonna need some funds to renovate our house." Sari's mother forbade Kayra from hiring people to take care of her because she felt she could take care of herself.

" Especially yesterday you had to pay for the hospital costs of Mother," continued Ibu Sari felt sorry for her daughter because she had to bear a lot of expenses.

" Mom doesn't have to think about that. The cost of the hospital and my mother's treatment has been borne by my office, Mom. For the person who will take care of Mom in Jakarta is also Boss Kayra who finances her. So I don't have to worry about Kayra's finances. Right now Kayra is just focused on renovating the house." Kayra explained to her mother if she was not too confused about the cost of her parents' care.

Mother Sari's forehead that had shown a scratch was increasingly wrinkled when she heard her daughter's words saying all the hospital and medical expenses were borne by the company where her daughter worked.

" Considered by the company? But how can you, son? Not the mother who works there but you, why is the cost of Mother also borne by the company?" Ibu Sari certainly felt strange at the discretion of the company where Kayra worked even though she felt grateful if her daughter was not burdened by the amount of hospital costs.

" It's my boss's decision, ma'am. Mr. Erlangga is in desperate need of my energy, so he is willing to facilitate Mother's treatment so that Kayra can return to focus in work." Kayra revealed the reason for her boss who was willing to spend more for her to return to the office as soon as possible.

" Doesn't that make other employees jealous if you get this kind of preferential treatment, Kayra?" Surely Kayra's mother was worried that her son would become a gossip in her office because he was treated as such by his own superiors.

" I hope no one thinks like that, ma'am. Because Mr. Erlangga decided this because it requires Kayra's presence in the office." Although actually Kayra herself as her mother thought but of course she would not dare to show her worry in front of her mother.

" I hope so, son. I'm afraid that if any other employee envies you, then he'll do evil by bringing you down, Kayra." As a mother, Ibu Sari did not want her child to be hostile by fellow employees in Erlangga's office.

In accordance with his promise, Erlangga was really serious about his words. He rented an ambulance and a nurse to pick up Kayra and Ibu Sari who would soon be taken to Jakarta.

" Mom, we're leaving now." Kayra brought the wheelchair closer to her mother's gurney. After five days overnight in the hospital finally Ibu Sari will be taken Kayra to her rented house in Jakarta.

" Let me carry it, Ma'am!" Diah, the person hired by Erlangga's men to care for and take care of Ms. Sari asked for a wheelchair that Kayra was holding.

" Oh, thank you, Ma'am Diah." Kayra expressed her gratitude for Diah's offer that would help her bring Mother Sari.

" Let me help, Mom." Diah then helps Sari's mother to move into a wheelchair. While Kayra brought Mother Sari's clothes and hers that they had been wearing for several days staying at the hospital.

" Sir, I want to stop by the house first. There are some things I want to bring to Jakarta." Kayra asked permission for Diah to stop by her parents' house first before going to Jakarta because there are some clothes that Ibu Sari must bring and she also wants to leave her house to the neighbors in Jakarta around her parents' house.

" Good, Ma'am." said Diah.

For almost thirty minutes they finally arrived in front of Kayra's parents' house. Kayra and Ibu Sari stared for a while at the house that still looked intact in front but was burned in the later part.

Kayra rubbed Mother Sari's shoulder, trying to calm her mother's heart which must have been very sad looking at her house.

" Mom's in the car, huh!? Let Kayra go down to see Mr. RT and the next door neighbors because we're gonna leave this house to them until we renovate our house." Kayra asked her mother to wait in the car as long as she picked up some stuff and bailed with her neighbors.

" I want to say goodbye to my neighbor first, Kayra." Sari's mother felt that she had been helped and accompanied by many neighbors around her house so she wanted to say goodbye to them.

" Let them come later, ma'am." Kayra didn't let her mother down.

" But I'm not good, Kayra." Sari's mother insisted on going down to meet the neighbors around her house.

" They understand, Mom." Kayra still forbids her mother who insists on going down.

" Sir Diah, please take care of my mother for a moment, huh!? You stay here, don't go anywhere!" Kayra strictly forbade Ms. Sari to go down, then she opened the door and got out of the car to meet with Mr. RT and also took some items that she would bring to Jakarta.

" Mr. RT, Ms. RT and Ms. Wati, I landed the house, huh? Maybe I waited a while before renovating while waiting for Mother to recover," Kayra said as she said goodbye to the chairman of RT and Mbak Wati who had helped her mother a lot.

" Yes, Kayra. God willing we will take care of Mother Sari's house. All the valuables have been taken, right?" ask Mr. RT.

" Already, Sir. Yesterday I had to leave it at the home of Ma'am Wati. Only furniture is left in the house. My electronic goods were deposited at Mr. RT's house first. I'm sorry if I'm so much trouble Mr and RT's mother also Mbak Wati." Kayra felt bad because she felt a lot of trouble for her neighbor.

" We've been neighbors for a long time, Kayra. Ever since your father was around, we've been helping each other." Mr. RT said if they have been used to helping each other especially so far the Kayra family is known to be so good and light-handed with neighbors around.

" Oh yes, sir. Here I have a little sustenance for Mr. RT and Mbak Wati, please accept, yes!?" Kayra gave two envelopes to Pak RT and Mbak Wati containing five hundred thousand each for Pak RT and Mbak Wati. Of course Kayra was very self-aware, asking for help she also did not forget to give rewards even though they all sincerely helped her mother.

" What is this, Kayra? You don't have to be like this! We all help Sari's mother." Mr. RT refused the envelope containing the money presented by Kayra.

" Yes, Kayra. Don't be like that! We all helped your mother because of the responsibilities of being a neighbor here, there's no need to love this." Just like Mr. RT, Ms. Wati also refused the gift of Kayra.

" You're spending a lot on Kayra, you better save this money." Ms. RT realized that there would be a lot of expenses that must be borne by Kayra, therefore she also affirmed her husband's rejection of the rewards given by Kayra.

" It's okay, Mr. RT. Mba Wati. During this time Mr and Ms. RT also Ms. Wati sincerely helped my Mother, I also sincerely gave this to Mr. RT and Mbak Wati. Please accept yes, sir, Ma'am." Kayra forced the two men to accept the gift, although it continued to be rejected eventually after being persuaded several times by Kayra Pak RT and Mbak Wati to accept the gift.
