Today Arlan's work can be said to pile up. Yesterday after a meeting with a client, Arlan was preoccupied with the demand for a new jacket design. Arlan owns a clothing company. He has a brand that is well known at home and abroad. Most of the goods are exported abroad. So no wonder if he had factories in several cities, and his employees were several thousand people.
Already two Arlan factories experienced quiet orders, even many employees who resigned. I don't know what made Arlan's company lose the trust of its clients. And now some of its branches are experiencing the same decline in orders.

Arlan's phone ringer took his eyes off the laptop. He saw the name "Mama" on his phone screen. Immediately Arlan shifted the green button on the screen of his phone.
"hello ma" said Arlan
📞
Ar, you're going to Ling's house now, right? pick him up
"why ma?"
📞
Your marriage will be only a few days away, you come to the grave of Ling's mother.
"but Arlan's a lot of work ma"
📞
Mama did not accept the rejection of Ar, anyway now you have to pick up Ling
"Arlan forgot his house ma"
📞
Not many reasons, who does not know the Anggara family home. Go now or mom to the office to pick you up
"Arlan departs now ma"
📞
Good, don't forget to send me a picture of you two. Let mama believe
"Ma.,,, uh..,,,"
📞
*Remember Ar, no rejection
Tut*
Mama hung up the phone unilaterally.
"what the hell, I'm doing a lot of work" said Arlan who closed his laptop and snatched Jas and car keys. When out of the room Arlan looks hunted, but he took a stop in front of Nisa's table.
"Nisa, I'm out for a while, later if Yoga has returned tell him to continue my work on the blue map" Arlan
"yes sir" said Nisa with a slight smile. Honestly he wanted to ask where Arlan was going, but he stopped seeing Arlan's face that looked serious
What's the business, but I don't know the schedule. Where am I going to send a message?. Inner Nisa
Arlan hurried to the elevator and immediately drove his car. Actually now her mind is on Nisa. It has to be how he and Nisa will be. If he was concerned about his feelings, Arlan would very much like to go far away from here. But what about the company and its parents who bear the shame.
Arlan stopped in front of the closed gate. And from the inside, a security guard approached Arlan's car.
"Good morning sir, who do you want to meet?" ask the security guard
"I'm Arlan, I want to see Arlinka"
"have an appointment?"
"yet, but it looks like my mama's already contacted Arlinka." Arlans
"i opened the gate first sir, please" said the security guard
After parking his car, Arlan walked towards the main door. This house is no less luxurious than the home of his parents. How not fancy, if Mr. Anggara is the owner of the Retail Franchise business and also the famous logistics franchise here. Even abroad there are already some Anggara family minimarkets.
Tok tok tok tok
"Son Arlan" said Dyah who happened to open the door
"yes aunt, is Arlinka around?" ask Arlan
"Some, let's go in. Ling might still be sleeping, let auntie call you. You sit here first huh"
"unty thank you"
Still asleep? it's eleven already. Lazy girl, Arlan said inwardly
When Dyah arrived in front of Ling's room, it was true that Ling was still sleeping.
"yes ma'am?" ask Ling with his pillow face
"below there's Arlan Ling"
"uh uh? Ling still dreams ma'am?" Ling patted her own cheek
"you don't dream, take a shower and meet him." Bu Dyah stroked Ling's arm
"i.iya ma'am" Ling immediately took a shower and headed down.
There Arlan looks busy with the tablet. Ling approached and sat down on the single sofa beside Arlan
"good morning Mr. Arlan" Ling said because Arlan did not glance at him earlier
"okay good afternoon then, why did Mr Arlan come here?"
"can't I come here?"
"not like that, oh I know. Must be me, right?" ask Ling
"it's a lot of confidence that I'm here because I told my mom to pick you up"
"do we want to walk sir?"
"don't call me father, how many times do I have to tell you" said Arlan who did not like it
"oh sorry, sir" Ling
"do not provoke my emotions, quickly change clothes and follow me" At this time Ling only uses shirts and also skirts limited to the knee.
"change what clothes? a gown? a bikini? hangout shirt? or a formal suit?"
"it's up to you, we go to your mama's grave" Arlan said, and made Ling pause for a moment
"wait a minute" said Ling who turned serious, unlike earlier who looked like he was judging Arlan.
In the car Arlan and Ling were silent, after Ling told him where his mammary grave was.
"master doesn't work?" asked Ling breaking the silence
"don't call me master, can't you call me right" Arlan
"what's he called? Arlan?"
"yes what's more appropriate"
"is it baby, honey or baby?. Not really 😁" Ling said
"i'll soon be your husband. Don't argue with this issue anymore "
"if that's the case" Ling
Mas's? a call from Nisa that always made me remember her. Why is it so strange that Arlinka said. Inner Arlan
"why silence, so you call me mas?"
"i'm not a bully, don't call me a mas"
"it's really complicated. That's my brother" Ling
"Ang? indeed I am the brother of a meatball" Arlan was a little pouty which Ling found very funny
"branch of the mongrel"
"i'm not raiding ya" Arlan
"i mean that the dreadlocks are the language of clothes, brother has a clothing brand right?"
"be it my dizziness, it's coming down"
Arlan was followed down by Ling, they headed to a stand that sold flowers. Ling chose a rose, rose water and also a bouquet of lily flowers.
"wear this alone" Arlan thrust out the two red sheets, as he saw Ling open his bag.
"thank you" Ling said
Then they headed to the mami Ling's navel. The vortex that says "Jesika" is Ling's mother. It has been almost eight years since her mother left them. Ling gathered beside her mammary tomb, gently rubbing the tombstone. Ling and Arlan opened the sunglasses they were wearing.
"Mi, Ling is coming." said Ling, then sat down and prayed for her mother inwardly. So did Arlan.
"mami, Ling's not alone here. Mami knows Arlan's brother, right? aunt Erni's son. Arlan's brother will be Ling's husband in a few days' time" said Ling whose voice turned heavy
"Ling kangen sama mami, hiks" Ling began to cry considering her late mother
Arlan just kept quiet, he noticed Ling who was being as excited. Somehow his heart became sad when he saw Ling like that.
"Ling believes mami must be happy in heaven, pray Ling is also happy with brother ya mi." Ling lowered his head in hiding his pill cry
"tante, I will take care of Ling and make Ling happy" Arlan said, embracing Ling.
I don't know the courage from which Arlan touched and said that. Ling was silent for a moment and looked towards Arlan
"thank you, if mommy still exists. I will be very happy" Ling said
"everything is in destiny, now we are living what is" Arlan said and Ling nodded
"mommy, Ling and brother go home first huh" Ling said and placed the Lily flower on top of her mammoth belly button.
After that Ling and Arlan left the place and headed to the car. Arlan pulls his car over at a restaurant, and invites Ling down.
"lunch first, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"not yet sir"
"Bugget..!" furious Arlan
"em yes dear" Ling said as she held two fingers beside her face.
"the child's basics"
"you're the father of a child"
