CEO Takluk
Chapter 50 Journey to Jogja
On a bed in her room, Cassandra recalls the words of the company's deputy CEO. On purpose, he had broken the cord of friendship with his mother, simply because of the ego in his youth. The girl did not even tell her new cell phone number to her mother, nor any other half-brother. All of a sudden, the girl felt homesick about her mother's condition.
"How are you now, is she okay. It's been a long time, I've never exchanged any news, or found out about Mom." Cassandra talked to herself.
"Do I have to find out how you are now, or should you ignore it as usual. But the words of Mr. Alex have a point too, very sinful and not good a child breaks the cord on purpose, let alone to his own mother." back the girl thought word for word, what Alexander said to him in the office this afternoon.
Slowly the girl got up and got out of bed. Cassandra tiptoed to pick up the small bag, which she had not opened for a long time. Small bags containing card names, as well as notes in the agenda book, about the important mobile numbers of relatives and colleagues. After opening the hook and zipper, Cassandra picked up the notebook, then opened it slowly.
"081329739888; heh.." after reading the phone number written in thick ink, the girl sighed.
Seems heavy, and something stuck in the heart when reading the series of letters. The girl hesitated, either wanting to call the phone number, or ignoring it. For a while, Cassandra tried to weigh what she would do with the number, but had not yet found a way out.
"Mama, even though the words now feel very far to reach, but Sandra also can not forget everything. Oh my God, what should I do to overcome my anxiety.." Togetherness with her mother when papa Cassandra was alive, reflected back in her eyes.
With loving papa Cassandra hugged from behind, and suddenly her mother ran to hug her from the front. Seemed a very complete happiness, but suddenly the shadow of his papa died in the hospital, because it could not survive the attack of cancer he suffered also seemed to dance in front of him.
"Papa. papa. why papa so quickly left Cassandra pa.. Right now, Sandra needs a grip pa.., Sandra needs a hug papa.." tears involuntarily flowed out through the corner of the girl's eyes. A sudden tightness just ambushed in Cassandra's chest, and the girl could only cry.
But fortunately, not long after that the girl was able to regain her emotions. Slowly Cassandra wiped the tears using tissue, then made an outgoing call on her mother's mobile number. Moments connected, no tone has been heard if the call was received. Cassandra was still patiently waiting for him, until...
"Hallo, who is this. uhukk.." Cassandra again felt shocked and jolted, hearing her mother's voice that looked weak and coughed. It was as if there was an illness suffered by his mother.
"Mama, let's not say this is mama.. Sandra, it's Sandra who's talking ma, how's mama doing right now.." Cassandra immediately confirmed who received her call.
"San. dra.. This is mama son., hiks..hiks. How are you now my daughter, I hope that wherever you are, you are fine. Uhuk.. uhuk.." Cassandra's mom coughed again, and it made the girl feel panicked.
"Mama does not need to worry about the state of Cassandra ma. What pain did ma... tell Cassandra." frantically, the girl tried to find out what kind of situation her mother was going through.
"Okay. although mama does not want to tell how the state of her own mother. Wait for Sandra ma.., Friday night, Cassandra will look for a flight to Jogja ma, wait for my mother's daughter." because her mother does not want to speak anymore, she said, finally the girl made up her mind to find out for herself the condition of her mother.

Unbeknownst to Andreas Jonathan and Alexander, as soon as the working hours were over, Cassandra rushed out and asked Rahman to deliver her directly to Halim Perdanakusuma airport. Cassandra chose a smaller airport because she did not want to walk longer, and with the Batik Air plane, the girl headed to Yogyakarta.
"Thank you Rahman for bringing Sandra to Halim.." Cassandra thanked the company drivers who delivered her. He immediately lifted the cabin bag, and rejected the man who would help to lift it.
"Sama-sama non. approximately until what day is non Sandra in Jogja, to arrange for pick-up." Rahman responded to Cassandra's words, and would pick her up when the girl returned to Jakarta again.

"Satisfying non Sandra only, I came back yes non. May the journey of non Sandra reach Jogja safely, as well as the return to this city is also safe." Rahman opened the car door, and the man entered.
Cassandra remained standing until the man ran her car, and waved at Rahman who had driven her.

"Batik Air Jogja destination yes mbak, terschedull on time. Can't be boarding over there." The examiner directs the girl. Because it does not carry luggage, Cassandra is very smooth when checking.
