CLBK With My Boss
papa Aldo's Mission

"Where are you going?" gery asked when he had just set foot in his parents' house.

"You're out of town for a second, there's something you need to do. Tumben once you get home?" now Papa Aldo who was surprised, the tumben once Gery wanted to go home even though it was still afternoon.

"Woodoo here, pa? Gery needs to be with him. Gery's phone has not been picked up by him" Gery replied, apparently he came home just to find Bayu's whereabouts.

"He told me to come with you out of town. He must be waiting for Papa at the airport. Is there any need for you to be with him?" ask papa.

"There is no pa. Um, you already then Gery back to the apartment alone" said Gery who wanted to resign.

"Lastily so. Don't you want to go with your mom?" ask Papa Aldo.

"No pa, very lazy if mama maksa Gery to be close to Alexa" replied Gery.

"You seem to be seriously having a special relationship with your secretary huh, Gery?" search Papa Aldo.

"Ehm, how to explain yes pa. Better papa immediately to the airport, surely Bayu has been waiting. Gery wants to say goodbye to the apartment just want to return to the apartment" said Gery who still does not want to be honest.

"It's up to you" replied the papa.

"Gery, you're not in yet. Where are you going now?" shouted mama Weni who was walking side by side with a woman.

"Ish, get caught mama" grumbled Gery, Papa Aldo just a small smile while continuing his steps towards the car.

"Gery's going to the apartment, ma. There was a need to be papa but papa wants to go out of town" replied Gery lazily.

"Don't go home yet. Like you're here, please take Alexa home. All day long she nemenin mama, we cook together, watch together, eat together" began the excitement of the mother made Gery a little closed eyes.

"Or you take him for a walk first. Poor she is alone in her house, there are no friends" said Mama Weni who had started whining while holding her son's hand.

"Gery's busy, ma. Gery's work is a lot" Gery refused.

"lihave you. Mom went to the office, but you didn't exist. Your employees say you're visiting your secretariat at the hospital. Is that what you call busy?" mama Weni started sulking.

If it's like this, Gery's parents can't bear to see it. After all, a boy must love his mother.

"Gery went to the hospital to ask for a schedule, ma" said Gery as he glanced at Alexa who had smiled at him.

"Have you? Now, take Alexa away for a while. You it, this is the request of Mama loh Gery" urged Mama Weni.

"Argh, okay. Let me take him home first" Gery finally relented.

"Don't go straight home, buy something for his parents. You are how the hell" grumbled Mama Weni.

"Yes ma" said Gery while letting Alexa into his car.

While papa Aldo who has been gone since, can only pity the fate of his son.

Hope the goal this time is right. In his mind as a parent, the guilt is still attached to letting his child face his own hard times when he was a teenager.

The reason for the job he told his brother when he left Gery, made Papa Aldo feel guilty until now.

And now, he is trying to make amends with one small step that might have a big impact.

Papa Aldo's journey felt so fast with all the sad memory he felt.

Now, accompanied by Bayu, he has arrived at a large house with a very well-maintained old design.

Punden house occupied by the brother, Pramono Subagya. Tumah childhood he lived with his family before deciding to move to the city center, Jakarta with his wife when just married first.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

a doubtful knock is done by Pap Aldo, hoping not to get a negative reception from the brother after the door opens.

"Good afternoon, Assalamualaikum" said Bayu from the terrace of the house.

There was no answer, for a moment papa Aldo looked around. The atmosphere still looks the same, only the paint color and the terrace chair has been replaced.

"Waalaikumsalam" finally a hoarse voice of a man sounded from behind the door.

After the door opened, the middle-aged man who was in front of Papa Aldo was still unmoved. Looking at the unbelief in the circumstances in front of him.

"Aldo? You came alone?" ask Pak Pram, the name of the greeting from Pramono.

"Yes, I'm alone. How are you, mas?" ask Papa Aldo.

"As you can see, I'm still healthy. How's Gery doing? Does he still like to argue with you?" ask Pram who still has not allowed his sister to enter.

"Oh, sure. Come in, I thought you no longer wanted to enter this house" said Mr. Pram.

"Don't talk like that, ma'am" said Papa Aldo as he followed his brother.

"Mas, who's coming?" ask a long-veiled woman who came from inside.

"Oh, apparently you're the one who came Aldo? Where's Weni?" ask Ms. Idah, Mr. Pram's wife.

"Weni's at home, ma'am. I came alone intentionally. How are you, mbak?" ask Papa Aldo to make small talk.

"Ah, I knew he still wouldn't come here. I'm Alhamdulillah well, wait a minute, I will prepare a drink for you" said Ida.

"No need to bother, ma'am. The plan is I'll stay here for a few days, don't you mind?" ask Papa Aldo to ask permission, because if you ask Mr. Pram for sure he will not allow.

"Of course I can. Your room is still the same. I always have bi Asih clean it every day. Is Bayu also going to stay?" tanya Bu Ida who also knows Bayu.

"Come to him" replied Papa Aldo.

"You could've stayed here, Bay. There are still many empty rooms here, the late parents Mas Pram deliberately made many rooms to accommodate his brother who came" said Bu Ida who increasingly makes Papa Aldo feel guilty for rarely going home.

"It's up to you, ma'am" replied Bayu.

"So stay overnight, Bay. Don't you listen to Aldo who always tells you to work. Later you will be a workaholic like if you always obey all his orders" said Mr. Pram.

"Alright, sir" replied Bayu.

"Alright then, I'll rest first. Tomorrow I have something to do" said Papa Aldo.

"Just up to you. As long as you do not troublemaker" said Mr. Pram.

"You think I'm still a labile man? I'm old, mas. Experience has taught me many things" replied Papa Aldo as he entered the house further, to his room which he used to occupy while still living in this house.

"Go to your own room, Bay. Take a break, thank you for your hard work" said Papa Aldo.

According to him, walk straight to the room that is already available. With the direction of the art Pak Pram.

In the living room, Ida was heard reprimanding her husband.

"Mas, don't be too hard on him. He is no longer a child" Ms Ida said.

"For me he's just Aldo who's always on his own terms, ma'am. For the sake of his own ego, he tensely snatches the lover from his best friend, alienating his son when in trouble, and, separating his son from the girl who had managed to make him change and lastly he did not even come to his own mother's funeral for the sake of his work" said Pram.

"May the experience make it change. Give her a chance to fix everything, mas" advised Bu Ida, her husband who is a retired woman is a little harsh in nature.

"Yes, I hope he gets better, ma'am" Mr. Pram said.
