After cradling his phone for a while, Joe finally ventured to call someone even though it was late at night.
Tut's. Tut's. Tut's.
Joe waited, hoping that his current phone call would be picked up by the person he was referring to, until 10 seconds passed, his call still had no response. Joe just resigned.
📞"Hallo, what's up Joe?" a voice welcome across there suddenly rang out and tainted Joe's lethargic soul. His spirit rose, as soon as he heard the voice of the owner where he worked.
📞"I apologize Sir if it has disrupted your rest," said Joe maintaining his courtesy attitude to the employer.
📞"Not a problem Joe. I'm sure there must be something important until you call me this late? Say, what do you need?" the man said he was not disturbed.
📞"Thank you Master for your understanding. My wife is sick, I asked permission for a few days to take care of her. I promise, as soon as my wife gets better, I'll be back to work soon" Joe said without further ado.
No answer heard. Joe's heart pounded, worried about rejection, because just a month ago he took a week off to deliver Virranda and Verrel back to Indonesia.
📞"Good. When are you leaving?" said Mr. George suddenly.
📞"Tonight is also sir," said Joe in excitement almost jumping from his bed.
📞"I understand your predicament Joe, away from your wife and son. I've also experienced the same thing as you, away from family, while building my company."
📞"For your request one month ago, to move to our branch in Indonesia, I will arrange it as soon as possible. It's just that I ask, just be my employee."
📞"About your flight schedule, please confirm with your supervisor. I don't want any obstacles in the job." insisted Mr. George.
📞"Thank you very much Sir. Thank you very much. I don't know what to say and how to repay all the kindness, and your attention to me." Joe said full of need, get good treatment from his employer.
📞"Quite work diligently and discipline as you've been doing all this time Joe. That's enough" said the man.
📞"Good Master I will always try to do my best. Once again thank you very much" Joe said with an infinite sense of happiness.
📞"Joe's Together."
After their phone line was closed, Joe hurriedly grabbed his suitcase from the top of the closet and put in a few pieces of his clothes. Not to forget he opened his phone, checked the flight departure list that early morning.
...🍓🍓🍓...
Virranda, who had been unable to sleep since last night, forced herself out of her bed that morning. He stumbled toward the secret safe behind his painting. From there he picked up a neatly wrapped object using transparent plastic and brought it back to his bed.
He grabbed his phone and pressed one of the names in his contacts.
📞"Hallo Miss, good morning," came the firm voice of a man from across the phone.
📞"Come now to my house. I'm asking you to check whose fingerprints are on the evidence I have" Virranda said, sounding hoarse and weak.
📞"Good Miss, I'll be there soon," said the man.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
"Come in" said Virranda still with his hoarse and weak voice.
"Dear Mommy's son, are you ready to go to school?" Virranda returned the embrace of Verrel who held her so tightly. His son was wearing his school uniform neatly and fragrantly.
"Verrel didn't want to go to school today. Verrel wants to take care of Mommy, but aunty forces Verrel into Mom's school," she says, pointing her hand at Arin's aunt, who is laying a tray on the nightstand.
Virranda laughed weakly at the sullen face Verrel showed.
"Verrel should stay in school. There's a lot of aunts in this house looking after Mommy baby. If you are diligent in school, Verrel will become smart and can achieve the ideals of being a pilot like Daddy," Virranda gently persuaded.
"Yes, Verrel has to be a pilot like Daddy" said the boy, weak and visibly uninspired.
"Kok not excited as usual if you say you want to be a pilot? Heum?" reprimand Virranda gently.
"There's no Daddy. Verrel kangen Daddy's. If there was Daddy, Verrel would not worry about leaving Mommy at home," said Verrel still lethargic.
"Don't be sad Den." chirped Aunt Arin as she brought a bowl of warm soup closer to Virranda and Verrel.
"So Daddy's den Verrel phone, will go home today, maybe later tonight or early tomorrow has arrived" said aunt Arin who made the mother and child equally surprised.
"What's Bi?!" they both scream at the same time. I can't believe what my aunt said.
"True, Auntie boong's time. Aunty would not dare," he said with a chuckle.
Verrel hugged his mother tightly and shouted, "Sweet!! Daddy's home!"
Aunt Arin smiled widely, looking at the happiness of the two with haru, the face of Virranda who paled because she did not want to eat and did not sleep last night, slightly flushed in the second part of her smooth cheeks. While Verrel who had released his embrace from his mother immediately pranced around with excitement.
"Miss, sir's message. Miss must eat, and rest at home, do not go to the office first today," said aunt Arin on the sidelines of a smile they noticed the action of Verrel's excitement.
"Yes Bi, I'll eat. Give me the bowl," he asked with outstretched hands.
"But Miss, Miss is still weak" said Aunt Arin as she looked at her employer's pale and disheveled face.
"It's okay Bi. I can still if just bribe the soup," said Virranda with her hand still outstretched on the bowl in the hands of aunt Arin. "Auntie please take care of Verrel, afraid he's late" he added.
"Well Miss," Aunt Arin finally gave Virranda a bowl of soup in her hand.
"Den Verrel, we're off to school now. Come on, say goodbye to Mommy," said the aunt to Verrel who was still doing the action tirelessly, even though sweat had poured in several parts of his body.
"Verrel left first, Mom. Do not forget to take a shower, so Mommy still looks beautiful when Daddy comes home," he said innocently while kissing the back of his mother's hand.
"Okay, Mommy will do it" said Virranda was excited like her son.
Aunt Arin smiled, then took Verrel's tiny hand and led him out of Virranda's room.
"Love is magical!" inner aunt Salu. She could see that her mistress loved her husband very much.
From yesterday afternoon, until this morning, he saw that his Miss was lethargic and was carrying such a heavy burden, no matter what, he did not dare to ask. But this morning, after hearing that the mistress' husband was coming home, the mother and child were so happy that even the Miss who was forced to eat was very difficult, was already willing to eat.
