3 months later...
"Please sit down Joe." Mr. George graciously invited, when the employee came to his room to fulfill his call.
"Thank you, sir," said Joe respectfully, then sat down on the chair he had reserved for him right before the table of the owner of the company where he worked.
"Joe, why don't you tell me that Mr. Loenhard is your father-in-law, actually" said Mr. George, staring at the employee.
He was curious, because most people would race to show off who he was, his partner, his parents-in-law, if they were classy and famous people. In contrast to Joe, the employee looked too simple in his sights.
Joe chuckled, responding to his boss.
"Why Joe, does my question sound funny? Are you feeling inferior and not confident?" said Mr. George saw Joe's response to his question. He remembered how the tension in Joe's face while eating dinner with his two leaders was during his company's birthday party a few months ago, at that time he did not know if Joe had a very close relationship with his two special guests.
"That's one of the reasons, Mr. George" said Joe, looking relaxed, but did not diminish his respect. He is indeed quite close to Mr. George, the owner of the company where he works because of his achievements in working to make the owner like him.
"I feel inferior and not confident. You also know who I was in the past. I am this, is nothing, and is no one Sir," continued Joe pulling a smile at the tip of his lips.
"But I fantasized too much about my life" Joe confirmed his sitting position before continuing his next sentence, while Mr. George watched him attentively, leaning on the seat behind him.
"I seemed to be ignorant of myself, loving the daughter of Mr. Loenhard, a wealthy businessman. Several times I have told myself that would not be possible. But the more days, that love keeps growing, well... I love Mr. Loenhard's daughter as much as I love myself." Joe smiled bitterly at the end of his sentence, recalling his struggle for the love of his wife and the blessing of his two in-laws, but he did not want to share with anyone, enough himself to keep all his stories.
Hearing Joe's words, Mr. George seemed to nod his head. The fat man is sure, Joe's struggle to get love and blessing in-laws is not easy, he said, little does he also know about Joe and his past which may be hard to accept by the wealthy businessman in his inner Loenhard class.
"But you deserve all the results of your struggle Joe" said Mr. George in praise.
As the owner of a company that is quite familiar with Joe who has worked in his company for almost 6 years, he knows if Joe is a hard worker, it is proven in 5 years, it is proven in 5 years, his employees have been able to win the second best pilot award, surpassing dozens of seniors. Not to mention the friendly and liking attitude of Joe to his coworkers who need his help, making himself liked and relied on by his colleagues.
"It seems that your in-laws already like you a lot" continued Mr. George again. "Last noon he called me, asking me to allow you to resign from my company," said Mr. George looking at Joe who immediately looked seriously at him, while upholding his sitting position.
"Me-resign-ku?" ask Joe to make sure.
"Yes, your father-in-law wants you to work in place of his old self to become a director at his company" explained Mr. George.
Joe was stunned for a moment, thinking about what Mr. George had said. A few months ago, at a dinner at George's airline company's birthday party, his father-in-law did talk to him about it.
"Will Mr George fire me from my job?" Joe asked the question.
"You know Joe, your father-in-law owns a 40 percent stake in my company. Plus, all the employees who do work or vacation services, use our airline."
"If I refuse his request, he may not withdraw his shares, but I'm afraid our relationship will be a little disturbed because of my discomfort with him."
Joe fell silent again, he again thought of the possibilities that would happen if he accepted or refused the offer from his father-in-law.
"But what if I'm the one who wants to survive here, sir?" joe looked at the leader.
"Are you sure Joe? Your father-in-law's company is more promising than here. In the company of your father-in-law, you will be appointed as a director, and here you are only as an employee" said Mr. George.
"I don't have the ability to be a director sir, but a pilot. And that's who I am, no matter if I'm just an employee" Joe said earnestly, so that he was still given the opportunity to work on the farm man in front of him.
Mr. George was silent for a moment, thinking about what he would say to his employee.
"That's just how Joe is. Actually, my primary purpose is to call you here because I want to give you this." Mr. George pulled out his desk drawer and took out a white envelope and handed it to Joe.
"What's this?" joe asked with a deep feeling, piercing the white envelope of Mr. George.
"Open up and read it first" said Mr. George staring at Joe's tense face.
Despite the doubts, Joe complies. He opened the envelope in his hand and took out a fold of paper from it. Slowly, he read it word for word on a white sheet of paper with great care.
"Is-this serious sir?" Joe showed the paper he just read to his boss with a look of disbelief, his feelings suddenly turned happy.
"Yes Joe. Like what's written there. You were mutated back to your home country, Indonesia-, at your request. Also, once a week you'll be teaching in aviation academics, where you're studying first." explained Mr. George, commenting on his smile.
"Thank God, thank you very much Mr. George" said Joe, filled with unspeakable joy. Finally, what he had prayed all along could be accomplished. The shadow to gather with his little family is now not just a dream, but soon will become a reality, making his eyes teary.
"Joe Together. I hope that when you get to Indonesia, you can speak well with your father-in-law."
"If you're being honest, I wish you could still work for my company, because the company still needs you so much. That's why, we sent you back to Indonesia in the hope that you could get together with your family."
"And your in-laws can consider it, and still allow you to work for our company" the man said.
