Ella took her phone from her tote bag. Observing his phone screen, opening his chat application. There was no message from Ardi at all, with Ella snorting a little and putting the phone back into her lap.
Today Ardi promised to pick him up after poly watch but somehow until 14:00 this afternoon Ardi had not seen the trunk of his nose. An hour had passed since the time of his agreement with Ardi.
"Lho El, how come you're not home yet?" Roni happens to pass in the hospital lobby and greets Ella.
"Eh you're Ron? Again waiting for Ardi's invitation" replied Ella to the point. He does not want to repeat the mistake again by giving false hope to Roni.
"Oh. That's why I came home first huh" Pamit Roni was a little uncomfortable with Ella's answer carrying Ardi's name. Roni realizes that Ella is trying to get away from him.
"Well, by the way" Ella waved her hand ushering in Roni's departure.
Roni cheered and walked away from Ella. Ella sits alone in a loby chair while playing with her phone. A short message for Ardi.
Ella
Ardi's so pick you up? How long? Did I just go home by myself?
And of course there is still no response or answer from Ardi. Huh sucks, indeed sometimes Ardi can be a very nervous person like this. And worse without news, who can try to be patient waiting for an hour without complaining? Waiting is the most boring thing in the world.
At one time Ardi can be a very on-time person and at other times he can be very nervous. It makes Ella confused to decide how to deal with it. But mostly he was late for a good reason, which is usually due to his emergency work at the office. Makes Ella unable to really get mad at him.
Is the meeting elongated? Have Ardi and his company found a solution to their problems?
Ella is soon shocked by a message from Ardi telling Ella that she has come and is waiting for him in front of the lobby. Ella immediately walked towards the car park in front of Loby RSUD G. Directly approached the black pajero sports car that was stopping at the drop off point there. Ella immediately entered the car and the car drove back on the asphalt.
Ella was about to open her mouth to say good day to Ardi, when Ardi prevented her. Gave him a signal that he was on a phone call. Finally Ella again closed her mouth and noticed the screen of Ardi's cell phone that displayed a picture of the Pradana family with the exact same Javanese theme as the one in Ardi's house.
"That's not what it is" Ardi spoke to someone on his phone with the speaker's load mode so Ella could hear it too. The man continued to drive his car while talking to someone who seemed to be a member of the Paradana family. "It's too much"
"But Choirul is your old mom and dad. Pay respect a little bit, how is she also older than you" the voice across there seemed to be the voice of a strict adult woman.
"Pay respect for such a maling? Don't hope!" Reply Ardi with a hardened tone. "I would respect if he deserved my respect"
"That doesn't need to be extended. Money problems just that do not have to be too much made up" Voice across also insisted.
"Money is just that? Thirteen Billion ma! For the company Ardi money so big value" this time Ardi really angry.
"And he promised to return all your money. Abis things, right? Nagapain compounded the problem?"
"How do you want Ardi?" asked Ardi in an emotional tone. Oh it turns out she was talking to her own mother, the inner Ella. The girl was silent and did not dare to speak or comment. Fear of interrupting their conversation.
"Cancel his dismissal. Create a new MOU with him for the continuation of your cooperation. Thats. All done and both sides are equally profitable"
"Can't ma. Ardi doesn't want to work with people like that anymore." Ardi Protest. Seems to be holding back his emotions by not speaking harsh words or swearing at his mother.
"The ardi! Mama why?!" Mama Ardi also raised her voice. Starting emotions also seemed to be facing his stubborn son. "Just mom wants you to re-hire Mr. Choirul." Continue to end the conversation.
"But, ma..." Ardi still objected. But his mother had been hunted to hang up his phone call with Ardi unilaterally.
Ardi slammed his phone from the holder on the car dashboard angrily "Basic Maling damn! Don't know yourself!" His parents were angry while continuing to drive his car at increasingly higher speeds.
Ella was silent, not daring to say anything or speak a word. Ardi's mood is very bad as it is right now. Ella even undoes her intention to scold and nag Ardi who is late to pick her up. With the current situation it could be like dousing oil in a blaze.
Ella looked at Ardi's face, driving her car in silence. Ardi's face still looks handsome even though most of his facial muscles are hardened, contracting because it holds back his burning emotions.
"I'm sorry, El. I was late to pick him up" said Ardi after a long silence.
"Eh? The el? what are you?" Ardi slightly jumped in shock and amused to realize Ella's body was swiping and attached to her thighs.
"Take Ardi's cell phone" Ella replied after reaching out and retrieving the phone. The girl tried to get up from her position, but because of the turn, the car slightly suffered a slight shock. The shock that was able to make Ella's body thrown towards Ardi. The more attached to it.
"Oh, duh" Ella complained because of the shock. Quickly he tried to get up from Ardi's body. "I'm sorry." she pulled away from Ardi back in her chair, turned her face towards the window to hide her already hot face.
"Don't think you're aggressive too huh, El hehehe" Goda Ardi, a little anxious with Ella's shy face.
"Where are we going?" Ella did not respond to Ardi's temptation, trying to shift the conversation in the other direction.
"Dnr*th"
"Well?" Ella astonishment. Elizab*th is a bag shop and all kinds of women's knickknacks, well some men's goods are also sold there.
"Give a gift for your mom's birthday"
"When?"
"Week end later" replied Ardi. "So mama called to tell me to come home for her birthday. Well even though the next conversation was very guessing..."
"Ehm..id there be a problem again?" ella asked pretending not to hear Ardi's conversation with her mother earlier.
"We've been in a meeting for days over the dismissal of the corporate thief. I also arrived late to pick you up because the discussion of the meeting was not finished yet..."Ardi started telling Ella.
"It turns out that jerk asked for a deckengan from my mama. And mama's really involved in my company's business"
"Give me another chance can't ya? Isn't he willing to take back all your company's losses?"
"Can't do it. It has to do with my credibility as a leader. Where do I want to lick my own saliva. I don't want to be called a leader who is planful in making decisions" Ardi's tone of voice slightly raised.
"But everything is done, right?"
"Yes. The tender with the replacement contractor is also in order. All the transfer of business from Choirul to the new contractor was also clear. Even after slightly raising their provit, the other contractors became more loyal and respectful to us. They respect us who are being assertive indiscriminately" Ardi snorted in annoyance. "Then did Mom want me to cancel everything? just for the sake of that jerk?...Hmh! I'm not going to!"
"Emang mas Ardi can go against mama mas's orders?" ella asked a little afraid to imagine how Mama Ardi who seemed so loud was.
"could. At least for my own company, you have no right to interfere" Ardi turned his car into the parking lot of a large three-story store that looked quite luxurious from the outside.
"The mother knew nothing about the company. Just the origin of the order without knowing the consequences. There's no way I'm going to do something silly like that" Ardi parked his car right in front of the store.
"Indeed, he wouldn't be angry if Ardi didn't want to obey?"
"Anger. They may be angry, even very angry. So let's now look for something that can only vent his anger... Help me pick a gift" Ardi turned off the car's engine and got out of the car.
Ella followed Ardi out of the car as well. They walked up the stairs and entered the shop door. Oh so Ardi wants to bribe his mama not to sulk this story? Hehe funny also this relationship of both mother and child, Ella smiled at herself thinking about it. So increasingly curious about how the mother nature of the man she loved it.
Ella remembers Ardi's mother's face from the family photo she had seen. The woman was very beautiful even in her half-baby age. But Ella can also guess the nature of Mama Ardi very hard. Whether in educating his children or in his daily life from the stories Linggar, Laras, even his conversation with Ardi just now.
This of course fosters a fear of Ella to face her future father-in-law. What if Mama Ardi doesn't like it? Would she accept him as her son's lover? Will he be against his relationship with Ardi?
