Duren Mateng's
Chapters 12. A Reason
Alvaro followed the assistant into his car. The man loosened a little of his tie that felt like it was strangling his neck.
Jun watched his superior expression from the glass. "Will she be the mother of Bima?" tanya June while turning on the engine of her car.
"I only did it because I had to. It's better not to ask any further," said Alvaro who looks really upset.
June just smelled her smile. I don't know what the purpose of the man was to desperately take steps like that. However, Jun knows very well if Alvaro's attitude was not showing an interest, maybe it could be the opposite.
After a long journey, the car driven by June arrived at kindergarten. Alvaro was just about to open the door. However, the man again clucked bitterly when he saw his son along with the teacher who tried to approach him.
"It looks like I have to come back to face another tough test" muttered Alvaro who got off the car.
June heard Alvaro's words that seemed to whisper. The man got out of the car and saw what his boss meant.
Alvaro walked over to the boy who was currently with his teacher. Bima immediately ran towards his father, when he saw Alvaro who walked up to him.
"Have you been waiting for me for a long time?" ask Alvaro. The little man nodded his head.
Shortly after, the woman known as Nana came to the two. Alvaro immediately put up a plan to leave immediately.
"Thank you for accompanying Bima. Then excuse me first," said Alvaro who was just about to turn around, suddenly there was a hand that was wriggling in his arm making Alvaro a little surprised.
"Sorry," said Nana who pulled back her arms that had been presumptuous in Alvaro's arms.
"What's wrong?" tanya Alvaro was cold.
"Emmm .. Look, I'm planning to take you out for dinner. Do you have time?" ask Nana.
Alvaro was stunned, then looked at his son who was in his arms. Bima looks smiling by displaying a row of teeth. Alvaro immediately closed his eyes as he sighed.
"I'm not ...."
"Papa would want to Master. Papa also often has dinner with prospective mothers for Bima," said Bima who immediately interrupted Alvaro's speech.
The man was immediately surprised, while Nana smiled shyly because Alvaro would accept his offer.
"But Papa ...." Alvaro's words came to a standstill when his son spoke right in front of his ear.
"Father, don't refuse Master. Madam Teacher who guards Bima at school. If Papa is evil as Master, then who will take care of Bima," whispered Bima
Come to think of it, what his son said was indeed true. He shouldn't be indifferent to this woman in front of him. However, this woman was the one who always accompanied her son when he was late to pick up Bima.
"Hows it? Do you want to?" asked Nana who was waiting for an answer from Alvaro.
"Alright," replied Alvaro after hearing the words of his son, he decided to accept Nana's invitation.
"Then, we make an appointment at restaurant X at 8pm" Nana said enthusiastically.
Alvaro just nodded his head. Really, he was made dizzy by his son who was too busy to find a replacement for his mother.
"Then, excuse me" said Alvaro, who left the woman alone.
Nana nodded, then developed her smile. He even clenched his hands while saying "Yes!"
Alvaro walked over to June. He saw the assistant's face seemed to be flushed red as he was about to laugh at her. How not? Jun sees for himself when Alvaro is again humiliated by his own son.
"Be careful if you dare laugh at me!" alvaro went straight into the car.
June closed the door after confirming Alvaro had actually entered. The man turned his face for a moment, then laughed while holding his stomach. After the laughter subsided, the assistant entered and occupied the driver's seat. He immediately drove the car to the main house, to drive Bima to live with his grandmother.

"This is a romantic name, one glass together" said Fahri while putting the ice cream into his mouth.
"It's not romantic, Mom. But impressed stingy," grumbled Arumi because Fahri who had previously eaten his ice cream.
"It's all right, my wife. I helped you spend it. After all, do not eat too much - you eat a lot of sweet foods," said Fahri.
"Why Mas? It must be because I'm sweet, right?" arumi said while smiling and propping up her chin.
"Fear later you have diabetes, it is old to eat it must be maintained," said Fahri who is still busy enjoying the ice cream without stopping.
Arumi clucked in annoyance at the words of her husband. The woman immediately took the glass of ice cream, keeping it away from Fahri.
"Stop eating this! They are old too. The face is wrinkled, the hair is also bleached," Arumi replied to her husband.
"But still handsome and charming, right?"
"Huh?! handsome from the mana," said Arumi as he poked his lips.
Their quarrel was stopped when the car started to enter the yard of the house. Arumi immediately moved from her seat to welcome her granddaughter. Same with Fahri. The two began to forget the ice cream that was their debate earlier.
"Grandma, Grandpa!" bima's exclamation immediately splashed into the arms of Arumi and Fahri.
"My dear granddaughter." Arumi immediately crouched down to welcome the embrace of Bima.
"Where's the virus?" ask Alvaro.
"There's inside" Arumi said.
Alvaro immediately walked into the house. The man circled his gaze around the house until he found Alvira who was arranging lunch for her husband in the kitchen.
"Varo" muttered Alvira when she realized her twin brother was coming.
"Have you done it?" ask Alvira who is still busy arranging food in the lunch box.
"Of course, even though it lowered my self-esteem a little bit" said Alvaro, taking one of Alvira's pieces of parchment and eating it.
Alvira smiled too. " Thank you."
"Hmmm ..," replied Alvaro who then took another piece of parchment, eating it while leaving his twin brother.
Flashbacks :
The night before, Alvira convinces Alvaro and asks her twin brother to help inject additional funds into the company led by her husband.
"All right, I'll help her just this time. If later, I find that the performance is bad, I do not hesitate to report it to mama and papa," said Alvaro.
"But I'm also asking you for help again" Alvira said.
Alvaro scoffed, "What is that?"
"Can you date Andre's secretary? If necessary tell my husband to fire him as a condition of giving the money," said Alvira.
"Why?"
"She was one of the reasons I kept delivering my husband lunch" Alvira said, which sounded ambiguous.
