GROWINGS

A big news, stomping across the country. It was not only the ordinary people who were made shocked by his decision. But the business actors were made dumbfounded.

They all knew, how an ordinary young man, started a business selling cakes from his small and simple house, which was, then grow and develop rapidly until finally have dozens of outlet branches scattered throughout the country.

And in just a few seconds, his decision to shut down his entire outlet - leaving only one outlet in Jakarta - was truly a shocking news story!

Who is not familiar with the delicious taste and rich taste of every choice and best pastries served by Nata Pattiserie?

With the number of employees who almost touched the number of a thousand people, Nata - with his decision, was very steady and would not be withdrawn.

Hundreds of employees in phk with the number of severance above average. In addition, Nata also did not forget to express his gratitude and apology to all employees.

There was neither sad nor anxious look on his face. His determination was unanimous to leave the country. He promised in his heart, not to return to Indonesia, until that day comes. The day that his heart and faith had said that he had to return to the country where he was born, great, to success as it is today.

Sandra as the closest and trusted person, could not do anything. All these decisions are in the hands of Nata.

Weeks changed months. And the moon changed years. Nata indeed only leaves one outlet Nata Pattiserienya in Indonesia. But actually he now has hundreds of other Nata Pattiserie outlets, which are spread almost all over the world.

His presence in the international world is very, very surprising. A lot of people are questioning who he is and what his background is.

Because the Nata Pattiserie business that is predicted, reportedly can be aligned with other major franchise companies such as McDonald's and KFC.

The taste of the cake is unique, strange, and delicious, it was able to be accepted by millions of tongues of the world's residents who come from various tribes and climates.

The year has changed again. Unexpectedly, Forbes Magazine confirmed his name in the ranks of fifty of the richest and most influential people in the world.

His name skyrocketed when he - managed to rank in the top ten as the richest man in the world the following year.

Nata Factory, is the largest candy and chocolate factory ever, which it established in the plains of China. With the establishment of this factory, his name is increasingly in the spotlight not only world-class business players. But also the leaders of the country who are racing each other to win his heart.

In the middle of the same year, Nata wrote something on his social media account. He said that he would set up a school, and a mega project that has not been clearly mentioned.

But the day turned, when he wrote, 'This is the right time for me, to return to my home country. Indonesia.', Everyone jerks instead of playing.

Because, really no one thought that it turns out Nata who can master some foreign languages, it turns out to come from Indonesia.

'Nata Institute, Nata Livingwood, Nata Hospital, is my ongoing project. Indonesia, I miss you so much..'

Sandra, who was enjoying boiled yams and bananas in the side yard, choked when Hassel told her of the surprise.

"It turns out Brother Nata secretly built this all, mami!! Brother Nata kept this a secret all by himself..!!"

Sandra gulps. His index finger keeps sliding the screen of his son's iPad. Paying attention to photo after photo is hard to believe.

Not yet exhausted the curiosity Sandra saw the photos, her phone vibrated. Incoming call from Nata number.

Clik.

'Tante same Hassel again what?'

"Nata..." Sandra's voice was a bit shaky.

'Auntie, soon there will be someone coming to pick you up. I'll explain everything here."

Sandra will answer, but Nata has decided on her phone.

Only half an hour later, the person Nata meant had already come to pick up. And even with four big box cars that stopped exactly on the narrow front street of his house.

"Mommy, where are we going?!"

"Mother Sandra, please.." A man in a black suit, invited Sandra, Hassel, and Mbok Sumirah to climb into the black alphard that had been specially provided by Nata."

"But my stuff.."

"My men will take care of it."

"Finally, Hassel can ride a nice car too.."

Sandra let her son chatter as he pleased. Because right now, there's only one person who fills the head. And that person is Nata.

Two hours of travel they took. Sandra read the green signpost installed in the middle of the highway.

Sentul..?

The luxury car now passes through a residential gate with the words Nata Livingwood in front of which are guarded by ten uniformed guards at once.

"Cool...!!"

Sandra threw her eyes out the window. His eyes only caught a row of large, densely-leaved high-acid trees. Just a few hundred meters ahead, another scene almost made his heart stop beating.

In the distance, he saw two skyscrapers that were still under construction. And not far from the building, already standing solid tall buildings that do not know how many levels of floors.

Not until there, Sandra also saw how the rows of houses of various sizes are lined up very neatly. Shady trees on the roadside, as well as iron chairs and trash cans, were placed almost every two hundred meters away.

Their car arrived at an unstoried house, but seemed to extend to the side. Nata was already standing in front of the house, welcoming them.

"Nata..." Only that line came out of Sandra's mouth.

Nata invites the three men to see their new home. The house was far from the impression of luxury, but it turned out that the contents of the furniture were very complete, and the warm aura and comfort immediately covered the three people.

"We're still in the room, aren't we?!" Ask Hassel.

Nata nodded. Then he showed Hassel his new room.

"Wohooo, this is so cool!!" Hassel exclaimed cheerfully. Especially when Nata opened the window of his room, which turned out to be directly facing the artificial lake.

"I ask to be quickened, for I will not be able to leave you in the old house for long."

Mbok Sumirah immediately took a broom and dirty rag. But Nata forbade it.

"Mbok rest. Let me get people to clean it up."

"It's okay, Den. The Mbok is still strong.."

"What if I make you a cold syrup?"

"Ohhh.., fine Den."

While waiting for the mbok to make him drink, Nata and Sandra get out of the house. Walk towards the edge of the artificial lake. It seems clear the craftsmen who are still busy here and there with their heavy equipment.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, auntie.."

"You must be afraid that Auntie might interfere.."

Nata shook his head while throwing a smile. "Auntie likes his house? Is there anything to remodel..?"

Sandra put her hand on Nata's arm. Then the two took a small walk along the edge of the lake.

"Tante thinks you don't want to come back here."

"Hmmm, that was it. But just thinking about it, there are three people I can't just leave."

"Nata..." Sandra leaned her head against Nata's arm. "After this, what else are you going to do...?"

Nata was silent for a moment. His eyes looked straight ahead. To a glass building across the lake, with the inscription 'Nata Institute', clearly displayed on the front.

"What I'm gonna do..." Nata breathed deeply. "Perhaps, I'm going to make the Nata Institute the best and greatest school the world has ever seen.."
