HANARIA the Woman of a Million Race
156. The Road to Villa
For the next few minutes, both of them were silent. Hanaria focused on the steering she was driving. Willy looked straight ahead. Suburban traffic is fairly quiet, there is not too much traffic that means, only occasionally Hanaria slow down the speed of the car he drives when other cars in front of him will turn in directions at a crossroads.
"Hana," Willy called slowly, he glanced at Hanaria who was focusing on driving.
"Yes, what's wrong?" sahut Hanaria, he turned for a moment towards Willy who was sitting next to him, then he refocused on the road ahead of him.
"Are you seriously going to work in a car company owned by Mrs Sundayana," asked Willy, still looking at Hanaria, a focused look on his wife's face.
"Yes, I'm serious" Hanaria said briefly.
"I heard, lady Sundayana bought the company. And by the time he bought it, the company was out of business, so he was trying to revive the company" Willy said. He turned his eyes to the road in front of him.
"I heard so, too" Hanaria said again briefly.
"Mrs Sundayana recruited you as an employee, what position did she trust you with Hana?" ask Willy.
"Marketing" said Hanaria.
"Manager marketing?" ask Willy.
"No, just regular marketing" Hanaria said honestly and spontaneously.
Willy turned his head, he looked at Hanaria's face that was focused on driving. "Only ordinary marketing?" willy asked to confirm his hearing, frowning as if he could not believe what he was hearing.
"Yes, just regular marketing" Hanaria said casually.
"Hana, aren't you wrong to take the job? I mean, why is your position in the new workplace lower than your old place of work" Willy said with a face turned serious, and still feeling astonished.
"For your expertise is also in the field of architects not in marketing," Willy glanced at Hanaria who drove his car at medium speed.
"It's hard Hana, it's not easy to raise a troubled company, especially if you don't have experience in marketing, yet" Willy said, trying to remind his wife.
"Yes, I know," Hanaria half-mumbled.
"Is everything you're doing just because of Firlita and the baby?" ask Willy to make sure.
"It was like that at first, but when I decided to take the job, I thought it was a challenge, and I wanted to try to hone my skills in marketing, develop myself in a field that was not my expertise," hanaria said with complete confidence.
Willy stared fixedly at Hanaria's face from the side, he felt anxious because the heavy burden would soon be borne by his wife.
"Alright, that means you have to be ready to accept all of Hana's consequences" Willy said at last. He pressed the car seat button to adjust his position so that he could more comfortably enjoy the trip.
"I want to take a nap, wake me up when you're tired" Willy said. Then he started closing his eyes.
Hanaria glanced at Willy who had closed his eyes, he increased the speed of his car while following the directions from his phone telling him to be straight, turn left, or turn right.
Inevitably, what Willy had told him became the fruit of the woman's mind. Previously, Hanaria had thought about it, even far before.
Hanaria sighed, she could feel what she would face when she entered work at the company of the lady Sunday, it was a very heavy thing for her.
He cannot back down, this concerns his principles, what he says must be in line with what he does, he muttered reassuring himself.
After a while, Hanaria pulled over the car she was driving slowly, when she saw a shop on the side of the road.
"Willy's up," call Hanaria. He opened the seatbelt that was wrapped around his body. But her husband did not answer, he was still asleep in his sleep.
"Willy woke up," Hanaria patted her husband's cheek. Willy blinked his eyes, he saw Hanaria who was lamenting.
"What's wrong?" ask Willy.
"We ate at the store first, I was hungry" Hanaria said.
Willy quickly removed his seatbelt and followed Hanaria out of the car to the store.
The shopkeeper smiled kindly to welcome Hanaria and Willy who stopped by.
"Eh, den Willy, long time no stop by" said the shop owner's mother when researching Willy's face.
"Two alone?" ask the mother of the tavern, when she saw no one but them.
"Yes ma'am" said Willy.
"Willy's boyfriend huh?" asked the tavern mother while glancing at Hanaria with her smile
"Not ma'am, she's my wife" Willy said without further ado.
The shop mother immediately looked up to hear Willy's confession, "well, his wife yes den, I was immediately so heartbroken huh," joked the tavern mother then chuckled.
"Mommy is just there" said Willy, laughing at the joke of the shop owner who knew him so well.
"What do you want to eat? Try to order from the shop mama" Willy told Hanaria.
"There's a river fish?" asked Hanaria who did not see the fish menu.
"No non, only chicken, hard to find river fish in the area here non," said the mother of the owner of the tavern.
"What do you want to eat?" hanaria asked Willy who was standing next to her.
"Chicken just burn," said Willy when he saw the mother of the owner of the tavern was burning chicken.
"Burning two, ma'am, all vegetables" said Hanaria.
"Good non. What's the drink non?" ask the shop again.
"Two bottles of mineral water only ma'am" Hanaria said.
"Well, wait a while yes non," said the mother of the tavern, while continuing her work.
Hanaria then headed towards the table where Willy had sat first while staring at the verdant valley around the tavern.
"You're passing through here a lot?" asked Hanaria who had been sitting in front of Willy.
"Often. Daddy often took us on vacation to the Villa as well as working visits to the daddy business around the Villa" said Willy.
"Is the villa still far away?" ask Hanaria.
"Why? You feeling tired?" Willy asked back.
"No, I just want to know." said Hanaria looking at Willy.
"About an hour later we'll be here" Willy said, glancing at the watch in his left hand.
"Then, it's still a long way from my hamlet compared to the Villa we're going to?" ask Hanaria.
"Yes, that's how it is" Willy said.
"Excuse me non, aden, the order is ready," the mother of the shop owner approached them. He then presented what he had brought to the table.
"Please eat non-food, aden," said the shop owner's mother was friendly.
"Thank you ma'am" Hanaria and Willy said almost simultaneously.
Hanaria stared for a moment at the menu in front of her, she picked up the grilled chicken on her plate and bit her a little.
"Hows it? Yummy?" willy asked, as he watched Hanaria chew her grilled chicken.
"Enak" said Hanaria. He took the roasted chicken again, and chocolated it on a tempting-looking sambel, then put it in his mouth.
"What's delicious?" asked Willy again looking at the face of Hanaria who seemed to be enjoying her chewing. He knew that Hanaria did not like chicken because she was used to eating fish.
"Very, very tasty, maybe when my stomach is hungry like this" Hanaria said, he devoured the roasted chicken and his default in front of him.
