HAPPIER
CHAPTER 28

Until now Bery and I no longer meet after last night through a long chat. Today I had a challenge from my future father-in-law, of course Bery did not know because Bery's father contacted me through his confidant.

The business in the KUA is just an alibi, bery's father with all connections does not take long and does not need to bother to come to the office but certainly all affairs can be resolved quickly and will be ready when the ijab kabul event later lasted.

Right now, I'm being taken around Bery's father's frozen food manufacturing plant, which is pretty big, especially in the chiller room. The processing uses many machines, but still employs hundreds of human labor. Not to mention the pond area which covers hundreds of hectares and also auction sites for residents who sell their own ponds and from the catch of fishermen.

Various sausages, fish sticks and meatballs whose main ingredients are from milkfish, tuna, squid, crab and shrimp are produced here. In addition to meeting local market demand, the production of this factory also penetrates the national market and export markets abroad.

"It's so cool, Mr. Ardan." My words showed my admiration after seeing the production room in this factory. If usually I just used to see it on the National Geographic Channel which theme food factory, now I've been in one of the largest frozen food processing plants in Indonesia.

Mr. Ardan, the man I'm guessing is three-headed right now is Bery's father's confidant for the past 5 years. At least that's what I caught after Mr. Ardan explained the ins and outs of the business and talked about him.

"Yes, Sky. I was also very impressed when I started working here. I didn't expect a factory this big and cool to be on a remote beach like this. In the hands of Wahyu sir and Amelia's mother, the company has grown rapidly in just the last 10 years. It's just, their success caused a lot of envy on the part of his own family." Mr. Ardan explained.

According to Mr. Ardan, the company is currently experiencing problems due to the actions of competitors where they are suing the patent production of sausage and milk meatballs owned by Bery's father.

Bery's father was very shocked to know this because the competitor was his cousin's sister where his cousin's brother he recruited as his right hand since the beginning of establishing the company. Apparently, Bery's father's cousin secretly founded the same company and claimed Bery's father's brand of sausage as his own.

That's why Bery's father had a heart attack because he still could not accept the betrayal committed by his cousin's sister. Luckily Bery's father was quickly helped and the pain was not too severe.

As a prospective daughter-in-law, I was immediately given a secret mission to handle the company as long as Bery's father has not been cured, considering Anzi has only entered 1st grade High School at this time so it is unlikely that this responsibility will be handed to him.

"Because it's Sky, you leave the trust to the mas through me, so that the mas are willing to intervene to help whatever you can do, mas, so that the company is not disrupted its production process during the legal process also takes place. Mr. Wahyu was so confident that Sky was able to do it and might be able to innovate so that this company can develop further in the future." Back Mr. Ardan conveys Bery's father's wishes.

I took a deep breath, I have absolutely no experience in this field, but there is no harm in me accepting this challenge. There's Mr. Ardan who will always be ready to guide me while I'm here. I'm thinking about keeping up with the development of the patent dispute case. Perhaps my knowledge in the field of law will be more useful here, although I have not completed my studies in Law, but just like my studies in Engineering, soon will also be run.

I once read a quote from Charles Bukowski, saying that the biggest problem in the world is intelligent people who are full of doubts, while fools appear so confident. So look at the results, every day we are treated to an unqualified spectacle of people who have more words coming out of their mouths than works born from their brains.

While intelligent people are only busy in academic pulpits, working in silence so that their works are not visible, glimpsed are not.

"Yes, Mr. Ardan, please guide him." I'm polite.

Mr. Ardan nodded with a big smile on his face.

"Oh well, we go to the last part of the process well mas, the packaging part. We have been to the raw material supply, production site, and freezing. There we'll also see kids distributing our products as per costumers' orders." Said Mr. Ardan after a quick glance at the watch in his hand.

I came to see the watch on my left hand, there was still about 30 minutes to enter the dhuhur. The plan after this we will go directly to the airport to pick up abi and umi because incidentally the path to the Airport is in line with the Hospital.

*****

"Wa'alaikum salutations." Umi and abi answer simultaneously. There was another stare that felt different from Umi, but I tried to act ordinary. I don't want to ruin the atmosphere, I'm grateful that I came, that means he bless us.

Kak Nindi and mas Fachri appeared later at the arrival door with several large travel bags. Mr. Ardan and I immediately helped the two carry the suitcase into the trunk of the car.

"Kok you pick up the deck? Not ready?" Ask Mr. Nindi after the car started driving away from the airport.

"There's business, so all of you." I replied without looking back, I glanced at Nindi through the front rearview mirror.

"You're Sky, how do you want to get married like this? Are you serious or not? Remember well Sky, when you have said YES to people, make sure you do not say NO to yourself." Umi slightly emphasized her words insinuating me.

"I'm serious umi, I've never been this serious before. Sky beg your blessing." I said after looking back staring fixedly at Umi.

"Umi is happy if you are serious, Umi will be very disappointed if the decision you take is just kidding or because there are certain goals so you want to marry Bery."

I shook my head, I don't know what Umi thought so she still seemed hesitant.

"Well us umi." I said again begging for his services.

"Umi always prays for you, prays for all of you. Umi Ridho if this is your decision." Tukas.

"Sky, we as parents can only support every step you take, as long as it's good, we will support. You know if Bery already we think like his own child, so abi hope you will continue to try to be happy for him. Abi was actually shocked when your brother delivered this news, there is no wind there is no rain suddenly you want to get married. You who we know have never been in a close relationship with any woman even tend to stay away from them now even intend to bind a woman. You have to know Sky, getting married means you have to be ready with all the behavior that sometimes makes us as men have to hold our breath -" abi paused his sentence by glancing at umi for a few seconds.

While Mr. Ardan beside me seemed to have a stifled smile, I saw in the front view of Fachri also holding a smile while looking at his wife.

"Women love complicated, long and complicated things. They are genius historians, so watch your every word and every action, not to offend him." Abi glanced back at umi.

"Son Ardan is married yet?" Ask abi then.

"Alhamdulillah, sir. Already have 3 tails instead, sir!" Replied Mr. Ardan with a widened smile.

"Alhamdulillah.because the men here are all married, and you, Sky.At some time will be officially a husband, abi advised you one thing. You must know that all women on this earth have shortcomings, including your wife, or any woman, must have shortcomings, none of which are absolutely perfect in accordance with your expectations. The difference is, when you are married, then you already know all the shortcomings of your wife, but you certainly do not know the lack of other women, so that sometimes other women become perfect in your eyes and better than your wife. Remember, you also have many shortcomings but your wife has sincerely accepted them. While other women do not necessarily accept it. Therefore never try to find the haram, the halal is much more beautiful, and it is in your house. Then return to your house when the haram comes to tempt you."

Oh, I'm not that petty. How could I demand my wife be perfect, while myself be stumped with flaws...
