"You're still in contact with Harvey's mom?" Mr. Bram, Papa Harvey and also Kendra, asked while glancing at Maura who was sitting in front of him without raising his head from the file he was signing.
"Still, Om. Auntie asked me to come again to visit Harvey even though it was just between meals," said Maura.
"Then you want to?" Mr. Bram raised his head and looked at Maura with a faint smile.
"Mmc ... Just once. Sorry Om, instead I refused because of Harvey's current condition. Nor do I intend to forget all of Harvey's kindness and leave him in his current difficult situation. Just ... I don't want Harvey to be so dependent on me and to put on a hope that I obviously can't give." Maura bowed in. He is worried that his words could overturn Papa Harvey's plans to hire him as an intern at his office.
"You don't have to feel guilty like that. I understand, after all, your relationship was already over long before this incident. As I said yesterday, if you were my son, I wouldn't allow you to get close to Harvey either" Mr. Bram said, handing over a piece of paper he had just signed, "Here you take to the personnel section, later they direct you to where."
"Thank you, Om." Maura looked at the task paper with a big smile.
"Eh, Maura. Please don't let Aunt know you work here huh," Papa Harvey said before he walked out of the room.
Maura walked slowly towards the personnel room. His eyes swept through all the rooms he passed. The hope is very great to meet the figure he is heading to in this building. But until the afternoon he finished work, form Kendra never met him.
"Kendra actually works here or another Pak Bram company huh? Cook did I ask Mr Bram about Kendra?' Maura massaged her sore nape because she had been down all day to draw a house interior design.
Meanwhile, Mr. Bram began to launch his action to bring Kendra home. Various photos of Maura from all sides working in her office, sent without any message to Kendra's phone.
His second son was driving when he received a message from his father. As soon as he opened the first photo, he immediately marginalized his car to the side of the road. The second and subsequent photos made him opiate and even more curious. Long time no see and see Maura, it does not make his love recede. Even the longing is getting worse.
He was getting more anxious while waiting for the next message that his father never sent. His papa just sent a few photos without explanation, as if to provoke his reaction. Who is strong to endure?
Kendra turned the wheel and launched quickly to the apartment she was staying in with her mother.
"Home home? Not so dinner with Victoria?" ask Mama.
"There's no dinner plans, Ma. I just delivered it to buy flowers" Kendra replied.
Victoria, the girl called Mama is the daughter of the heiress of a big restaurant where she is the head chef. The girl of Indonesian and Dutch descent, fell in love with him and wanted to always be close to him.
"That means she wants you to buy her flowers" said Mama. Kendra laughed as she shook her head, "She is beautiful, friendly, likes you when you see. Less what try?"
"Less in love" said Kendra straightforwardly.
"Hmm, selling expensive. Later if you have been left sorry, find where such a beautiful girl who wants to be with you here," said Mama seduces.
Kendra's smile shrank, she remembered Maura as she left without a message first. Is the girl looking for him? Or not even realize it because he is nothing in Maura's life.
"Hey, even daydreaming. Already conscious now? Let's go back before we regret."
Kendra's smile came when her mother said the sentence to tease her. He knew the girl his mother meant was Victoria, but the one he saw was Maura.
"Ma, Papa did you call Mama today?" ask Kendra to pretend indifferently.
"Tumben asked your father." Mama glanced suspiciously.
"Papa every day call Mama," said Mama briefly.
"Chat what?" chase Kendra's gauntlet.
"Well, ask for health, news. Ask you too."
"What did mama say?"
"Mama said what it is. If you work well here. It is believed to be the head chef of a famous restaurant and will be the owner of the restaurant as well," said Mama accompanied by amused laughter.
"Then Papa said what?"
"Papa didn't say anything, just ow, that's it. Papa also said that you also like, yes continue. Why, did you ask Papa to come here to propose to Victoria?"
"Eh, why go that way anyway?!" Kendra looked quickly.
"When you like it, what are you waiting for? Dating can be a sin."
"Who said Victoria and I were dating? He and I have nothing to do but superiors and subordinates" Kendra said.
"Why are you asking me about Papa?"
"My dear Mama, I never asked about Papa's news said no matter, once I asked about Papa, Mama asked back." Kendra hugged her Mom.
"Mama just wants you to have a good partner and have a family, afraid you fall into a relationship that is not right here."
"Mama take it easy. I must have married the woman I chose myself, pray for ya." Kendra kissed Mama's cheek and then darted into the room.
He was increasingly curious about the purpose of his Papa sending a photo of Maura. Arriving in the room, he saw another incoming message on his phone. There is still no message from her father. Kendra clasped her phone tightly. He was trying to tear down his ego to contact his Papa first.
"Okay Papa, you won." Kendra started typing reply messages on her phone.
'Who is this?.' Two safe words were chosen. Not impressed too passionate, but enough to provoke the next conversation.
Mr. Bram across the sea there raised two corners of his lips reading the incoming message from his son. It is very clear, if Kendra is interested in the photos she sent. His son almost never contacted him first or simply replied to his message. Everything Kendra wants to tell her, always through her mother.
'Who do you think? do you know him, because he says he knows you very well,'
'Like Maura, my friend from college. Where did you meet him?'
Although only in the form of writing, Papa's name for him makes Mr. Bram's heart vibrate violently. Her tears suddenly piled up. His determination grew stronger to bring his youngest son back to the homeland.
'He's interning at Papa's office. When do you come home, Papa needs you here.' Kendra read her Papa's message.
