JI 2 - The Love of a Mother

The last few days Leon has been very busy. He is struggling to get his company back. He doesn't just give up. Getting to this point is not easy. So he won't let anyone rob him.

For the employee's salary, Leon paid him out of debt. Yeah, he's back in touch at the bank.

Leon who felt increasingly frustrated, finally decided to confide in his parents. Leon's father also owns shares in the company. So it's natural that he knew.

Once knowing the condition of his son is not okay, Mutiara immediately returned to Indonesia and helped his son find a famous lawyer. So now in total Leon has two lawyers.

The pearls came home alone. Her husband, who works as an ambassador, has a job. So that they cannot come back to Indonesia.

"Arini knows?" The pearl sat in front of Leon's desk looking at his son. Leon is his only child. Although Leon's attitude sometimes sucks, but as a mother, Pearl loved this child very much.

Leon developed his frustrated breath. He shook weakly. "Yet, Ma. I can't bear to tell Arini. He'll be very worried."

"So now you have two debts? To buy a house and pay the employee?" Pearl asked. He knew the fact from Leon, but for clarity, he asked again.

Leon nodded softly. "Yes, Ma" he answered slowly. He's confused now not playing. What will he have to pay for it?

"Let Mama help. Mama still has savings." Pearl uzzling. As a mother, she saw her son in distress. As long as he can, he will help him.

"Don't, Ma. Mom's money is used for retirement. Leon can still pay, really." Leon refused subtly. She did not want to trouble her mother.

"You sure?"

"Related, Ma." Leon answered very confidently. She should not look doubtful in front of her mother.

"Yes already. If there's anything else, tell Mama and Papa" said Mutiara. "Please order some food, huh? It's noon, it's lunch time." Without waiting for an answer from the child, Mutiara directly ordered food through the application online.

"What do you want to eat?" Pearl asked while looking at the menu.

"Serah Mama's. Leon is the same as Mama" Leon replied while typing on a computer keyboard. He is replying to an email for cooperation from a prospective client.

The choice of Pearls falls on Sate Maranggi. He hadn't eaten that for a long time. Sate Maranggi used to be her favorite food. But since living abroad, he has rarely consumed it. Because there's no one selling Sate Maranggi. When it comes to cooking yourself, pearls are not that smart. He tried and the results were not as good as what he bought.

The food they ordered came. The two then had lunch together. The pearl has just arrived in Indonesia. He hasn't even come to his house. As soon as he reached the airport, he headed straight for Leon's office.

"Mama's tired, right? Leon's coming home, huh?" Leon offered himself up after they finished eating. "Mama rest at home only," he continued.

"Well, why did you buy a new house. You should have stayed in our old house. Sweetheart than empty, even later in the demon's habitation." Pearls divert the conversation when they think of something. Leon should not have to buy a new house, anyway their house is quite spacious. It's a little bigger than Leon's new house.

"Leon just wants to be independent, Ma. Want to have your own home," replied Leon while advancing his chair to make it more comfortable.

The pearls exhale heavily. He was concerned about the fate of his son. The company was founded by three people. Leon, Malvin and Reza. Reza is Malvin's best friend. Pearl did not think that her husband's best friend was cheating.

"Mama's home, huh? Mama must be tired" Leon said again.

Leon also hurried to get up from sitting. He lifted his mother's suitcase while walking first.

"But Arini's not home, Ma. He's working again" Leon said as they were already in the car.

"It's okay. Later if he comes home to be a surprise," said Mutiara while putting a seat belt.

Pearl has never been to Arini and Leon's new home. But he has visited his son's house several times.

After driving for about thirty minutes, they reached their destination.

"Papa's coming home..." Jasmine ran over to Leon with an apple.

"Greetings to Oma!" Leon tells Jasmine to be in love with Pearls. Although Leon knows his mother doesn't like Jasmine, Jasmine must still respect her grandmother.

Fearfully Jasmine approached Pearl and endured it. Although Pearl did not like Jasmine, but she did not show it frontally.

"Wulan, please clean the empty room above, yes! Oma Tiara wants to stay here." Leon ordered.

"Good, sir." Wulan immediately picked up the Pearl suitcase and brought it to the room upstairs.

The house is equipped with five rooms. Two rooms are empty. One is upstairs, and one is downstairs.

The rooms downstairs are reserved for distant guests. As for the close guest like the biological parent living in the upstairs room.

"Yusuf, where?" ask Pearl when she doesn't see her favorite grandchild.

"In the room, Oma. Read the same story by Bude Ani. Take a nap." Jasmine answered. Jasmine who was afraid of the Pearls, hugged Leon's legs tightly. To Jasmine, the aura of a Pearl was as terrifying as Sinta.

"Jasmine didn't take a nap?" Leon held Jasmine and kissed her son's cheek.

Jasmin. "No sleepiness, Pa," replied Jasmine.

"Mom's going to the toilet first. Want a CHAPTER" said Pearl. He rushed to the toilet near the kitchen.

"Jasmine learned what?" Leon asked as the Pearl had passed.

"Learn the alphabet" replied Jasmine. "Jasmine can already read the alphabet, you know, Pa." Jasmine showed off her silence. Jasmine is smart. Just taught once, he can instantly.

"Smart kid," praised Leon. He sat Jasmine on the long sofa. "Later Oma Tiara will stay here. Jasmine don't be naughty, huh?"

Jasmine nodded. "Jasmine is never naughty, really."

Leon rubbed the top of Jasmine's head fondly. In six months, Jasmine is five years old. Looks like Jasmine can already enter SD next year. But even if it is allowed by the school. Students today should not be too young. That's the rules that exist.
