Jakarta - Tokyo Love Story
49. Former Story of ASPRI

Shanty was pacing back and forth while listening to his mother's explanation. Kalula heard his voice faintly from the living room sofa.

Kalula was so anxious. If he gets rejected at the boarding house, where will he stay tonight? At Roby's boarding house? Aghhh!

Kalula shifted her anxiety by staring at the suitcase. Not suitcase. The suitcase is medium size. All he saw was Shanty's big suitcase.

Kalula doesn't know that it belongs to Shanty yet. Since yesterday, the suitcase has been sitting here. She had not been able to clean up to her room again because she was too weak by the bouts of nausea in the first trimester of her pregnancy.

Shanty who initially moved with her husband after marriage chose to return to his mother's house who lived alone because of a mutual decision.

Yes, after deciding to resign and focus on her pregnancy, Shanty even got another surprise. Her husband had to be out of town for a few months.

The problem outside the city in question is whether the area is a bit inland, where access to hospitals and others is quite far and difficult. So her husband advised her to go back to her mother's house so as not to be alone and have friends. He can go home a few months later during the task.

During pregnancy, it is calmer if accompanied by your own mother. Shanty's husband will be calmer leaving his wife. So that's the decision they made.

After getting tired of staring at the suitcase, Kalula finally glanced towards a map that read "Gantara Group."

The map contained the resign documents Shanty had brought from the office. What Kalula did not know Gantara Group was the name of the Edward family company now managed by his mother.

His name is 'Gantara.' Taken from the name 'Megantara' which is Edward's last name.

Edward Antono Megantara's...

After a few minutes of waiting, Shanty finally showed up. His mouth was already half-open about to speak, but he immediately closed his mouth and ran backwards again.

Yeah, he's nauseous again.

Kalula and Roby looked at each other again.

"It looks like she's pregnant, Kal. My sister was also pregnant with my niece." Roby.

"Emang yes? Maybe he'll be sick again, Rob. Poor to pale. Even more confused I am. So what was the decision, yes. Can I go straight to the back of this house? If I can't, where should Rob be?" Kalula whispered a little.

Shanty's nauseous voice sounded faintly.

"In my place if I had to. I will stay at my friend's place, next to my room. Could anyway. Just have to huddle because my place is a special boarding house for the son." Roby tries to appease Kalula when he himself is not sure he can escape smuggling a girl into his boarding house.

Kalula tried to think positively with hope. Until finally Shanty appeared again and apologized for that instead of running straight to the back.

"Mak Shanty is sick? No papa, right?" Kalula who was feeling high empathy asked anxiously.

Shanty just smiled and shook his head.

"Silent. I'm not papa. Just normal pregnant nausea, really," he replied.

Then Kalula and Roby looked at each other again and the company said "Oh."

"So, Kal. The key is to Mom. It was prepared because you thought it was afternoon. Well, since Mama hastily left, the key is laughing in her bag. You were so nervous when you heard the news from your brother.

Well, because it's night, if you want to go here. Waiting for Mama to come home. The duplicate key because it also forgets where it was placed. Understandably, Mama is old, rather forgetful.

Shanty explained calmly and solutively.

Kalula looked at Roby who shrugged, as if to say, "As far as you are, Kal."

"OK, Mommy. No papa. I want Mama. So I'm here a while? What's the pay, Ma'am?" Kalula. His hand was already fingering the bag to take the borrowed money from Roby.

"Oh, tomorrow it's with Mama. You only need your ID card for security and security. This is your brother going home, right? Just a nganter, right?" Shanty looked at Roby.

"Eh, i-yes, Ma'am. I came home with this. Then I go home, Mom. Titip my brother." Roby raised next to his eyebrows and smiled towards Kalula.

Kalula nodded and stood up when Roby said goodbye. Oh, I want her to thank Roby again. But if he says here afraid of this fake sister brother's charade is exposed in front of Shanty.

After Roby leaves and Shanty returns after locking back the gate of the house, Kalula is directed to a room near the stairs.

Shanty said this room used to be occupied by his cousin who from out of town. 5 years he lived here because the campus is near here. But now he had graduated and returned to his city.

"Mama was lonely after Lona returned to her town. Especially when I got married. I am confused as to how. I feel sorry for Mama, but my husband wants me to stay at his house."

While helping Kalula change the sheets and pillowcases, Shanty told a lot. He also told me why he moved here again. She explained about her husband's duty out of town and whatnot.

Now Kalula just understood why there was a big suitcase in the living room earlier. Turns out Shanty's property just moved here yesterday afternoon again.

"I was working, Kal. So the personal assistant madam entrepreneur. His people are so nice. Yeah the effect is a bit harsh, anyway. But the original is good. Five years I worked with him. He's the one with Gantara Group. Many business. Gym, salon, department store, restaurant, cafe. Cafe near sin...,"

"Geek!"

Not yet had time to continue his words Shanty had run to the back again because of being attacked by nausea.

Though he almost said about the cafe where Kalula works. If the story was complete, Kalula would have been aware. Oh, Shanty's former boss is Edward's mother.

But it turns out that Shanty's words were cut off.

Kalula finished his work quickly and approached Shanty who was standing while holding his stomach.

After being noticed from close, it looks a bit bloated his stomach. Although not very clear yet. Her name is young pregnant.

"Oh, sorry, Kal. I still keep nausea. Oh yeah, the bathroom's over there. You can wear it. If you are hungry or thirsty in the refrigerator, there is also food. Take it don't hesitate." Shanty explained very kindly before passing away going into his room.

Kalula nodded in thanks. Oh, lucky tonight he's not a bum out there. Roby's help, borrowed money, allowed to stay for a while, was welcomed and kind as well. He felt overwhelmed.

Kalula decided to wash his face and not take a shower. It's been too late. He's afraid of pain.

Kalula walked towards the sofa again to pick up her suitcase and bag to take to the room. When passing the table where there is a map with the logo "Gantara Group," he apparently still did not realize as well.

Ah, though his destiny intersects so closely with that logo.

Just wait for the time until the fate line meets. The universe is always on time to set everything up.
