Jatukarmas
Chapter 54

"I'm serious !" good Word Saksena. "It seems like I'm fit to be by your side a lot. My heart feels good."

"It makes no difference to you then and now. Always fighting at me ." The image constantly laughed amusedly.

"Tuh, right. You are also happy beside me. You laughed ."

"That's because you're also being ridiculous !" the Citra Kartika.

"Yes, yeah ! What matters is the princess is happy !"

DEG !

The heart of Citra Kartika suddenly rumbled. Those old memories just flashed by when Bagus Saksena called her the princess.

He looked at that handsome face. That face is no different from Raden Bagus Saksena. Even their names are the same. But why is the face of Citra Kartika different from Galuh Citrawani?

"Partner?"

Nice call Saksena resuscitated him.

"Hm?"

"Your dumb turn is staring at me. My face makes your world sidetracked?"

"Yes. Your face is no different than it used to be. Just, you used to be a playboy. Now then? Who knows."

"Now I'm a good man, the ideal husband-to-be ."

"All right, I believe!" kekeh Citra Kartika's.

"So, when do you want to marry me?" chase Good Saksena.

"Huh? Why should I?"

"Are you not a single woman?"

" I'm a single woman. But I don't want to marry you, do I?"

"Hemmm.Why does it seem like I've heard you say this the same way I do. Is this dejavu again?" said Bagus Saksena half pensive.

" I've rejected you a lot in the past." The image of Kartika is funny.

"Huh? Seriously?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"But why did you reject me, Citra? Am I less handsome?"

"You were one of the prettiest guys of the time, Good !" Even at this time you are among the most handsome, the inner Citra Kartika.

"But unfortunately, you used to be too naughty. Even tend to be evil. Ah, long story. Come on, eat first, the food has come."

They eat food slowly. Secretly Citra Kartika wonder, why he so easy to tell Bagus Saksena. Even to his father and brother, he never revealed the secret of his past experiences.

When they left the restaurant to return to the office, Citra Kartika touched Bagus Saksena's wrist at a glance .

"Good Saksena, please keep this story of my past from anyone. Actually, I never told anyone about this. For some reason, today I leaked to you !"

Nice Saksena stared at Citra Kartika for a moment. Then he smiled.

"alright. I promise ."

.....

Mr. Soni had been waiting at the office when Bagus Saksena and Citra Kartika returned from the restaurant. The old man looked at Citra in surprise.

"Good day, Mr. Soni !" The image greeted Bagus Saksena's father politely.

"Good afternoon. Isn't this Citra, the beautiful daughter of Mr. Pras, huh?"

"Really, Sir. I'm representing Dad for a meeting with Prawira LTD."

"Oh so. How's your dad doing?"

"Dad was still busy with state affairs. Understandably, it's been months of conferences, sir ."

"Hopefully you will be in Jakarta. Mr. Pras said his daughter was the hardest to live in Jakarta. In a cold city, he said yes."

"Ohya? My dad said that?" Citra Kartika amazed. He did not expect his father would talk about him with his business partner.

"Your father is very proud of you, son. He used to tell me about you, his best friend. We have been friends since the school days. Our relationship is not just a business."

"Oh." The lips of the image were rounded, with a stunned face.

This is a new understanding for him.

It's not about his father being friendly with Pak Pradetya. But his father's concern and pride for him, which he never knew at all.

In his eyes, his father had always been proud of Heru and Harris, his son.

Quietly, Citra Kartika felt like she wanted to throw into her father's arms and apologize.

"Kok I didn't know this before, did Pa?" Nice Saksena interjected. "I'm sorry, why have never heard the name Citra Kartika before."

Nice Saksena furrowed her brows a sign of protest.

"No, Pa. I was too busy at school and work. There's no time for anything else."

"But there is time to take care of that sort of initial M." his papa quipped .

"Now I'm going to repent, Pa. Don't mention my sin anymore" protested Bagus Saksena.

"You've been protesting a lot. Tuh see Citra, said her father she is a very strong and independent girl, never spoiled. Never protested ! " praise Mr. Soni.

"Partner is a great girl, Pa. "Good Saksena followed with praise.

"I am so ashamed" Citra Kartika said. "I'm not that good . Ohya, there will still be another meeting at three o'clock. Together Good, Mr. Soni and Mr. Alan. Then excuse me for going to the ladies' room first."

When Citra Kartika moved away, Mr. Soni hit his son's arm slowly.

"Don't waste the opportunity Om Pras gave you, Gus ! She was the only daughter of her father, and is now entrusted to you to approach. Pepet him !"

"Huh, it turns out that Papa and Om Pras are playing behind !" grunts Nice Saksena. "But I don't want to, Pa !"

"Aren't you willing to refuse?" ketus papa .

"That's how !" answer Good Sakena while grinning.

"Oh yes, Papa was just pretending to be surprised when he saw Citra? Papa and Om Pras planned all this?" accuse Good Saksena.

"That's how !" Mr. Soni mimicked Bagus Saksena's reply.

They laugh together.

"Papa asks this time you go after the right girl, Gus. Remember, the feeling of parents is mostly right. After all, your Mama and Papa just want what's best for you. You know, right?"

"Yes, Pa. I understand. This time I will obey Papa's request. Not because I'm a submissive child, Pa ." Nice Saksena grinning again .

"But because he does fit my taste."

"Castes? To get a good mother-to-be for a prospective successor to Prawira LTd, it is not enough just to rely on taste, Bagus Saksena ! You must also see the seedlings, bebet, the weights, so as not to repeat your same mistakes ! Fortunately, the daughter of Om Pras-mu is besides beautiful, also smart, good, independent. That's why you have to ...."

"God, Pa. Reconcilers. Talk later at home !"

"Yes, if you want to go home ! Your mom has been protesting, you never want to go home. "

The warm conversation between father and son that happened inside the office room Bagus Saksrna was stopped when Adit entered the room.

"Sir Boss, the meeting participants have entered the meeting room," he reported politely, because there was Mr. Soni.

"Okey, you ready my files on the desk, Dit. I followed her again ."

"Ready, Mr Boss !"

Grateful to be free from his father's scolding, Bagus Saksena invited Mr. Soni to walk together to the meeting room.

..........

Three hours later, when the meeting was over. Mr. Soni approached Citra Kartika who was still accompanied by the manager of his father's office.

"Son Citra still lives in her hotel Om, tha? How's the staff service there?"

"Perfect Mr. Soni. Everything is the best !"

"But not to be bothered with other hotel guests?"

"Not really, sir. I slept and took a shower at the hotel. The rest is working."

A polite sweet smile rose on Citra's face, detected by Bagus Saksena who immediately flew closer like a beetle interested in flower honey.

"I'm only here about twice a week, sir. After the E-Lite deal project, I went back to Malang."

"So Om spoke on the phone with your dad. Later after this project deal, which will be the representative of PT Kharisma is likely to be you, son Citra. If so, it means that nak Citra should move to a more comfortable and private residence. For example, apartments. It just so happens that your father has an apartment close to here."

"Yes, Sir. I was so easy, "again the sweet smile appeared.

"The thing is, I haven't decided yet. Whether I can stay here for a long time, or return to Malang. "

"Hopefully Citra decided to stay here" Mr. Soni smiled . Before leaving, he shook Citra's hand and gently patted her on the shoulder of his best friend's son.

"May you stay in Jakarta, Citra!" Nice Saksena whispered when they lived together .

"If not disturbed you, I would be at home" Citra Kartika replied.

"Did I like to bother you?"

"Don't like it anymore, but it's become a bad habit. Richly, if you don't bother me, your life doesn't feel complete .."

"Then I'm sorry, Citra ! Even though I don't know what happened just yet, I ask that you don't hate the current Good Saksena. "

"From a long time ago I forgave Bagus Saksena. " Now that sweet and sincere smile is growing again .

Very excited about that guy. His heart seemed to expand, flowery to see this angel's smile.
