''Ray, guard the house! There was a visit to a new project out of town" said Om breaking the silence of breakfast that morning.
''Ok, Om. How many days?"
''If the business is smooth about one week. We don't know what will happen. It could be more than that" explained the Om.
''So half a widower, yes, Om. A little out of town, a little abroad. Why don't you get married again?" chirp Rayyan lightly.
Si Om stared straight at him. He did not like the words that came out of his nephew's mouth. For him, no one can replace his wife with any woman.
Rayyan who got such a gaze could only fold deeply into her mouth. Aware of his mistake, he immediately apologizes to the man who had taken care of him after the departure of his parents as a result of a plane crash.
''Sorry, Om. This mouth does like khilaf," said Rayyan accompanied by his trademark grin.
Si Om did not respond, he continued eating quietly. That is, the man when angry. Silent and silent with his cold face, not explosive like a man in general. He was a cold-armed man. If anyone tried to offend him, he would instantly act without saying much.
''Take care of yourself, Om. Do not be too tired, however, Om's health is more important than anything. Let Om meet Om's son and wife someday."
The middle-aged man only smiled knots, his nephew was quite considerate although sometimes his attitude was quite annoying.
''Oh, yeah, when's the departure, Om?"
''Later after lunch" he replied briefly.
Rayyan nodded. "I want to say goodbye too. I was invited to be a speaker of the campus seminar in Rain City. Just one day, it's gone straight home."
''When do you leave?"
''This morning."
''Yes, yes, be careful. Only use private vehicles, no need to use public transportation. Why have a car if it is never used" the man said.
"Ready, Boss."

Maura stared at the towering majestic building before her. He had high hopes for his efforts this time. With steady steps, he entered the lobby after getting permission from the security.
''Excuse me, Ma'am." Maura greeted a receptionist standing guard there.
''Yes, there is something I can help you with" replied the blazer-women who tagged Shofia.
''Can I meet Mr Bramasta Haidar?"
The woman frowned confusedly, scanning the appearance of the woman in front of her from top to bottom. Why is this woman looking for the owner of this company, he thought.
Even so, Shofia still displayed her friendly smile because it was one of the company rules. Always be friendly and courteous to every guest who comes.
''Did she make an appointment with him?" ask him politely.
''Betul, Miss."
Maura stared for a moment, thinking about how to meet the person in question.
''Look, Mbak. I'm a distant brother of Mr. Asta. I didn't have time to make an appointment, because I just found a new address. It's just an office address."
''Tell you what, I'm handing over my identification, but please let me meet him." Maura forced by thrusting her identification mark that she had taken.
''Sorry, Ma'am. Can't do. I just follow the company's procedures," the woman replied still with her modesty.
Maura continued to force the receptionist to be allowed to meet her father right now. Because if he had to make an appointment first, he was not sure he could keep it. Given his schedule over the next few days was quite solid.
''What is this?" A man about fifty years old approached the commotion in the lobby.
''This sir, this Miss is forcing her to meet Mr. Bram," Shofia replied in a frightened tone.
''You who?'' The man asked Maura.
''I am Maura, Sir. There is something very important to tell Mr. Asta. I beg you, Sir. Let me see him." Maura begged by cupping her hands in front of her chest.
''Miss ready, Boss?'' The man stared intensely at the woman in front of him.
He must always be vigilant, it could be that this woman is just an intruder smuggled by the enemy who wants to take over this company.
''I'm a distant brother, sir."
''You're not gifted with lying, miss. The boss had no brothers other than his nephew, since his sister had died ten years ago. Besides, he doesn't have any more brothers." The man chuckled cynically.
''Saying! Who sent you?" the man asked with a sharp look towards Maura.
The woman looked riled up, she just wanted to meet her father. Why is it accused of being nothing like this. Soon after, he showed his mother's possessions.
''This is me having this." Maura took off the necklace and earrings she was wearing, then showed the man.
''If you've been working with the person I'm referring to for a long time, you must have recognized these two things."
The man was surprised to see it. It was his master's gift for his wife's birthday present, before the abduction.
''And this is my identification. My full name is on the back of my mother." Maura pointed out the thing that had been in her grasp.
''That means, you....'' The man who became Bram's assistant could not continue his words because of his surprise.
Maura nodded steadily.
It was a miracle, had his master known this, he would have been very happy.
''Let's come with me....''
