Mr. Secretary: Destiny Bound
CHAPTER 61 – CHAT MIDNIGHT

When Papi was about to hold Abay, Agung first carried him.

“Let me just Pi. It's pretty heavy when it gets to the car.” The grand whisper softly.

Papi nodded and smiled.

“Ndra, tomorrow Papi anterin Mami come here early in the morning. Didn't Papi just take Abay to school? Papi wants to do too.”

“Indra only Pi. All of you want to know the development that Indra was talking about.”

“OK. Later drivers between your shirts yes.”

“All work shirts are also Pi. Indra wants to go to the office for a while, check on the kids.”

“Can't pass online only?” Papi cringing.

“More good checks directly there. So know clearly what is wrong or what is lacking. Pity Bram if there is a mistake that should be prevented but instead happens.”.

Bramasta smiled broadly at Indra while brandishing her two thumbs.

“Ya. Arini, we go home first. Abay we bring, Mami has promised Abay.”

“Iya Pak Dhani. Abay Titip. Ma’af troublesome.”.

“Call me Papi like the others call me. We don't feel bothered. I am glad that there is Abay. Home so no longer quiet.” Papi chuckles.

“Thanks a lot.” Arini smiled.

Papi nodded.

“Son.. Papi go home first. See you tomorrow, God willing.” Papi hugs Indra, then whispers, “Given the good. We're all talking to Mami.”

Indra nodded then smiled.

“Thanks Pi.”

Bramasta and Adisti then crucified Papi.

“Two of you, Indra's constant kompori let him soon married. Bored Papi read the news gossip about Indra.”

“Do not read, Om.” Bramasta laughs.

“Do not read how? Passed on the HP screen kok.” Papi looked at Indra who was talking again with Arini, “Not to mention colleagues or business relations who offer their daughters or nephews to be his future wife.”.

“Not accepted, Pi?” ask Adisti.

“No way. Too clear as a shrimp on a bakwan implied meaning.” Papi chuckles followed by Bramasta and Adisti.

“Dah ah's.. Papi go first. Mami and Abay will be waiting for Papi.”

Not long after Papi's death, Bramasta drivers came to bring his second change of clothes and toiletries in a suitcase.

“Setdah. You're both.. Only last night I keep Teh Arin, the inn like to stay 3 days out of town.”Indra looked at the suitcases of the two of them.

Arini laughs.

All gathered on the sofa bed that had been placed next to the bed Arini after cleaning themselves alternately. Bramasta lay on Adisti's lap while Indra sat facing Arini with his legs crossed.

“Abay was very happy when invited by Mami to stay at her house. Especially when Papi told me there was a large fish pond on the back porch.”.

“Let's let Alif and Abay stay at the house of the opa and his grandfather Teh. Each has a fish pond. Got a cool grandpa. Can be fished fish to eat because it contains real fish.” Bramasta said as he closed his eyes enjoying the caress of his wife's hand on his forehead.

“Indeed the fish in the pond Papi and Daddy are fish-fishes, Bang?” Adisti chuckles.

“Can not be eaten by the owner. Just die in Daddy's hands.." Bramasta.

"Bapi is not all the way to kumpay piaranaannya. But I was once a fad. My time High School if not wrong class 2, because upset Papi and Mami more often out of town, I fried tuh one of his favorite fish.” Indra chuckles.

“Enak, Bang?” ask Adisti while chuckling.

Indra shook her head while shuddering.

“Again. Suer's not good. The meat is soft, the durinya much. There's no taste. Maybe because it was too big and old times yes.” Indra chuckles, “And I am good. The next morning, the entire body fell asleep. I don't really eat fish.”

Everyone laughed and heard Indra's story.

“Papi don't find the fish?” Arini looked at Indra.

“Cariin. Everyone is questioned. When I was asked, I answered, eaten by a stray cat.”.

They laugh again.

“Papi is not checking CCTV, Ndra.”

“Where is my brother fried it? How not to be caught with the house guy?”

“In the back kitchen. When the ART took off,” Indra chuckled again, “Suntil now Papi didn't know I ever ate the fish.."

They chuckle again.

“His Ready2Wear fashion catalog B Group.....all of you yes?” Arini looked at the three of them in turn.

“Idenya Disti.” Indra pointed to Adisti.

Bramasta kissed his wife's palm. While Adisti chuckles.

“Kok Teh Arini can conclude like that?” ask Adisti.

“Your body postures, same as the ones in the catalog. His face is not visible in the catalog. God, the concept is so cool. Even people from among the sultans when worn clothes that are affordable still look good and classy huh?”

“Indeed it points Tea. It is not a matter of price but our attitude and gestures that make the shirt look classy or not.”

“It feels great that Coffecholic could be a partner of B Group.”

“Buk Wife sleep first yes.. Brother still wants to chat first with Indra.” Bramasta stroked his wife's head covered in hijab.

Adisti crucified her husband's hand.

“Don't be long Mr. Husband.”

“Teh Arin if you want to sleep first, just sleep. Just ignore us.” Indra staring, “I close ya curtain.”

Indra pull bed curtain. Turn on the sleeping lights on the head bed.

“You drink first?” Indra thrust a bottle of mineral water with his suction.

Arini shakes.

“Warm water only so that the cheeks do not hurt.”

“Shortly.”

Not long after Indra again brought warm water in a paper cup. Indra helps Arini to drink.

“If need anything just call me yes Tea. Don't hesitate. About Alif, don't worry. She was supervised by a 24-hour nurse at PICU.”

Arini nodded. Indra fixed the location of Arini's blanket.

“Met bobo..” Indra smiled looking at Arini.

Indra turned off the main light. The atmosphere in the patient bed area becomes dim. Indra out of the curtain bed Arini. Looking at Bramasta who was patting his wife's back.

The headlights have been turned off all, only using dim sleeping lights. Indra picked up an apple in the refrigerator, looked at Bramasta and pointed to the sofa L ahead.

Bramasta nodded in understanding. After seeing his wife asleep, Bramasta followed Indra who was waiting for him while tuning the national TV news channel.

“What's up?” Indra bit her apple.

“It looks like I want to advance the meeting schedule with Persada Utama.”

“Why?”

“Two days later the hit-and-run news that the woman did will be in-spill Anton in TowTow. Can make hit a pair of husband and wife who are cycled it.”

“Indeed the actual schedule when?”

“Two days left.”

Indra nodded in understanding the direction Bramasta spoke.

“That’s better.”

“I was planning to turn off Persada Utama. Because I am very angry with the ways used by Persada Utama to enter his proposal to us. Take us lightly. Not to mention the mouth of Hendra Yanuar's wife who had already insulted Lu. I don't accept it, Bro. Lu my brother.”

Indra looked at Bramasta. His heart was touched by the words of his friend.

"Gue guess, the woman's mouth should be pinched. Pinched with pliers. Moreover, he had also betrayed the children of Lu.”

“Literally?” indra's eyebrows go up next door.

“It seems okay as well if until the incident yes.” Bramasta chuckled at the thought. Indra.

“Let affairs with women be settled by women as well as Disti said earlier.” Indra stared at the TV screen.

The news related to the world TowTow attracted the attention of Indra. Bramasta grabbed the remote to raise the volume of the sound.

“Alhamdulillah.. finally the government realized also with his cunning TowTowShopping,” Bramasta took a snack in a jar he on the table.

“Alhamdulillah yes, the MSMEs we built were not persuaded by seduction to enter TowTowShopping. They survived. Many have fallen after joining TowTowShopping. Their goods sold in the market are completely cheated then TowTowShopping will bring cheat products with almost 100% similarity at a much cheaper price. Imported directly from his country,” Indra shook his head.

“Turn out local MSMEs and advance MSMEs in his country.” Bramasta touched his nostrils, “As a result of free market.”

Indra nodded, “Freely, justifying all means. No more business ethics. Lost moral. Lost humanity.."

“Have you heard fake buyer?” Indra asks for a snack in front of Bramasta.

Bramasta.

“Wealthy traders use that tactic to raise sales and attract community trusts,” Indra cleans both hands, “Tow Algorithm will not raise the video rating of local MSMEs, etc, therefore MSME products lost in TowTow let alone attacked with imported products that are much cheaper.”

“If we could cover all MSMEs, Bro.” Bramasta rubbed his face.

“Changing that guy's mind is hard, Bram. Especially if they are the type of people who are easily amazed by someone's success and want to succeed also instantly.” Indra stretched out both arms.

“Sleep. It's night.” Bramasta.

“Tomorrow I'm working after school huh. I'll follow Lu's advice, lure them in with funds for student activities. Later I contact my assistant to advance a meeting with Persada Utama tomorrow. What time do you want?”

“After lunch only.” Bramasta walked with the worst step to the patient's family bed to see his wife. Then go to the bathroom to brush his teeth before going to bed.

“Goodnight, Bro,” said to Indra who is turning off the TV, “Assalamu’alaikum.”

Indra answered the greeting then to the bathroom.
