...Episode 20's...
With a cold response, I just smiled. "Hani... hungry?" ask Kak Dini.
I shook my head, then turned towards the window. Dini's sister was silent no longer speaking, but her hand was holding mine. I tried to calm myself down, forgetting all the problems that were weighing on me.
The mood of worry, confusion, sadness, makes everything feel very difficult to forget. If only Erik could comfort me. I see this I always take with me wherever I go.
How beautiful are the butterflies in this keychain. Just as good are my memories with Erik. I wonder how he is now, where he is, Erik must now be living happily with his new family.
Never sent me a letter, did he forget me, or even hate me. I hope to see him again someday. I wanted to tell him a lot, ask for his opinion, and the thing I expected the most was to be able to live with him.
My path is still long, I don't know what other trials I will face. Inevitably, I must accept all circumstances. Dad said to me, all his shares will be given to me. Actually I don't want to be busy with office work, I want every day to just paint and paint. But father's decision was already unanimous, because I was the only son of the heir to the company.
There's 1 co-worker dad, this guy named Mr. Roy. Mr. Roy is the second person to own the largest stake after my father, 30%. Of course far from the shares owned by the father who up to 60%.
With that stock, the rights are entirely in the hands of father, which I heard Mr. Roy was very close to father. You could say father's best friend since childhood. I heard from Kak Dini, Mr. Roy the most opposed to father in the transfer of father's shares.
At the company's board meeting, the father said he would transfer his shares to his son, me. Mr. Roy then said that I was not worthy of holding the company.
Mr. Roy also said that I was too young, and had not had much experience. But, the father remained chuckle with his decision, no one could hinder or overturn the father's decision. Dad then said, if I was mature, experienced, with proof of my success in dealing with the problems that exist in one of the companies in Japan.
All the company officials were silent, inevitably agreeing with father's decision. Kak Dini can tell a story with me, because it gets information from Andri who accompanies father every day in the office. Even every meeting Andri stood behind my father.
He said, after that Mr. Roy went abroad and managed one of the companies there. After the meeting the relationship between father and Mr. Roy slightly stretched. I don't care about it, for a father the most important thing is me, his son.
After a long journey, the plane finally arrived safely at Halim Perdanakusuma Airport. My sister and I got off the plane and took all the stuff.
"Hey...." Dad called out to me, I ran towards him and hugged Grandma and Dad. I miss them so much, my tears keep falling, no longer held back. Same with Dad, his eyes kept shedding tears, so did Grandma.
Dad brought a lot of bodyguards, all his guards were told to bring me the things I brought. Kak Dini looks like he wants to get close to Kak Andri, but shy.
Father's hand poked Brother Andri, telling him to approach Kak Dini. Brother Andri then walked up to Kak Dini and immediately hugged her. Kak Dini's cry broke, crying like a child.
A couple who are soon to be married, the struggle to wait is extraordinary. Just because of me, they had to postpone the marriage for so long. Sis Dini cried in the arms of Brother Andri, sticking his tongue out at me.
I gave it to Brother Andri, Brother Andri just laughed. The book was taken by Kak Dini and read it. Seeming annoyed, Brother Dini chased after me. "After that, let's go home to celebrate the return of my son" said Father.
We rushed into the car, Grandma looked very pale, I asked her with a gesture, "Grandmother no papa? Grandma sick?"
"Dear, grandma's just tired, sleep deprived. Thinking of Grandma's granddaughter who will go home, so happy even can not sleep," replied Grandma.
Grandma kept hugging me on the way. Grandma told me that Kak Dini's wedding day is soon. Next week Kak Dini will hold a wedding reception with Kak Andri.
We must prepare, Brother Dini has no one else, we are his family. Dad had prepared everything, both buildings, and others.
They are both meritorious people, Kak Andri who is loyal to work with my father, and Kak Dini who has worked hard to take care of me all this time. From the age of 5 years to 18 years, Kak Dini faithfully worked for me.
The father also considered them both as his own children, the wedding was made very luxurious and magnificent. When we got home, I was really surprised, the house I had left for so long now had completely changed.
Lots of flower gardens, plus fruit gardens around the house, a really beautiful house. But, I feel a little hot, maybe because the air temperature in Japan is lower when compared to Indonesia.
Eyes closed, directed to walk somewhere with Dad. When I opened my eyes it turned out that in front of me there were a lot of good food that I did not meet in Japan.
We ate together, everyone looked so happy. On the sidelines of the meal, Dad said, "Hani, from now on Hani will replace the position of father in the company. I believe in Hani's ability."
I don't want to disappoint Dad, nodding with an excited face. He smiled at me and said, "This is my son."
"Hani will just go home, let Hani rest first do not think about the company's business," said Grandma.
"Definitely, you don't have to rush, I just told Hani to get Hani ready. Maybe after Early marriage, Hani started to get into the office, ", Dad replied.
"Haven't thought about it again, we're having fun today. Oiya behind the house there is a durian tree that bears fruit, after eating we look for a mature one how?" said Grandma.
Grandma just know the fruit that I like, for a long time I did not eat durian, let alone the results of his own metic. I hurried to finish eating, and pulled Grandma's hand, delivering me to the durian tree.
"I'm also coming, too" said Kak Dini, walking while holding me.
