My Conglomerate
Find a nanny for Lila

It's getting dark, Sora's not coming home all day. Now he is back on the beach to enjoy the beautiful sunset. At least like that, memories with the Mami long ago.

The sun began to sink, slowly like entering into a deep ocean. The sky is orange, blinding the eyes but still shining beautifully. It slowly disappeared, engulfed by the vast ocean without end and boundary.

Not forgetting Sora took his picture, which he will show Papi tomorrow. He could not guess what his expression was.

"He was always flat when I showed him a picture, even though it was even taken with my life bet" said Sora, who recalls the coldness of Papi.

After the adzan maghrib, Sora stepped out of the coastal environment. Look for traces of motorcycle taxi drivers, or even angkot passing by. But, he did not find it. Until finally he walked like homeless until he returned to his boarding place.

"Huh, jeez... Very tired." he said who sat on the terrace while adjusting the breath that was boring.

"Son, where have you been? Mother Daritadi worried about thinking where you are, afraid of straying, meeting bad people, what all sorts." Bu Norma scolded Sora.

"Eh, Mommy... Sorry, Ma'am _ was playing sand on the beach. You see, in the village there is no beach, there is a towering mountain." replied Sora cengengesan.

"Fear that, you stray. Although Bengkulu is still said to be small, if the stray is also difficult to find."

"Yes, Sora uses Google maps to find addresses. Same uses memory, same time Mam... Uh, Sora's mother, first." she replied.

"Oh, have lived here. Yasudah, keep bathing and rest. Girls, go home just sleeping." said Ms. Norma again.

Sora complied, then went into the room and rested himself for a moment.

"The money I brought, not enough? I don't know how long I've been here, but it feels really bad to be back. It was comfortable." he murmured.

Sora doesn't want to leave tonight. His legs felt linu because it was too far away from the journey he took. But, He is not caught up with what He did, He will continue to search for that beautiful place, and make himself happy for now.

"Sir, here's a photo with Mami. Tomorrow go there, ah. To Fort Malborough as well, continue to Zakat beach." he said in all plans.

The Pranata family is having a discussion with the Rayan family about an important plan that is almost void. They are all confused, especially Ardy and Papi Pranata.

" If it's from our family, it's not really a problem, Bang.  After all, Sora who ran away and wanted to cancel. So we also will not be too much to lose on all events. Back again the same brother, this is the second time like this. It must be tarnished by the name of Brother, big family, and hotel." said Rayan's father, Pak Wijaya.

"Yes, all will be our sufferings and dependents. I only have one daughter, but why is it so hard just to ask her to submit to me." lamented Papi Pranata.

"Pi, do we still have to hold a wedding in this house, but with a substitute bride?" ask Ardy.

"How about the substitute bride? Ngawur. With the change of the groom alone is so disturbing, especially when everything is replaced?"

"But, Pi... At least this saved our family for a while. Tens of thousands of invitations had been dispersed, so it was difficult to cancel them. Some may, but if the rest of us come here for a wedding, how do we answer?" obviously Ardy.

"Actually, with all this, I feel like I'm being played with. When it comes to covering up the disgrace of your family, and now overlapping one lie with another lies." replied Rayan, who looked disappointed.

All could only fall silent with such an honest answer. But, there must be a sacrifice this time, for the good name of their family.

"Who are you going to destroy?" ask Rayan.

Papi Pranata glanced at Ardy, because he was the owner of the answers to all these questions. But, Ardy was still confused, who would be willing to replace Sora in his marriage. Although this marriage is only temporary, and will be repeated when Sora returns.

"Don't everyone know that Sora ran away? You're the one who posted the picture on every corner of the street." continued Ayu.

"Don't interfere, Ayu. You better go in, and sleep with your son." said Ardy.

"That's your son too." muttered Ayu who left their show.

The sound of footsteps weakly entered the house. Mama Fatma, home with Papa Hartono who just visited his eldest son in the hospital.

"Ma, Mum... How's your brother doing?" ask Niji.

"It's still like that, and there's no change. Still grateful, if not regressed for his condition." replied Papa Rudy in a resigned tone..

"Where's Lila, Bang?" ask Mama Fatma.

"I slept in his room. And... Um, looks like we need a nanny for Lila. Because 'right, Niji asked Papa to return to focus on lectures that had been neglected for some time" said Niji.

"Seriously, you want to go to college? Won't you play around again?" asked Papa Rudy enthusiastically.

"Yes, as Papa once said. When we have to be prepared for the worst possible eventuality that will happen. And when it does, all the responsibility will be Niji emban as the eldest son."

Mr. Rudy heaved a sigh of relief at that answer. Karen was indeed a remark that they had been waiting for all this time.

Before Lila was born, Niji was their youngest child. Children who are always spoiled and want to be alone without being pressured with various rules from the Papa. But everything changes when there is a Toddler, a sense of responsibility grows in him as the youngest child fails it. Especially when the brother left the house because he did not approve of his Papa's marriage with Mama Fatma at that time.

"Well, if that's all your decision. Papa will continue to support him. Papa's gonna find a nanny for Lila, so your college can focus."

"But it still has to be under Niji's supervision, Pa." he said.

Mr. Rudy patted Niji on the shoulder, feeling proud. He will give his son full support.
