Zafier seemed serious about studying the files on his desk. For a moment the zafier stopped from his activity, he took a heavy breath, his eyes looking up as if he was thinking of something heavy.
'Hmm. 5 months have I been here, hopefully the recovery period oom Alex goes smoothly. That way my job here is over. Fortunately I can trust Gavin to hold my company in Amsterdam, Zafier's inner self.
'How are dady and his future wife, yes, there seems to be no news about them, daddy also did not contact me anymore. If Alex has recovered, I can relax and leave Rotterdam. I can help daddy by choosing a good woman for him, if indeed the choice of a good woman's daddy, who can take care of daddy and company at once, not the type of matre women who just want daddy money, then I can calmly leave the daddy, I can be calm and focus on developing my own company', thought Zafier.
Zafier's daydreams instantly froze when the door of his room suddenly opened without a knock, Zafier knew very well whose habit it was, who else if not his cousin Adriea.
"Oh heer (dutch: oh my god) Adriea.
"I can hang on because you're Adriea" Zafier added, still in an upset mode.
"Kom op (dutch: come on) mijn lieve neef (dutch: my dear cousin) long your heart will get used to it" said Adriea smiled and blinked her eyes, while putting a cute face in front of Zafier.
"It's been 5 months and my heart is still not used to it" Zafier said, shuffling Adriea's hair.
"Oh nee (dutch: oh no), you messed with my hair neef (dutch: cousin)", cried Adriea annoyed.
Zafier laughs. " Feel my vengeance".
"Iish.. You are vindictive neef", wrote Adriea.
"What are you looking for is Adriea" asked Zafier.
"You haven't had lunch, have you?, let's have lunch with me", Adriea asked.
"Do you not have a lover for you to take lunch with" asked Zafier again, his forehead creased as he looked at Adriea.
"I (dutch: me)...?", asked Adriea, her finger pointing towards herself.
"Who else if not you", replied Zafier casually.
"I just appreciate you being older neef, you haven't got a boyfriend yet. So long as you haven't taken your lover, I can't accept anyone yet. Just so you know neef, the queue of the men who expected me was already very long" Adriea said with great confidence.
"Oh heer...where is your confidence so high Adriea?", asked Zafier in amazement.
"Ha.ha.ha", Adriea laughed out loud.
"Kom op neef (dutch: come on cousin) just accept Jade, her father is a famous businessman in Rotterdam, I guarantee you will not regret", said Adriea again.
"Don't tell me that lunch today you're taking Jade" Zafier asked, staring intently at Adriea.
"Don't look at me like that, I feel like a suspect" Adriea said.
"At first he forced me to take you to lunch together, but I know you don't like him, where I might trap my brother" Adriea said in self-defense.
"Hmm. I've asked my secretary to order my lunch" Zafier refused.
"You don't believe me neef" asked Adriea with a face that was parched.
"I trust you, Adriea, but I can't have lunch outside, look at the files on my desk, it's all waiting for completion. I hope all my work here is done, so next month I can go to Indonesia, daddy needs me there" Zafier explained.
"Hmm. Then I'll just eat here, I'll have your secretary order it for me too. I will study with you neef, I hope to help daddy after you" Adriea said seriously.
Adriana realized during this time she was more relaxed in the company, so when her daddy was sick, the daddy
I had to ask Zafier to help me.
"It's good that you're aware, you're playing too much, rather than learning to take care of the company" Zafier said.
"I know neef, I just feel like I can't, I don't have the talent and the ability to take care of it, I don't deserve to take care of this family company. I was afraid that if it was in my hands, this company could lose or even be destroyed" Adriea said in a trembling voice, there was emotion in her words.
Zafier looked at his cousin. He approached Adriea and hugged her. Zafier tried to calm his cousin down.
"I'm afraid that I can't be like you neef, every time that daddy tells me only your greatness, your success, your company that you pioneered, hik hik hik", finally Adriea's tears fell along with her stuffing
"I'm tired neef, always compared to you, I'm nothing compared to you. Why are you not my biological brother, so that my life can be as free as Arabell, hik hik hik", isak Adriea getting louder.
"Can you continue with this company, as my grootvader and daddy want it?", asked Adriea again with tears in her eyes.
"Ik vraag (dutch : I beg)", pinta Adriea with a raucous voice.
Zafier stroked Adriea's head, wiping off her tears. He was confused as to how to explain it to his cousin.
" Adriea, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm a human being. If my body and soul were three, I would share, each in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Indonesia so that I could run 3 affairs at once. You will know that my daddy told me to go home to run his business" said Zafier.
"You are not incapable, but you yourself do not want to learn and accept this responsibility. You have nothing to fear, you have great teachers. There's a grootvader, there's your daddy. You just need to fix your intentions, face your destiny, take responsibility for whatever is your destiny. Learn with great people like grootvaders and daddy, while they're still with you. Don't let you regret it. Show them the best effort you can. Make them proud" Zafier advised at length.
"I as your brother will help you as much as I can. Remember you are not alone, we will help you, we will support you" Zafier said.
Adriea wiped away his tears, he listened to every advice of Zafier. He promised inwardly will change, will learn, will try to help his daddy manage the company, until later he is required to take full responsibility for it.
"Thank you neef, thank you for awakening me, thank you for encouraging me. In return, I will find you a lover" said Adriea excitedly.
"Adriea.. don't start again", annoyed Zafier.
"I'm serious neef, don't tell me you're still waiting for Gwenmu" asked Adriea.
Zafier breathed his breath out violently. His eyes glare.
"I'm still waiting for Adriea" said Zafier.
"Oh heer (dutch: oh my god) .. I don't know what to say anymore, I'm out of neef words", murmured Adriea.
"It's been 17 years neef, we don't know if he's alive or dead. You are waiting for something uncertain" Adriea said.
"I know neef, but my heart is sure that if he is alive, my heart is sure that he is my destiny Adriea, my heart is sure that one day we will be reunited" Zafier said.
Adriea stared in amazement at her cousin, amazed at Zafier's feelings, at his loyalty.
"I can only pray for you that your hope will be fulfilled, and hopefully one day I can find a lover who loves me deeply, as deeply as you feel for Gwen" Adriea said.
"But if you don't find it either, and you're tired, I hope you can accept Jade" Adriea laughed.
" Your prayers are very bad", Zafier said in annoyance.
"Ha ha ha.. Don't take neef too seriously" joked Adriea.
" O yes, today I leave early, me and Arabell will pick up Daddy from the hospital. Daddy is not at home there, daddy will continue the recovery period at home only", said Adriea.
"Alright, say hello to Alex, see you at home" said Zafier.
Adriea rushes to leave Zafier alone in his room.
'One problem is over, I hope Adriea keeps her promise, so I am calmer leaving Rotterdam and oom Alex', inner Zafier
Then Zafier opened his phone, a small photo of Gwen looking into the background of his phone. For a moment Zafier closed his eyes
'Mylittle Gwen, one by one the problems I have solved, when the problems of your loss can I solve', he murmured..
