My Pretty Boss
Aksa and his Sadness

Aksa takes a taxi and a turin on the Brooklyn Bridge which is the oldest suspension bridge connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York City. Aksa stood on the edge of that bridge and continued to breathe rhythmically without rhythmically rhythmically because, the melded sadness of disappointment had struck his heart so hard and cruel.

Aksa continued to stare at the flow of the East river under the Brooklyn bridge with blank eyes. He stared at the calm flow of water and was lulled by the calmness of the water. He seemed to want to merge with the water so that he could become as calm as the flow of the East river.

Suddenly Aksa's shoulder was pulled by someone and Aksa jumped in shock and turned to the right. He looked at the charismatic and wise-faced old grandfather. The grandfather then said in Indonesian because, the grandfather can find out from the writing on his shirt Aksa, if Aksa is Indonesian, "whatever your problem, do not kill yourself Nak! There are still many ways and hopes to overcome your problems if you stay alive and respect your mother, who has struggled to give birth to you into this world, so grandfather please, do not kill yourself!"

"Grandfather can speak Indonesian and how do you know I'm Indonesian?"

The grandfather smiled broadly and pointed to Aksa's shirt, "the inscription on your t-shirt that shows to grandfather, if you are Indonesian and I can speak Indonesian because, because, I'm a businessman who likes to travel to different countries"

Aksa lowered her head to her shirt to look at the writing, "not careful you will stoop" Aksa smiled after reading the writing on her t-shirt. The handsome guy then raised his face and twisted his torso to look at the old man, "thank you for reminding me Kek. I had no desire to kill myself but, just a moment ago, my empty thoughts, almost made me plunge into this river"

The grandfather smiled widely and then patted Aksa back on the shoulder, "followed grandfather yuk! grandpa's gonna take you to coffee at Grandpa's cafe"

Aksa, who was in a state of mind, finally nodded his head and followed the grandfather to the cafe not far from the Brooklyn bridge.

Aksa and grandfather sat facing each other at a table in the corner of the cafe and asked, "what is your name young man?"

"My name is Aksa Son Julian"

"Huh? are you Dona and Kenzo Julian's son?" ask the grandfather.

"True, Kek" said Aksa and Aksa asked, "grandfather knows my father and mother?"

"Not only know, his late wife's grandfather loved your father and mother very much. Papa you go to college here and his late wife's grandfather already thinks of you as our son because, we don't have children. Grandpa was on his way to your engagement. Wait up! don't tell me you ran away from your engagement?"

Aksa nodded her head with a lethargic and sad look on her face.

"Why?"

"I don't love that woman and I'm disappointed in my papa"

"But son, you don't think about your mama? if you just walk away, how's Dona feeling?"

"My mother died a long time ago" Aksa said.

"Huh? Dona is dead? my grandfather was sad to hear it. Dona is a warm and loving figure, grandfather already considers your mother as his own grandfather's daughter. Forgive grandfather for, the sadness of grandfather losing grandfather's wife then grandfather went over and did not know the news of your mother and father again"

"Sorry, whose grandfather's name is?"

"Ooooo yes, hahahaha, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Felix Barnett and I have a photo that I always keep in my wallet" Felix's grandfather took his wallet, open it and show a picture of him with his beloved wife who was embracing Dona and the grandfather embracing Kenzo.

Aksa stared at the photo in the purse with a faint smile and then took the diary of her deceased mother from her bag and handed it to her and said, "this is why I left my papa"

Felix's grandfather puts his wallet back in his suit pocket then grabs Aksa's given diary, "diary? who's own?"

"Owned by my late mother" Aksa said.

Grandpa Felix then opened and began to read the diary strands by strands. After reading it, Felix's grandfather closed the book slowly and looked at Aksa with a smile and a face filled with question marks.

"Why are you staring at me like that, Cake?"

"If this is the only reason you left your papa then you are a narrow-hearted young man" Felix's grandfather said

Aksa sighed.Long, "there's still something else, my papa made me lose the woman I love so much.......Huuff! but you're right, Cake. But I still don't want to meet my papa anymore because, papa I have caused a lot of chaos in my life"

Aksa shook her head, "i don't know until when"

"Are you planning to go back to Indonesia?"

Aksa smiled faintly, "i don't want to go back to Indonesia because, I no longer have anything to fight for and I also don't have enough money if I want to return to Indonesia"

"Alright, grandfather will call your papa" Felix's grandfather said.

"Don't Cake!" Aksa immediately prevented Felix's grandfather however, Felix's grandfather raised his hand and said, "calm down! grandpa won't tell me where you are. Grandpa just wanted to tell your dad you're okay and for a while didn't want to see him"

Aksa then sculpts and lets Felix's grandfather call his papa.

"Aksa I'll take care of. Worry not! if Aksa doesn't want to see you yet then don't force it!" Click, Felix's grandfather turned off his phone with Kenzo Julian.

"Grandfather will take care of me?" ask Aksa.

"Yes because, you are Dona's son then you are my grandson. I'll take care of you. You stay with me from today. Let's go home!"

Kenzo tells his wife not to worry and weep for Aksa because, Aksa is fine along with his adoptive father Kenzo. But Kenzo's biggest question is why Aksa doesn't want to see him again. Kenzo sat limp and scooped up his handsome face

Dara then asked, "what's wrong? you're saying Aksa's gonna be okay with Mr Felix Barnett?"

"Aksa is fine but I am sad because, my adoptive father said that Aksa would not see me again. What's my fault?"

Dara let out a long sigh and said, "I'll tell you everything. But later, when we've returned to Indonesia"

Aksa has gotten into Felix's grandfather's car. Aksa suddenly asked, "real grandfather of England huh?"

"Hahaha, you do inherit a lot from Dona, not only is your face similar to Dona but your intelligence is the same as Dona. Yes son, I am English and settled here after meeting my soul mate" Felix's grandfather said.

"You're lucky, Cake. You can meet your grandfather's soulmate and can live together until death separates" said Aksa by commenting on a thin smile.

"Yes, I'm lucky to have it. Although we were not allowed to have children, Belva, my wife, had many adopted children because she was soft-hearted, warm, and kind. I only loved Belva for the rest of my life so after Belva died I was so devastated but, I also don't want to remarry for me a wedding only once and that's with Belva" Felix's grandfather said.

Aksa let out a long sigh and said, "i also want such a marriage with Bin! forget it, Cake"

Grandpa Felix then put his hand on Aksa's hand, "if you are fooled, no matter how complicated your path, then you will be reunited however, but, if you are not a match, you will meet new people and be enabled by God to come back to know love"

Aksa turned his head and smiled at Felix's grandfather then said, "thank you for helping me, for accommodating me, and strengthening my heart at this time, Cake. What can I do to repay grandfather's kindness?"

"Learn the diligent until you graduate then grandfather will teach you to take care of his business grandfather"

"That's all, Cake?" ask Aksa.

"Yes, that's all Grandpa asked for"

"But my grandfather just knew me. Why do you trust me so much and plan to teach me about your business?"

"Because you're Dona's son, then I believe a thousand percent more in you" Felix's grandfather patted Aksa's shoulder gently and told his personal driver to speed up his car to his palace.

The beginning of a new life for Aksa Son Julian with Felix Barnett will bring a lot of changes to Aksa.
