That afternoon, the sun reached its peak. The heat feels very stinging. As if it could melt the asphalt and change it into its original shape.
"Hot." complained a woman from behind the wheel of her luxury car. He repeatedly wiped the sweat that had appeared on his temple. Although the luxury car he brought had a cooler, but nature won a landslide in this affair. Summer has come.
In addition to her complaints about the weather, the woman could not forget the series of tangled threads that filled her brain. There are so many problems at work that make him dizzy. This hot weather adds to the series of complaints today. As if there were no good days for her.
Emma Rosaline, Ceo of the Rose group, is engaged in cosmetics. But one of the companies under his auspices was hit by a scandal. Resulting in its shares parachuting and getting down to the bottom. It felt like Emma slammed the wheel of her car and drowned herself in the sea.
Emma felt that there was no one in this world who was as bad as her. Breathing alone felt heavy for him now. Maybe he can't be a ceo anymore.
"Fry, fried. Brother, want some fried?"
Emma is shocked to find a young boy coming to her car. The woman looked to her left right, and only realized that she was at a red light. All the problems in his brain had shattered his vision.
"Sister? want to buy no? yummy. There was tofu, tofu meatballs, bakwan." the boy again offered Emma with a smile of spirit that was still on his face. As if there was no burden between her small face carvings.
Emma felt touched, and at the same time felt stupid. He had just received a violent slap from the cruelty of life. A young child is willing to fight the sun for the coffers of small money if the eyes of Emma. And the woman felt the most miserable in the world, while this little sister still smiled innocently despite the injuries she suffered more.
"No yes, brother? then excuse me."
"Wait." Emma stopped the footsteps of the boy who wanted to leave.
"Okay, how much do you buy?"
In just one blink of an eye, the child was already preparing to grab a fry with a clawed iron claw in his right hand.
"Hmmm." Emma glanced at the wares of the boy who was on a large, round tray. Everything looks good in the eyes of people who have not had lunch.
"If you buy all, get a bonus kiss from me, brother. How's it?" the boy raised both his eyebrows proudly.
Emma chuckled with her soft voice. Not unexpectedly this child has seeds in the field of marketing.
"All right, I bought them all" Emma said with a smile.
"Eh?! seriously?!" the boy heard Emma's words. Of course he was surprised, because no one had ever said it.
"Seriously, please wrap it all up." Emma looked at the boy with a prick. "And don't forget the bonus."
The boy's expression began to change. It seems that he is not interested in giving the bonus. Actually, he was just talking. Because he knew that there would be no one who would directly buy all his merchandise.
Seeing the sour expression that suddenly appeared on the child's face, Emma hurriedly spoke, "haha big brother did buy all, but the bonus is not necessary."
"But I'm not tasty. Brother has been kind enough to buy all my merchandise." Despite saying that it was unpleasant, the relieved expression that was there could not be covered.
"Look, replace it with another. I want to know what your name is."
The boy looked confused for a moment, then nodded his head with a cute smile that had returned.
"But my brother, soon the light will turn green."
Emma just remembered that she's at a red light right now. But this red light doesn't have a countdown pointer, why would this brat know? maybe since then, he's counting the time?
"Sorry brother, your car's getting dirty. It's good like this." The boy said with a slightly frightened face.
"It's okay. Don't think too much." said Emma who was greeted by a nod of the head from the cute boy.
Turns out right, the lights are turning green. Emma drove her car and pulled her over the sidewalk by a red light.
"This is my brother, all the fritters." The boy had offered three medium-sized plastic bags full of fried foods, each filled with cayenne pepper.
"Thank you." Emma handed me some 100 thousand bills from her wallet.
"This is too much brother."
"It's okay, the rest is for you to snack on."
Hearing those words, the little boy could not hide his happy smile. "Thank you brother." he cried later.
"So...what's your name?" ask Emma.
"My name is Aldrich, 10 years old."
Emma's heart was shaking again. A 10-year-old has worked so hard. At this age he should be playing with his friends. It was quite embarrassing compared to him. Just a matter of rumors, making him want to kill himself. Emma felt she had no face in front of this Aldrich.
"Yes, brother." Aldrich got off Emma's car.
"See you later Al." Emma smiled as much as possible amid the shame that befell her.
"Yes bye bye's sister." Aldrich runs away, and disappears from Emma's sight.
Turns out she speaks English too, Emma smiled.
The car is running again. Emma's mind is better than ever. He can accept his situation. And somehow, he suddenly came up with an idea to solve a problem in his brain. It is true as the saying goes, there is always a solution behind all problems.
Emma wants to one day meet Aldrich again, and go together to share the story. He knew that the child's life must be difficult, and it was also difficult for him to shout his grievances. That sweet smile, was still beautifully drawn in Emma's mind. He did not want the smile to disappear one day.
"I wish I had a child like that." Emma muttered in between her driving focus.
Emma Rosaline is 27 years old. She is a career woman who is not too concerned with a romantic relationship. For him, working is more fun than playing with men. Although he used to say work is more fun, in fact a few minutes ago he was depressed because of work. Now he also realized that everything was the same. His feelings also hurt when his work got into trouble.
Emma will change. To be strong like Aldrich. And trying to find a partner. It's a little late, but he'll try.
Ting!
Emma's phone got a message.
Afraid that the message contained something important, Emma immediately pulled over her car and opened the message.
[Big lady, ceo Hamilton Group would like to meet you.]
Both of Emma's eyebrows are furrowed. Wh who?
