Like the last message

A few things Maureen checked on her phone, from the last call to the inbox. No calls or messages came in. Until then he woke up,

“Gosh, I forgot to turn off airplane mode,” Maureen said as she patted her eel.

“Gosh my brother.. pantesan from earlier hape sister does not sound. Though usually already like a parrot, muteii mulu,” great-granddaughter Dita.

Maureen simply smiled, laughing at her own stupidity. The world should be quiet for a moment. There were no messages or calls from his stepson as it turned out that his cell phone network was off. Maureen activated it immediately.

The network on the phone already appeared and within seconds several messages entered his phone.

Melda, Riswan, group chat and of course the top is a message from Byan.

“Well, Maureen's world is ringing again. Happy busy ria...” ledek Dita while passing away. If it's like this, he should leave Maureen alone.

Maureen smiled slightly hearing Dita's teasing. In a few moments, he started to focus on his phone. The first message he checked was from his boss.

“Udah until?”

“Where is the trip?”

“Where are you?”

“Why aren't you active?”

“Maureeeennn, ibuu tirrriiii, where are you?”

Those were some of the messages that Byan sent along with other spam messages. What's wrong with this kid, why so much? He had only been gone a few hours.

“I'm on project.” location That sentence became Maureen's reply to her stepson.

Byan immediately read it and typed in a new message that looked like it would be very long.

Leaving behind Byan's message, Maureen's second message was from Melda.

“Kaaaakkk, I nyeraahhh. I'm capeekkk, boss sir, it's really nice! My job is all wrong. Huhuhuhu...” sentence complaint that sent Melda.

New maureen will reply, but Melda has already contacted.

“Ya Me-“

“Kaaakkkk...” Maureen's greeting is not finished but Melda already whining.

“Hem,” finally Maureen just said it like that.

“Sister, I'm depressed. Boss sir make me stresss!!! White flag kaaakkkk.. flag putiiihhh Melda really whines.

“Emang why? She usually does okay?” ask Maureen. Sorry this time Maureen lied a bit. He thought Byan wouldn't be a plug on Melda.

“What's okay? Very fast. His eyes are so scary. Not to mention the cold aura, nyebeliiinnn. I think he'll be good with me but I think he's just as good as Maureen doang. Niesel I want to be his PA.” Melda groaned with length.

“Iyaaa patient yaa. we are not able to choose a superior,” entertain Maureen. He felt exactly what Melda was feeling.

“Yeah but I don't think he's all that big brother. I have no appetite because I have to grumble mulu. Where I accidentally swore coffee back into his pants. At the expulsion I brother, from his room he.” Melda's voice until stammered because it held back crying.

Maureen could imagine how that happened. Be present, pity also hears of Melda's suffering.

“Sabar ya, I only went three days really. Please be strong for those three days. Ask for help Riswan if you are already dizzy.” Maureen tried to calm down.

“Iya brother, but,”

“Mel snapped, he called me.” Not finished the sentence Melda, forced to pause first.

“Yes, I answered first. Malem later I confide in him. So tell me not to be fierce with me,” Melda's message.

“Okey, let's go. We'll connect again.” Maureen was forced to cut off her call with Melda. He immediately answered Byan's call which had rang several times.

“Halo,“

“Why is the new phone active? Where the hell are you?”

Only one word of greeting from Maureen but Byan's sentence is longer. It seems like this child can no longer wait.

“I will reply to your message, if I am already at project.” location Maureen chimed in casually.

“I forgot to matain airplane mode. Now it's on fire. What's the matter with the call? Riswan and Melda are there.”

“Your man is not a workaholic! When he took coffee to my feet. My leg chips get wet with coffee, how do you try to clean it? Not to mention he even mesen seafood restaurant for meetings when it was clear I was allergic to seafood. What exactly is he?” byan's complaint immediately dragged into Maureen's ear. He gasped for breath holding back his annoyance.

“Udah ngomelnya?” Maureen asked calmly.

“But! I'm also upset that you're hard to contact. I told you that your phone should always be active. Why don't you obey?”

“Halo, Maureen!” exclaimed Byan, when he felt his scolding was not responded to.

“Yes, I'm here. Continue the tirade if not satisfied.” Maureen kept her phone away from her ears because without a loud speaker, Byan's voice sounded very loud.

“No, that's enough. It's your turn to say, I need a reasonable explanation.” Byan's tone of voice began to drop as if he was tired himself.

“What's more, I told you that I forgot to turn off airplane mode. That's the explanation.” Maureen replied casually.

“You know that's a bad habit?” Byan still doesn't accept it.

“Ngak. I felt like it was a good habit. Every now and then I have to turn off my network so no one calls just for the nagging and noisy kayak now.”

“What do you mean? Do you feel disturbed?”

“Iya!” sahutan Maureen was upset.

“Why are you disturbed? I'm just worried about you. Your fault is not activein hape, I became a release ngomel.” Byan scratched his head that was not itchy. Sorry to blame Maureen.

“You think I should activate my phone during the trip? You want me to get off the plane at 3800 feet?” timpal Maureen's.

“Ya not too.”

“Ya continue?” Maureen responded urgently until Byan ran out of words.

“I already gave you one of the best PA Anggoro corp has. You should not worry, he will take good care of you.” Maureen continued her sentence.

“But he doesn't take care of me as well as you.” Byan's voice sounded slow but quite clear.

"Did you also treat him well?" Maureen asked back.

"Remember Byan, don't make your subordinates give up not because of the burden of labor but because they have a boss that sucks."

"If it's like that, you won't have loyal employees."

“So, stop being childish. I told you not to act like Melda. You have to learn to get used to new people because not necessarily I will be your PA forever.”

Maureen said wisely but it made Byan ketar-ketir.

“Where are you going?” byan's voice grew weaker, his heart was already pounding.

“Yes where I know, maybe one time I also can not stand your childish attitude, keep me going deh.”

“But we are both maintaining Anggoro corp to be all right, why do you even want to go?” Byan's getting scared. The shadow that Maureen would leave after getting everything was even more clearly imagined in his mind. Really, he wasn't ready for it.

Maureen did not immediately chimed in, she was silent for a while to calm herself down. He also thought of his own words that one day he would indeed go from Byan's side and start a new life after successfully avenging him. But when did that time come?

“Maureen?” Byan called out Maureen's name gently but it was enough to make Maureen stunned.

“The bottom line is, you don't rely too much on anyone including me. Because one day people will leave you somehow,” Maureen said.

Replacing the silent Byan, his chest pounded loudly hearing Maureen's earnest-sounding words. Why is this woman so sure of what she said? Did he intend to leave from the beginning?

“Byan, I have to continue my work. Please be nice to Melda. She's a nice and smart girl just that she's easily nervous. Don't make her panic because it will make her forget a lot of important things. What can?” maureen's sentence sounded like the last message to Byan.

Byan did not reply nor did Maureen who was just speechless. No sound was heard until then who ended the call first. Maybe because the signal disappeared with a strong wind.

Why is there such a taste in Byan's heart?
