Take Me To Your Heart
Chapter 11 - Exchanging secretaries

Mira's still curled up in her mattress. This morning he was feeling lazy. Maybe because of the weekend so he can sleep as much without any interference, especially interference in the morning.

On every weekday, Mira usually wakes up in the morning because the alarm on Mira's phone mutters her voice right at five in the morning. But for the weekend the alarm is not set at all. Mira wants to get up as she pleases.

Sometimes i run

Sometimes in hide

Sometimes I'm scared of you

but all really want is to hold you tight

treat you right

be with you day and night

baby all I need is time

the ringing of the phone sounded loud which made Mira sleep disturbed.

Mira palpates - palpates looking for objects that are the source of sound.

Still half-conscious Mira stared at her phone screen, figuring out who was bothering her this morning.

Mira shifts the button of her phone and a loud sound of a slight cry greets her.

"Hallo darling." Good afternoon. Mama Stella.

In Jakarta the clock is still showing at nine in the morning, while in Manado it is ten. Jakarta and Manado have a time difference of one hour.

Mira's parents live in Manado while Mira decides to stay in Jakarta after she gets a job.

"Good morning ma." Reply Mira while yawning.

"It's not morning anymore, baby. You haven't woken up yet ?"

"In Manado it was noon. Jakarta has not yet ma." denied Mira.

"You're a very lazy woman."

"Ih mama. Rarely - rarely able to wake up kayak gini." Don't be angry - angry mulu ma. It will not be beautiful anymore."

"Mama's not angry, baby. Mama just wants you to be a diligent child every day. Later if you are married and live with your mother-in-law how ?

You will be difficult , then later mama also carried away - bring it too. Mama is accused of not teaching you anymore." Mama Stella said.

"Looks like my mom watches soap too often." Inner Mira.

"Yes ma. Diligent every day if you are married. Not yet, so it's okay to wake up bad luck." denied Mira.

"You are told to always argue." Grumpy mama Stella.

"Hehehee...Sorry ma. I love you... " Push Mira.

Mira never minded hearing her mother's talk.

Long time ago still living in Manado, every day Mira had to listen to the babble of her mother.

Mira is taught to be disciplined, diligent, honest and faithful by both parents.

That's the initial capital to succeed.

Besides that Mira is also taught to work, ranging from cooking, cleaning the house to planting flowers, traditional medicines and even trees.

The brothers sometimes like to complain, actually we are real children what stepchildren anyway.

Mama Stella simply answered their complaints with a sweet smile.

Trust me, honey, this is all for your own good. That sentence you always said to Mira and her sister.

"Ohya darling. How's your job ?" Ask mom Stella.

"Current ma." Even in the near future there is a contract with the company in New York.

"Gee...Thank goodness." Good luck, dear." Mama Stella.

"Hm. How about the future daughter-in-law ? Is there not yet ?" Ask mom Stella.

"Yes ela ma. The ends must be about that again." If there is, it must be taken there ma. Mira replied annoyed.

"Haha...." Ok ok. But not for long - yes. Remember the age of love.

"Mira is young kali ma." My mom is calm. The soul mate is not going anywhere . If it's time, it'll be nongol itself.

"Yes yes." Mama always doain you so that you succeed in work and also a mate. Amen."

"Ohy. Next week, my mom is going to Jakarta." Mama Stella.

"Why come here ma ?" Ask Mira.

"Mama wants to see you. The end of this mama often thought of you. " Answer to mother Stella.

"Oh my goodness ma. Mira is good - good. No reason - napa." Mama don't think too much. I will be sick loh ma.

"What day are you leaving for ?"

"Still not knowing, baby. This just checked the ticket price."

"Oh yes. Later mama will tell Mira when she will definitely come here. The ticket money will transfer Mira for a while ma."

"Not to be darling. This is my new mom with Arisan. So the money to buy a ticket." Said mom Stella.

"How much does Mark's college cost ? "Ask Mira.

"That's done! The money you sent was all in Mark's pocket to pay for college."Answer mama Stella.

"Oh. Where is that boy ?"

" It's been going to college from eight o'clock."

"Keep papa where is ma ?"

"Go take care of the store.Let's have a chat. Papa looks busy, there's already some shoppers in the store." Said mom Stella.

Papa Mira has retired from his job at one of the SOE companies in Manado. Pension money papa given to Mira to continue his education, college in Jakarta. While the other money is used as capital to open a mini market in front of Mira's parents' house.

"Oh. Okay, if it's githu." Mira again when mama leaves.

"Yes dear. You have hearts there. Good - good people let no one harm you. Do not forget to always pray.

Prayer is a weapon and a force to face problems, challenges and tests.

Prayer can provide hope and inner calm because prayer is worship.

"Yes ma. Mira will always remember the advice of mama. i love you ma." Mira said with sincerity.
