Ivan woke up when his hand was fingered to the side there was no one by his side. He scrunched his forehead. Just last night she spent time with Sandra in her luxury apartment after one week of not meeting, because Sandra had a photo shoot in Surabaya.
In his lifetime up to 32 years, Ivan had never committed to any woman. Because promiscuity during his college in America made it easy to get carried away with the flow. He never expressed his love for women, but most of them came and offered him warmth.
When Sandra first became a model advertising the relationship of the two was ordinary, until one night when there was a corporate birthday celebration of several models who became brand ambassadors of beauty companies also accompanied her while accompanying clients.
Ivan, who at that time did not establish closeness with anyone, received with open arms, as Sandra began to pour wine into her glass. The other models no one dared to approach, because they knew Ivan was their boss and their position was still under the newcomer Sandra but had the highest flying hours among them.
Sandra felt lucky, because Ivan did not let go that night, until finally they enjoyed a night together in the hotel room president suite ordered by Roni, until finally they enjoyed a night together, because the boss wants to spend the night with the company's most expensive model.
Ivan got up from the bed. The sound of his cell phone disturbed the calm on that pretty sunny Sunday morning.
“Hallo, ma ... “ while holding back the drowsiness of Ivan greeted his mother who had called so early.
“Sore this mama wants you to come home ... “ the soft voice of Larasati always keeps her calm.
“What can not be postponed first, ma. I still have an event this afternoon …. “ Ivan tried to reject his mother's desire. He still wants to spend time with Sandra. I'm not satisfied he played all night. He wants to continue until tonight before the lover flies again.
Tomorrow morning Sandra has to fly to Singapore, because a cosmetics company is re-using itself as a brand ambassador. And he does not want to miss their togetherness which is now increasingly difficult because of the schedule of both are creeping.
“If you do not come, mama decided not to admit you as the son of mama again,” threatened Laras seriously. He really misses his only son who is always busy and rarely comes home.
Ivan smiled as soon as the phone was turned off unilaterally by his mother. He's conscious. Indeed, it has been almost 3 months he never visited his mother who lives with Mimi tomboyish cousin who is just starting college.
The incoming message distracts Ivan's thoughts about his mother's words. It opens the incoming message from the app.
“Yang, forgive me for leaving you alone. At dawn I hurried to leave on a morning flight. Filming of the ad was at 10 o'clock. Me and Bobby flew straight to Singapore.”
Ivan did not reply to Sandra's message. He knew Sandra's high flight hours made her unable to do anything. Both have no commitment. For relationships that are intertwined now only take and give and mutually beneficial. Ivan gets warmth, while Sandra has material that makes her a famous socialite among celebrities.
He's going home this afternoon. He also longed for the aroma of home-style cooking that his mother always prepared when he returned home. This Saturday morning there were not many activities that Ivan did.
Ivan casually parked his car into a cafe owned by former employees and close friends of Abbas. All the cafe staff knew Ivan well. So that every arrival of Ivan they did not need to mince words anymore. Ivan will meet Abbas in his office and office.
“Wah, who was counting days .. “ without saying hello Ivan immediately threw his body on the sofa in Abbas's office.
“Wah, tumben boss hanging out at this hour. Is it not part? No blanket?” Abbas smiled at Ivan's visibly upset face.
“Campret.” Ivan pelted Abbas with a box of tissue on the table.
Abbas laughed out loud at Ivan's curse. He was no longer surprised by his swear. 5 years he worked as a subordinate of Ivan made him know the figure of Ivan inside. He was so respectful of Ivan who never counted in his salary. Until after his capital is sufficient, Abbas resigned and began to pursue the cafe business that is now mushrooming throughout the country.
“Makanya, have the couple tied up so as not to wander on. If you're dizzy who can be blamed?”
Ivan pensively for a moment. He knows that Abbas has many truths. But how else. He himself is not ready to commit. He still likes to see the beautiful, even though his heart and body only belong to one Sandra.
“You come with me again yes ...” suddenly Ivan got up from the sofa and sat down before Abbas who was still checking his cafe monthly report.
Abbas scrunched his forehead cluelessly hearing Ivan's unexpected words.
“I'm serious. No matter what salary you ask I will pay. This cafe you can leave to the girl.”
Abbas shook his head, “Didn't your staff much. Just choose one of them. I've been comfortable doing my own business,” reject Abbas quickly.
“Roni too stiff. Want to choose another, I was lazy selection from the beginning. If you want, salary and bonus I will add ...” Ivan was still trying to persuade Abbas.
“I'm sorry, Van. You're the best boss. But I want to find a halal fortune. I don't want to be a mosquito repellent between you and Sandra. Especially seeing you sweating with Sandra who does not care about place and time, making my sin even more stacked.” Abbas said so.
Ivan sneered at him, “You're still young. You should have enjoyed all the facilities I have given you. If you are married, you will not be free to enjoy all these pleasures. I'll give you some of my model phone numbers that you can carry. You are free to choose which one you like. They always stand by ...”
Abbas shook his head quickly, “I don't want to mess with women. Enough Rara is the only woman who will be my companion, after a life of heaven.”
“You're old-fashioned, Roni is too jaim. There are no men to play with. Come ...” Ivan grunts unhappily, “ ... All wedding expenses including accommodation, transportation and others for honeymoon purposes will also be my responsibility. You carry yourself enough. I make sure your bride will be amazed by the wedding party you give. When else can you give a luxury that is not necessarily acceptable to the girl.”
Abbas smiled broadly at the tantalizing offer Ivan was trying to get him back to work together.
“Van, I just want to remind. Change your vision in looking at life. Try to commit. We do not know, until how long we lent the Power. There's no way you're going to live like this forever, right?”
“Which face makes you change like this. Is it because of that old-fashioned dressed girl?” Ivan was annoyed to hear the words of Abbas who was not interested in his offer, “What kind of life you will offer after the wedding with him later. Are you sure enough to rely on a cafe as small as this?”
“God willing. What matters is blessing. I want to give my wife and our children a halal fortune.” Abbas's eyes glared far away imagining the face of ayu Rara who would soon become his companion.
“Ah, you two are both stubborn. May your marriage run smoothly,” said Ivan finally relented, “When you and Roni are assistants that I can rely on. But yeah ... everything I've tried to offer you.” Ivan relented.
He realized, Abbas is a man who is firm and trustworthy. But how else, he was unable to change Abbas' desire to return to work for him.
Because his persuasion did not find the end result he got up from the chair. Unaware the clock showed at 12 p.m. Ivan was about to say goodbye, but Abbas held back his steps for lunch together. Finally they both enjoy lunch while having a light conversation about the business problems they are in.
Right at 4 pm Ivan Ferrari's car entered the yard of the luxury home of his mother's residence. The atmosphere looks lonely. He did not see the figure of Laras who used to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere in the garden behind his house. Ivan's move led him back into the living room.
“Den Ivan ... “ bi Surti the oldest assistant in the house greeted him with great joy.
“Iya, bi. Sorry I haven't been here in a long time. Which mom?” Ivan smiled kindly at bi Surti who had served in the house for decades.
“Eh, the new crown prince is nongol now. Kirain has forgotten the way home.” Laras who just came out of his room smiled sneered at his son.
Ivan did not respond to the words of his mother. He immediately hugged the middle-aged woman wholeheartedly.
Laras finally takes Ivan back to the back garden. A lot of things he wanted to talk about with Ivan and everything that was important, could not be delayed any longer.
“What's important mama wants to tell me?” ivan asked as soon as the two sat casually facing an ornamental fish pond that looked refreshing with a variety of colorful fish in it.
Barrel looked at him gently. His fingers stroked Ivan's sturdy shoulders lovingly. It was this kind of tenderness that made Ivan unable to resist every wish of his mother.
“Mama is getting older. When did you bring your future mother-in-law here. Mama also wants to hold a grandchild. Mama's friends already have many grandchildren ..”
Ivan waked. This is the kind of conversation he avoids as much as possible. He looked at his mother's face with a glance. The aura of beauty was still clearly depicted on her face which was now getting older and was eaten up by age.
“Mama don't worry, the time is definitely coming,” Ivan smiled trying to convince his mother, although he himself was not sure what he said.
Laras is now sitting upright and holding his hands tightly, “Please promise mama. At most 6 months of time that mom gave you brought your girlfriend here. Mama won't mind whoever the girl is. Mama's only desire one sees you happy in marriage ties with the girl you love.”
Love ….
Ivan's riveted. Are the feelings between her and Sandra said to be love? Everything just flows. He and Sandra are both adults who need warmth. They both take and give without any desire to curb each other's activities.
“Mama knows you already have a lover. And mama did not mind the weights, seeds and bebet of the girl. The important thing is to take it seriously. You're an adult, it's not time to play around anymore.”
Ivan nodded slowly. His lips were unable to answer Laras's words. His brain thought hard. He must be able to face and control this condition.
“If within 6 months you are unable to bring your lover come here. Then be prepared, mama will match you with the daughter of mama.” acquaintances
All the way home from his mother's house to his apartment, Ivan felt his head throbbing strongly. The Queen's word cannot be ignored. It seems that the scenario that he had been putting together all this time, slowly he had to change. And he must begin to formulate short-term and long-term plans to undergo the Queen's mandate.
