The Heart of Old Menjakaka
154. Responsibility?
Tian immediately pulled the chair that was in front of Steven's desk. Without being asked, he sat down.
"I have two things with you, Stev," he said.
"Say."
Tian put the map on the table, then pushed it towards Steven. "I heard you needed a secretary again because Fira was fired. So I'm applying for a job."
Steven's forehead flinched. He took the map and opened it. It turns out that the contents are job application letters along with the conditions to become a secretary.
"Am not wrong to be my secretary?" Steven stared strangely. Obviously, it feels impossible.
"No. I really want to be your secretary."
"But why? What about Om's office? Oh... sorry, it's broke, huh?" chirped Steven while chuckling.
"No, no." Tian shook his head quickly. "My office is still safe and even more successful" he said, which somehow looks like lying in Steven's vision. "I just want to get some experience."
Steven smiled in anguish. "I rejected Om's proposal" he said without further ado.
"Why? Try checking first." Tian's face looked disappointed, he then pointed at the map that had just been placed back on the table. "All of me entered the criteria. And you also don't forget .. if I am the CEO. You should be glad that a kind boss came to want to be your secretary, Stev. Your office is sure to be more successful."
"Thank you for the offer. But I don't want to. Brother Sofyan is looking for a new secretary for me." Steven smiled mockingly, then noticed the clothes that were on the body of the man in front of him. The suit is neat, it's just tangled like it's not ironed.
Tian clucked furiously as he clenched both of his hands. Slowly he let out a rough breath. He was annoyed plus embarrassed, got that rejection. But he tried to calm down.
"Combant," he mumbled, but Steven could hear.
"What's the second business?" ask Steven. His hands were on the table and clasping each other.
"It's about Kevin." Tian took something in his pocket in his suit. Turns out it's a map too, it's just a smaller size and it's a plastic map button. He put it on the table and slightly pushed it towards Steven.
"Kevin?" Steven's forehead flinched. The name is familiar to the ears.
"Yes, Kevin the parrot. I know he's living in your house now, Stev."
"Then?" Steven took the plastic map, and opened it. There was a piece of paper that turned out to be a birth certificate. His forehead flinched.
That's Kevin's birth certificate. There is a name Kevin Kakatua male sex. Steven stared strangely at his date of birth, because his date of birth was the same as him. Here's the moon. Just not with years.
February 2, 2002. Which means Kevin is 20 years old.
"So Kevin's a bird Om?" steven looked at Tian. He also remembered that the bird did indeed belong to Tian, only that he thought it was not Tian Omnya Citra.
"Yes." Yeah." Tian nodded. "I met Kevin yesterday on the street. I've been looking for her all this time, and after I met her she said she'd stay at your house forever."
"I don't have a house, I only have an apartment."
"Maybe your parents' house. You see he said that in the house there was Papa Angga, Old Uncle Steven, Miss Beautiful and Aunt Sindi," explained Tian. The names Kevin mentioned yesterday immediately made Tian believe that it was Steven and his family.
"Then, what's the deal with me?" Steven put the deed back into the map, then put it on the table. "If Om wants to take it, just take it. He's just a pest at home and I hate him."
"He doesn't want to. He refused to stay with me again. And now I'm holding you accountable, Stev."
Steven's eye brows are linked. "Imresponsible? What responsibility? Did I impregnate Kevin?" he said confusedly. "Om crazy, huh? He's a bird and a male. I'm normal and have a wife!"
"Not responsible for impregnating her, but responsible for giving me money. Indirectly you took it from me. And in exchange you have to pay."
"Take what? I didn't take Kevin at all. I don't know why I'm suddenly home. Um don't make it up, yeah!" Steven's eyes had started to bulldoze, his emotions suddenly rising into the crown.
"But Kevin's a pet, and I've kept him since he was a baby. I want you to give me some money. Let's just say I sold Kevin!"
"I don't want to!" steven shouted with hardened jaws. Chests rumbling. "I don't intend to buy a barking bird like him! Just take it there at home! Your business is with Papa, not me!"
"But I hate him!" steven shouted even more furiously, his eyes glaring. Then glanced at the security guard and Dika who had been there since. "His father's brother Kevin from here!" command with head movement.
"Just a second!" Tian restrained his legs while being dragged by the security guard and Dika. Soon he took the two maps on the table. "Tell me where your parents are. I want to negotiate with Mr. Angga!"
"Take him to Papa's house, Dik," Steven asked his assistant. The man nodded, then pulled Tian's arm out of Steven's room.
"Basic crazy, is that so important to Kevin? Until he shamelessly asked for money?! You kere man!" swearing Steven with explosive emotions.
Suddenly, there was the sound of his cell phone ringing on the table. It was a video call from Citra.
"Eh, the Mahmud video call."
The man's eyeballs instantly sparkled and his emotions instantly melted. Quickly he also cleaned his hair, suit and tie. To always look good.
He swiped the screen of the phone, then gave a smile with a pounding heart.
"Halo Mahmud" said Steven as he looked at Citra. It was like being in the cafeteria.
"Who's Mahmud?"
"You."
"My name is Citra, Om."
"Yes, Citra. But you are Mahmud, aka Young Mamah."
"Oh .. he he he he." Imagery chuckles. "Om also Pahmud dong, huh? Young Papah. Uh, but Om's getting old."
"Why do you say I'm old? I'm young, Cit!" Steven puckered his lips. Pissed it.
"I'm kidding, Om. Om is still young, it's still a baby and doyan nyusu."
"Well, that's true." Steven's face immediately turned cheerful.

Tian got into the car, put on his seat belt and started the engine.
"How, Mas? What's acceptable?" asked Fira who was sitting on the chair beside her. Indeed the arrival of Tian with Fira and of his will as well.
The woman forces Tian to apply for a job as a secretary and asks for money to sell Kevin. To be honest Tian did not want to, it was just that he did not have the guts to refuse.
After they got married, it was true that Fira had previously thought that the Tian company was bankrupt. The man's office had even been seized by the bank for not being able to pay debts.
Now Tian works in Tegar's office, just being an ordinary employee. At first he refused, but there was no position there. There are even some employees who are being phased out. Everything happened because the company Tegar is also on the verge of destruction.
Then, Fira gave an idea and now she complies. It's just that things didn't go so smoothly.
"No, Steven's too cocky." Tian groaned in annoyance and drove. In front of his car was Dika's car, the man would show where Angga's house was.
"No, not Mas ... That image is Mas's nephew, huh? Means Mr. Steven is also a nephew-in-law of dong."
"Indeed yes. Steven and I are not familiar. We are like the enemy."
"Why?"
"Because of him .. I don't get an inheritance! I should be rich now. It's all because Citra married Steven!" Tian protruded the steering wheel of his car. Vanishing resentment and simmering emotions.
...That's the name of the destiny line, Om. 🤣 is so groove. Enjoy aja ðŸ¤...
