The Man Full of Wounds
Chapter 15

"Mother I have something to talk about." Alanna said as they finished their dinner and sat back in the front seat of the television.

" What's up ? like a serious thing ." Mother turned her gaze from the television to the serious-faced Alanna.

"I was called manager this morning."

"Then ? " ask Mom, I'm starting to wonder.

"I was pulled into a central hotel in Jakarta as the head of the room section. "

"Isn't that good news ? " mom asked in surprise to hear good news from Alanna but Alanna seemed uninspired to find the news.

"Either, I'm not sure if that's good news or not." Alanna was not excited.

"What are you thinking ? what is weighing on your mind ? "

"What I think is Mom. " Said Alanna holding tightly to her mother's hand. "If I go what about Mom here ? "

"Mom's okay Alanna." Mother's words convinced Alanna. "Mother is not a child that you should worry about, Jakarta is also not far if there is a chance Mom can go there or you come here if there is time off. We can also do a video call every day so there's nothing you need to worry about, Alanna." Connect Mother.

"But Mother...."

"Nothing but but Alanna ! " Mom cuts out Alanna's words firmly. "It's a great job opportunity for you, I'll feel guilty if it's your barrier to success son. It's also good for you to replace the new environment at least the shadow of the fateful night's events that you might forget, that's what I'm hoping ."

Hearing Mother's words made Alanna's heart calm and relieved. "Well I'll take the opportunity, tomorrow I'll go to the manager to agree. " Alanna's answer made Mom smile with relief.

The next day before starting her job, Alanna decided to meet with the manager first.

Tok to tok.

Alanna knocked on the manager's door.

"Lake in ! " the voice from within.

"Excuse me sir, it's Alanna." Alanna opened the door.

"Look Alanna ." Mr. Fadli had Alanna come in and point at the chair in front of his desk. "Sit down, how's your decision coming." Ask Mr. Fadli when Alanna is sitting in her chair.

"I'll take the job sir." Alanna smiled.

"Good, that's a good decision." Mr. Fadli was relieved to hear it. "This is a great job opportunity for you, I'm very sorry that you turned down this opportunity. "

"My mother said the same thing. " Felt well with his decision. "When should I go to Jakarta ? "

"The day after tomorrow, the office will finance your trip to Jakarta. "

Obviously Mr. Fadli.

"Fine sir thank you, then excuse me for working first. " Pumpy Alanna back to the pavilion section.

Alanna surprises Gita and Ayu from behind who suddenly hugs her.

"Congratulations Alanna, you're promoted to head of the room section. " As usual, Gita is very excited.

"Yes plus on the pull to the central hotel." Ayu added.

"Ahk ! you guys are so noisy, you hear my people so bad. " Alanna looked around and people's attention was on them.

"Maybe the day after tomorrow, Fadli will tell you."

"We'll miss you for sure. " Sayu said as she hugged Alanna.

"Jakarta is not far away, if you have the opportunity to come I will definitely accompany you while there. " Alanna's promise to her two best friends.

"My mom just got to the airport, now just want to grab my suitcase. " Said Alanna while waiting for her suitcase to come out.

"Thankful is. " Mom breathed a sigh of relief this time separated from Alanna. "Have you got your suitcase ? " ask Mom.

"This just. " Alanna replied as she pushed her suitcase out to the airport exit. "So when I got off the plane there was a text coming in if there was someone waiting for me and would take me to the place I would stay while in Jakarta." Alanna said a little surprised.

"Isn't that good, Alanna was the first to arrive in Jakarta so it's very helpful." Mother said with gratitude.

"But Mother is just the head of the room section I think this facility is very excessive." Alanna.

"It can't be bad to think with people's good intentions." Reprove Mom for Alanna's attitude.

"Yes...iya..., I'm sorry, I'll call you back when I get home ?"

"She be careful on the road." Mom then disconnected the phone.

Alanna did not know who was going to pick her up, suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder from behind as she was about to call the number that sent her a message earlier, Alanna turned around and saw the middle-aged man smiling kindly at her.

"You're Miss Alanna ? " ask the man.

"Yes right I am. "

"I'm Risno who texted earlier, I'll take you." The man introduced himself.

"Just call me Alanna Mr. Risno, thanks for the ride. " Alanna smiled kindly looking at Mr. Risno who looked very shy at her.

Mr. Risno took over Alanna's luggage to the parking lot at the airport, stopping in front of a luxury sedan that Alanna did not know the brand.

"Let's go in. lads Alanna. " Said Mr. Risno opened the back door after he finished putting Alanna's suitcase in the back of the trunk of the car.

"Thank you, Mr. Risno. " Said Alanna and then got into the car and put on a seatbelt not long after the car walked away from the parking lot.

The journey from the airport to the place where Alanna will live takes approximately two hours because of rush hour so that the road will be crowded with vehicles.

They stopped in front of a tall building that Alanna did not know how high the building was, they entered and headed straight for the elevator when the elevator door closed Mr. Risno pressed the twenty button. Not long after the elevator doors opened they came out and walked through the hallway and stopped in front of door number two hundred and one.

"This is your place. " Said Mr. Risno then pressed the button on the small rectangular screen and automatically the door opened, they entered.

At first glance Alanna thought this place was very luxurious for the facilities of a room section head.

"I say goodbye, my suitcase son Alanna has been placed in front of the door of the room, if anyone wants Alanna need to be able to contact me, tomorrow morning I'll pick up Alanna's son to drive her to the new workplace, Alanna. " Said mr. Risno pamit.

"The number of Mr Risno who texted me ?' ask Alanna.

"Yes that's my number and your door code number is 121198, I'm sorry." Mr. Risno turned around and disappeared behind the door.

Alanna felt strange with the new apartment door code that was exactly the same as her birth date. "Maybe it's just a coincidence." Alanna muttered while walking around to see her new apartment that has a small kitchen bedroom and in the middle of the room there is a comfortable soft sofa equipped with a fairly wide television. Alanna then went into her room which turned out to be quite large as well with the size of the viewing bed one in the complete wardrobe and one window ornamental table that is quite wide and the bathroom is located in the room, a facility that according to alanna is quite luxurious and she feels grateful to obey her mother's words to come to Jakarta.
