"Hello, Stella... uhuk.. uhuk. how are you, baby" said a woman in her 50s who sounded weak through a phone call from her home country.
"Aunt Mey, are you sick? have you taken medication? what are you feeling?" cecar Stella who was worried about the condition of the aunt alone.
After her husband left cheating, Aunt Mey did not want to knit the household anymore. He's traumatized to be betrayed again.
"It's okay, honey. Aunt just drank less. O yes, congratulations on your graduation, son. Aunty is proud of you if only your father.."
"It is bi. Dad must be proud of me" he cut when he heard the stuffing of the aunt who is the younger brother of his father. His only family now.
"Ah yes. Auntie forgot, are you gonna find a job there?" asked Aunt Mey for her main purpose of contacting her beautiful niece.
"So, aunt Mey. All applications in accordance with my major require at least 2 years of experience. My experience of working part-time doesn't count. Do'a right, bi, I hope I get the best" he replied wistfully as he turned the ballpoint pen and scratched it occasionally on a blurry sheet of paper filled with writing.
"May I ask for your help only once? but if you can't auntie doesn't matter"
"Say it, bi. Aunt Mey is like my mother. I may have refused your request. Unless married" his last sentence he added with a little pause.
Aunt Mey smiled. He knew very well the wounds that his nephew had gotten were almost the same as him. And he appreciates his decision by not matching her with his officemate's son.
"It's certainly not a couple's problem, honey. Aunty just asked you to replace your aunt while looking for a replacement that really met the criteria. Auntie knows that this job is not worth your master's degree. Aunty has no energy to keep up with how her new boss works"
"You mean, I'm going back to Indonesia?"
"It's only temporary, baby. There is no contract of employment. You're free to leave whenever your aunt's replacement is in place. How's it?" there was a clear voice at the end.
"Hhh. okay. For aunt's sake" Stella accepted while bracing herself. He promised he would never be weak again. The possibility of meeting people in his past is huge.
"Thank you, baby. Aunty sent me an e-ticket for a flight later this afternoon"
tut
"What's? afternoon-hello. hello. Aunt Mey.. Aduuuh play close it. I guessed my own aunt. Hhhh. okay, the time is ready"
While sorting out the clothes he would bring, Stella took the time to search the profile of the company where her aunt worked. The name of the entire board of directors and president of directors is the main priority in recognizing prospective superiors while replacing the aunt.
"President William. hmm. This old man still has the energy to run his company. Does he have no successor?" stella's monologue rubs her index finger on her chin to judge a person's character through the face in the photo.
"From his eyes alone it had been seen that this man was a cruel man. Kasian aunty Mey. Ah. I can't cry. Now I have to prove myself to Aunt Mey that I'm stronger"
Along the way by taxi to the airport, Stella continued to read the job desc that her aunt sent her. He remembered one by one the stages of his work as well as the name of the company name and its leaders to make it easier for him to start his work. The plane is scheduled to leave at 16.50 local time (UTC+7) and takes about 17 hours of travel because it has to transit in Dubai first and arrive in Jakarta at 15.40 WIB

"Honey, you've come" greeted the aunt on the doorstep of the apartment unit. The suitcase containing Stella's clothes he put into the unit that had long been his new home after the death of his father.
"Hello, aunt Mey. Is Stella bothering you?"
"No, hon. Let's eat first. It just so happened that aunt just finished cooking"
"Auntie does know my favorite" sumringah Stella when she saw her favorite chicken opor.
"Eat a lot. Auntie knows you've had enough trouble surviving alone in a country of people"
The next day
Aunt Mey explains that her boss is a perfectionist on the order and layout of things and has slight abnormalities in her anxiety.
"You just wait inside. Aunty wants to go to the HRD room to participate in selecting prospective applicants" said Aunt Mey who hastily walked to the elevator to get down to the floor of the HRD division is located.
Stella saw every corner of the President's room that was arranged very neat.
His index finger poked a bookcase limited to his neck that turned without dust even a speck stuck there.
"ck ck ck.. even the dust was lazy to be in one room with the cruel old man" decak Stella monologue.
He then scanned the bookshelves that were almost sky high up in the room.
"Buset, this is a shelf what a ladder. High kebangetan. How do I take it?" Stella then saw a faint faint book with a title that caught her attention.
His favorite book was 'Secret Admiral'.
He then tiptoed, hoping his 5cm heels increased by 5cm again.
"Ah, ladder. There's no way people make this if they don't use supporting facilities."
Stella then went around the shelf and she found a wooden ladder that was intended to take and store books to a shelf that was far from reach.
"I don't think I'd expect a cute man to take a book on the upper shelf of the truck looking at each other's cake in the pillows drakor" still monologue while pulling the stairs that are about 50cm high.
"Huh, dapet. What I said. Where there's a cake guy" he then opened the book above the titian. Not taking him to sit.
"This book." he saw the same stain he remembered at school. Then open the back yard.
"This is a school library book"
Stella then returned the book to its original place and went down and was about to return the title. But bad, because in a hurry he dropped some books.
"Campus" he muttered.
"What are you doing?" the sound of baritone arriving was behind him.
"Ah? can you help me? do you know the order of the book? I know I was careless, this time just help me before the old man comes" he whispered, pleading and looking at the scattered books. He forgot not to memorize the sequence.
"Old man's man?"
