The Story of the Children of the Juragan
46. Leon's Proposal
While eating Leon continues to pay attention to the movements of Salman who looks relaxed but still authoritative despite joking with his coworkers.
Somehow his heart suddenly felt dislike to see the young man sitting not far from him. He felt that the man would be his toughest rival in getting Wulan's heart.
Encouraged by that feeling, he wanted to protect what he should have.
At the opposite table, that is the table of Salman and co-workers. After they finished their meal and talked, they moved from their seats to leave the place.
Salman got up and walked ahead of them to the cashier's table to pay for the lunch.
At a glance past the Wulan table, both Salman and Wulan pretend not to know each other. But the tails of the eyes both glanced at each other even if only a little.
"Hem, that's a hard-working young man." said Daddy, who made Wulan gasp, for fear of being caught glancing at Salman.
"Who does Daddy mean?" tanya Wulan responded to her daddy's statement.
"No." Daddy pointed at the young figure standing in front of the cashier's desk.
Wulan and Leon follow Daddy's point of view and point of view, which turns out to be Salman. Instantly the girl sparkled her heart, seeing her daddy praising Salman.
'Hem, it's great that Daddy praised Brother Salman. May the next be.' Wulan prayer in the heart. Leon was unhappy that Daddy praised Salman.
"Do you know Marquez?" ask Leon lirih.
"No, just by looking at it at a glance om can tell which men are hardworking and not." replied Marquez while shaking his head. That makes Leon even more unhappy with Salman.
"How can anyone judge just looking for the first time?" denying Leon that makes Wulan not like, because it seems underestimated.
"Om has been in the business world for a long time. So memorize someone's typical."
Leon could only fall silent while snorting in annoyance. It feels free he talks a lot that cornered Salman. Not to believe in his talk, but instead Marquez denied it.
'This time Wulan agreed to what Daddy said. Salman is a hardworking person. Good for me too. Won't nyesel know him.' Inner Wulan fiery.
When Daddy was about to pay Leon to prevent it because he wanted to pay for their total meal. That's when Wulan decided to get in the car first.
Daddy Marquez thanked Leon for paying for his meal as the two walked to the car after paying for their meal. A smile rose on Leon's face at Daddy Marquez's words.
"Om, can Leon talk about something important?" leon said suddenly that made Marquez stop his steps because he was curious about the words of the young man before him. Just ask, why should ask permission all.
"What about?"
"Originally, the young man who was praised earlier knew Wulan. And because he is Wulan changed." said Leon with great emphasis that makes Marquez wjah red extinguished.
"Where do you know?"
"Through the eyes of both of them. Are you going to do something to separate them? Let Leon help."
"How?"
"Send Wulan to Holland om. Let him learn to work at Leon's papa company. If Wulan is still in Indo, chances are they will still meet often."
Marquez thought for a moment, until the strokes on his face became more visible.
He only had a child, how could he possibly separate him from his wife. His wife would not accept that.
If his wife accompanied Wulan in the Netherlands, of course he would be lonely, because he would not get rations every night.
If he came to the Netherlands, then who will take care of his company in Indo.
That made him quite angry.
"Om, om Marquez." cried Leon who woke Marquez from his daydream.
"Om think about Leon, let's get to the car. Om doesn't want Wulan to be suspicious of us." said Marquez. The two of them walked together to the car, which Wulan had been waiting for them impatiently.
