The Suffering of the Raised Child
Chapters 15. new CEO at Bagaskara Grub

At exactly 5 am Mahalini was ready to go to his office, all OB had to leave this morning, because it would be very busy to welcome the new CEO at the company'an Bagaskara Grub itself, he said, yes, although all employees are not curious about someone who will become their new CEO, because they all already know that the new CEO is Devano Putra Bagaskara himself.

Given that Devano is the sole grandson of the owner of the company's Bagaskara Grub.

''Neng why hunt, it is still very early, '' asked Bi Ijah to Mahalini.

''Iya Bi, in the office there is now a new CEO welcome event, so Lini should help the others in the office?'' replied Mahalini who was wearing her helmet.

''Yes already heart in the way huh neng?'' Bi ijah reminded Mahalini to be more careful, because according to him this is still too early, and of course the streets are also quiet. Fear on the road Mahalini will be intercepted by bad people, thought Bi Ijah worried.

''Assalamu'alaikum, ''' Pamit Mahalini set up his bike slowly.

''Waalaikum salam,'' replied the Aunt as she stepped into the house she lived in with Mahalini.

'Please protect neng Mahalini O Allah, keep him from distress and also from those who will do dzolim to him, ' Bi Ijah continues to pray even in his heart.

This morning Mahalini brought her own supplies to the office, because she did not want her salary cut just because of her lunch is always delicious according to Mahalini.

Mahalini accidentally woke up from 3 am just preparing breakfast and also lunch, Starting today I will learn irit, so I can save to pay tuition, and also start today, I cannot continue to depend on Papa and Farel, '' murmured Mahalini.

A few minutes later Mahalini had parked his motorbike in the parking lot of special employees, and there it has been seen other OB has begun to arrive.

''Ech you're a new kid huh?'' ask a woman of the same age as Mahalini.

''Yes, brother, can I help you?'' answer Mahalini kindly.

''You change your clothes first, and then help me clean this room. Let's finish quickly, '' he said pointing to the room that will be used to welcome his new CEO.

''Well brother,'' Mahalini rushed to the special room OB, he changed clothes after that just approached all OB who were busy with their respective workers.

All seemed very busy until the hour had shown at 9 am all the new round, all the dishes were neatly arranged on the table.

Now all the invited guests have arrived, to welcome the new CEO of the company's Bagaskara Grub.

But one of Bagaskara Grub's clients instead focused on looking at the face of Mahalini who was helping prepare drinks for the guests, somehow the person is so amazed to see the beautiful face of Mahalini which is so graceful and also interesting when seen.

''Like I've seen that woman, but where?'' muttered someone who was also quite rich.

''What's the matter Pa,'' asked the wife when she heard her husband muttering.

''No matter what, Ma, but I was like seeing someone Papa had seen before, he replied as he pointed towards Mahalini who was busy serving the guests.

The beautiful woman who was not young continued to look towards Mahalini who was serving the guests, seeing the persistence of Mahalini the woman was smitten to immediately approach Mahalini and ask her something.

''Where are you going Ma?'' ask the husband who saw his wife want to get up from her seat.

''Pa, Mama will samperin that woman. Mama also felt like she had met him, but where was it?'' replied the wife who was half standing next to her husband.

''Don't Ma, maybe the two of them just look alike, ''' Prevent it, the husband is afraid his wife instead did a strange thing in the company'an business partner.

''Sit down, anyways soon the event will be started, ''' he added trying to give understanding to his wife.

On the other hand Devano and his parents have entered the venue which will soon begin. All the employees who joined the new CEO's welcome applauded, as well as the OBs who also helped serve the guests.

Almost an hour of the event took place, eventually all the events went smoothly without a hitch.

Mahalini stares at a man, who he knows so well? and he missed it for almost a month. Mahalini shut her mouth in disbelief to see the father who was also present at this event.

''Papa,'' said Mahalini still with her shock.

''Son? why are you here, what are you doing here, replied Mr. Setiawan staring at his adopted daughter in the uniform of the company's OB Bagaskara Grub.

''Sorry Pa, Lini did not ask permission first with Papa if now working in this office, ''' Mahalini replied as she lowered her head, she did not feel good with the Father. ''Forgive Lini Pa, '' murmured again.

''What money did Papa send less,'' asked Mr. Setiawan softly, Mahalini who was asked immediately shook his head slowly.

''The money that Papa sent was enough for Lini, Lini learned to live independently and wanted to find something different by starting to work here as an OB Pa, after all, but Lini promised not to leave Lini's lecture during Lini's work, Mahalini said at length trying to explain to his Papa, so that he did not feel offended by Mahalini's remarks just now.

''Alright, as long as it does not interfere with your lecture, Papa permit you, '' Mr. Setiawan gently stroked Mahalini's back.

'The kid I found on the side of the road has grown up to be an adult and independent woman, Papa is so proud of you? and forgive Papa for not being able to protect you from Papa's wife all this time, Mr. Setiawan's mind is still stroking his daughter's back.

On the other hand there were some people looking at Mr. Setiawan who was stroking the young lady's back in front of everyone, until finally there was a whisper that said that Mr. Setiawan still likes young girls like OB in front of him.

''No doubt Mr. Setiawan is still looking at young leaves, '' his murmur can still be heard by Mr. Setiawan and also Mahalini.

''Pa?''

''Have not been listened to, you are good yes here, Papa will return to Papa's office after this event, '' muttered Mr. Setiawan slowly, muttered, so that her daughter does not think too much about the babble of the person.
