THE UNIVERSE IS FOLLOWING US
CHAPTER 167

"So there's a new factory opening here?" ask her husband.

"Yes, honey. So I got information there are some people who seduce people here to work with them. Promising them a great salary. According to the info I got, there are 50 people who have come there job list. And some of them are workers in our factories."

"If so you have to try hard to find new employees again. With rules that make them interested in staying with us. You still remember the work package of the Putra Nusa program first."

Juna thought for a moment. He had forgotten about the program. Probably because it's not been there for a long time.

"Remember, Mas?" Juna shakes. He really doesn't remember the program.

"Your old laptop, where?" ask Dira.

A year ago, when they were newly married. Juna still often carries a laptop that he often uses working time in Putra Nusa. Dira still remembers when there were some files of Arjuna's former work that he had to complete. Juna always asks to use his laptop. And until before Juna's accident, the laptop was still in her husband's use.

"I think he was in an accident. I remember when my mom allowed me to go home to see my dad who was critical. I brought the laptop because inside there is a cooperation file with the client. Including the old program."

"Well, so how's it? Mas I want to ask are you discussing this because you feel rivaled?" Ask Dira.

Juna doesn't feel like he's being rivalled. If indeed the surrounding residents want to enter another factory is not a problem. Even if the new factory wants to find workers is also not a problem. But compete healthily. Do not suddenly recruit employees when they are still working at PT. Bramanty. Can't they recruit people who haven't worked. The worse they had invited Tio and Ayu to work there. Everyone knows they are Bramantyo.

"I don't feel like I'm a rival, baby. But a little wonder why they come to employees who are still working with us. Why not the ones who are still unemployed? and to make matters worse they also offered to Tio and Ayu. Moreover, Ayu yesterday was determined to stay there. Because there's a friend whose name is Ambar."

"What, Mas? Amber?"

"Yes, you know. Ayu said he's on the same campus as you."

Dira certainly knows Ambar. His college friends and Tania's henchmen. Moreover, Tania used to be known to be nyinyir and have few friends. Dira remembers how Tania and Ambar spread the news about her dating Wawan. Where he said Ambar is a distant brother Wawan.

"The press was Tania's friend. They used to be very close. Where there's Tania there's Ambar. They are also known for the negative. Likes to bully people. One of them was when I was troubled because of the relationship with Wawan. Remind me when I asked for leave until mom was really excited."

"You mean they're dangerous?"

"That's what I remember in college, Mas. I don't know if Ambar is still so. But judging from this case, I'm sure Ambar is still the same as before. Mas, I have to tell Ayu to be careful with Ambar." Dira left the terrace to his in-laws' house. Where Ayu lives there.

"Dira," said Mama Salma who was babysitting her granddaughter.

"Ma, Ayu is there?"

"Dash? I think he picked up his friend. His name is Ambar. Why Dira?"

Dira couldn't possibly tell Ambar about his mother-in-law. There will be a burden on the mind. In old age, Mama Salma should enjoy quietly.

"It's okay, Ma." Dira greeted his nephew. "Hello adek pretty has a shower yet?"

"Here you go, Bude." Mama Salma imitated a childlike voice.

"city .. ueeeeee ..." Salsa chattered according to her language.

"Well, Bude's son can talk. I'm gemes to see it. I can't, Ma took Salsa home. Mama's coming along too."

"Well, Salsa want to go with Bude?"

"city .. ueeeeeee ... " Salsa stretched out her hand to move to Dira.

Jakarta, March 19, 2023.

As the car drove away from the boutique, Dawa placed Vira still unconscious in the driver's side seat. A look full of anxiety saw the girl he loved felt slumped.

Dawa was a little surprised by Panji's sudden decision. Is this just a costume off. Or there's something else. Dawa still doesn't understand all this.

"Ra, don't be like this? I'm sure Panji isn't like that? I'm sure that Panji may have had other preparations than that.

Please be aware, Cow. Adek kak Danu who megemesin"

Suddenly Vira's hand returned Dawa's hand. Such a tight grip. The grip seemed to have fear in him. Fortunately the car was not running.

"Sister .. sister .. This is my bracelet for sister. I have no gifts for my brother.

Sister ... brother why never come again. he said if there is a holiday to come here ...

Bad brother... evil sister! I hate brother!"

Dawa was stunned to hear Vira's delirium. He understood that the brother in question was himself. He understood that actually Vira must miss him a lot.

"Cow," Dawa spoke with a quiver. " Sister here, sister never breaks a promise, it's just that brother never knows where you live. My brother never knew where you were. Brother's been trying to find you. Om Irul and Padma's brother sent you letters.

Brother came when you got to grade 3 SD. It's just that brother never got a chance to see you."

Dawa was slightly startled as the car behind him started to glaze over. That's a sign that the car must go back.

Eventually the car entered the Griya Samara housing. The location of the boutique that can only take less than 30 minutes. Just intermittent with a stop at the red light and now they're almost there.

"Oh Allah, why not Dira?" Bi Inah was shocked when Dawa came to hold Vira's body that was fainting.

"Bi, where's Vira's room?" ask Dawa.

"Here, Den." Bi Inah leads and accompanies Dawa putting the girl into bed.

"Non Vira why, Den?" ask Bi Inah.

Dawa tells the story of Vira who fainted at the boutique. Bi Inah asked her why her employer's son had fainted. Dawa said that Panji canceled the engagement dress booking.

"I'm Panji's driver, I was asked to pick up Vira. Uh sorry non Vira I mean. He said he wanted engagement dress fittings. So I dropped off, so right there it turned out that Mr. Panji canceled the order." explained Dawa.

"Just cancel the order until it faints like this? it could be that non Vira's candidate had orders elsewhere." a girl's voice came hoarding their conversation.

"Uti, you do nimbrung other people's conversation" said Bi Inah who felt his son was a bit presumptuous.

"Sorry, Mom. I'm sassy. I'm just surprised, just a matter like fainting everything. Brother Naura just never fainted when Sandi fainted at their wedding. Only the drop even his parents." Uti story.

"Sorry, Yes, Den. My son is like this. He's really a ceplas-ceplos."

"It's okay, Bi." Dawa's footsteps stopped to see a small picture of Vira displayed in the nightstand.

"So I really feel that you are a cow. Forgive my insensitivity all this time."

Dawa did not see Bi Inah and Uti in Vira's room. He finally leaves Vira's room. The atmosphere of the house looks beautiful.

"Aren't you the one who used to look up to Dira?" sapa Tina when she saw Dawa coming out of Vira's room.

"What are you doing in my sister's room?" Tina asked her question again.

"I'm Pandawa. I'm Panji's personal driver. I was mandated to deliver Vira for their engagement suit fittings. But Panji did not come and cancel his order. I think Vira's in shock so fainted.

Sorry Tina, I'm sorry. My job is done to get Vira home."

Dawa left the residence of Goddess Savitri. His feet went down the stairs, long silent. Passing by the car of the Goddess who entered the gate of the house.

Dawa stood in front of the car. Greet the owner of the house with his son out of the car. A look of hatred was implied from the middle-aged woman.
