"Good morning sir" said a security guard at Anderson's headquarters as the clock ticked off at six in the morning.
"Good morning" Rich replied briefly while still walking towards the elevator. Since Richela's arrival at her parents' home a few days ago, Rich has been trying to avoid contact with the girl at home. Usually the man would leave at six in the morning and go home at ten in the evening. In the office, he spends more time indoors to avoid meeting other people, especially with Runi. He felt very ashamed when he met the girl.
"Huffffff" he threw himself on the long sofa in his study to continue his sleep being cut off because he had to leave early and go home later.
Tok Tok Tok...
"Rich, are you inside?" Raf tilted his head.
"Hemmmm" after almost two hours of sleep, he then fully realized when Raf entered his room.
"Are you leaving early in the morning again today?" Raf understands Rich's incompetence in the face of the fact that Richela is his biological daughter.
"That's how it is" Rich replied briefly.
"When do you want to keep hating Rich?" Raf asked again.
"Once" just shrugged his shoulders.
"It's up to you, I can't force it" said papa Raguel in the end.
"Yes, today we're going to the project?" the older cousin tried to divert their conversation.
"Yes" answered briefly.
"Okay, then we walk another two hours with Runi, Haris and Burhan" then the man came out of his cousin's office.
..........
"How's it going?" Raf asked one of the foremen on the field.
"Fifty percent more master" replied the foreman.
"May I check the finished results?" Raf was forced to handle all Rich's work because the man was not at all concentrated in work.
"Okay, please sir" the foreman nodded while showing the work of his men who had finished. Meanwhile Rich did not follow them and instead remained pensive on the balcony of the half-finished project. Although the balcony where he stood was so hot because of the sunburn that was overhead, but Rich did not feel it at all, he was so comfortable to linger there.
"This is my brother" Runi offered a bottle of cold drink to Rich when his survey work in a different division with Raf was completed first.
"How's brother doing?" the girl asked to open their conversation.
"Good" Rich replied briefly. He was really embarrassed to meet with Runi after the incident that happened to him. Richela's presence was like throwing away all her struggles that were trying to improve themselves in front of the girl she loved the most.
"really? but I feel like you're not okay!" said the girl while staring fixedly at Rich's chaotic face.
"Hufffff" the man just exhaled heavily.
"Don't you remember when I was fooled the other day by Greg? at that time my sister told me that my sister will always be there for me, if I need anything, then my sister will always be by my side! Well now I want to return the same remark to you brother, if you're having a hard problem, I'll always be there to help you brother!" Runi smiled sincerely.
"Runi, I am so ashamed of you, I have always done wrong and disappointed you!" Rich was embarrassed.
"No need to be ashamed, does not every human being have a mistake? including me too! the most important thing now is how do we correct that mistake and not repeat it again!" seeing how Rich had been trying to improve himself, making Runi feel sorry for everything that had befallen the man at this time.
"Are you really not mad at me?" Rich looked deeply into Runi's eyes.
"No, I don't have the right to be angry with my sister" she nodded with a smile.
"Of course you have a right, because you're the only woman who has the right to be disappointed when you see my depraved act!" indirectly Rich wants to say that he only belongs to a Runi.
"But I'm not angry yet" the girl's smile was like an oasis to Rich's arid heart and mind.
"Thank you Runi" Rich then ventured to hold Runi's hand.
"Same brother" replied the girl.
"So, don't be sad anymore, I'm sure everything will be fine!" he continued.
"He em" after a few days of restless Rich' fear that Runi would hate him even more, now his heart has started to return as usual again. Although he had not been able to accept Richela's existence in his life, but with Runi's attitude this was like lightening almost half the burden on his heart.
"Yuk ah we work again, pity Raf from yesterday alone handle everything because there is a prolonged upset like ABG children are in love!" Runi teases Rich.
"I was upset because I was afraid my love would go away like it used to!" Rich has now started to confidently respond to the talk of Runi.
"Ck, you fucking cunt! yuk ah work!" a smile once again flared over Runi, implying that the girl was really not angry at him.
"okay!" instantly also the spirit of work Rich came back, his brain like a lamp that suddenly get a high-voltage electricity to light up so brightly lit.
