Unconditional Marriage
Chapter 03

"Tumben Ma, really lemes," Pram told Lia-wife who sat on the sofa in the living room. Pram when it came while carrying a glass of water. "Is there a problem at the resto?"

Lia welcomed the glass and gulped down the water until the contents inside ran out.

"There's a little bit and it's tired, Pa. Resto bias if not supervised there must be a problem, the manager ran out I fired earlier," replied Lia.

"Who is that?" ask Pram again.

"Where am I not fired. I've chosen two people's best cook, time outside. He said their cooking is not good, it is not possible while the cooks are people who have been in school in their fields for many years," said Lia. "Continue to be replaced with a child who just graduated from the school of grammar yesterday, it's strange. The food wasn't good until I was picked up by the customer."

While telling Lia a little bit of a murmur, she could still imagine how that happened at her restaurant this afternoon.

Two women nagged him saying that the cuisine at his restaurant was not good and it tasted strange, after he tasted it was true it did not taste at all, even it was not worth mentioning as high-end restaurant cuisine.

After she finished hearing the scolding and Lia apologized for the damages, Lia fired her manager along with her innate cook and asked her two new cooks to return. The problem is solved actually, but not as quickly as imagined at all.

"Yes, Ma. That's a natural thing, Mama also already knows the business world there's only problem." Pram tried to calm Lia down.

"Yes too, Pa." Lia said so. "Where's the olden, Pa?"

"Udah slept from the afternoon, when he asked for ice cream, I have bought a lot of even he slept," said Pram.

"Let him sleep, maybe he's tired all day playing with his manager" said Lia.

Lia then stood up and died Pram to go to his room to clean up, before he had a little peek at Alden's room which was never locked. He saw his 28-year-old son growing tall and handsome. However, he is not as perfect as a man should be.

From the age of a few years from his birth, doctors said that Alden had autism - which made him so special.

Alden grew up well even he was so handsome and ideal.

However, of all that Alden has his own world that no one understands. Sometimes if Alden's disease recurred he would be like a tantrum child, having a strong desire for one thing.

When he was a child until adolescence he was often angry uncontrollably can even hurt himself, but now when he was growing up he was more able to hold himself. Sometimes being reasonable and able to understand, the way of speech is also good.

After noticing Alden-sang, Lia rushed out of there to clean up, as she was already tired of all the work that took up so much of her time, but how else because he really likes business and about culinary.

Half an hour passed, about nine in the evening. Lia came out of the room to the kitchen to enjoy a late-night dinner with Pram. Pram wouldn't have eaten first if not with Lia.

Now Lia and Pram are sitting in front of the dining table, Pram who prepares it himself when they have a housekeeper, but because it is so night they do not want to disturb him.

The house assistants are old, in fact they want to lay off a long time ago, but have not found a suitable replacement.

Bi Parmi calls her domestic assistant has been working for quite a while since Alden was six years old, several times Alden changed managers, but Bi Parmi remains there.

"Alden it's time to control, isn't it, Ma?" pram asked Lia on the sidelines they ate.

"Look at Mama tomorrow if not the day after tomorrow, Mama will check her schedule," replied Lia.

"It should be more routine Ma, if it can be once a month Alden checked," said Pram. Lia nodded. "Oh yeah, Rama said he wanted to go to Africa on business for a few days, maybe he couldn't call first."

"Why? He no longer wants to build a company in the interior of the savannah, right? Of course there is still a network in the city," said Lia.

"The name's busy working together, Ma. We don't know the work ethic there. Rama did that also for his life and your Papa's company. Is that what you want?" said Pram, while asking at the end of the sentence.

Pram didn't answer Lia's words. There have been several times when we talked about Rama, Lia must have grumbled and said that she wanted Rama to return to Indonesia and live in the country of her own parents because since childhood until now 29 years old Rama was in the United States.

As the two were having a conversation while enjoying a meal that was almost midnight, Alden walked out of the room and headed straight for the kitchen, opening the refrigerator door without caring for his parents who were there.

Lia and Pram could only watch Alden who was already used to doing that. Alden seemed to have woken up because he remembered asking Pram for ice cream.

"Es cream. Alden, you want ice cream" Alden said, taking out ice cream that had been in the fridge.

"Yes, it's all Alden's ice cream, eat it tomorrow, it's this night, it's cold, you know, it's going to get a cold again" Lia told Alden.

"Es cream. Alden, want ice cream," Alden said again with the same words.

After that Alden passed away to his room carrying a few packs of ice cream that he put on his chest with both arms.

Pram and Lia can't do anything, they can't prevent it either. If they say 'no', Alden could go on a rampage and his emotions get out of control, not bothering the neighbors on nights like this. After all, Alden is not a child anymore who will get sick easily just because of an ice cream at night.

"In the near future I have work out of town, taking care of the development project there. I'm staying a few days is okay, right'?" pram said while asking and asking Lia for permission.

"How long?" ask Lia.

"Three days at most, not that long" Pram said again.

Lia nodded. "Again from before I was pregnant with your children, I was also often left alone. There's no intention of you talking to me."

"If you ask, who takes care of the house with your business, pity Bi Parmi if alone take care of Alden," said Pram.

Lia again could only nod with all of that Pram's words. If Lia hadn't done it, she couldn't have forced her to come along. Alden no one takes care, Bi Parmi is old enough while the manager Alden yesterday just resigned.

"We need to find a new manager, otherwise women, men can too?" ask Lia.

"Why?" ask Pram back.

"You see your son who has been that big, his height is higher than you, the size is almost equal to you, the female caretaker is not strong if he is tantrum again," said Lia.

"What do you do. If you want to hire someone who has a strong body, I can try the military and SLB teachers" Pram said.

"He's not training, yeah." Lia grumbled, she thought Pram was joking.

"We'll think about it later."

After Pram said that, he left the dining table, Lia cleaned it and put dirty dishes in the wash, so that Bi Parmi would take care of it tomorrow.

Then Lia catches up with Pram to get into the room and sleep. It's been quite the night they should rest themselves so that tomorrow can work better and be ready with the world that Alden has.

Pram as a father and husband must think everything carefully, fortunately Lia was so understanding and quickly understood.

Alden's situation is different from that of men in general is not anyone's fault, although he occasionally hopes his son can grow up normal and take over the Wijaya Group someday if he is gone.

However, it seems that it is quite difficult to do to see the condition of Alden so.

Rama could not replace him because in America alone he had taken care of the office owned by Lia's parents who were none other than Rama's grandfather. If it were transferred hands instead to his family it would be very dangerous for Alden and the others.
