BLESSINGS OF LOVE
The Big Beauty Resto 2

"Mamah, last night Ahan sent a message. He said he'd come home in the middle of the night again but not drunk. Remember well, if he gets drunk, call Aming immediately. Let Aming drive him out later" Aming said when he contacted his mother and did not get her to talk.

"Jeez Aming, that's your papah. Please give papah a chance to change," Yu Chen tried to calm his son down.

"Mamah, Aming was a child when he was drunk and slapped, now Aming is an adult. It would not be Aming if he saw that Mamah was hurt again with him," said Aming who still keeps the wound to his father.

"Aming, who's patient son. Mamah is trying to give trust back to papah. Don't let us discourage papah," Yu Chen tried to talk to his son nicely.

"Mom, you know. He's a good-natured husband, naturally mamah defended him. But Aming is a son of mamah, until when also Aming will not want to see mamah hurt again. So please mamah also have to be open, if he is drunk and hurts mama again, tell Aming, " Pinta Aming confirmed to his mother.

Yu Chen let out a tear, he understood that his son was very dear to him. Aming had once seen himself slapped by Aliong who came home drunk until he fell down while trying to remind his husband first.

"Alright, mamah will definitely convey whatever happens. Mamah promise," said Yu Chen trying to calm the heart of his son who is always emotional when talking about his father.

"What's Lio doing?" ask his coworker Aming. He at work was called Lio by his coworkers, because his name was difficult to pronounce Erickson Liauw.

Originally calling Liauw, but because it was difficult to say so it became Lio and the call was now already fused with him.

"Ah, no. I again tell you not to respond to people who disturb me," said Aming.

"Please bro, I'm also a widow. It's true, there's something disturbing. Sometimes strange old man has smelled the ground is also still seductive nyokap me," said his co-worker.

"His name is a guy, too, bro. We also if the arrival of sexy widow customers is also happy, really. Hahahah" said Aming to his friend.

"Yes right, sexy widow aunt, a lot of money must give us great tips as long as we praise a little," Aming's friend also thinks the same.

"Hahahaha, you son of a bitch. Man-eye basket, the same as a guy who likes to seduce us," Aming threw a dirty rag into the body of his friend.

"Hahahaha, just the same. guys name also, if the girl wants well, we are resigned anyway," both laughed laugh at themselves and feel how men behave in general.

Just from the conversation there is something strange, it seems that Aming has been saying that her mother is a widow. Maybe because it was too hurt by his father's actions, so he did not want to admit that he still had a father.

Meanwhile Jimmy was enjoying a sandwich filled with sliced meat and cheese, accompanied by a glass of delicious milk shake.

He did not realize that in the front yard of Big Beauty Resto there was a luxury car parked, then down a man wearing a black suit.

The man got off with a staff member who met Jimmy yesterday on a field to be built into a college.

Jimmy was shocked when the man entered the diner with a man wearing a full suit.

"Good morning, Mr. Jimmy," said the staff member.

"Pak Bambang, um.good morning. I'm sorry I haven't had breakfast this morning," Jimmy stammered the greeting of the man named Bambang while his mouth was still chewing.

"Please continue, me and Mr. Andre will go upstairs first. Later, Mr. Jimmy will follow, well," said a staff named Bambang.

The man in a suit only nodded to Jimmy as he walked steadily towards the top floor.

Of course Jimmy immediately finished his meal as quickly as possible, then went to the toilet to wash his hands and then immediately moved upstairs.

Jimmy took a quick step towards the top floor, but in the middle of the stairs he was silent for a moment, there was a scene that made his heart become a bit inflamed.

She sees Kristy sitting next to the man in a suit while his hands embrace the man's arms and Kristy's head is also taped to his shoulder.

It really looks like a sight of lovers who look friendly and spoiled.

Jimmy sighed then continued his steps, and he reached out to the man in a suit to introduce himself.

"Sorry Mr. Andre, I have not been able to get acquainted earlier below. I'm Jimmy Maliangkay, and I'll be the one to give the presentation" Jimmy said, holding Andre's hand firmly.

"Okay, I've known you before. Later the presentation is waiting for Mr. Louis who will judge, he is on his way here," said Andre while both holding tightly Jimmy's hand.

"We just relaxed the presentation, do not need to be too tense and serious," continued Andre with a meaningful smile.

Kristy was still sitting next to Andre, and still looked spoiled to the man. Occasionally glanced at Jimmy who was also stealing glances peek at Kristy's behavior.

Jimmy doesn't know that Kristy is Andre's brother-in-law. And when Andre married Stevie, Kristy was about fifteen.

So from childhood indeed Kristy has been very spoiled to Andre, until now at the age of three heads are also still like that. Even occasionally like to ask to buy something to Andre and Stevie, such as t-shirts or shoes and the like.

Luckily all of Kristy's sisters though one mother is different and the other father is different, but all love her.

"Bontot, what are you?" suddenly a man in white like a Caucasian, and of great height climbed into the upper floor.

That guy called Kristy with a call like that.

Suddenly Kristy turned and shouted," Wooowww!!! Ando!!!!".

Kristy jumped up and hugged the man very tightly, even now her hands are hanging around the man's neck.

"Ando, when's it coming?" ask Kristy in a spoiled voice.

The man held Kristy's face and kissed her forehead, like the one who kissed her lover.

"Barusan came, from the airport directly picked up by Andre's driver and brought here," said the man with a big voice echoed authoritatively.

"I'm missing" said Kristy, taking her older brother Louis Orlando Handoyo.

Louis ruffled his sister's hair while glancing at Jimmy who had been looking at them with a look of dislike.

"Wong lanang iku ndelok mrene, koyoke seneng karo kowe. Wonge was jealous of you, dikiro I iki your boyfriend," Louis whispered in Javanese to his sister Kristy.

(That guy looks over here, it seems like he likes you. Looks jealous of you, maybe think I'm your boyfriend)

Hearing that Kristy immediately glanced at Jimmy with an annoyed look, then replied to her brother in Russian.

" (glupyy chelovek)" said Kristy while upset while glancing at Jimmy.

(Basic stupid guy)

"Hahahaha, don't be so, then turn around like, later you will be infatuated with him," seduced Louis while whispering in his sister's ear.

"Amit-amit, idiii. In the world of men, he is only. I've been going downstairs for a while, I'm going to grab some food for Ando" Kristy said, nagging.

"Yes, lasagna yeah. I miss the same lasagna that made you," said Louis, winking to his sister.

Kristy then immediately went down to prepare her sister's favorite food.

"Ando, how about we just start the meeting?" ask Andre.

"Please," answered Louis Orlando, his hand to Andre.

"Okay, good morning to noon. Sorry there was a little delay in today's meeting. Previously introduce me Andreas Cheung, I am the deputy director of PT. Margo Jaya Perkasa which is the main company of Margo Jaya group".

"Our break is engaged in the field of building construction equipment. And coincidentally today also we have the arrival of the father Louis Orlando Handoyo who is one of the directors of the subsidiary Margo Jaya group. Incidentally he is the eldest son of the main director and owner of our company, namely Mr. Sumargo Handoyo," said Andre who introduced himself and his company.

"Andreas Cheung is my brother-in-law, his wife is my second sister and Kristy is my youngest sister" Louis Orlando said.

Gleck....Jimmy gulped, he turned out to be dealing directly with one of the conglomerate families of this country.

"It turns out that what Oci said was true, Kristy's the conglomerate's son. Gosh, the address of this presentation was rejected by the Margo Jaya group," Jimmy muttered inwardly, and his face was currently a bit pale hearing the narration from Andre and Louis Orlando.

It was now Jimmy's turn to introduce himself, and be represented by Aliong.

"Good morning to Mr. Andreas Cheung and Mr. Louis Orlando and all the staff. Introduce us from CV. Maju Mandiri, just name Jefry Wiguna Liauw but more familiarly called Aliong. And this is the head of our company, Mr. Jimmy Maliangkay and the staff of Ferry," said Aliong introduced himself as well as his boss.

"According to the request of Mr. Bambang staff from the Margo Jaya group, if on land near the district will be established universities. So with this we try to submit our presentation proposal for the design of the building".

"Please excuse me, the design that will be delivered by Mr. Jimmy, is an adaptation of the building design of a Vocational School of Tourism and Hospitality that we renovated several years ago".

"We did not interfere, but because we had experience in building a school in the academic field of tourism and hospitality, then we tried to convey the approximate building and also the function of each room in the building. For more details will be immediately delivered by the father Jimmy Maliangkay," Aliong closed the opening talks.

"Where is the school?" suddenly, a woman's voice was heard and it turned out that Ivanna Romanov Handoyo's mother was on the screen of Andre's laptop monitor.

"Oh, yes this is Ivanna Romanov Handoyo's mother, landowner and chairman of the college's foundation," said Andre introduced his mother-in-law.

"Hello, greetings. I am Ivanna Romanov Handoyo, I am Louis' mother and Kristy, Andre's father-in-law. Hahahaha," said Ivanna's mother very kindly.

Jimmy and Aliong added his heart when he saw the woman. Who does not know, he is one of the leading figures in this country.

Although it comes from a foreign country, but now it has become a citizen and is also very in love with our beloved country.

"Greetings mom, it's good to know mom up close," Jimmy and Aliong say hello to Ivanna's mom, they put both hands in front of her chest to her greeting followed by Ferry.

Jimmy smiled at Aliong with teeth appearing to fill his lips, a sign he was actually very trembling because he was currently directly dealing with an important person.

"Sorry ma'am, answer the mother's question, which we made the pilot project is one of the tourism vocational high schools in the southern part of the city" Aliong also said with a forced smile.

"Oh, yes I know. I like the concept of the building, I have been there" said Ms. Ivanna kindly.

"Please convey the concept of your plan, later my son will judge," continued Ivanna's mother who was always full of smiles.

Aliong invited Jimmy to stand to deliver his presentation.

"You're Jimmy?" I asked Ivanna's mother when Jimmy started standing.

"True mom," said Jimmy.

Ivanna's mother simply nodded with a smile and her hand signaled Jimmy to continue the presentation.

Then Jimmy began delivering presentations that morning in front of Ivanna's mother, Louis Orlando and Andre.

Simultaneously, Kristy climbed up from the ground floor while bringing food for her eldest brother.

Louis was very happy to receive the food, then he listened to the presentation while eating the lasagna that his sister had just brought.

Kristy sat for a while between her eldest brother and sister-in-law, she whispered asking the two.

"Who will pay whose bills? Ko Andre or Ando?" kristy whispered as she glanced towards her two brothers.

"Hmmm, just Andre. My time, I just came," said Louis while enjoying a meal made by his sister.

Andre sighed, then replied, "Yes, I'll pay. Wh why? you're gonna want to ask for something extra, Dad".

"Hehehe, nah. Pay to my account, but add a little more. I want to buy new sports shoes" Kristy whispered with a big smile to Andre.

"Lu who sports, I who bother. So how much do I have to pay?" andre asked, blasting his lips.

"Later to chat, now just meet. I want to cook good under. I Love you are, brothers," said Kristy with a smile to her two brothers and blinked one eye.

Andre and Louis were just head bobbles, they were very familiar with Kristy's indulgence. In addition, they also feel sorry because the youngest brother at his age who has entered the head of three still does not have a partner.

Then Kristy moved towards Aliong's chair, and she seemed to whisper something into Aliong's ear.

For a moment, Aliong's eyes rounded, then he nodded and gave the code to ask permission to leave the room.

Jimmy showed me on the presentation screen, the highlights of the display from the laptop connected to the infocus, the design of the building that had been made for several days until all the teams went home every night.

Ivanna's mother seemed happy with the concept that Jimmy presented, so far there has been no architect who displays the proposal as Jimmy conveyed.

"The plan on the west side is a mini hotel and there are three types of rooms, namely standard, deluxe and suite rooms. Equipped with a mini front office, there is also a mini bar and mini cafe, the goal is to study hospitality students directly on the campus," Jimmy explained one part of the design.

"For the kitchen, it will connect with a mini restaurant on the inside of the mini hotel building," continued Jimmy.

"I love your concept, Jimmy. Amazing, the point is I'm interested. Please, any other matter I've left to Louis. I say goodbye, please Louis who will discuss the next problem. Thank you, "Ivanna's mother looks very satisfied with Jimmy's presentation.

But he is still a lot of other business, so the next Louis will handle.

"Jimmy, let me show you an estimate of the cost of building the building" Louis asked when his mother had resigned from the meeting.

"All right," Jimmy asked Ferry to continue opening the next slide.

Then the display on the presentation screen shows a row of numbers along with the name and estimated amount of use of building materials.

"Thirty-eight billion? are you not wrong?" Louis was a little surprised to see the numbers.

Andre who was sitting next to him also rounded his eyes to see the look of the figure.

"It's a temporary estimate that we can make" Jimmy replied in a bit of confusion.

"You sure you give that value?" Louis asked again.

Jimmy nodded confirming the amount he had on his proposal.

"The company previously gave a value of forty-five billion, and you now give it only that much value. What brand are you using building materials ?" ask Louis to investigate.

"We have used all building materials with the brand "DE MAR", both pipes, doors, window frames and so on. All of the brand's building materials weren't very expensive, and the materials were good" Jimmy replied as he was.

"Well, this is the guy I'm looking for. Already, I'm sure with you, means you're not the type of person who takes a lot of profit, but prioritizes the quality of work" Louis said staring at Jimmy proudly.

"What do you mean, sir?" Jimmy was confused.

"Hahahaha, you turned out to be one idea and one frequency with us. DE MAR is a product of our company, then you list the price of our products with a reasonable threshold. Prices here go up ten percent in anticipation of a market price increase, right?" Louis Orlando explained to Jimmy.

And Jimmy just an awkward smile still can't understand one hundred percent of Louis' explanation.

"Try now I ask you to show me all the photos of the building work you've done" Louis asked, still impressed with Jimmy.

Ferry, coded by Jimmy, immediately displayed photos of the building that their company had been working on for years.

"Built and irrigation like this reminds me of an old friend who died yesterday. His name is Mario, he died yesterday in an accident. The results of his work like that, neat and never disappointing," said Louis again while staring fixedly at each photo displayed on the screen.

"You mean maybe Mario Maliangkay?".

"Yes, that's his name".

"I'm his sister" said Jimmy slowly.

"Oh, you're Mario's brother? dong from earlier. If you know you're Mario's brother, no need to use any presentation".

"It's my deal, agree to work with you, Jimmy. Let's both build a campus for my mama" replied Louis with a face so happy.

"Andre, tomorrow you make a contract with Jimmy's company. And you're Jimmy, meet you tomorrow at Margo's Tower. We talk about our employment contract, then in the afternoon we go together to the location," Louis gave orders to his brother-in-law and Jimmy.

"So our presentation needs to be continued again or how, sir?" Jimmy half-believed Louis' words.

"It's okay, I understand. Enough of the presentation, now everybody come with me down. Let's just eat, my sister makes good food" Louis replied casually.

Jimmy and Ferry immediately pressed each other's palms, hand tos each other.

"Boss, this miracle. Really big business directly handled itself," said Ferry happily.

"True Fer, I didn't think. We can get a big project right out of our own hands, "Jimmy's very proud.

It was an achievement for Jimmy and his entire staff, because since the beginning of the company was founded Mario used to be almost all big projects were overflow from other companies.

Or the term in the world of contractors called sub-contract, has never purely got a project worth billions of rupiah that sweat itself.

It used to be an overflow from Mr. A and Aliong, after which both went to prison for corruption of development funds.

Then Mario collaborated again with Wildan and Danu, from their new company Mario got an abundance of work.

Sometimes Jimmy used to be sad, because Mario's company worked more tired than Wildan and Danu's company.

But it's benefited less than Wildan and Danu.

Now Jimmy feels very proud and happy, while working under the leadership of his brother first, only now he can get a job buzz worth billions of rupiah from his own hands.

It's just that Jimmy was confused, he was with Aliong at the beginning of the presentation.

But before long the presentation began, Kristy like taking Aliong downstairs and until now still not back to this meeting.

"Fer, did Ko Aliong say to you? as far as I know, he gave me a code to ask permission to come down with Kristy?" jimmy asked as he helped Ferry clean up his laptop and presentation materials.

"I don't even understand boss Jimmy, because Kristy's mother whispered something to Ko Aliong's ear. After that the two went down to the bottom until now" Ferry explained to Jimmy.

"Surprisingly, what's up?" Jimmy wondered to himself.

"Try that whispered it was my ear, I must immediately pull his shoulder and I kiss his lips," Ferry imagined that he was just whispered by Kristy.

"Ferry, it's still her brother-in-law. You want to cancel this project!" whispered Jimmy as he glared at Ferry.

Indeed, on this top floor there is still Andre who is also making sure his laptop is then cleaned by Bambang who is his assistant.

"Ups..maaf boss, may not be heard earlier," said Ferry while covering his mouth with his left hand.

"Come!!! we're going downstairs. Already awaited lunch by Mr. Louis Orlando," invited Bambang who was given an order by Andre who had just preceded to go downstairs.

"Quick Fer !!! we're looking for Ko Aliong. Where he is, just run away" grumbled Jimmy as he began to step towards the bottom floor followed by Ferry behind him.

While descending the two while glancing all over the bottom floor, and did not appear Aliong figure

at all.

The two were called by Louis Orlando to sit down at a special table provided by Kristy.

"Here you see, my brother cooks Manado. Chicken Rica, sour soup and woku fish. I said to him earlier, how dare I cook Manado. There's Jimmy, you know".

"Then he answered, Jimmy understood cooking, most of all just eating doang. Come on, prove it's true that the Manado can judge my brother's cooking, '" Louis explained while challenging Jimmy about the taste of his sister's cooking.

But Jimmy didn't answer, just laughing, and they were immediately invited to eat by Louis Orlando because he wanted Jimmy to judge his sister's cooking.

Jimmy sat in one of the chairs near Louis, then took the rice on a plate and started scooping some of the dishes on his plate.

Then Jimmy prayed before the meal, and Louis who saw it gave more value because men rarely pray before eating.

Jimmy started trying the chicken, and it tasted good on his tongue. The spiciness matched on his tongue which was indeed accustomed to spicy food.

Then he started trying my woku fish, and suddenly he felt that there was something a little strange about its taste.

Delicious but there is a little less fitting with his tongue, because woku fish is one of his favorite foods.

Then after that, Jimmy took the small bowl in front of his plate and started scooping up the sour soup.

Then he started trying it, and this one tastes so delicious it's even better than his mother's.

"How does it feel? just noticed you didn't like that woku fish," Louis apparently noticed Jimmy eating.

Of course Jimmy was surprised, and he tried to make a comment.

"Later on, I'll call Kristy first" Louis said, holding Jimmy ready to comment.

Then Louis Orlando called his sister and saw Kristy running over to her brother.

"Bontot, listen to this Manado people want to comment on your cooking," Louis said with a laugh.

"Come, Jimmy, please talk!" louis said to Jimmy.

While gulping, Jimmy tried to comment.

"Chicken rica is very good when the seasoning, sour soup fish soup let alone very good. It looks like my mamih made me lose too," Jimmy made a comment as soon as it made Kristy look happy.

"Only woku fish there is a little less," said Jimmy.

"Less what?"ask Kristy who finally asked Jimmy directly.

"Hmmm, maybe the kemiri was just fried, yeah. It should be roasted first until the new brownish is crushed mixed with other spices".

Kristy snickered at Jimmy with a frown, but in her heart confirmed what Jimmy had just said.

"One more thing, if woku fish is better to use green tomatoes or if there is no use of small cherry tomatoes. In order to make the sour taste more out and feel fresh," Jimmy gave his opinion for Kristy's cooking.

"Thank you for the advice, I'll try again" Kristy replied with a frown and returned to the kitchen.

"Hahahaha, my sister was told that. Pout but while thinking, and later if he cooks again will definitely try what you just said. Understandably she's the youngest and our age is very different," Louis laughed as he explained to Jimmy about his spoiled sister.

After eating, Jimmy wanted to go to the toilet. The toilet is located quite far from their seat, should rotate a little towards the kitchen.

And when Jimmy walked to the toilet, he saw that Soraya was sitting with a woman and a man, too

it appears that Aliong was sitting next to Soraya who was seen crying.

Deserve Aliong was not seen since, because Aliong's seat with Soraya and the two people Jimmy did not know was blocked by the kitchen.

"Ko Aliong, brother Soraya, what are you doing here?" jimmy's question made Soraya and Aliong surprised.

Soraya's eyes were swollen, and her face was filled with tears.

"Jim, where are you going?" ask Aliong.

"I'm going to the toilet, but seeing you guys is here" Jimmy said.

"You go to the toilet first, and then finish the business with them. Only after finishing will join here," said Aliong.

Jimmy nodded, then he did not ask again and immediately went into the toilet.

When Jimmy was seen coming into the toilet, Soraya said, "If I could, my husband's family wouldn't know about this".
