Mr. Secretary: Destiny Bound
CHAPTER 49 – MEETING & CURHAT
The pramusaji came, delivering their orders. Indra frowned looking at the cup before him.
“Bram, I ordered hot black Americano, why am I given hot chocolate?”
“Gue knew you were sleep deprived last night. Don't drink coffee. Better just hot chocolate. If you're sleepy, you should sleep. Do not let Lu also fall for keeping 2 sick people. They rely on Lu, Ndra,” Bramasta's words are firm and contain a tone of command that does not want to be denied, typical of a Bramasta.
“Betul says Bang Bram, Bro!” Agung nodded, “If sleepy, means our body is asking for rest. Especially the eyes and brain. Instead of being forced to work and wake up with caffeine. Pity the other organs of the body, can be affected.”
Indra nodded.
“Gue was sleep-deprived last night. Alif asked to sleep with me. Request hugging. He said there had never been an adult male to hug him while sleeping. He misses being hugged. Usually when it is like that, the Mother will hug him.”
“His father used to sleep while hugging him huh?” Anton bribed a piece of red velvet cake.
Indra nodded.
“Alif story to Abay, before his father turned into a bad person, he always sleeps in his father's arms.”
“So much mercy.”
“Not long ago I slept, Abay who sleeps alone, wake me up. Request a piss..” Indra scoops his hot chocolate drink, “All I know. Uh, he asked for prayer. As I waited for dawn, I told him to go back to sleep. She asked for sleep to be hugged as well after knowing last night her brother slept hugged. Do you know what made me leave dawn?” Indra sliced chocolate ganache cake, “Abay whispered, so it was like sleeping in the arms of a male parent. I cry it. So Abay's whole life has never felt the affection of her father's touch.”
Indra was silent for a moment.
“He tells do’anya during tahajud prayers overnight.”
“Abay ask what?” ask Bramasta.
“She asked me to be their papa.”
“Tuh right!” Agung patting the table makes others jump in shock, “Lu wait what else anyway, Bang?”
“Because I'm not sure of my own feelings. To Alif and Abay, I'm obviously a darling. I don't care they're not my flesh blood but I feel they're everything to me.”
“When they are hurt verbally or physically by others I also feel pain. Unaccepting. I'm angry.”
“The incident at the school a week ago and the incident this morning near the entrance of the school building.”
“What events?” ask Anton.
Agung explained briefly to Anton.
“Video CCTV footage sent to WAG,” pinta Anton while taking out his laptop. He turned on the WA web to open a WA message from his laptop.
His hands moved quickly to make a zoom-in appearance of the incident in the car that was not clearly visible from CCTV cameras. Reduce the reflection of light and shade of trees from outside the car glass. Set lighting, color saturation and image contrast.
“Behave been so bad for moms!” Anton turned his laptop so they could see what the woman had done to Abay and Alif.
Indra and Bramasta tightened their jaws. Grand shook his head. The emotion!
“This video what else?” anton asks Bramasta who just sent a video in WAG.
“Video from TowTow. From WAG Girls B Group.” Bramasta explained.
“Cih! Very village.” Anton screeching.
“Lu know owner PT Persada Utama, Ton?”
“That's her husband? Knows. Contractor for some work. From the association of fellow architects, when the beginning stood, the work was good. Nothing is complete with his work, ” Anton's explanation makes them all pay full attention to him.
Anton opens the chat messaging app and instantly opens the WAG architect. He searched for photos related to PT Persada Utama submissions from Anton's fellow architects.
“But reportedly, there is an internal clash to make the project leaders and supervisors foreman out of Persada Utama and join Bangun Kuat. Since then, the quality of Persada Utama's work has declined drastically and tends to be carelessly worked on. Many compleins for his work.”
“When do the pimpro and foreman supervisors retreat?” Bramasta frowned.
“About a month and a half ago. Strong Wakes are still limped now as they are still new for now. But from the reports of fellow architects, their work is nice and tidy.”
“This week Mr. Boss has a meeting with Persada Utama owner,” Indra sip his drink.
“Make what?” Anton raised his eyebrows in astonishment.
“They proposed cooperation for the floor work project in Sentul, Bogor,” Bramasta nape his neck.
“At recommendation whose name Persada Utama login?”
“Fruit Lu, Ton.” Indra rubbed his face, “Gue thought it was on Lu's approval. I remember very well, the map is at the top of my table. That's why I went to Mr. Boss.”
“Ah, not really. B Group has never used such dirty methods. I never read the Persada Utama map on my desk, Boss,” Anton looked at Indra.
“Then from that I said earlier, some use dirty ways so that Persada Utama directly pass our verification. If the map was on my desk, I would definitely not have passed it, Boss.”
Speaking of work, Anton uses formal pronouns. Indra as the second person in the B Group is the boss as well.
“Later please check CCTV in the secretarial room yes Ton,” Bramasta sip ice coffee.
“Terus, Persada Utama how it goes?” Anton looked at Bramasta.
“Invitation of the meeting has been delivered by my men.” Indra looked at Bramasta again.
Bramasta placed her right index finger on the right nostril. The typical pose of thinking is Bramasta. Then he nodded for sure.
“Stay will continue. Cooperation will still be held..”
“But, Mr. Boss.”
Bramasta held Anton back from continuing with his palm.
“Trust me. I won’t make all of this will be easy for them. They have to pay what did they done to us_Trust me. I won't make it easy for them. They have to pay for what they have done to us_,” Bramasta smiled widely.
“Gue to mosquito deh.” Agung looked at the three of them, “International talks even became internal meetings B Group. I as a person Sanjaya Group feel excluded.”.
All three chuckled.
“So how did the story of the whole body organ suddenly turned into the heart of all when looking at Arini?” Bramasta blinked his eyes.
“OMG!” Anton stared at Indra unblinking, “Serious, Bro?”
Indra nodded.
Anton grimacing.
“Which is mean...Lu so hor ny when near Teh Arini?”
Bramasta and Agung gawking.
Indra's eyes widened and then hit Anton's shoulder.
“Setdah! Lu's mind was very. Have a younger sibling who is difficult to move on but his mind is very excited!”
Indra looked at Anton in annoyance.
“Gini-this I also know myself, Ton. I know my limits. Even when this morning I accidentally saw the silhouette of Arini's body being washed by the nurse from the good curtain bed Alif, I immediately hurried to turn my face.”
“Woooow!” the three compactly exclaimed while staring at Indra in amazement.
“Then after that I feel my view is a bit clunky.” Indra ruffled her hair again.
The three laughed.
“Also when the nurse asked Dinda to save back Arini's underwear because it can not be used by her.”
“So she doesn't wear anything under her hospital shirt?” Anton asked again with a plain look and tone.
Agung patted Anton's arm hard.
“Polite noah!”
“And I just nanya.”
“Kan Indra was clear earlier,” Bramasta stared anxiously at Anton.
“Gue will see his underwear. I had an auto trip this morning.. The soft black and pink thing became shadowed directly along the road earlier.”
All three are broken again.
“Secretary B Group in-ghosted blackpink!” anton's babble makes them even more riveted.
