"Bik, please put this food in the box huh. I want to get Belle ready first" Sarah asked as she lifted Belle from the baby's seat.
"Loh, Belle was also brought in, Non? But the food hasn't finished eating."
"What's wrong, I'll bribe again at the office. Aunt please just prepare the baby porridge, I clean the body first." Sarah kept Belle in the room, although the baby protested because her meal time was interrupted.
"Belle, no matter what happens we have to be strong. Momi will try to keep you. We're going to keep it together" Sarah said, changing Belle's clothes with her eyes on the glass.
Sarah takes Belle to William's office with a bag of food. This afternoon, William did not invite her to lunch together, because he always refused. Were it not for the orders in that short message, he was also lazy to meet William's employees who looked down on him.
"Sara? Why didn't you say you wanted to come here?" William, who had just finished his meeting, was surprised to find Sarah in his room with Belle.
"You want a surprise." Sarah smiled broadly.
"You did it, I was surprised." William peeks at Sarah's head and Belle's cheeks.
"I hope you didn't do much today."
"Mm, actually I have a visit to the branch office at noon, but .. I can postpone tomorrow if you want to be accompanied."
Sarah smiled fervently, William who used to be much different from the current one. The man he married was now a gentle husband and always tried to please his wife and child.
"Don't, Wil. Stay at the branch office, they need you."
"You don't need me?" lure William while walking closer to Sarah with a mischievous smile.
"I need you to finish this meal" Sarah said as she walked around the table deliberately away from William's reach.
"Of course." William smiled faintly even though his heart was slightly disappointed by his wife's refusal.
Sarah looked at William who was enjoying lunch with a sad look. He didn't hurt this man. Even if her father was betrayed, but not because of her husband but her parents.
"You don't eat?"
"Had eaten before we got here."
"Eat again, I don't taste good eating, you see that. What was? Is it still because of the bed you still feel guilty? Don't think about it, I'm okay. If you're ready, we can start slowly." Sarah just smiled thinly not responding.
"When are your parents coming home?"
William took a deep breath before replying, "I also don't know, it seems like there they are experiencing obstacles."
"Mm, looks like a big project huh?"
"It can be said like that, I know this project is a project that is delayed quite a long time. Our company handles the bridge builders that connect the ABC area and the XYZ area. Negotiations used to be quite difficult, because the XYZ area initially did not want to easily connect with the ABC area. The XYZ area is rich in tourist sites that are still beautiful, do not want if ABC city people come and damage their area. My father and his friend, Om Anderson tried to soften the elders in the XYZ area and finally the ABC city government and the XYZ regional elders entrusted them, he said, to build bridges and manage natural resources and tourist points in the two areas," explained William at length. Sarah's chest skipped a beat faster hearing her Papa's name called.
"Now they're in XYZ?" angler Sarah.
"Only Papa and Mama continue this project. Om Anderson last year suddenly disappeared along with the loss of funds that should be used to replace the losses of XYZ residents whose settlements are in the rushes."
"Disappeared along with some funds? You mean the guy you call Om Anderson is a thief?" Sarah's voice doubled.
"Are you sure it wasn't your father who brought the money?"
William laughed, "If you want, maybe our family is infinitely rich, dear."
"Perhaps." Sarah couldn't hide her cynicism. William chuckled, he considered his wife's attitude was just a reaction of women who were sulking.
"Come on, you eat up Belle's hunt get up."
"So that Papa You and Om Anderson cooperation agreement is still ongoing?" Sarah ignored William's words. He was still curious about what happened according to William's version.
"Sure, then Papa's there now. The project has been completed 90% and has entered the final stage. If smooth, next year the connecting bridge will be inaugurated and eventually the residents of both areas will not have to turn or cross the river."
"Sure Papa you will reap great benefits from this project."
"Advantage? ...." William tilted his head in wonder. He was about to chim in on Sarah's words, but a phone call from his secretary interrupted reminding him of the time of the visit to the branch, "OK, thank you, Fir." William hung up.
"You have to go now?" guess Sarah before the guy says anything.
"You don't want to come with me? Just a minute, then after that we can take a walk." It is still hard to leave his wife and children when they rarely come to lunch together.
"Next time I'll come along if Belle's grown up and left behind."
"All right, I'll walk first. You want to wait for me to come back or you want to go home?"
"I'll just go home."
"Well, you'll go home with the office driver."
"Don't worry about us. Hurry up, you've been waiting for your employees." Sarah deftly helped her pack the scattered files.
"I go first, if there's anything call me immediately." Sarah nodded quickly. He stood at William's table, waiting for the man to come out of the room and leave him alone.
Sarah peeked out of the glass window that showed the front yard of the office. She wanted to make sure that her husband's car had gone out into the street.
His phone rang again featuring an ever-changing foreign number.
'I took him out of the office, now it's your turn. Now or not at all.'
Just a one-way conversation. Sarah was not given a chance to answer, a direct phone call was decided.
"Even William's visits to the branch were also those that were designed."
Sarah went straight to the file cabinet that she had previously found a letter of cooperation between her Papa and Papa William with the regional heads of XYZ and ABC. Does not require much energy and time, he immediately found what he was looking for.
A map full of articles of cooperation that moved into the hands of Sarah. He picked up Belle who was still asleep and ordered a taxi online. After no one was left, Sarah walked out of William's room.
Too hasty about to get into the elevator, he collides with Brenda who is about to come out, "Shi t! You have eyes!"
