The Three Chosen
205. Ngajak Kenalan's
That day Erik deliberately gathered his children, son-in-law and grandchildren at home because he wanted to talk about something. When all gathered Erik began to convey his intentions which had been known by Faiq and Efliya.
“ Why We collect rich gini anyway Opa..?” ask Izar.
“ Yes, it is very serious. So deg-degan nih...,” said Iyaz with a smile.
“ Sit down first and listen carefully what you want Opa sampein this yes..,” said Erik.
Hanako, Iyaz and Izar stared at each other for a moment then nodded their heads and sat down. So tight that made Hanako feel claustrophobic because she was in the middle of the twins who seemed to deliberately prank her.
“ Iiihhh. Why even so I clamped gini..,” protest Hanako to make Iyaz and Izar laugh.
“ Seriously Little Kids. Opa will talk..,” said Heru reminded to make the three stop their absurd behavior and then look at Erik.
“ Here. Opa has a big company. You also know that Opa is not young anymore. So I mean Opa, the three of you who are involved in Opa's company. No need to rush to make a decision but please think of this Opa request yes Children..,” said Erik briefly solid and clear.
Iyaz, Izar and Hanako looked back at each other. There was no smile on their faces like that.
“ Why We Opa...?” ask Iyaz.
“ Why, You are the Grandson of Opa. Naturally if Opa asks you to work in a family company right. Later if Haikal is already big he can also join the company..,” said Erik with a smile.
“ Opa will say if you can think first. But there's no harm in trying. You do not need to worry, Opa will continue to monitor your performance later.” said Faiq trying to calm Iyaz, Izar and Hanako.
“ Oh so...” said Izar while sighing with relief because he did not have to immediately serve an important position in the company owned by the opa.
“ Kalo I insya Allah ga objection Yah..,” sahut Iyaz.
“ Me too, but I have to take care of my resignation from the company where I work now Pa. And the richness took a long time tuh..,” said Hanako confused.
“ Gapapa, you take care of your resignation carefully and join Iyaz. What about Zar..?” ask Erik.
“ God willing I'm also ready for Opa. But I'm asking for time to take care of the project that I'm working on again until it's done. Can it be Opa...?” ask Izar carefully.
“ Of Course Nak. Finish the job that is your responsibility then you can join the company Kita..” said Erik with a smile.
“ Thanks Opa...,” says Izar.
“ Both Son. So find some free time so you can come to the Opa company and recognize the work environment there before you really jump in it..” pinta Erik.
“ Mmm..., what about Opa weekend..?” tanya Iyaz, Izar and Hanako.
“ Can...,” says Erik.
Faiq and Efliya were smiling to see their children ready to fulfill the request of the father. Shera and Heru seem to support their children's decisions. Farah and Erik are the happiest people who can realize their dream of bringing their grandchildren into the family business circle that has sustained the economy of their family so far.

Hanako was stepping out of the office when her phone rang. Hanako smiled when she saw the name on her phone screen. He received the call with his heart beating faster.
“ Assalamualaikum..,” greet Hanako.
“ Wa alaikumsalam Eisha's. You where...?” ask the man on the phone Hanako recognizes.
“ I just wanted out of Mas' office. Why..?” ask Hanako.
“ I picked up yes, I happen to be off again nih...,” said the man.
“ But I miss you Sha. Meeting yuk...” said the man.
“ Mmm.., tomorrow only. I'm really tired today..” Hanako said.
“ That's yes. Ok deh, met rest yes cantiikk..,” said the man across the phone to make Hanako's face red.
“ yes, thanks Mas. Assalamualaikum..,” Hanako said at the end of her sentence before ending the conversation via phone.
“ Wa alaikumsalam..,” said the man over there with a smile.
The man named Pandu seemed to shake his head with a smile. After a long chase after Hanako he was finally able to get close to the girl. But unfortunately Hanako is still tame-benign pigeon as if reluctant to welcome his love.
Pandu gets to know Hanako when she picks up her sister who happens to work in the same office as Hanako. When I first saw Hanako Pandu immediately interested. He also tried to find information about Hanako through his sister.
“ Girl whose name is Ta...?” ask Pandu on Pita the sister.
“ Oh that, his name is Hanako. Beautiful yes Mas..,” sahut Ribbon.
“ Banget. Still single or already doble.?” ask Pandu again.
“ Single Mas. But don't fuck with him. Hanako is fierce and does not mempan the same seduction gombal..,” said Pita.
“ Who wants to woo him anyway Ta. I want to jadin him My wife kok..,” Pandu said.
“ Do not scold Mas. I'm a street quarry..,” said Pita while patting her brother's shoulder.
Pandu laughed and then drove his motorbike through a crowded highway that afternoon.
Since first seeing Hanako, Pandu has increasingly picked up Pita if she happens to be off from her duties as a state servant. As Pita once said, Hanako is difficult to approach. Even so does not discourage Pandu's intention to edit it someday.
The opportunity to meet and see Hanako was indeed wide open. Unfortunately the road to getting to know Hanako seems closed and difficult. Hanako was cold and cautious of the men around her. Until finally the opportunity arrived. Pita, who is married to her lover, invites Hanako and other co-workers to attend the wedding reception.
The wedding reception that was held starting at ten in the morning in a building was running smoothly. The guide who came
since morning it was seen pacing back and forth around the guest table with anxiety. Sometimes his eyes looked at the guests who were milling around as if they were looking for something. Finally the expected arrived and it made a smile on Pandu's face rise.
Hanako, who was wearing a robe and a sky-blue hijab, looked graceful as she entered the room. Her smile expanded as some of her co-workers greeted. Then Hanako stepped in with her friends.
Pandu continued to observe Hanako until the girl stopped in front of the side door with a plate of food in her hand. Pandu knew that Hanako was looking for a chair because she was not used to eating while standing. Hanako sat on the side terrace leisurely alone while eating the food on the plate. Seeing that Pandu approached and immediately greeted Hanako.
“ Kok alone..?” tanya Pandu is friendly.
“ Ga, many people really. Just look...,” said Hanako while staring around her.
Pandu laughed at Hanako's reply while Hanako looked indifferent and continued eating without feeling uncomfortable.
“ I Pandu....,” said Pandu reached out his hand to introduce himself.
“ Yes...,” Hanako said quickly without welcoming Pandu's helping hand.
“ Only Yes..?” ask Pandu while staring at Hanako intensely.
“ Sorry, I'm not used to greeting men who are not my muhrim...,” said Hanako while standing and leaving Pandu just like that to make Pandu shake his head.
