Since the incident Dodit caught Ardian when Chayra gave the inner provision, the man did not dare to go directly into the room Ardian again. He always knocked on the door before entering. However, during that time Chayra never appeared again in her husband's office. The shame of being discovered at that time is still imprinted to this day.
That morning, the atmosphere in the house went on as usual. Chayra is busy with her husband's needs and prepares breakfast. Although he had a maid, but he did not want to be too dependent.
The knock on the front door made Chayra stare at Bi Idah who was washing dishes in the sink. "Bi, who's visiting so early?"
"Auntie doesn't know either, Nope."
"May I ask you a favor, Aunt look ahead."
"Good, Non." Bi Idah immediately cleaned his hands to look at his master's guest.
"Who, Bi?" Chayra asked again because Bi Idah did not return to the Kitchen.
"Anu, Non, Mr. Ardian's guest. That's you, Non. He said he's Mr.'s assistant."
Chayra knitted her brows. "Woman or boy, Bi?"
"Male, Non. The person is saucy, the skin is mature, the eyes are wide, constantly. His nose is pug but the person still looks cute. Although not too white, but still cute too, Neng."
"O Allah, Bi. judges people to such an extent. Udah, Auntie made coffee for him. I'm gonna call Mas Ardian first. If for Mas Ardian Aunty make full cream milk only." Chayra shook her head as it passed. It turned out that the old Bi Idah was in the living room earlier because he paid attention to guests first. Chayra rushed to see her husband. Dodit couldn't have come this early if there wasn't any sudden business.
Chayra came down again with her husband after staying in the room for a long time as the unfinished Ardian prepared..
"Once new down." Dodit immediately protested as soon as Ardian sat in front of him.
"I was getting ready. What is it you came so early?"
"Mh... Papi you, Ar. He's in the hospital now."
"Astagfirullah, how is Papi doing now?" A surprised Ardian spontaneously asked the state of his papi.
"I don't know either, Ar. I was just asked to tell you. Ms. Renata said you were in a dispute with Mr. Sucipto. That's what makes Ms. Renata hesitant if she should call you."
"I never felt any tension. The one yesterday was just a warning to Papi not keep taking my salary."
Dodit gasped at Ardian's story. "M... You mean Mr. Sucipto took your salary, how?"
"I don't know either, Dit. The point is I don't get a salary according to my position. Even my salary last month was only forty percent that I received. I asked Mr. Randi how much salary he earned during his time as GM. When I asked Papi that. It made Papi tell me to change the money."
Dodit just listened. Comment, but don't know what to say.
Ardian breathed a heavy sigh. "Already, Dit. This need not be discussed anymore. We're going to the hospital, but we'll have breakfast. I don't usually travel before breakfast."
"You have breakfast first. I'll wait here."
"You're having breakfast too."
"Mmmm...." Dodit seems hesitant to confirm Ardian's request.
"Come on. Don't think too much." Ardian pulled Dodit's hand to go with him to the dining room.
After breakfast, Ardian said goodbye to his wife.
"M.. Mas. I want to come see Papi." Chayra looked up at her husband's eyes after kissing his hand.
Ardian was stunned for a moment. Apparently his wife heard his conversation with Dodit earlier. "Later tonight we go together. Now I'm going with Dodit to see how things are going."
"Then call me when you get to the hospital."
Dodit could only swallow his saliva looking at the husband and wife's interaction. Ardian and Chayra do look exaggerated when interacting, but it's not drama because that's how they interact.
*********
Ardian stood silently beside his Papi. Mr. Sucipto's body was filled with tools that Ardian himself did not know the name of the tool one by one. Want to get angry for not being told in the first place, but angry at who? Her mother did not feel good to contact her because of her struggle with the Papi.
"What..what made Papi come to this, Mi?" Ask the Mami without taking her eyes off her papal body.
"Mommy doesn't know either, son. Lastly, Mami only heard him angry on the phone. Mommy doesn't know who she's calling with." Ms. Renata told me with tears in her eyes. "S. When Mami went to the Balcony, Papi you were already lying on the floor. The doctor said his veins broke. And now.. Papi you're in a coma, son." Ms. Renata reluctantly could not hold back her cries.
"We pray that God will alleviate Papi's disease." Ardian pulled Bu Renata's body until it leaned against his chest. "I just hope Papi's okay, Mommy..." Ardian was crying. He drowned his face above the head of the mother.
Ardian wiped his tears after being satisfied with crying. Didn't expect his feelings to be this destructive when he saw Mr. Sucipto helpless in the ICU room. His disrespectful deeds to his Papa before this, twisted neatly in his brain memory. He took a few rough breaths while rubbing his face violently. Her papa had been like this before, but she did not feel as crushed as this moment. Maybe because Mr. Sucipto was throwing it away when it happened.
"Ar, can we go to the office now? There's a meeting this afternoon."
"I'm not going anywhere, Dit. I won't leave this place until Papi I realize."
"But Ar, this meeting is really important. We can't cancel either."
"I don't care, Dit!" Ardian looked up at Dodit in annoyance. "If you force me now, I don't want to. It's up to them to cancel the partnership or whatever. I don't want to leave Papi for now." Ardian took a deep breath while preaching. "I beg you, you understand, Dit. I can't possibly leave my Papi with this condition. I can't, Dit. I beg you to handle everything for today."
Dodit stared at Ardian. I want to say yes, but this afternoon meeting cannot be represented.
"If you can't take over this meeting, you're off the schedule until I can. You can take care of it now it's still early."
Dodit could only nod in confusion. "I. yeah. a. I'm going to the office right now." Dodit passed with doubtful steps. Still confused what he would do now. Is he really able to handle his boss's job now.
"Dit, wait..!"
Dodit turned around when he heard his name called. "What's up, Ar?"
"A... Can I ask you a favor?"
"M.. ask for help for what, Ar?"
"Please pick up my wife when you get home from the office. I can't let him come here alone."
"Well, I'll pick her up later. You don't have to worry."
Ardian smiled weakly. "Thank you, Dit." Dodit continued in his footsteps after nodding and seeing Ardian sit down again.
Along the way to the Office, Dodit kept thinking of solutions for the meeting this afternoon. To ask for help from the secretary of the Board of Directors he felt reluctant. Just seeing him he was lazy because the new secretary was too judes. But back he was at war with his own mind. This is the only way this afternoon's meeting isn't canceled. If the Secretary of Directors does not refuse to represent Ardian, he just send the results of the meeting to Ardian later.
Dodit steadied his heart to ask for help. Humans need each other. Why should I be ashamed to ask for help.
Meanwhile, Chayra's feelings began to unsettle as her husband did not let her know. Time has shown ten o'clock in the morning. Ardian leaves at seventy-thirty. Her husband should have contacted her to tell her the situation in-laws. She tried to contact her husband three times. But he did not get an answer.
"How, Non.. Can you contact me?" Bi Idah was worried to see Chayra's face.
"Mas Ardian can be contacted, Bi. But he did not answer the call. I'm just worried if anything happens to Papi. Papi's got a history of heart disease, Bi, that's what worries me so much."
"We pray for the best, Non. I hope you're okay."
Chayra could only nod in resignation. I want to go straight to the Hospital to find out about her in-laws. However, she did not want to make trouble by breaking her husband's orders.
