Part 23.
Arriving at the house, Mother and Papa's faces pouted each other. I understand, Papa must be jealous. The problem is how can Papa know that the man named Bayu will come to the boutique.
I accompanied Papa who was sitting in the living room, while Mother immediately went upstairs.
"Paa... what really happened?" I asked softly, holding her hand. Papa took a shaky breath, then began to tell the story.
"Actually, twice, Papa read the message from the man to Mother's cellphone. At that time Mother was in the toilet. The man always sent messages with a different number," Papa explained while rubbing his face.
"Bunda it know, if Papa reads the message on his cellphone?"
"Bunda don't know, because Papa immediately deleted the message!" he said.
"What's the message, Pa?" I asked curiously.
"It's okay, invite CLBK! Then the man wants to come to the boutique to prove his words! But your mother doesn't know!"
"That means you're not wrong, right!?"
"When Papa came to the boutique, Mother was arguing with the man, in the boutique yard! As soon as he got out of the car, Papa just punched him in the cheek!" said Papa angrily.
"Cie, Papa is jealous, here!" my joke.
"Hm, you... still have time to joke!"
"If the man is hurt and then repays Papa's actions, what will it be?"
"Yes, Papa, face it! Don't you dare play backwards!" Papa replied emotionally.
"The important thing is to be careful! If the man makes a calculation, just report it to the police, Pah!" my advice.
Soon Mother came down from upstairs, with swollen eyes like she had been crying. Papa immediately called him.
"Mom... sit here, okay!" Mother turned to us and sat next to Papa.
"I'm sorry, yes! Because I was so emotional!" persuaded Papa while kissing Mother's cheek
"Hm... are you feeling better, huh?" I taunted as I walked away leaving them in the living room.

"Now, just admit it, Wendy is your ex's son, right?" said Mother startled.
I was about to go upstairs, so curious, wanted to hear their conversation. Mbok Nah Well, who passed next door, I gave a code to be quiet.
"Do you know where the news came from?" asked Papa.
"Yesterday, Mother heard it herself when Papa was talking to Wendy!"
"That's in the past, Bund! They too have their own families."
"What if Mona or Zahra fall in love with Wendy or Indra? Does Papa want to repeat the past with them?" Mother asked firmly. Papa rubbed his face roughly, then looked at Mother.
"Are our two children, anyone in love with Wendy?" asked Papa angrily.
I was peeking behind the kitchen, so I was nervously waiting for an answer from Mother.
"Yeah, who knew it would happen like that!" Mother replied.
Hearing Mother's answer, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At first I was afraid that Mother would miss talking.
"It's enough for Sis Rossa and her mother to disturb our family! You don't want another woman to enter this family!" Mother said firmly.
I went upstairs with mixed feelings, confused and confused. Even though this heart has just blossomed, because it can be in the same office with a handsome CEO.
*****
Why is this so complicated? If Mom or Dad knew, if I had feelings for Wendy, I don't know what would happen? Should I bury this feeling deep.
I lay on the bed, thinking about what Mother said. Everyone has a past, and life must go on. Indeed, Aunt Rosa and Oma Nelly, they often just talk casually.
Now mother don't want to be silent anymore. Every time they accuse without evidence, Mother always fights and replies to their words.
Meanwhile, Brother Rey and Sis Mona don't want to interfere with their parents' problems. They prefer to live with us. Compared to his mother's family.
Derrtt... derrtt...
One message goes through the green app. It turned out to be a message from Bro Wendy, he asked me to come sooner.
"What's wrong Bro? Why don't you just call?" Incoming messages turn into phone calls
"I just met you, so I should obey these rules!"
"You can't come late. Especially when it comes to clothes, don't wear a skirt that's too short!"
"Okay- Bro," I said.
"Is there anything else you want to say, Bro?" I hope this handsome CEO says something to me.
"For now, that's all for now! Don't forget to tell your friends, okay?" remember.
"Okay, Bro! Thank you for reminding me," I said politely.
After saying hello, I ended the call. And put the phone back on the dressing table. Just now my parents were discussing the CEO issue, eh, he already called me.
*****
The first day of internship in the office, already made me emotional. Brother Wendy's assistant, Mis Silfi, told me to just do my homework. While she was sitting quietly behind the desk. Coincidentally, Wendy was out of the office on duty.
"Whose orders is this, Mis? As far as I know, Mr. Wendy didn't have any messages!" I protest.
"All right, you just do what I tell you! Your value is at stake!"
"Mis Silfi threatens me? Isn't this Mr. Wendy's office?! After all, Mis here is only an assistant, not a boss!" I said mocking him.
"You dare argue with me, huh? I'll give you a "C," she threatened.
Not long after, Arini appeared behind the door, she purposely recorded the incident, but Mis Silfi didn't know.
"Besides, why did Mis Silfi tell me to finish all of these tasks? While you sit around dressing up and playing with your cellphone?!" I protest.
Mis Silfi immediately fell silent, unable to answer my question. The files that had piled up on my desk were taken back.
"Watch out for you, don't look for attention in front of Mr. Wendy!" threatened again.
"Haa-haa, it turns out that Mis Silfi is afraid of losing her competition, huh?!" I mocked.
"Sorry, what's wrong, huh?" Arini entered my room, pretended not to know what had happened. Mis Silfi didn't answer, she left the room while nudged Arini's shoulder.
