Nervous
Part 17.
The feeling of a mother is true, secretly she often pays attention to me. I'm so embarrassed, I was caught harboring a crush on someone. Looks like I have to compete with Sis Mona to win the heart of a handsome CEO.
My sister already has the capital, she is already working, her appearance is attractive, her face is not as beautiful as mine. But he's had a great career in the office. You know, the son of a famous CEO alias Sultan in this city.
While I'm a student who hasn't finished college yet. The future is already in sight, because I just have to work in Papa's office, but I don't want to take advantage of that facility. He wants to work elsewhere, so he can learn independently.
"So according to Mother, what should Za do if he meets that handsome CEO?" I asked.
"Appear as you are, don't overdo it. Speak politely, don't show it at all if you like him. Sell a little bit high!" Mother replied.
"After dinner, ask your interests for an internship at his office. What are the requirements, so the conversation is not stiff!" Mother explained at length.
"Za must be nervous, because it's the first time meeting the CEO," I said.
"Hm, don't worry! There's Mom, Dad and your sister," said Mother.
"Then what should Za call the CEO?" I asked again.
"Ha-haa, to be more familiar, just call me baby beib!" Mother laughed contentedly.
"Aihh, Za is serious, Bund!" my murmur.
"Just ask Wendy, what do you want to be called, to be more polite!" Mother's advice.
"How come the CEO can cooperate with Papa's company, Bund!" I asked curiously.
"Papa said that Wendy is the son of an old friend. Accidentally met during a work visit out of town three years ago! Well, since then they have been working together. Papa uses his services as a company advisor!"
"But Papa said the CEO has his own office too, right?
"Yeah, he has a lawyer's office, his own!"
"Wow, that's great, Bund! Surely his office has employees and personal assistants too, right?!"
"Yes, of course," said Mother.
"Would you like me to be his personal assistant," I said, giggling.
"Well-ah, let's get ready! Mother is going to take a shower first! After that we go to the boutique!"
"Okay, bud!" I said.
Mother called Mbok Nah to tidy up the dining table. And we went up to the second floor to shower and clean ourselves.

An hour later, I was dressed neatly, then went downstairs. While waiting for Mother to finish, I checked the cellphone which had been vibrating continuously. As soon as you wipe the screen, you can see that there are several incoming messages in the application green color.
The unknown number sent another message. The contents of the message say, "Good morning, don't forget to have breakfast, study hard!" Hm, I'm an elementary school kid, I have to pay attention like that. This morning, it's just annoying, I mumbled.
However, who is he who often sends this message? More cowardly men who like to disturb my life. When I open the application profile, there is absolutely no photo, only the initials, "WP."
If it's a prank from the CEO in front of my house, it means he got my phone number from a member of this house, I guess so. I can't ask Mbok. Well, Mr. Dirman and one by one the members of this house.
I want to know how far he has the courage to approach me. He seriously wants to be friends or just for fun, I will follow all his games. Reading the initials of the name in the message, I'm sure it's the CEO or his younger brother who is just a prankster.
My thoughts were interrupted when Mother was standing behind me.
"Come on, Za, let's go!" She said.
"Eh-oh-yes, Mother," I replied surprised.
"Hm, it's become a habit, sitting and daydreaming!" Mother scolds.
"Hee-hee, daydreaming is the most exciting job, Bund," I said with a laugh.
I took my car keys out of my bag. Since entering college, Mother told me to use her car. So before going to campus, I had to take Mother. After returning from campus, according to Mother's request, then I picked him up to the boutique.
"Tonight, coming home from the boutique, we'll stop by the bakery, okay, Za!" Mother asked.
"You want to buy a birthday cake, huh?"
"Where is a member of our family whose birthday is. Mother wants to buy a cake for a snack tonight!" he explained.
"Aihh, I want to welcome the arrival of the prospective in-laws!" my joke.
"Haa-haa, it's called effort," replied Mother, no less gokil than me.
"Indeed we are, Mother and Son who match the way thinking," I said as I hugged Mother.
"Duhh, already in college, still spoiled with his mother!" said Mr. Dirman, security and driver at our house.
"Of course, yes, his name is my favorite child," said Mother, ruffling my long hair.
Mom and I got into the car. Mr. Dirman jogged to open the fence. After honking the horn, the car drove at a moderate speed.
This afternoon the streets looked deserted. Fortunately, the lecture was in the afternoon, so there was no traffic jam. If I go to college in the morning, Mother is often accompanied by Papa. Working in the boutique is a relaxing time, the ones who open the shop are always Mother's assistants, Sis Ayu and Sis Dina.
The turnover of the boutique every month is very good, because the name of Mother and this boutique is already well known. Mother started her business since she married Papa.
Less than half an hour, my car had arrived in front of the boutique. Before Mother came down, I kissed the back of her hand and cheek. "Be careful, Za! Don't daydream too much!" Mom remembers while stroking my hair.

Class hours this afternoon, very relaxed, not as busy as entering the morning. As soon as I heard the sound of the Asr call to prayer from the mosque next to the campus, I just realized. It didn't feel like three hours had passed so quickly, and the lesson was over.
I hastily cleaned up all the stationery on the table then walked towards the parking lot. Today, Arini doesn't have any gossip news, so I can go home quickly and pick up Mother.
To be continued ....
