Pandu

Actually, in his heart, Pandu still doubted that Embun would accept this offer of cooperation. After all, she was still a girl, unmarried. Like it makes little sense if a girl wants to rent her womb. She got pregnant, then gave birth? Apart from that, she desperately needed the money.

Pandu imagined that if he were the girl, it would be clear that he would not want to. Even if you only rent for a few months, there is an enormous risk in it. He heard, giving birth is at stake is life. Not to mention, physical conditions will also definitely change. Is the girl ready to turn into a stretch body, so like a mother, while she is not married? What if she can't go back to being the skinny she used to be?

Oh, I don't know. I guess it's none of my business, Pandu thought.

[Sir, I'll prepare files and other things for Embun first, okay? May I go out and meet Embun later?]

Pandu tries to use Embun as an excuse to get away from work for a while. He missed his mother. In addition, cooperation in renting a womb bothers him a little. Only this time, he handled Kala and Lady's personal matters. Usually, even if it's a little personal, the focus is still on company matters. For example, giving greetings or gifts to relatives and family. All of that is usually represented by Pandu to prepare everything. They know nothing.

[Okay. No problem. Just let go of all the office work. You just focus on the Embun problem first.]

Kala gave permission to Pandu. Currently, the most important thing for Kala is about children. After all, there are still many other employees who can help with Pandu's work. He himself had asked the temporary secretary to help him in the HRD department. Kala wants Pandu to focus on the Embun problem.

Pandu drove the vehicle at a moderate speed towards his parents' house. It's been almost two weeks, and he hasn't stopped by at all. The man's work had taken up too much time. There are almost no opportunities for personal and family life.

Pandu arrived in front of a house that was quite luxurious. Not too big, but built with an elegant feel. The semi-colonial style building, dominated by black and white, looks deserted because a house of that size can only be occupied by two people. Pandu's father and mother.

"Afternoon, Mom." Pandu greeted his beloved mother who was sitting relaxed in the living room while reading a novel.

"Hi, Mama's son. How come you come here at noon?" Sinta welcomed the baby with a cheerful smile.

Pandu kissed the back of Sinta's hand, then the beautiful middle-aged woman kissed Pandu's cheeks alternately, left and right.

"Where's Daddy, Mom?" Pandu looked around, not seeing his father there.

"Usually, your papa is playing golf with his friends. The work of people who have retired, what else, right? After all, you also rarely come here, anyway. Papa and Mama so there are no friends to talk to."

"Sorry, Mom. You know what Pandu's work is like. Very busy." Pandu threw his body on the long sofa, sleeping on his back.

"Yes. I understand. Your father was also busy when he was his father's secretary. So now Mama let Papa go. Let him enjoy life after so many years of being entangled in work." Sinta lifted Pandu's head and laid him on her lap. Pandu looked at his mother with a smile. The woman really loves her only child. Her demeanor is so gentle.

"Are rich people like them always selfish, forcing whatever they want, Ma?" Pandu was often annoyed by the arbitrariness he saw. Kala is not too arrogant like that. He differed from Lady, as well as other bosses that Pandu knew.

"It is common. When humans have power, yes, they are like that, my dear. As long as they didn't miss it. For example, to kill people. Well, that's clearly crossed the line. But if it's just selfish, mmm ... I think that's how they are. Why? Are you having trouble at work?" Sinta gently stroked Pandu's hair.

"Nothing, Mom. Pandu sometimes feels sorry for some parties who have to clash with the egos of the bosses. That's all, really. If it's Pandu alone, there's never been a problem with them. So far, everything is going smoothly and fine."

Pandu doesn't lie. He had never had a problem with Kala or Lady. Occasionally there is a discrepancy, it's a natural thing. However, it was never a big problem. Of course, because he prefers to give in. After all, they were the ones who paid him. There was no way he could fight the boss himself.

"Put your empathy on the right side. Wisely observe the situation and take steps. The important thing is that your position is safe, without having to deny the ultimate truth. That's all you hold, honey." Sinta tried to calm the anxiety in the heart of her beloved child.

"Mama and Papa used to work there. Have you ever felt like me?" Pandu asked again.

Many of the Pandu family have worked in the Kala family company for a long time. Even today, some relatives still work there. The giant company owned by the Kala family, plus that of the Lady's family, is getting bigger.

Sinta recounts her experience while working at the Kala family company. She taught Pandu many tips and tricks. A mother, but arguably his senior, is also in the company.

Pandu's father and mother also used to work there. Pandu's father is Kala's father's personal secretary. When Kala initially became a leader in the company, Pandu's father also still had time to accompany him. Until it was felt that he was old enough and wanted to take a break from all the busyness of work, Pandu's father asked permission to stop working.

It is difficult to find a trustworthy personal secretary. Kala asks Pandu to be a regular secretary at the company. Pandu also accepted the offer. He was even happy because he didn't have to bother looking for a job, nor did he have to fight too hard to get an important position, instead he had been offered and presented in front of his eyes. As a bright young man, of course, he would not waste the opportunity.

Over time, Kala saw the potential and reliable ability in Pandu. Then he himself asked Pandu to be his personal secretary. So, not only take care of everything related to the company, but also personal matters. Almost all of Kala's secrets are known and held by Pandu.

Indeed, being a private secretary will get a lot of facilities and money. Salary is definitely more than adequate. Facilities as cars, apartments, as well as wherever Kala goes, certainly provide an opportunity for Pandu to taste the luxury of living as a conglomerate.

Yes, only with Kala can he freely enjoy life. Beyond that, it's very difficult. Time is running out just to take care of the boss's life.

Pandu and Kala have known each other since childhood. Although they don't see each other often, sometimes they are together when there is a company event or a private event for Kala's father. Pandu was occasionally invited by his father. Kala is also not a typical arrogant man since childhood. He is always friendly to everyone, including Pandu.

This also made Pandu accept the offer to become Kala's personal secretary. Getting a boss as humane as the current Kala is difficult. So, he didn't want to waste the opportunity.

Even if he doesn't work there for the rest of his life, at least he can collect rupiah coffers while working as Kala's subordinate. Maybe when he's had enough, he wants to find another, more relaxed job so he can enjoy life. Or maybe open your own business. That was Pandu's dream from the beginning.
