Sensational Husband
Ninety Four
Azlan entered the dining room. Already there was a pack of Joan who first sat at the dinner table to enjoy breakfast, the typical man with a dapper appearance was climsy wearing a black coat with hair that looked wet with hair oil. Azlan pulled out a chair and sat down. He grabbed the plate with a knife and fork on it. Then he took the sandwich that was served, still warm.
“Today you have to leave for Riau for a new project. I entrust you with this. Later there will be several assistants, General Manager and crew who accompany you,” Joan said while eating breakfast. “I will not be able to rule Alexa, because there is already you as her husband.”
“Good, Sir.” Azlan had studied the project in question, which was always the topic of discussion in the office.
Joan raised her face. “Pak? So formal. You still call me Father as you were when you were my employee. Call me ‘pap’.”
“Good, Pa.”
“Hm.” Joan gulped down her juice.
“What is the General Manager can not handle the project?”
“Can. But it still has to be under your leadership and supervision. Azlan, this is a big project. And I ask you to hold it.”
“Oke.”
“Good. Where's Alexa?”
Azlan remembered that when he woke up, Alexa was still asleep. Azlan raised the sagging blanket up to the chest. He landed his lips on the woman's forehead long enough, then walked out of the room.
“Alexa is still sleeping,” Azlan replied. “Pa, Alexa in trouble.”
“What problems?”
Even his own father did not know what bad things happened to his daughter.
“He's a drug dependency,” Azlan said after a few seconds of thought.
Joan put down the glass of juice that she was just about to gulp for the second time. He scrunched his forehead for a few seconds. “What do you think needs to be done to solve the daughter problem?.”
Oh my God, Mr. Joan even asked others the solution for his only daughter. There was clearly no anxiety on his countenance, the man looked relaxed.
“Alexa should be rehabilitated.”
Joan stared at Azlan intensely. He just kept quiet.
“Ya is up to you. I'm sure you can solve Alexa's problem. If you think it's good, do it.”
Joan really entrusted all the business to Azlan. He even hands off for Alexa affairs.
“Alexa felt devastated at the passing of her mother, that's what she said.” Azlan began to open talks about the cause of the deterioration of Alexa's life. Although he knew the actions of Alexa were not justified even for any reason, but he still had to talk about the problem.
“Yes. I know it. When the lights went out, there was a robbery in this house, it looks like the robber deliberately turned off the electricity in my house. And my wife caught the robbery. Then my wife became a murder victim. Alexa, who was hiding under the bed, witnessed the murder. Yes, the tragic incident happened before the eyes of Alexa.”
Oh, so this is why Alexa is so scared of the dark. His mother was killed in front of his eyes in the dark.
“Alexa is less fond of my new wife,” continued Joan.
“Maybe it's an additional reason that becomes his life burden.”
Joan's stunned. Although his heart justifies Azlan's words, he does not want to leave his wife for Alexa.
“I'm gone. Today I'm going outside Paris.” Joan stood up.
“For business?”
“Not. My wife took me on a trip abroad. It might be a long time. You take good care of Alexa.”
“But didn't Papa tell me to go out of town to take care of the project? And this will also be a long time, how can I be near Alexa?”
Joan thought for a moment.
“How about I bring Alexa?” Azlan expressed his idea.
“Cannot. Alexa has to handle the office. You go alone.”
“Then what if anyone has malicious intentions on Alexa? isn't there a Leo who always has bad intentions for him?
“Ah, you arrange it. You just have Jacob or Idris monitoring Alexa. It's up to you.” Joan then walked away.
