The Love of the CEO of the Fridge
Desperate Asa

“Susi, why did you call Cindy? It's midnight, and tomorrow Cindy and Om Surya have to work.” Mr. Timo's voice sounded annoyed while talking to Susi. In Tama's room, there's Mr. Timo, Susi, and if Tama doesn't see wrong, Cindy.

The woman, who had previously refused to be hugged, placed a plaster of fever-lowering compresses on Tama's forehead, and helped her sit down to take medicine.

“Why didn't I call Cindy, Dad? Tama kept on delirious and mentioned Cindy's name, then said that she wanted to die.” Susi answered honestly, because she was worried about Tama's situation.

“He only has a fever, will not die. Tomorrow at most will be healthy as usual.” Mr. Timo looked at Tama, then took Susi out to accompany Mr. Surya who was sitting in the living room.

Cindy sighed looking at Tama who was back lying down. “You rest. Tomorrow if still sick, just to the doctor.” Cindy was about to move, but her hand was already drawn by Tama. The man now braced himself to sit down and ask, saying,

“Can I hug you?” Tama showed her most beautiful face.

Cindy shakes. “And I told you, for that, we should wait for Ferdi...nand.” The woman continued to call Ferdinand's full nickname so as not to make the sick angry.

“But, I'm dead. Later you regret if you have to hug me who is lifeless.” Cindy tried to hold back her laughter. Why can this man be so innocent and adorable in times of illness?

“One, you will not die. Two..” Cindy was surprised when Tama hugged her, but did not try to escape from the arms of the sick.

“Five minutes only. I beg. After that, you can go.” Cindy finally gave it up, then patted Tama's back softly like a child.

“This I counted as the sixth card, and it will only last for five minutes. Okay?” Tama nodded weakly after hearing Cindy's words, and apparently did not have to wait until five minutes for the sick to fall asleep in Cindy's arms.

After a few minutes, Cindy let go of Tama's embrace, then helped her sleep in a more comfortable position in bed.

The woman finds it hard to leave Tama, but it would be strange if she accompanied Tama all night.

Even so, Cindy could not help but kiss Tama's forehead, and whispered, “This is so that you recover quickly and sleep well. Sweet dreams, Tama-ku.”

There was no response from the sick man who was sleeping, and therefore, the woman then walked out of the room to leave to Mr. Timo and Susi.

***

Tama woke up at six in the morning, and rushed out. In the kitchen, as usual, there are already busy mothers working and gossiping.

“Timo, Your CEO's employee is up.” A mother called Mr. Timo. I was a little surprised to be called that way. She forgot, the mothers had access to information beyond intel, so there was no way she didn't know about him.

Mr. Timo walked up to Tama, then pushed her back into the room. “You rest first. Later Om get chicken porridge for you to eat.” Timo then placed the back of his right hand against Tama's forehead.

“You are not hot anymore, you can not enter the adult magazine.” Mr. Timo chuckled at his own crisp joke, while Tama pouted at Mr. Timo's unexpected words.

When Mr. Timo came in with a bowl of porridge, Tama asked quietly, “Om, may I speak?”

“Ngot can.” Mr. Timo replied coldly, but then continued with, “bercandyaaa..” . I don't know what demon possessed Susi's father.

“What did you say? Latest gossip?” Mr. Timo sat on Tama's bed excitedly.

Tama shook her head. “Not gossip, but I think, I've lost. Cindy won't be coming back to me.” The man wiped his tears with the back of his hand.

Actually, Tama was embarrassed to cry, but she was a little crybaby when sick. After all, Tama already considers Mr. Timo as his parents. 

Mr. Timo was ready to tease Tama, but abandoned the plan because he saw Tama crying. “Om wonder, how can you think like that after hugging Cindy? Hugs are less hot?”

“When I was sick first, Cindy wanted to hug me. Now then? Even using a card is difficult, where it is limited to five minutes. Cindy doesn't care about me anymore, but she's not wrong either. In addition to making mistakes, I also have nothing. What more can I offer to Cindy?” Tama whines like a child.

In his life, Tama was almost never like that. Papa and his mother want him to be strong and strong in all situations.

Therefore, Tama is forbidden to cry and complain, even when sick. Now, after being treated as a child by Mr. Timo, Tama wants to also feel confided in parents.

“Om never understand the way of mind of people like you.” Tama was surprised to hear the words of Mr. Timo who thought he would persuade lovingly.

"For people whose life motto is ‘kalo not happy, it means not ending’ like Om, Om can not understand why people like you always worry about uncertain things in the future.”

“Means Om?” Tama asked in a soft voice.

“Indeed, Cindy once said that she would never come back with you?” ask Mr. Timo.

“Cindy once said, Om. After the 24th card..” Tama's Answer is cut off by the follow-up question Mr. Timo.

“Indeed, now it's the 24th card?” Tama nodded in response. “That means, you've been worrying about things that haven't happened yet. Mr. Timo sighed, then told him, said,

“After Susi was born, her condition was not good. The doctor even doubted that Susi would live a long life. Every day, Aunt Dinda, Om's wife, cries, until her health is also disturbed. In fact, it is the word doctor, not the word God.” Mr. Timo paused for a while, then smiled for a moment to remember the face of the wife who had gone home.

“Om invites Om's wife to stop crying then, move on to loving and raising Susi with her chin raised. Om wants to love Om's child courageously, without fear of loss. At the very least, we will remember each other as parents and children who love each other, and not as parents who are afraid their children will die.” Take it seriously.

“The result? All the cries and worries at the beginning just ended up in vain. Susi grew up as a strong and healthy child, even longer surviving than the mother who worried about her.” Just keep quiet while waiting for the story to continue.

“You should also dare to love Cindy with your chin raised. Love him courageously without fear of loss. Om can't guarantee that Cindy will choose you, but Om wants you to remember Cindy as the man who loves her as much as he can, not as the man who forced you to have her.” Tama nodded in understanding.

Tama's heart feels warm with Mr. Timo's advice. Although outspoken and strange-looking and a hobby of gossiping, Mr. Timo is the kindest and wisest person he knows.

The two men's conversation suddenly comes to a halt when Susi comes in and asks the thing that makes Tama again eager to love Cindy bravely.

What, then, did Susi ask?
