Getting older

Teacher?" Rendi said quietly with a trembling voice. Either because of fear or because of the authority that radiated from the young teacher who was now in front of him.

From afar, Mr. Bayu, who had witnessed the incident, nodded his head. In his heart he recognized the greatness of the young teacher who was now his subordinate.

As for the two bodyguards who had previously been educated by Mr. Harry and fully understood the teacher's abilities, he had already predicted that problems like this would be easy for him to handle.

Next, Mr. Harry reached out to shake Rendi, a little doubtful that the young man would welcome him.

"Introducing, my name is Harry Wardana, I am the son of Grandmother Shindu Wardana, of course you are familiar with that name, right, son?" explained the handsome teacher while shaking Rendi's hand.

"Shindu Wardana? Isn't that the name of my father's adoptive parents who live in Banten?" replied Rendi in surprise.

"Yes, you are right, son. He is my father as well as your father's adoptive parent. And I am your father's adoptive brother who a month ago was asked to come to this city to help your father's work," Harry answered confidently.

"So, you're the Uncle Harry that dad told me about yesterday?" Rendi replied, starting to realize his mistake.

"That's right, son. I'm sorry, I'm so busy that I haven't had the chance to meet you at school earlier."

Rendi's two sturdy legs suddenly trembled, limp as if he could no longer support his body, until the young man fell to the ground. Rendi's hand grabbed the leg of the authoritative young teacher who was still standing.

"I'm sorry, Uncle. Please forgive this student of yours, teacher. I made a mistake and almost harmed you." Rendi begged full of regret.

"Punish Rendi as you wish, Uncle. As long as you don't report this incident to your father. Just punish Rendi, Uncle," the poor young man pleaded with tears that grew louder.

Rendi is aware that whatever steps or activities his father's subordinates and employees take must be with his approval. So he also knows that now father has heard of this which will surely punish him severely for this mistake he did.

Harry bent down, tried to grab a hand and tried to get the little thug to his feet. After he managed to get Rendi up, Harry's hands stroked his cheeks and wiped the young man's tears gently with affection.

"You're not wrong, son. Why did uncle punish you?" replied the teacher with a smile that seemed to bring peace to Rendi's soul. "Don't worry, Uncle will talk directly to your father," he added, which made Rendi a little relieved.

Suddenly the young man immediately grabbed his teacher's body, hugged him tightly as if he didn't want to let go of the hug with the sound of crying starting to subside. 'What a noble heart this man is,' he muttered to himself'.

Harry loosened the embrace of the child of his adoptive brother as well as his student at the school he had just attended. The teacher looked pityingly at this poor young man.

"It's ... never mind, son. Everything will be fine. It's just a small misunderstanding. Now you go home, okay. Let one of your father's employees take you home and after this uncle will contact your father." The wise teacher tried to calm him down and hugged Rendi again with his affection.

"Okay, Uncle. I will go home right now. Thank you and once again forgive your student's stupidity, yes," replied the young man while shaking hands and continuing to kiss the hands of the teacher and his father's brother.

"Yes, son," Harry answered briefly as his soft hand continued to rub several times the student's head.

This time Rendi said goodbye to everyone there politely, the scene was much different when the young man came earlier. Accompanied by one of his father's employees appointed by Harry, the young man insyaf walked towards his car.

Everyone looked at the latest sports car until the car sped up and out of their sight. There was silence for a moment, then they looked at each other.

"Let's continue with lunch, sorry for the restaurant employees who we booked earlier are waiting," a voice from one of Agung Bramasta's bodyguards broke the silence. Without a command, suddenly everyone on location laughed together. They continued walking to their respective cars.

In the old antique car that had been driving towards the selected restaurant, the two teachers were still silent. Only old songs can be heard from the speakers in the classic car.

"You are great, Mr. Harry. It turns out that the news I have heard so far is true and I have just witnessed it myself," said the principal, breaking the silence while looking at the handsome young teacher sitting beside him.

"Ah, Mr. Bayu can do it. It was just a coincidence that I was able to suppress my emotions and wake Rendi from his mistake," Harry replied humbly.

"It's not wrong that Mr. Agung Bramasta recommended you to join our school. At least he was able to add one more line of talented young teachers like you," Mr. Bayu chimed in and still praised his new employee.

"Never mind, Mr. Bayu. Don't discuss it again. Let's just pretend that the incident never happened. Besides, my stomach is already growling asking for this top up," replied the young teacher jokingly.

"In that case, it's the same with my stomach condition that can't be compromised anymore," said the principal, not wanting to lose his humor.

When they arrived they were in front of the designated restaurant. The car is parked neatly. The two teachers immediately rushed inside, looking for a location that had been booked by the burly man who was Rendi's father's subordinate.

With distinctive clothes and above average bodies, it was certainly not difficult for these two teachers who had just met each other to find the bodyguards who had been with them ten minutes earlier.

After finding it, the teachers were invited to sit down because the food and drinks ordered had been prepared earlier.

"We're not the old ones and don't dare to go fast, so we're a little late behind you, but my car, which is very old, can't go fast," said Pak Bayu to lighten the mood, and was greeted with laughter by all those present at the place.

On the sidelines of the meal, Harry excused himself to go to the toilet, which was agreed by everyone on the side of the table there. After coming out of the toilet, the handsome teacher did not immediately return to the group eating together.

Instead, he was seen walking towards the cashier with the intention of paying for the food and drinks that his friends and students had enjoyed there.

After arriving at the cashier's desk, Harry asked the clerk who was on duty there for the bill. The beautiful and beautiful female employee also handed Harry a bill.

Seeing the nominal written on the note, his eyes slightly bulged as if he wanted to fall out seeing so many digits listed.

'Wow... what a fantastic price? But it's okay, I still have enough money to pay this bill. Not even 10 million yet,' Harry said to himself.

"Sorry, Miss. I don't bring cash, this is using my credit card, I just paid for it," said Harry as he handed a credit card to the female employee in front of him.

"Sorry, boss, this bill has been paid by Mr. Agung Bramasta," replied the short employee without any suspicion because this restaurant is usually booked by the thugs in the greater Jakarta area.

"Ooo ... so it's been paid in full, yes, Miss," said the young teacher again to make sure.

"That's right, boss. It's been paid in full, long before you even eat the dishes that we serve," the beautiful woman explained.

"Yes, then. Thank you," Harry replied. Then walked away from the counter.

While walking towards the table, Rendi kept shaking his head. 'Indeed my foster brother Agung really has gotten older in thought. It's not in vain that my father became his spiritual guide,' he whispered to himself.
