“ Learn lah.” Answer Basti briefly.
“ Lah tumben learn. Usually you used to be the laziest who opened a book. Moreover the textbook.” Atma was surprised by the change in Basti's attitude which had changed greatly according to him. A few years passed it turns out that a Basti has transformed into a diligent figure.
“ Yes.. there are some events that make guwe like this.” Basti replied that suddenly his face turned sad.
“ What events?”. While gnashing his forehead, Atma continued to stare at Basti without taking her eyes off her old friend. The curious soul of Atma had already begun to rise.
It seemed that Basti let out a long sigh before starting to speak. “ It's a guwe family problem. But guwe wants to maintain the privacy of the family guwe.” Reply Basti who does not want his problem known to an Atma.
“ Okke guwe will not make you make a story of all your problems. Maybe if you are interested in making a story to guwe, guwe will be a good listener.” Said Atma showed her sweet smile to comfort her old friend.
“ Thanks you are always there for guwe. At any moment it is. Yasudah guwe wants to go home first. Excuse me.” Just as Basti got up from her seat and wanted to walk towards the exit of the room, Atma stopped her steps with a voice.
“ Wait a minute!”
“ What's up? “ Tanya Basti still with a standing position at the place earlier.
“ Lo don't go home first.” Atma's words made Basti link her eyebrows together.
“ guwe business here is done. So guwe just want to go home while waiting for the announcement from the HRD chairman.” Basti said still faithfully standing.
“ Why wait for an announcement from him? You have accepted working here.” The words of Atma made Basti silent a thousand languages on the floor he stands now. While Atma was wide towards the man who was standing staring blankly in front.”
“ Woyy!” Shouted Atma disperse Basti's daydream.
“ Lo-lo te-accepted guwe work? Why so quickly you make a decision.” He asked stammeredly while raising both his eyebrows.
“ yes.”
“ Lo don't feel sorry for guwe Ma. Guwe did not want to get the wrong secretary who would later tear down the name of your company. Don't just because of your old friend guwe, you instantly fall silent guwe without negotiating with anyone like this.” Said Basti seeing his smile. But with a force.
Atma began to stand up from the seat and move his legs towards Basti who was still smiling with force. His performance in front of Basti Atma was silent for a while while continuing to look into Basti's eyes and vice versa.
“ I very well know that smile is fake.” Inner Atma.
“ Guwe is unlikely to take rash decisions. Although in a short time Guwe is sure you can take this position well. Lo the candidate of the last secretary and automatically guwe already see the value of people – people before you enter here. And what guwe saw, your report is quite good and neatly arranged. With such a value guwe sure you can definitely reach it in earnest. "
“ In addition to intelligence, guwe also need comfort from the people around guwe. Lo it's old friend Guwe Bas, would be more comfortable if it's familiar, right? So guwe prefers you to help guwe take care of this job. Guwe sure you can.” Atma said at length with the end of his outstretched right hand firmly pulled over Basti's left shoulder, with a sincere smile on his face.
“ Thanks ya lo already trust guwe. Guwe will try.” Basti then turned his smile earlier into a grateful old smile.
“ Thank you God. You have made it easy for me now. Hopefully this can last a long time.” Inner Basti by continuing to express his gratitude.
“ Because now you have deal become private secretary guwe, start working now.” Atma Pinta,
“ And you can call guwe by the name of lo earlier. Old guwe is called ma'am. Though still holy like this“ Gerutu Atma throws his lips.
“ Trus guwe call lo what, it is not possible also guwe call you impolite like this time.” His voice chuckled little realizing his disrespect.
“ Don't worry about guwe kalik. Guwe is still the same as SMP. You call me normal if not in the office. If the office call with the lady like other employees. “ Said Atma.
“ Okke can also.”
“ Now you have to help guwe make it done in that shitty document pile. Guwe's oath is tired.” Atma pointed towards her desk with her index finger. Which rests a lot of documents and must be done lazily.
“ Okke.”
Start today Atma does not work on that stack of documents alone. His work will certainly be more relieved and looser.

She cried considering the – days with her daughter.
Ayu who listened to the words of her business partner became shocked. How could a husband kill his wife just because of a misunderstanding. The husband is not facing.
“ You calm down first. I understand your feelings are very bad. But I'm sure you have a certain intention of telling me all this. “ Say Ayu tried to calm the middle-aged man by pointing a glass filled with mineral water to gulp it down.
The middle-aged man continued his story after gulping down the mineral water Ayu had given him. “ News you have a lover has been circulating only for a short period of time, Mona. From this sad story of my son, I can only hope that no one has suffered a tragedy like my son. I promised myself. I will only remind you to find a partner who is loyal and does not memandapan yourself. I hope you find a loyal man who accepts you for who you are. “ Said the middle-aged man advising Ayu with a sad look full of sincerity.
