Meanwhile, Wira sits on her office couch and reads articles about Ajeng in all the newspapers to ascertain if Ajeng's face is plastered there. Shortly after, Yuni enters to meet Wira.
“How's Ajeng? Is she okay?”
Yuni nodded. “He can't sleep all night. Maybe because the room is narrow and uncomfortable. But he loves his aromatherapy.”
“Have you left breakfast as I ordered?”
“Already, Sir. Non-spicy vegetable dish plus crackers and mineral water.”
“Thank you, Yun. I don't know what to do if there's no you.”
“Ngga trouble, Sir. By the way, I haven't seen Mr. Abdi since morning.”
“Abdi takes leave.”
“Cuti? Until when?”
“Entahlah. There is an affair that he must finish in Batang Hulu.”
“Any, usually despite Mr. Abdi's leave never turn off his phone.”
“Maybe he doesn't want to be disturbed.”
“Then, I'll excuse you, Sir.”
“Wait! If Ajeng has trouble sleeping, should you take him to sleep in the hotel? I'll prepare everything.”
“You're right. I'll pick up Ajeng now.”
“Don't now dong, sir! Bu Ajeng may still be sleeping. Later he even knew that Mr. Wira who told me to pick him up at the stop and send him aromatherapy.”
“Bener too. Yes already. Will you tell me again yah?”
“Good, Sir.I excuse me.”
**************
Feeling uncomfortable just sitting in Yuni's room, Ajeng who was used to working at eight to four, that afternoon chose to go to the public relations room. He asked to be made an invitation to the vegetable traders at the Kalijaten market to be ready to attend the meeting he and Wira will hold at their residence later tonight.
Ajeng deliberately invited them at night because the Kalijaten vegetable market operates a lot in the morning. So most new traders will be loose at night. He also deliberately chose a place in his home because he did not want to disturb the office hours that are usually completed in the afternoon. He felt the need to finish all his work before being picked up at any time by his father who might find his whereabouts through the news in various newspapers.
“Eh, no Bu Ajeng.” Rega comes and happens to meet Ajeng in the public relations room. “What do you need, Bu?”
“This Sir, I would like to request an invitation for traders on the west side of the Kalijaten market to have a casual chat at home.”
“At home? That's the number of traders a lot of money. What is not the problem of Bu Ajeng bearing the burden of his expenses alone?”
“Ngga papa Pak Rega's. I'll take care of everything. Please help me with the invitation only.”
“Rini! Please make an invitation that Bu Ajeng requested and send directly to the market manager.” Tell Rega to Rini administrative officer in the public relations department.
“Good, Sir.”
“Thank you Mr. Rega. Then excuse me.”
“Eh, Ma Ajeng!” Rega followed Ajeng out of the room.
“What's up Sir?”
“Can we talk to you for a minute?”
Ajeng finally invited Rega to chat in the lounge while drinking coffee without knowing that Wira was watching them from afar. “So, what would Pak Rega want to talk to me about?”
“Gini Bu Ajeng's. Next week we get an invitation from Batang Hulu to commemorate the national women's day. I want to ask Bu Ajeng to go with me.”
“Well, why should I? Manda is also a female activist?”
“Since the seminar, the name Bu Ajeng is very popular in Batang Hulu. Mr. Governor suggested that Bu Ajeng to be present as one of the female driving icons of Carang Sewu.”
“Sorry Mr. Rega, besides being inappropriate, I think Mas Wira will definitely object.”
“How if Mr. Wira allows. Is Bu Ajeng going with me?”
