A Soulmate Because of Will

Chapter 26.Gathering

Because hearing the news that Alisha did not resign, Rangga today eagerly went to the office. Early in the morning he was in his room and started his job. Shortly after, Alisha arrived.

"Again, Sir!. Is it okay?", asked Alisha as she entered her room, she asked casually as if there was no problem with Rangga before.

"For me, too, it's better. So today you can enter the office", replied Rangga casually.

"Diedar Fathan?", asked Rangga kepo.

"Yes".

"Hem".

"Why sir?".

"It's okay".

Alisha immediately sat in her workplace seat, checking Rangga's schedule and other reports. After seeing that today there are 2 meetings, he then stood up and approached the table Rangga. He told Rangga about the meeting.

"Sir, today there is a meeting schedule with Mr. Adi at Restaurant A. This meeting is to discuss the development of cooperation between our company and his company that we have agreed to in the past".

"What time is the schedule?".

"Hour 10, next we have a meeting also with the client as well, at 1 pm in hotel C".

"Yes, just get the files we need!".

"Good Sir".

As Alisha was about to return to her desk, Rangga prevented her.

"Wait!".

"What else is it, sir?", Alisha stopped and turned towards Rangga.

"I'm sorry for everything that's happened that might have made you angry".

"Once, forget it, I don't bother about that anymore. Now we are here as superiors and subordinates. I've put aside my personal affairs with my family, especially with you. We are now co-workers and also the relationship between superiors and subordinates, nothing more".

Alisha then passed to her desk, sat down in a chair and continued her work. There was a bit of pain with Alisha's words, but Rangga accepted her as long as Alisha was still working at her company and could be her secretary. From the desk where he worked, he could only look at Alisha who was busy with her work.

When the clock shows at 09:00, Alisha prepares the files to be brought, as well as Rangga who prepares to wear his great suit. Then they came out of the room, walking along to the parking lot of Rangga's car.

Rangga and Alisha left together with one car. Well, they left alone with Rangga and Rangga's car driving it. This time Rangga deliberately brought his own car without inviting Rendy to drive, because Rangga wanted to take the opportunity to be alone with Alisha.

After arriving at the parking lot, Alisha and Rangga headed to Rangga's mibil. Alisha opened the back door of the car, when she was about to enter and sit down, Rangga prevented her.

"Alisha, just sit in front. Not good to see, feel I'm your personal driver".

"No, brother, I'm sitting behind me".

"Alisha, I beg you. You yourself are the one who said that if we are coworkers, it means you should not sit in the back like a private driver and his employer".

Alisha was silent for a moment, then closed the back door again. He went to the front door and opened it, without saying much he went in and sat down and put on a seatbelt.

Likewise with Rangga, in getting into the car, sit down and install seatbelt Then start the engine of his car and drive his car to the meeting place, during the trip Alisha did not talk much, Alisha did not say much, he focused more on his phone.

During the trip, Rangga glanced at Alisha who focused on replying to the chat on her phone, occasionally she smiled while receiving a chat.

"Alisha looks so happy to reply to the chat, surely she is reading a message from Fathan", Rangga's mind.

"Ehem.. Ahem", Rangga cleared his throat intentionally to seek Alisha's attention.

Alisha turned towards Rangga.

"What's up, brother?is it?", asked Alisha.

"Yes, in a minute".

A few minutes later, they arrived at the place they were headed. Adi was waiting and booked a place. Rangga and Alisha approached Adi.

"Sorry sir, we are late" said Rangga.

"It's okay, I've only been here a few minutes" Adi replied.

"Please sit down!", Adi invited Rangga and Alisha to sit down.

"Yes sir", replied Rangga.

Alisha and Rangga sat down.

"Mr Alisha, how are you?healthy right?", asked Adi.

"Alhamdulillah healthy sir", replied Alisha.

"Just relax Mr. Rangga, don't rush. I also ordered food for the three of us, and we'll wait for my order to come".

"Wait for the order to come, we can start now. Because after this I also have another meeting sir", replied Rangga.

"Alright", replied Mr. Adi.

The three of them discussed their cooperation last time. In the middle of the discussion, the waiter came to deliver the order.

"Excuse me, sir, ma'am, here's the order", said the waiter as he placed the order on the table.

"Yes, thank you", replied Adi

And it didn't take long, finally what they discussed was finished. Because he felt everything was sorted out, Rangga intended to say goodbye to Pak Adi, but Pak Adi prevented him.

"Then I say go home sir".

"Eat and drink this first, mubadzir later!", said Mr. Adi while pointing at the food and drinks on the table.

Alisha and Rangga looked at each other, Rangga nodded his head signalling Alisha to eat the dish.

Finally they enjoyed the dish while chatting leisurely.

"Pak Rangga, if outside office hours do not need to call me sir. Just call Adi, we'll be the same age", Pinta Adi.

"Alright, Adi".

Adi occasionally notices Alisha eating, suddenly focusing on Alisha's finger.

"Alisha, is that an engagement ring?", asked Adi by pointing towards Alisha's finger.

"Yes sir, this is an engagement ring".

"Don't call me sir, just call Adi".

"Yes".

"Do you know who you're engaged to?".

"With Brother Fathan".

"Oh... Fathan who's a doctor?".

"Yes, you know?", asked Alisha.

"Don't be too formal to talk to me, just plain. You know, you just know because Fathan's Papa is a friend of my Papa. Mm... So this is what broke Fathan's heart to the point that he tasted the illicit drink?".

"Uhukis... Uhuk.. ", Rangga choked on food when he heard Adi's words.

"Sister Rangga?slowly eat it! It's a drink first!", Alisha gives a drink to Rangga.

"Pelan-pelan if eating is Rangga" said Adi with a satirical tone.

"We are both heartbroken because Alisha prefers Fathan. I think he's still single, I want to get close to him. I fell in love with Alisha when we met".

"Uhukis.. Uhuk. ", replace Alisha who choked on food to hear Adi's words. But Alisha quickly took a drink and drank it.

Alisha was shocked by Adi's words earlier, she did not expect that Adi said that in front of Rangga and herself.

"But I'm sincere that he prefers Fathan, as long as he's happy with Fathan I'm happy to see him too".

"It's done, right? If so, we want to go home", said Rangga.

Rangga deliberately bailed home to avoid Adi, he was lazy to listen to Adi's babble. More precisely he is also jealous of Adi who likes to pay attention to Alisha, Rangga is not willing to do that.

"Why rush anyway? We can talk more relaxed here", said Adi.

"Sorry, we have another meeting. Next time we can meet" replied Rangga.

Rangga and Alisha stood up from her seat, as well as Adi who stood up. Rangga and Alisha shake hands with Adi to say goodbye. Then the two of them left Adi who was still at home in that place.

Adi sat back down, only able to stare at the back of Alisha and Rangga who were getting away.

"I'd rather Alisha choose Fathan than Rangga. I wouldn't have liked it if Alisha had chosen Rangga. I don't want Rangga to get everything including Alisha. If Alisha did not choose me, so did Rangga", Adi monologued while staring at the departure of Alisha and Rangga

Meanwhile, Alisha and Rangga headed to the second location of a meeting with another company.
