Agreement With My Two Friends

Episode 11

Sitting a 47-year-old man in a room, he was wearing only a blue shirt and leaning against a chair. The glass wall that was right behind him showed the atmosphere outside the building, he turned his chair and his eyes looked up at the sky. His face looked riled up, remembering someone who was far away there whom he had not seen for a long time.

“Mr. Hans, they've been waiting for you” said a blonde woman who stopped her daydreams (in Indonesian only gaessss)

“Alright, everything have you prepared?” ask Mr. Hans was Edo's father.

“Already Mr. Hans” replied the blonde woman.

“Good, let's get there” said Mr. Hans was soon wearing a black suit hanging behind his chair.

Nice building, some people look focused in front of the table, they seem very busy at their work.

“Sound well Ms. Grace, this is our company's last chance, if they want to cooperate with us our company will bounce back, if not.” said Mr. Hans stopped, his face looking sad.

“I understand Mr. Hans” is clearly her secretary named Grace.

“Please for this” said Mr. Hans with his hand held the door handle of a room.

Oxalino company is a company that used to grow rapidly, this company is engaged in import export services. But at present, Oxalino company seems unable to compete and almost collapsed, every month its income is only to pay the salaries of employees.

Oxalino is a branch company of R&R Corp located in New York, Oxalino company is in Orlando and currently the person in charge of Oxalino company is Mr. Hans as CEO.

Mr. Hans was the one who replaced the previous CEO, the previous CEO was fired for taking advantage of many customers. Oxalino's company name is getting worse every month. As a result, almost all customers do not use the services of Oxalino anymore and Mr. Hans came to fix all that

Name Mr. Hans was supposed to be named Handoko, a man with a hardworking soul. Handoko previously worked in Jakarta and lived there with his wife and son. Handoko has a good work ethic, his career continues to rise and is transferred to parent company R&R Corp in New York City.

Handoko himself was born in Jogja and still has blue blood, Handoko's extended family strongly opposed his marriage to his wife named Laras.

His meeting with Laras, occurred when Handoko studied at one of the famous universities in Yogyakarta. Because their marriage was not approved by the Handoko family, they finally went to the hometown of Laras which is in North Sulawesi and settled there.

Because he wanted a bigger salary, a few years later the Handoko family migrated to Jakarta, he worked in a service company, the company was named PT. Bgt Self-contained.

BGT itself is a subsidiary of R&R Corp in New York, one of the global companies engaged in services.

For several years in Jakarta, Handoko's wife had dengue fever, a very slow treatment from the hospital made his wife have to die.

They buried Laras in his hometown of Tomohon, Edo who was very small at that time had to be entrusted to Aunt Stefani in Tomohon, because the Handoko family still did not want to accept Edo at that time.

Aunt Stefani, who was still pioneering the business, did not give too much time to Edo. What's more, Aunt Stefani's clothing store business is quite far from Edo's house.

Meeting with the client for 3 hours finished, Handoko returned to his room and half lay down in his chair.

“Stay waiting for a decision from them 3 more days” murmured while burning a cigarette.

Handoko looked at her desk “How are you doing, son..?? dad like losing face to meet you.” he continued while touching a picture frame on his desk.

“Pardon dad nak” one sentence spoken from his lips.

Three years have passed since Handoko met her son Edo, the meeting only saw Edo who was lying in the hospital due to an accident.

A very short time, just one week without waiting for his son to completely recover from a head injury, he had to return to New York because the company called him, the emergency call was not without reason, R&D&R Corp appointed him CEO of Oxalino

Orlando.

Likewise with Aunt Stefani, sometimes Handoko calls her but rarely raised, the difference in time and busyness of each makes them very rarely communicate.

Handoko raises her phone, she presses a three-digit number that is connected in one of her office rooms.

“Grace, check my schedule in the next three months” Handoko told her secretary.

After ordering his secretary, he leaned his body back on the chair, his right hand holding the head. For a moment in his mind illustrated by his son Edo, Edo smiled in front of him and told him the amazing things he experienced, in his daydream he saw Edo walking on a lake, climbing a mountain, introducing his friend and even his lover.

However, it was just an imagination that would not come into being, an imagination that he made himself. There was no way Edo could afford to take himself for granted.

Warmth, kindness and cheerfulness were some of the things he never gave Edo. So, how could Edo accept it? Thought in the heart.

The phone on his desk rang, the sound of the phone rippled his daydreams and seemed to return his soul to the real world, a world full of puzzles, and a, a world that runs without being controlled by a human being and a world full of theatrics.

“Hallo Mr. Hans, sorry... Your schedule is still crowded in these two months, in the third month your schedule is not too crowded Mr. Hans” said a woman on the end of the phone.

“Alright then, can you not add the schedule in the next three months Ms. Grace?” handoko asked her secretary.

“Good Mr. Hans, your agenda for the next three months will be my close Mr. Hans”

“Ok, Thanks Ms. Grace” exciting Handoko.

Handoko sees the calendar on her desk, three months away her son is about to graduate, thinking maybe she can be by her son's side on graduation and long school holidays. But, a doubt resurfaced in his heart, this was the real world and not a world filled with his newly felt imagination.

That night the sky above Orlando was so bright, the big winter moon was so beautiful to look at. On the roadside stood a restaurant, a restaurant located close to his apartment, the restaurant served Indonesian food. Handoko is already very familiar with the owner and chef of the restaurant called “Fhuad Resto”.

“Welcome Den Mas, this menu” greet a male servant by presenting a menu to Handoko.

“Ehhh Saiful, do not need to use Den Mas, Handoko course” Handoko response while reaching for the menu offered by the waiter named Saiful.

“Hehehehe is customary Mas Han” replied Saiful politely.

“Yo do not get used to it anyway.” said Handoko who started looking for the menu she wanted.

“I want two special Teleng Fried Rice, drink one warm tea and one warm chocolate ” continued Handoko while returning the menu book to Saiful.

“Good Mas Han” replied saiful and passed towards the kitchen leaving Handoko.

A blonde haired woman was seen from the direction of the entrance, Handoko who was close to the window looked towards the woman, the steps of the woman were so very enchanting, graceful and classy, the woman was very familiar, she said, the woman was also one of the loyal fans of the two-year-old Fhuad Resto.

Handoko immediately stood up, she shifted the chair in front of her for the woman to occupy.

“Sorry Mr. Hans, I'm late to come” the woman said as she opened her Trench Coat.

Seeing that there were customers coming, Iful immediately came and took the Trench Coat owned by the woman to hang it in the place that had been provided.

“Ah... no problem Ms. Grace, the order you requested is being made” Handoko explained.

“Thank you Mr. Hans, oh well... how is your son in Indonesia?” ask the blonde woman.

“...no news for a few months, I hope he is fine there” replied Handoko while looking at the big moon that was visible from outside the window.
