Arinda, First Love

A farewell message

The path to start a new life is wide open. Arin lived his days with great zeal. Several times he came to several large companies to conduct interviews.

Although there has been no final decision on his acceptance as an employee Arin remains optimistic. He is not discouraged and remains confident that he will soon get a job that suits him.

If Arin is busy pacing for another interview with Sherina. He was busy spending his time for sightseeing and hunting culinary tours. He has not decided what steps he will take in the future.

He wants to spend his time having fun, even by himself. It was enough that he spent several years working hard to grow his business.

Despite that, he kept control remotely on people he trusted to handle all his business affairs while he was in Jakarta. It was also thought in Sherina's mind to open her angkringan branch in Jakarta.

Even though he is in a relaxed fashion and enjoying a vacation, he still will not miss things that might make him produce rupiah coffers.

Occasionally Herti come to their boarding place to visit and sometimes even to stay overnight. He always reasoned if he still misses Arin very much even though Arin has now returned to Jakarta.

Herti also persuaded Arin several times to work at the company where he works now. But Arin always refused and reasoned if he wanted to try a new atmosphere and with his own efforts.

Herti finally gave up on her wishes and tried to support whatever her best friend's decision was. If Herti is still working, the other case with Andi. He opened a photo studio, in the South Jakarta area.

Although not large, but the place is quite comfortable and crowded even though it has only opened for a few months. Previously Photography was only his hobby, when working in the office Bayu used to be he also often opened photography services for prewedding or wedding parties and other party events as a side.

But after he decided to resign from the office, suddenly he had the desire to develop his hobby. And it turns out, his efforts were not in vain and enough to make him satisfied.

He has promoted his services through social media, and many people like his work through what he posts every day. Although the income is not large enough but at least Andi is grateful that his business is full of ease.

"Her, I'm with Andi. He can easily open a photo studio like that after resign." said Arin while applying the nail on his hands.

"Yes, he's not a guess either. The first one I resigned also him." timpal Herti.

"Oh, but why the hell is the reason you guys quit the company? It's good there, you two are permanent employees too." asked Arin a little curious.

"Oh, how is that. I'm really confused, but the point is that we're both uncomfortable working in that office. Moreover, Mr. Bayu has changed completely since you left." said Herti a little carefully.

"Change how does that mean?"

"Yes he's not the usual one. His face was always cold as subordinates, and there could be no wrong bit of anger. Even the company's policies are also much changed with him. And actually there are things you don't know yet." said Herti timidly.

"It's about Mr. Satria." said Herti made Arin stop the movement of his hand for a moment.

"Why is he the same?" tanya Arin in the end made Herti a little surprised.

"In fact, not until 3 days you resign there is a big mess in the office. Mr. Satria was accused of embezzling company funds and selling important files containing company information to competitors." explained Herti immediately made Arin's hand movements stalled completely.

"Luckily, Mr. Satria has the same accurate evidence of footage of the man who deliberately trapped him in the office. He taro hidden cameras in the corner of his room, and has a recording of the conversation of people who want to slander him." explained Herti made Arin secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

However he knew and believed Satria would never do such a dirty thing in the company. Hearing Herti's explanation made him very relieved, because he knew very well Satria could not betray Bayu who was not only his boss but also his best friend.

"But what's more surprising is it know?" tanya Herti provoked a little reaction Arin.

"Why again?"

"Pak Bayu himself planned to trap Pak Satria. I don't think it out, because I know they're Bestie sticky . Even Mr. Bayu himself brought Mr. Satria to work in the company. But why until that time is slander sir Satria." said Herti make Arin back silent.

A little guilt rose in his heart. Because after all, he was convinced that Bayu's current hatred towards Satria was because of him. Though one of the reasons he left was also because he did not want to ruin the friendship between the two.

But what he thought did not happen. Bayu already hated Satria, and it was because of him. Herti also tried to resuscitate Arin from his daydream since he told about Satria Arin just silently pensive.

"It's all because I'm Her, Mr. Bayu so like that. Both relationships are ruined because of me." Arin said with sadness.

"Not that Rin, already ah you are so melow gini know that I will not tell you if you know your reaction will be sad like this." grumbled Herti.

"Some of every incident must have a silver lining. After that incident Mr. Satria resigned from the office and returned to Jogja. He was able to say goodbye to our division before leaving the company."

"And he nitipin something to get you to me, even though you're gone but Mr. Satriani says you'll come back one day." he continued, taking out a small square box.

Arin seemed hesitant to accept the item, but Herti immediately placed it in Arin's hands. He immediately said goodbye to go home, and reasoned if he already had an appointment with Andi to go somewhere.

"She said it's a farewell message for you, don't give it a hand if you meet." said Herti before actually getting out of Arin's room.

Arin was just silent while staring at the square box in his hand with a blank look. He finally ventured to open the photo, and the contents are a series of photos of Arin during a company gathering that looks laughing freely.

Arin smiled as he felt every photo he held in his hand one by one. And when he flipped over one of the photos, he saw Satria's writing as a message to him.

...Just like in this photo I hope you are always happy. Keep laughing, for your happiness will be a gift to my prayers....

Arin smiled at the writing with tears welling up. He flipped a photo again and found another.

...The happiest moment of my life was seeing happiness on Arinda's face....

Slowly but surely tears just came out of his eyes without being able to hold. Just looking at the writings of his hands alone, made a sense of longing instantly burst in his heart.

There were about 10 photos in her hand and all had their writing and messages behind them. Arin also occasionally laughs still with tears that trickle every read one by one message written by Satria in the photo.
