BETWEEN THE CEO AND THE MAFIA

Meet Irgi

Drr... Drr...

Prita's phone rang. Soon he took it out of the clutch. Phone from Ayash.

"Hello." he said.

"Where are you?"

Prita circulated his gaze while looking around for Ayash's figure, "I'm at the food stand"

"Wait there."

Prita re-inserted her phone after the phone connection was cut off.

"Who?" tanya Raya's.

"Buy."

Moments later, they saw Ayash walking over.

"Come with me, there's someone who wants to see you." Take Ayash, "You're coming, Ray!"

Prita and Raya looked at each other, trying to communicate with the eyes. But neither one understands. Ayash pulls Prita's hand. Raya follows.

Arriving at the group of several men tie in, they stop. When someone looked at him, Prita was shocked and incredulous.

"Irgi!" yells.

The man smiled, "Prita.... "

Both of them immediately embraced. There is happiness felt by the two friends who have not met for a long time.

"Here, his embrace should not be long." muttered Ayash while forcibly pulling Prita's hand and hugging her possessive waist.

Irgi squinted, "Why, Yash? Prita is also my best friend. I really like him."

"I miss you too, Irgi." Prita is still excited to meet his old friend.

"Prita's my boyfriend now, don't fuck around!" Ayash was jealous.

"Hahaha.okay, okay... I'm not going to take Prita. But seriously, I miss Prita. With you too, Yash."

"What's up?" ask Prita who is still in Ayash's possessiveness.

"Good, Ta. You how?"

"I'm good too. Is your school done?"

"Not yet. I want to continue S3 there. So, maybe I'll be there a few more years. I came home on vacation and happened to be told by my father to replace him to come here."

"Ah, yes. This is Raya, our High School friend also even though the class is different."

Raya smiled, she reached out to shake hands.

Irgi returned the handshake, "You... Raya who used to be in class with Raeka, huh?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Lho, do you know Raya, Ir?" ask Prita wonder. He only knew Raya when in Kindergarten, previously did not know that they were one school.

"Hahaha, I used to look for Raeka in her class. Memorize all his friends."

"Irgi.

Everyone looked towards Raeka who was already standing there. Tears seemed to drip down his cheeks. He immediately ran to hug Irgi with sobbing. Many people seem curious about the situation. Irgi also looks surprised because suddenly Raeka cries and hugs him.

"Hiks... Hix... Irgi.... "

Irgi rubbed Raeka's back, trying to calm her down, "Yes, Raeka." His sight circled around. They become the center of attention. He feels uncomfortable. He tried to take off Raeka's embrace, but the woman remained unmoved.

"Sorry everyone, it looks like we need to talk to each other" Irgi said.

"Yes, go." pinta Ayash.

Irgi takes Raeka's hand and takes her outside the room. Ayash finally released a hug on Prita's waist. The mood returned awkward.

"Ah, it seems like I have to meet some of my business associates here. Do you want to come?" ask Ayash.

"No. I'm with Raya."

"All right, I'll go first. Raya, don't leave Prita alone." pinta Ayash.

"Ready, boss." Raya pointed her finger.

Ayash goes to see his business partner. Now, Raya and Prita are back just the two.

"Well! My goal here is to find a soul mate, Ta. But no one seems to want to know. We're both like extras among businessmen."

"Don't be pessimistic, Ray! The night is long."

"Hahaha. yeah, yeah. I'm going to the toilet for a second, Ta. You wanna come?"

"Ah, I'll just wait here."

"Okay, you wait on the bench over there first, yeah. I'll be right back."

"Sip!"

Prita put his feet closer to an empty bench that was appointed Raya. He sat there watching the people there. He became more and more motivated to become a businessman as well, like his father.

"Hi, Ta." greet someone who suddenly sat next to him.

Prita gulps when he finds out the man is Mario. It seemed that he was not ready to meet her after the events at school that time. But why does it seem like Mario is acting so ordinary?

"Eh, Mario. You came too?"

"Raya."

"Oh, Raya. Where's she?"

"To the toilet for a minute."

Mario looked at his face. Makes him feel more uncomfortable.

"You don't have to be so awkward with me. Let's just say that the past doesn't exist. We've been friends a long time."

Mario apparently realized the reason for his awkward attitude.

"Ah, yes. Ii'm sorry. I thought you were still mad at me."

"Hahaha, if I'm angry, why would I greet you. Never mind, if you don't like me, I don't care about it."

"Thank you, yeah. You want to understand." Prita can finally smile again to Mario. His heart was relieved.

Mario smiled, "You're going to the balcony over there? We can see the view of the city park, you know." Mario pointed at the balcony.

"All right." answered Prita.

They both walked towards the balcony. The night view from there is beautiful. The night sky was quite bright with stars. Giant bianglala in the city park looks attractive with incandescent lights that adorn. Night traffic also looks good.

"This is for you." Mario thrusts a glass of green-colored drink with ice cubes, mint leaves and lime slices in it.

"It's.... "

"It's just a mojito mocktail cocktail. There's no alcohol." Mario gave an explanation as if knowing Prita's doubts.

Prita took the drink and drank it.

"Have you stopped working at the restaurant?"

"Yes. How do you know?"

"Dea told me. Why stop?"

"I want to open my own business. But I don't know what effort. Do you have any ideas?"

"Hmmm. You can make a cafe or restaurant. It could also be a street food store. Adjust to the budget."

"I also want to open my own restaurant. Besides, I also have 5 years of experience working in restaurants." Prita looked excited. "But my experience is just washing dishes."

"Haha... " Mario chuckles at Prita's words.

"Ouch... " Prita held her head which suddenly felt dizzy.

"Why, Ta?" Mario reflex puts down his glass and holds both of Prita's nearly fallen shoulders.

"No idea, Yo. My head feels so dizzy." Prita put his head on Mario's shoulder.

"Oh, Oh my God. Maybe you're exhausted. Let me take you to the break room." Mario helps put Prita's glass on the table, then helps memapah Prita who is not strong enough to hold his own weight.

*****

Raya just came out of the toilet. He frowned when he returned to where Prita was waiting for him, it turned out that his friend was no longer there. He was a little long in the toilet because his stomach was heartburn.

Tut's... Tut's... Tut's...

Prita tried to call Prita's number. The phone is connected, but not picked up. He then contacted Ayash, but he said Prita was not with him. Prita went around the room, went in and out of the toilet, but Prita was not there. Finally he decided to search the park, who knew Prita needed to breathe fresh air.

Instead of finding Prita, Raya instead saw Raeka and Irgi who were sitting together in the hotel park. Curiosity makes him move closer, hiding behind trees for eavesdropping. For a moment he forgot his purpose.

"Here, crying?" ask Irgi.

"Already! You are so bad to go home without news." replied Raeka with a sharp tone after before she cried so much for so long and could not speak at all.

"Yes I came here and I want you to tell."

"You're going home too, you're just going to see Prita. At my party you were with her instead, not her congratulating me."

"Well... Prita again you discussed."

"Indeed, our relationship was not good because of him! It's still the same now!"

"Hm, what's wrong with him, anyway?"

"With him we broke up!"

"Well, right... You still wronged him."

"And you keep defending her more than your own boyfriend!"

"Hm, if you're still like this, I don't want to be better than you."

Raeka's tears came back, "Tuh, right. What do you really want? He said you like me. But you still care about him. You want polygamy?"

"Haha... Oh, My God... I care about Prita because she's my best friend and I consider her my own brother. Same with my treatment of Ayash, Vino, and Andin."

"Where is a relationship between man and woman is just a position if there is no love."

"There was. The proof is me and Prita. We're just friends. Anyways... Prita is Ayash's girlfriend. You don't have to be jealous."

Raeka's eyes widened, "Prita's girlfriend Ayash?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I'm relieved now." Raeka leaned her head against Irgi's chest while hugging him, "Then, I just need to focus on improving our relationship. I'm sorry."

Irgi kissed the top of Raeka's head and stroked her hair, "You're so sweet when you're spoiled like this."
