My mind goes back to Surya, he ruined me, now he wants to ruin my sister? That can't happen!
***
Until the next day I woke up, hoping that everything that happened yesterday was a dream, but this was a nightmare that came true.
Lord, please strengthen me.
After hearing Cantika had left for work, I came out of the room. Washing my face. My eyes were swollen, because I had too many cries last night.
Mom prepared breakfast. Bread jam, and a glass of milk for me.
"His pain is healed, son?" Ask mama.
"Udah, ma."
"You have breakfast first, let's recover quickly."
"Yes, Ma."
I chewed my morning food lazily. Want me to curse myself, why should it be like this. Why should he. Tears wanted to come out again, but I held back so Mama wouldn't see it.
"Papa, where's Ma?" My toot.
"Nganterin Cantica. Can'tika work, early in the morning gini he usually leave."
"Then, to the boarding house?"
"Yes." Yeah." Answer mama.
"Ma, Cantika was told, must be careful with guys."
"Yes, Mama told me from the beginning, son, it looks like Surya is a good man for her." Mama
Mama don't know my story, if you know, surely mama will not give blessing to them but, of course, will also be disappointed in me. My mind's turbulent.
I just kept quiet, drank a glass of milk on the table and stepped into the bathroom. Today I went to a new office. If I follow my feelings, I won't be able to move forward, and I won't bring my problems as emotions in the office later.
"You're starting work today, son?" Ask mama.
"Yes, Ma." My word.
"Yes, Mama will bring lunch."
I nodded with a smile. My first smile this morning. It's like the kids were brought by Mama, but I like it. For a moment I forgot my problem with the morning rush.
"I'm leaving, Ma."
"Yes, Val. Be careful with the car." Said mom.
"Yes, Ma." I said, kissing my hands and cheeks.
Look mama's proud of me, I can buy my own car. We used to only have a car that until now used by papa. Papa loved his old car, because of the history of papa bought it with great effort. Our family was indeed taught to take care of something we got, especially with great effort.
After waving to my mom, and my mom took me off like a kindergarten, kissed me when I said goodbye, but later in the afternoon I went home again, I drove the car to my workplace.
I was stuck on the road, but my job was relaxing. No one would scold me if I was late, even so I was determined to set a good example for the employees.
Arriving at the office, I walked in and greeted the employees I met. They read my name tag, and respecting me, I headed to the elevator after asking the security guard where my room was.
My room is on the 5th floor. Luckily it was equipped with a room phone, so I could call the parts I wanted to call. Today I will hold a meeting while introducing myself.
After entering the room, I opened the computer on my desk and inside the computer there was an application listing the names of the holders of the parts in the office. So I can easily call them.
Immediately I called them and made a meeting with them in the meeting room.
They welcomed me warmly.
"Good morning, Mother and Father. I am the new manager of this company. My name is Valeria. My mom and dad knew my job. This company is newly established, but with good planning, we will certainly be able to advance this company. And, please work honestly, actively, orderly and professionally. For that let's work together, I appeal that there is no negative competition between employees."
After explaining the purpose of the meeting, we shared the problems experienced by employees. They seem to respect me more with my open attitude.
Okay, we'll work together in this office.
I am excited to make our company in Jakarta go forward.
After holding a meeting, I allowed people to return to their respective rooms. It's time for me to go around too.
The office has 5 levels. The meeting room is next to mine. So I just walk to my room, and next to it is my room there is a finance room. Tomorrow I'll drive around to the bottom. I feel tired today. Either maybe because it first came to work or last night's thoughts. I went back to my room.
Today I will examine the reports from the room only. Until lunch I was in my room.
Geck... Geck... Geck...
"Lake in!" My orders.
Ms. Risky who holds the customer service section comes in.
"Sorry, Miss Valeria. There's a guest, I called mom's room but it was just offline."
"Oh yeah, who?"
"Say Mr. Surya, from Samudra Jaya Company."
The deg!
Hearing his name, my heart was like it was going to come off. Why is he here? Wasn't it enough that he gave me a "surprise" last night?
For a moment, Sister Risky I let stand in front of me, my mind is gone. What am I supposed to do? I promised to be professional. It's a job, not a personal matter.
"Good, Ma'am. Sorry, make the wait. Get him into my room."
"Good, Mom. I beg you first."
"Yes, Mommy."
With a rhythmic heartbeat, I waited for him in this room. I paced back and forth with cold hands. What else does he want? Why does he know I'm here? Stupidly I, the company he is the 5th largest company in Jakarta, of course he wants to make a working relationship with this company.
And I should know the risk that if I go back to this town, the risk of meeting her. Since he was an only child, no matter where he moved school first, it was still the company his parents would move into his hands in this city.
Tok.... tok!
"Lake in!"
The figure that I hate so much, I want to get rid of it, I want to be in front of me.
He stood before me, busy looking at the computer. He looked at me, staring in front of me, without me telling him to sit down.
"What is the need, Mr Surya?" I asked to glance at it for a while then continue my work.
"Can I sit down? It's not appropriate for a manager to not allow guests to sit." His words made me turn my eyes towards him.
"Please if that's your will."
I would rather step on it with my words. I have never said that to a guest. It's special.
Finally he sat in front of me.
"Val, I'm sorry." He said open the conversation.
"I'm sorry years ago." My word.
"I want to find you after my graduation from High School."
"Make what?"
"I want to take responsibility."
"What's up?"
"What I did to you, Val."
I sighed softly. I really wanted all this to pass like a stream of water, but God reunited me with him.
He continued, "I'm looking for you, but friends say you're abroad. They're all lost contact with you."
"Then, what about my sister?" Cut me up, don't want to hear the babble anymore.
"I didn't know Cantika was your sister." The answer makes me sick.
If he had met a girl who wasn't my sister, would he still be looking for me? Is he going to meet me here?
"That's it, Mr. Surya. It's the office, I'm committed to talking about office matters." I said.
"Alright, we will make a corporate relationship agreement with this company. I have contacted Bu Magda. He was my father's former partner." He said triumphantly.
Apparently he knew Magda Ma. Oh, I'm done if I refuse the offer.
"All right."
"Deal." We shake hands with each other.
