CEO Replacement

Substitutes

Emi had breakfast first and waited for Bima on the terrace. Emi plucked the origin of her hair up and carrying the cake she had put in a transparent container.

Echemes

As Bima Deheman was out of the house, Emi followed him to the car and sat on the cake that he would give to Bian.

"What's that for the school's masterpiece?" bima asked glanced towards Emi's lap.

"No!" answer Emi ketus.

"Then for what?"

"For someone."

"Talking like that is disrespectful to an older person."

Bima doesn't like the way Emi talks lately. All this time Emi will talk well and seem to want to seek attention.

"Did you make it yourself?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Are you sure the person who will eat it won't get a stomachache?"

Emi did not answer Bima, she just closed her eyes like a sleeping person.

Actually Bima deliberately asked Emi because since last night Bima waited for Emi to give the cake but until the morning when she woke up it was not done Emi.

Of course Emi did not give it to Bima because the cake was for Bian, as a thank you for teaching him mathematics.

"Don't stop right in front of the school gate" Emi said.

"Why?"

"I am lazy if I have to answer questions that see Bima."

"Is there a problem?"

"It doesn't matter, stop near the somay man, '" Emi pointed.

Bima sighed and stopped her car at Emi's request. Just like last night, Bima again removed the lip gloss on Emi's lips. If last night using a handkerchief, then Bima is currently using her thumb.

Emi's face suddenly hot felt Bima's finger touch her lips. Emi was getting nervous when she inhaled the scent of perfume that Bima was wearing pierced Emi's nose.

"To school to learn is not to be stylish and attract men."

Emi was stunned to hear the words of Bima and at that time Emi realized, returning to her sanity that would forget Bima who she knew would never see Emi as a mature woman.

Bima lowered her gaze on the cake on Emi's lap after removing the lip gloss on the girl's lips. Bima stared fixedly at the name written on the cake as if in disbelief. Bima smiled wryly and fixed her sitting position.

"Get out!"

"Huh?"

"You deaf? I said get out."

Slowly but full of emphasis, that's the style of Bima's speech when upset or angry.

Bima is not the type of person who likes to raise his voice if angry. If you have to do it, then it is a sign that what happened has exceeded the limits of Bima's patience.

"Yes. I'm going home from school"

"Picked up Mr. Eko," cut off Emi's speech.

Emi clucked upset, because last night she had made an appointment with Febi to play after school. Emi got out of the car and held the cake carefully. Emi went without saying goodbye to Bima.

Realize Bima, she's just a schoolboy. What exactly do you expect from him right now? He shouldn't be on your mind, sober up.

Bima did not know why he had to feel disappointed when not his name that he saw on the cake made by Emi, but the name of Bian.

There are many cakes that are more beautiful and will certainly be much more delicious than Emi even though Bima does not taste it. But that is not what makes Bima disappointed but there are other things that he himself does not know.

..........

Bima worked all day in the office did not make Bima stop thinking about the cake that was made by Emi for Bian. Bima's mood has been going up and down lately. Bima needs something that can calm and stabilize her mood.

Finished with a job in the office, Bima asked Nola to accompany him to attend the wedding reception of the Gemilang company leader who is now working with Suntama company.

The atmosphere was immediately filled with applause when the groom asked even impressed to force Bima to play a song with the piano.

"Is this your idea? If it's true then it's not very funny, Nola."

"Come, Bim. Do it at least for tonight. Right now I'm not a secretary but as your friend" Nola said. "Do it as a wedding gift for them. Besides, I'd also like to see my friend play the piano again like High School."

"You can tell your boyfriend to do it. He can play the piano, too."

"I know but she's not as good as you are" Nola teased as she pushed Bima's back closer towards the piano.

Hundreds or even thousands of pairs of clapping hands make Bima inevitably accept the request of Nola and the groom.

Bima took the most comfortable sitting position for him, putting both palms on the piano keys. Bima only thought of one song at this time and his fingers began to dance on the piano keys with their eyes closed.

Can't help falling in love, became Bima's choice song because it has performed the song several times and of course with arrangements that have been changed with a melody that is so deep.

All eyes were on Bima including the happy couple. Nola smiled because she had not seen Bima play the piano for a long time. When High School, Bima often appeared at school pension events to accompany her friends who want to sing.

All are bewitched by the melody played by Bima. Although he had not played the piano for long enough but did not make Bima feel awkward, instead he joined in enjoying his fingers.

Bima was so enjoying the game that her face shriveled because the shadow of Emi suddenly crossed her mind. Bima tried to ignore his thoughts but Emi's shadow never left.

Emi's shadow almost makes Bima's game disturbed, Bima tries to continue to focus until the end. All applauded after Bima ended his game of fingers and one by one gave praise to him.

"You kill it, Bim. Your game is always good" praised Nola as Bima approached her.

"I came home first, sorry I couldn't take you."

"Going home? Why rush?"

"There's something I have to do" Bima said shortly after leaving the party.

Bima slightly ran towards the car park. Before opening the door of his car, a woman's voice distracts him.

"Hi? Remember me?" greet a lady with a graceful appearance.

"I'm sorry?"

Bima looked at the woman's face. Bima did not recognize him but like he had met somewhere.

"A few years ago, PLAQUE!" said the woman made a slapping motion in the air.

Bima immediately remembered, he might have forgotten the face of the woman who was now standing before him but not at what he did.

A few years ago the woman slapped Bima who came to replace Mila's mother's son. Bima met the woman with the intention of apologizing on behalf of Mila's mother's son who did not want to be betrothed to her. Mila's mother's son cannot meet the woman because he has to fly to a faraway country to meet his lover at the same time.

"I remember" said Bima.

"I didn't expect you to be a great pianist" the woman praised. "I also didn't expect that you were a chief director at Suntama Group."

"Sorry, I have to go."

"Hey... Don't hurry," intercept the woman.

"I'm sorry but there's something important I have to do."

"What thing? You don't have to rush. What's the job problem? If yes, then there is no need to overdo it. I know, you're just a secretary who's taking the place of a deceased chief director. You're just a temporary surrogate but acting like an important person."

"Whatever is none of your business."

"I know but at least be a little polite. I've been kind enough to greet you even though our levels are different. People may know you're a director but don't know just a temporary replacement."

The woman's words were not entirely wrong but Bima also did not accept such a lotus. He also did not want to be in his current position but out of guilt he had to do so.

The woman who knows Bima named Naomi still seems to feel heartache with the incident a few years ago. Bima sure if the woman must be disappointed because she could not be with the son of Mila's mother who was once a CEO of a famous company owner.

Bima smiled at the woman feeling pity.

"Mother Mila was lucky that there was no need to make you her daughter-in-law. Only a fine woman can fit into the Suntama family."

The woman smiled cynically not accepting Bima's words. He clenched his teeth full of anger in the face.

"Don't be pretentious, at least I'm not a submissive lackey under orders like you."

The woman turned around, leaving Bima with a speech that hurt Bima's feelings so much.
