They stared at each other for a moment in silence. Unlike most couples who will embrace each other, let go of longing when they meet, while Alfaro and Arumi are just like people who do not know each other.
Alfaro begins to move his hand, grabbing the broken phone in Arumi's hand, and that's when Arumi begins to come to his senses from his daydream. He wondered why Alfaro had taken his broken phone.
Before long Aril's secretary came, he began to be confused and everyone who was there also swarmed Alfaro and Arumi. How not, the handsome and wealthy widower, the owner of the WB group, is back in sight after several days of disappearing. Those people were also curious, why did Alfaro stare at a female employee up to such an extent. Did Arumi make a fatal mistake.
Alfaro flipped the phone in his hand. He was surprised, it turns out there are still people who use outdated phones like that. He looked back at Arumi who immediately threw away his gaze as Alfaro looked at him.
"Who's your name?" alfaro asked, pretending not to know.
Arumi looked back at Alfaro. Why would Alfaro ask her name? For a moment Arumi was silent in confusion, but finally he realized that it was his own request. That, outside the mansion, they were just two strangers who did not know each other.
"Sa-I am Arumi, sir." Eventually the words came out of his mouth.
Alfaro immediately smiled his smile, when he heard Arumi's words. He did not expect that Arumi would answer his question.
Turns out the acting was good too. Keep it that way, because we are indeed strangers who do not know each other when coming down from the bed, Alfaro said.
"I'm sorry but I accidentally stepped on your cell phone" Alfaro said.
"What!" peeked Arumi involuntarily.
Everyone who was there including Aril, could only be flabbergasted at Alfaro's words. Because in other words, Alfaro did that consciously, without the element of accident.
"A group WB employee, not allowed to use a butut phone like this, do you want to degrade the company's good name?"
"Sorry, but I-I"
Not yet Arumi continued his words, Alfaro had already grabbed Arumi's hand and placed the broken phone in the palm of his hand.
"Dump this, and you don't have to worry, I'll replace it."
After saying that, Alfaro stepped away, following Aril's secretary from behind. While Arumi was still quietly fixated in his position.some people who had crowded, now approach Arumi with great concern.
"You're patient."
"Master Al said he'd change it anyway."
"The next time it's better to avoid meeting Mr. Al, you'll be blacklisted."
The words of those people were like the wind and were not responded to by Arumi. He just focused on looking at his favorite phone that was in critical condition. Fatigue Arumi turned her head, looking at Alfaro who had just entered the elevator.
You are worse than I thought. Are you saying I'm degrading the company's name? What's not wrong, there is me that you just denigrated, shewed Arumi in heart.
...***...
Alfaro dropped the body on his seat of greatness. Aril came over and sat in front of him.
"I was curious, seeing that innocent woman while working in this office. I didn't expect to see him in the lobby, when I saw his phone fall off, I walked quickly and stepped on it, hahaha. Did you see the expression on her face when I got angry, hahaha, that's so funny." Alfaro laughed out loud until he coughed.
What is this, Mr Al laughing? only because of pranking Miss Arumi could she laugh again after so long, Aril's inner self.
"Buy him the latest phone, I can't stand the sight of the butut phone" said Alfaro, who had returned to normal after a laugh that was not unrelenting.
"Well Mr. .. but, what Master will give it directly?"
"Yes, I'll give it straight away, of course after the night ritual that has been delayed by a few days" Alfaro told Aril.
Aril could only exhale heavily. Again Alfaro talked about things that should not be discussed with a single person like Aril.

Somewhere else. Bima looks concerned about the condition of Arumi's phone. He only touched the phone a little, and the LCD glass was immediately dissolved.
"It seems that it can not be repaired," said Bima slowly.
"Of course not! Do you know, the person who stepped on my phone must have objected to sin, to the point that my favorite phone was crumpled like this," said Arumi annoyed, making Bima gasp.
"Not emotion. Didn't you say he'd replace it?"
"It's not a problem, but this phone I bought with my own work, all this time, I took good care of it, but the arrogant Lord destroyed it in an instant," arumi who looks sad.
Bima could understand Arumi's feelings. But as a subordinate, both Bima and all the workers who hung expectations in the company, they could only understand and close their eyes when there was a less wearing incident, happened to them.
"You who are patient, fighting will only get you in trouble, next time you better avoid Mr. Al."
Arumi could only smile. Bima does not know if maybe later tonight he and Alfaro will sleep in the same bed.
...***...
Because the phone is broken, so Arumi can't order the onine motorcycle as usual. In the afternoon, after walking far enough, he finally reached a stop. He sat there, waiting for the next bus to arrive. He is not alone, there are many people waiting for the bus. But still he felt lonely, as if going through these exhausting days on his own.
From the direction of the highway, a luxury car suddenly stopped right in front of the stop. At first, Arumi was silent, he did not know that the car was Alfaro's car. Yes, as a successful entrepreneur, having more than one or two cars is common.
Arumi's attention is suddenly diverted when the car's cluster sounds. The back window glass is opening. A man in black glasses was sitting there looking at Arumi.
Yeah, that guy is Alfaro, he gave Arumi a code to get in the car. Of course, if you do not want to get into trouble, Arumi must obey.
But before that, he glanced right left, who knew there was one of the office employees at the stop. When he felt safe, with a quick movement, Arumi got into the car.
Arumi sat on Alfaro's left side. He glanced at Alfaro who was just silent and did not care about his arrival. The driver returned after the gas drove away from the bus stop.
