Dear, Soul!!
Job
Anxiety continued to envelop Fauzi's feelings. Early this morning, he presented a new fact about the mystery in the mind of his wife who could no longer know time. He was so sick to realize this, but the more painful thing for him was his inability to do anything about what happened to his wife. He could not even do many things, even to just accompany his wife at home like now.
Fauzi was so heavy leaving his wife alone at home. It felt like he wanted to be around his wife constantly, accompanying her whatever she was doing. But again, his responsibility on the job, made him not do that. Fauzi must be professional, separating his affairs and personal feelings from everything that deals with his work. Fortunately, Fauzi was able to watch over his wife through CCTV which he directly connected to his cell phone.
“Hei.. just shut up??”
Someone patted Fauzi on the shoulder, breaking his daydream. Fauzi simply turned around and revealed his smile with his gaze that had just returned from the void.
Karin, taking the empty seat next to Fauzi. today, they will hold a meeting to discuss in more detail the cooperation they had agreed upon the other day.
“Why? Did something happen?” tannya
Fauzi shaking “No”. Fauzi still showed his smile, even though his mind was in a frenzy.
“Oh yes? Just now I didn't find you daydreaming?”
“Ah, I was just thinking about some work. Why are you sitting there? It should be there” Fauzi set his sights on the other side of the long table. A chair that serves as a place for partners from other companies.
“Others have not come yet, so yes I sit here first” replied Karin improved her sitting position and leaned on the back of the chair.
Fauzi did not respond anymore, his thoughts back toying around his wife.
“Emhhh Fauzi.”
Fauzi, who was not focused on his surroundings, did not respond to Karin's call.
“Hey Fauzi..” karin slaps softly on Fauzi's shoulders. resuscitate the white man beside him.
“Eh, yes??”
“Now, you must have thought of something.”
“Ah no, I just lack sleep, so sleepy” replied Fauzi lying, hiding the truth from his confused mind. “Why?”
“Finished this meeting, you have a job no?”
“Because finished meeting later is still office hours, yes means I still work”
“Ck, you're the director, so you don't have to stay in your office
“Just because I'm the director, doesn't mean I can just leave the office”
Karin looked at Fauzi for a moment, leaving Fauzi bewildered by Karin's gaze.
“Ke-why?” asked Fauzi nervously.
“I know..”
“What?”
“Reason Farhan's father entrusted one of his subsidiaries to you”
Fauzi's forehead only frowned in response to Karin's words.
“You are honest, hardworking.” Karin is honest. “I became jealous of his father Farhan, could get a trustworthy person like you”
“You're overreacting. Many people are sep...”
“Gak.. You are step.”
Fauzi simply smiled wryly in response to Karin's remark.
“Seriously, done this you can't get out? Must stay in the office?”
“Why?”
“There are things I want to talk to you”
“What?”
“Ya something important. So can you not come out with?”
“Why not discuss it here? The meeting has not started”
“Can't do it, I want to discuss it both just like you”
Fauzi swept around with his gaze. There are not many people in that room. There is only an office girl who is providing water for meetings later and a person from the same company as Fauzi, sitting a little away from them is focusing on her work.
“It's the same if we're both. If the important thing you want to discuss is a little secret, I think here can also be discussed. The person in the corner won't hear what you said”
“Ck, it's so hard to take you out?”
“Means?”
“Eh? I mean, it's really hard to ask for a minute to discuss something”
Fauzi looked at Karin with a confused expression.
“Ck, come on. I again need your help.” refer Karin.
Fauzi sighed. “I don't have much time, Karin”
“Just a minute. Okay?”
“Shortly??”
“Iya, just a minute. I really need your help”
After whining to persuade Fauzi, Karin's persuasion finally succeeded, Fauzi nodded in agreement with Karin's request, making Karin smile happily.
The meeting that had been scheduled before, was finally held. Give each other opinions and respond well. There is no argument, and it ends with the results that have been agreed upon together, making the meeting run smoothly.
“So right??” Karin asked quickly after the moderator closed the meeting.
Fauzi was surprised to get a sudden question from Karin. But followed by his nod.
.
.
.
“You did what?” ask Fauzi to the point.
“Ck, to the point really anyway, not to order eat”
“You hungry? It's not lunchtime yet”
“Indeed I can't be hungry if it's not lunchtime”
“I mean not so..”
“Ya yes.. I want to eat first” Karin to divert the previous conversation and start busy choosing the food listed on the menu.
Fauzi just fell silent and went back to playing his phone. Monitor Salwa through the screen of his cell phone that has been connected to CCTV at home. Fauzi smiled, looking at Salwa from the screen who seemed to be busy tidying up their wardrobe. Yes, at least he did not do any strange things that could harm him.
“What do you eat?”
Karin's spontaneous question led Fauzi to take his eyes off his phone screen.
“What aja.”
“No menu anything here.”
“Kopi” said Fauzi briefly and looked back at his phone screen, watching his wife's gestures.
Karin gave her order list to the waitress who was waiting beside their table.
“Hem, so what do you want to talk about”
Karin sighed, I don't know what made this man in front of her like a rush, making her unable to enjoy time together for longer.
Karin retrieves the documents from inside her bag, thrusting at Fauzi.
“I want to invite you to cooperate again. But this is not between companies, but between us”
Fauzi began to open the document.
“Why cooperate with me? I think you can run this project without the need for cooperation. It's not a too complicated thing”
“Iya I know. I just wanted to invite you to open a new business opportunity. I'm busy anyway, so I need a partner to avoid being overwhelmed”
“I'm busy too. I can't
“You haven't read until you're done, and you can't?”
“I'm really busy Karin, I have a lot of things to do. I'm not a single guy who can focus on work. I have a family, a wife and kids who need my time”
Fauzi's words seemed to clarify his status. Karin was silent for a moment.
“What if you join this project with me, you have absolutely no time for your family?”
“They, it's just getting less and less. Even now, the time I have for my family is a little, and it will be less if I join your project it” explained Fauzi.
Karin was silent. Down and confused what else to say.
“Lucky once..”
Fauzi looked at Karin, not understanding what Karin was saying.
“What?”
“Wife and your child. They get people like you, who really think of them”
“Not those who are lucky to find me, but I'm the lucky one to have them”
Karin smiled wryly. Unable to lift his head staring at Fauzi “Your words made me even more envious. I seem jealous of Salwa”
“You mean?”
“Can I also get men like you later?” Karin asked as she raised her head, looking at Fauzi.
Fauzi just stared back at Karin.
“You really are a dream man, perfect and very pleasant. Salwa must be very happy to be your wife. Looks like, I'm not wrong for having liked you first, maybe also now”
Fauzi turned his gaze, looked out and turned his back to Karin.
“You will also get later.”
“Hopefully.”
Karin's indecipherable smile.
“So, there's nothing else we should discuss? I have to pick up Mikayla now” Fauzi raised his arm, looking at the clock that showed a little more at 10.
“Mikayla?”
“She's my daughter?” Fauzi smiled. “I'm going to cashier”
“No need, let me pay. You also do not order food kan”
“I order kopi”
“You didn't drink the coffee. Never mind, let me pay. I think I also want to drink kopi”
Karin showed her smile even though her face showed disappointment.
“Content then. And sorry, because I can't join your new project”
Karin just nodded with her smile.
“I'm sorry.”
Fauzi stepped out, taking Fauzi with his gaze. Obviously he felt disappointed.
“Ah I am stupid.” murmured.
