Dear, Soul!!
Faiq Story's: Flashback (7)
The atmosphere of the morning was so shady, making the souls on earth feel at ease, but not with a man with a tall body standing in front of a long mirror available in his room.
Faiq always diverted himself to what his father said, he did not want to justify his father's words. But no matter how much he refused, his father's words still ringed in his ears.
Faiq looked at himself at the large mirror in front of him at this moment. The more clingy he looks at his reflection, the more shrivelled his feelings. His feelings are increasingly not confused with the burden that begins to approach him one by one.
"Who am I really?" Ask Faiq to himself. His reflection on the mirror revealed his confused expression. "Am I happy now? Have I surpassed my father?" Ask again with a sad look.
His father's words still annoyed him. He could not deny the truth of his father about what his father said about Sasa who could have hated him after knowing about him who was now very much changed than before.
Faiq himself was unaware of his change. He just follows the grooves and feelings that always make him want to feel victory and success. He is unaware of the obsession that slowly begins to swallow him and increasingly makes him different from his old self.
Faiq's gaze could not be separated from the mirror that reflected the image of himself, paying attention to himself more and more fixed. "Is that me?" Ask again.
Faiq stepped up, approaching the mirror by trying to feel himself at the reflection of the image given by the mirror. He knew it was impossible, but still Faiq was trying to reach an image of himself.
The more dissolved Faiq was in his view. He looked at his two confused eyes. The closer he looked, the more he realized that he was no longer what he was.
Slowly the tears welled up, and spilled without cueing. All the mixed feelings slowly attacked him, making him confused what to feel, until finally all exploded in his cries.
"ARGGHHHHHHHH...."
Even innocent hair becomes an outlet from the explosion of his feelings that are not careless.
Faiq looked back at himself in the mirror that had fallen apart with tears pouring down nonstop.
"Bu-not me.. I wasn't.. IT'S NOT ME....."
Faiq continued to retreat away from the mirror that reflected the image of himself, until he fell down and his crying broke again.
Somehow Faiq cried roaring at himself with his consciousness gathered about the negative things he had been doing all this time, until finally he slowly began to calm down.
The tears that had been shed, slowly subsided. His body fell down and did not make any movement for nearly an hour. Only his heartbeat continued to accompany his hearing, and only his chest as well as his pulse had the motion of his heart and blood vessels still working.
After venting all his feelings that were not careless, Faiq who began to calm down slowly began to be able to think about what he should do next.
Faiq got up, fixed his position by sitting leaning against the wall behind him. He could still see himself in the reflection of the mirror that was far away from him, having previously stepped away from the mirror. The disheveled face was plastered there, but the mind was not as tightly wrapped as before.
"I will not allow myself to be swallowed back by this ridiculous obsession. I've succeeded, I've become a successful person, and I don't want to be like this anymore" Faiq muttered with confidence.

Faiq, who has decided to change, is now slowly starting to clean his head of bad ideas that he had planned but has not run until now. He began to devise ways and strategies to be able to penetrate the stock market and cooperation without using dirty tricks that he had been doing.
Faiq walked into the office that he had visited since returning from a country in continental Europe. Today he arrived late, not as usual who was always on time. Yes the delay today is because he who had tantrums this morning due to ringing with the words of his father last night. But the good thing that he found after his body moves reflexes evaporate all his feelings is, he who has been thinking clearly by getting rid of the negative things that have filled his head for some time now.
From a distance, Faiq saw his father talking to someone familiar to him.
Yes, he's a man of a conflicting age not far above him. A fairly successful person is also in his field, only his disposition is a little bad with the arrogance he has due to the success he achieved at this time.
Although his feelings were still confused when he saw his father with the words of his Father ringing in his ears, but Faiq still set his feet toward where his father stood, by setting yourself up to hide her feelings and showing her who seems fine now.
"What's the matter Dad?" Faiq asked his father politely. Covering up the truth will be the fuck that happened between them last night. Both should look harmonious.
His father looked at Faiq with a bit of surprise. He is aware of his son's current changes, which could have launched all his evil intentions on the man he is currently speaking to. His father, who did not know about Faiq's intention to change himself for the better, was clearly still thinking a no-no to his son.
Faiq smilingly looked at his father who understood the gaze with a little fear from his father. But Faiq as if talking through telepathy, giving warning to his father to look relaxed, considering that others are among them at this time.
"If I'm not wrong, are you Faiq?"
Ask the man, interrupting Faiq's question he asked his father earlier.
"Yes right" replied Faiq smiling. Hiding the truth of himself who already knew the person in front of him by pretending not to recognize him. "Sorry, you??"
The man smiled, revealing a hint of arrogance to the smile.
"I don't know, if there are still people who don't know me." those words containing a little arrogance, again making the bad intentions that Faiq had buried, burned again and appeared to the surface.
"Ah, forgive me. Looks like my game is not far away to not know you. Maybe you can introduce yourself to me. Wouldn't it be impolite if you recognized me, but I don't know you" Faiq said, insinuating a bit of the insolence of the person's unfamiliarity in the business world they are in today.
The man who understood enough by Faiq's words to slip insults, only smiled with his upper lip.
"You're pretty good at catching targets"
"I take that as a compliment" Faiq replied with a smile that did not escape his lips.
The man reached out his hand, trying to reconcile for a moment with Faiq who had offended him a little. After all, he knew that Faiq was not an ordinary person that he could call war at will.
"Reza, director and owner of Astra. I guess, you can't possibly not recognize that big company" Again, the guy who introduced himself named Reza, that, again bragging about his position and ownership rights in the right company is one of the big companies.
Faiq smiled, and reached for Reza's hand with a smile that did not escape his lips.
"Of course I know that big company. Sorry for not recognizing you before"
"Look easy. I rarely go out, so it is only natural that you do not recognize me. What's more, you're very busy aren't you" Reza tries to brush off Faiq's insults on his unfamiliar self by making Faiq's busyness a weapon. Unfortunately, he did not know that something he made the weapon was the thing that could make Faiq back to attack him.
Faiq's words just now made Reza no longer able to hide her resentment. His face began to blush with anger that he was trying to endure desperately, considering that now they were in the office with so many people looking at them.
"Yes.." Reza turned his face, then returned his gaze to Father Faiq who had been silent since then could not interrupt the conversation between the two. "Later I'll think again about your offer problem" Reza said with an occasional glance at Faiq. To make things clear, it was Faiq's father who needed him now.
"I'm sorry if I interrupt. Maybe Mr Reza can tell me what he just said?"
Reza showed his pride again. Yes, he who owned the company at a very young age, obviously made himself feel a sense of pride. Moreover, when he got an offer from Faiq's father who he thought was in dire need of approval from him at this time.
"I got an offer from your father to join the project he was running. Yes, of course, large companies like Astra are in great demand to join because of their ability to boost profits, no longer need to be doubted. I will consider it again. I know your success in getting the approval of a very large company in the eastern region today. But that won't be a reason or a benchmark for you to feel like you have the same chance of me accepting your offer"
Reza increasingly emphasized about himself who is not easy to cooperate with. From his words he made it clear, his unwillingness to join due to the annoyance he had obtained from Faiq's previous remarks.
"Of course, we will not make ourselves feel that we can reach your agreement just because we managed to negotiate with a company that is bigger than yours" Faiq also reiterated that Reza's company, which he was so proud and very exhibited in front of him, was no bigger than the company he was working with.
The heated conversation between Faiq and Reza ended after Reza resigned from her father's company. Faiq only smiled in knots following Reza's footsteps who was hunting out, as if he wanted to immediately remove his footrest from the large building where he had just received the humiliation earlier.
"What you do, such disrespectful talk will make Mr. Reza unhappy"
"Dad, we're just the two of us, why is it so formal?" Tegur Faiq's.
His father was still carried away by the conversation of Faiq and Reza.
"Faiq, this could make Reza won't approve of Dad's offer"
Faiq smiled with a little peek at his upper lip.
"Didn't you see? From the way he spoke, I should know that he was not interested in Dad's offer, he was just happy to see Dad begging for his approval. He just showed off what he had and boasted about it all. What Dad is not ashamed to humble himself to a man whose age is only a few years away from me. He takes Dad lightly and doesn't treat Dad the way he should treat older people"
"In the business world, age is not.."
"Can it be used as a benchmark to be insolent?" Faiq's question cut off his father's words. "Dad looks pathetic.."
Faiq just glanced at his father and moved on. But not a few footsteps that level stepped, he turned back.
"I'll take care of this, so I'll take it easy.."
"What else do you want to do, Faiq?" Ask her father surprised. How not, he already knows his son who did anything for what he wanted. "Faiq don't.."
"Just wait..."
Faiq continued his steps that had stopped.
There was no ability for his father to stop Faiq's wishes. His only son, was no longer the man he knew first, whom he could manage as he wished. The innocent youth had formulated into someone he could no longer control.

Faiq has decided not to cheat anymore, he is determined to change and get better. However, he who found his father get disrespectful treatment from men whose age is far below his father, make Faiq again do some dirty tricks to make the man he knows by the name of Reza, can accept his father's offer, even by force.
Faiq assured himself, that this was the last time he did something dirty like this. He just wanted to teach her a lesson and subdue the arrogance Reza had, the man who had upset her a few days ago. He himself slammed himself for playing like this.
..
Time shows at 10 o'clock eight minutes, morning. These past few days, his father was made to be unsettled considering what his son was going to do. And today, the fear that always looms over her becomes clearer when Reza says she wants to meet to discuss something.
Faiq's father had been waiting, after getting word from Reza that he would stop by his office today. Until not long enough, the door of his room was knocked by a woman in an elegant dress typical of the office, telling the whereabouts of guests he had been waiting for this morning.
Reza gave his approval to accept the offer he offered a few days ago. There wasn't much the man said as before when he met the other day. Today he only expressed his agreement and discussed the things that will be done in the implementation of the project offered. Until the conversation about work was over, Reza finally resigned. But before Reza stepped out, he said something that emphasized the concerns of Faiq's father.
"Your son is great at doing business, just a little off the mark. Good luck"
Reza's short words, which later passed, left Faiq's father without any further explanation of what he had just said.
Faiq's father certainly understood, although he did not know what his son was doing. But again, even if he tried to question Faiq, he would not get an answer of what he wanted.
