"Good morning, sorry I'm late!" hello Haykal Anzari Ansa, leader of a large and successful company.
All of the staff immediately stood up, their heads bowing to greet the leader. For the first time in five years, Haykal came to chair a meeting at the company. A company that has grown tremendously over the past five years. Fandy was his personal assistant who made Haykal's business a success. But this success did not escape the supervision and intervention of Haykal behind the scenes. Today, after five years of being behind the scenes. Haykal decided to return to lead the company. More precisely set foot in a country that holds his love. Country of residence Kanaya the idol of the heart.
"Good morning, Mr. Haykal!" sahut Fandy, representing the section leaders at Haykal company. With a nod of his head, Haykal confirmed Fandy's words. Then kindly, Haykal asked all the staff to sit back down.
"Now we start meeting this morning!" haykal said coldly and firmly. Haykal stared at the laptop screen in front of him. Put the file next to it untouched. There was something that kept Haykal's attention centered on the laptop screen. Something that makes Haykal happy, as well as sick and afraid.
"Fandy, when is the meeting with this company?" said Haykal lirih, then showed the schedule on his laptop screen.
Fandy looked at the laptop, then Fandy checked the schedule on his smartphone. Fandy's head nods, as if he had found the answer to Haykal's question. While Haykal fell silent, the name of the company that made him afraid and confused. But the company will lead him to meet his family first. The family that warmly welcomed him and with sincerity forgave his folly. A foolish decision that he regretted for the past five years.
"Mr Haykal!" greeting Fandy who immediately disperse Haykal reverie. Haykal looked over with a shocked look. Fandy looked down immediately, he felt guilty for making Haykal surprised by his call. Although his voice was very soft, but clearly Haykal was pensive to think of something.
"What's wrong?"
"The meeting will be held at lunch. The meeting will be held at a restaurant. The restaurant was close to the project site. After the meeting, I usually review the project location. So that I can weigh the plan forward!" fandy explained, Haykal nodded in understanding.
"Today, let me come. I want to see the prospects they offer. Had this project been profitable, I would have accepted this cooperation. If not, I will reject it!"
"Okay, Mr. Haykal, I believe in the wisdom of the master. All this time, I have never been disappointed with the way the company works. Especially after leadership has switched. The ability of the company in analyzing and marketing, no doubt. In a short time everything went very well!" said Fandy enthusiastically, Haykal turned his head with a look of wonder.
"The leader was replaced, who replaced him?" batin Haykal was surprised, while looking at Fandy.
"Alright, I'll meet them myself. Please pick up Zahra at school. I don't trust anyone? Except for you, Zahra is precious and you obviously know that!" haykal said firmly, Fandy nodded his ass.
The meeting finally began, one by one the section chief reported the performance of his team. Haykal listened and occasionally corrected the performance of his staff. Haykal is very thorough in business. The wires were emanating for real, making everyone bow. Haykal never played at work. He will not tolerate the slightest mistake.
"All right, the meeting's over. You can go back to your room!" haykal's orders, all nodding in assent. One by one they came out of the meeting room. Haykal looked back at his laptop screen. Look closely at the name of the company he will meet.
Fandy realized the meaning of Haykal's silence. He's the only person who knows the reason for Haykal's departure a few years ago. Fandy also knows, the biggest reason Haykal is back. Even Haykal's gaze, implied the pain Fandy could feel. A longing wrapped in fear. Makes Haykal hesitant in stepping.
"Mr Haykal, if indeed your heart is not ready. You can meet them another day!" fandy said softly, Haykal shook his head slowly.
"Today or tomorrow, isn't it a matter of being ready or not? Even if I postpone meeting them. The fear of anger and hatred, does not necessarily disappear from my heart!"
"Fandy, how's it going? Where is he now?" haykal said, Fandy was silent. Fandy's silence instantly shocked Haykal. He turned his head, Haykal's gaze expectantly. But Fandy's silence can't be covered. Haykal was getting more agitated, when he saw Fandy did not say a word.
"Why?"
"I'm sorry sir, since you left this country. No more news of him. He disappeared like he swallowed the earth. Abimata's family covered up her disappearance. Even in the pesantren, no longer there he became one of the students. He disappeared along with the departure of the master. Since then, I have never heard from him. Only I've heard, Mr. Abra no longer holds the company. Rumors are circulating, Mr. Abra Abimata is sick. His body had weakened since the departure of his daughter and father!"
"You lied!" haykal said softly, Fandy shook his head weakly. Haykal lowered his head, his hands clenched. The bitter reality made him instantly crumble. Haykal felt helpless, condemning his fool who had been regretted too late.
Braaakkkk
"Is that the destruction I left behind?" said Haykal, shortly after he hit the table in front of him. Haykal bowed lethargic, he felt the most stupid and cruel man. His decision not only ruined his life, but became the reason for the destruction of his beloved family.
"Where are Rafan and the others?" said Haykal lirih, sounding sobs on the sidelines he said. Fandy looked down, taking his eyes off Haykal. Fandy didn't want to see Haykal's tears. A tear of regret that made his great master fragile and shattered.
"Mr Rafan is now the backbone of the Abimata family. Madam Dewun chose to be a full housewife. He took care of Mr. Abra who was getting weaker every day. While Mr. Rafan's wife, managing the restaurant you will visit!" fandy said, Haykal kept his head down. Hiding her tears of regret.
"Mama's big family!"
"Mr Arya is no longer in control of her company. Miss Aira runs her father's business. Mr. Arya spends more time with Madam Dewun and her great-grandson. The health condition of Mr. Arya is not much different from Mr. Abra. But the lord of Arya was more rigid, he became the shield of the princess who began to weaken. Especially since the departure of Mr. Iman. Madam Dew's smile disappeared. He only laughs with his grandchildren and nephews!"
"A lot happened and it all started with my departure. I'm a coward who goes away, when everything feels heavy. I'm a traitor who made my own promise. Now I'm back just for one sorry word!" haykal said guiltily.
"Mr Haykal, do you intend to meet them!"
"I must go, the wound I left for five years. I will never heal with my presence. If they think I'm dead, I'm sincere. But I still have to try, returning the smile and laughter that I once forcibly snatched away. I'll apologize, even if I have to kiss their feet. I'll do it, at least that's all I can do now!"
"Mr Haykal, none of this is entirely your fault!"
"It is not entirely my fault, but I am the beginning of their wounds!" haykal said softly, Fandy looked down silent.
"I'm leaving now, send me the address of the restaurant!" haykal said firmly, then stood out from the meeting room.
"I came just for your forgiveness. I no longer wish for more, my stupidity that keeps me away from being happy. And I don't deserve that happiness anymore!" inner Haykal.
