Now everyone present is enjoying the banquet provided by the event owner. Dito who accidentally heard the chat of the staff who according to his estimation was talking about the goodness of Mr. Agam to his employees who will decline to Alex, who was, because Alex is the type of person who is humble and always kind to others, as long as he is not colonized first. Just like Mr. Agam.
"Sorry sir, ma'am if I interrupt your conversation but I just want to know the answer to my curiosity." Dito approached and interrupted two senior employees.
"Why sir?" ask the staff who know that Dito is one of the managers in the company.
"It seems you know Alex very well, sorry I didn't turn a blind eye to his whereabouts but I did not understand him" Dito said in an interview.
"It's only natural Mr. Dito, you previously worked at a branch office in another area, so don't understand Mr. Alex. Mr. Alex used to be active in this company, maybe for about two years, but he resigned because he wanted to try a new job, after almost six years there was no news, he is now back as his father's replacement. Though Mr. Agam is still very productive with his thoughts, it would be a very extraordinary collaboration if Mr. Agam does not want to retire, but how else, it has been his decision, he said, after all, Alex can still always consult with his father I think so." explained the senior so detailed to Dito.
"When did Alex get married?" ask Dito again who still does not believe the reality that does not fit his mind.
"Aren't you accepting his wedding invitations sir? Though all staff and employees can be all you sir." the senior staff was astonished by Dito's ignorance about Alex's decision.
"I accepted it sir, but because of my busyness, I forgot to put it where, so I haven't had time to read it yet, and on the day of Alex's father's wedding I couldn't attend because there happened to be my brother who had a wish at the same time." lied Dito to cover up his ignorance.
Not that Dito lost the invitation letter, but he did not want to read it and secretly threw it away, even what he got from Kyra. Because when he accepted the invitation he felt sick of Kyra who he considered would rather be the second wife of an old man who had a lot of money than accept Dito's invitation to improve and establish a relationship they return.
"Ooh, so yes sir, you are indeed very totality dedicated to your work sir, it deserves you are still young but have been able to occupy the position of manager at this headquarters." praise the staff that makes Dito feel big head.
"Ahh, it could be this father" said Dito proudly.
"It's true the truth sir." the staff still makes Dito even more proud.
"Sorry sir, so when did Alex get married?" dito asked back to the topic.
"They got married about four months ago, and a week ago was their wedding party, you know, they were forced to get married because they got married, so they postponed the reception." obviously the staff who of course made Dito surprised but he managed to control himself, so his gurgaat could not be read by the staff.
"Ooh, I see, sir, how unattractive I am to my boss just because of the focus of work and work." Dito pretends to regret his ignorance, only to cover up in case the staff thinks Dito is not considerate with his own superiors.
"It's okay sir, the boss must be very proud of a very dedicated person like you" the staff said encouraging Dito.
"Ahh, you praise me too much. Then please continue to enjoy the banquet sir, thank you for all the information you provide. I'm sorry if I've interfered with your time" Dito said, pleading with courtesy.
"Why am I so stupid like this anyway? Can I accuse Kyra like that just because of my heartache, and that man of the rice field? Is he really the same person as the new leader? Ahh!! want to put where my face is?!" Dito spoke to himself in a place he thought was quiet.
Is he regretting his ignorance, or his selfishness or his stupidity?
"That's why it's important that we learn to be humble as early as possible, dear manager Ardito, sorry if I interrupted you, but I happened to hear it." Dito is surprised by Alex's arrival to where he sits and regrets all his thoughts. I don't regret either fear because I've been underestimating the wrong people.
Alex, who wanted to take a short break from feeling a little tired of receiving a guest who gave him a good-bye excuse to the toilet, but he was temporarily secluded behind the building adjacent to the toilet, as well as Dito, but they are different sides just adrift the corner of the building, which is why Alex can hear Dito's complaints about his carelessness and excess attitude all this time to Alex.
"ah! Mr Alex?!" Dito was so surprised by the person who chimed in his murmur that it turned out to be his new boss who had always been insulted.
"Good day, Mr. Alex, congratulations on your appointment as president director of this company." dito congratulated Alex who appeared suddenly to cover up his nervousness and he felt his own carelessness in the current situation.
"No need to hesitate Mr. Ardito, I am still the same person you meet all the time and you met some time ago in the mountain slope village. My advice sir, do not like to be alone so that you always know everything about the vastness of the world and all its stories, too bad your intelligent brain but if only you invite to hide behind the shell." alex's speech felt like a slap for Dito who was always petty looking at Alex's condition so far.
"Let's join Dito again with others, so we can know that the world is colorful and not just black and white." Alex patted Dito's shoulder and immediately walked into the meeting place again, and again Dito felt pinched with Alex's words.
From the bottom of his heart, Dito is very embarrassed and shy about Alex and Kyra. It is a situation that has never been thought of in its logic. For pride has closed his heart and mind.
During this time he always felt above everything from Akex just because Alex was a farm worker and he was a manager, until Dito said Kyra had chosen the wrong stone rather than the diamond.
But he was the stone and Alex the farmer he always underestimated was like a piece of diamond that Kyra found and succeeded in his possession.
Because even if Dito has a position that is striking according to him in the past, it is not how much compared to Alex who is only a mountain slope person. Because in fact Alex is an agricultural businessman, the plantation is also a farm.
The word only 'deaf' that Dito had ever thrown for Alex actually even hit him, because even though he was in the position of manager but instead he was the real 'deaf.
Happy days are not comfortable yes Dit, unless you are smart menj*at your new boss :)
