Alvian is now resting his body on the lounge chair on the balcony of his room. His eyes glared towards the sky that looked so dense. There are no stars, not even a moon. Only the breeze of the night breeze blew away her strands of hair. One hand was folded behind his head, while the other held a cigarette with its end burned. Tucked the cigarette and sucked deeply then exhaled the smoke into the air makes the air around it filled with smoke scattered.
"Ukhuk .. ukhuk .. ukhuk ... "
"Mother" cried Alvian surprised when he saw the presence of the mother while coughing due to cigarette smoke.
Alvian immediately ignited the tip of the cigarette in the ashtray until it was extinguished and then shook his hands so that the cigarette smoke passed immediately.
"You know how many times you said Al, quit smoking. You're so stubborn, anyway," ketus the mother while bending her face sour.
Alvian only chuckles then justifies sitting so that the mother can sit next to him.
"I'm sorry for your wayward son, Bun. Al's mind was mumbling again, so Al had a cigarette," continued Alvian while laying his head on the shoulders of the mother.
"Have, just an excuse. So find a wife so there is a friend, not moody anymore," said Bu Ayu, the birth mother of Alvian. "What else do you think? If there is a problem, the story to the mother, do not hold it yourself. Mommy is willing to be the temen vent you," he added while rubbing the top of Alvian's head.
"Bun, how can a bad person continue to be happy?"
"Indeed this world is like the story in the same soap opera in the novel, out of direct evil dapet karma. Lah ngak. Many of them are made happy to grandchildren. But that's not the point. That's what you call a test. They were given the greatest happiness, wealth, and power as a test, did they remember his Lord, was he humble, was he helpful, would he repent, could he realize his mistake, for those who do not graduate, sometimes there is a direct cash in the world, but many are the replies later, in the afterlife. Remember, son, God is fair. Every bad good thing we do, even if it is as small as zarrah, will surely get its reward. Let them do what they want in the world. Let them stand firm and proud in the world, but remember, every action will be in return. If it is not of man, then God Himself will repay him. Mother is sure, their happiness will not be forever. There will be times when they will receive the reward, believe me," said Bu Ayu sage while patting the son's shoulder. "It's night, the quarry sleeps there," said Bu Ayu as he stood up.
"Good night, Bun."
"Good night too, dear," said Bu Ayu before actually leaving in front of Alvian.

"Fira .. "creepy Nova excited upon arrival at their desk. Nova immediately ran and hugged Zafira tightly and his face was so excited. "Congratulations, beb, I really think that your abilities are still the same, not changed. Still great and cool as before. Cc ... I am proud of you, Ra. It's cool to know that. I'm not wrong to choose you to be the secretary of the jutek boss. She must not dare julidin you again after this," Nova's cerocos endlessly made Zafira chuckle.
"Va, get off! A second know!" zafira said as she tried to let go of Nova's too-tight embrace.
"Hehehe .. sorry. I was too excited about it. You know, the boss called me yesterday to keep nagging because I went that way. He had been hoping for a long time to get investors like Mr. Jay. Because of that, he was worried about failing Mr. Jay. He had doubts about your abilities, but thank God you were able to prove that you can. You are my coolest friend" Nova praised with pride.
"Not to overdo it," said Zafira low. He did not want to rise up with what he had achieved.
"The two of you, come with me," suddenly the baritone voice of someone interrupted the chatter of the two companions. They were completely unaware of the arrival of their superior. Submissively, they immediately followed Alvian who had first entered his room.
"Sit down!" His words to Zafira and Nova, while Alvian had first sat on a single sofa so they could face each other.
"Before, I thank you, Zafira, because thanks to your help we are finally able to cooperate with Mr. Jay. Besides, I also apologize for underestimating you earlier. I hope you understand my attitude yesterday" Alvian opened the conversation.
Nova and Zafira stared at each other and then turned their attention to Alvian who was waiting for Zafira's response.
"I understand, sir. I understand, his name is also a new person so it is natural that you doubt me. Anyone who is in your position will definitely do the same," replied Zafira wisely and do not forget a smile from the lips that are not too thin. But it looks sexy and sweet when smiling.
Alvian's heart suddenly fluttered. His eyes were now fixed on the woman sitting right opposite him. The carriage was calm and friendly. The smile that always shakes. Speak soft and polite words. His simple appearance and what it was, for some reason, was able to make his heart tremble and his heart pound.
"Sir .. pak Alvian ... "
"Boss, boss Alvian Altakendra, sir" call Zafira and Nova alternately when Alvian does not answer their call at all.
"Ra, don't-don't the boss tambet," muttered Nova who shuddered in horror.
Then Nova took a glass of water from the dispenser in the room. Then bring him in front of Alvian and splash the water on Alvian's face making the man jerked with bulging eyes.
"Nova, you're nothing!" Hardik Alvian with annoyed bulging eyes.
"Loe's no longer welcome, is it Al? We were calling, you didn't say anything at all" said Nova, who shuddered in horror.
"Heh, haphazardly! Gini-gini I diligently pray so where may be kesambet. If you mah yes, pray only Monday Thursday," said Alvian forgot that he was in the office environment. If outside they are like this, but if in the office they will behave like superiors and subordinates. But that doesn't happen when they're just the two of them.
Zafira frowned in surprise at the interaction of the two people.
"Enak. That's mah you," said Nova with a face flushed with shame.
"Udah ah, dizzy I ngeladenin you. Oh yes Zafira, according to our agreement yesterday, if you manage to make that presentation, then you will immediately be accepted as my secretary. Since you have succeeded, congratulations, from today on you officially become my secretary. So Nova, please, before you really get out of here, explain everything to Zafira. If he you think you've been able to handle all your work, you can resign early" Alvian said, leaving Nova flabbergasted.
"You're serious, aren't you boss?" tanya Nova assured.
"If you don't want to, yeah whatever. Your severance will be transferred early so once everything is in order, you're off duty." Alvian made Nova exclaim with excitement.
After saying that, Nova resigned to complete her tasks, while Zafira was still in Alvian's room to discuss something.
"What do you want to talk to me about, sir?" zafira asked as Alvian said he wanted to talk to her about something.
"Oh that, it's about Mr.'s offer. Jay yesterday, were you interested? I hope you accept the offer. There will be a special commission for you if you succeed in developing new ideas and are accepted by Mr. Jay," asked Alvian seriously.
"Emmm .. I can think about it first, sir. I'll let you know as soon as possible the results of my consideration" Zafira said, asking for a little time to think.
"Hmmm .. please. Please think carefully. This can not only benefit the company, but also you. I'll give you a special commission that won't make you feel like a loss."
"Good, sir. Soon I will inform you. At least a day before the next meeting with Mr. Jay." Jay." Zafira. After saying that, Zafira returned to his desk. Just outside Zafira from Alvian's room, Alvian's eyes were still on the door where Zafira had come out. Though Zafira had come out, but the pounding on his chest was still so felt.
"It seems that after the office I will have to check my heart condition," he muttered slowly while holding his chest that was a pause.
