*1 week later
Echo was very enthusiastic to meet Mr. Alex in the meeting room Alana Jaya Tekstil. Echoes sent by Mr. Asep to submit a letter of approval without the company of Mr. Asep because Mr. Asep is submitting a tourist proposal to another factory. Half an hour of echo waiting, Mr. Alex never came. A moment saw the figure of the girl entering the room. And at the same time Gema received a short message from Mr. Asep stating that Mr. Alex was not present because there was business outside the city and was replaced by his daughter. And it turns out she is Alana Putri Jaya, who is commonly called Alana.
Alana is the second daughter of Mr. Alex who just arrived in Indonesia this week after 2 years studying abroad . And she's also the girl who was accidentally hit by an echo in the pharmacy a week ago.
Echoes felt familiar after staring at the girl's face.
(I've seen this girl, but where?his mind).
“Good day. Sorry I'm late, I'll replace my Papa because he's still out of town. Has Mr Asep received the message?” Alana immediately sat down and said at length without seeing who was being spoken to.
“Good day, ma'am. I also just received a message from Mr. Asep that Mr. Alex could not attend today,” replied Echo while watching Alana who was busy playing mobile and did not turn to him at all.
“Oh sorry I thought Mr. As.. You know???” Alana was surprised after seeing the Echoes in front of her. (He's the guy who hit me at the pharmacy last week, Inner Alana).
“You were the one in the pharmacy at that time?” echo said after remembering the face of the girl who was in the pharmacy at that time.
“Iya, it was me. Who are you here?”
“I Gema, I replaced Mr. Asep met with Mr. Alex to submit a letter of approval from the presentation last week,” explained Gema while thrusting a map containing the approval file to Alana.
“Why do I have to deal with you again anyway?” muttered Alana while opening the map and started reading the contents of the file.
(Who would like to meet again the same strange girl like you, Inner Echoes).
“Sorry what was your name? Oh yes Echo,” self-answered questions. “After I read this approval letter, I think for the cost is too expensive yes for the family group,” continued Alana.
“Sorry, I mean expensive how ya? The price of such a package has been a special price from us for Mr. Alex and Mr. Alex have also agreed to it and just sign the contract,” said Echo relaxed.
“That's according to my Papa, but in my opinion it's another. Because I'm the one who was ordered to sign this consent letter. Including the gathering to be held by the factory, it has been transferred to me all for his approval,” replied Alana insistent.
“But mbak, Mr. Alex just asked us to send his file to be signed and directly dp payment,” reply Gema no less insistent as well.
“I want you to refute this submission, and I want it done tomorrow. Meet me tomorrow afternoon at Cafe O only, not in this office” Alana said as she left Gema in the meeting room.
“Lho, you know, mbak.. Can't do it dong?” said Gema while running after Alana out of the room.
(This is how it is, even so complicated gini yes.. Hufttts).
“Mbak.. mbak. please don't gini dong mbak,” The echo is clear on Alana who is getting busy with her phone. Alana suddenly stopped her steps and accidentally Gema hit her again making Alana fall but swiftly Gema caught Alana's body and accidentally both their eyes looked at each other. Echoes did not realize he was enjoying the gaze so much, as well as Alana. An office boy passed by suddenly.
“You're nothing at all hold-hold? What a chance!!!" alana exclaimed in surprise and instantly distanced her body from the Echoes.
“Sorry, sorry. I accidentally, I just want to help you not to fall,” said Gema.
“Mbak, price. Excuse me, can I clean the floor?" rework the office boy again.
“O yes please mas,” said Gema politely to the office boy while seeing Alana about to leave the place. Then Gema chased Alana back. But Alana passed into the elevator and did not care about Gema who was chasing her.
The echoes looked extremely frustrated, he returned to the office empty-handed. He thought about what to do when Mr. Asep asked about the results of today's meeting. Echoes put the file he brought on his desk, he sat pensively. He closed his eyes for a moment, but from the next direction Rani came to Gema.
“Mas Echo why? Another headache, huh? Here Rani pijitin his head!” said Rani while bringing her body closer to Gema. Echoes of surprise when Rani's hand hits her head. He immediately released Rani's hand from her head.
“Ran, please for today just do not disturb me first.” pinta Echo with a moody face. Rani could only be silent hearing Echoes to him. It's not usually that echo attitude is so different. Rani passed leaving Gema alone.
*Sore day
I heard the echo ringing phone. Apparently Mr. Asep was calling Gema asking about the results of today's meeting with Mr. Alex's daughter. Nervously Echo explained the incident this afternoon in Mr. Alex's office. Gema apologized to Mr. Asep for the failure of today's meeting that Alana decided unilaterally.
“Hallo Echo, have you met Mr Alex's daughter?”
“Iya Sir, I met him this afternoon. But there is a little obstacle sir, Princess Mr. Alex suddenly asked me to refocus the price of the deal which should be just a signature,” said Gema at length.
“How can it happen like that? Didn't Alex last week agree to the price and will pay dp soon?” ask Mr. Asep in wonder.
“I also do not know the cause Sir, I am asked to return tomorrow with a cheaper package price. What should I do Sir?” confused Echoes while rubbing his face.
“You have explained that it is already a special price for Mr Alex?”
“I have also explained in detail Sir, but Miss Alana still insist on asking the price to be lowered again.”
“Begin only. This afternoon try to create a backup package at a lower price than yesterday. But you submit the first package, if indeed he still disagrees. You can provide the backup package,” explained Mr. Asep gave another opinion on Gema.
“Good Sir, I will try to fix it by reducing the cost of restoration first. If there are other costs that can be trimmed later I tell Mr. back,” said Gema a little relieved.
“Good Echo, you send to my email later. I wait.”
“Ready Sir,” Responds Echoes when Mr. Asep hangs up his phone.
(Alana, why are you bothering me so much. Now I have to find a restaurant that's cheaper than the old package, Gema thought).
