Ex-girlfriend Diary

We Should Talk

"Look at you like I found myself. Caring for you is caring and loving for myself. If so, are you really for me and I for you?"

Tickles. The skin that was swept by the wind seemed to be quite cool. The weather is more friendly than yesterday. The occasional few gusts came quite soothing.

The afternoon atmosphere in the Rooftop garden The Narend's Tower should be able to make anyone who is there now quite satisfied and happy. The sky was clear with rows of thin white clouds that occasionally passed by. Moreover, the sun is not so hot. Unfortunately, not a single person seemed happy and enjoyed it.

In the chair of the garden with a sky-colored tent there were Exal and Omella who were sitting opposite. Omella's a little clumsy. He could only remain silent, withstanding all the questions raging within him. If only there was no table between the two, it was almost certain that the handsome man opposite Omella could see his cheating fingers on each other uneasily.

Exal, still holding onto the sheet of paper, looked seriously at the sketch drawn on it. "How is that possible?" exal asked without distracting him from the paper in his hand.

"Yes?" Omella responded, still confused. Also restless.

"How do you make this? Do you know anything about our new game? Who's your friend?" Exal flocked Omella with a question.

Asked so, Omella was getting confused. The time he has to be honest and say the sketch idea comes from his own dream? Are rich people later? The man in front of him was a stranger.

This morning in the costume room was the first time they met. There has never been any communication. Never knew each other. So it can be ascertained before the handsome and lively man, who was still sitting arrogantly, ever had a chance to know the contents of his head. So did Omella for him.

So, before answering the man's question, Omella first wants to answer her own question, where the hell is the dream idea?

"You must know an insider, right? Who knows about this game. Wh who? Call her name!"

Exal asked arrogantly and firmly. His eyes glanced at dislike. He thinks there's a traitor in his company. But for a new game that was even still in 70% of the planning, only himself and a special small team that he deliberately formed. The members of that small team were also his chosen ones. The people to him are the closest and competent in their field.

So, who is so unfaithful to divulge such important elements? The character of Lady Oditi is not an accessible element. Moreover, the sketch made by the woman in the opposite seat looks so similar to her own depiction of the character.

"Where do you know about Lady Oditi?"

"Huh? Who?" Omella asked back.

Exal flips his paper towards Omella so that Omella sees her own sketches. "It! You drew this, right? This is Lady Oditi. How did you know about this? Who gave you the information?"

Omella shakes. From my own dreams, he answered inwardly. But when he would answer like that?

"Know itself? No one told you about this? Or about our latest game?" Exal urged him, guessing. Omella nodded confidently. Isn't that the reality? So, yeah. Omella nodded, assuring.

BRACKET! Exal kicked the table and leaned toward Omella.

"You think I believe? Don't lie! Who leaked this game to you? Call her name! Who?" Exal starts to emotion. His breathing is rising. Her ears are red, a sign that she is angry. Exal is getting angry. Half-dead he tried to hold it.

"I don't understand why you think I'm lying. About the game, I don't know anything, sir. Then the information leaked, I don't know more about it. Only today did I know that the one I drew was Lady Oditi. Who I don't understand" Omella explained.

Omella's explanation even makes Exal's emotions become more. Exal is getting frustrated. One hand ruffled his hair that had been neat. "So you want to tell me you're drawing this because you know it from a dream?"

"Yes, Sir. Indeed from a dream," responded Omella excitedly.

But Exal got angry and, "WOY!" Exal's screams blaring. The veins on his neck appear to be curling. Exal is very upset. He was like a raging lion ready to pounce on Omella.

"EXOR!"

...*...

Badra is still talking through the wireless mesh voice. On the other end of his phone was a board of directors meeting and asking him to explain something about another project. It had been more than ten minutes and Badra was still pacing around while occasionally answering or giving explanations.

Come on, hurry up a little! When's finish? I have to find him!

Ten minutes ago he had seen X+ALT aka Exal secretly holding Omella forcibly walked out of the meeting room, not long after the meeting was over. Both of them walked to the elevator.

Badra was not willing to watch a woman being treated that way. Moreover, the woman was a figure who had once meant a lot to him. It is still. He's known Omella for a long time. Only, in these few years, he lost track of her.

Badra will surely catch up with them but

Adinia intercepted him with an important phone. So Badra was forced to abandon her intentions and take her phone call. He only notices the R button that lights up when the elevator door carrying Exal and Omella closes. R is most likely Rooftop, guess what.

Adinia's hand is still outstretched with a cellphone that has been connected to the communication line. Netra Badra is not willing to let Exal and Omella go. However, at this time he knew he had to be firm, not to be flustered and misstep.

Badra will not let them both go. Now the priority is to serve the board of directors with all their questions and needs. Of course, related to his work, duties and responsibilities as the president director of Benito Young Corporation, the core of the core of the Benito Group. Yes already, the mind, how else.

Eventually the conversation on the phone was over. Soon Badra half threw the phone in his hand at Adinia. Fortunately, his secretary was standing not far from him and was quite quick to catch his phone. Badra no longer had time to heed the surprised expression of his right hand as he watched himself go quickly to the elevator.

Not a minute until the elevator door opened. Seeing the view of a small garden that is quite beautiful in the open air, Badra combed the location with her neutrality. This time he set foot on the top of The Narend's Tower.

"Meet!"

Badra finds Omella sitting under the tent with Exal, the owner of XT Corp. Exal stood up. The man looked angry. With wide strides from her pair of long legs, Badra half ran over to them. Samar explained, he could hear their conversation.

"So you want to tell me you're drawing this because you know it from a dream?" he saw Exal yelling at Omella. His position is standing. He looks angry.

"Yes, Sir. It was from a dream." So Omella answered the man.

The up and down movement of his chest showed Exal getting angry and, "WOY!" Exal bluffs while crashing the table. Omella jumped in her seat. Gawat, Inner Badra.

"EXOR!" Sergei Badra. He ran over and stood between Exal and Omella. "Talk carefully. Hold emotions!"

Exal's breath hunting. His chest puffed up and down. He's still very angry. I was upset with Omella's answer. While Omella is still glued to Exal, she appears not fully aware that she is there.

Exal is really upset. He took Omella's sketch paper with one hand. Her other hand pointed straight, pointing at Omella with her angry glare. "Gaharghh!" Exal turned around, pushed his chair violently and left.

Badra and Omella live there. Badra calms his own breathing rhythm. He turned his head towards Exal and was sure Exal was no longer there. He loosened his tie and pulled out a chair for himself. Badra sitting. "Omella, are you okay?"

Only then did Omella fully realize, there was someone else who replaced her interlocutor. Omella's view turned from the road to the elevator to Badra. Choked. Omella is really lost for words.

Is this Badra? The badra I knew in the past?

As if he could read Omella's mind, Badra spoke.

"Yes, it's me. Badras. How are you, Omella? You disappeared."

...* *...

"No, don't talk about it! Same with Mama. What's the problem, actually? How did Exal get to be so so so very attitude?"

Madam Shanty looked at her three children in turn. Salma stood folding her hands on her chest. His body was propped up on a large work desk of Dutch teak wood. He slicked his shoulders in exchange for a not knowing answer.

"Wait a minute, Ma. Bungsu will be here too. Ask her directly with her son," said Rocky kalem.

"Where is Exal now?" ask the mother.

"Join the Omelette, Ma," Rocky replied quickly. Salma and Madam Shanty so gawk made.

"So Bungsu narik Omella to the elevator, Ma. They must be talking about what needs to be discussed. Yes, we wait a minute," added Rega.

"Why bring Omella?" Madam Shanty wondered. "Where are they going?"

The twins shook their heads compactly.

"Just take the elevator. And bring the sketch paper that Omella pointed to in a tight fit. That's lo, which has a picture of the game's character the Bungsu," explained Rega. "You know the problem with that sketch, Ma. Okay, let's wait. Mama should not panic. Just be usual."

The pretty eyes of the mama glanced fiercely. In his heart he agreed with Rega's opinion. Waiting is the only thing you can do right now. "But Mama is still not calm sebum know the problem."

CLINGY! Notification of the message on Rega's phone reads. Rega picked up her phone and responded to the notification. Rega skimmed, surprised, then hurriedly called.

"Sir, where are you? ... Okay. Waitaminute! Brother's coming."

All eyes were on him. Rega Nagendra pulls Rocky, leading him to the door. The twins were shocked but according to him. Then Rega said while opening the door. "Ma, we're bringing Bungsu to his office."

"Huh? Yep. I'll tell you Mama, yes!"

"YES" said the compact twins. The door of the room closed again. Madam Shanty and Salma looked at each other in wonder.

"What's the matter, actually?" Madam Shanty asked the wind and did not get the answer yet.

...* * *...

20 Minutes later at XT Corp.

Exal held an emergency closed meeting. Just like the meeting rooms in all the buildings belonging to the Narendra family, once the door is closed then no sound from inside can be heard from outside. And vice versa.

Inside the meeting room there are only Exal, his two twin brothers, and a special small team formed by Exal to handle the making as well as early trials of the latest game.

The small team that Exal refers to consists of only four people including Exal himself as the initiator and main creator. He is the one who makes the concept of plot, levels, and main characters as characters in the game.

The other three are Billy, Yona and Glenn. Billy is Exal's assistant at the company. He was two years above Exal. Handsomest. Good at work, friendly, warm, and disciplined. With Exal she was often asked to be a photo model and advertisement because of their attractive stature and appearance.

Outside XT Corp, men of mixed Thai-Turkish blood who eventually became Indonesian citizens with Bandung ID card were also concurrently as managers for Exal. In essence, Billy is Exal's number one right-hand man and confidant on the job, inside and outside of XT Corp.

Yona is a petite girl who is two years younger than Exal. Yona's ability as a gamer need not be doubted. Yona has repeatedly won the title as the second champion in various competitions and e-sport tournaments. As a subscription to champion one, Exal immediately hooked his fellow champions to join the company he founded three years ago.

The way of thinking in determining the strategy and technical play of the cute girl deserves a thumbs up. Like Exal, Yona is somewhat irritated to talk to strangers. In the eyes of many people, the attitude of these two impresses a quiet and introverted personality, even once considered antisocial.

Another with Glenn. Glenn's body was stocky, fed, and talked a lot. Despite his ability under Exal, Yona and Glenn often compete for the title of two. If Yona focused on online gaming, Glenn was forced to share his attention with the business world. Glenn loved to trade. For Glenn, in addition to the world of online gaming, the crypto market, stocks and stock exchanges are his other home.

Despite having their own world, the four of them include famous, qualified and respected e-sports athletes, both at home and abroad. Another thing that benefits both Exal and XT Corp is that the four of them are good friends. Even so far the four continue to support each other and maintain cohesiveness.

Therefore, the event of the appearance of a sketch of one of the important figures in the game that they designed together by outsiders became a big problem. Very large. Ever since the sketch of Omella was shown by Exal in the meeting room, Exal's three friends seemed shocked. The look of astonishment, disbelief and admiration was plastered without being hidden.

"That's Oditi, right?" Yona asked while standing up, leaning on her tiny body to more clearly see the sketch in Exal's hands. "good. On top of my expectations, instead." Yona sat back down.

"Couldn't you? You made it, Xal?" Billy's amazed.

Exal. "People outside this team. Even outside of XT Corp. People who say they don't know anything about online games and never draw these kinds of sketches."

His three friends slumped in their seats. They can catch the trigger of the glass temperament of the XT Corp boss. Leaked information. It's a fatal thing. Very risky.

If there are other development companies that know about it, then their ideas can be stolen easily. Of course, this will have a serious impact on XT Corp and potentially cause huge losses.

It wasn't a day or two that they designed the game. Will it go to waste as the information leaks? Just deserve Exal that angry.

"Even the name of the game has not been determined, even though there are several options. How can anyone outside of us really understand the character of the game? Confidential! Very secret! Why could it leak? Who's leaking it?"

Yona, Glenn too Billy looked at each other.

"Stop! Please, lah! If this is the way, our team can break. I'm not sure either one of us is so careless and leaking something as important as this to an outsider. Let alone people outside the office. The person in the office who is not on this team should not know about this." Glenn speaking.

Both of his friends agreed. "We're testing in a closed room. No one else can come in but us. How's the story about data leaking?"

Rega and Rocky observe the meeting from the corner of the room. They know quite well the Exal's small team. Both are familiar with them. It's hard to believe, some leaked company secrets even accidentally. Yona, Glenn, and Billy have become Exal's confidants at the company. Rega and Rocky know that.

"So, is it possible that a mosquito would come out of this room and spread our data to someone else?"

Everyone was silent listening to Exal. They are confused what to say and give a how-to response. Boss XT Corp was still overwhelmed with resentment and anger. I had to wait for the emotion to subside first. Then Exal can be spoken to carefully.

"Nothing is it, is it?" Exal asked again with a probing look towards his friends.

"Bos, there's no way we're leaking any data. Living dead XT Corp is our shared responsibility, right? You trust me, Billy, and Yona" Glenn said. "What are you trying to do to outsiders? If this game succeeds and explodes in the market, we are all hepi and proud? XT Corp made me a rich soul mate, boss. How am I ruined?"

"An accidental coincidence, maybe," Yona said. "I find it hard to believe, yes. But while think so. We'll investigate together, Xal!"

Billy agreed.

"You need a hacker to investigate this, there's. Ready. We're one family, Xal," added Glenn. "Don't let us break up because things aren't clear yet."

Billy spoke up. "This case, although I also do not understand why it can really represent Lady Oditi in our game, it could also be just a coincidence. Rich as Yona said. An unintentional coincidence. Can we, for a while, think so? Then we make adjustments to the existing plans. As we investigate."

But Exal still could not respond without anger even though his emotions had meteda a little. "So, I have to believe so well with the girl's answer, if she pictures Oditi because it can be inspired through dreams? Just make me crazy!"

"Exal," Rega pushed his wheeled chair, approaching his youngest sister. He pulled Exal's hand slowly, asking her to sit down. Exal also according although initially reluctant. "Propsy. Calm. Let's investigate first."

Rocky speak up. "Yes, Xal. And, for all of you, as XT Corp's supervisor, I appeal to friends, including Exal, who we talked about in this room please take care of. We're the only ones who know. Billy, Yona, and Glenn's proposal was accommodated. Anyway, keep the compactness and working atmosphere to remain conducive. Okay?"

Everyone nodded obediently.

"OKAY. Dissmiss."
