"Crazy, handsome ya dy" whispered Diana.
"Eemmm, yes, very handsome" Maudy replied.
The handsome young man approached Maudy and Diana, his face looking very clean with a neat appearance. "Excuse me, is this really Maudy's house?" ask the man.
"ee-ee .. right" Maudy replied in a soft tone.
"I'm a direct envoy from the company, entrusted to pick up the interns. All right let me help you get his things in the car." In a very polite and gentle manner of speech the man offered Maudy and Diana help. They also move things into the trunk of the car.
All the items have been moved into the trunk of the car, Maudy has also made sure that the house is well locked. After that they got into the car.
"We're going" said the man.
"Em .. pak-" said Diana.
Cutting Diana's words. "Don't call sir, just call Ken" he replied kindly.
"Eee, ken, our other friend wasn't picked up? this is over" asked Diana.
"Oh, your other friend was picked up by the company's car" he replied.
"This isn't a company car?" ask Maudy.
"Hmm, no. It's a personal car, ceo." he replied.
Maudy was silent, asking no further. In fact, he was confused and had a lot of questions to ask Ken. "Why do you know my home address? why were we picked up in a private car? why do companies ask for special criteria like myself to faculty? day ... Is the CEO of the company Aditya? ... Huuh." All the questions were stuck in his mind. Maudy felt that it was impossible for everything to happen just because of chance and luck.
"May, Maudy-Maudy plis. What is so special about you?, to think that all of this is arranged by someone. Yes definitely, home address tau from the campus, if about a private car, yes .. could just happen Ken is being assigned here, and the criteria, yes ... there may be a special desk job with that criterion" he murmured inwardly. Maudy keeps convincing herself not to feel ge-er.
"Why dy, so nervous?" ask Diana.
"Eemm, don't know na. hehe" he replied.
The situation turned very awkward, and Ken turned on the music to melt the atmosphere in the car. The song played by Ken is as percis as the songs Maudy often heard in the cafe Aditya. As Maudy's mind grew more and more disillusioned, Maudy decided to go to sleep, while calming her mind and her senses.
***
The distance from the campus to the internship location is quite far, it takes about 8 hours drive. Along the way Maudy fell asleep very soundly, while Diana stayed awake, she was hypnotized by the beauty of the scenery on the side of the road.
"Beautiful right?" said Ken. While looking towards Diana through the windshield.
Diana was surprised, she didn't realize Ken was paying attention to her. "Yes ken" he answered.
Ken smiled. "Your friend is very funny." he said.
"Hehe, yes. She was indeed very cute and adorable" Diana replied.
"Maybe that's the reason why the guy keeps loving her" Ken said slowly.
"Huhuh? she mean? how love?" diana asked confusedly.
Ken just smiled, not answering Diana's question.
***
After a few hours of traveling, they finally reached Jambi. Before delivering Maudy and Diana to the employee mess, Ken invites them to stop by at one of the cafes first. The cafe is in the middle of the city, with a luxurious classic design. Visitors are also crowded, the interior is also no less unique.
"Welcome to Jambi, this is one of the cafes owned by PT. Jambi Son. Please order what you want, free for you, later your friends will also stop by this cafe" said Ken, welcoming Maudy and Diana.
"Hmmm, so PT. Jambi's son has a cafe too" asked Maudy.
"Yuupp, and others, you will know" he replied.
Ken raised his hand, calling the waiters. Waiters also approached them with a menu book and a list of orders.
"What is the special menu in this cafe?" ask Diana.
"Yes, that's right mb. This menu is arranged directly by our owner" replied the waiters.
Maudy was astonished to hear the news from the waiters. He thought, It is impossible for a coincidence to occur many times, and increasingly felt confident that his conjecture was true.
"Di, Dy ... Maudy! bengong aja, ntar kesamet lu" he said. Diana gives Maudy the menu catalogue.
"Hmm, I want expresso coffee and cheese cassava, extra sausage fried rice cow's eye egg, same mineral water one" Maudy said.
Waiters repeated all Maudy's orders to make sure the order was correct. Suddenly a woman came to them, it was Shafira.
"Gilak, what stomach tuh, a lot of eating" said Shafira. With a mocking tone.
Maudy ignored shafira's words, she didn't want any chaos here. Waiters also gave a menu catalog to shafira to place an order and record the order.
"Luckily yes we are not all cars, must be very narrow, because there are many places to eat, hahaha" he mocked.
"Our heart is wide mb, so it doesn't feel cramped anyway, does Diana?" said Ken.
"That's fine, Ken" Diana replied.
Shafira simply fell silent, and did not respond. Because Ken said it as if to silence his mouth and mock him.
Shortly thereafter waiters came, delivering their ordered food. Maudy, Diana, Shafira and Ken ate very well. After they finished eating they returned to the car to continue the journey to the mess.
Arriving outside the cafe, Shafira sees Maudy and Diana riding in a luxury car with Ken. Shafira felt very envious, as she was only picked up using an ordinary car. The driver wasn't as cool as Ken, who was young.
Very upset Shafira came to the car, patted the window glass, asking ken to lower the window glass.
"What's wrong?" ken said.
"I want to get in this car" Shafira replied.
"I'm sorry, I can't, I'm afraid this car is so narrow" Ken said. Closing the window and leaving Shafira.
Shafira was very upset and embarrassed, she got into the car that picked her up earlier to continue the journey.
"Wait a minute, you won't be apprenticing there!" he murmured in the heart.
***
Arriving at the mess, Ken shows the room that will be occupied by them during the internship. The Mess is just under 100 metres to the office, and is very close to the city park.
"So, the three of us are roommates?" ask Shafira.
"Yes" replied Ken.
"Iyuuuhhh, no, no. I want another room" said Shafira.
"Please look for a rental room, or an internship somewhere else" Ken said firmly.
They went into the room, cleaned and arranged everything. Shafira took the initiative to monopolize the room, taking a large area to put her belongings. Diana is annoyed at Shafira's behavior, but Maudy always reminds Diana to be patient and not make a mess.
***
The next day, Diana, Maudy, and Shafira wake up. They prepared in a hurry, skipping breakfast. Once ready, they run to the office, because otherwise they will be late.
Arriving at the office, Maudy felt dizzy, her vision darkened and ..*braaaakk*. He fainted because he didn't eat breakfast and ran to the office. Some of the staff took Maudy inside and laid her on the couch.
After a few minutes, Maudy regained consciousness. As he opened his eyes, he faintly saw a figure of a man he was very familiar with standing beside him. Maudy tried to focus her gaze and sure enough she saw Aditya right in front of her.
