Allina Corp's.
Eric walked into Beni's manager's room, carrying a piece of paper that he had folded neatly and wrapped in a brown rectangular envelope. He knocked slowly on the door of his manager's room.
T-tok-tok ....
"Lake in." Sounding from within.
The man opened the door in front of him and stepped in.
"Good morning, Mr. Beni," said Eric.
Beni who was sitting in his big chair was smiling.
"Good morning, Eric, please sit down." Beni's hand pointed at the chair that was in front of her.
"What's up, Eric? Can I help you?" ask Beni.
"I want to give this up" said Eric. He handed her the brown envelope he had been holding.
Beni immediately received the envelope with slight hesitation, her forehead wrinkled while staring at the envelope that was already in her right hand.
"What's this?" beni asked curiously, He still refused to open the envelope. The man was waiting for an answer from Eric.
"That's Mr. Beni's resignation letter" Eric explained.
The man knitted his brows, still in disbelief with the one he had just heard. Beni immediately opened the envelope, he read carefully the contents of the white sheet typed by Eric himself.
"Can't you think about it one more time, Eric?" Beni seemed to deeply regret his resignation decision.
"I'm sorry sir, my decision is unanimous. I've thought about it carefully" Eric said with confidence.
The man who had been his manager for several months, could only snort rudely at Eric's decision. Actually Beni very regret his decision, because he is a very dedicated employee to the company. His loyalty is unquestionable, but Beni has a lot of respect for Eric. The man looked heavy-hearted about his resignation letter.

The news of Eric's resignation was heard in Clarissa's ears, the girl rushed to the Allina Corp office.
Clarissa walked quickly to Ivanka's room, before heading to her friend's room. Clarissa had her eyes set on where Eric used to work, but her eyes could not catch the man she loved so much.
Eric had packed up and left the office half an hour before Clarissa's arrival, the girl immediately contacted Eric. But with no answer from the man, Clarissa was really frustrated.
Clarissa exited the Allina Corp.'s office with shaky steps, she seemed to lose her spirit in life. Ivanka, worried about her best friend's condition, keeps watching her until she gets in the car.
πππ
The girl continued to drive forward her car, her mind remained focused on a man named Eric. It did not feel his car had now stopped at the cafe that he often visited with Eric.
Te Amo Cafe
Clarissa got out of the car and walked into the cafe, she sat herself on a sofa inside the cafe which is located not far from the entrance.
Clarissa orders warm chocolate, a drink Eric always orders while on a date with her. Somehow he really wants to drink the favorite drink of people he likes so much at this time, at least a little treat the longing that ambushes his feelings now.
Clarissa so enjoy the warm brown presented on the light green cup, the color is aligned with the dominant Cafe theme with green. Because of the concept of Go Green.
The girl looked back at her first meeting with Eric, a meeting she had planned. The meeting aimed at getting revenge on Erina, by breaking Eric's heart and making him suffer so that Erina also suffered. Because Clarissa knew how dear Erina was to her sister. However, all his plans had failed miserably.
The plan that he initially believed would work 100%, because it was easy enough for him to make a man fall in love with him. But destiny says something else. Clarissa even first felt the vibe of love appear in her heart, and she was so happy because her love this time did not clap one hand.
The man who has matured in thought and age declared his love for him, of course, the love he welcomed with joy. He forgets for a moment about his mission to take revenge against Erina, after all, no one knows that Clarissa deliberately planned a meeting with Eric.
While they were happy as lovers who loved each other, Clarissa felt a feeling she had never felt before. With Eric, Clarissa is his first love.
However, over the past few weeks. Eric has changed, his attitude is not as warm as it used to be. Clarissa only suspects that this is due to the pressures of work that take up all her time, but after hearing Eric's resignation today. It felt like everything was so vague to Clarissa, she had yet to fully know her lover. There were things hidden from him, as well as Clarissa. That closed the meeting about the secret that he knew Arga and Erina from Eric.

Eric stopped at a bookstore, wanting to buy some books to fill his free time on weekends.
The man had agreed to join the Montana Group company, the company owned by his sister-in-law Arga Hutama. But of course with some conditions, he does not want to be privileged. Eric wants to start his career in Montana Group from scratch, Arga offers for the position of Marketing Manager because Eric's shrewdness in marketing is no doubt. But Eric refused, he would start his career as an admin staff. He wanted to really struggle with his own hands and feet, so that he could be said to be worthy of being in the company that is now ranked number one in his country.
Eric walked slowly and observed one by one the book he was looking for, his eyes focused on the title of each book neatly arranged on the shelf. His hazel bead caught a book he had been looking for a long time, He immediately took it but his hand lost quickly with the hand of someone who had already taken it first.
The man immediately turned to the figure standing beside him, Frowning at the figure next to him.
"Miss Anggen ..." Eric's voice suddenly made the girl turn to him.
The girl commented a smile and nodded her head at him, Eric awkwardly replied to the girl's nod.
Anggen who realized that Eric glanced at the book he was holding immediately gave the book to the man who had given it ice cream the other day, the next day, it just so happened that the book they wanted was only one
"Thank you" said Anggen.
Eric laughed softly, the girl immediately looked at Eric with a strange look.
"Is something funny?" ask Anggen curious.
"No .. it's just. You always say thank you to me when I never give you anything" Eric said with a smile still on his lips.
Anggen smiled at Eric's statement, "I just said the word I should have said, sir."
"Don't call Master, too formal. Just call me Eric." Eric refocused on the bookshelf before him.
"Oh yeah .. This is your handkerchief." The girl handed him a Navy handkerchief.
Eric stopped his activity, he immediately glanced at the clumsy hand carrying a small neatly folded cloth. Eric stared fixedly at the Anggen brown bead, making the girl feel awkward.
The mood was momentary, silent,
"You asked for it, Miss, so there's no need to give it back to me" Eric said. He pushed slowly the girl's hand away from his reach.
"In that moment, I asked for this handkerchief. I don't think we'll ever see each other again, but it seems like the world is too narrow and it just so happens that this handkerchief I always take with me everywhere" Anggen said. He said innocently.
Eric watched Anggen for a moment, for some reason his previously chaotic feelings slowly began to calm down. The girl's innocence reminded her of her beloved sister. Yes, there are similarities between Anggen and Erina. Their innocence.
"For you, as a memento. So someday, if you want to cry and you see that handkerchief. You'll stop crying and I hope it turns into a beautiful smile" Eric said. His face looked so calm.
The girl named Anggen just fell silent, her mind forced to remember about her fiance who had heartily betrayed her. Suddenly his chest felt tight, He took a deep breath and exhaled violently.
Eric observed the girl's attitude as if he knew what the cause was, "You okay?" asked Eric worriedly.
Anggen just shook his head and tried to forcefully smile, "I'll excuse yourself, thanks for the book and his handkerchief." the girl again thanked him, Eric could only nod his head awkwardly. He felt bad because he had made the girl remember the problem again.
The man thought for a moment, He immediately caught up with Anggen who was still at the cashier.
Eric immediately stood beside the girl, Anggen looked surprised by Eric's sudden arrival. Anggen just fell silent, his feelings are now no longer because of. Both corners of her eyes were filled with a clear fluid that pacified, the girl immediately pursed her lips and looked up so that her tears would not fall.
The heartbreaking sight was witnessed directly by Eric, the feeling of guilt was getting bigger. The man condemned his mistake, he even ignored his feelings which were also no less deadly at that time.
The girl had finished paying for her book and soon passed without turning her head towards Eric, Eric immediately walked tailing behind the girl.
"Miss ... Miss Anggen." The girl didn't make her call, she kept walking regardless of Eric following her. The tears that he had sustained, finally escaped as well. He rubbed the liquid rough.
Anggen stopped suddenly, it suddenly made Eric jerk. He turned his body and now they were both facing each other.
"Please don't follow me, what do you want?" his voice sounded raucous, his tears were now increasingly pouring down his cheeks. The girl no longer cared about her embarrassment, the pain that plagued her inner self was more painful at this moment.
Eric felt what the girl felt, the same pain. But not betrayal, even more painful than betrayal. His heart was slashed to see the girl crying before him, the two of them did not even heed the dozens of eyes looking at the nanar towards the two of them.
"I beg you not to follow me again." Anggen repeated his sentence, but now with a raised voice.
"All right, I'm sorry. I don't mean to bring up your problems, I'm leaving. But I hope you don't grieve anymore, that man doesn't deserve your lament." Eric closed his eyes, he let out a rough sigh. The words that came out of his mouth seemed to be not only aimed at the girl, but also at her heart which now felt so painful.
Anggen nodded his head and turned his back, He walked away leaving the man glued to himself in the middle of the bookstore parking lot.
Seriate....
