FRIENDS ... (Our Story)
Friends 41.1
Ardhan slammed the door of his office hard. He swept away the broken item that was within sight and his hands until it fell scattered.
"boss, what's up ?" Mike went into Ardhan's room.
"why can you let Mike off guard ?!!!" Ardhan pushes Mike up against the wall.
He was angry, very angry.
Mike bowed, surely the news about Narra's proposal has reached Ardhan. Mike couldn't tell Ardhan because he had a reason for it.
"explain to me !" snapped Ardhan.
"because Andra threatened me through his assistant boss" Mike said.
Ardhan let go of his hand. He stared hard.
"Andra acts more than we imagine boss. He was watching my son at the state hospital P. I don't know where she knows my son. If I tell the boss about Narra, my son will be stopped. It's only my son that I have a boss after my wife is gone" Mike explained.
Ardhan took a few steps back and turned around, shuffling his hair.
Andra had been watching his movements all this time.
"so what should I do now ? I can't possibly let my Narra be with Andra" Ardhan was frustrated.
"excuse me boss" said Mike, not knowing what to say to help Ardhan.
"out !" shouted Ardhan.
"but boss.." Mike was doubtful.
"out !!!" repeated Ardhan, this time his shout was louder than before.
Mike finally came out of Ardhan's room.
Ardhan dropped himself on the sofa. He grabbed his phone.
"yes brother" said the opposite.
"what can you do Arini ?? there is no !" Ardhan.
"what the heck brother is angry" replied Arini.
"Narra and Andra are going to run the proposal in a few days and you have no movement at all ?" ardhan.
"what ?? I don't know that, brother" said Arini.
"do something Arini thinks !!" Ardhan closed the conversation.
*
Arini was angry, she swept her cosmetic tools at the dressing table with her hands.
"definitely papa and mama who have been holding this news from me" said Arini growled.
"i'm not gonna let that happen. It won't !" said again.
Arini snatched the small bag and the car keys. He's going to go see someone.
*
"sir Alex, Ardhan is furious but he won't be able to do anything without Mike" reports a person from across the phone from Alex.
"it's good to keep an eye on them" Alex said, then closed the conversation.
"what's up ?" ask Andra.
"Ardhan can't do anything without his assistant" Alex replies repeating his men's reports.
"good.he won't mess up at my application" Andra said.
It all started from his fellow doctors asking for help his opinion for the treatment of third-stage lymph node patients.
After looking at the patient data and finding that the person in charge of medical expenses is Ardhan Pratama, Andra finds out what relationship Ardhan has with the patient.
It turns out that the patient is the daughter of Ardhan's assistant Mike. Andra's idea to suppress Ardhan came through his assistant.
Alex's phone rings.
"yes hello, well, keep an eye on him" Alex said as he closed the conversation.
"bro, Arini's moving. It looks like he's up to something" Alex reports.
"keep an eye, I don't want him messing up my show" Andra ordered.
"good bro" Alex bowed respectfully then walked out of Andra's room.

After the morning of Ardhan meeting with Narra to discuss the advertising project, Narra's team set the schedule with a selected model of the client, Jeniffer Lindley.
It turns out Jeniffer's schedule is very tight. There's only empty time today.
Team Narra moved quickly by holding an impromptu photo shoot in the afternoon.
Jeniffer was leaning against the couch of the studio dressing room where she was shooting for Ardhan's property ad.
He had overheard the filming team talking that Narra and Andra were going ahead of the proposal.
Jeniffer's tears fell. She's sad. He should be with Andra now.
His stupidity made him lose the figure that used to love him so much.
He should not have left Andra. He should not have believed Ardhan's words.
Jeniffer is so sorry.
"Jen, let's change clothes for the next session" the manager scolded as well as his assistant.
"i'm not in the mood" Jeniffer said.
Eryn snorted, "are you sick Jen ?" tanyakanya.
"i don't want to continue this anymore, Ardhan jerk !!!" as if Jeniffer had left the room.
"Jen. You can't. Jen !" call Eryn to follow Jeniffer.
The creative J Advertising team gawked at Jeniffer who got into his car and left the shooting location.
"why did the model go ? the photo shoot is not finished ?" tegur Grey, J Advertising photographer.
"sorry, sorry.. Can we rearrange the schedule ?" Eryn.
"we should call our respective bosses to talk about this" proposed Frey, creative team leader.
"what is this ?" tanya Raga, the head of the production team.
"the models are gone, they have the shots rescheduled" Frey said.
"preferably call Narra" proposed Raga.
"my phone's lowbat, you're the one who called" Frey showed off a contrived smile.
Raga shook her head, she grabbed her phone.
"yes Ga" answered Narra.
"Na, the model went off the scene and they asked for her shot in the cancel" explained Raga.
"what ? why is that so ?" ask Narra.
"i don't know either, the manager was left at the site" Raga said.
"alright, I'll call the client to discuss this. You guys just get your asses done. We cancel until I get a deal with a client" Narra said.
"well, thank you Na" Raga said as she closed the conversation.
*
Narra sighed.
Why would Jeniffer make trouble, this way he would start communication first with Ardhan.
Narra then smiled. He'll ask Erick for help to take care of the matter.
He rushed towards the assistant boss's room.
*
Meanwhile..
Arini headed for a residential area located on the outskirts of the city.
He made a deal with someone.
Arini got off the car. He approached the man.
"how's Arsen ?" said Arini.
"i'm good miss, long time no see" said Arsen in a flat tone.
Arsen was one of his papa's men, he was once Arini's bodyguard. It's just that it lasted not long because Arsen was fired because Raihan Kusuma knew a tall, athletic man with slightly black skin because life was secretly fond of his daughter.
And one more thing that gets rejection from the Raihan Kusuma family. Arsen is just an ordinary person. He lived alone after his parents died.
After being fired, Arsen worked odd jobs, anything that was important could sustain his living costs.
"you're getting good-looking" praised Arini.
Ah, why can I say that. Stay more handsome brother Andra. Inner Arini.
"thank you miss" replied Arsen.
He was between happy and confused. After a long time, Arini finally asked him to meet. Though all this time the man tried to forget the shadow of Arini who was like the sky for him and he earth.
"follow me, we'll talk somewhere else" Arini asked while throwing the car keys at Arsen.
Arsen caught the key and walked to the car without speaking.
They got into the car and drove.

Narra sat in his chair. Erick's assistant Erick was meeting to represent Juna.
Then it must be him who contacted Ardhan himself.
"wait, I'd better call his assistant"
Narra opened his agenda book, he found a mobile number and copied it on his phone.
Connected calls.
"good afternoon, this is with Ranarra Sasmita from J Advertising" Narra explained.
"oo yes, what is Miss Narra ?" mike's voice, Ardhan's assistant.
Narra then tells her why she called.
"alright, I'll tell boss Ardhan. Later I will confirm again to miss" said Mike.
"alright, Mike, thank you very much" Narra closed the conversation.
*
Mike knocked on Ardhan's door. Although there was no answer, Mike went in.
"sorry boss"
"what's up ? I don't want to be disturbed !" ardhan Reply.
"so Ms. Narra called, she said Jeniffer left the scene" Mike reported.
Ardhan was silent for a moment.
"it's interesting.." he muttered.
"you can get out. I'll contact Narra" Ardhan smiled cunningly.
"i'm sorry boss" Mike came out of Ardhan's room.
After Mike exited his room, Ardhan contacted Narra.
"yes Mr. Ardhan" Narra replied formally.
"so how ? I don't want the ad to be finished not according to the schedule we have agreed on" Ardhan said.
"sorry Mr. Ardhan, your model is not working well together. Our team has run everything according to the procedure and according to the concept you want" explained Narra.
"or do you want me to cancel this ad project ? remember the value of these ads is huge for your company" Ardhan said.
Narra sighed. He must try to be patient so that Ardhan does not cancel their cooperation.
Great advertising value means a lot to the progress of the company and the image of the company in the eyes of competitors.
"i'm sorry Mr. Ardhan, we're asking for time to rearrange the schedule with your model. We hope you help your model not to behave arbitrarily, go from the shooting location" Narra said.
"this is still a photo shoot, not to mention the filming process..you still ask for time ?" Ardhan.
"sorry Mr. Ardhan soon we will arrange it" Narra said.
"it looks like I'm going to find another company to handle this project" Ardhan closed the talks.
He smiled and called Arjuna. He threatened to cancel their project on Narra's superior.
*
Narra looked at his darkened phone. Ardhan closed the call without hearing his explanation.
He must not lose this project. Inner Narra.
The phone screen is on with a call ring.
From Arjuna.
Narra sighed, surely the boss will talk about the Ardhan project. Guess it.
"yes, Juna sir"
"Na, Mr. Ardhan will cancel the ad project. Can you explain this ?" ask Arjuna.
Narra recounted the incident from the beginning.
"Na, I know it's not purely our fault but I don't want to lose this project. The value is huge" Arjuna said.
"i understand Mr. Juna, I will discuss this again with Mr. Ardhan" Narra said.
"i really hope we can finish this project. I'm sorry Na, it's not that I don't understand your relationship with Mr. Ardhan but it's a company matter" Arjuna felt bad.
"pak Juna just calm down, I understand very well. I will talk to Mr. Ardhan" Narra said.
"well thank you Na. You just go home because I'm not going back to the office. Maybe Erick is also so, the discussion of Alda cosmetic ads we discuss tomorrow as we discuss this further" explained Arjuna.
"well Mr. Juna" said Narra.
Arjuna closed the call.
Narra leaned back in his chair, he had to establish good communication with Ardhan for the sake of the company he worked for.
The message ringing from his phone.
From my dear Nda.
[sad, you're done with work ? I'm picking it up now]
Narra typing.
[iya ka Nda, I'll be ready 2 & down to the lobby]
[yes baby, bye]
[bye to Nda dear]
Narra immediately cleared his desk. But before he left, he called Mike's assistant.
"yes Miss Narra" said Mike.
"sorry assistant Mike, can I meet Mr Ardhan tomorrow ?" ask Narra.
"tomorrow boss Ardhan there is a review of the project, but I will arrange for you to meet before the boss to the project" said Mike.
"well, thank you very much Mike. I'm waiting to hear" Narra said.
"well miss Narra" Mike closed the conversation.
Due to Ardhan's private phone number, Narra was unable to reach him directly. And after all, Narra was also reluctant to unblock Ardhan's number on his phone.
All this time Ardhan kept calling her.
Narra hopes Mike's assistant will give word. If not for work, he would not ask to meet Ardhan.
Their problems are over but Narra does not want to get back close to Ardhan. There were limits he had to keep and Ardhan was unwilling to accept that.
That made Narra unable to get on good terms with Ardhan other than work.
