Her.. A Choice For Me

EARLY MEET

Exona Landscape and Building Hotel, Jakarta.

" As usual, we will vote for some projects that I managed to get.. I hope your friends remain professional in their duties. Have fun without leaving a trail of stains for Exona. This morning's meeting is over..." . Jimsey Exona's orders led the meeting this morning.

" Yeah, Mahen... Soft opening about the standard communication security equipment for the building above 20 floors in Cirebon the day after tomorrow, you handle yes, I'm going to the USA tomorrow, Matthew was involved in an accident and his leg was broken ". Mr. Jim, his call, gave Mahen yet another additional assignment.

" I'm sorry, I hope Matt recovers soon.. Well, sir, after the control to Balongan, I'll stop by Cirebon.. Who is the soft copy file on? Ridho or Martha? ". Ask Mahen.

" Riddho... You can learn this this afternoon.. Thank you very much Mahen ". Mr. Jim patted her on the shoulder slowly and then they came out of the meeting room together.

When going to Ridho's desk to retrieve the file that Mr. Jim meant. Martha held Mahen back and gave him a black box with a golden ribbon that tied her up.

" I'm sorry sir, there's a package, there's no sender's name but it's certainly not b*m.. ". He laughed as he handed the black box to Mahen.

" Thanks Martha..". Mahen opened the package earlier on Ridho's desk and this action provoked his curiosity.

An invitation to a wedding.. Melissa Abigail Shiddiq.. And some stuff Mahen gave him, first.

An engagement ring and her apartment key for her stay if she's in Jakarta. Ahya, Melissa is not from Indonesia, she and her parents settled in the neighboring country. Her profession as a model made it difficult for them to communicate intensely.

I slightly forgot how painful it was to be left by her in my toughest condition yesterday. When I saw the invitation, my heart felt nothing more. I don't know.. Maybe not my soul mate even though I loved him so much first. Mahen recalls his past memories with Melissa.

" sir.. See this invitation, still feeling sick? If not, congratulations.brati Mr. Mahen has moved on...". Ridho opened his voice.

" Know you are Dho.. What copies of soft launching event files in Cirebon? Want me to learn ". Pinta Mahen.

" Hopefully find a replacement for Miss Lisa Sir soon.. Just local.. Heavy on the cost if imported, not satisfied if fight because it does not understand the language". Hahaha said while thrusting a map. Mahen simply smiled faintly in response to his remark.

" Dho... Sell my apartment this, the key you hold. 20% fee%.. Full documents.. Thanks ".

Bismillahs.. Looking at the ring box.. I let go of you Lisa, may you find happiness. Thank you for an effective year. I was hoping for you to be the last woman in my life, but God really wants something else, and I will try to be sincere.. Again. Mahen is still searching for his fate now.

6 Days Naya has lived this week peacefully without interference from Bagas.

His life route is still around the campus, Mall and boarding. On Saturday, Naya will be a job part time event: Soft Opening a communication tool for 3 hours starting at 08.00 - 11.00 noon at Bintang Hotel, Bintang, it is located approximately 3 kilometers from the Mall where Naya works.

Because of waiting too long for public transportation, Naya rather rushed to the door of employees who were on the side of the Bintang Hotel.

While focusing on putting the change in the bag while walking, Naya did not realize that the traffic light had turned green again.

Ciiittt... The sound of car tire brakes braking. A little more the front of the car touched Naya's body. His heart stopped beating.. Her legs suddenly softened, but feeling fine, Naya just bowed apologizing to the surprised driver.

" Rey.... Careful.. Where did that girl come from? ". Mahen who was dragging a tie almost hit the dashboard.

" I'm sorry boss, I was also surprised that it suddenly just appeared.. He seems to be in a hurry.. ".

The black Toyota Camry sedan then moved back, turning into the courtyard of the Star Hotel.

" Aahh limp... My feet... ". Naya immediately sat helplessly on the bench of the employee locker room part time. The shadow will be hit earlier successfully make his sweat pour profusely.

" Ain's... Come on in, we've got a briefing for a second ". Sandra Naya's part-time comrade from Yutmi Campus patted her shoulder slowly.

" Yeah, wait the minute.. I dandan used to change the uniform ". Sahut Naya with a weak voice because she was still in shock.

After a brief briefing, Naya and Sandra are currently in charge of a coffee shop. Thank God, I don't have to standby standing in the main room which is certainly boring. Naya said in a heart full of relief.

The atmosphere of the Coffee Shop this afternoon was quite quiet. When Naya is clear up a table. All of a sudden..

" Miss... That one, right? Is there a leg hurt? ". As for a man, still young, neat, drizzly, white, fragrant and ehhem pretty cute.

" Sorry... Mean You? ". Naya is confused at the man in front of her.

" i.. That almost hit Miss.. I'm sorry I wasn't careful.. If anything hurts, we go to the hospital for checkup, I'll let my boss in a minute ". Say again.

Naya did not have time to answer, there was a voice call from behind this man who was known as Rey.

" Rey... Documentation ". Said the man earlier.

" Ok Boss.. Waita.. Miss, I'm sorry excuse me for a moment, we'll continue again yes, I'm not done with you ". He said as he passed away. Naya sees him like she's talking about him to her one more guy.

" Sorry.. Good Day.. May I have a minute, Miss.. The ainnaya? ". Mahen looked at the name tag on his uniform. Rey told her that this girl was the one we almost hit in front of the hotel. Mahen felt he had to make sure that the girl was okay so as not to cause trouble in the future.

" Good Day.. Excuse me.. What business would you know sir? ". Ask Naya.

" Rey said the lady was close.... Is anyone sick? Oh, don't get me wrong, I just want to take responsibility for you ". Her eyes are pretty, her face is ayu, her smile is sweet. Why even admire this.. Inner Mahen.

" Thank you Sir.. I'm it's okay.. Sorry if there is no other need, I'm sorry because it is still in working hours ".

" O sure.. Please, sorry for taking your time... Missy.. If there are any complaints on the other day, please contact me at this number ". Mahen held out a business card to her.

" Thankyou Sir..." Naya received her business card. A man who is polite, cool, looks smart and mature, calm but his bossy aura emanated, neat, fragrant but not excessive like Si Rey earlier. His voice was heavy but soft in my ear. Oh, I admire it anyway. Surely at home he already has a beautiful wife, perlente so his look. Darling is sold. Naya murmured while smiling indistinctly.

After Isya, Rey invites out the Hotel to try some of the city's famous culinary as well as buy clothes for tomorrow at the Mall which is not far from the Hotel where they stay.

Ting. One message came in.

" Nay... I wait downstairs, parked the employee ". Just the day Naya calmed down, she showed up again.

" Don't argue.. Or I tell Abah that you ran away with another man.. Remember, it's not just you who can make a show, baby.."

" los.. Sak karep you ae.." . Reply Naya fast in Javanese.

Indeed, Naya does not like to be arranged especially by people she does not like, this evening Bagas forced Naya to participate in his friend's party. Naya's tired, doesn't she know? Boro-boro inquires first, Bagas only arranges and forces.

" in... I'm not good with my friends.. We're late.." Bagas pulled Naya's arm.

" I don't want to, anyway go alone.. They're not my friends let alone my business, I'm tired of Bagas ".

" Into ga... Or I drag ". Honestly Naya was scared, Bagas looked furious. He snapped at Naya, inviting several pairs of eyes to look towards them.

Pl-please.... Anybody... I'mfrightened... Pl-please... Inner Naya continuously chanted prayer.

Meanwhile in the corridor of the terrace mall, Mahen who was hard to feel tired, walked while continuing to blame Rey, why parking the car behind the building, so they had to turn first to the parking lot.

" Boss... That's the girl from noon, right, who's that guy? Ko seems to be forcing... Boss, please yuk.." Suddenly Rey stopped.

" Rey... Don't interfere.. Maybe his girlfriend ". Mahen's hand had already restrained Rey who was about to step there.

" Not boss times... Tuh... He asked for help ". Mahen was forced to look more intensely, right said Rey, the man looks pulled a girl forcibly.

" Please... I don't want to.. Please don't force it ". Naya almost cried if only, the man who was there this afternoon did not help her anymore.

" Excuse me.. Excuse me.. Don't be rude with a woman please ". Mahen said politely to Bagas.

" Bro.. Don't interfere, she's my wife-to-be... Brutal and unruly girl ". Bagas long ago looked like he was drunk.

" no... I'm forced.. I'm not his wife or girlfriend ". Naya replied loudly, although she was honestly afraid. Unintentionally Naya shifted her position to stand and take cover behind the man's body, without Naya realizing it turns out her fingers have been holding tightly to Mahen's sleeves.

Looks like this girl is right2 needs help. She looked terrified, my sleeves in her hands tightly held like this. Lord.. I hope I'm not destroying someone's relationship if I help this girl. Inner Mahen looked at Naya's reaction.

" Come with Rey... I'll take you home..". Mahen said softly to Naya.

" Don't interfere, I said...". Bagas was about to hit Mahen but Rey managed to dispel him first.

Bruughhh.... Bagas fell because he lost balance due to his blow that did not hit the target.

" Boss.. Let me handle it, get Miss out of here first.." . Rey said to Mahen.

" Be careful Rey... Miss, please.. We just want to help, please don't overthinking ". Mahen invited her into his car which was not far from their location earlier. Naya's hand grip on Mahen's sleeve nelum also removed her.

" You are safe.. Can I have my shirt back? You pulled it up to almost get torn apart ". Mahen was forced to say silly to melt the atmosphere.

" Haha... Oh... Sorrysorry... Thanksmeme it... I can go home by myself from here. Thanksmeme it... Ah yes your name, sorry.. I. forgot ". Naya, you suck, so shy.

" Mahen ". In the dim light of the garden lights in the Mall parking lot, he looks ayu with all its simplicity.

" Thankyou Mr. Mahen. I've called my friend maybe he'll be here any minute. Well that's him... ". Before going down the floor earlier, Naya sent a message to Agus to pick him up. Unfortunately, Agus' gasoline ran out so he went to the gas station first so Agus came late and Naya tried to buy time so as not to go with Bagas.

" Yeahkkk.... S*alan tuh people, sorry are you so long wait, you are flanked by Nyaak, gapapa right? ". Ask Agus in panic.

" Gapapa Gus, I helped him both. Well, thank you gentlemen.. I pamit...". Naya leaned over slowly as a thank you.

After seeing the girl leave, Mahen and Rey leave the Mall.

" Rey.. What did you do to him? Don't make trouble here ". Mahen opened his voice.

" Aman boss.. He was drunk so I asked security for help.. ".

" Report yuk... I'm tired.. My feet aren't used to it..". Mahen looked at his feet.

" That girl.. Fits his kayak.. One needs to be protected.. One can protect ". Rey murmured softly whether intended for whom, clearly her voice could still be heard by Mahen.

Upon arrival at the Hotel, Mahen then thought about Melissa's invitation, whether to come or ignore her. He wanted to see if his heart was okay when he saw Melissa coming back. Rey said no need to come, there are still many other girls I can get.

Rey Rey. You've never been heartbroken. Mahen said in his heart.
