The night with silence came, approaching Zalfa who had wrestled with his unfinished work again. He worked on the design carefully, and repeatedly corrected it if there were errors in the design. Zalfa was so focused on his work that he did not realize that time was passing so quickly. He gasped when he heard a voice echoing in a mosque not far from his apartment.
Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar's
Asyhadu allaa ilaaha.
The voice of the azan was still clearly heard in Zalfa's ears. He immediately got up after finishing his design and walked towards the bathroom to fetch some ablution water and perform the dawn prayer. After praying Zalfa put himself on the bed, not long ago he fell his eyes had fallen too far. Naturally, he has stayed up all night for the design that will be given to a large project.
"Drrr.tt......"
"Halo assalamualaikum," said Zalfa greeting, he rubbed his eyes when he saw the screen of his phone ringing, there was the name of a woman who was none other than his mother.
"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullah," said Zahira from behind the phone
"Darling are you busy today? mommy and papa want to meet you, there is a pentinh thing we want to talk about,” asked Zahira softly.
"Busy ma, but Zalfa try to meet mom with papa,” replied Zalfa
"Well, we'll meet you at the usual place,"
"Yes maa. Ma if there is nothing else, Zalfa wants to get ready to go to the office first" said Zalfa glanced at the clock on the nightstand, he saw the clock was already at 6.15.
"Assalamualaikum warahmatullah"
"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullah." Zalfa turned off the phone and walked towards the bathroom, it did not take long for him to clean up, finished from the bathroom he went to the wardrobe, he took the office suit he had prepared last night.

Space Mentari
Zalfa walked in a slight hurry when he entered the office lobby, he was already 10 minutes late due to the long traffic jam in the morning.
"For Zalfa" said one of the male employees.
"Morning," he answered briefly with a smile, without Zalfa noticing the male employees who saw Zalfa's smile were already hot and their greetings were answered.
Not far from where Zalfa was, a man stared intently at him as well as the male employees who were in the lobby. he walked towards the elevator and for a moment his steps stopped right in front of Zalfa.
"It seems you are very happy to be called a male employee” said Arion cynically
"No sir, how wrong is it to return their greetings. We have to get used to being friendly to anyone" Zalfa said without looking at Arion, while Arion was upset that Zalfa did not look at him while talking.
"Yes, then I first pak” said Zalfa stepped foot into the elevator and closed the elevator door when it was in it.
"It could be that he ignored me, but instead was friendly towards the male employees. He's getting bolder with me, just look at what I can do" Arion grumbled.
Arion walked into the room and laid down his body in his great chair, still upset at the thought of Zalfa being so indifferent to him.
Arion picks up the phone on his desk and presses someone's number.
"Get in my room now!" the order before turning off the phone
"good sir"
Never entered a woman in his room, a woman who was none other than Zalfa. Zalfa stood obediently in front of Arion's table
"What's the problem, sir?" ask Zalfa politely.
"Later noon we have a meeting with a client from DK Group. I want you to lay out the design you designed, and I hope you don't disappoint!" pinta Arion, Arion is so busy with his laptop. Yes speaking without staring at the interlocutor, Arion closed his laptop and his gaze suddenly led to Zalfa's face. As Arion's heart beat rapidly, he looked at the woman before him, and Arion quickly turned his face away.
"Why my heart? do I have a history of heart disease?" arion asked inwardly while holding his chest
"Sir," Xalfa called a surprise to Arion who was being lulled by his own question.
"Yes, why," asked Arion
"I'm sorry if there's no other work" said Zalfa's resignation from Arion's presence
"yes" he answered briefly
Zalfa left Arion's room with a thousand questions popping up in his brain.
'What Mr. Arion is sick, he is constantly holding his chest, ' murmured Zalfa shrieking armpits were walking towards his room
"Have forgotten what I care about him for" he said when he was at the door of his room, Zalfa entered and there he prepared carefully the design and the needs he would bring later to meet clients.
*Meeting Room*
Zalfa submitted the design to clients of the DK group
He began to describe one by one the results of his design in detail. Zalfa was so good in his presentation, in the meeting room, the clients of DK Group and Arion and Ardi stared in admiration Zalfa is so amazing
Arion did not blink even a single bit when he looked at the incredible Zalfa before him, he was already very sure to make Zalfa his.
Zalfa had already finished his exposure of the design he designed. The DK group company is increasingly interested in working with the Space Mentari after witnessing the greatness of the women in front of them, DK group immediately signed a cooperation contract without any doubt. They started to leave the meeting room, after the contract and handshake sign of cooperation happened, but not with Zalfa, he was still in the meeting room and sighed harshly after it was all over.
"Alhamdulillah is done" said Zalfa lirih without noticing Arion who was still in the same room with him.
"You're amazing, I'm proud to have employees as great as you," Arion praised the woman before him.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir. Hopefully I can be better, and thank you also for your trust in me,” said Zalfa politely looking at Arion who had smiled faintly at him.
Arion was further amazed by the hijab-wearing woman. Already at the top but not even a hint of arrogance in him, even the humility displayed.
