Chapter 8 - Establishing Cooperation
Restaurant X became an important meeting place between Jordy and new clients who were willing to invest in his company. However, it had been almost an hour that he and Zora were sitting here, there was no sign of the arrival of the man.
"Why isn't he professional, anyway? How long are we waiting here? A waste of time." Zora is upset to see Jordy and the assistant of their important client.
"Zora you need to calm down, keep your attitude!" jordy whispered in Zora's ear.
"Wait until what time? It's almost 8pm, you know!" jolt Zora, not heeding her husband's words.
The main door made entirely of glass was wide open. A well-built man stepped steadily closer to Jordy's desk. His presence attracted the attention of the people who were there especially Zora and Jordy.
"Did I make you wait too long?"
The man's question made Jordy and Zora startled and immediately stood up to greet him.
"Ti-no," Zora replied, she was fascinated to see her interlocutor. "W-are you Mr Arjuna who will be an insvestor in our company?"
'Huh our company? They are very shameless.' Arjuna smiled lightly. It was clearly Nana's company they had stolen.
"Please sit down, sir!" Teo's assistant Arjuna lets his boss sit down.
Juna sat quietly.
"Please sit down" Juna told Zora and Jordy.
"Iy-iya, introduce my name is Jordy and this is my wife Zora." Jordy reached out her hand to introduce herself. However, Juna did not welcome him. The man just nodded.
"It is true that Mr. Teo said that Mr. Arjuna who is full of charisma and prestige must come," said Jordy as he pulled his hand.
"That's too much, but take it easy because I'll never renege on the promises I've made, but it seems like my time isn't too much, what if we just get straight to the point. Teo explained everything, didn't he?"
Juna patted Teo on the shoulder as a sign that he wanted to finish everything immediately and left in front of the two people he wanted to teach a lesson to.
"Yes, Sir. Just waiting for your signature."
Teo gave him a pen and opened the files that Arjuna would sign.
"Wouldn't we have dinner first, sir?"asked Zora who had barely blinked to look at Juna.
"No, I still have another job and you don't have to call Mister, just call Juna. "
"Oh, yes, Mr. Juna" said Jordy.
Without many words, Arjuna immediately scratched his precious signature on the file, starting today they officially establish cooperation.
Jordy and Zora smiled in relief, because indeed these few months their company finances are unstable because they use a lot of money for the streets and buy some expensive items to support the appearance and just poya-foya abroad.
"Please continue your dinner, let me pay."
Arjuna took several pieces of money hundreds of thousands of dollars from the wallet, then placed on the table.
"I have to go!" Arjuna got up from his seat, but Jordy held him back.
"Thank you for all of this, but if Mr. Juna doesn't mind, tomorrow night I will have a small party to celebrate our cooperation and I hope Mr. Juna can attend the party."
"Well, I'll try to come!" said Arjuna and immediately left without looking again. Teo followed him.
"I'm sure he must be rich until he wants to invest this much stock in our company" Zora said.
"You're amazed by him? Daritadi didn't blink!" annoyed Jordy while taking the money that Juna left behind.
"No! It's just a twilight because your company didn't go bankrupt and my boutique didn't go on sale!"
"Eat it if you can spend on the handle, dong! Don't like shopping! You can follow Nana!"
"Nana again, Nana again! Nana's dead don't you have to say her name again!" zora screeched, some people looked towards her.
In order to avoid a showdown that would attract the attention of others, Jordy finally chose to shut up and started ordering food.
***
Outside the restaurant.
"This is the identity card you asked for!"
A new identity card is finished like a wish, just run the plan.
"Good! You are always reliable. Keep an eye on their movements!"
"Good, Master!"
Arjuna keeps Nana's new identity card in the pocket of the black suit he is wearing and gets into the car and asks the driver to drive the car somewhere.
***
While Nana had no appetite, her eyes always saw an empty chair before her. Usually at dinner like this Arjuna sat in that chair, but tonight he was alone.
"You don't eat? Here I am," asked Nana to the servant who was standing not far from her. "Why stand there? Usually this hour is too bad."
"Order Mr. Juna, I have to look after and make sure mom spends dinner."
"Where did Juna go? Usually before he goes he finds me first. He didn't say good to me, but he did say good to you."
"Maybe there's some important business."
'What's important? Why not pay? Does Arjuna want to propose to his girlfriend? Huh, why am I so curious like this?'
Nana is not mean jealous because there is a sense in the heart for Juna, but why he felt after the incident in the sports room earlier, Arjuna seemed to avoid it.
***
At exactly 12pm, Arjuna opened the main door and was surprised to see Nana sleeping on the sofa located in the living room.
Juna accidentally returns home late at night so as not to awkwardly meet Nana. But, it was unexpected that Nana even fell asleep on the sofa.
"Why are you sleeping here? No way to wait for me, right?"
Arjuna squatted down in front of Nana, he slipped fine hair behind Nana's ears. He stared at the shady face without a speck of acne or blemishes that look very beautiful. Nana's volume of lips reminded Juna of the incident this afternoon, without realizing Juna stroked Nana's cheek.
"Prepare for tomorrow, you can definitely take revenge and you alone must do it, I will only monitor from afar."
Juna does not have the heart to wake and disturb Nana's deep sleep, but there is no way he will let Nana sleep alone in the living room. Finally Juna carried Nana to his room.
***
Juna laid Nana on the bed.
"Don't go! Don't leave me...."
It seems Nana is delirious, both eyes of this woman are closed but she spoke while holding Juna's hand as if she did not want to be far from Juna.
"Stay here, don't leave me...."
This time Nana looks restless, even her hands are getting clutching Juna's arms.
"Calm down, I'm here." Juna was forced to sit on the edge of the bed, but suddenly Nana pulled him until he fell and almost overpowered Nana.
"Are you having nightmares?" Patted Nana's cheek so that this woman awake from the dream. But, Nana did not say anything more, just a sigh that sounded in the ear until Nana slept soundly again.
