Lily Flowers for Prince

7. Rakha

Flashback about Rakha

Lily got to know Rakha two years ago when Lily's office used Rakha's office services to relocate the house of one of the office experts from Jakarta to Balikpapan.

Rakha is one of the marketing staff in his office. At that time he was the one who communicated with Lily about the price and all the procedures of the relocation service.

A relocation or relocation service is a professional service that helps to move homes or offices. This service will maintain and ensure the safety of equipment, furniture and items during the transfer process.

After that Rakha often sends something to Lily to the office. Even though Lily's office at that time was finished using Rakha's office services.

One day Lily gets a delivery of a flower bucket. Nothing special was celebrated that day.

Once upon a time Lily got a brown parcel with a white ribbon decoration.

And most surprisingly, she knew Lily's lecture schedule every Saturday and week.At that time Lily was in college completing her post-graduate level.

Every time Lily left for college, Rakha was waiting for her in front of her aunt Elly's house. Because it turns out Rakha's house is only five blocks from Elly's aunt's house. According to Rakha, she had seen Lily there.

Aunt Elly is Papa's sister who lives in Jakarta. When Lily continued her S2 education while working in Jakarta, Lily lived there.

He's smart to take the heart of parents. Aunt Elly loved it. According to Aunt Elly, Rakha is a gentleman who is polite, considerate and kind. That's why Aunt Elly always allows Rakha to come and ask for permission to take Lily to campus. Aunt Elly also took Rakha to Bandung to Papa's house when Lily and Aunt Elly wanted to go home. And introduced her as Lily's close friend to papa.

At that time, Papa asked Rakha's seriousness towards Lily. Rakha declares that she is serious with Lily until Papa allows Rakha to have a serious relationship with Lily. Lily has no special feelings for Rakha. As people say, falling in love is beautiful. But Lily did not seem to feel what she often heard from others. He just had a good relationship with Rakha.

They never even made physical contact. Lily always refuses if Rakha tries to touch her even holding hands.

Lily also knows Rakha's family. Lily was invited by Rakha several times to meet her parents. Rakha's mother is very kind to Lily, as well as Rakha's two older sisters who live in her mother's house.

Six months after they had a relationship. Rakha in PHK from his office due to employee reductions. His office is threatened with closure due to bankruptcy. Employee salaries for months are not paid.

Every time you eat together or just chat in a cafe, Lily always pays the bill. No problem for Lily. In addition to her salary is also very more than enough for her personal needs, Papa always routinely sends money monthly to Lily. Even though all the money Papa sends Lily to save in savings.

"Ly, I think I'd like to open my own business. Finding a new job is very difficult" Rakha said Saturday afternoon as they sat in a cafe near Lily's campus.

"It seems pretty good your wish" Lily responded enthusiastically.

"What business plan are you going to set up?" ask Lily

"i am interested in becoming one of the agents of PT JNI, a shipping and logistics services company" Rakha replied.

"I know, I often send packages of goods and documents to Balikpapan through JNI" Lily said.

"Also open a business selling motor vehicle parts. The prospects are very good. My parents used to do business in this field. So later the marketing can also be online. Naah online booking it can be sent through our JNI, Ly" Rakha spoke with great enthusiasm.

"Mmhhhh.good also yes your plan. It looks like the business is promising" Lily commented impressed.

"But I have no capital, Ly" said Rakha with a gloomy face.

"Can you help me give you some capital? Later this effort will be our joint effort"Rakha continued, staring at Lily expectantly.

"About how much nominal is required?" ask Lily

"One billion more, Ly. But at the beginning a hundred million is enough, Ly. What is important for JNI agency first" replied Rakha spirit.

"Ok, I'll help you with the capital. We'll talk about the stages again. Please just give me the details of her capital" Lily said

"Let me prepare" said Rakha eagerly.

" I'll leave for Balikpapan tomorrow. Probably about two weeks there. We can talk about whatsapp" Lily said

"Ly, I've got a shophouse for the office. It's been a deal at thirty million for a year. If you can, you transfer Ly's money. So that it can immediately be surveyed from JNI headquarters" Rakha said by telephone.

Lily was shocked.

"Koq's already a shophouse deal? I guess we'll talk about all the planning together first" Lily said in a disappointed tone

"if you wait to return from Balikpapan later Ly. Yesterday I submitted an agency to JNI headquarters. I used my brother's business entity, Ly. to be quick."

"If we take care of the establishment of a new company later. I can't stand not working Ly"

"If you mind. I can cancel the submission of the agency" continued Rakha slowly.

"I'm just surprised, koq you've moved on your own without telling me. This is our joint effort, meaning we both take care of everything"

"you're busy, Ly. Now you're in Balikpapan. Besides, you can't come with me to take care of it" Rakha said

"right at least before you apply for the agency, you're my info" Lily said

"You don't believe me, Ly?"rakha asked Lily to make her feel bad.

"Not so, Rakha" Lily said

"Yes, I transfer tomorrow. If the amount is a bit much, I have to go to the Bank" Lily said

"yes, Ly. It was a hundred million first. For JNI shophouses, agency guarantees and office equipment purchases" Rakha said.

"Then you return to Jakarta, the office is ready anyway, Ly" Rakha said again.

"Good tomorrow I transfer" Lily said

"Thank you, Lily"

Lily doesn't trust Rakha. It's just that he feels a little strange. His feeling is uncomfortable. But maybe Rakha will lie to him. Rakha is her future husband.

Lily returned to Jakarta after her stint in Balikpapan was extended to one month.

The plan today is Lily will see JNI agent shophouse. It just so happens that Saturday school is off. Because Lily is just waiting for the graduation schedule.

Rakha invites Lily into the shophouse. There was a man sitting at the service desk serving customers.

Lily had not expected Rakha to recruit employees this soon. Given the work activities as an agent of JNI is not too dense. Yes although it takes an employee to help, at least info to Lily.

But the truth is, everything was never revealed to Lily. Rakha seemed to want to have this business of his own. Lily bathed.

"That's my cousin's sister downstairs. Poor him not working. So I work here" Rakha said.

"ooh so" muttered Lily. For some reason, Lily's feeling bad. Lily is not interested to discuss about the office of this JNI agent.

Maybe Rakha wants to show that she can run all by herself without Lily's interference.

"Later to see the details of the money I transferred yesterday, Kha" Lily said.

"Let me help with the record" Lily said again.

"you don't believe me, Ly. Until you ask for details. Later if this effort goes forward. It's for you too" Rakha said in an annoyed tone.

"I don't trust you. But it's a business, a company. All incoming and outgoing money transactions should be clearly recorded, Rakha"Lily explained.

"no need to bother, Ly. The plan is to recruit an administrative staff to take care of all financial records" Rakha said.

"Wouldn't it be a waste to hire employees? Your efforts have just begun. Maybe it should be seen first for the next three months" said Lily.

"No, Ly. Later he will take care of the shop selling motor vehicle parts as well. Next week we'll see the shop, Ly. Then later I will continue to take care of cooperation with the importer of spare parts" said Rakha.

"Don't forget to transfer ya, Ly. One billion is enough Ly" Rakha is so excited.

Lily was still thinking. He can't say it yet.

"Yes, Ly. You must not doubt. All this for us too. You also do not have to bother thinking about it. I can certainly take care of my own business" Rakha asserted. Convince Lily who hesitated a little.

"With a billion capital, we can have enough stock.The profits obtained later are also quite large, Ly. Just relax anyway. If this effort is successful to please you too" Rakha reassured Lily.

Lily took a breath.

"Yes, Rakha. I support all your plans. Next week I'm transferring the money. So that the spare parts store also opened soon" Lily finally made a decision. He forced his heart to assume that Rakha's intentions must be good. They will marry anyway. If Rakha is successful with her business, Lily is also happy.
