Look At Me Once

Self-wanted

Raiyan went into Alwi's room without knocking on the door first, so he was surprised to see his superior who was sitting sweetly in his great chair.

“Eh, Father has come?” raiyan asked with his innocent face.

“What do you see in front of you?” ask back Alwi without taking his eyes off the laptop screen on his desk.

“Sorry, Sir. I thought you wouldn't come to the office today.”

Without waiting for orders from his boss Raiyan sat in the front seat of Alwi's desk just like that.

“How was your wound last night?” raiyan asked again to eliminate the formal mode.

“It's been better, last night Anisa helped treat it,” obviously Alwi made Raiyan link his two eyebrows confused.

“Thank you, Rai. If you don't help me either father will happen to me,” said Alwi sincerely.

“Shortly, Al. Did I not hear wrong? Isn't Lathifa who helped treat your wounds not Anisa?” asked Raiyan curiously.

“Your gear is still healthy, Rai. It was Anisa who treated me.” Alwi looked towards Raiyan who still looked confused.

“Last night Anisa came home and did not so stay outside the city,” explained Alwi who saw the confused face of Raiyan.

“Oh, I guess you misrecognized people.” Raiyan laughed at the thought that his best friend had mistaken his two wives.

“Oh yes, this is our cooperation file with XX company. You check again, if there is anything less let it be repaired again.!” Raiyan handed over the files he had brought to Alwi.

Alwi took the file and began to re-examine it, opened it sheet by sheet and gave some corrections that had to be corrected again.

“Already, you tell them to fix it and it should be done before work. I'll wait on my desk!”

“Good, Sir. Then excuse me first,” said Raiyan and then stood up from his seat.

“Wait Rai!” calling Alwi made Raiyan undo his intention to open the door even though his hand was already holding the doorknob.

Raiyan turned his body back to face the boss. “There can I help you with, Sir?”

“Cancel all our cooperation with Sanjaya Group!” said Alwi firmly make the assistant widen his eyeballs.

“What? You sure, Al?” raiyan asked to make sure, only this time he saw his boss was linking his personal problems with his work.

“Just do it, I won't rethink it!” alwi.

Raiyan walked back to the chair he had just left and sat on it again. “Al, do you know what the risk is if this project is not continued?”

“Hmm, I've thought about it well, Rai. Sorry if my decision will hurt so many.” Alwi leaned his back on the back of the chair.

“But, I can not cooperate again with Mr. Sanjaya,” said Alwi who can be understood by Raiyan.

“I will support your decision, Al. Let me finish everything, I will explain to Mr. Sanjaya,” said Raiyan and he patted the back of Alwi's hand on the table as a form of concern.

“Thank you, Rai.”

Elsewhere, Lathifa sat pensively on a large rock lying on the shore.

Actually Lathifa did not go to the restaurant of his parents, he lied and origin replied when mbok Ijah asked him because indeed this morning he did not have the purpose of taking his body away where.

Lathifa was still in the same position, sitting dreamily with a blank look staring at the expanse of blue sea in front of her.

Even he ignored the beautiful scenery presented right in front of his eyes, the moment where the sun came out of hiding to share its light with all creatures on this earth

“Hah!” Lathifa regained her senses when the waves managed to drench her body.

Lathifa glanced at the circular watch on her wrist, the time already showing it was 10:30 and she felt like she was on fire sitting there.

“Alright, from now on I will make my own money and will not use the money given!” lathifa said excitedly, she stood up and walked away leaving the rock that had accompanied her since this morning.

Lathifa approached her motorcycle which she parked just about anywhere under an evergreen tree.

The motorcycle that was once thrown away by her husband finally returned to her after she whined to Anisa to persuade Alwi to return the motorcycle to her.

Lathifa rode her motorcycle at medium speed towards the Cafe not far from her old High School building, the Cafe she used to frequent when her late brother was still with her.

“Assalamualaikum, Sister Ana.” Lathifa greeted a woman who was busy behind the counter.

A beautiful woman who felt her name was called turned towards the source of the voice, she looked surprised and also happy to see Lathifa visiting her Cafe.

“Wa’alaikummussalam, Thif. Long time no see, how are you?” asked Ana with a big smile on her face.

“Alhamdulillah healthy, Brother. How is Brother?”

“Alhamdulillah, as you see.”

Ana calls one of her employees to take her job and invites Lathifa to sit in an empty chair in the corner of the room.

After chatting and exchanging news and stories, Lathifa expressed her intention to work at the Cafe owned by Ana, her late sister's friend.

“Kak, I want to say something,” said Lathifa slowly.

“Hmm, just say.”

“What Cafe Sister still no band-” appearance

“There, do you want to join?” anna quickly interrupted Lathifa's sentence because she knew what Lathifa was going to ask.

“Eh, what can?”

“Of course, but only weekends. Ordinary days are already filling it,” explained Ana.

“It's okay Brother, I want.”

After discussing the gig schedule and the details of the salary that Ana will give for Lathifa, Lathifa said goodbye to Ana despite being detained by Ana to take lunch with her.

Lathifa smiled happily, although the money she would get was not much but for her it would be very helpful for her life later.

Although his mother owned a restaurant owned by his father, Lathifa could not work there and asked his mother for a salary. Even his mother forbade Lathifa just to help out at the restaurant, his mother told Lathifa to focus on her college.

Inside the Sanjaya Group building there was an uproar precisely in the room of the company's leader, Mr. Sanjaya.

Brak!

Mr. Sanjaya slammed the dossier he had just received, his face looking crimson filled with anger with a hardened jaw.

“Brengs*k! How dare they decide on this project without my approval!”

Mr. Sanjaya is so angry, how not? The project they are working on is already at the top and just waiting for the results. But suddenly Alwi company decided unilaterally to cooperate.

And if the project fails, then both sides will both bear considerable losses.

“Awas you, Alwi! I will make a calculation because I dare to play with me!” shouted angrily, Mr. Sanjaya with his hands clenched tightly to reveal the muscles of his hands.
