Love, Let it Get Lost

A new day

The next day at exactly 07.00 am I arrived at my office wearing a long-sleeved cream-colored cotton shirt and on the neck there is an extra cloth like he is a tie but with a more modern model. And it was added with an ash-coloured span my knee and was so tight that my thighs formed beautifully. I tied my hair to make it easier for me to work around and pasted my long bangs behind her pretty ears. My makeup is not too flashy, which is important to look at and not be a spectacle material like a clown.

I stared at the watch in my hand as it almost reached Nicko's office with the book and map in my hand.

“Excuse me” greet a man who approaches me at Nicko's office doorstep.

“Ya” greet me with sweet.

This man wears a dark blue suit, black pants, skin and hair shoes so neat it looks shiny like wearing hair oil. So neat and sweet.

“Mbak fawnia?” Ask her.

“Yes. Can I help you?” Ask me back.

“Include. I'm Bima. Assistant Mr. Ferdy” said he reached out.

I smiled at her and welcomed her hands warmly.

“I Fawnia. New secretary Mr. Nick.. euh Mr. Ferdy” said I almost mentioned the name Nicko which will surely make him amazed.

Then he smiled back and let go of his hand post.

“I asked Mr. Zaydan to meet you, because he was in an important meeting with client” said he made me confused.

“If you may know, where did Mr Ferdy go? Is he also at the meeting?” Ask me carefully.

“Pak Ferdy is still at his house. And we don't know for sure when he's going to the office”

I nodded my head as if understanding his explanation. Though I was still confused, why his assistant was even asked by Mr. Zayden while Nicko was still at his house. Is he on a job at his house?

But I swallowed the question myself and acted not to find out about Nicko too far.

“There are a few things I will explain to you about the work you are going to do. Because some days I took part in routine schedule Mr. Ferdy. But before his sir Ferdy asked me to ask first whether you have a special schedule for holidays or for personal interests?” Her question confused me.

“My special schedule?” Ask me to make sure.

“Iya”

I feel something is wrong.

“Why ask such a thing sir? That would be personal”

“Pak Ferdy just don't want to interrupt your personal schedule, and make you uncomfortable to work” I understand now, Nicko must be trying to make me comfortable working with him so he offers me a schedule to work as I see fit.

“Pak. I will follow the schedule of what has been implemented by Mr. Ferdy and I do not need to be spoiled with my personal affairs. I will definitely be as professional as possible” replied me firmly.

This man seemed to be sighing so deeply when he heard my answer.

“Good then. Immediately I will give the schedule Mr. Ferdy to your e-mail and you just follow the schedule he” replied with a smile.

I nodded sweetly to be grateful.

“Then let's go inside, we'll start discussing your work and the room for you to occupy”

“Good Sir. Thanks”

“This is your room” said he pointed to the table that was on our right side as soon as we entered the main room. It was a place I passed by yesterday and looked empty, but now it would be my personal space.

“So if anyone is going to meet Mr. Ferdy he has to pass you first, either by phone or when he goes into”, he said while pointing at the glass door in front of us.

Yes my room is not as big as the main director's room of course, but the concept of the room is so artistic and very comfortable also so bright, with a shiny brown table that is long and half circular, small cupboards to keep the files behind her, and large flower pots in every corner of the room, made me so comfortable sitting there. Not to mention the walls of my room made of glass that made anyone who passed me see me clearly.

“And let me show you the main director's room” he again invited me to the next door, the room yesterday where I met again with Nicko for the first time after so long.

“This is Mr. Ferdy”'s private room

this room is so bright because the outer wall is made of glass so that the light enters without the need for additional lighting. There is a long and neat work desk, complete with office equipment. In addition to the room there are also 3 sofas made of brown leather to receive guests who come to this room. There are so many luxurious decorations around here that will amaze anyone who sees it, including me. The concept is nuanced European and dark colored like his favorite. I still remember that.

So long and wide he explained every corner of the room that was here, and he also had time to explain a little routine activities Nicko when in the office.

“Oh yes one more” his words remember something.

“There are drinks that you should prepare if Mr. Ferdy asks suddenly and should not be empty in pantry”

“What?” Ask me a curious.

“Susu caramel” answer her make me jerked and stupefied to hear her.

Milk Caramel. Exactly what we liked a long time ago. Suddenly I daydreamed and recalled our old days.

Nicko and I have loved caramel since childhood, and even today we still love caramel milk.

“Mbak Fawnia?” Call that guy trying to get me back to the real world.

“Iya” answer me with a clumsy face.

“You can check on your desk computer, whether there is an incoming e-mail for Mr. Ferdy or not. If anything, you immediately tell Mr. Ferdy and you can also re-record all of Mr. Ferdy's schedules in your own way. For sure can not be mistaken or wrong”

“Good. Thank you” replied me with a smile back.

“Do you want to ask Ma'am Fawnia?” Ask her by just continuing to call me with the name Ma'am that sounds so uncomfortable in my ears.

“Can you please call me with Fawnia only? Because I was so weird with calling ‘Mbak’ “ pinta me with full honesty.

“Good. Then you can also call me with Bima just so we are the same”

I nodded my head feeling happy about getting a good response from my new partner.

“Ya alright. Because I think by calling by name, can make us closer”, my answer made him look at me confused. Then I just realized my words would make him misunderstand.

“Euhh.. I don't mean such closeness, but our closeness as subordinates of Mr. Ferdy” panicked me to re-justify my words.

Then he smiled at my stupidity. And I also smiled with her clumsily.

Suddenly someone came into the room in the middle of our laughter.

Nickos. She was surprised to see the two of us in her room looking so happy. Bima and I were also surprised by Nicko's sudden presence.
