LOVE STRATA 1

CS1 Cooperation

The cold air of AC began to feel when Meli stepped her feet in the lecturer's room. Unlike Pak Koko's own room, because he is the head of the department. The lecturer room that Meli entered was seen in a row between lecturer desks. More than a dozen tables in the room. In the middle of the room there is a large table with chairs around it, which is commonly used for meetings of lecturers.

The large room looked quiet when Meli entered, because the lecturers were still teaching in the classroom. Meli noticed the writing on the name tag attached to each table. Mr. Nizar's name was sought.

Meli's face looks cheerful when she finds Mr. Nizar's desk. Meli more cheerful when looking back after hearing the sound of pantofel shoes. A greeting was also heard later.

"Pak Nizar," said Meli in a cheerful tone.

"Searching me?" ask Pak Nizar kindly with a special tone of Java.

"Yes, Sir. I want to meet and consult with Mr. Nizar," said Meli eagerly.

"Okay, please." Mr. Nizar stepped onto his desk and put down the laptop he had brought.

Meli tailed behind Mr. Nizar. As soon as invited to sit by Mr. Nizar, Meli sat down.

Mr. Nizar asked for permission to briefly pick up the phone from Mr. Koko. Meli nodded, and unceasingly noticed Pak Nizar's charm with his java-typical tone. When Mr. Nizar finished receiving the phone, Meli still watched with a cheerful smile, until Mr. Nizar cleared his throat.

"Ehem. Sorry, you ...." Mr. Nizar's words were immediately interrupted by Meli.

"I'm Meli, sir." Meli was very enthusiastic, making Mr. Nizar a little chuckle slowly because he saw the spirit of Meli.

"good. Meli, how can I help you?" ask Mr. Nizar.

"This, Sir. I want to collect tasks, mine and friends," explained Meli without reducing her cheerfulness.

Mr. Nizar smiled then took the stack of papers handed over by Meli. Mr. Nizar tidied up the positions of the papers for a while, then checked their names one by one.

"Juno, Meli Shahrani, Adinda Dewi Anjani, and Dika Pratama. Okay, I accept the task. Thank you for collecting," replied Mr. Nizar kindly.

Meli nodded, smiled, and remained silent in her chair while looking at Mr. Nizar. Meli's attitude like that makes Mr. Nizar a little unpleasant, until finally guessing that there is still something to be asked by Meli.

"Is there anything I want to ask you again?" asked Mr. Nizar in a tone that was still as friendly as before.

"There, Sir. Is Mr Nizar really unmarried?" meli asked not at all.

An unexpected question from Meli made Mr. Nizar immediately chuckle. Mr. Nizar was not surprised by the question, because before Meli turned out there were several other students who also asked the same question.

Pak Nizar's single status is indeed fast spreading among students. That's all because Mr. Nizar suddenly idolized because of his pretty handsome face.

"Why do you want to know so much?" ask Mr. Nizar later.

"Curious, Sir. Now Mr. Nizar just answer me so that I do not keep curious," said Meli a little urgent and not at all hesitant.

Fortunately Mr. Nizar understood students like Meli. His single status is often a question, and Mr. Nizar was used to responding to such questions.

"Yes, right." Mr. Nizar confirmed Meli's question.

Meli cheered in heart. It was great to hear Mr. Nizar's reply confirming his single status.

"Continuously, Mr Nizar when will he marry her? Has anyone filled Mr Nizar's heart? or .... Au, who is it?" Meli's words were cut off because someone had patted her on the shoulder.

It was the diamond that patted Meli's shoulder. Meli's cheerful voice echoed in the lecturer's room, until the question that was asked for Mr. Nizar was heard by Diamond who was about to collect the task as well.

"Sst, just shy, anyway. It's not polite to know that question" whispered Diamond in Meli's left ear.

Meli only grinned after being advised by Diamond. In order not to be awkward, Diamond also grinned, then greeted Mr. Nizar. After that Diamond immediately handed over his duties.

"This is my duty, sir." Diamond gave up her duties.

"thank you. I accept his duty" said Mr. Nizar, smiling kindly.

"Mel, come!" take Diamond with you while giving Meli an eye code.

"Where?" meli asked confusedly, and still remained seated in her chair.

Diamonds a little bit gnarled with Meli.

"Hehe. Pardon, Sir. Me and my friend. Thank you," said Diamond.

"Yes, you're welcome." Mr. Nizar replied kindly.

Diamond instantly pulled Meli's arm and invited her to immediately leave the room.

"Eh, uh. Just pull, anyway. Excuse me, and thank you, sir." Meli took the time to thank him before Diamond took him out of the lecturer room.

"Hem .. there is-there is," said Mr. Nizar while shaking his head.

As soon as Meli and Berlian came out of the lecturer room, there were two colleagues of Pak Nizar who were also teaching lecturers entering the room. After greeting the two lecturers, Mr. Nizar opened his laptop to return to work on his duties. While doing chores, Mr. Nizar put on a headset and listened to the recordings of his favorite voice.

***

Arriving outside the lecturer's room, Meli began to protest at Diamond. The protest was aired because Meli had not listened to Mr. Nizar's answer to the questions previously asked.

"It's not polite to ask that, Mel." Again Diamond advises Meli.

"Au ah," cried Meli berjambek.

"After that, I'd like to confide, nih. Can't you?" ask Diamond to Meli.

"Yes, that's all. Must be willing to vent heart problems. Aye, right?" geli Goda.

Initially Berlian flat expression heard Meli's allegations. Apparently the Diamond's heart could not resist, until finally the Diamond smiled and nodded confirming.

Meli and Diamond looking for a seat. However, no empty seats were found. As a result, Meli was again sitting on the long bench where she met with Juno and Alenna earlier.

"Wait, don't you want to mourn Juno anymore, right?" ask Meli.

"That's very much the question. Wouldn't you mind my confiding?" diamond Protest.

"Haha, that's it. Let's fast story! Meli Shahrani will listen fully even though it is about Juno," explained Meli enthusiastically.

Diamond smiled first, especially because he heard the words of Meli like that.

The diamond's heart begins. Diamond told her how she felt when she saw Juno with Alenna earlier while sitting on a long bench. Diamonds also tell me about Ken.

At that moment Ken did notice the Diamond standing while looking towards Juno and Alenna. Ken originally intended to be aghast, but stopped because he caught the sadness on Diamond's face. Ken accidentally hears Diamond's confused murmur finding a way to move on from Juno. Suddenly Ken took a beating, asking Diamond for permission to help him move on.

"What's? Did Ken say that? Lucky for you, Diamond." Meli was shocked and enthusiastically responded.

"Lucky what? I was confused, ", explained Diamond.

"So Ken can secretly have a crush on you" Meli guessed.

"Ah, where is it possible. Haha," hold the diamond.

Diamonds did not answer. Breathing sounded later. After Diamond smiled, to make Meli more curious.

"Suddenly, I nodded. Uh, wait. Don't think about it straight away. I told you that Brother Ken wants to focus on college, and Brother Ken is willing to help me if I have trouble learning" explained Berlian.

"Eh. You can too, tuh. Brother Ken pinternya eleven twelve same brother Mario, really. Exactly if you want to learn with him. But .. ahem." Meli's words stopped.

Meli deliberately paused her sentence, to make Diamond want to know with the continued words of Meli.

"But what?" ask Diamond.

"But if later in the middle of the tentor suddenly there is a feeling yes do not avoid. It's called destiny. After all, Kak Ken is quite handsome like Juno, just wearing glasses. Ehem-ehem," seduced Meli again.

"What the hell is Mel," said Berlian.

Although Diamond denied, but the edges of Diamond laughed also when Meli teased him.

"Cooperation, huh. I support you with Brother Ken, and you support me with Mr. Nizar" Meli enthusiastically suggested.

"Somewhat to do, Mel." The diamond refused, and their laughter broke.

The conversation ended five minutes later. Meli and Diamond are going home. Diamond kindly offers a ride to Meli. Meli wanted to, and they both stood up.

Suddenly Mario approached, greeting Meli and Diamond. Meli who knows Mario's routine immediately asked.

"Loh, tumben Kak Mario back again? Not to the office, brother?" ask Meli.

"You go to Mr. Nizar's room. There's a need for a moment" explained Mario with a friendly smile.

Since being with Anjani, Mario is more often seen smiling especially at close friends Anjani, his future wife. However, still, Mario's cold demeanor and super short answers are occasionally seen in front of other friends.

"Sir Mario want to see Mr Nizar? Titip greeting from Meli," said Meli quickly and excitedly.

"Hus, what the hell, Mel. Yuk, home!" bring Diamonds

Diamond and Meli also say goodbye to Mario. While Mario continued his steps towards the lecturer room to meet Mr. Nizar.

In the lecturer room.

Mario's smile expands friendly when he crosses paths with some lecturers who teach him. Afterwards Mario searched for Mr. Nizar's desk in the room. It is not difficult to find it, because Mr. Nizar is sitting on his desk with a headset attached to one of his ears.

At that time Mr. Nizar was focused on staring at his laptop screen, his fingers were typing fast, while one of his ears was attached to a headset. Yes, at that time Mr. Nizar was listening to the voice recording. Intentionally only installed one so that Mr. Nizar can listen to the other sounds in the room as well.

"Excuse me, sir." Mario greets and asks permission to sit down.

"Mario .... Please sit!" said Mr. Nizar invited Mario.

The headset is immediately removed from the ear, then the laptop is closed and deliberately moved to the other side. Mr. Nizar started a conversation with Mario.

"I was happy, it turned out that the student who shook hands with me in the parking lot at that time was a leader, a successful businessman. I need to learn a lot from you, Mario. The way you manage your time between college and work must be very unique," praised Mr. Nizar.

Mario smiled at the compliment. "Thank you for the compliment, sir. Related to the submission to partner between majors with companies already approved. Mr. Leon, the main chairman of the company is also very supportive," explained Mario directly on the topic.

"Thank God then. So when can you start applying for an internship at your company?" ask Mr. Nizar who has not been informed by Mr. Koko.

"Can start next semester, sir. I also told Mr. Koko. When starting the internship placement later, Mr. Nizar can convey technical and needs to the company secretary. Her name is Alenna, and .. This is the number you can call." Mario offers Alenna a business card and a number.

Mr. Nizar was amazed by the figure of Mario. For him, Mario is a unique student, intelligent brained, articulate, and many other admiration that at that time really amazed.

The business card Mario gave was observed briefly. Then Mr. Nizar beards and thanks Mario.

"I will only be a lecturer roomy guidance for students who are placed in internships at your company. I'm so happy that's you. Hopefully this cooperation will run well and last," explained Mr. Nizar who at that time sounded thick colors of his Java voice.

Mario again smiled and gave a positive response to the good wishes of Mr. Nizar.

"Mario, do you have any free time this Saturday? I want to talk to you a lot" asked Mr. Nizar.

Mario immediately apologized for not being able to fulfill Mr. Nizar's request. Not deliberately refused because he did not like the invitation to chat, but because this Saturday Mario will be married to Anjani.

"Sorry, Sir. This Saturday I will have a wedding with my heart," explained Mario.

"Well, congratulations. Lucky for that woman. All right, next time then." Mr. Nizar responded without fading the smile on his face.

"Specifically for Mr. Nizar I invite. It can be with anyone" said Mario.

"Hehe. Thank you very much Mario. I'll come, but being alone is okay, yeah. See you there," said Mr. Nizar said as it is, because no one wants to be with him.

The conversation continued a few minutes later. Afterwards Mario said goodbye, and immediately headed to his office to return to work.

***

In office.

Mario just parked his car in the company parking lot. Suddenly his phone shook, a sign of a message coming in. Mario stops stepping and immediately reads a message apparently from Mario's father's personal secretary.

Mario's expression instantly turned startled after reading the message. For a few seconds, Mario's phone shook again. There were two messages, one from Alenna and one from Leon. The content of the message that Alenna and Leon sent was almost similar. Mario's face began to show a change in his dislike expression.

Sculpting for a moment, Mario rushes to call Anjani, his future wife. The first ring on a voice call Mario made was not picked up by Anjani. Mario again tried to contact and was eventually picked up as well.

"Hello" Anjani said by phone.

"Darling, tonight I'll come with my father's secretary to your house. Whatever decision will be made tonight, I hope you never hate me" Mario explained directly on the topic.

"Why should I hate you, baby. Ilove you. What exactly do you mean by this?" anjani asked confusedly.

For a second Mario was silent. Not yet continued the chat by phone with Anjani. Mario still thinks.

"Hello .... Hello, Sweetheart. You all right?" ask Anjani.

"I'll explain later" said Mario later.

"alright. I'll see you tonight. Da!"

The phone call ended. Mario is still standing in his place. But only lasted a few seconds. The next instant Mario walked into his office, meeting and discussing with Leon and Alenna.
