"I want to give this project to Mr. Erik and Mr. Andika" replied Niken a little lethargic
" Why ..? give me a reason ? ". answer Albert firmly
Niken gulped her saliva then bit her lower lip slowly. There is a sense of forced regret and fear of being mixed up .
"For Mr. Erik I want to thank him for guiding me to this extent 'I want him to be the leader of my team . For Mr. Andika I want to help him because this is a difficult time for him I want him to rise again with his company. Because after this I will go out of town for a long period of time . And earlier I apologized profusely for disappointing you ". Niken explained with heart
Albert let out a long sigh there was a hint of deep disappointment yet he tried to accept her because it was already his decision.
" Are you really thinking about it, Miss ?. I really hope to work with you because I see tremendous potential in you". Albert said expectantly with a pushy look
" I'm sorry, sir, I've thought about it carefully and I think this is the best way for me, once again sorry for disappointing you ". Reply Niken with regret
Albert sighed again "well if that's your decision I accept with a heavy heart. And I will inform both sides of your wishes ".
Niken let out a long sigh and smiled sweetly to feel relieved "Thank you sir for your understanding, sorry and I'm resigned". Niken said goodbye politely and left the room
Albert can only look at Niken's departure with disappointment but behind that he is very proud of Niken because of his excellent nature to help and thank his business partners.
In front of the hall was already someone waiting for Niken with a flower arrangement .
There was a smile on his face when Niken's figure was seen in the hall.Niken also developed a sweet smile to him .
" Hi Niken congratulations on your success ". Erik with a look full of happiness and pride while handing the flower arrangement to Niken.
Niken took the flower arrangement with her sweet smile but her heart was very sick because she felt the seconds of togetherness with Erik soon . He wanted to hold her tightly and wanted to cry in her arms and body but was unable to do so.
" Thank you ", replied Niken with a smile of falsehood
" Let's eat - eat , today you are the one who treats ". Erik while pulling Niken's hand out of the lobby .
Outside there is already a team that welcomes him with happiness with their smiles and laughter that is very heartbreaking Niken but Niken tries to pretend happy and behave nothing in front of him them. While his heart screamed and thrashed full of pain because soon he would part with them all.
Then they all went together to a restaurant to celebrate their victory.
" Come today we eat - eat to celebrate your success ". invite Erik while laughing happily.
They cheered happily then they chose the restaurant and ordered food to the restaurant staff .
The sound of laughter and their happy faces were so clearly displayed in front of Niken .Until Niken couldn't bear the pain. Niken's tears fell in the corner of her eye .
" Mom why are you crying ". asked Lala to Niken when she saw Niken's tears just fall in the corner of her eyes.
" Ah.no, probably because I was so happy that I shed these tears" Niken replied as she wiped her tears
Erik who saw her smiled without any suspicion at all so did the others . Then they continued eating with laughter and their jokes.
Niken could no longer bear the torment before her until she said goodbye earlier .
"Well..I'm in a hurry we just ate ", replied Lala.
" Right Ma'am we just ate ". said another Niken employee .
" I'm sorry, maybe I'm too happy to feel tired . You guys continue to eat yes let Lala arrange her payment ". Niken while giving her ATM card to Lala.
" Okay Ma'am, I just take a break" Lala replied as she picked up the card.
" All right, I'll take Miss Niken first ". Erik answered her as he got out of his seat and approached Niken to take her home.
Niken with her sweet smile gave a final impression to her team.
Erik treats Niken like a queen he rewinds his seat in the restaurant to open the car door for Niken, radiating happiness from Erik's face but it makes Niken even sadder .
On the way Niken was not able to look at the face of Erik who looked happy he could not if his happy face would turn into sadness if he knew the real Niken tried to exude happiness in the look of his face.
" Niken after this what your plan is ". asked Erik disperse the daydream of Niken who was staring out the car window .
" What plan ? I just want to do well ". Niken replied a little nervously and then turned to Erik and focused his gaze forward .
" After you divorced Andika ?". Erik asked a little hesitantly but he tried to dare to say it.
" sthat mean? ". Niken asked back not understanding Erik's question
" Merry me ? ". Erik smiled sweetly and turned to Niken
Degs...
Niken was surprised by Erik's words, the sharp needles like piercing heart and his heart his pain was once. He couldn't stand it, but he really struggled with the pain and held back his tears.
" Would you marry me ? ". asked Erik while stopping his car because it turned out to have arrived in front of Niken's house .
Niken just smiled and then opened the door and did not answer Erik's question that made his heart pound and his heart ache not because of not love but the pain of his togetherness with the person he was love for just a moment.
" Wait ". Erik stopped Niken's hand that would open the car door .
Niken stopped her hand to stop opening the car door . Then look at Erik . While Erik was taking something out of his suit pocket and took it out .
" Would you marry me?". while opening the ring city from his pocket, it turns out that the ring was the one he had kept for years to propose to Niken.
A red hue appeared on Andika's cheeks she blushed in embarrassment with a smile knot on her lips.
Niken could not answer her she just stared at the ring with teary eyes she wanted to drop the tears but she tried to hold it. He tried to hold on with all his might .
