Merapi Never Ingkar Janji 2 (The Return of the Sultan)

SS. 82. New Rival

"For Hanifa." A person whose voice he has begun to recognize.

"Good morning sir." Hanifa replied turning her body, turning her head towards the source of the voice.

"Today, I have a special assignment for you." His words started the conversation.

"What task, sir ?" Hanifa asked curiously.

"This morning I have a meeting and this is a big project, I want you to accompany me to handle everything." Continue walking towards the elevator.

Inside the elevator the man explained at length, but Hanifa slightly failed to focus on his voice.

His voice alone was enough to hypnotize his consciousness especially if he had to look at his face, it could be limp all his joints.

Yeah, Anton, he's the one who greeted me this morning in the parking lot of his office. Today is his first day at work. And already got a word of encouragement from his superiors.

Who is not fascinated by the handsome face of an Anton. Young, handsome and well established.

'If I were a girl, I wouldn't waste an opportunity like this.' His heart began to be nosy.

'You are still young Hanifa, you are also beautiful, despite your status of a widow, but you still deserve to be side by side with any man, including Mr. Anton.' Comment on the other side of his heart.

'Ngaca Hanifa, ngaca, Mr. Anton is still single, handsome and rich. Where does she want the same widow, there are still many girls who queue out there.' Grasping the other side of his heart.

"Astagfirullahaladzim." He said softly, gathering his consciousness.

But whatever concubine she was talking to, Anton still had time to hear it.

"Why Ifa, is there anything you don't understand yet ?"

"Oh no, yes, not sir. Sorry I don't understand that much." Nervous answer.

Not yet understood, but indeed Hanifa did not pay attention since.

"Have you not had breakfast yet ? Or is there aqua ?" Kneak Anton joking.

"Mother could."

Out of nowhere he got the courage to compensate for his superior jokes.

What was clear, only a day of meeting, they already looked familiar.

"Good morning sir." Greet Bella as Anton and Hanifa get to her front door.

"Morning." Answer it as it passes.

But just a few steps before reaching his study, Anton turned back.

"Bella, please prepare all our bidding files for today's percentage." Her request.

"Ready sir, I've prepared." He said with a big morning smile.

"Good, leave it to Hanifa. Today, he's the one who's gonna help me with the presentation."

Bella's face changed instantly. There was a feeling of annoyance that was clearly visible from the look on his face.

Bella and Hanifa looked at each other.

"Follow me." Bella's orders feel like she's a senior.,

"Yes, Mother."

"Now, study carefully, lest the boss be disappointed." He said a little tart.

"Yes, Mother." Only two words came out of his lips.

Hanifa brought a stack of files that she had to learn, before the predetermined meeting schedule arrived.

'Crazy old man, what a pellet he is, he could take over my position at an important time like this.' Bella grumbled with a look of hatred as Hanifa left her study.

Hanifa flipped through the sheets of paper that were before her. One by one he read, he was meticulous, his shortcomings and advantages.

Drrtt .. drrttt ...

His phone shook, while he was concentrating fully on what he was learning.

"Sir Anton." He muttered to himself, when he saw the name of his superior on the phone screen.

"Yes hello sir."

"Are you ready ?"

"Oh, yes sir."

"We're leaving now."

Prime was running errands, there was a nervousness in his heart. His hands are so cold. Even the soles of his feet that had been wrapped in shoes, also still felt cold.

"Why ? Nervous ?" Anton asked as his personal driver had entered the parking area of a star hotel, where they were presenting.

"Oh, little sir. Understandably, after so long fakum." Honest answer.

"Hahaha, it's common, long time will get used to." Whisper Mr. Anton, start sounding naughty.

I don't know what that means, but until here, Hanifa still has to keep thinking positive.

"You wait here, when I'm done call." Ask his personal driver.

"Good Sir."

"I will handle everything, just follow and prepare what I need." Mr. Anton said as he walked towards the designated space.

There were many people there who were present from various large and small companies in this city.

"Sir, I'm sorry, can I go to the toilet for a minute ?" He said after it was felt there was still free time before the event began.

"Yes, please." Answer Anton.

Hanifa walked following the arrow towards the toilet.

He occasionally lyrics a watch that is coiled around his left wrist.

"Still long enough." Mumbled himself.

After finishing her wish, Hanifa walked while tidying up the blazer she was wearing.

Hhhhh ... !

"Oh." Hanifa complained, as she felt her head stumble over something.

"Oh sorry, sorry, I'm in a hurry." Reply to a man who hit him.

'From his voice, I seem to know.' Thought in the heart.

"Hanifa." Greet the man.

Hanifa turned her face, confirming who the owner of the voice was calling out to her.

"Al, you, you're here too." Nervous answer.

"You yourself, what's the matter ?" Al asks who does not know that Hanifa is back at work.

"I, i_"

Drrttt .. ddrrrr ...

"Oh, sorry, there's a phone coming in. I'm first yeah." Al said before Hanifa finished her speech.

Hanifa nodded while stroking the chest feeling relieved. Because he didn't have to explain about his existence in this place.

Although in the end, Al will also know that he is also doing the same thing as Al is currently doing.

"But, for a minute, Al is in this place too, don't-don't ... " The mumbling came to a conclusion.

'If it's true that Al is following the same percentage, it means that I will compete with him.' Thought in the heart.

"Old kok, is there a problem ?" Tegur Mr. Anton who still has not moved from his seat.

"No sir, just the toilet was a little bit in line earlier." He tried to lie.

"Okay, it's our turn soon."

"Good Sir."

It was true what Hanifa was thinking. There was Al there, sitting among the many participants from various companies.

"Our toughest rival is on the other end." Whisper Mr. Anton, with eyes pointing towards Al.

"Where do you mean, sir ?" Hanifa asked to be sure.

"Kamandanu Group, which is held directly by his son. He's very smart and deft, a graduate of one of the top universities abroad, so I got the info." The answer.

'True to my guess, so I have to compete with Al.' company, he commented inwardly.

One by one the company representatives showed their abilities. Al and Hanifa. It is not known whose victory falls into whose hands.

From there Al only realized there was Hanifa in the opposing camp.

"Good afternoon Mr. Al." Greet Anton as they meet at the exit.

"Sore Mr. Anton."

"I've only heard so many compliments about you. It was great to meet in person. Could it be another time we'll have a coffee with you ?" It's a stale base.

"Thank you Mr. Anton, God willing, we can schedule." Answer Al.

"I'm waiting for his free time."

"Well Mr. Anton, then, excuse me first." Pamphitt.

"Please sir, nice to meet you."

"Together Sir, come."

Hanifa noticed the departure of the man she once had in her heart. He's not alone either. There was Reza who faithfully accompanied him.

Along the way back to the office, Anton talked a lot about Kamandanu Group which is growing rapidly, since held by Al.

There was a sense of awe in his heart, as Anton praised Al. Although from the beginning, Anton introduced Al as a rival, but Anton himself admitted that there is still a lot to learn from Al.
