...Early in the morning, Ayu was awake and immediately prepared. Come downstairs, buy her breakfast and Siska's....
...Because today Ayu works outside the office and has to visit several places, she specifically wears formal work pants, and a dark blue shirt with flat shoes, to make it easier to move around....
...Siska also did not ask much why her friend changed her dress style today. ...
...After finishing breakfast, they went to work for the company....
...Arriving at the lobby, Siska waved to Ayu who was about to enter the elevator....
...In the elevator, Ayu exhales and walks out to her department....
...Shortly after Ayu sat down and opened the work map, the phone on her desk rang. Surprised Ayu who did not expect it at all. He quickly calmed down, lifting the phone....
...'Hola! With Ayu from the marketing department here. Who am I talking to?'...
...Ayu listened attentively, as her hand suddenly tightened the phone's handle....
...'Who!?' repeated again....
...[.I'm Aksa. Now, I'm waiting for you downstairs. We know what we're going to do today. I'm waiting for you in the parking lot right now.]...
...Not yet Ayu opened her mouth to answer, the phone has been turned off....
...Without much time to prepare, Ayu started packing up and went downstairs. Walk towards the parking lot....
...He does not know which car belongs to Pak Aksa of the many cars in the parking lot....
...With a look of confusion, Ayu glanced back and forth, hoping to find the director. ...
...After a while of not finding a clue, Ayu does not want to continue wasting time, she prepares to call Pak Aksa's number, when suddenly the nearby car horn sounds, surprising Ayu....
...Ayu immediately turned her head to find out which car had the cab. ...
...He then found an audi car with dark glass flashing the headlights of the car towards him, as if beckoning....
...Doubtfully Ayu walked up to the car, occasionally glancing around, afraid of misrecognizing people....
...The closer Ayu got, the more she felt the car seemed familiar. Like I've seen it somewhere....
...Before Ayu could think further, the dark side car glass was slowly lowered, revealing the indifferent look of the rider, who turned out to be Pak Aksa....
...Ayu reflexively stopped. Don't know what to do next....
...Go to the car, or… ...
..."Coming in!" aksa exclaimed from the car. His forehead wrinkled to see Ayu who suddenly stopped....
..."A.huh, oh! Yes, Sir." Ayu stopped being hesitant, immediately sitting in the side seat of Pak Aksa's car....
...Aksa then runs her car after seeing Ayu finish wearing her seatbelt....
...After a fifteen-minute drive, the car stopped in the western suburbs of the city of S, where one of the furniture-making factories owned by Wijaya Group....
...When Ayu and Aksa got out of the car, they were greeted by the factory manager, Mr. Budi....
...Mr. Budi has been told that the next one will be Pak Aksa himself, so he has been waiting from the beginning in front of the factory....
..."This.-" Mr. Budi set his sights on Ayu who came with Pak Aksa....
..."He's Ayu, the new employee in the marketing department. I brought him here so that he could get to know more about how to work in our factory," Aksa replied to Mr. Budi....
...Ayu nodded, greeting....
...Mr. Budi returned Ayu's greeting, then brought the two of them into the factory which covered almost tens of hectares. ...
...In it, there are many workers who are busy producing furniture items along with the sounds of machines that are unrelenting....
...Ayu looked around, while continuing to follow Pak Aksa and Pak Budi who were conversing and walking to every place in the factory....
...Ayu focuses his attention on the production process and the workings of factory workers in the processing of furniture products. He did not notice his wrong steps when he was going up the stairs....
..."Ahh!" ...
...Ayu exclaimed as her handrails slipped off the railing and her body almost fell towards the back. ...
...Ayu closed her eyes, afraid of the pain she would soon experience. Just then, someone suddenly grabbed him by the hand and pulled him forward so hard that he landed right in someone's arms....
...Ayu who originally closed her eyes due to fear momentarily opened her eyes, as soon as her nose smelled the soothing scent of mint that was all around her....
...Just as Ayu looked up, his frightened heart was racing back when he knew he was now in the arms of Mr. Aksa....
...Ayu looked down apologizing. ...
..."Sorry, for my carelessness, sir." ...
...If it wasn't for Mr. Aksa helping him, he might have been injured or suffered a concussion....
..."I also want to thank you for helping me," Ayu said sincerely....
..."There is no need for that" replied Aksa. "Next time you're careful. It was very dangerous."...
..."Fine, Sir. Next time, I'll be careful."...
...Aksa nodded at her assurance. He then turned around, continuing up the stairs more slowly than usual....
...Ayu was completely unconscious, because he kept paying attention to his own steps, afraid to repeat the same mistakes, and ended up embarrassing himself like before....
...Once you get to the top floor, the view of the lower floor can be clearly seen from up here....
...Ayu can more easily observe the workers, as well as Pak Aksa. ...
...He continued his conversation with Mr. Budi related to the work on the new project that his team is currently working on....
...After explaining things to Pak Budi, Aksa and Ayu who were busy taking notes, said to go to the next factory....
...After lunch, Aksa, who was driving, invited Ayu to lunch at a restaurant, before continuing his visit to the last factory, which was quite far from here, almost passing outside the city....
...Entering the teak forest area, where the last factory they will visit is located in the middle of the forest. Through a one-way street with both sides overgrown with trees, the black audi stopped at a large land in front of a medium-sized factory....
...Different from the previous factories, this time the factory is specialized in wood processing. Built near the forest to make it easier for workers in the transportation process....
...In addition to being far from urban and located in a remote area in the middle of the forest, this one factory was established earlier than other factories, looking older and fewer workers....
...As soon as the two entered the factory, there was such a rush from the workers that no one noticed the arrival of the two....
...Aksa looked mediocre, not caring much about it. Together with Ayu, Aksa put on a mask, as well as safety gloves, as the factory looked full of wood powder and there were also some sharp objects....
...As they both passed by, the workers realized the presence of the two. One of the older workers was preparing to stop his work to welcome Aksa. However, Aksa immediately stopped him....
..."No need, Sir. Just continue with the job. I'll look around myself with the person next to me" Aksa said....
...The worker nodded, returning to work....
...After taking a look around, Aksa brought Ayu into the deepest part of the factory, the wooden log storage....
...There, Aksa seemed to accidentally ask, "Do you know this type of wood, or have you seen it somewhere?" ...
...Point it at a wooden log that is arranged almost like a mountain....
...Ayu was silent for a moment, seeming to remember something. He then shook his head. "No, Sir. I don't know what kind of wood it is, nor have I seen anything similar anywhere."...
...After saying that, Ayu lowered her head. Looks a little guilty....
...Aksa just nodded. Not keep asking. Look back at the pile of wooden logs....
...Ayu raised her head, glancing at Pak Aksa. ...
...'What did Pak Aksa mean earlier, asking about it. Does he know anything?'...
...When Ayu saw the trees on both sides of the road as they passed by, Ayu had already started to feel uneasy. ...
...This place looks exactly the same as in his hometown. She lived with her mother when she was a child. Overgrown with lots of teak trees. Because that is the livelihood of the villagers....
...Due to an incident that required Ayu to move with her mother to the city, she never again saw a scene similar to the one in her hometown....
...Ayu also did not want to bring up that bitter past anymore. Therefore, he chose not to tell the truth to Pak Aksa. For some reason, his feeling became claustrophobic among this familiar pile of wood again, choosing to turn around out. However, the heel of his shoes accidentally shifted the supports that supported the arrangement of the wooden logs to make it collapse and some wood rolled down....
...Ayu who sensed it immediately turned around, right when she saw the fallen log roll towards the founding of Pak Aksa....
..."Sir, beware! Behind you!" yelled Ayu almost instantly....
...Aksa was initially calculating the number of logs present on the other side. Hearing Ayu's cry, Aksa turned around, then saw the wooden logs that were originally stacked neatly now tumble over until some would almost hit him....
...Without a second thought, Aksa immediately dodged and managed to dodge some. However, one of them was right about his feet, which made Aksa's stiff face instantly grimace....
..."Mr Aksa!!!" ...
...Ayu exclaimed in panic....
