MY LOVE ENDS WITH YOU

AMAZED AT HIM

NARITA POV

 

Now everyone in the room stands up and prepares to welcome the tallest man in the company. I don't know why my heart beats so hard, I feel groggy. Maybe because I had to perform in one of the presentations or maybe because I was burdened because this internship was also one of the determinants of the smoothness of my studies, or maybe because of fear of people's stories that the CEO is meticulous, disciplined, detailed, critical, sometimes loud, and all mixed up into one.

I try to master my nervousness, if until I am not calm how my presentation will be smooth. I suggest myself by remembering what Mr. Adam said. But I can't deny, from my body gesture, people will see that I'm nervous. I still lowered my cold face, my fingers interlocked and squeezed together. I'm no longer a kid yesterday afternoon, I'm getting a Phd, so I have to be confident.

“You keep your head down, why?” Davis who was next to me suddenly whispered close to my ears, maybe if I did not wear a hijab, his breath would feel added to the cold atmosphere of the room.

“Gak papa”

“You nervous?” tanyanya.

“Hm”

“You're presenting too?”

“Hm”

“Quiet only.” Suddenly Davis's hand cupped my hand that was squeezing each other. I was shocked by his actions, I spontaneously threw out his hand.

“Sorry,,,sorry,,”

“Your hands are so cold.” Whisper again and I did not respond at all, I still lowered my head and occasionally raised my face, but the ruler had not yet appeared.

Finally the ruler came and the people sat down. I still dare not lift my face. I just followed my instinct when Adam and Davis next to me sat down.

“Good day” suddenly I heard the voice of someone I knew very well. Spontaneously I raised my head and looked for the source of the sound.

How surprised I was to see who was speaking. Even though we were very far away, he sat at the very front end while I was at the opposite end of his position. My eyes narrowed, my forehead wrinkled.

Is it possible that Mr Dave is the ruler? –in me at this time.

He seemed to have not realized my existence, because with my small posture and surrounded by large tall people, my body would definitely be covered.

“You know him, don't you?” Davis whispered back in my ear with a smirk.

“Thank God” I said later and calmed down a little. At least I know him.

“Calm down, Baby” somehow called ‘Baby’ from Davis's mouth made me flinch and immediately turned to him, while he himself was just plain as if he did not say the wrong thing.

Now that the meeting has begun, some agenda of the discussion has begun. And by the 20th minute I was finally able to calm down. I finally raised my right hand to ask permission to give my opinion. As my hand lifted, Dave turned his head and looked at me. For a while we threw each other an eye without saying a word. He who usually instantly allows people to argue, for some reason when I raise my hand, he just fell silent. All the meeting participants were silent despite the look of confusion on their faces.

“Please” he let me speak with a hand gesture.

I then started to express my opinion. Some points of opinion that I have noted, I convey in this forum with a row, regularly, and some meeting participants slightly nod their heads. In expressing my opinion, I circulated my gaze to the entire meeting participants in order, and by the time it reached Dave's eyes, it seemed like he had not turned away at all.

“Narita Prameswari, your idea is cool. I didn't expect you to come up with a fresh idea that our rival company hasn't done in years. Your analysis is also very based. Teddy, please note yes!” dave's words really relieved me.

Everyone is looking at me in wonder. I turned to look at them in wonder. What's wrong with me, huh? Is it because Dave praised my idea or something else?

And I just realized that in the initial introduction before starting the presentation, I introduced myself just saying my name ‘Narita’, but Mr. Dave mentioned my full name. Perhaps that's what they consider strange.

I began to circulate my gaze and returned their cold and astonished gazes with a smile. I just don't want to make them think anything of Dave's recent mistakes.

Finally the first discussion of the material lasted for 1 hour, now entering the second discussion of the material. The host mentioned my name and invited me to the presentation in front. I too with a step more confident and a loud voice began to present my analysis.

Only ten minutes I was given presentation time, the rest of the discussion. After my presentation, the entire meeting participants clapped their hands as if to pay my respects. I saw only Dave sitting quietly looking at me expressionlessly. I couldn't guess what he was going to say. After the presentation, I'm allowed to return to my seat. I still felt someone stare at me until I sat in my chair.

“I didn't expect, Na. You're really multitalented. Pinter cook, dear child, pinter take care of children, take care of plants, Education is unquestionable, and smart. With your appearance just now, one wouldn't expect that you work as nanny” Davis spoke at length as I was about to sit in a chair. I just fell silent and smiled at her comments and compliments.

“He's right Mr. Davis. I agree with you. Narita is smart, his idea is out of the box, but the problem is that he is easily nervous and lacks confidence. So the innate nervous if told to talk and be the center of attention.”

“Owh yes, earlier you said pinter cook, take care of children, take care of plants? Meaning?” Davis only realized that they didn't know that I was one of the assistants in their home.

“We stay together!” the answer is short and steady.

“Hah?” Mr. Adam had his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open. His words were slow but full of emphasis.

Hearing the surprise of Mr. Adam, Davis just smiled normally. He was not trying to straighten out the perceptual ripples.

“It seems that Mr. Adam also understands very well Narita” Davis even replied to Mr. Adam while looking suspiciously at me and then alternating to Mr. Adam. Either it's just acting him so that Mr. Adam doesn't look any further or how. Actually, if I myself would be honest.

“Because He is a superiors who are very fun to be invited to discussions. Thank you, Mr. Adam, for sharing knowledge and discussing with exclamation”, I immediately visited and commented on Davis' statement.

After that, the three of us again noticed the ruler who was talking in front.

Dave threw my analysis and proposal into the forum. We are now engaged in a serious discussion. Sometimes I looked at Dave and somehow at that moment, he was looking at me. Of course after that I immediately threw my gaze in any direction.

Gradually my nervousness began to dissipate and changed in confidence. I am also active in giving opinions on material issues that I convey and other materials that happen to be discussed in this meeting. Until now the clock shows the time for Ashar worship, Dave immediately closed this event. In addition because it is time for worship, but also the completion of the material that will be discussed at this meeting.

After Dave closed the meeting, he immediately got up and walked. My eyes and the eyes of all the participants in the meeting followed the movements of Mr. Dave until now he arrived behind me. Me and some people there turned around and smiled at him.

“Welcome to join, Narita!” Dave reached out his right hand asking me to shake hands, and I greeted him.
