Sebastian's PoV
As I had thought before, regarding the irregularities that occurred in my sales team a while ago, I had intended to find out what happened. Although Ferdi and Kaina are not here, I am still curious and cannot sleep until I know the truth.
One week after Kaina resigned, I started collecting the data I needed from the people closest to them in the office.
Keisha, is one of the speakers who helped me a lot. He told me many stories confirming my belief that Rayshaka and Kaina had a close relationship before they had a fight. But unfortunately Keisha also never heard the story of Kaina about the cause of Raysahaka's great anger at that time. Even Kaina doesn't seem to know why.
I also secretly went to Kaina's old boarding house to meet with Rosa. It just so happened that I got Rosa's contact number because she was at the office gathering back then and the data is still in the archive.
I also heard many stories from Rosa. Almost the same as I got from Keisha. It's just that I got a little extra clue that Ray and Kaina have gotten to a slightly deep stage. They've been kissing and I'm honestly quite surprised to know that. Rosa also tells the story of Kaina who was embraced by Ray and Ferdi in the same night. That means the complexity of the relationship between the three of them is already further than I imagined. Makes me even more sure something's gone wrong all along.
I felt a little lost, not knowing this at all. I think the team that I consider the most solid team that ever existed is really pure just friends. I couldn't read the meaning of their closeness at all this time.
I've been bagging a lot of facts about the triangle romance between Ray, Kaina and Ferdi. After that I still have to figure out why Ferdi should resign. Without warning and impressed very impromptu. After the gathering, he did not even enter the office anymore.
Amidst my efforts to find a way, the unexpected happened. I never thought about it at all, but that was the first time I found all the answers.
Franklin, the owner of Nirvana ressort happened to call me to open the tissue order. Our conversation is usually not just a tissue issue. Sometimes we discuss some issues that are being discussed on social media. Politics and government, for example. Franklin and I did like to exchange opinions, but we never intended to make a conclusion at the end of our conversation.
Afterwards Franklin asked about Rayshaka and Ferdi. I was a little surprised when he found out Ferdi. Because as I recall, I never once offended Nirvana Ressort to Ferdi.
Then I remember telling Ferdi to survey the market to Cirebon. Did Ferdi accidentally know there was Nirvana and visit there?
As if knowing my thoughts, Franklin told me that Ferdi was the son of a business partner. Franklin also recounted the story of Ferdi who came to his rescue to establish cooperation. Franklin also did not forget to tell her that Ferdi came to her by carrying her father's name. Not as a Nirvana salesman.
I'm riveted. I could barely speak for a moment.
So that's the story.
*****
After knowing that fact, I again thought hard, why Ferdi had to give up until he had to resign.
Maybe he was disappointed because Franklin actually saw Ray's hard work, instead of prioritizing a good relationship with his father.
Why would such disappointment have to slap him so hard that he had to stop, as if his other good achievements in this office were meaningless.
What happened at the gathering?
Why is it that among the hundreds of people who eat from catering yes the same, only Kaina is food poisoning?
I'm not getting to sit around for long. I used to get angry every time I saw Ray coming through my room. I wonder if Ray also knows if Ferdi ever tried to cheat him?
If not, this is totally insane.
*****
This morning I came to the office early. I have an appointment with IT to check the office cctv history. I want to see if anything suspicious happens in the sales room at those times.
And my discovery this morning really made me tremble afterwards.
*****
Before lunch, I called Rayshaka's room line. I asked him at lunch hour to come to my room.
Twelve o'clock in the afternoon, I heard a knock at the door. Rayshaka showed up after I let her in.
"Lu didn't eat Ray's lunch?"
"It was going to eat the boss, but the phone boss told me to come here."
We both laughed. Such insignificant pleasantries have indeed become our culture. I called him at lunch hour, yes impossible he still had time to eat first. About so.
"So, Ray .. How about Randy and Jenni?" I mentioned the name of our new sales and telemarketing. Ferdi and Kaina's replacement.
"Still okay boss, so far."
"Well, Kaina or Jenni?"
Rayshaka chuckles. I never stopped teasing her about Kaina. To this day. Especially after I found out that he and Kaina had reached the level of sensual physical touch. This must have been a hard blow for Ray.
"The kayak boss doesn't know it," he said throwing feedback. I'm going to laugh.
"Yes, the cave is just the same Ray. The cave tanya elu. Who knows if Kaina has a better impression on you."
We laughed more and more at my own chatter. I was really confused, wanting to start my serious conversation from where.
"Ehm. Now seriously," I medehem, "Ray..."
"Yes, Boss?"
"Lu know not, if it used to be ... Ferdi also came to Franklin?"
My first sentence successfully made Rayshaka frown.
"Nirvana? Boss knows where?"
I thrust a yellow map in front of Ray, "This is Franklin who sent it to the office."
Rayshaka deftly opened the map and read the contents. Carefully and thoroughly.
After understanding all the contents, his face flushed slightly in confusion.
"This is June 12th. Means right he's got a survey of the market to Cirebon. That was before we were gathering Ray."
Ray still didn't stop looking at my face.
"Gini gini .. cave want to explain from the beginning why the cave can meet this. Okay?"
Ray did not make a sound, but nodded slowly.
"So this started from the suspicion of the cave, when Ferdi suddenly resigned. There was no wind, or rain, anyway after the gathering he did not go to the office again. He applied to resign only through WhatsApp to the cave, citing parents. You can also chat like that from Ferdi?"
Ray nodded again.
"The second, Kaina is food poisoning. Among the many people who ate the same food, why was only Kaina poisoned? Even the doctor said he had severe poison. Not a kind of mild poisoning such as because of stale or moldy food. Looks like Kaina's been consuming some stomach washes. Whether intentionally or not."
I took a breath for a moment.
"Well, when the cave was thinking about the relationship of the two previous facts, this came up, the third one," I tapped my finger on the yellow map in front of Ray, "After Franklin's call about orders, he suddenly told Ferdi about going to the cave. You know, if Ferdi's father was Franklin's friend?"
"Seriously, Boss??" rayshaka's expression was no different from mine when he first came to know this fact.
"Yes. Franklin told the cave and said that Ferdi went there using his power bokap. Crazy no?"
....
"The question is, the cave is confused why Ferdi can think to Nirvana. I mean, even if he surveys the market, it's impossible to meet Nirvana just because it happened to pass. Right? Well, this morning, the cave found the facts again. Get ready to stun you, sir."
I shifted my laptop so Ray could see what I was going to show him.
"This is a cctv recording on June 2. The first day we entered work after the Eid holiday. At 7:50, which looks like you haven't arrived at the office. Looks like you woke up late because you were asleep with your vacation with Kaina huh?"
Ray's tense face changed upon hearing my last sentence. Of course I know from Rosa.
"Boss knows where? Ah the boss has a lot of spies, "he laughs covering up his embarrassment. His face is getting red.
"There's. Haha. Okay, back to the laptop. So that morning Ferdi found something on your desk. Take look? What map did he open."
Rayshaka leaned over to see the tape clearly. On the screen, Ferdi walked to his desk and looked through all the piles of maps. Nothing caught Ferdi's attention, until he touched a crimson map and read it long enough.
"That's our proposal to Mr. Franklin, boss."
"Yes ! Absolutely ! Look what he's doing next ...."
Ray stared at the screen again. Seeing Ferdi put the map. Then he reached into his pants pocket. Take out your smartphone and take a photo on the map. Ferdi didn't miss a single sheet.
Ray gawking .. has not been fully aware of what Ferdi is doing.
"According to the cave, he knows that you're approaching Nirvana again and he happens to know Franklin. So it's an opportunity to get promoted the easy way."
Ray's still flinching. It seems like my words were very surprising to him.
I continued to show Ray another tape. At that time Kaina was in the sales room and cleaning Ray's desk. Not long after that he switched to Ferdi's desk. Do the same, clean up. A few moments later, he opened a map. Read the contents, then put them back.
"Well, that's not this map, boss?" Ray tapped on the yellow map Franklin gave me.
I'm nodding.
"So, Kaina knows that Ferdi also has the same mission as you, sir."
Ray reacted in surprise while squeezing his hair.
"Boss, just pant," he said with round eyes.
"What's the problem, Ray?"
"Some time ago, Kaina and I talked about this. He asked if Ferdi knew about Nirvana or not. But at that time Kaina was not clear what the purpose and purpose of nanyain was."
Ray and I were silent for a moment.
"Lantas, this relationship with Kaina is poisoned, what's the boss?"
Lamunanku ....
"Oh yes .. this is Ray. It's still a hunch and analysis cave. Because it's still smog too."
....
"Maybe, when you got word from Nirvana, when we were still in Cisarua, Ferdi also got word of rejection from Franklin. It's possible that he was angry and tried to poison you, but Kaina got it instead. Is that possible?"
Ray was silent for a moment. Trying to repeat his memory to events 1 month ago.
I'm observing him.
"Geez boss!!!" again, his reaction was shocking.
"Why? Remember anything?"
"Fany boss! Call Fany!"
"Why? What happened to Fany?"
Instead of answering my question, Ray got up and paced back and forth with a huff while rubbing his face. I grabbed the phone and called Fany into the room.
Ray's breathing roar like there was a sudden rage bubbling within him.
"Lu why, sir? Calm down first" I tried to calm down. Ray's fear seemed to affect me as well.
"If so, Fany is rude, boss," he said.
"What do you mean, sir?"
The sound of the door on the knock made me and Ray both turn their heads. Ray didn't answer my question. I let Fany in.
"Mr call me, sir?" he started out nervous.
"Sit down, Fan," I'll let you.
After Fany sat down, I glanced at Ray. Her creepy expression I think has affected Fany as well. The aura of this room was already ugly the moment he opened the door.
"You've got a lot of work to do, Fan?" I started with a simple question.
"Not really, sir."
"Oh .. great. Ehmm .." My mind was in a dead end. I have to ask where it used to be.
"Look Fan, I .. need your help ...."
"What help, sir?
"Ehm ..." I cleared my throat again. Just this time my heart was pounding just to ask one simple question. Because I'm afraid that Fany is involved.
"You ... does anyone know anything about the events that happened at our gathering at that time?"
Fany's facial features changed immediately.
I looked straight at both of his eyeballs.
"S .. sa .. I ..."
"You were in the kitchen yesterday, right? Do you know anything awkward about Ferdi?"
Fany's lips twitched. His molars also sounded clashing against each other. He suddenly shivered.
Ray impatiently moved closer to Fany.
"When you deliberately only bring 4 glasses of drinking water, in a way that 1 more glass you can poison and love Kaina, right??"
Fany's getting scared. Breath gasping. I did not dare to look at Ray's voice.
"But at that time Ferdi probably realized you were changing plans, so he deftly gave clean cave drinking water to Kaina so that the water you brought was still a drinking cave."
....
"Ohhh .. And it seems like Kaina has realized your plan, so she drinks both glasses like a man of fidelity. Right Fan??!!!"
Ray's voice was getting higher. But I couldn't hold him back, because I honestly didn't think that was the case.
Fany was stunned in her troubled mind. It seems he is unable to speak.
"Answer Fan!!" Ray kicked my desk, making Fany's tears fall along with sobs that began to sound.
"Ferdi told me, sir," finally the confession came out of his mouth that had been trying to silence.
"Ferdi was upset that Mr. Ray had escaped to Nirvana Ressort, while he had not. Ferdi is also upset that Ray and Kaina spent the night in Kaina's bungalow."
Ray and I were shocked. Maybe he's surprised that Ferdi has it all out to Fany. Ferdi should understand that Fany is the culprit of all gossip in the office. I also thought, in case the whole office has known about the night Ray stayed in Kaina and Rosa's room. While I myself only found out from Rosa some time ago.
"Lantas, you changed Ferdi's plan. You should have poisoned Ray. But why would you want to poison Kaina instead?"
Fany cried in a jolt.
"I'm sorry, sir. I'm solemn," she cried bitterly.
"Why? You have a personal grudge against Kaina?" Ray urged again.
"E ... None, sir."
"Certain why?? Javan Fan! Before the cave's patience runs out! Crazy you yah, have your own tea!"
"Eh ... Fan .. means, you actually already know what happened, but you can still relax while looking at Kaina at the Hospital. Great you, "I can't cover my amazement at Fany. Where is his humanity? I know he and Aina don't have a problem.
"K .. ka .. because ... Ka ... Kaina .. de .. close to Mr. Ray ...."
Rayshaka squeezes her hair rough. His face was red, and his eyes were too. His frustration culminated in hearing that reason.
"Lunatic lu. Really pshyco !" Ray seemed unable to hold himself back anymore. He moved quickly and left my room.
After Ray died, I was still silent looking at Fany who was still sobbing. I'm out of sound. Not a single word came to my mind to start our conversation.
"You ... can go back to your room first Fan," I finally gave up. I could not see him crying in front of me. I don't even know what to do.
Fany stood up with heavy steps. He apologized again before finally coming out.
I breathed a heavy breath. My suspicions that turned out to be reasonable, finally reached the end. And I admit it hurts.
It hurt when I learned of the great sacrifice Kaina had made to Rayshaka. No one knew that, other than Ferdi and Fany. Even she had to leave because Ray had already hurt her.
Kaina .. Where is she now?
