Mystery of Small Shoes

25

"Congratulations, huh?" Rudi thrust his hand to greet Sarah.

"Thank you, sir."

Sarah still does not believe that the person in front of her is the CEO of the company where she works. All this time he never tried to find out about the company's leader. For him it is important he gets a job, works well and earns money. In his shadow, the CEO of the company was an old man, bald and serious-looking. Very contrary to the profile of the person in front of him now.

"Don't hesitate. We have known him before. Oh yeah, how's Bio?" asked Rudi trying to melt the atmosphere so that Sarah did not feel awkward anymore.

"Thank God be good" answered Sarah.

"So miss him. Bio is a smart child, the talk is very directional, independent and not crybaby. What age is he?"

"4 years."

"When can I, can I meet him? Even if his father allows it, let there be no misunderstanding."

Sarah is surprised to hear Rudi's remarks, but she does not try to explain that she is a single parent to Fabio. Sarah was silent.

Seeing Sarah like that Rudi became confused and wondered what was wrong with her words.

"sorry. Are my words wrong?"

"Oh, no. There aren't. Nothing's wrong."

"Oh yes, maybe soon you will get an interview call in connection with the race. You prepare yourself, will you?"

Rudi tried to make Sarah not feel nervous in front of him. Starting from things about writing to things that are not important he talked about, even occasionally Rudi threw jokes and made Sarah smile.

"Ah, what a sweet smile," Rudi's mind.

"So you're Vina's friend?" ask Rudi.

"Yes." Yeah."

"You must be good friends, yesterday at home you seemed very familiar, even Fabio also looks not ashamed to be among the Vina family. You guys been friends a long time?"

"No. I know Vina in this office. He's a nice guy and easy to get along with" Sarah explained.

Somehow Rudi was very comfortable to linger with Sarah, there was always talk material to hold Sarah to remain in the room. Another case with Sarah who already wanted to get out of the room. He remembered his work target this week. Every time she wanted to say goodbye, Rudi seemed to block her and continued to invite her to talk.

"Sorry, sir. I beg you first. I haven't had time to do anything for writing this week, yet" Sarah said goodbye as soon as she got the chance.

"Oh yes, I'm holding you here. Sorry, huh? Then please return to your workplace."

"Good, sir." Sarah stood up and bowed respectfully to Rudi before she turned her body and headed towards the door of the room.

"Gram!" The call made him stop his steps and turn towards the voice.

"When can we talk again, right?" ask the voice again, which is none other than Rudi's voice.

"Can." Sarah answered briefly. Sarah stepped her foot again.

After Sarah died somehow Rudi felt very happy. Like a thirsty person and finding a bottle of water, refreshing and encouraging life.

"Hey, those shoes?! He's wearing those shoes!!" Rudi only realized that Sarah was wearing shoes that she had been looking for and missed.

"Is he the one?"

Lunch time arrived, and as usual Rudi and Sarah first carried out their obligations to perform Dzuhur prayer at the mosque office.

Rudi again looked at the shoe rack in front of the ablution, but he did not find what he was looking for. Those little shoes.

Out of curiosity Rudi waited until the last person came out of the mushola. He still could not find the shoes and the owner.

In the cafeteria where Sarah and her friends used to gather for lunch, Vina and Feni were already waiting for her.

Their ordered food was on the table. Sarah immediately sat down beside Vina.

"Sar, what are you doing anyway? Old koq," asked Vina the money was starving.

"Ordinary feeling, same as the days before. I just keep praying straight here."

"Not that. I mean why are you long in Division Head's room? You were told what? Can't he believe it's Elo's work?"

"No, Vin."

"So he really doesn't believe it? As yet a senior writer, he still does not believe in the ability of elo?" Vina looked emotional.

"Sabaaar. That's why I explained, don't feel emotion. Gini, Vin. I was in Division Head's room for just a moment, he just congratulated me and told me to prepare if at any time called for the benefit of the race," explained Sarah.

"Where is the old one? We are both worried, afraid of why-why brother," Feni explained.

"That's why I was told to meet with the CEO. Well, he's the one that took me a long time."

"So seriously you're called CEO?" ask Vina curiously.

"Yes. I don't know which CEO that is. It turns out that the person I asked was the CEO. Oh my God, I'm so ashamed."

"You don't know the CEO of our company? Helow, where are you going? I think you've known, because I've seen you talk to him that night, my birthday."

"Right, I don't know, Vin. I knew him accidentally too. Where he could talk only. All he talked about" Sarah explained.

"Maybe he likes elo, Sar." Vina seduces Sarah

"Your ngaco!" Sarah's face was red.

"Who knows your soul mate, Sar. You two fit in. Matching couple," seduced Vina again.

"Udah ah, don't discuss it again. You can just flirt."

"Because, Sar. Elo's face can't lie, all red. If you like it is also okay, it is equally single."

"Vinnaaayya!" Sarah pinched Vina's arm.

"Sir, pain, Sar!" Vina grimaced in pain from Sarah's pinching.

***

After that meeting, Rudi never met Sarah again. I was curious about Sarah. He wants to know who Sarah really is and if she really owns those little shoes.

"I have to investigate. I don't want to be haunted by this kind of curiosity. But where do I start my investigation?" muttered.

Rudi kept thinking. He was determined to find the answer to all the questions within him. After a long time of thinking and considering things, Rudi discovered where he should start his investigation from.

"Vina. Yes, I can question him and find the answer to all of that!" she nodded with a smile on her lips.
