Eps 28 Learning All Things

Ting... Levi came out of the elevator with his long steps. Emotions are clearly reflected in the reddened look of his face, offended by the words of the mother earlier. The intention is only one to the airport.

In the lobby his ears caught the angry screams of two men and a woman. The scenery he saw was 2 women in front office uniforms who were downcast with security who had opened the door of his car. The closer it looks 3 people are nervous and frightened, standing in front of 2 people who are young, maybe the same age as Levi, with a look like a young executive neat and looks expensive.

"You're fired!"

The man's arrogant voice was accompanied by a rude thrust on the security's chest. While the woman ruffled her waist and spoke equally loudly...

"Campus you guys, who do you think you are!"

Levi stopped observing and was a little distracted...

"Who would they dare to fire a mommy employee?"

Levi also saw 2 people who stood not far behind the two angry people, silent with full default in their hands, maybe just an assistant because they did not look broken.

The two people then walked over haughtily with satisfied smiles, followed by their assistants. The small company passed through Levi without regard to Levi they went to the elevator. So Levi forgot his anger he turned around and quickly entered the elevator which was almost closed.

Only the 2 people inside stared intently at Levi. Even the woman was raving...

"Who the hell, don't know yourself carelessly entering..."

Calmly and leisurely Levi glanced at the flaming button on the number 15, instead of the mami floor, Levi pressed the number 17 and it silenced the mouth of the woman who was about to babble again.

Levi knew he was being watched, but he acted calmly as he removed the waist bag that was coiled around his shoulder. When the door opened the two men came out but threw a probing look at Levi. Levi smiled faintly watching the two men's reaction to him. It was fortunate that his sunglasses had not come off so he was free to pay attention to them.

Mami and a man who had seen Levi in the lobby turned their heads when the door opened without knocking. Levi came in, the glasses were not gripped in the nose of his nose and so was his bag, 2 it had been fortified. Levi took a seat on the sofa, silent because the mother and the man seemed to continue their discussion.

In silence he thought about his reaction to the mami before this, thinking about the 2 people that caused him to return to the mami room, thinking also about his plan to finish S2, and about the terms he's going to put up with mommy, lastly about the girl he loves.

He must learn self-control, ego-restraint and mature learning now so as not to easily lose focus and direction. Mami did not wrongly comment on her appearance because she was used to the formal style. All the employees he had seen were also like that, the style of the office people. Well just follow it, no parent wants to plunge his child into the wrong thing especially papi says mami needs him.

Mami's assistant came in carrying a tray containing coffee and tea. Trays are placed on a large table where the mother and the man are still sitting face to face. A position a little far from the sofa where Levi was sitting so that he could not hear the contents of the talk of motherhood.

The assistant approached Levi...

"Sir Andre wants coffee or tea..."

"No, I asked for fruit from the house..."

He's called 'sir' now. The assistant placed a container of fruit and a bottle of mineral water while smilingly looking at Levi. Levi was uncomfortable, usually he would immediately respond with a smile as well, but given the words of the mother Levi did not so raise the corner of his lips. Carla's assistant who was disappointed her smile was not reciprocated a little frown she switched to arranging something on the mami's desk.

"Andre.this is Ridwan, he will explain and help you learn things about our company."

Levi stood up and welcomed the hand of the man with the thick posture.

"Please help..."

"Yes, excuse me, Mr. Vero, Mr. Andre..."

Ridwan bowed respectfully and exited the room. Mami sat near Levi now, and Levi sat down.

"Carla.. call Vienna and Gerald here..."

"You have an assistant, his name is Gerald. Your room is next to Mommy's. Gradually your mami task will be handled, therefore I hope you learn seriously during this year, focus. Mami is also the same as you when entering, no experience, even no educational backround, only capital courage and confidence. Ask Mami or Ridwan what you don't understand. For now your only duty is that."

Mami stood towards her grand table...

"Don't stay away from mommy..."

Levi was touched by the last sentence, showing the longing of a mother who could never reach her only child because of the great responsibility for this company. It is also implied that a mother who actually needs warmth from her child. Levi looked at the back of his mother with a feeling that had just grown, he also actually missed.

The door was knocked and opened from the outside. Vienna and a man came in. Levi had known Viennese secretary Mami several times to the house.

"Good morning.." Both at the same time.

"Gerald. You start working with Mr. Andre now, take him to his room and you work according to Ridwan's instructions."

"Well, ma'am, let's take Andre..."

"Mi, I'm leaving..."

"Yes.... Win, what should I see? What's the schedule today?"

My mom focused on work.

Gerald smiled as his hand let Levi come out first. Gerald is more friendly, age is also not much different. Levi feels more comfortable with Gerald than Ridwan. but inevitably he has to deal with Ridwan later as his mentor, it seems he is a trusted mami. He has to learn a lot about the company, about the people he will face and their position/job title, including learning to understand Vero's mom...

*****

Kharis woke up this morning with a tired body, he wanted to linger in his bed as was his custom, but today he had to go to college, to sign the revised thesis. He opened the window, shifted the curtains, and remained standing in front of the window.

His eyes were on the house next door. A little boy was riding his bike out of the garage. The house next door has changed residents for three months. Om Peter's already mutated to headquarters. No more neighbors named Levi, the possibility of meeting also does not exist. Revy used to tease her every call, baby it's too late.

There was a sense of regret creeping in the recesses of his heart remembering the figure of his neighbor, why he closed off access to Levi.

A few days ago he activated the old simcard again, there were hundreds of chat Levi who raced blue. But it's been stopped since three months ago. Kharis tries to reply to the chat and calls, numbers out of reach. Levi's last post was the same three months ago a photo of him with glasses given by Kharis who expressed his longing. After that there is no more. Maybe Levi had forgotten. He also has to learn to forget...
