Picking Up the Past

Arya and Secretary Arjun

Arya drives Rita's car casually following Rita's direction to where Rita's father is held, their atmosphere feels relaxed as usual, their atmosphere of intimacy is quite long since Rita became Aryan secretary.

“you sure you want to meet my father Arya?” asked Rita in her soft tone.

“iya, you think I'm messing around, here we're walking” replied Arya casually.

“whatever later, I hope you are not disappointed with my father, all my father borne was slander Arya” said Rita tried to convince Arya before actually talking to her father.

“you take it easy, I trust you and your father, I even feel your ability as a secretary comes down from your father”, Arya assured Rita.

“you mean?”

“your father was secretary at Adinata groupkan?” arya asked, still staring at the focus of the road they were on.

“I've told ya same kamu” said Rita staring blankly at the streets by her side.

“Rita, if later I get a higher position than this, will you still be by my side?” arya asked with her tone.

“what do you mean?” asked Rita who was astonished by Arya's sentence.

“if later I have the opportunity to become CEO in the Adinata group how?, do you want to replace your father first?” arya asked with her candlestick tone.

“dream you Arya height" ledek Rita while looking at Arya who is still focused on driving.

"if high dreams are okay Ta"

"again I also have no intention to level that high, with my position now only, but Aaron has no confidence to be my husband” said Rita casually.

“ya natural, you must be careful to face my brother, for men and husbands self-esteem is important lo Ta, if until a little you feel higher than him, for example, can be destroyed your family” said Arya reminded Rita.

“astagaa, your words are no good Arya” upset Rita heard Arya's words.

“but I think Aaron is a bit like me, if I can forgive Mila, of course he can also forgive your mistakes, but still, he said, usually if the male self-esteem has been stepped on by his wife, their relationship will be difficult to improve, the husband's self-esteem is high lo Ta” explained Arya casually.

“then why are you still with your wife now?, is 3 weeks not because of your pride?, I don't really know your problem, but if you disappeared during that time, it's definitely a big mistake she's making, it's a big mistake, and I'm sure it's purely his fault, if it's your fault, surely you won't leave, but try to fix it” Rita flatly told Arya.

“no Ta, I don't know what happened to me either, they say my heart is big enough to accept Mila's mistake, but the truth is, I just follow the strains of my destiny, to protect myself, I'm still at his side for one reason, a reason that you might soon know" explained Arya who paused for a moment, she then took a deep breath to continue her sentence.

"and also I don't know, whether since when my feelings came back for her after that event, my heart just couldn't accept seeing her crying and sad, she said, then the feeling suddenly reappears” explained Arya slowly.

Rita rubbed her forehead hearing Arya's explanation, the problem of feeling is sometimes difficult to understand, what else for people like Arya, what else for people like Arya, Arya, which is sometimes so easy to forgive others and help others without thinking how much he has to spend time and costs, things that for Rita herself is difficult to understand.

“my question you haven't answered Ta, if I get a much higher position than this, will you stay by my side?, just say yes or no, don't assume there is a debt between us” asked Arya again to Rita.

“I know the problem bang Aaron Ta, I also want to give a higher position for him in the company, but it seems he who does not have the courage for it, yes maybe he feels inferior to his life used to be the same educational background” said Arya again discussing the issue of Aaron.

“I was confused about it Arya, sometimes I feel annoyed because mas had to compare himself with my ex, I was already hating the man, that man so much, I'm even grateful that he's just an ordinary employee whose social status is far below mine now, I think it's worth the humiliation he used to have on my innocent father and mother” said Rita took a deep breath.

“everyone is different Ta, bang Aaron more to the typical thinker who assesses something completely, he assesses you from your childhood who lived luxuriously with the position of your father first, he assesses you from your childhood, maybe that's a comparison of what he can give you now, plus your higher position than him, he will definitely feel nothing in the eyes of your family, he said, likewise with your ex, he is cooler than the simple Aaron bang, yes such comparisons can make him not care when he is by your side” explained Arya again.

“it's really complicated Arya, everything has passed, why else to be in question, I'm happy with the simplicity of Aaron's mas, he is very similar to you, his good and sincere attitude, he said, it's enough to make me fall in love and miss him every moment”

"maybe there are few people like Aaron Ta, yes, for sure you should be able to always put it first for everything, and ask for his opinion for all your decisions, make him king of Ta, Ta, he will always feel like he is your priest, but if you make a decision without asking for his opinion, it will make him down, he may not be able to get angry at you, but her heart will be broken if you do that to her, ' explained Arya at length.

Arya and Rita sit waiting for Arjun's secretary at the LP visiting table where Aejun's secretary is being held. Arya looked down blankly at the white ceramic floor of the room, she tried to strengthen herself with what she was going to do, That day she would open up who she was to Arjun's secretary and also Rita's, secretary himself. Arya took a deep breath strengthening herself. 'this is my first step, you must dare Arya,' her inner self strengthening.

A middle-aged man walked slowly towards Rita and Arya, he stared in the face of Rita who was staring at him, he then looked at Arya who was looking down beside Rita.

‘what is he Arya?, Rita's superior’ Arjun's inner secretary who also strengthens her. His heart still doubts the position of his son and daughter-in-law if Arya thinks badly of the case he bears.

Secretary Arjun with slow steps then sat down in front of Rita and stared with a confused look at his daughter.

“what is Rita?, just yesterday you came here, now you are here again” said secretary Arjun tried to speak stale first.

“as I said yesterday well, this is Arya, Arya wants to meet dad” replied Rita with her cheerful attitude, she does not want her father to know what fear she felt.

Arya then raised her head and looked at the secretary Arjun, their eyes then met, their hearts were both racing. Dive into the eyes they see.

After 22 years passed, Arya again saw the figure of a man who always helped every work of his father ranging from big to small, and he was very happy, just like Rita who currently still often to the mall to buy work clothes that she uses.

Arya's eyes instantly made secretary Arjun's eyes speechless, Arya's facial features reminded her of the figure she missed so much, ‘tuan Gibran, miss Naina, the look on her face, mr. Indrakah's’ inner secretary Arjun with teary eyes.

“you,,, you”

“iya well, this is Arya that I often tell my father” said Rita with a cheerful tone, although she felt strange with the attitude of her father and also Arya.

Arya took a slow breath, “do you remember me?” arya asked in her calm tone, a sentence that made Rita instantly look towards Arya with her confused face, ‘remember?, did Arya and father ever meet before this inner’.

“you,” said secretary Arjun in his trembling tone.

Arya then raised her hand to shake hands with Arjun's secretary.

“my Indra,,, Indra Adinata”
