Pride of Love

Meet Old Friends

That day Andra was very busy, the ringing of the phone and email came in as if there was no end to be done by him.

"Andra you've had lunch?" Word came into Andra's room.

"Not yet Pa...in a moment!" answered Andra while continuing to focus in front on her laptop screen.

"Andra. lately papa see you're very busy and I think you need someone who can help you with your work."

"Pa, Andra has interviewed people several times but no one is fit to help Andra pa...!" Andra closed her laptop screen.

"This time papa wants to promote a papa staff, move from a branch office in Bekasi. Papa has seen his CV he is also the same graduate as you. He himself asked to be transferred to the headquarters because his family is here. You try to meet the same person first!"

"Excuse me Mr. Firman, Mr. Yogi from the branch office has come sir". Nadya knocked on the door and went straight into the room.

"Oh yeah, tell Nadya to come in!" Word.

"The Lord Mr. Word.." A man in a ash-and-ash shirt and a red tie walked into the room. Andra was receiving a call on her phone when Yogi walked into her room.

"Yogi. This is Andra, president director of FH Property, he is also the CEO of HW Logistics and my son-in-law. Let's sit down and talk!" The Word also sat beside the Yogi.

"Andra hung up her phone and turned her head towards the man who had just sat before her.

"YOGI...!" SAYS......!"

Andra rounded her eyes and approached Yogi with a big smile on her lips.

"Andra's...!"

Yogi Pun looks surprised to see the man who will be his superior was not a stranger to him.

Yogi got up from his seat and Andra immediately hugged him.

"Ahhh..... Do you know each other?" The smiling Word saw what was happening in front of him.

"This yogi was Andra's best friend in Pa's college." Andra explained.

"Yogi...gue did not expect to see you here, whether we have not seen you for how long?" Andra still shook Yogi's hand so tightly. Yogi seems awkward, even though Andra was his best friend in college but his position is now different, Andra is his prospective boss and he must respect him.

"I'm sorry Mr. Andra, this is not my fault, right? Is this really Andra my college friend?" The yogi still did not believe the man before him.

"Hahahaha... is there anything strange Yogi.. Am I so changed that you forget your own best friend?"

Yogi shook his head. "Andra that I know in the past was a very simple person.he was a friend that I used to take heat to the campus riding angkot and busway. I never knew that it turned out that he was the heir of the famous businessman Hadiwiguna" Yogi lowered his head.

"Yes, you guys have talked first.. Papa's going to Papa's room.." Word interrupts Yogi and Andra's conversation and steps out of the room.

Andra and Yogi then continue the conversation.

"I have been assigned to the Branch Office in Bekasi as the Head of procurement department Pak Andra, but my sister had to study in Jakarta, so I applied to move to the headquarters." Yogi told me still in an awkward tone to Andra.

"Yogi.. don't be so formal..we are Bro.!. I don't like the way you say that." Andra patted Yogi on the shoulder so as not to be too awkward to him.

Andra then picks up the phone and is seen calling someone.

"Sir Adi please come to my room!" Andra called Mr. Adi the head of personnel.

"Sir Andra called me?" Adi came into the room.

"Sir Adi. This is Mr. Yogi, he I adopted as my assistant at FH Property. Please show her the room and get her oriented first." Later orders.

"I'm welcome here sir?!" Yogi asked Andra with a face that still seemed to be in disbelief. Andra patted his best friend's shoulder again with a thumbs up and smiled.

"Now you introduce first.later afternoon after office hours we chat again while chatting in the cafe below" Andra whispered to him. Yogi nodded slowly.

"Sir Yogi. Come with me!" Mr. Adi took Yogi out of Andra's room.

"Gue actually does not believe that the Andra I know first turned out to be the heir to the Hadiwiguna family that is rich." Yogi still can't believe knowing the truth about his best friend.

"Eh.all times Gi!" Andra just smiled.

As Yogi learns that Andra is his goofy best friend, they used to fight and laugh together, eat on the side of the road, and go to college on the busway, even Andra never showed that he was the son of a wealthy businessman.

"Where have you been all this time Gi?" Andra started the chat.

"Let me go back to my village in Trenggalek Ndra, I have worked for 3 years in Prima Go branch office in Bekasi, I was just a warehouse staff, at first, then promoted to head of procurement by Mr. Benny.

My parents in the village are no longer able to work so my sister is my dependant now, they live in Jakarta and study here so I can't go back and forth to Jakarta Bekasi every day." Yogi began to tell about his life for almost 4 years after graduating from the same campus with Andra studying while in Jakarta and earned his S1 degree.

"Have you married Gi?" Andra glanced at Yogi's finger which was still empty without any wedding rings.

"Ndra not yet.. I'm single!" Yogi chuckles to remember his own self.

"Then your boyfriend is Si....Natalie...??" Andra asked again.

"Gue has long since broken up with Ndra, his parents do not agree with our relationship, because of different beliefs."

"But you're also the one who took the virgin Natalie?"

"He.ha..ha...." The two men laughed at the same time.

"That's exactly what makes me until now have not been able to memelupain Natalie Ndra., our relationship has gone too far, already like husband and wife. But what is the power of a mate in God's hands." Yogi sighed while sipping his coffee which had started to cool.

"How about Ndra himself? Surely you are very happy can not marry the beautiful daughter of Mr Firman?"

Andra shook her head "Amel is that haughty and spoiled girl Gi. I married Amel because of arranged marriage, the late Father and Mr. Firman who wanted it, although until now I have no sense what is the same Amel...",

"Have you ever met Amel?" Andra asked back.

"We met when Amel nolongin passed out in the lobby of Prima Go. She's really pretty, isn't she?" Yogi smiling shows his admiration.

"Ehm..." Andra let out a long sigh and went back to telling her life journey from moving to Jogja to her marriage to Amel.

"Gue also defended the passing of Mr. Joddy Hadiwiguna Ndra..!" yogi said after hearing Andra's story while giving a pack of cigarettes to Andra.

Andra instantly showed her palm while shaking the head of the sign she refused. Since moving to London, he has also quit smoking.

"Wow.. cool lo Ndra.., in addition to being a great person has started to live healthy also lo now." The yogi lit a cigarette and slowly inhaled it and exhaled the smoke through his mouth.

"But I'm not okay, Bro?" Yogi asked.

"Ha.ha.ha.ha just relax Bro" Andra chuckles at the behavior of her best friend who has now begun to be no longer awkward to her.

"Now you're married means you don't like love one more night dong like the same girl who likes to chase you first?"

"ha.ha.ha..."

A crisp laugh came from the mouths of the two.

"Heh. I ever said love with girls, they're the ones who like to chase me." Andra still laughs a little reminiscing about her bad time in college.

"Ndra.. I don't know how many girls you've taken the hero continue to lo stay that way..." Yogi again chuckles at his best friend.

"Gue never asked them to give up their virginity to me?, they only want...Where are cats refused to be given fish, right??" Andra did not want to lose chiming and the same laugh again.

Their chatter was even more desperate to talk about something quite personal like the story of two adult men who reminisce about their madness in college.

It's been a long time since her father died Andra has never laughed as loosely as he does now. The presence of his best friend made him feel comforted.

It did not feel that their long chatter had made them sit there until the evening before. The two then went home with a feeling of pleasure because it was the same as being able to vent about each other's lives.
