Pride of Love

Friends During College

Yogi tidied up his laptop bag from a desk in a coworking space area. He just finished his meeting with his client there for the continuation of the transaction of a hotel building in Mandalika Lombok which Andra and the hotel owner agreed before.

Yogi got up from his seat about to leave the place, but suddenly a woman walked towards him and accidentally hit him. The woman seemed unfocused on her steps as she was busy receiving calls on her phone.

"Sorry, I'm sorry!" the woman bent her body while keeping her phone back in the pocket of the blazer she was wearing.

Yogi widened his eyes and looked at the woman closer.

"Vil.....!" Yogi recognized the woman and then smiled broadly at her. The woman named Vilda also looked at Yogi but seemed to doubt if she had ever known the man before her.

"Yogi...!  Yogi Hermawan, I'm not wrong, am I?" he said while putting his index finger on his forehead trying to remember.

"Hey.... Has anything changed from my appearance Vil, why are you looking at me confused like that?" Yogi asked with a small ruckus sound coming out of his mouth while watching his clothes guess what was wrong with his appearance that day. For a moment he felt confused because he felt that nothing looked strange from him.

"You're my college friend Yogi, right?" Vilda still hesitated, her eyeballs moving from top to bottom staring at Yogi from head to toe.

"Yes Vilda....! you forgot about me?!" Yogi asked back.

"Oh my goodness Yogi .. I swear I pangling! I don't recognize you. Your performance is very different when you first went to college...!" Vilda patted Yogi's shoulder and looked at him with a doubtful yet amazed look.

"Lo formal look real Gi, wear a suit and tie anyway! You're sultan now, right?" Vilda walks around Yogi while being amazed by the way Yogi dresses that looks so formal.

"What sultan?, I'm just a regular employee!" Kilah Yogis.

Vilda was already starting to put a familiar smile on her lips as her doubts were already gone. They sat and talked there.

"Lo doesn't work here, does Vil? Where do you work now? Didn't you work in Surabaya after college?" Yogi started his chat.

"Iya Gi, until now I still work in five-star hotels in Surabaya really, but I am now as a JSO and I do business here every day!" Vilda then took out her business card and handed it to Yogi.

"Vilda Veronica, Senior Sales Manager - Jakarta Sales Office" Yogi read the name and position listed on the business card and there is a logo of a five-star international brand hotel there.

"Well great Vil, you're already the manager!" Yogi also commented on the smile of praise for Vilda.

"Okaya Gi, after all my work contract there is also a few months left and I have to find a new job in Jakarta!" Vilda just smiled faintly.

"Lo himself works where Gi? You look really cool already kind of sultan oil, surely you work in a bona fide company huh?" Vilda chuckled but still stared in admiration at Yogi.

"Gue is not a sultan, the real sultan is Andra!" Yogi shook his head. "Lo remembers Andra, right?" Yogi then asked again.

"Andra's? Jovandra Mahesa mean lo Gi?" Vilda again tried to guess the hell.

"Yya Jovandra Mahesa Hadiwiguna" Yogi made it clear again.

"Lo didn't think that Andra was a sultan?" Yogi still smiled "He is the sole heir of the Hadiwiguna family, the owner of the HW Logistics expedition company, and also the son-in-law of the owner of Prima Go Constructions, and I work at Andra's company as his assistant now!" continued.

"Ah time anyway Gi?" Vilda looks still in disbelief. "To my knowledge Andra is a very simple guy like us, where could he be a sultan?!" Vilda nodded doubtfully.

"At first I was the same as elo Vil, I also did not expect Andra was actually a rich man's son, he always looked simple when he was in college and even now is still the same." Yogi.

"Hemm... You said you wanted to find another job, right?" Yogi again asked Vilda with an enthusiastic looking face. "How about you work at the Andra company only, he is also the owner of a property agent and we just got a hotel in Mandalika Lombok which is planned to be managed by ourselves. I think you could be a JSO for that hotel later."

Vilda widened her smile even more Yogi's offer sounded so tempting to her.

"Indeed I'm qualified enough to work there, Gi? It's a big company, of course the recruitment process of its employees will also be very strict." Vilda looked doubtful again.

Vilda breathed in her flat her facial expression looked changed but returned a smiling sigh. "Ok Gi, I want to!"

"Lo's busy right now? If you want me to meet Andra today!" Yogi.

"Gue wants to go sales call anyway, but I happen to be the meeting place in the same direction as lo Gi's office, I can stop there first!" Vilda answered enthusiastically.

"Yuk Cuss is coming in the car with me!" Take Yogi while stepping towards the elevator.

The two then headed to the parking lot in the basement of the coworking space building.

Arriving at the parking lot Vilda was again stunned when Yogi pressed the remote of the car.

"Wow is this your Gi SUV?! This is actually the sultan's car!" Vilda could not hide her admiration, a new German sports utility vehicle that was in front of her made him even more amazed .

"This is Andra's car, my car again service periodical, so earlier Andra gave her car for me to bring here, she would never use a driver even for office business!" Yogi answered while opening the car door. Vilda increasingly believes that Andra is indeed a rich man but still behaves simply.

They also headed to the Prima Go building.

Arriving at the 25th floor of the Prima Go Building, Yogi immediately brought Vilda to Andra's room.

"Lo wait a minute here, Vil, I'm in first!" Yogi let Vilda sit in the waiting room.

"Where's the meeting Bro, it's all done, right?" Andra immediately asked when she saw Yogi enter her room but her eyes were still focused on her laptop screen.

"Beres is the contract is clear. The hotel has been transferred on behalf of FH Property, now we just think about managing it." Yogi answered while handing over a map to Andra.

"The first thing we have to do is find the right marketing for that hotel Gi!" Said Andra while receiving the map from Yogi's hand.

"Take it easy Bro, I already have a strong candidate to be the head of marketing at the hotel" replied Yogi confidently.

"Who's Gi?" Andra curious.

"The guy's here, bro, wait, I'm calling him!" Yogi steps out and calls Vilda to come in.

Vilda entered Andra's room.

"Good day Mr. Andra!" He greeted her with a friendly smile on his lips like someone in an interview.

Andra immediately turned to look at Vilda and rounded her eyes.

"Vilda...!" Andra stood up from her seat and let Vilda sit in the chair in front of her.

"You two have a chat first, I'd like to reply to an email for a moment, there's an urgent request!" Yogi leaves Andra and Vilda both in the room.

Andra sat back in her chair and looked at Vilda meaningfully.

"How's Vil doing?" Andra asked briefly in a flat voice.

"Good news Mr. Andra, nice to meet you here!" Vilda said as she continued to smile without burden.

Unlike Andra, he seemed wrong to see the woman who was now sitting and continued to smile in front of him. For a moment I remembered who the woman who was now in front of her eyes was. In addition to Vilda was his friend during college, Vilda had also inscribed a story in Andra's life.
