Pursuing Love in the Past

A Seputhan Ayunda Family Story

Hi Good-natured Reader, always take care of health yes 😊

🌸🌸🌸

"Ayunda.." call someone.

Ayunda immediately turned to the source of the voice, when he was faced with the person, he pointed to himself, to convince the person was indeed calling himself.

"remember that?" he asked while smiling at Ayunda.

Ayunda tried to think where she had met the woman.

"Winda Santoso" he said, introducing himself to Ayunda.

Ayunda gasped, she just remembered the business card she had given her, "What was on the busway at that time?" ask Ayunda.

"Yes, we finally met here" said Winda kindly.

"I'm sorry I ignored the business card you gave me" she said.

"That doesn't matter anymore, what matters is that you're here now" he said sincerely. Then he turned to the assistant. He asked his assistant to arrange all the work of the interns in accordance with the pre-determined section.

Where's reina? inner Ayunda.

Just as Ayunda asked inwardly, Reina had already appeared. "Where from?" she asked Reina in a whisper.

"From the toilet", he said.

Then Winda's assistant directed them towards their respective parts.

***

A man focused on watching the cctv screen. Highlight his eyes did not stop staring at the person visible from the cctv screen. Ferdo is the CEO of Santoso Station.

Tok...

The sound of a knock on the door surprised him, with a hasty closing of the screen the cctv turned to the documents that were on his desk while letting in a faithful person waiting at the door.

"Excuse me, sir", said his secretary, Tya. "Miss Cindy--Aww.." her speech was interrupted when a woman pushed her, forcing her way inside.

The sexy woman walked gracefully closer to Ferdo. "Hi, honey." she said smiling seductively.

You have no manners, Inner Tya.

"Yes, didn't I remind you, no guest is allowed to enter, without my permission!" he said with emotion.

"I-I'm sorry, sir", he said nervously.

"Honey to be"

"Yes, do I have to repeat! sergeant.

"Miss Cindy, please cooperate" she asked politely.

"Dear forgive me, I know you must be busy, I promise I won't bother you at this time, but please pick up my phone" he said fondly making the secretary shudder in horror.

Ferdo ignored Cindy's words, he continued flipping through the file in his hand expressionlessly.

"See you dear" he said as he passed leaving Ferdo's room.

The secretary followed him from behind making sure he was out of the boss' room and not going back in.

Not long ago Ferdo called Tya's secretary. "Yes, if there's another Cindy Cindy who wants to see me, tell me I'm meeting."

"Well, sir", he said politely and hung up after the boss closed it first.

"One Cindy alone sucks, what if there are five", he murmured while shuddering in horror.

***

"Sorry, Na. I'm reluctant if I have to go to the cafeteria, in case I don't buy anything" he said softly.

"Well, if you're reluctant, I'll buy you a drink" he said.

Ayunda can not dodge anymore, "You are so stubborn yes", said Ayunda resigned. Then they walked together to the cafeteria.

At the Santoso Station office cafeteria, employees spend time enjoying their lunch. A few male employees stared unblinkingly as Ayunda and Reina passed by them.

"Hey, interns here are still places" said one of the four men.

Reina turned her head towards the man, "Sorry Brother, we are looking for another bench only", he said kindly.

The man did not accept Reina's rejection, "no expensive salesman, there are so many women who are much prettier than you" he said looking down on Ayunda and Reina.

Ayunda immediately pulled Reina's hand, when Reina tried to approach the man, "already not extended, we come here to eat", said Ayunda gave understanding Reina. Without a word, Reina turned around pulling Ayunda's hand away from the men.

Reina invites Ayunda to join with other interns. He knew they were apprentices of the clothes they were wearing.

Ayunda and Reina sat facing each other with the two apprentices. Then Ayunda opened the provisions that had been carried earlier. One of the interns who saw him looked at him, "ck, are we in kindergarten school!" ledek.

Reina's ears were hot hearing it, "Hey, don't you have any parents at home?" ask Reina.

"What do you mean?" reply by asking back.

"Why do you envy when people bring supplies. Do you know in the provisions that are carried there is love more than anything. I don't think you have the love of anyone, like he has!" sergeant Reina.

The person stared intently at Reina, "what a difference it is with you!" his reply.

Reina took something out of her pants pocket, "It makes no difference. I always carry my mama's lollipop.

"Based on a freak" he murmured.

"I still hear it" Reina said.

The woman before him was silent with a vengeful face. Reina ignored him, she immediately went to order food, but the person before her increasingly looked at her cynically.

It didn't take long Reina came back to Ayunda who was still the same as the two apprentices. They enjoyed each other's food in silence.

The lunch hour ended, Ayunda began to close back its provisions after the mother's food was finished in the voracious. Then they return to the divisions that have been set upon them. Ayunda returned to the program room while Reina was in the marketing division.

***

A woman walks into the event program division room.

"Mrs Winda." greet some of the people in the room kindly.

Winda returned their greeting with a smile, then walked over to Ayunda. "Ayunda.." call her softly.

"Yes, Brother", repaid Ayunda with a smile.

The person in the room gasped at Ayunda's words. "Who is he? Why did he call Miss Winda sister?" whisper someone to a friend.

"I don't know, maybe a close relative" his friend whispered.

"Oo, so it's like that" said Winda after getting an explanation why his nickname is Ay. "So which one do you prefer?" ask Winda.

Ayunda fell silent, then let out a short sigh, "I prefer my old calling, if the one calling by that name is my own brother", she said.

Winda saw the cheerful face of Ayunda suddenly turned sad. He immediately stopped discussing the name and anything related to his family. Winda knew a piece of the story about the Ayunda family from his cousin Ferdo, the information he got by painstakingly persuading Ferdo. Almost every day he whines for a story about the Adrian family, finally Ferdo gives up and is forced to tell it even if only a piece of the story.

After Winda got another piece of the story from his younger brother Adrian, he said goodbye to Ayunda, then rushed out of the room.
