The mother opened a small box, a gift from Adrian.

"What a beauty", exclaimed the mother when a blue-eyed diamond ring was reached from the box.

"Did Mommy like it?" adrian asked as he approached the mother.

"Mother likes all your gifts" said the mother. "As long as we're always together, that's all you want, son" he said, hugging Adrian and Ayunda. They also felt the warmth of the mother's embrace.

"I've always missed this hug" Adrian said with a smile.

The mother and Ayunda also smiled, tonight they are very happy, because they can gather to celebrate the birthday of the mother, even without the father.

***

Without feeling it has been two months Ayunda interned at the company that brought him to meet his brother. Today is her last internship day, but Ayunda has yet to find someone with the initials A.

"Ay, I haven't found the person with the initials A that you asked for. So how's dong with our deal?" reina asked as she sat in the canteen seat.

Ayunda just looked at him for a glance, then again enjoyed lunch in front of him. It could be the last time you eat at Santoso Station cafeteria. "Don't think too much" said Ayunda.

"What about Tony?" ask Reina.

Ayunda smiled faintly upon hearing Reina's question. He stuffed a mouthful of rice and side dishes into his mouth, "You don't have to worry about Tony's problems either!" yelled Ayunda without looking at Reina. "I will still help you" he said with a smile towards Reina.

Reina widened her smile. "Thank you, my best friend", Reina replied as she clasped her best friend's hand. Ayunda also smiled when she saw her best friend happy.

After the lunch hour ended, Reina was seen walking in a hurry, when she was about to bring a file to the Audio room.

Brakk...

Someone hit Reina, the green map in her hand fell down, leaving the contents of the map strewn across the marble floor.

"I'm sorry", Reina said without looking at the person who hit her, picking up her scattered files. Reina stuck out her hand about to grab the last sheet, but someone had already grabbed it first.

"It!" a man whose voice was no stranger to him.

As Reina looked up at how shocked she was, a man she had always wanted to avoid was currently standing before Reina. "Asep", he muttered.

"Hi, long time no see. Why don't you ever come into the room again?" ask with a smile.

Reina was nervous, unable to answer Asep's words. "Sorry, Brother. I've been waiting!" reina tried to avoid.

"Eits, wait for dong" said Asep while blocking Reina's path.

"Help Brother, I'm in a hurry" Pinta Reina pleaded.

Asep smiled wryly, "i'll let you through, if you promise me something" Asep said.

"What's this?" asking someone made Reina and Asep shocked. "Why are you blocking the road?" ask her seriously.

"I'm sorry, sir", said Asep nervously. "I'm sorry, sir", he said, then walked away from Reina.

"Thank you, Brother Adrian", Reina said with a smile.

"OK", he replied with a slight smile, then walked away from Reina.

Ferdo walked back and forth this afternoon, he was always angry even if it was a small mistake. The secretary so bothered to make him, he had to several times go into the room Ferdo to revise something that is not so important.

Ahem... Winda cleared his throat when he heard Adrian's words. His face, which had originally looked happy, now looked gloomy.

"Yes, where's the file I asked for?" sergeant.

"Eh, yes for a second, Mom. I-I'm "

"I'll wait five minutes, it's on my desk!" he interrupted Tya's speech, then left Adrian and Tya. Winda looks upset, he walks while muttering, "cih, it turns out the song he sang yesterday is not from the heart."

"What's up with Missy?" tya asked while looking at Adrian.

"Maybe more pms!" adrian exclaims that can still be heard by Winda.

Winda was getting upset, he quickened his footsteps, not wanting to see even the voices of Adrian and Tya.

"Looks like you were right", said Tya while shaking her head in surprise with the attitude of Vinda.

"Okay, I'm in", Adrian said as he walked to the door.

"Yes, Sir. Hopefully you can calm him down" said Tya with enthusiasm.

Tok.

Adrian opened the door, without waiting for Ferdo to ask him to come in.

"What happened to you? Why do you look so good?" adrian asked when he was in Ferdo's room and sat down in front of him.

Ferdo did not answer Adrian, he continued to massage his forehead, inexplicably his head was dizzy after a day of scolding every employee who entered his room.

"I heard from Tya, your mood is not good today. Why?" adrian asked back.

"It's nothing. What's the matter you're here for?" ferdo asked in a raucous voice, distracting Adrian.

Adrian snorted furiously, "Do you not want to tell your problem, to this friend of yours? Look at your voice so that, because from now on you shouted" Adrian said with an intense stare Ferdo.

Silent.

Ferdo looked back at Adrian, very upset because his best friend likes to put pressure on him. Ferdo grabs the sticky note paper on his desk, notes something in it and gives it to Adrian.

"What the fuck, here. Now my best friend can't talk anymore!" adrian exclaimed in disbelief at what Ferdo had just done.

"Read it!" pinta Ferdo was still with her voice.

"Please have some warm orange juice on Tya!" adrian reads messages on sticky notes. "Okay, I'll take it" he said as he walked to the door, then out of Ferdo's room.

"Your rules are really weird!" adrian exclaimed at Tya as he closed the door of Ferdo's room. "Look at him write down his request on this sticky note. It's pink too, puft." Adrian held back his laughter.

Tya who had bent her face also smiled, when she heard what Adrian had just said.

Suddenly Ferdo opened the door of his room and stared intently at Tya. Tya who was stared at like that immediately turned her eyes on the laptop screen in front of her.

Adrian turned to face Ferdo, "don't scare like that!" adrian's Pinta on Ferdo.

Ferdo did not reply Adrian, he instead gave a new sticky note paper.

"Hurry up!" adrian read the message. "Yes, okay. I will walk at full speed" he said, leaving Ferdo, who had closed the door.

"Either what happened to him today", Adrian muttered as he walked towards the pantry.

***

After waiting for less than ten minutes, Ferdo finally enjoyed a glass of warm orange juice specially made Adrian. He thanked his best friend for still paying attention to what he needed. Since childhood, Adrian has always paid attention to Ferdo. Even Adrian took the role of a mother, who always paid attention to Ferdo when he was sick. All Adrian's treatment of him will never be forgotten, because Adrian is his true friend.

To be continue...
