Pursuing Love in the Past
Ferdo's Change of Attitude



Happy Reading 😊


🌸🌸🌸


The atmosphere at the cafe began to look empty, when some visitors had gone outside from the cafe. Adrian rubbed his mouth gently using tissue, as he had just finished his lunch. A few minutes later, Ferdo and Ayunda did the same.


Ayunda did not feel awkward anymore, when he already knew Ferdo and Alfian were the same person. She was happy to finally be reunited with her childhood friend, even though they were together for only a few days. Ayunda also changed his call to be more familiar to Ferdo. He called her Alfian.


Ayunda along with Alfian and Adrian moved from their seats. Ayunda said goodbye to Lisa before continuing her steps outside the cafe. Even Ayunda wanted to say goodbye to Rian, but she only got a dislike look from Rian. Ayunda is forced to get out of the cafe, without the usual smile given by Rian.


"Why are you sad?" adrian asked when he saw Ayunda's gloomy face.


"Ah, there's nothing, Brother", he said as he got into the car. Once in the car he realized, if he was not in the car of the brother. "Ma-sorry, Brother. I got the wrong car!" exclaim Ayunda who tried to get out of the car.


"Wait a minute!" adrian shouted to stop Ayunda. "This is Alfian's car" he explained.


"Oo, this is Alfian's car. The car is very good, it is suitable for a CEO like Brother", he said with a big smile. "Hopefully Adrian can buy something like this too" he continued.


"Actually he can buy it, but he is frugally for the cost of his wedding", said Ferdo who got a sharp gaze from Adrian. "Do you not want to work anymore?" tanya Ferdo intimidates Adrian.


"Currently, it's just threatening!" adrian exclaimed as he drove the vehicle he was driving. "Your mother don't get too familiar with him!" adrian exclaimed in an annoyed tone.


"Haha... You look funny if you praise each other, brother", said Ayunda with a laugh. Ayunda's current feeling was very happy, as she was able to reunite with Alfian, her childhood friend.


"Sister, drop me off at the bus stop. I don't have any more college hours, so I want to go home on the busway" Ayunda said, leaning slightly forward as she spoke to her sister.


"I'm not allowed! I'll drive you!" adrian exclaims full of emphasis. "From the bus stop to the apartment is very far away, are you going on foot" Adrian continued, because he saw Ayunda was silent with a frowning face.


"Don't be too hard on him" Ferdo said, patting Adrian on the shoulder.


"I know how to properly educate my sister" said Adrian who is still focused on driving and has passed the bus stop at the Ayunda campus.


Ayunda was upset, because her brother did not listen to her request. He turned his head to the side and looked out the window with a pouting face. Adrian glanced from the rearview mirror in the car. He didn't want to see his sister angry at him, but he did it all for Ayunda's good.


Ferdo who had been silent, confused to see the attitude of the two brothers. He plays his favorite song, to break the silence in the car.

After fifteen minutes on the way, Adrian pulled over his vehicle in front of their apartment.


"Thank you, Brother", said Ayunda when he just got off the car with a pouting face. Then Ayunda looked towards Ferdo. "Sister Alfian, visit here often, yes", he said as he looked at Ferdo with a big smile. Ferdo replied with a smile. Ayunda waved her hand after saying goodbye to Adrian and Ferdo, then walked towards the apartment lobby.


Adrian looked at Ferdo, "I regret to have told Ayunda everything", he said as he stepped on the gas pedal of the car, then drove it with moderate speed.


Adrian shook his head, as Ferdo's voice suddenly deafened his ears. The high notes on his choice of song, followed by Ferdo as a professional singer. Every song seemed to wash away the feelings of Ferdo his best friend.


"Do I need to rent a karaoke place for you?" adrian asked with a mocking smile.


Ferdo stopped following the rhythm of the song, reaching for a cell phone in his pocket to contact someone. His right hand shrank the volume, his left hand placed the phone on his ear.


He called Tya the secretary, to make an announcement. After Ferdo tells Tya clearly, a new program will be created. Ferdo disconnected the phone and put the phone back in his pocket.


"Are you really, really gonna make an event like that?" adrian asked when Ferdo had just put his phone in his pocket.


Ferdo turned towards Adrian with a smile, "Yes, why not!" he said with certainty. "You gave me the idea, I just went with your advice" he continued.


"I'm just asking you to rent a karaoke place, not to make it into a television show!" adrian exclaims who are still focused when turning his vehicle at the bend.


"Yes, it's the same!" exclaim Ferdo who does not want to be denied.


"Whatever, Mr. Ferdo. I'm just running the orders from the Father!" he was upset, but still focused on paying attention to the crowded streets, even though the sun was very stinging.


Ferdo snorted violently, he knew Adrian was very upset at him. The greeting, which turned formal, showed Adrian wanting to argue, but he could do nothing. Ferdo patted Adrian on the shoulder immediately, "calm down, if you keep supporting me, any event will be a success" Ferdo said with a smile.


Adrian took a quick glance at Ferdo, then threw out his breath heavily. "Alright, I will still support you", he replied by forcefully pulling to the two corners of his lips forming an arch.


Ferdo also tells the details of the event to be held. Adrian listened to Ferdo's explanation, while focusing on driving. Sometimes he gives input to Ferdo, for some points that are considered less than the maximum. Ferdo exchanged opinions with him. After all their talk about the new event was over they laughed together.


Ferdo and Adrian felt the impromptu meeting in the car was more fun, than the impromptu meeting they had that morning.


Without feeling Adrian has turned his vehicle into the office yard Santoso Station. Adrian runs his vehicle to the basement. After the vehicle is perfectly parked, Ferdo and Adrian get out of the car and walk towards the elevator.

Ting.


Ferdo and Adrian came out of the elevator, when the elevator was wide open. They set foot into Ferdo's room. There is a further discussion that Ferdo wants to talk about before starting a meeting with the division head.


Tya swiftly stood up, as he saw Ferdo and Adrian coming towards him. "Yes, the files of all the divisions are already on my desk?" ask him kindly.


"Eh, sir" he said with a smile. Tya felt strange with the sudden change in attitude of the boss. But he is also happy, if the attitude of his boss is always like that.


"OK", the reply was brief. "Don't let anyone in!" seriously, the secretary.


"Well, sir", said Tya with a smile. His smile never faded, even though the boss was no longer in front of him.
