Happy Reading 😊

Recently the engagement was held, but Ferdo felt like nothing had happened. He considered it, as a formality so as not to get the rage of the grandfather. Right now he was busying himself with work that was not really urgent, but he was working on it to avoid meeting with Siska.

The grandfather who did not stop contacting him, made his head seem to break. So he had to deactivate his phone.

"Didn't he have a job other than to complain to Grandpa!" he said by scraping ink on the paper in front of him. "I would definitely die young, if I had to deal with a woman like her every day" he said back while crashing the paper he had just scratched, then Ferdo bit him in annoyance.

Chequek.

"Is this really the CEO Santoso Station room?" adrian asked by raising one of his eyebrows, who entered abruptly and had witnessed what Ferdo had just done.

"Get out! I don't need your taunts!" sergeant while throwing the paper that had just been squeezed it towards Adrian.

Adrian ignored Ferdo's words, he sat down casually in the chair in front of Ferdo. "I know you're happy" he said, causing Ferdo to swoop in and want to drown Adrian in the Amazon.

"Are you tired of living?" Ferdo turned his gaze back.

"I'm sorry... I won't taunt you anymore. I came here to tell you something" Adrian said seriously. Ferdo looked towards Adrian while waiting for his next speech.

"I know why Grandpa betrothed you to Siska" said Adrian, who made Ferdo more interested in listening to him. "Grandpa suspects that the main culprits for your parents are Om Benny and Aunt Mery."

Ferdo was shocked to hear Adrian's words. A painful fact to hear. "You must not accuse anyone!" sahut Ferdo doesn't believe aunt Mery was involved.

"I overheard my grandfather talking to someone on the phone. He asked the guy to keep following Om Benny and Aunt Mery."

"So it's related to my engagement?" ask Ferdo.

"Grandfather told me that you were just their distraction."

Ferdo was upset, because his grandfather told Adrian such an important thing, but not him. He grabbed the phone on the table, then contacted the grandfather impatiently.

Tut.

"Hallo, Kek", greeted Ferdo after his grandfather said hello from across the phone.

"I want to ask you something, Cake."

"Quick say!" replied the grandfather in a flat tone.

"Why didn't Grandpa tell me, why did Grandpa betrothed me to Siska?" ask Ferdo who's back upset.

"I'm guessing, Adrian must have told you." Grandpa's voice from the other end of the phone.

"That's not important, Cake. I was just wondering, why would Grandpa tell Adrian instead of Grandpa's own granddaughter?" ask Ferdo who is increasingly cornering the grandfather.

"No need to talk about it anymore. Tell that bad boy I don't trust him anymore."

"But. hello, Cake... Kek.." call Ferdo many times when the grandfather has disconnected his phone. Then Ferdo put the phone back on his desk roughly.

"Actually I promised my grandfather not to tell you this. He must have been very angry earlier" said Adrian who was also upset when Ferdo rubbed his face rough.

"We have to plan something to help grandfather" Ferdo said. Suddenly an idea flashed through his mind. Ferdo explains the plan in detail to Adrian.

"How's it?" tanya Ferdo asked Adrian for his opinion.

Adrian nodded his head. "Good idea", said Adrian who agreed with Ferdo.

In the canteen of the very crowded Tri Karya campus, Ayunda sat alone in a corner chair with a sad face.

"Hey!" reina shouted to surprise him. Ayunda only looked up at a glance, then lowered her head again.

"What's up, huh? Why does your face look so pitiful, then? Do you have a problem? Come on, tell your best friend this." Reina continued to ask Ayunda many questions, but Ayunda kept silent without a word.

"Ehm, is my best friend in love" Reina continued to tease Ayunda. But Ayunda remained silent, and occasionally glanced.

"What does this have to do with Mr. Ferdo?" reina asked, which made Ayunda look directly at Reina when she heard Ferdo's name mentioned. "O, so it's because of him" Reina said, referring to Ayunda's gaze.

"No!" sahut Ayunda firmly. "Sorry Rein, I went to class first, yes", said Ayunda with a sad face, then left the most troubled Reina.

"Aye... Ay's... " Reina kept calling, but Ayunda ignored her. Reina breathed a heavy sigh. "Huf... What's wrong with Ayunda?" his mind kept wondering, but he did not forget to sip a glass of orange juice on the table.

At the Santoso Station office all employees are still busy even though the clock has shown at 3 pm. As with Ferdo, he is still faithful in his room, even lunch is done in the room.

Tok.

The door of his room was knocked, distracting him who had been focusing on the laptop screen in front of him. "Lake in!" his shout gave permission to someone who knocked on the door of his room.

Chequek.

"Hi, honey!" greet Siska as her face appeared from behind the door. Ferdo rubbed his face rough, because he forgot to tell the secretary, that even though they were engaged, it didn't change anything.

"What's wrong?" ask Ferdo casually.

"I just want to wait for you to come home" Siska said with a big smile. Then he sat down on the sofa while looking towards Ferdo. "I'm bored at home, so I came here all to encourage you" he said happily.

What was my work was getting messy, Ferdo's mind was upset.

"You don't have to do that, because I'm always excited at work" Ferdo said, holding back his frustration.

"So, you kicked me out?" siska asked in an unfriendly tone.

If it wasn't for that plan, I'd have kicked you out of that non, inner Ferdo.

"O, not that. I just don't normally work like I'm being watched. I'm so out of focus" replied Ferdo.

"I know, surely your focus will be split, between work and me. Aye, right?" Siska asked with a blink of her eyes.

"Eh, yes. So please don't come here often" he said trying to convince Siska.

"All right, sweetheart. But tonight you'll have to come to my apartment, yeah. I'd like to introduce you to my friends, at that time you haven't been able to introduce me, because you just suddenly disappeared.

"I'll try" said Ferdo flatly.

"I'll be waiting for you, baby" he said as he got off the couch, then walked over to Ferdo. Siska leaned in as if she was going to kiss Ferdo. Ferdo quickly stood up from his seat, then pretended to cough.

Siska knows, Ferdo dodged when he was about to be kissed. Then he said goodbye to her, without asking for an explanation for Ferdo's refusal.

To be continue...
