Pursuing Love in the Past

Ferdo came to Ayunda Campus

Happy Reading 😊

🌸🌸🌸

Tony pulled over his vehicle right in front of the Ayunda campus gate.

"Thank you, Mas", said Ayunda when going out of the car.

"Together, Non", replied Tony with a smile. Tony did not leave immediately, he always waited for Ayunda really entered through the gate, then he drove the vehicle to leave the Ayunda campus.

"What's up there? Rame really" said Ayunda when he saw the women friends of the campus clustered while screaming hysterically.

"Is there an artist, huh? Hem, look at the artist to the extent." Ayunda again said ignoring the crowd.

"Yund!" call someone when Ayunda just stepped in through the campus gate. Then Ayunda turned her back to look at the man who had called her.

"Sister Alfian", he said with a frown. Ferdo, who was called Alfian by Ayunda, walked over to Ayunda.

"Yes, what's wrong, sister?" ask Ayunda who is curious about what Ferdo did this early in the campus.

"There's something you need to know" said Ferdo with a deep sigh. "It!" point it at the circular ring on his ring finger. "This means nothing to me. I did it just to please Grandpa."

Ayunda was confused by Ferdo's words. "Sister, what?" ask Ayunda.

"I'm not married, and my engagement is coming to an end." Ferdo said it seriously, while looking fixedly at Ayunda. He hoped Ayunda understood his purpose in saying that. "I hope you understand! Then I'll excuse you."

Ayunda silently stared at the back of Ferdo who was getting away with a crybaby face, then he pinched his arm. "Aww", ringisnya when feeling the pain of his own pinch. "I think I'm dreaming" he murmured. "Maybe Alfian's sister is studying acting," he muttered meaning Ferdo's speech which he thought was very strange, then he moved on and continued his steps towards class.

Ferdo sat behind the steering wheel with mixed feelings, worried that Ayunda did not understand what he was saying.

"It's all because of Adrian. I don't know why he asked me to meet Ayunda this early on his campus. I should have arranged a long time ago, to meet her in a romantic place." Ferdo continued to grumble, making the driver continue to glance from the rearview mirror in the car.

The driver remained silent and focused on driving, he did not want to get a burst of the boss, while saying a word. He waited for Ferdo, his superior, who asked him to speak first. But until the car he was driving into the office yard Santoso Station, Ferdo did not invite him to talk at all.

The driver pulled over his vehicle, right at the lobby door. "Please, sir", said the office guard kindly, as he opened Ferdo's car door.

"Thank you", Ferdo replied briefly, then stepped into the lobby, without greeting the receptionist who had already shown his neat teeth. The receptionist looked confused at their unusual CEO attitude. Even their teeth were almost dry, thinking Ferdo had forgotten and would turn back to greet them.

"Is that true, Mr Ferdo?" asked one of the receptionist colleagues who kept looking at Ferdo walking into the elevator, until he was out of sight.

"Of course, maybe his fiancee's making trouble. You must know very well how arrogant Ms. Siska is" replied her colleague loudly.

"Do you have no other job, than gossip!" winda snapped at the two receptionists who were the shortest when he suddenly heard the sound of a table stomp. They are afraid of getting into trouble, having talked about bad things about Vinda's cousin.

"I'm sorry ma'am, we won't repeat it again" said to the two receptionists as they covered her two hands.

"This is the last warning! Don't let me hear it again!" sergeant Winda with a sharp look.

"Well, ma'am", they said simultaneously, looking down.

Winda continued his steps towards the elevator, his mood was suddenly bad, because someone was talking bad things about his cousin.

To the two receptionists who were still frightened were silent to each other, Winda's remark made them mute, even ignoring Adrian who had just greeted them.

"What's wrong?" adrian's question got them up the ladder.

"Ma-I'm sorry, Mom. We won't repeat it."

Adrian frowned when he heard the strange remarks of the receptionist who was usually friendly with their best smile.

"Do I look like a mother?" adrian asked which made the receptionist even more frightened. They just made a mistake, and now they have added one more mistake.

"Ma-I'm sorry, sir. We were not on purpose" said one nervously.

The two receptionists looked at each other, then they shook their heads quickly. "Nothing, sir", reply them simultaneously.

"Yes, continue your work then."

"Thank you, sir", reply to both almost simultaneously. Then they let out a sigh of relief, as it almost added to one problem.

"Other times we have to be careful" said one receptionist.

"Yes, you're right. And don't ever talk about it again."

They also agreed that they would not mention it again, anytime and anywhere.

Tok.

"Come in", cried Ferdo from inside his room.

"Excuse me, Sir. The advertising company from Mischa Advertising has come" said Tya politely.

"OKAY. Take them to the meeting room."

"Well, sir", said Tya as she stepped foot toward the door of Ferdo's room.

"Yes!" call Ferdo when Tya just opened the door.

"Yes, sir", Tya replied as he turned his back.

Ferdo hesitated to continue his words. "Hem, do you have a boyfriend?" ask Ferdo who made Tya shocked.

"You can't misunderstand me! You answer me, do you have a boyfriend?" ask Ferdo back.

"Do you know that I've just been with my girlfriend?" Tya answered by asking.

"Didn't you hear, I asked you what, huh!" Ferdo is upset that Tya is showing off that he has a new girlfriend.

"Don't you understand what I mean?"

"You have the courage to fight me!" Ferdo raised his tone, but Tya knew what Ferdo's anger was, so he dared to answer non-seriously.

Tya sighed at the attitude of the superior. "Yes, Sir. I told my dad that I was just being."

"After that, we will continue. Now prepare the meeting room."

"Well, sir", reply Tya. He came out of Ferdo's room grumbling, having been intrigued by Ferdo.

"Why is he asking about my girlfriend?" he murmured while thinking. "Ah, stop. Instead of me dizzy thinking about it, I better prepare a meeting room" he said, grabbing some files on his desk, then walking towards the meeting room.

"Bu Winda", greet Tya kindly.

"Sir Ferdo, is there?" ask Winda with an unfriendly face.

"She, Mom. But soon to the meeting room, because there are important clients.

"Oh, okay. Thank you", replied Winda with a bitter smile.

"Excuse me, ma'am", said Tya continued his steps.

Vinda also canceled her intention to meet Ferdo. He turned his body, to go back to his room.
