“Niel, you like my nephew huh?” ask Radian at lunch.
“Iya, Andi and Rita, good kids!” answer Daniel
“That's not what I mean, you have a heart like Rita?” Radian probing
“No sir!”
“Do not be afraid of Niel, to be honest if you really like. Rita is pretty, right?” radian Fishing
Daniel was silent, he was not lured by Radian's question.
“Oh yes Niel, next week there is a wedding invitation PT.Exact, you are the one who attended ya?”
“I sir?”
“Iya you only! I have business that day so can't come”
“Hmm..the invitation is for two people Pak?”
“Iya, later Rita will accompany you huh?”
“Rita? Is he not too young sir?”
“That can be arranged, the important thing is that you just prepare the accommodation, oh yes rent a limousine Niel”
“Limosin?”
“PT.Exact is our biggest client, do not be embarrassed if you come only bring SUV”
“Good sir!”
“You're sure there's no feeling for my niece, Niel?” Curious radian
“Why sir Radian ask like that?”
“I think you paid more attention to him”
“Kan, is it Radian sir who asked me to educate him? I must reach for his heart first before educating him”
“Hmm..grab his heart?”
“Yes, how will he obey if his heart is not I touch”
“So yeah? so just a task?”
“Yes, more or less so” replied Daniel in a convincing tone of voice
“Alright, I was a bit suspicious, yesterday you went all the way to my house just to drive her. Though I just asked you to give him a guide, uh you came.”
“I'm kind of a doubt they'll understand my direction sir, let alone the way to the Radian pack's house is almost similar. If I share lock, it's the same I have to come right?”
“Iya is also yes, but Rita is good at cooking. I compare teriyaki he made with teriyaki resto my subscription wah, they lost far.”
“Iya sir, let alone his rice. I've come to think of how he made it”
“Think of rice what person makes it Niel?”
“Yes, both. Cocktail rice can't be if no one makes it, right?”
At other times, Radian notices Daniel's movements, who seems happy when Rita is with them.
“You sure Niel no more feelings on Rita?” ask the Radian again
“I consider him a sister sir!” said Daniel
“So yes?”
“Sorry sir Radian is there anything you want to tell me about Rita?” daniel asked curiously because Radian often asked him the same thing.
“Hmm...none..only...”.
“Why pack?”
“I heard Mr. Sugiyono will match him with his friend's grandson, a yacht entrepreneur who successfully expanded Dubai”
“What does Mr Darmawan approve of the matchmaking sir?”
“To my knowledge, Om Darmawan was very obedient to Mr. Sugiyono, even though they are former besan but already like brother and sister”
“What about Rita? Does he know he's getting set up?”
“Now, I'll take you paradigling to the mountain, all of you approaching prospective clients”
“Consider client?”
“Yes, he still has a relative relationship with the British royal, almost all projects can be obtained. If we partner with him would be much better, right?”
Daniel did not listen to Radian's words, his mind was only fixed on Rita's matchmaking.
“Pak, did Rita already know about the matchmaking?” ask again
“I don't know Niel, you can ask her directly”
“Didn't Mr Radian ask?” Daniel's a little urgent
“ Why Niel? You said there was no feeling for her? Why interested in the match?”
“Maybe I am a little interested in him, a little!”
“Slightly free?” ask Radian, getting curious
“Rita is only 17 years old, very young. I just want to keep it”
“If you just want to keep it does not need Niel, Rita mastered martial arts are very capable. I heard Mr. Sugiyono once wanted to register him as a police officer, but he refused”
Daniel is getting curious, he turns his brain to find out about the matchmaking.
“iya anyway, but she remains a woman”
“Nah!!! You already consider her a Niel woman! So you have more feelings for him” suddenly Radian claps his hand. Daniel was confused by the reaction of the Radian who seemed pleased.
“Why does the Radian pack look interested?”
“Hah? I'm not always curious about you, Niel!”
“I sir?”
“Yes, since you know until now you are like a robot. I thought I was the stiffest, but it turns out that there are stiffer than ku”
“I Sir?” Daniel was somewhat offended by Radian's last words
“It turns out you taste your woman pretty good too Niel! I tell you yes, if you are serious about Rita, you have to save from now or at least find a side job”
“Eh why sir?”
“Rita does seem simple because it is big in a village with Reza who is not rich but you need to know Mr. Sugiyono does not let his grandson suffer. He saved his life in the village. He never experienced a shortage in his life.”
“Again if you become them surely you will not release your favorite grandson to mediocre people right?” say Radian again
“I include ordinary people sir?” ask Daniel
“I mean, you know that Rita's two grandfathers were wealthy businessmen. If Om Darmawan may still be able to accept that his son-in-law's prospective grandchildren are ordinary people or not descendants of rich people as long as that person has the potential to be rich. But Mr. Sugiyono another story, he is very loud. According to him, his daughter-in-law's granddaughter should be able to give her granddaughter many things like she had given her granddaughter.”
“But what if for example we love each other even though I am not rich?”
“Weight Niel! That will be a problem for you later too. You know, Reza, Rita's father is now marrying Ratna out of love. Reza from a simple family, Ratna did not mind it. But over time Reza faltered, he could not stand the surroundings that consider him hitchhiking live on his wife. People's rant, finally tear down their marriage that has been running 9 years”
Daniel listened to Radian's story seriously.
“At last they got divorced?” ask Daniel
“Yes, they're divorced. I knew Ratna would give up everything so Reza wouldn't leave her, but Reza gave up. Ratna once told me that Reza couldn't afford to be depressed living with her.”
“And Rita chose to stay with her father?”
“Iya, according to me without Rita, Reza will have trouble living.”
“Does Rita still have contact with her father after finding out that Reza is not her real father?”
“I don't follow Niel's next story, you can ask Rita” directly
“According to Mr Radian, does Rita like me?”
“I don't know Niel, it's been a long time I wasn't involved with romance”
“I think, Rita noticed me. Many times he gave me his lunch stock”
“Iya also pak” Daniel looks a little disappointed.
“Oh yes Niel, yesterday Om Darmawan inquired about your education. He said it would be a pity if you only worked as my assistant. So from now on you will often send me to submit a Dar.Co project proposal. If the project succeeds in penetrating in addition to salary you will also get a commission that amounts to several times your salary which is now”
“Pak Radian entrust project proposal to me?” ask Daniel happy
“Iya Niel, I and Om Darmawan agree you have qualified managerial skills”
“What can I pack?”
“You must be able to Niel, maybe this is outside your comfort zone and you must live if you want your life to change”
“Can I think about it sir?”
“You were thinking too much of Niel, no wonder Saveetri left you!”
“Eh, Mr Radian know Saveetri?”
“Sure!, I heard other things before recruiting people. And I don't think you're fast enough that Saveetri's taken people"
Daniel is silent, he does not expect Radian to pay attention to his past story
“Alright sir, I consider this a challenge for me!”
“Good Niel, oh yes.because only you have known about me for a long time, if you are not busy with the proposal project you remain my assistant huh?”
“Hmm...good sir!” Daniel does not mind this because by becoming Radian's assistant he will remain close to Rita.
Returning from the mountain and knowing from Radian that Rita has survived Daniel is very relieved. Prayers answered. He once prayed while trapped on a mountain for the safety of himself and Rita. He also promised himself that if he and Rita survived the mountain, he would become a convert. Since then he began to study Islam.
“Niel!” Radian called him into his room
“Ya Sir?
“From now on Rita no longer works here” said Radian
“Eh why sir?” ask Daniel
“Om Darmawan forbid it, he knows I took him to the mountain. I was punished to be the sponsor of the Sugiyono-Darmawan” family match
“Sponsor? Meaning?”
“The Sugiyono family has a tradition of racing its grandchildren, well this year the race was held in Auckland. It seems that Mr. Sugiyono approached Rita. He wants to introduce Rita to his future fiancee”
“Eh? What is the race like, sir?”
“I don't know either, it seems like there is martial because Rita became the champion last year”
Daniel was so worried about the match, he couldn't sleep all night.
“Ah, can not see you again at the office, now he has to meet with his prospective fiancee” grumbled Daniel. He is increasingly agitated, fearing that Rita is interested in his future fiancee. Because he could not sleep, Daniel finally decided to study the example of a proposal project that he would handle. He was so serious that he did not realize that the day changed in the morning. At lunchtime he does not eat in the cafeteria, but in the room that used to be occupied by Rita. While eating he studied the project proposal until he did not feel sleep in the room.
“Pak Daniel!” reprimand Victor secretary sir Radian
“Huh? Ah?” Daniel was shocked because he fell asleep on the table with the proposal as his pillow
“What's Vic?”
“It's time to go home sir!”
“Oh yes? thank ye. I can't sleep thinking about this proposal” Daniel said
“Oh yes Mr. Radian said that Mr. Daniel is ready to present the project proposal tomorrow at the leadership meeting”
“Besok yes? all right, thanks Vic!” Daniel yawned, and then cleaned up the files he brought including his lunch box and he went back to his apartment.
Arriving at the apartment, he opened his empty fridge, only milk and butter. He decided to order from a nearby restaurant before long.
“Ting keg!”
“Shortly!” Daniel opens the door to his apartment, shocked to see the man delivering him food
“katsudon, ramen and tteokbokki yes sir?” said the introduction
“Rita?”
“Eh?”
Daniel rubbed his eyes, apparently the food deliveryman whom a woman saw like Rita.
“Sorry, well thank you” he tipped the introduction, after eating he went to the coin laundry place to wash his clothes. Before putting dirty clothes in the washing machine he checked his pockets. He finds Rita's green earphones that he accidentally keeps.
“Hmm..the battery is up” after the laundry he charge the battery of the green earphone, after it is charged he uses it to listen to the song while preparing his project proposal.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the meeting of the top officials of Dar.Co, after hearing some proposals came Daniel's turn, he used the green earphones to be his encouragement.
“Pak Daniel, your turn!” call the female staff who let Daniel in.
“If this project is a goal, it means we match Rit!” daniel said to the earphone while putting it in his bag.
Of the several proposals presented, Daniel's proposal was one of the approved forums, so he was sent to submit it to their clients.
“Good Niel! I thought you were talented!”
“Thank you sir! Oh yes, when is the Sugiyono family match sir?” ask Daniel
“Three more days, you want to come see Niel?”
“Sure sir!, I was curious about the match it”
“Me too, I also invited Lucas and his nephew. They are looking forward to that match”
Three days later, the day Daniel waited. I can't wait to see Rita again. He is very excited when presenting project proposals to clients. He wanted to finish his task immediately and went to see Rita. After his task was completed, he contacted Radian.
“Niel, I've been at Om Darmawan's house, with Lucas and Edward. You just come straight here. Soon the show starts”
“Soon sir!” Daniel ran to call a taxi and went to Darmawan's house. He was very amazed by the grandeur of a more suitable house called a palace. He got to understand why Radian said the amazing ‘’ thing to him.
“Happy day!” hello Daniel
“Goodday, anything we can help you with?”
“I'm Daniel, his assistant sir Radian.”
“Oh yes, Mr. Radian has ordered. Please you get on that golf cart that will take you to the racecourse”, said the house staff
Daniel and the housekeeping staff boarded a golf cart and arrived at the racecourse which was located quite far from the mansion.
The sound of cheers rang out, Daniel astonished many spectators who saw the match.
“Where is the audience from?” ask Daniel to the housekeeping staff
“That's the staff who work in the big house sir, also the staff that Pak Sugiyono brought from Jakarta” he replied
“Oh!” Daniel looks for Radian's seat and finds him.
“Siang Sir!” sapana
“Niel! Remember Edward, Simon and Lucas?”
“Hello!” Daniel greeted the three men kindly
“Daniel! how are you?” greetings Simon
“So long time no see ya?” Lucas greeted Daniel kindly.
Voice operator announces the match participants,
“Rita competes Niel!” radian said, he pointed to the large screen board. Rita put on her racing clothes, and waved at the cheering spectators. Daniel smiled happily at the woman he had long missed.
“Rita is really cool huh?” edward was amazed
“He's happy racing too?” ask Lucas
“This go-kart race is the first for him”, Radian said.
The supporters of Rita shouted giving her some encouragement.
“EH, Daniel? Why collect here?” inwardly, he had lost concentration to fall from the ring.
“Sial!!” he said, the staff helped go kartnya back to the track, he continued the game and managed to occupy third place.
