He reached the 5th floor emergency staircase, where he used to have lunch with Arion.
Already there is Arion waiting there, standing looking at the atmosphere outside the Office through the window.
"I'm sorry, Mas" said Sekar as he stood before Arion. "Surely we've been waiting a long time, huh?"
Arion gave a friendly smile and shook his head. The man didn't lie. He just got there not five minutes ago.
Sekar invites Arion to sit on the stairs to eat lunch brought by Sekar.
This time, the girl cooked yellow rice along with a simple side dish. While Arion brought two cold juices that he bought from the Office Canteen. The man then took his food rations and began to eat the provisions that Sekar brought.
"Mas, I just walked the file to the thirty floor. I thought, Mas Rion was there." Sekar said on the sidelines to eat it. Arion only glanced at a glance, reluctant to respond to Sekar's words. He was afraid of speaking.
"And finally, I can meet Mr. Arion, our CEO." Arion Kontan raised his head after hearing Sekar's words. The girl's eyes sparkled like a teenage girl in the middle of a kasmaran.
"It turns out he's pretty good-looking, huh? His skin was once white, his body was also towering high. Her hair is reddish brown. Ahh, not to mention the color of his eyes, hazel, is so unique. Like not a native of Indonesia, even though his name is Indonesia once." The girl continued with a small laugh.
Arion raised next to his eyebrows. Hearing the praise coming out of Sekar's mouth regarding Aiden, made the man feel very upset.
"Are you not into Local Men?" ask Arion later.
"What kind of thing?" Just ask back.
"That's like me!"
"The skin is not too white and is about 175cm tall. Having a Slanted Sweep hairstyle, it also has eyeballs as dark as night." Reply Arion without a second thought. All refer to themselves.
Just be quiet for a moment. "Kayak knows his characteristics," he murmured to himself. He then turned to Arion who was again busy with his yellow rice.
"By the way, Slanted Sweep's hairstyle, like what, Mas?"
I think Arion wants to go home right now.
...*...
After eating, Sekar was about to leave to return to work. He was already three minutes late from the designated break time.
"Later in the night I'll come to pick you up" Arion said suddenly.
"We have an appointment, right? How, I don't remember." Just stop at the end of the stairs, ready to open the door.
"Have it, I just made it." Answer Arion. "I want to take you around and have dinner." Reciprocity.
Just nodding shyly. He said goodbye and left Arion.
Arriving in the dressing room, suddenly Bu Anita, the Chief Coordinator came to Sekar.
"Strickers, can we talk?"
Hearing Bu Anita's unusual tone made Sekar nervous for a moment. What the hell's going on? Did he do anything wrong until the Chief Coordinator came to him directly?
Or perhaps, because he was late to enter after the break? Just be right! He was only late to enter not five minutes.
Questions haunted the girl's mind.
"What's up, Mom? I'm sorry, I'm five minutes late. I have to go to the toilet first." Answer lies. Now it is impossible to admit, that he just finished eating together with one of the Office Employees.
Anita put on her smile and then shook her head. "No. You're not wrong."
"Look, I just got a mandate, that from today you can only roam from the first floor to the twentieth floor only. For the rest, you are absolutely forbidden to set foot on the twenty-first floor and above, no matter what."
As he stood stiff, he tried to digest every word spoken from Bu Anita's lips.
"Why, Mom?" he asked with a surprised face mixed with sadness. "I did deliver the file for Mr. Arion on the thirty floor. It was only because no one could drive him in the break. That's why I'm the one who replaces." continued the girl.
"Yes, I know."
"Then, what's my fault, ma'am? None of the files were lost or scattered. Complete, complete." Almost almost crying. How not, he had just climbed there but immediately blacklisted.
"I've asked Mr. Aiden, his Personal Assistant. You're not wrong anything. Mr. Arion just doesn't want his employees out of the zone they should. Your job is only on those floors, so there's no need to get to the top, even if it's just helping your friend." Bu Anita tried to calm Sekar down.
"Already, don't think too much. That's how Mr. Arion is, sometimes there are random things that he does. You don't have to worry, yes" said Ms. Anita.
Just nod slowly. He doesn't know what else to say.
"Yes, you better get back to work" said Bu Anita as she passed away.
Sekar pursed his lips in annoyance. All the compliments that the girl had previously made about the CEO were destroyed instantly. He didn't want to flatter that obscure man anymore.
"Curtain! After all, who would want to go there! If there's no me, how could he possibly continue his meeting." Tukas Sekar left his locker.
...*...
Aiden cleared his throat for the umpteenth time. Honestly, he was a little nervous being stared at continuously by Arion. Upon the man's return from his lunch break, Arion unceasingly stared coldly at Aiden, as if he was preparing to tear himself apart.
Every time he is asked, Arion will answer Aiden's questions.
I don't know where the boss is this time. But if you remember, there is his behavior every time he returns from a break.
...***...
Arion gave his sweetest smile when he saw Sekar coming out of his hostel. The girl looks very beautiful even though she only wears a knee-length pink dress with no sleeves, wrapped in a jeans jacket. A small matching colored sling bag slung over his shoulder.
Arion looked at the emblem of the bag that Sekar owned. At a glance, he can confirm if the Sekar bag is a little outdated. Pseudo.
His face turned soft.
"Mas why?" ask Sekar when he sees Arion's face. "I'm ugly, huh?" he continued not to be confident. The girl twisted the tip of her jacket. He then closed the worn-out part of the bag using his hands.
Arion grabbed Sekar's hand. Forcing the girl to open her hands.
"I'm just thinking about work. There's nothing else." Answer gently.
"Really?" I try to look deeper.
Arion nodded. "Come, hurry up, it'll be crowded."
Sekar nodded. He then took the helmet hello kitty offered by Arion, then climbed on the man's motorbike. The plan, Arion will take Sekar to dinner at Jajan Kaki Lima Park, which is located a little far from there.
Arion smiled as Sekar hugged his waist. This is the sixth time they have gone together. The girl certainly did not feel awkward anymore.
...***...
I stared in amazement at the place he was heading this time. Along the way to Jajan Park, modern music flows from several cars lined up on the roadside. There are also many large groups of motors that gather at certain points.
In fact, traders are seen peddling various wares in their private cars.
"I just found out that in the City, you guys use expensive cars to trade." Sekar let out his voice.
Arion glanced at the girl through the rearview mirror of the motorcycle. "Let's go have a look, huh?"
Just nodding enthusiastically.
They arrived at the entrance of the Five-footed Jajan Park. Get off the bike and wait not far. A parking attendant approached Arion and helped him park the bike.
At first glance, the parking lot looks ambiguous. The reason, the clothes that Arion wears look very expensive and neat, but the motor–
"Here ya, Mas?" ask Arion while getting off the bike.
"Yes, Bang. Oh yes, not in standard two, Bang, so easy to shift,"
"It just so happens to be my standard two broken, Mas." Arion answered, laughing.
Arion then invited Sekar to eat at one of the seafood stores are quite crowded.
Sekar widened when looking at the price of the menu listed there. He then brought his lips closer to Arion's ears. "The name of the place is 'Five-footed Snack Park', but who came by all the cars. The food price is also expensive. Limpest Feet of City people'tuh like this, huh?"
Arion grimaced at Sekar's whisper. He doesn't know what to answer.
"Have a message, I'm hungry" Arion said.
"Mas have more money? Or are we just going this time? I brought money, too." Tell Sekar.
Arion couldn't hold himself back. The man pinched the tiny squashy nose. "I just got a bonus from the Boss, so invite you here. Just order it,"
After arguing for five minutes, Sekar finally relented. The girl reluctantly chose the cheapest menu.
"Nasi and Cah Kangkung?" Arion convinced Sekar.
"His kale price alone can make me eat three days, Mas."
Arion shook his head. Then write another additional menu. Seeing that, Sekar frowned a little. "If you can't pay Kost tomorrow, don't blame me, you know!" the girl was angry.
Arion laughing.
