The clock was at 6am, when Sekar came out of his room. Because he chatted all night with the bude on the phone, he had to sleep late at night.
As fast as lightning Sekar ran towards the highway to find public transportation. Although only once on public transport, still he can be late if the vehicle has to ngetem in order to get more passengers.
Thankfully a public transport with almost full passenger capacity stopped right in front of Sekar. Let him sit at the door as long as it is not too late.
...***...
There was only silence accompanying Arion's trip to the office. He was busy tinkering with his tablet to check some of the work of the employees.
"My schedule?" the man asked Aiden, who was sitting next to Lucas, his personal driver.
"This morning, you will meet Mr. George's in the office. In the afternoon, you will discuss the results of the presentation that team 5 did yesterday, followed by a meeting with team 9 and team 12." Aiden gave a brief explanation.
"OK, kala–"
BRAAK!
The car suddenly stopped. Arion could have crashed into the front seat, if not wearing a seatbelt.
"What's wrong?" ask Arion annoyed.
"Sorry sir, the public transport in front stopped suddenly. I'm going out to check on him" Lucas said as he exited the car.
"Mr is okay?" ask Aiden to worry. The man observed Arion's body to make sure he was okay.
"Yes, it's okay." Arion looks at Lucas who seems to be scolding the 50-year-old public transport driver.
"Tell Lucas not to prolong the problem. That man and I were both making a living. These kinds of storms will only hinder me and also hinder him!" arion said firmly.
"Good, sir." Aiden got out of the car and approached Lucas. He patted Lucas twice on the shoulder and spoke to him.
Before long, the father was seen bending his body while saying thank you many times. He also bowed his body right in front of the car, right towards Arion. Arion nodded his head.
Lucas and Aiden then get back in the car. "I'm sorry for my attitude, sir" Lucas said.
"It's okay. How is the public transport car?" instead of thinking about the state of the car, Arion instead worried about the father's vehicle. Because he knows, the father must definitely pay compensation if something happens to the vehicle he brought.
"It's okay, sir. Our car just scratched the light."
Arion nodded and told Lucas to run his car again.
Sekar and several other passengers were also grateful, when the driver's father was allowed to leave without compensation. Though clearly the luxury car was scuffed after accidentally nudging the transport car that stopped suddenly.
"There are rarely such kind-hearted rich people as them" one passenger commented. Just agree. He is optimistic, Jakarta is not as terrible as he heard.
...***...
Just get off the public transport and run into the office building complex. The foot of the ladder should reach the main building Umbara within five minutes.
The girl ran non-stop until she reached the front of the Office lobby. Sekar set his breath first, before running back inside.
"Morning, sir," several employees appear to nod their heads as they greet their leaders.
Arion replied to their friendly greeting. He even stopped to talk briefly with some employees he knew.
DUUGH!
From the back, someone suddenly hit Arion's arm hard, making himself stagger.
Arion curses, while the girl swiftly turns to face him. Without looking at Arion's face, he bowed deeply to apologize.
"I'm sorry! Please, forgive me!" it ranted a few times before running back to leave Arion just like that.
Arion was stunned for a moment. "What the fuck is he?" angryness.
Several employees approached Arion to inquire about his condition, including Aiden.
"Do I need to find out who that girl is? His face is not familiar. Maybe he's a new employee."
"You're happy to extend a small problem like Lucas. Already, let it go." Arion does not heed Aiden's offer.
Arrive in the employee locker room. Anita, the head coordinator of the office girl there, immediately lectured Sekar on his delay on the first day of work. Fortunately the woman was willing to forgive, although he firmly warned Sekar not to repeat it again.
...***...
Estiana, Secretary Arion in the office immediately stood up from the chair when she saw it coming. The beautiful woman took some files and followed Arion into the room.
"Sir, Mr. George asked you to immediately agree to the agreement of the cooperation contract he submitted. He said he wouldn't come until you signed these files." Estiana placed several stacks of maps on Arion's desk.
Arion sat down and pinched his forehead. Just arrived, his head was made dizzy instead of playing.
Mr. George is the CEO of one of the most well-known entertainment agencies. He asked for cooperation to make a smart phone with the characteristics of one of his proud artists, Nathanael. Arion doesn't mind that. The time set by Mr. George makes Arion have to think carefully to sign the Contract.
Hey, the people are not Bandung Bondowoso who can build a temple just overnight!
"Leave it first," said Arion. "make me some warm tea."
...***...
The sekar pecked himself in front of a mirror, which he placed in his locker. The girl's face looked bright. Although only working as an office girl, but for her it is a very proud thing. Moreover, he could earn a steady income now.
Not wanting to linger, Sekar then out of his resting place to start working. "Come, Sekar!" excited though.
...***...
Talk with Mr. George walked long and hard. However, the agreement they want each has been reached. Arion breathed a sigh of relief, because he could finally melt the stubbornness of the person.
"Nearly at lunch. Want to order some food or get out?" aiden asked as soon as he entered the room.
"My head is pining. Let me be alone for a moment!" Arion stood up from his seat. He was about to get out of the room while bagging a box of cigarettes.
Seeing that Aiden immediately restrained Arion. "Sir, you are strictly prohibited from smoking."
"Don't start a fight with me. A cigarette won't just make me die!" Arion said coldly. He threw Aiden's hand rough.
Arion enters the elevator. He went down to the 5th floor. After arriving at the 5th floor, Arion then walked to the emergency stairs on the floor. It was a place he used to go alone if he was struggling. Because for him, the view outside the room feels most appropriate when viewed from the floor.
Arion started lighting his cigarette and enjoyed every puff of smoke he let out. No one knows his bad habits except Aiden. He didn't want people to lecture him like Aiden did, just because he had asthma.
...***...
"File queue for Mr. Faith, Production section, on the 3rd floor. Then take the results of the proposal Bu Indah on the 4th floor, then photocopy the file map green once, all pages." He took a good look at all the messages he received in his head. Although tired of having to run around here and there since, Sekar remains excited.
The elevator door on the 7th floor is open. He and several employees jostled in.
The alert alarm immediately sounded as soon as Sekar entered. Elevator doors cannot be closed because the load exceeds the capacity it should have.
Everyone looked at Sekar who was standing clumsy in the front row. The self-conscious sekar finally got out of the elevator.
The girl sighed. Not wanting to waste time, he chose to go down the emergency stairs. After all, going down won't be much of a drain.
"Huh!" Arrive on the 6th floor quickly. He ran down the stairs to the 5th floor. The girl should get to the 4th floor as soon as possible.
Sekar suddenly stopped when he found a man sitting in the middle of the 5th floor stairs, holding his chest. The man's face looked like he was enduring the pain.
Slowly approached the man. "Sir, Mas, Bang, what's wrong?" tanyanya's worried.
The man took his breath with great difficulty. "In–inhaler–ku," he said stammering.
"Huh?" Seated next to the man, trying to hear more clearly the words coming out of his mouth.
"In–ha–lerku!" the man said again, pointing at the stairs below them. He followed the direction pointed by him.
Right on the 4th floor staircase the girl saw a small gray object, shaped like a piece of pipe. His eyes squinted to see more clearly what was meant by the handsome man with brown neutrals.
Sekar Kontan's eyes widened when he found out that what the man meant was an asthma inhaler. "Oh God!" pekik surprised.
"Wait a minute, Mom!" without waiting for a long time, Sekar immediately ran down to the 4th floor and went back up to the place where the man who already looked deathly pale.
He also helped her use the inhaler. He even voluntarily made his thighs a cushion on the man's head.
After feeling better, Arion woke up from his sleeping position which was above Sekar's thigh. "Thank you" he said sincerely.
"Either. Are you really okay?" tanya Sekar made sure.
"Yes, as you can see," replied Arion smiling.
"Thank God!" Fresh breathing relieved. "Look at you alone here, thankfully there's me, try it if you don't!" he continued while screeching restrained.
"What do you do at work like this? You're not afraid of being fired, are you? I heard our CEO was firm and fierce, you know. So do not let Masnya get in trouble," Sekar spoke with a facial expression like a person who was scaring a child.
Arion raised next to his eyebrows. "You're of**the new girl?" asked Arion when he saw Sekar's work uniform.
"Yes, this is my first day at work." Answer Sekar confidently.
"fast."
"You work here, but don't know the face of our CEO?" ask Arion again.
She laughed grimly while shaking her head. Arion kontan laughs amusedly. The man then looked at Sekar from top to bottom.
He remembered that Sekar was the girl who carried the suitcase.
"Whose real name? If I, Sekar," Sekar extended his hand before Arion.
Arion received Sekar's hand. "Rion" he answered briefly.
"Yes Mas Rion, I'm in a hurry! Next time be careful? Goodbye!" without waiting for Arion's reply, Sekar immediately left him.
Arion again laughed amusedly given Sekar's innocence.
It seemed, he had to meet the girl again.
