On Monday, I went back to work. He was immediately greeted by some of his close friends who were waiting in the employee break room.
"What is Mbah's state, Sekar? Have you been home from the hospital yet?" ask Lastri. The female security guard had just been transferred to the main building of the Umbara Corporation three days ago.
"It's much better. He's still in the hospital for therapy." Answer Sekar. "I'm glad you moved here!" pekikah sumringah, so knowing Lastri is now a workplace with him.
"Thank God" said Lastri, Ningsih, and Dimas in unison.
"Later to rest with us, huh, Sekar? A lot of exciting happenings during your vacation, you know!" sahut Ningsih was full of enthusiasm, which was immediately approved by the others.
Sekar kontan grimacing. He is going to have lunch with Arion. Understandably, they had not met for several days.
...***...
A loud applause filled the office hall. They've just done an experimental presentation of the Earlene project.
Thanks to Abiyan who was willing to stay up last night, the Earlene project can be completed in less than three months. The launch of the car can even be done next week. No need to wait until the end of the month, as expected.
All praised Abiyan's diligence in working on the big project, including Arion.
The man repeatedly thanked his future brother-in-law for helping complete a project that almost failed due to cracking the other day. Although Abiyan's behavior and work reputation are bad, Arion still has to be professional. If it is good, then it will say so, and vice versa.
"Thank you for all your hard work. Next week is our last fight. Prepare yourself and don't forget to rest." On the big stage, Arion bent his body deeply, as a form of respect and appreciation from himself for all members of the Earlene team.
Seeing their leader willing to do this, Danu and others suddenly did the same thing. While bending over, Danu once again wiped away her tears. This is not the man's dream, but the dream of his beloved wife, Earlene, for a long time.
"You did it, baby," muttered Danu after raising his head. The man's eyes stared at a large screen of virtual robot Earlene, which was plastered just behind Arion.
Arion beckoned all of them to come closer. They held hands before cheering and hugging. After that, Arion resigned himself first.
"Sir, this project is too soon to be completed. Don't you want to check it out again?" ask Aiden, as soon as they get to Arion's study.
"I knew. Therefore, tonight we will return here" replied Arion. "Please, make me a cup of warm ginger." Keep the guy.
"Good, sir." Aiden nodded and immediately made the drink that Arion asked for.
Drrt .. drrt ...
A short message came into his phone.
π© Sekar yang
Is it in the office? We had lunch together. I just got into work today. Sorry, I didn't tell you first, because I wanted to surprise you. You must be surprised, right? hehe
Looking at the message Sekar sent, the man was aghast. Because he was too busy taking care of the project, he forgot his intention to talk to Anita, about Sekar's leave which will be extended until the end of the month. Not yet he met Anita, Sekar had hunted in.
"How is this?" muttered Arion while pacing. Aiden who was stirring the ginger, scrunched up the confusion.
"What's up, sir?" tanyakanya.
"I forgot about the holidays!" arion panicked. "The Earlene project will be broadcast live next week on almost all television stations. You know, my face will be plastered there!" continued.
Arion looked frustrated. Though he had anticipated everything so that Sekar did not see himself perform, including about to call the hospital to turn off the cable television server for a full day.
"You might be able to force him on leave." Aiden tried to help the man by giving an audible proposal.
Arion snickered cynically. He also knew that Sekar had to be forced. But he was right, how stubborn the girl was.
For now, it is better that he avoid Sekar first, in order to clear his head.
...***...
Sekar. His intention to meet with Arion ran aground, once he learned that the man was out of the office with their CEO.
"Well, I can have lunch with the others!" sahut Sekar shrugged his shoulders. They can meet at home.
BRUK!
"Awuu!" too busy paying attention to his phone, Sekar to not pay attention to the road and hit someone. A few piles of maps that the person was holding immediately fell scattered on the floor. (Ningsih is on holiday, so Sekar can be free to bring his phone.)
Sekar immediately gathered and picked up the maps without seeing the face of the person he hit.
THE DUGH!
"Awuu!" in a hurry to pick up the map, his forehead even hit the victim's forehead.
As if hypnotized, Abiyan was dumbstruck on the spot. His eyes were busy recording every inch of Sekar's face.
"Beautiful!" inner Abiyan.
He only realized one thing, that Sekar looks very beautiful, even if only wearing simple makeup.
Abiyan immediately regained his senses as Sekar stood up first. The girl handed him a pile of maps.
"It seems like our meeting always starts with an incident" Abiyan said, smiling in a knot.
Screaming grimacing. What Abiyan said was true. What else in every incident, always himself who became the maker of the act.
"A long time ago we didn't meet." Abiyan took a deeper look at the girl's face, especially on her thin merry lips.
"How are you, Mas?" ask Sekar manners.
"good. You you?" Abiyan asked back.
"I'm good too." Answer Sekar.
Abiyan stared at a box that Sekar was carrying around. "Where are you going?" ask again.
"I wanted to have lunch in an ordinary place, but it turned out that my friend could not come. So, I intend to have lunch with my other friends." Explain it honestly.
"Then can I replace your friend?"
...***...
Just opened his box awkwardly. Abiyan stared at the food that Sekar brought with him.
"Thank you" Abiyan said, taking a spoonful of rice and side dishes.
For some reason, this time Sekar's cooking really feels good on Abiyan's tongue. Enthusiastically, the man emphasized the part of Arion that Sekar made with all his heart.
The sound of a small laugh interrupted Abiyan's meal. Sekar was laughing. He who was originally awkward and upset apparently could not help but laugh, when he saw how to eat Abiyan.
"Why laugh?" abiyan asked with a mouth full of food
"Mas, how many days have you eaten?"
Hearing the question, Abiyan hurriedly swallowed her food and laughed in embarrassment. He then scratched the back of his head that was not itchy. "Sorry,"
Sekar waved his hand in front of Abiyan. "It's okay. I'm just happy to see people eating my food greedily."
"Your food is as good as that" Abiyan said honestly.
"Thank you," I blushed in embarrassment. The annoyance of failing to meet Arion was slightly treated by the presence of Abiyan.
