Sincere Love Former Office Girl

"I miss you too,"

Arion was aghast upon hearing Aiden's explanation on the phone regarding Sekar's dismissal today. In fact, he did not agree to that at all. The man stood up from his big chair, making the chair slam back, then rushed to the basement.

In his mind, Arion was guessing who had signed the termination letter of Sekar's employment contract.

"Rion's? Where are you going?" daniel asked as he passed Arion who was in a hurry in the office hallway.

Arion did not heed Daniel's question. He kept running and entered the elevator towards the basement. Arriving in the basement, he met Aiden who was waiting for him there.

"Where is he?" ask Arion. His breath was hunting.

"You're five minutes late, sir. Miss Sekar is out of the basement with her friend." Aiden's unsatisfactory answer, makes Arion run back to the basement exit. And sure enough, Sekar is nowhere. He was late to hold it.

Aiden ran after Arion. "Sir" he said, holding the boss's shoulder. There was a tinge of worry coming out of the assistant's mouth, when Arion's breath was wheezing. Aiden reached into the man's suit pocket and took out his inhaler.

After feeling better, Aiden led the boss back into the room. Arion could have collapsed at any time, if he had not held it.

"Who fired Sekar?" arion asked coldly, when they were already inside the elevator.

"I've contacted Anita's mother. He received the letter from HRD, and you signed it." Answer Aiden.

One name appeared in Arion's mind upon hearing Aiden's reply. Who else, if not Daniel? Only the man can imitate his signature. And vice versa.

...***...

Rani and Sekar have just arrived home. The girl put her luggage in Rani's room, before going into the bathroom to wash herself.

Rani herself came home because she wanted to accompany Sekar. He could not leave the girl alone. Affairs are scolded for not permitting first, can be later, which is important Sekar not slumped alone.

After the shower, Rani orders fast food through the app. He refused when asked to eat outside.

"Ar, until you get a new job, I want you to stay here with me and Egi. Please, don't be stubborn!" Rani hurriedly added her last sentence, before Sekar refuted.

"I ... want to go home first, Ran," said Sekar Lirih. "Take it's my day off, before I start working again." Reciprocity.

Rani nodded. This time he could not forbid the will of Sekar. He clearly understood the decision. Because what Sekar really needs right now is the presence of his family.

"It's okay if it's your decision. Tell me when you're coming home. I'll tell the others." Rani rubs gently the skinny arm of Sekar.

"I'm sorry, Ar. I can't help you at all." Rani wiped away her tears that had suddenly flowed.

"Who said? It is precisely you who have helped me a lot, Ran. Thank you very much" said Sekar. She shuffled up to Rani and hugged her tightly.

...***...

BRAAAK!

Arion opened Daniel's door. The man walked full of emotion towards his older cousin who had just finished making a drink.

"What's up to slamming my door, bro?" ask Daniel. He put his drink on the guest table.

"You're the one who signed the termination letter of Sekar's employment contract, aren't you?" ask Arion without further ado.

"No. You know, I don't have the authority to do that." Daniel was surprised.

"You think I'm that bad?" Daniel takes off Arion's rough hand. The man's right hand signaled Noah to stay still.

"I fired that OG girl!" Antonio, one of the largest shareholders of Umbara Corporation, entered Daniel's room, accompanied by two of his personal assistants.

The man of French-Indonesian blood walked over to Arion and Daniel who were struggling.

"The week we've been given is over, and you've given absolutely no answer. And so, we took a step." Antonio looked at Arion sharply.

"I just found out, the shareholders of the company who usually set policies for the management and supervision of the company, also contributed to this business" said Arion sarcastically.

"That's because you're being indecisive, Arion. If we don't see your performance, you've been demoted from the CEO's seat! Remember, we have full authority over that!" answer Antonio loudly.

"In that case, I'll leave here!" sahut Arion really. There was no doubt implied from his face.

"Rion!"

"Sir!" Daniel and Aiden react almost simultaneously.

Antonio laughed a little. "Don't just be a girl, you're willing to lay down your office and hand over everything your father's painstakingly built to them."

Arion. What Antonio said was completely true. Although the man agreed to Sekar's dismissal, he was still one of the people who had always been by his side.

"Now focus on your work. Get your image back clean from that cheap scandal. And show us all that you still deserve to occupy that great seat." After saying so, Antonio and two of his assistants left Daniel's room.

The man was sitting limp on the floor. His face now looks very pale. Daniel clutched Arion's shoulder to give his spirit.

"I'm sorry" said Daniel. Guilt also gnawed at him, because he did not find a solution to the problem of his sister.

...***...

The time had already shown at midnight, but Sekar was unable to close his eyes at all. Accompanied by a light of sleeping lights, the girl stared at the line of names on her phone screen. Sekar could not deny, a feeling of longing present filled the recesses of his heart.

In the past, when Arion was out of town, the man would call him every night, to ask him about his daily life. And Sekar will always tell about the days he has passed. But now, he can't do it anymore. Sekar realized, that now he had to go through all this alone, without Arion.

A tear fell on his sleeping pillow, as Sekar read line after line the short message that Arion sent. From the first time they exchanged messages, until the last moment, Sekar never deleted them.

I miss you, though,

Tears were increasingly flowing, as the line of words that Arion sent read by him. I rubbed the sentence gently while whispering softly. "A**I also missed you**,"

...***...

Early who had just finished from the bathroom, immediately stopped his steps, as soon as he saw Arion's workspace in a brightly lit state. The girl was surprised to find Arion asleep there when he went inside to turn off the lights.

Dini stepped slowly towards Arion's room opposite her, then returned to the study room with a thick blanket. With a careful movement, Dini enveloped Arion and cleaned up all the files on the table, including the phone that was in the man's grasp.

Accidentally, Dini saw a photo clearly displayed on the screen of Arion's phone.

"I never knew that loving someone could be this complicated." His eyes looked at his brother worried.
