Sun Orange

Chapter 9 Riding the Department

Heavy rain from the morning.The air is usually hot and stuffy, so it is cooler.Rika is preparing to leave for the office.Usually He walks, so, but because of the rain He planned to ride a taxi online.Just He opened HP to call a taxi via the application, a car stopped near the gate.He knows, it's Mr. Tanu's car, it's a car, Rika ran small towards the car and directly opened the door,

" Thank you very much sir", he said with a smile.

" If it rains like this usually taxi online is also difficult Rik, so I stopped by to pick you up" Mr. Tanu said calmly "Eh, which Susi ?" He realized that Susi was not in the car.

" Susi's on leave sir, his father's sick in the village"

" Oh.." , Mr. Tanu stared at Rika at a glance, "Rika, will go home to work yuk"

Rika was speechless, He seemed to think.Although he had been familiar with Mr. Tanu for a long time but still felt bad if he had to go together.If you want to refuse his invitation is also more unpleasant.Pak Tanu is very good.

" It's not until night, we just eat at the Mall" persuaded Mr. Tanu.Finally Rika nodded.Pak Tanu looked very happy and relieved.

They arrive at the office, Mr. Tanu stops in front of the lobby and tells Rika to get off.He himself runs his car back to the parking lot.

Arriving in his study Rika began her activities as usual.Seeing reports, preparing files and receiving calls.

" Rika.." in the middle of his busy life, Ms. Mela called out.

" Yes Miss ..?" Rika stopped her job.

" Sit here..." Ma'am Mela pointed at the chair in front of her.Wow, seriously, what is this?, the feeling I did not do wrong, Rika's mind.but He chose silence and nodded obediently.

" There's something I want to say" Ma Mela sighed, her countenance turned sad.Rika grew curious, looked at her boss, He did not dare to guess what Ms. Mela would say, Ms. Mela was still silent, seemingly trying to gather strength before continuing her words.

" Mother's husband will be assigned abroad, he is promoted to manage his company's branch office there.....I. I'll go with him." Rika is stunned.What ? Miss Mela is going abroad?!! Meaning It...

" Yes, I want to resign" said Ms. Mela quickly .

Rika is sad, very sad.During this Ms Mela who guides and directs him.Then if He no longer exists what is his fate?.

" Who will replace you?" Rika's tears were already dripping softly on her cheeks.

" I've spoken to Mr. Who will replace me.He agrees you will rise in my place"

Rika jumped in shock, almost falling out of her chair.Mata looked at Ms. Mela in disbelief.

" Yes, you are Rika.." calmly Ms. Mela replied "I know your abilities.You are honest, thorough, disciplined and intelligent.Especially with your young age, but you are very young, I'm sure you'll be even better than me"

Rika was still glued to her place.Is that really what she heard? The feeling is mixed not because.Antara sad to be left by Ms. Mela, nervous about the new position she will receive, he said, and the fear of not being able to work well according to the expectations of Ms. Mela.He only realized lately that Ms. Mela gave many important tasks to him.His wife little by little He educated Rika to bear the responsibility the bigger one.

****

In the afternoon after work, Mr. Tanu waited at the receptionist.Sufficiently long he waited, until finally Rika out of the elevator door.

" I'm sorry sir, long wait huh?"

" Aren't you busy, Rik?"

" No, there are only a few things that must be resolved earlier" Rika replied.He did not want to discuss his conversation with Ms. Mela last afternoon.

Rika nodded. Mr. Tanu is very considerate.Because they both walk to the parking lot not far, but Mr. Tanu knows Rika must have achieved, so he chose to pick Rika up in the lobby.

Mall in question was not far, not up to half an hour the car they were riding arrived at the destination.Mallnya large, but rather quiet, because it is a working day.Usually if the weekend visitors are crowded.

Mr. Tanu invites to his subscription steak restaurant.Rika according to just walk casually beside him.Good also I take a walk, let not think about the promotion plan that makes the job nervous, he thought.

" It's delicious here Rik steak" Tanu said and ordered some menus, "What do you want to order?"

" Same sir" replied Rika short.

They ate voraciously after the order came.Rika was hungry, earlier He did not have time to eat lunch.Corrupted feelings made him lazy out.

" What are you hungry for? " Pak Tanu turned his head towards Rika's empty plate.Rika laughed.

" Hungry and moody" he replied lightly while laughing.They laughed together.

Visitors to the restaurant were also quiet, so they felt at home sitting there finished eating.Only 3 tables filled.The rest were empty .The table closest to them, a father father, then next to him a little often to the right there are two girls , and the next table at the end looked a woman and a man.It looks like they are a couple because it looks very friendly.The woman seemed to be feeding food to the man who was with her.Rika like she had seen the woman, but where is it?.

Ah. that's right.that's called Ms. Mela by the call of Non Cristy, the future wife of the Director.!!!

Afraid of being mistaken, Rika whispered to Mr. Tanu.

" Sir ..see the table at the end, isn't that Non Cristy?" Mr. Tanu followed Rika's gaze.Then he nodded.

" Yes that's Non Cristy, Madam's brother"

Mr. Tanu knows Non Cristy as a sister Madam, she does not know that she is the future wife of the Director.Indeed who knows this is only Miss Mela and Rika.Director still keeps the relationship secret.Maybe later if it is officially announced to all employees.

" Yuk sir .."

Rika invites Mr. Tanu out of the restaurant.He does not want Non Ctristy to recognize them as his employee Director.

They walked around the Mall for a while.

When passing through the jewelry store, Mr. Tanu stopped his steps.He took Rika's hand to enter the store.Rika was amazed.A lot of jewelry on display in the storefront, there is a diamond-eyed ring, there is a diamond ring, there are also precious stones or pearls.There are also bracelets, necklaces, gold safety pins.Pak Tanu told the salesperson to take a pearl ring, then hand it to Rika.

" Try on...."

Rika nodded and tried.The size fits on her ring finger.

" My mother took this" said Mr. Tanu at the salesperson, then he walked to the cashier.Rika quickly moved, before Mr. Tanu issued his Credit card to pay , He first put money in his wallet and handed it to the cashier.

Mr. Tanu looked at him in protest, but he did not want to fuss at the cashier, finally He chose to give up, Rika who paid for the ring he bought.

In the car on the way home Mr. Tanu was silent, seemed very angry.Never did he behave so.Rika so bad.

" I'm sorry sir, I know Mr. Tanu is angry, but I have not been able to accept Mr. Tanu's gift..." Rika said gently trying to calm down.Pak Tanu was still silent, well how is this if he was really angry.However he once guided his training time first.Many knowledge is taught especially for children who just graduated like.Ah sudalah , the important thing is that I apologize, Rika.

Arriving in the room Rika immediately took a bath and slept, today she was really tired, both physical and mental.Many surprising events occur simultaneously in a day.Rika did not want to think, Rika did not want to think, but she did not want to, better sleep and tomorrow morning can wake up fresh and clear mind.
