With Basmallah in my heart I started to draw closer to Mc officially at tonight's show. A grown man, who might be about ten years of age with me.
He stretched out his hand and I welcomed his position.
"Michael" said he
"Beautiful" I replied.
"We first briefed two minutes behind the mbak" he asked
I followed his footsteps backwards a little.
While the invited guests who have been present only pay attention to us. The CEO also had a conversation with two colleagues sitting next to him.
"Here it is written English, actually I just read it, and the translation is also there. But if Mbak Indah is willing, we can change or take turn"
"How about we take turns, mas who open my English language is translatekan, continue me who speak English, then mas translatekan, how?
"Okay, deal" he answered
"Okay, we can start our event?" ask her again while raising her eyebrows
"Of course" I answered for sure.
We both walk together. We talked about it, so Michael walked over holding my hand and let go when we were standing in the middle of the podium.
"Okay, apologize me for a little problem" he said
"Well, I'm sorry for that little bit of trouble" I said, deciphering Michael's words.
"Good evening, everyone. Thank you so much for being here. Let me begin by giving you a warm welcome to the event this evening"
"Good night, everybody. Thank you for being here. Let me warmly welcome you to tonight's event"
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Michael, and I would be your emcee today. And beautiful woman besides me is Indah, she came from Lubuklinggau, branch office of Bengkulu" Michael's voice was so loud and his pronunciation intonation was very good. It looks very if he is an MC who already has high flight hours.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Michael, and I'm going to be the host of the show today, and the beautiful woman (i smile a little when the denominator of the word "beautiful woman" next to me is Beautiful, she comes from Lubuklinggau, she said, bengkulu branch office" I said the word name looking at the text in my hand.
"Okay ladies and gentleman, as a emcee this evening, we would like to read the agenda of the event Meet And Great of CEO SALAM GROUP and the Head of Branch Sesumatra, said, which was held in the beautiful city of Pekanbaru.
" All right, everyone, as MCs at tonight's event, we will read the agenda of the meeting and great CEO of SALAM GROUP and the Head of the regional branch, which was held in the beautiful city of Pekanbaru"
"On this special event, we have severe agenda as followers: the first opening, second speech from the governor of Pekanbaru, and next the third speech of CEO of SALAM GROUP, next, next, fourth praying and then the last is closing" I said and again-song without seeing the text.
I don't know why I was so confident when I was so nervous I almost fell. Is it possible because there is support from Ariadi bang and Alam sir?, ah I don't know, I don't know myself.
Of course, right now I feel very proud to be in front of the number one richest conglomerate in Indonesia.
"In this special event, there is an agenda that is: first the opening, second the speech of the Governor of Pekanbaru, then the third speech from the CEO of SALAM GROUP, then the fourth prayer and the last closing"
""Wow, it seems like my partner is more eloquent than me, please give aplause for her, give her a round of applause" Michael praised me.
All those in the ballroom clapped, not least Bang Ari whom I saw sitting in the corner of the room.
I cupped my hands together in front of my chest as everyone present clapped for me. I was embarrassed and proud.
Without Indah knowing, since coming down from the podium delivering Indah earlier, Ariadi just kept looking at him with admiration.
"Okey, that is all the severe agenda this evening, so without reducing our respect to Mr. Sudarmono Salam as a CEO OF SALAM GROUP, let we start our event evening to say Basmallah" this time Michael spoke and I interpreted it
"Well that's our series of events tonight, without compromising our respect for Mr. Sudarmono Salam as CEO of SALAM GROUP, let's open the event at night by saying Basmallah.. *Bismilbornrahmanirrahiim"
"The second agenda is speech from the honorable of governor of Riau, to Mr. H. Muhammad Rusli Zainal, please welcome and please, give aplause for him*" this time I read the text in my hand, because I do not know what the name of the Governor of Riau is today.
"The second event is a greeting from the honorable governor of Riau, to Mr. H. Muhammad Rusli Zainal welcome and please give a standing ovation to him"
As the Governor stood up, the room came back boisterous with applause.
After the mic in Michael's hand was handed over to the governor, we both retreated to the back stage, we sat in the chair that had been provided.
Michael praised my confidence when he knew that this was the time
first I became a mc in a very big way like now.
"I salute you, even if it's your first time, but you're confident"
"Thank you sir" I replied
then we went back to discussing about the core event that the CEO will deliver directly after this, I focused on listening to the direction from Michael until I was shocked when there was a voice of people beating right beside me.
I immediately looked up and looked up. Bang Ariadi had been standing beside me with his eyes focused on looking ahead without looking at me.
But I'm sure, his goal to the back stage is definitely to see me. I immediately stood right beside him, and our position was like a thumb and forefinger so high he was
She immediately turned her head and displayed her beautiful smile that was capable of making my heart beat fast. What the hell is this? curse me every time my chest doesn't matter if I look at him.
"Don't be nervous, I'm sure you can rule this room. Let's just say this room is your class and those in front of you are your students" he said
The deg!! he knows I'm a teacher? know where, my heart.
I just nodded and looked back at him.
"Thank you for your help, I don't know how I would have been if I had fallen, my face would have been as red as boiled shrimp" I said
Ariadi's brother immediately crouched down in front of me then looked up. Just so sudden this action made me shocked, as well as Michael, he stared in wonder at what Ariadi did.
"Can his legs stick out a little? doorways
I scrunched my forehead a confused sign
"Come" she asked
I immediately complied with his request by sticking out my right leg.
Beyond my expectations, bang Ariadi immediately fixed the zipper of my shoes that came down. Rabb, I am not aware of this. Is it possible that I forgot to raise the zipper huh? thought
"Other times be careful" he said, then stood up and smiled warmly at me and left us without me even having time to thank him.
"Your husband is Ndah?" ask Michael
"Not sir" I replied as I sat back in the chair
"Well, continues?"
"I don't know either" I replied confusedly
"Well, I can" he said
I lift my shoulder.
Apparently the governor was about to end his speech, Michael and I stood up and went back to the podium. The applause still echoed as the governor descended and walked up to the CEO and hugged and shook hands.
After the applause subsided then the event we continued.
"The third agenda is speech from the honorable of CEO OF SALAM GROUP, Mr. Sudarmono Salam, please welcome and please, give applause for him and all of audience please stand for a moment "the voice of Michael made the present clap very boisterous and immediately stand up. It seems they already understand if the CEO is going to make a speech, they have to stand all.
The CEO stepped up gallantly. Of course with his six body guards escort. After the ceo pack stood in front of the mic that was specially provided for him, the six bodyguards retreated and continued in their standby position.
I was amazed to see it. "That's what it's good to be rich" I thought
"What dream can we have with the conglomerate" whispered Michael as we returned to the backstage.
I nodded in agreement, but I could not help but look at him from my seat. My mind guessed as much as what money was. hahaha. Because my husband once said that in a day more than 1M of the company's income.
The length of the speech ceo. Not an official word especially about work. But he praised the entire branch head of the same community which at that time numbered 50 branch heads. His words that touched me so much were
"I am nothing without my wife, my wife from zero until I am at this point always with me. True the saying goes, behind the success of a husband, there is the role of a great wife, thank you my dear wife, I Love you more ever after" His right hand immediately stretched out toward a woman sitting below who looked smiling. A very beautiful woman and very graceful and elegant.
A round of applause came as he ended his speech. The six body guards immediately moved and walked beside and behind him providing security.
After the prayer and closing, the event is finally over. With gratitude I and Mr. Michael shook hands warmly.
"Thank you for your help Lovely"
"Me too sir, thank you for your attention and your guides" I replied with sparkling eyes.
"I hope someday we will met again" he continued
"So do I, Insha Alloh" I replied.
Then we shook hands and parted. I went down the stairs carefully and returned our original shirt. While the other guests have many who stand and go to the buffet that has been provided by the hotel.
Ms. Suryati hugged me right away when I arrived in front of her.
"It was Ariadi's son Ndah who saved you when he almost fell" he whispered right in my ear
"Yes ma'am" I replied equally softly.
We take each other off hugs. Then my husband hugged me and kissed the top of my head many times.
"You're great, baby, I'm proud of you" she said, stroking the back of my hand.
I smiled at his chest. Afdal snickered at the sweet treatment of his boss.
And who was no less staring intently at the moment was a pair of eyes that looked from a distance while snorting in annoyance.
