Akemi's sedan car is perfectly parked in the parking lot of her Company. The man got out of the car and walked elegantly. Cold and stiff attitude back again on the figure of Akemi. That characteristic seemed to have long been inherent in him.
That's how Akemi is, if in front of employees she will be a cold and indifferent figure. However, when she is with Shella she will be someone else. Cheerful and happy.
Many pairs of eyes that admire the figure of Akemi, the man is very charming in the eyes of every woman. The tall body, silver-eyed, muscular, pointed nose, plump eyelashes, and the man's good looks aura seemed to radiate a special allure to anyone who saw it.
Akemi is the type of man who warms up to someone she thinks is special. Even to Marina, who was his future sister-in-law. One that is hated by an Akemi, namely theatrical for a certain purpose that harms himself and his family. Akemi strongly rejects lies, and upholds honesty.

Akemi returns to office life, a building towering to dozens of floors. The building was on its tapaki for many years until it managed to maintain a good image.
Akemi fights hard for the well-being of her family and employees. Yes, Akemi never forget the historicity of every employee who makes a living through the Company he leads. It was embedded long ago. For years. When Papa Javier founded the Company with great difficulty, he never neglected the welfare of his employees. Although Papa Javier was cold, arrogant, and stubborn, he never treated anyone unfairly. And it was passed down to his daughter's son.
"Excuse me Sir, Mr. Toni wants to see you" said Akemi's secretary, Lisa.
"Alright, get him inside" Akemi said.
Shortly after Lisa came out, Mr. Toni entered Akemi's room with a piece of paper in his hand.
"This is the data that you asked for" said Mr. Toni while giving the white paper.
Akemi read every detail of the writing strung together in the paper column. Akemi nodded her head, as if she was thinking about something.
"Alright Mr. Toni, thank you for your help. You can go," said Akemi flatly.
And the middle-aged man left Akemi in an illegible state. The man seemed to be thinking of something. I don't know what it is, only he and God know.

In the cafeteria, Shella was having lunch. Time has shown at 12:30, it is time to rest, and the woman chose the canteen as her most comfortable place to rest. Because if you remain silent in the special room of the janitor, then Bu Risma will look for his mistakes to be made the tantrums of the middle-aged woman.
"Is the food good?" Ask the canteen's mother named Aminah.
"Yes Mom, good. Thank you for giving me a special discount," said Shella sincerely. Yes, Aminah's mother gave additional food to Shella as a sign of their friendship. Honestly, the beak woman felt sorry for Shella, because she was always treated unfairly by Mother Risma. Every time Ibu Aminah delivered Akemi's lunch in the man's room, Ibu Aminah always witnessed how cruel Bu Risma was to Shella.
It is still very clear in the middle-aged woman's memory, how Bu Risma doused water on Shella's face just because she was late to bring Bu Risma tea. Ms. Risma was wrathful, and splashed water on Shella's face. At that time Aminah's mother could not do anything, because her position was also the same as Shella. Only lower class employees. Doesn't have equal status to people like Risma's mother.
"How are you doing, Nak Shella?" Ask Aminah's mother next.
"Alhamdulillah good ma'am."
"Did Miss Risma treat you harshly today?" Asked the middle-aged woman curiously.
"No ma'am, he did not enter the office today" said Shella. Bu Aminah's forehead was wrinkled with questions.
"Why can?"
"I also don't know Mom, maybe she is sick" said Shella, inserting food in her mouth that was left one tablespoon.
"May she continue to be sick" muttered Aminah's mother. The middle-aged woman looked extremely annoyed when she remembered Mother Risma. Moreover, his attitude is arrogant as if he is the owner of the Company engaged in mining.
"Hus, I can't say rich. Pamali, if the Angel passes by and grants Mother's prayer, how?" Said plain shella.
"Let it go, it's a reward for someone evil" Aminah said.
"Geez Mom, that's not good Mom. Mother Panti said, we must not hold grudges against each other. Because God does not like that," said Shella, and successfully make the heart of Mother Aminah pinch. Aminah's mother was amazed at Shella. The purity and sincerity of the woman's heart was not made up. Everything is pure in the absence of certain elements.
"Fool away you son, if only I had a son, then I would not be reluctant to marry you to him" said Mother Aminah.
Aminah is a middle-aged woman who lives as a widow. He was married to a man who worked as an employee in the palm oil company on the island of Borneo. For nearly 20 years of marriage, they were not given a child. Until the woman's husband breathed his last.
Feeling devastated by her husband's departure, Aminah finally wandered into the capital and sold a traveling cake. At that time Aminah was peddling her merchandise in the middle of the road, and accidentally met Alea. Feeling compassion for Aminah's condition, Alea finally brought Aminah to their home and offered her a job as a waitress at Javier and Alea's house, but the woman refused. He only asked Alea to place herself in the cafeteria of Javier's Company. The reason is, because Aminah likes her profession as a trader. So he was the custodian of the Company's Canteen for many years.
"Thank you Mom for the food, Shella, bring this one?" Said Shella disperse the daydream of Aminah's mother. She wiped the tears in the corner of her eyes. The clear liquid had almost dripped on his cheek which was beginning to wrinkle.
"Yes, kid, take it." And Shella went to leave the mother Aminah who was still faithful to look at her until she disappeared from behind the canteen door.
"Hopefully you can find true happiness later, son. May you meet the man who keeps your honor, and does not mind your social status. And when that time comes, then I will be the first to embrace you" muttered the mother of Aminah.
Aminah's mother loved Shella very sincerely and unconditionally. Shella's innocence and kindness, exuded an aura of true beauty. Physical will be fragile when the time comes, but the beauty of the heart will never fade until the age closes.
To be continued.
