The hot afternoon did not dampen the intention of Zafira, Kiya, and Syfa to take a walk to the Mall to spend their weekends. Although they live in the same apartment but because of their busyness makes them rarely spend time to walk together. While carrying some of their groceries.
After they finished watching the horror movie, they got hungry. They decided to go to one of the eating places. But accidentally there was a man who hit him to make his groceries fall. The man also helped clean up the fallen items.
"sorry. I didn't accidentally." while handing over the last item.
When I see who he hit. The man was shocked. It turned out that the one he hit was the woman who had helped his grandmother.
"you" said the man.
Zafira himself did not expect if it turned out that the one who hit him was the man.
"again, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it" said the man.
Kiya and Syfa who saw the man's face were almost in disbelief. How similar he is to Almeer.
"Sister. Also sought from earlier. What a habit." sounded the voice of the woman who was nagging the man from behind.
"loh.. Zafira, Kiya and... You guys here too?" said the woman.
"Nadira. Oh yeah know this Syfa my best friend too. I didn't think we'd meet here" Zafira said.
"hi I'm Nadira. His office mates Zafira and Kiya" Nadira said as she reached out.
"Shyfa. It's nice to meet you" Syfa said, returning Nadira's handshake.
"oh yeah know my cousin. Brother El. You know them, my office mates" Nadira said, introducing the man.
El stretched out his hand to get acquainted. But neither Zafira, Kiya nor Syfa shook his hand. They cupped their hands together in the chest. And the man pulled back his hand.
"I'm Zafira" said Zafira
"I'm Kiya" Kiya said
"I'm Syfa" Syfa said.
"This Zafira was Nolong Granny at that time" said El.
"So Zafira who has not howled Grandma. Thank you very much Fira for nolongin my Grandma. Grandma always told me about you. I didn't think that what helped Nenenk at that time was you. Grandma said you really want to eat at home" said Nadira
"Either. God willing if there's a chance" Zafira said.
"Should. Later on your mother's birthday must come. I'm against you guys specifically" said Nadira a little pressured
"God willing" said the three of them.
"oh, Abis, where are you going?" ask Nadira.
"we want to eat" Kiya said
"we can't come?. I'm also laper. Can ya?" said Nadira
"It's no problem. Can it be Syf, ra?" kiya said
"yes I can" said syfa.
They decided to eat together at a restaurant. Throughout the meal with Nadira, Kiya and Syfa actively spoke. Zafira and El were quiet listeners.
This time, Zafira felt like she was near Almeer. But in fact he is a different person. Zafira tried hard to suppress the longing that was burning in his heart. Especially when looking at the face of a person similar to Almeer.
Quietly El kept watching Zafira. He looked as if something had happened to the woman. Silence, but holding something back. He was obviously reluctant to look at her. What's really going on with him. Why did he not look at El. El kept wondering. There seems to be something I would love to know about this woman.
Strangely after the five years of his fiancee's departure. El who never cared and cared for women. Now there is something interesting about this woman. So he wanted to find out everything about this woman. He was determined to find his own information.
Syfa who secretly noticed every move Zafira growled also understood if his best friend was uncomfortable at this time. Being at a table with El made him think back to Almeer. Let alone Zafira himself feel if the one in front of him at this time is Almeer's ex-husband Zafira.
They separated after lunch. Nadira with El went to their destination. And Zafira, Syfa, kiya back to their apartment. Along the way Zafira just kept quiet. Syfa and kiya who understood Fira's feelings this time chose to let Fira calm her own heart. However, Fira has to work on her own and harder to control her feelings. It's time Zafira tried to move on from Almeer.
Employees who are busy with their jobs. Distracted focus when hearing the news from the speaker who asked for all employees to gather in the meeting hall room. All employees of more than 500 people gathered.
A moderator came up on stage. Redirect employee attention.
"Good day everyone. Today, I was asked as a moderator to tell important news. And do not wait long I call Mr. Ali Ramadhan to go up on stage" said the moderator.
And this was the last time He could stand in this place as their Chief Director. This is a farewell to him. Only Anis knows about this. Anis himself saw Ali up there trying his hardest not to cry.
While Nadira is confused what is there so that everyone is gathered. I was confused as to why Ali was standing there. There's actually something important about what everyone wants to announce. Why doesn't he know anything?.
I don't know why Nadira feels bad. Worry and restlessness. Butwhy?. Nadira saw everyone like they didn't know anything.
But when Nadira looked towards Anis. He saw Anis's sad gaze. Trying to hold back the crying. He wondered if Anis knew what Ali was going to talk about?. When Nadira wanted to approach Anis, Ali suddenly started talking.
"good afternoon everyone. Best wishes to all of us. Thank you for coming to this place. There are a lot of things that I will tell you at our meeting this time. Maybe you're all wondering what important things you'll be told until you're gathered here" Ali said
Paused. Makes everyone more curious.
"I want to say thank you all. For your dedication to your royalty in this company. This company wouldn't be like this without all of your hard work. So do you guys. It wouldn't be like this if the company didn't grow. We are both in a symbiotic relationship. Hopefully this can continue to go forward" Ali said again
"Today I'm going to announce something important. Today I'm Ali Ramadhan officially resigning from the position of President Director of this company" said Ali could finally announce the important halbp.
This shocked all employees. Although Ali is known as a firm boss. But he is very Royal. I like to help employees. Likes to provide input, motivation, teach and provide big bonuses for those who excel. This makes the employees sad and lost.
"I'm sorry if as long as I'm in office much wrong. And it often makes you depressed, and often makes you cry because of my scolding. Not infrequently I make you guys work rods. Apart from all that. I want you to stay committed and keep trying to move this company forward. Because I'm sure this company will help you support your family." Ali stopped for a moment.
Seeing not a few of his employees crying made Ali feel heavy leaving his post. Similarly with Nadira his feelings become erratic. He wanted to be angry, upset sad and felt like crying. But he tried to hold it.
"And this time I will also introduce you to my successor. Your new boss. I ask the honourable, Father. Elmeer shah Gulztaf to go up to the podium stand beside me" said Ali.
Hearing his name called El go up on stage. Standing next to Ali. Nadira was surprised it turns out El who replaced Ali. But why doesn't he know anything about this. And why did no one tell him.
The same goes for Zafira and Kiya. They are both shocked when they find out who will be the boss in the office is El. Nadira's older cousin has a face similar to Almeer's. If this is the more likely they are to meet. And it's just as hard for Zafira to forget Almeer.
"Good day everyone. Greetings. I'm Elmeer. Just call me El. I was sent by your big boss the CEO and largest shareholder of this company to replace Mr. Ali as President Director. All of this is not due to Pak Ali's poor performance. But it is precisely because of him that this company stands ever more advanced" said Elmeer.
"I'm here solely to ease Mr. Ali's performance. Because now he is given a new mandate to build a new company in the beginning by our big boss. Like Mr. Ali who managed to advance this CSIS company" said El.
" I'm sure Mr. Ali will make his new company grow even forward like this company. Let us support and encourage Mr. Ali, hopefully Mr. Ali succeeds with his new company" said Elmeer trying to give reasons for Ali's resignation.
"Thank you Mr. El. I'm sure Mr. El will continue my struggle and make this company much more advanced. I ask all of you to be able to work well with Mr. El to make this company more advanced. The more advanced this company, the company will also provide welfare for your family better" said Ali.
"And one more you don't have to worry. Actually, Mr. Ali is not really quitting this company. Later, Mr. Ali will visit our company because he is also the owner of 30% of the company's shares. Automatically he will also participate in every decision of this company" said El.
"Next I will leave it to Mr. El. Maybe there are some things he will say. Once again I'm sorry. And I hope you can work well together under His leadership. And once again congratulations Mr. El. I hope you can carry this trust. I'm pampering. Peace be upon you . Assalamualaikum warohmatullahi wabarokattu."
Ali came off the stage. Ali went back into his room. And tidied up some of his personal belongings that he would carry. There was no heavy feeling at all in him leaving this room. Because He knows this room is actually not his. someday the Brother who will fill this place just biding his time.
Nadira went into Ali's room without knocking on the door first. His feelings are no longer unstoppable. I want him to scold Ali for what happened.
"What does this mean?. Why did you make such a big decision but no one told you about me?" nadira said with emotion
Ali just smiled. Without giving any answer. This made Nadira even more upset
"Jawab Sister !. What do you think I am?. Is that not important, my opinion until you feel it is not important to involve Me in any decision?" nadira asked.
"Angrily already?. You ask this with Brother Zein he knows everything. You should also be happy that you can be free and in spite of my rules and distractions. Is this what you asked for?. You're free now" said Ali, still tidying up his little things.
Nadira was confused because what Ali said was true. He always wanted to be free from all the rules of Ali. Why does it feel so heavy this time.
Anis went inside after knocking on the door earlier.
"How, has your flight ticket been booked?" ask Ali to Anis.
This made Nadira even more confused.
"sister already. Even Brother Zein has provided a place to stay for Brother while there. Brother Zein has prepared all the needs of Brother during there, and the plane will fly at 3 this afternoon. I still have 3 hours" Anis said.
Actually Anis is also heavy because again and again she will be separated by her sisters. But he knows every decision Zein made was the best for them.
" thank you. You take good care of yourself. If there's anything call brother. My big brother yes. There are some things you have to do before you leave" Ali told Anis.
Nadira is still waiting for Ali's explanation. But this time Ali did not intend to explain.
"I'm saying goodbye. Take good care of yourself" Ali told Nadira
And then Ali left.
