The Fate Or Destiny

Epsu 1. Better Late Than Never

Benaya Petra Manoppo, a man of Manado-Java blood, lives and grew up in Jakarta. She has completed her second education and for five years worked at a company. Finally now can reach a good position with double-digit salary, enough for the cost of living a single. The last year Benaya lived alone in a 2-room apartment unit and it was spacious enough for her, the result of her own sweat and struggle. Men at the age of 30 years arguably already quite mature and well established.

Unfortunately, Bipi, as he was called by his friends, never once was seen holding a girl. Papa's doctrine is so ingrained 'before success never dating' and it was successfully ingrained in Benaya's mind. I don't know what the reason was at that time. The turn is now forced into marriage by papa mama, the cool-looking guy is indifferent. Until now Benaya aka Ben aka Bipi at home alone, not disturbed and not affected. As a result, even though it is now fairly successful, Benaya is already comfortable with single status.

"Bi, you want to go home, right? I'm a nebeng huh?"

Sergea Ferna as soon as Benaya came out and locked the door of his room. The beautiful girl staff division this year has not given up on melulkan heart of this tall and handsome guy boss.

"Sorry, I want to go to the old man's house, distance if you go first."

The guy who rarely smiles even though he has a charming smile answered flat with no expression and immediately passed from the staff room followed by the disappointed face of Ferna. Once when there was an event outside the office he was escorted home by the boss, but only once it never repeated again, although many tricks and ways he had used. That guy is untouchable.

"Lu is still Fer's business, even though dicuekin continues..."

Milka at the table across smiled mockingly.

"Shut up!"

"Gw is not wrong ngingetin you, come on. I've known him for a long time, Fer, since the beginning in this office he never once tempted the same girl, already many times' the girl who is not taken care of..."

"One of them you yes, Mil. you still ngarep also times', so you tell me to make blush, stale tau gak..."

"Oh my goodness Fer, I've moved on time', already have a gig gw mah..." Milka answered ketus.

Benaya often heard such conversations, but she considered the past wind, not that her gender was deviant so never interested in seeing sweet creatures, but she did not think that her gender was deviant, the beautiful goddesses both pass by and try to attract her attention.

There are those who have stopped at heart, but Benaya then has a line about girls, they are too troublesome in many ways, and he is already quite bothered with his own problems. He didn't want to be burdened with other people's business, that's all. He is not interested in a close relationship that he considers to be binding. He is also less like and lazy to face a girl who is spoiled let alone depend on her. A Bipi likes ilfeel to see girls who are not independent and like to rule or ask for help when they can do it themselves.

"Bipi, bro. called boss..."

Enrico's assistant boss shouted behind Benaya before she disappeared into the iron box up and down the building.

"What's more, it's time to go home', I'm not overtime..."

"Beeping, essential..."

"Boss likes it, lazy gw..."

"There's a job for you. I've been there in, you also kali' like to be the same boss, mentang-about favorite children..."

With a grumble Benaya dragged his steps towards the boss room on the same floor, but a little far from the room. This minimalist modern concept office only consists of five floors, employees in this office are not up to three hundreds but this company has many high-class projects.

Benaya walked in with a bent face, not hiding her frustration, even though her boss smiled at her.

"Ben..."

"Yes boss..."

"You go to Manado yes, we can continue the project in a mall that moves, next week the project has begun. I want you to go there directly. Josh and 4 other staff will come with you. The facilities are all ready, the pay rises of course."

"I'm lazy to go anywhere boss, love the others..."

"Ben, you're the most qualified. After all you are original there, better know the area there, better understand the icon there..."

"Boss, I don't know the area, last visited when I was Junior High, that was about seventeen years ago..."

"Seriously? But Ben, I've decided you're leaving, job desc and your position is set. Here you are stuck, there you can develop more, and most importantly, you are the one I trust the most."

"I mean his salary is up, how many bosses?"

Benaya is still trying to see an opportunity to cancel.

"Get 35 percent plus perks and bonuses..."

"A hundred percent, I'm leaving..."

"Ben! Crazy yes...!"

Boss shouted with a face of disbelief, this one employee was different, but he was already a pity because of his work achievements and dedication to the company, a smart child and had a lot of contribution in the development of the company. Benaya one of the golden children plus valuable assets of his company. Somehow the relationship was intertwined, boss Nico always saw and treated Benaya more than any other employee, she was like a sister to this kind-hearted boss.

Benaya did not react, remained seated casually and wished the boss to cancel his assignment to Manado. He felt that there was nothing interesting there even though it was the place where his papa came from, he did not feel anything about the area even though he used a clan that directly showed his identity. He was born and raised in Jakarta and there is no sense of belonging, it just feels foreign.

If asked he felt more like a Semarang, but strange would admit Javanese but surnamed Manado. Maybe one of the papa also Benaya was not brought back, he did not want to be forced to know the land from his ancestors. Papa has since young wander but both dialects want food tastes and social environment not far from Kawanua, native yes...

One thing about the appetite Benaya inherited papa Fredrik's neck, he liked spiced food and especially spicy, all typical food Manado area ever tried including some kind of extreme . Original this, still not ngaku a Manado, ck.

Long time ago, boss Nico was shaking his head, but he had no choice, it was Benaya's final who had to go there to handle this project.

"There's a rule, Ben, it can't be changed just because of you..."

The boss's voice loosened, just like his facial muscles, it seems that the boss must agree to the requirements of his favorite child, especially the value of this project is not playful, it is impossible for anyone to handle it carelessly.

"I don't want to change that boss. Ok, go home boss..."

Benaya stood up and sauntered out of the boss room with a feeling of relief, who would want to get out of this comfort. Life is good, has not had a target to increase income in the near future, still want to enjoy this phase. And the lure of boss Nico is not capable of provoking a Benaya.

When Benaya reaches the door...

"Ok, fine, deal!!"

"Seriously!? Lila...!"

Benaya who shouted now, did not expect the boss to agree to the unreasonable terms he gave. He knows the rules of the company and he is not the type of person who likes to take advantage and take advantage. Si Ben turned around and looked at his boss with glaring eyes.

"You asked, it's my business to pay half your salary. The deal can't change."

This time the boss was firm and full of authority, and... Benaya re-emerged under the boss's decision.

Ahhe... Manado, he was forced to go there deh. but papa must be excited if you know, because papa once told him to go home to Manado and must find Manado's wife. That's also the reason why he never seriously looking for a partner, until nicknamed the dear mama man expired, it was too late for marriage. But it's never too late, actually...
