"Yes, I would go back to my room first."(Nando's voice immediately moved from in front of Rendi)


"Why did you go back to your room?"(Asked Rendi with an indecipherable face)


"Just take the HP mas."((Said Nando slightly putting on a sour face)


"Yes, we're back here, we're leaving in 10 minutes because it's quite far from here."((Rendi Say)


Speaking of Rendi not in the room by Nando, he immediately ran to his room to pick up his cellphone that had been in Cas.


"Have the boys so, heemmmm"(Murm Rendi while throwing a rough breath)


When Nando was back in front of him they immediately departed with his Pajero sports car.


Nando carried with great caution out of fear of being scolded by Rendi.


After traveling 1 hour pretty far thought , finally they arrived at the destination.


It appears that Om Herman is already there with his secretary, and the client who will work with him, looks like there is a woman next to him because of the sitting position that turns his back on Rendi,so it doesn't look so obvious.


Rendi came to them who were at the table, how surprised she was to see the couple who were in front of her.


But he tried to professionally face it.


"Include me Rendi Al-Farizki representative of the coal mining company "Mega Gold Group". And this is Nando Syahreza my personal secretary."(Rendi said as she reached out her hand, and introduced Nando)


"I'm Azis loyal to the leader of the Bramana Company & this is my lover Desti Maharani"(Azis's Speech stuck out his hand and introduced Desti as his lover)


"Ehmmm, it's good to know each other now we eat first yes,"(Say Om Herman)

"Son Azis, when did she get married to her boyfriend?"( Ask Herman)


" Ehhhmm, now there is no Plan Sir, maybe it will not be long"(Speak Azis with a smile sumringah)


"Have you been in a relationship for a long time?"(Now Randy asked)


"It's been a long time, when I was in college was still the 2nd semester Mr. Rendi, right, baby?"(Azis said then nudged her lover who had just been silent and put on a clumsy smile)


"Great dong ya long enough, mending cepet in halalin mas rather than over time ha.ha.ha.."((Laughter of falsity from Rendi)


"Yes Mr. Rendi later I will immediately halalin this girlfriend of mine"(Azis said proudly)


They ended the dinner.

Rendi is very familiar with the face of the man who slept with his lover at that time, uh wrong maxut her ex-lover.


Although at that time Rendi was emotional but she remembered her face.


Both of them are currently in the car .


When he was about to run the car, Rendi suddenly called him.

"I'm sorry, walk now what will it be?"(Ask Nando )


"Tomorrow Nando.!Move now!"(Jerking Rendi, he's really frustrated )


Nando immediately runs his car and heads to Rendi's house .
