Concentration ...... concentration ...... concentration !!!!. Haidar whipped himself violently fencing his mind which began to move to escape. He went through the sheets before him, tracing one by one every word that was written. Pairing three words in three languages at once, comparing them and looking for possible loopholes that could result in errors.
" Do not trust anyone easily. The key to a businessman's defense is vigilance ".
That is what his father often said. And now he has to really apply to this type of work. Not caring about how the dislike impression shown by the two men who were sitting a little agitated in front of him.
I'm the boss, he told himself. Haidar also began to cling to his power. Until he reached the last sentence, he closed the three bundles together. Then stared intently at the two people sitting quietly waiting before him.
" I'm a new person in this business. But that's what makes me more thorough than anyone. Especially with the reputation of this company before.the slump is so striking before the acquisition and also sorry, rumors as a shell company. So .... I ask, do not mess around ... as with the previous one ".
This time Haidar spoke the line slowly, using fluent international language in a dignified tone. Of course, making two men who may only be a few years apart on it slightly reduces the bias of his dislike.
" I won't ask for a second time, but. Please ... tomorrow afternoon, I hope to have the reality. Don't cover up anything. Even though maybe ... you are involved in the ugliness. At least honesty and a desire to improve myself. That's what makes me consider you both ".
Those two people are the planning manager and the financial manager. The faces of the two suddenly became excited, like a bright-looking mayapada due to the cold fog. The long words of a Haidar that they initially underestimated, and also the mastery of the language of this man, was able to quickly dispel doubts and disparagement from both. It turns out they were mistaken.
" r. Haidar .. forgive us in advance. We understand what you mean "the blond planning manager with a pair of blue eyeballs smiled and reached out to Haidar. " Mister can call me Jhon .. and I'm on your side ".
" I am also Mr. Haidar", follow the other man. The face with a thin sideburn that makes a macho impression also presents an optimistic smile. " Oh yeah, call me Stan... Stanislav "lt ".
" Ha. ha. ha. ha. alright, Mr. Stan, Mr. Jhon ", Haidar seems to have returned to his friendly fashion. He took turns shaking the hands of the two men. Jhon and Stanislav are gray-haired.
" More tomorrow morning Mr. Haidar .. tomorrow morning you will get it ", promise Jhon before closing the door and leaving behind the pensive Haidar alone.
The first task he shouldered this time, was quite heavy. Even if you're the son of the emperor, don't expect to get a lot of extra facilities. A personal assistant for example. pfiiiuuuh'. That's not the style of a father named Great Mandala Arsenio. Haidar threw himself on the back of the sofa. It was as if intending to take off all that heavy burden for a moment.
" Confid, you'll find it over time. They ... grow with your work ethic, not arise because the factor requires ".
And all that advice is like a flashback plastered back. He began to meet reality, one after another exactly as his father often said.
In the past, maybe he did not understand or even could not catch what his father meant. But in the last two months, he has really begun to find the meaning of all the things that the man often said with his sharp eyes.
It's only been four nights in the country, but Haidar has had to run a marathon. Running, chasing the target that has been detailed in mapping and its own schedule. The most he must immediately achieve is, building the trust and confidence of the employees in this place. Of course in his way and style a Haidar. Oh no. ... not one hundred percent like that. He duplicated his father's cool style a lot. It's okay, because at the end of this week there is one thing that must be pursued immediately, not to be missed.
It all starts from a piece of Apfelstudel and Bienenstich or sweet cake made from vanilla cream, almonds and honey as a coating on it. Both are desserts served at dinner at the family residence of his cousin's sister. More precisely is the story he managed to take, about the maker of two sweet dessert cakes that night.
" I think this is a special occasion, the edition welcomes me... yes mba ? ", Haidar's fishing line.
" Tauuuk' aja lo ". Sabrina remains busy serving her two teenage twin daughters. While his eldest son, whose name is the same as the father, looks more enthusiastic about discussing autumn Olympic events with his father.
" Kan' mba Sa' anti-cooking complicated like this" Haidar grinned and replied to the brother's sneer. " Pesen where is this? bakery is famous for ".
" Uhmm .. wrong. It's made by Indonesians ".
Yups ... feed it.
" Now really ?. Don't-don't have an apple strudel store in Malang huh ? ", Haidar's match again.
" Nonah .. ngaco' ah ", Sabrina laughed.
" His name is Brother Hanin ... is it right ? ", the Celine twins who look more tomboyish but very cute it interrupts, he speaks with a stammering Indonesian and at the end of the sentence reassures himself by asking for his mother's opinion. Sabrina answered him with a nod that was then accompanied by a thumbs up.
" He. ", this time Celia spoke up. " ...schon und nett.. ah.. beautiful and .. good. Is it true, mother ? ".
" Printer's... ", Sabrina again gave her thumbs up, this time for the calmer and sweeter Celia.
" Gut im Kochen... pinter .. cook", continued Celia with a satisfied smile.
Haidar smiled as well, if his nephews were satisfied with speaking their mother tongue, he felt quite satisfied with the information that had been obtained. But then his ears caught something very surprising, where disappointment and hope were crammed into each other.
" Brother Hanin .... where?, where is the cake ... which person ? ". Celia asked still stammeringly. But for Haidar ... it was like a hammer-hit clapper.
" Oh .. He can't come tonight, baby. There's urgent interest this afternoon, maybe into the night. That's why Brother Hanin delivered this delicious desert this afternoon ".
" Yeah .. ", and the compact choir was draped from the two cute lips of Celia and Celine who were pouting.
" Eits .. but next weekend brother Hanin promised to come for our cooking show ... ".
" Hurras... Vat...". The twins were cheering and cheering for each other five. Suddenly their faces became so happy.
" Schwester Hanin will herkommen, Bund ? Bedeutet der Kochkurs.ist geoffnet", The eldest Rama was eventually interested. He asked and joked, "Sister Hanin wants to come, Bund ?. Means cooking class in the book again dong .... ".
Not to mention the mother replied, her two twin sisters had glared at the teenager. Rama chuckled, he realized his mistake.
" I'm sorry .. it has to be Indonesian ", he said with a chuckle.
But the atmosphere had already become boisterous by the voice of the twins who demanded punishment for his eldest brother. While the eldest named Rama Putra Buana Mahardika was chuckling happily and still trying to kink. Making his two twin sisters, Celine Putri Pertiwi Mahardika and Celia Putri Pertiwi Mahardika squeal with annoyance.
" Already .. already.don't make a fuss ", Sabrina's lerai.
" Let it be .. that's a sign they're healthy moms ... ".
" Ah ... mas, no noise what ? . Already not children anymore, but their behavior .. ish. mas's right overindulge them ". Sabrina grumbled because Arya the husband actually seemed to enjoy the atmosphere.
" You .. will miss this kind of fanfare. In a moment ... Just wait ". Arya stroked his wife's arm gently. " I've often missed their cries as babies ... ".
" Why not just add one or two more ? ", now Haidar interrupts.
" Don't be a provocateur of 'Haid .. Next year I'm forty-two ".
" If Allah wills .... what is impossible, dear ? ".
So softly did Arya treat Sabrina, that was what a Haidar caught. The simple man who actually came from a family of scientists in Nusantara. He is very able to handle the nature and attitude of his wife. Making a Sabrina who is basically a spoiled person, can bend the knee unconditionally when the husband has slightly stroked her.
Haidar smiled faintly, he also felt how the couple's affection. His heart, which had been disappointed, now felt like it was at the end of winter. As the snow began to melt, the sun began to shine warmly and cultivate millions of hopes.
.......................
Haidar had just closed the call from Keanu, after nearly twenty minutes of the two conversing. Although the pair of legs that make it towering one hundred and eighty-four centimeters has made it have a long enough step, but he still runs. Occasionally glanced at the clock that was beating elegantly circularly on his wrist.
" Let me drive to Heidelberg Train station, have you booked the ticket ? ".
" This was just done, Mr. Stan ", he replied to Stanislav who had begun to control the steering wheel of his car.
" If you don't order in advance, it will usually be very inconvenient, sir. This is Friday.. weekend ".
" Yes.this is first class. Price... wouuw.", a pair of eyes Haidar buyak when looking at the nominal that must be spent for a first-class trip by train if disbanded about one million two hundred thousand. " Nearly doubled. But it's okay, the important thing is I can get to Berlin ".
" Free WiFi and bed facilities..for a trip of five hours more, it seems quite worth it ". He said it again as if to comfort himself.
" Don't forget to book a ticket to return later. Well .... just one more turn we've reached Heidelberg Station ".
" Thank God it's you, Mr. The stan. Thank you very much ... ".
" Ha. ha. ha. ha. ha. whatever it is, for a boss and sorry .. a friend like you .. I'd be happy to give you help, as much as I can of course ".
" Thanks brother .... ". Haidar patted Stanislav's shoulder showing he did not mind the friendship offered by the man.
With a little running after exchanging a virtual ticket that had not been obtained for long, Haidar finally managed to sit comfortably in a first-class car, air-conditioned with beautiful scenery facilities along the Rhine river with verdant hills, green, and free Wi-Fi, of course. The price that he thinks is quite expensive, it is indeed worth the elegance of the facilities obtained.
When his phone fluttered asking for attention .....
" Hello. assalamualaikum bang Key' .. ", half a joke.
" Wa'alaikumsalam bro' Men's. Already 'OTW ? ".
" This just leaned back in the chair ".
" O... ride the train? a bus? ".
" absolute ... Trains. But muahaaaal.... ".
" Young.ha.. ", Keanu giggling. " A Haidar complained of being expensive.. Then what about me ? ".
" You don't have to go far let alone take the train. Uh. bang Key', but you have to come here .. The loss if you go to Germany just berlin doang ".
" Yes. yes... yes... eh' mo' ask, Saturday afternoon.... will I be invited ? ", this time it sounds pretty.
" So doooong..you're not introduced to the trio yahoo yet' ".
" He. he. he. kost... ordinary child .. find free food. You know laaaah... ".
" Big Porsions . special for you ".
" Oukay mister Haid'. I must have come ", the crisp voice of Keanu greeted him.
" See you bang 'Key ...".
" One request ... Key only...do not use bang, please. My cousin is like ... ****** ".
" Okay. okay. Ah not good .. keep bang Key .. ha.ha.ha... ".
" Haiiidd !!!! ", and Keanu's voice sounded shrill in Haidar's ear who was still laughing.
While the train that Haidar boarded had started to accelerate with momentum that was devoted to him himself. Unhindered, down the long electric rail panels of up to six hundred and twenty kilometers. Keep timeliness to stay in the five-hour range of seventeen minutes, bringing people mostly home to see their families. Just like a young man who is still struggling with his laptop.
Haidar as if never tired, keep re-opening sheet after sheet of electronics containing the work that was forced to finish in haste. Picking sentence by sentence, juxtaposing with cookie-shaped diagram pieces sometimes also colorful bars. Often he had to close his eyes for a while to dig up memory when there was a term in the business world that he himself hesitated to interpret. In the end, he will ask for help from the 'mbah in a universe search page. Hi. hi. hi. hi.. cymungud sir doctor.
A pair of elderly couples stared at him many times, then whispered to each other. It seemed that the woman was praising the good looks of the stranger they had just observed. And reply selorohan the husband who considered his good looks long ago, certainly comparable to the young man. Then the two chuckled happily at each other, taking turns in warm hugs. While Haidar youth they made the topic of conversation, completely unaware and remained engrossed in his own world.
And the high-speed train continued to run, splitting the fog at the end of the rainy season that went down the hill of Konigstuhl and stroking gently the air along the river Neckar. Leaving the old city of Heidelberg on condition of romanticism. Carrying the heart of a man throbbing erratically, concluding a smile as he imagined the adoration of his heart.
...........
Are we not all fighters ?
Whatever we are trying to get in our hands...
It would definitely be a core of energy capable of stirring reason.
I let go a little bit, though,
You are beautiful, away from the dream
Until I finally realized,
Stupid !!! .. You haven't even done anything.
Maybe I was too scared to be sick and disappointed.
But I'm not a coward
If now I return to make you the axis of my heart .....
That's because I have indeed tied this feeling to you.
Me .... is just a man chasing his heart.
