The Left Behind Name

Land grab.

*In office.

Arriving at the office, Ronald who had been waiting for his arrival in front of the door of his room. "Good morning, sir, Zein?" greet Ronald. "Morning." replied Zein as he walked into his study which he had not seen for several days, because he was busy accompanying his wife in the hospital. Ronald followed him from behind with a file in his hand.

As soon as Zein sat on the chair, then leaned his back on the shoulder of the chair and twisted his body as if yearning for a bench that he had not sat on for a long time.

"Sir, here are some files that need to be reviewed about the housing development that we will build in city A. There seems to be a bit of a problem" Ronald said, thrusting a file on the table.

"That's the matter?" Hearing the word problem, he was surprised and immediately opened the contents of the file on the table.

Because almost in every housing development that has ever been on the road, never found any problems. Everything always goes according to plan.

Shit, why did he reject the file I submitted?

Inner Zein was upset, after reading, that the landowner had canceled his proposal for housing construction in city A to be built by him in the coming months.

"Ron, I can't believe the landlord dared to reject my submission...! I had even offered the highest price of the others and he agreed to it, then why suddenly cancel it? Even though the maggots are under contract, it's still strange. I feel like something's weird here." Zein bent his hands together and leaned his chin over his hand and then rested.

"I also feel there's some awkwardness here, sir. But I'm waiting for the next master's order." Ronald expressed his opinion which is also the same as Zein.

"Well, this is weird. If he had refused my offer? There are only two possibilities here, the first one is, maybe he wants to use his land for his personal development which he will somehow make? And the second, there are others who offer higher prices than me and managed to take over the land." explained Zein, trying to guess.

"I'm thinking, sir. Then what are we gonna do?" asked Ronald enthusiastically.

"In the meantime, investigate if anyone else is trying to take over the project by bidding on my offer!! If true, investigate the person behind it...!" zein's orders were firm.

"Good, sir." Hearing his master's orders, Ronald immediately went and found out who the person behind the stalled housing development project that will be built in the city of A.

I don't know why... My guess leads to him! Inner Zein tried to guess who the person behind all this was.

Meanwhile, Zein moved on from his still unclear thoughts. He grabbed some files next to his right desk for inspection.

Suddenly his phone rang a sign of an incoming message.

Zein immediately opened his phone and saw a short message from a contact that read (My dear). Well, the message was from Rania, his wife.

Rania: Dear... Today, home day or night?

Zein: Looks like I'll be home tonight. Did you miss me? Goda.

Granular: Umm... Well, slightly. Short reply.

Zein: Ohin... Little yeah? Uh... Honey, I don't think I'm going home tonight.

Zein tried to lie to his wife in order to get her attention.

Is he testing me? His words were so wishy-washy, said he was going home last night, then changed again, not going home. Inner Rania was upset.

Rania: just send annoyed emoticons.

Zein: Why frown, honey?

Again Zein teased him.

Rania: No, who's pouting. Yes already... Go home tomorrow or whenever you want. Or not going home is no problem.

Reply Rania who was getting upset.

Hmmmm... Saying kangen is really hard? Inner Zein.

Zein: Well if there's nothing to say anymore, I'll do some chores. Today I have a lot of work to do. See you tomorrow, baby. Muachs... End with a kissing emoticon.

Aishhh, what the fuck is he...? Why does the message look annoying...?

Rania throws her cell phone on the bed after reading her husband's last message that looks annoying to her. Then he put his body on the bed.

Pfft...

He finally fell asleep.

*In office.

Tok tok tok tok

There was a knock behind the door.

"Come in." replied Zein from inside the door.

Ronald opened the door and immediately went inside, he handed the file and placed it on Zein's desk.

"Sir, you might be surprised to know who is behind this project's delay" Ronald said.

Hearing the statement from Ronald, of course making him more curious, without waiting long, Zein immediately opened the file and read it.

Sure enough Ronald said, not long after reading the file, Zein's facial features changed drastically. He looked angry, seen from the gritting motion of his teeth and his eyes looked sharp, while clenching his hands on the table.

So, you really proved the word. Just do it until you feel tired and give up! Inner Zein.

Zein handed the dossier back to Ronald, saying. "Leave it, and see what it's gonna do? Let him take over the land that's nothing and not important to me."

"So, in other words. The lord will give up the land and let him snatch it from the master?" asked Ronald.

It was not usual for Zein to give up on the project he was going to do.

"Yes, let it go! We do not need to take over the land by offering a higher offer from it. If he thinks I'm going to get angry because of his mess, he's wrong. I can search and get more land for the construction of my project at a later time. But, she would never regain Rania's heart, even snatching it from me. If I serve him, he'll be happier. However, if I ignore it. That will trigger his anger. And it will make him give up slowly." explains Zein confidently.

"Well, sir." retorted Ronald while bowing his head politely.

"Ron, what about my schedule tomorrow?" ask Zein.

"Tomorrow you have a meeting with the Prime Food Group" replied Ronald.

"Alright, set all the schedules. And, please tell me some schedules for the coming week? If nothing matters, I'll cancel." Zein ordered.

"Alright, sir." replied Ronald.

Ronald leaves the room, and prepares the meeting data for the week ahead that Zein just asked for.

As soon as Ronald left the room, Zein red his phone. I hope to get a message from his wife again. Once seen, there was no message from his wife, he put his phone back on the table.

What is he doing now? Inner Zein was curious while turning her phone on the table.
