The Long Way to Be a CEO

Destinies

A few minutes ago, Rania and Stefan were having a serious conversation about what they were talking about, hopefully not getting into a fight.

I am still busy with Rania's son who is now getting bored because of the long wait for his mother.

"Oh my god, taking care of a child is a hassle" I thought, puzzled by what to do to comfort Dea.

Shortly Indira entered the cafe room with someone I also knew some time ago.

"I'm sorry sha, I'm late." said Indira apologizing to me with a look of regret.

" a.. You two better off?" I was a little distrustful of the two people who were still standing looking at me.

"What the hell is sha.. We are fine koq" replied Indira and looked at each other with finna.

"Is this your son?" finna asked me when she saw a girl sitting next to me.

"Know, this is Dea, he's my daughter. My friend has a little business, so his son is with me". Said explained.

They also get acquainted with Dea who had been silent now so familiar with Finna and Indira. Thank goodness someone else could talk to Dea. Maybe because both women can be more familiar.

A wide variety of drinks and snacks are available filling the longest table in this room that I deliberately ordered before gathering. Today is special, not only met my friends there is also Indira who has now made up with Finna, my life is truly blessed to be filled with happiness that I can not express it. I'm happy today.

Before long Stefan greeted us who then followed Rania behind him. Looks a little damp in his eyes, but he still forced himself to say hello and get acquainted with my girlfriend and her friend.

"Aw.. Finna, what a coincidence". Stefan said to Finna, it turns out they already know each other, we all became surprised, whether Stefan was playing crazy with this woman.

"Thank you, Miss Finna, we're thrilled that our company is working with Mom's company" she said, and they both shook hands.

"We're not in a meeting. You can just call Finna" she chimed in on Stefan's overly polite remarks and made a little awkward about it.

Stefan and Finna explain that their company is working together on a project that has been going on for 7 months. And stefan met with Finna several times for the meeting agenda. A very unexpected meeting, and it turns out they are business partners.

........

The conversation is getting lively, it does not feel it has shown at 6 pm. Usually at this time the cafe is always crowded by visitors but because it is a special day, I deliberately booked a place for us to gather together and asked the cafe owner Hendy to arrange everything.

Stefan is indeed the right person for gatherings, there are only talk and jokes, bringing a warm and cheerful atmosphere. Finna who had broken up was almost no trace of sadness that emanated from the look of her face. He was completely immersed in the happiness of this atmosphere. Maybe his destiny was like that, losing something to gain something else that was more meaningful and good for him.

"Eh.. Sha, didn't you want to talk about the project?" stefan said asking the real intent of gathering them, but I forgot because the atmosphere made me fall asleep.

"That's okay, next time". Answer's short. I feel bad about having to talk about a job at a time like this.

"No problem, we can listen to you, and maybe give you a little advice" Finna said trying to convince me to talk about it.

"alright". My timpalk to all of them and start telling me about the projects and business start-ups I'm going to build.

Almost 20 minutes I told him about a project that I had created and was launching later this month. With some clarification on how the company will work and also the marketing strategies of the products that I put out in the segmentation of Indonesian society, especially for technology-literate millennials.

"Your idea is very good, in terms of business view, it does look unrealistic. How can a virtual world that you just named Project Oxygen not be a game, he said, but it's becoming a new medium for people to interact and just do the things you used to do in real life"

"Whoever listens to your idea will surely resist, why is that? Because the world you are going to make it you can get in real life. You could say users prefer their avatar to hunt dragons in the game rather than just chatting like we do now".

Finna is really very willing to make people discouraged. All the criticism made sense and I hate to admit it. His view as a successful businessman can not be considered trivial, because it is his daily food to weigh and evaluate the company's performance in order to remain profitable.

I was silent for a moment without being able to reply. And everyone was also amazed by the scathing criticism from Finna, several times Indira rubbed my shoulders to calm down. However, Finna was not wrong and this time I had to weigh everything to be clearer and on target from the segmentation to be pursued.

"You're right, Fin, I have to reconsider".
