The Long Way to Be a CEO

New Beginning

Stefan looked at me as if he was going to say something very secretive and also for sure this was important to him. He drank coffee in a white ceramic cup and then started to open a conversation that made me very astonished.

"The next month I'm out of the company" he stopped his sentence and handed me a letter of resignation from the company where he worked as deputy director, I read it carefully. And it's true that he was serious about that talk.

"I will help you build a company, in any part of it that if you really need my throne, how?"

I'm still confused by the sudden decision and other things I can't explain. For me this is a hard slap, Stefan who is always in his comfort zone will give me to build a company, whether to be happy or sad about this.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, are you serious?" ask her. I recognized the look in his eyes, sharp and very serious about his decision that he might have thought further about his career. This will impact on his income that when he used to tell stories, he had a salary of 100 million per month.

Stefan is a close friend and also like a sibling himself, if that is the decision I will not refuse, only I have to know more clearly the reason why he dared to take extreme decisions like this, he said, of course it's crazy for people who want to sacrifice hundreds of millions in revenue just to join the startup I'm building.

"I have to discuss this with Rania". Immediately, I sent a short message to rania to come to the cafe immediately, so that more and more people were more clear about the problem to be solved. Even though I knew Rania would definitely agree with Stefan's decision.

At this time the position of the managerial company is still fixated on me, I hold the entirety of every company activity, he said, with Stefan of course this will be a new breath for all of us because there are people who already understand the workings of a company.

The business network that it has is not playing, a lot and can be relied on to penetrate national markets as well as globally. proven by the company he had previously placed that could take projects abroad thanks to his expertise in opening business gaps.

"Do you have a honeymoon plan? where's stef?" ask me to shift the topic while waiting for Rania who will follow here.

"My father gave me a round-trip ticket to Japan, tomorrow we leave".

”My wife is very impatient to go to japan, this is her first time to go abroad". Stefan is constantly talking about his wife who is excited because she will go on a honeymoon in Japan for a full week which is currently packing items that will be prepared to be brought.

Not long after we talked, Hendy came with a brown wooden tray that he brought, there was a kind of tart cake that was not so big that he made for Stefan.

"Congratulations on the wedding, hopefully this time you can be loyal to your partner” he put a round-shaped tart cake that is likely 6 CM in diameter. very beautiful tart cake, white and red accents of strawberry sauce and brown flakes on top.

”Thank you mas.. wah kanya tasty” said I responded to the chat.

” Heh!, this is for stefan, I didn't make it for you huh!" mas Hendy glanced at me with that wry look.

”Hahahah.. thanks mas, it looks good” stefan laughs in response to the two of us who always teased each other, and also I was happy to joke with the father of the owner of this cafe.

”Your wife why not come here?" mas handy put an empty tray and sat on the bench with us.

”Medina is busy preparing for departure to japan, tomorrow we plan to go to japan for a week”.she explained her honeymoon vacation plans to Hendy mas.

“Cih.. basic..”.

The three of us have been like this since being familiar during college. Joking and also nosy to each other, there is no sense of reluctance in our airport because this is what makes the relationship so close as a brother. Especially from the attitude and treatment of Mas Hendy who is very considerate.

I used to work in this place when it was still early built his cafe. I learned a lot from him, from serving the menu, serving customers and also exploring various things about this cafe in order to be more in demand by visitors, especially teenagers and students.

Once upon a time I had not paid semester money to college, the money I saved I was forced to use to help Hena, who was stricken because his parents were in the village was sick and he had to go home to take care of his mother. Mas hendy who knew this immediately gave me a loan of money to pay the semester money by cutting every month from the salary I got.

It was his kindness that made me feel that Mas Hendy was really a good person that I might find difficult to find in the wilderness of the Capital of Jakarta. Without thinking long he will help as much as possible if there are people closest to him are experiencing disaster. And against Stefan, Hendy always advised him not to play a lot of women. This Playboy is very famous in the campus environment because it can hook any woman he likes and show it in the future, he said, Hendy was very unhappy about it and always reminded Stefan.

Deep in his heart, he was happy that Stefan finally decided to marry the mooring of his heart that he had found. Currently Mas Hendy still gives his advice about marriage and household which is said to be, he said, the household not only unites two humans who love each other but also unites two problems that they will face both.

“So when will you marry Indira?” ask Mas Hendy.

“I just met his parents yesterday mas, my plan is next month want to cirebon, want to propose” said I seriously respond to his question.

“Good then. But what about your parents, have you told them this?” this question confused me a bit. And it was true, gradually I had to tell my intentions to the old man, a very difficult step.

“Will I try to” .

Mas Hendy did not continue his chat and as understood by my reluctance to involve parents in my serious intention to ask Indira.

“Alright, please continue to chat, I still have a lot to do in the kitchen”. said Mas Hendy and left this room to the kitchen to re-process the dishes ordered by other customers.
