The Long Way to Be a CEO

Go home

“Finn.. Can I ask you something ?” He said he put himself on the bench next to Finna at a table that was already in the message for the event with the team from CTI.

“Bby, what's up ?” back asked and a little surprised by the change in attitude of Indira who changed suddenly.

A few minutes ago the two of them were laughing coolly jokingly about various things that were not important to talk about, some kind of female chat with her female friend. This time the look of a serious and moody face was clearly visible on Indira's face which made Finna think hard guessing what the flow of conversation in the future would be like, because Indira rarely wanted to ask serious problems.

“Actually, what is your goal to invest with a very large nominal in CTI”

“Sorry before, I didn't mean anything”. Indira did not dare to look directly at Finna, he struggled with a glass containing juice that little by little he drank.

That question could be easily answered by Finna. Only, he knew his best friend long enough and tried to digest as well as possible the question so that he could give a satisfactory answer.

“Emm... You're worried about Sharon ?” turn around to ask.

“Sikit” answer quickly.

“Good.. So, I deliberately invested in order to accelerate the growth of the company. If the growth is fast and systematic, automatically I will also be able to profit greatly from the 20% of shares that I now have in CTI”.

“Anyone wants more profit, and of course I am a businessman who needs profit”.

“More precisely, Sharon's idea, whether it's about Project Oxygen or something else, all of them have great value if they can be supported well continuously”.

“Last-lately, Sharon was so cute to me”.  Indira subconsciously complained in front of her good friend and managed to make Finna laugh giggling at her complaints and sighs.

“Hahaha... Dira.. Dira..”

“You're.... I laughed at Finn!”  Indira elbowed Finna's waist which was beside her right.

“Duh.. My stomach aches Dir.. You are a married couple, right?”

“There are only you Dir.” he did not stop laughing, the behavior of his best friend is indeed very adorable, especially if it is a boy problem.

Since from the time of Lecture, Indira is indeed not a woman who can be sensitive and can give treatment to the opposite sex. His innocent attitude like a high school child made him experience a lot of breakups due to lack of sensitivity to the couple.

“Dira.. Your husband is working to build his future with you. Naturally, there was a time he spent a lot of time alone to fight for it. He did it all, if not for you, then for whom?”

“Do not rush to conclude something Dira.” he continued to give an explanation and now Finna hugged her friend so that she felt more calm without worrying about things that she did not need to think about.

The restaurant they occupied was an upscale restaurant that had a special room for some kind of family gathering event. There are 12 benches on the long table leading to a landscape of views of the city of Jakarta. With a slightly cloudy atmosphere out there because it has entered the rainy season in November makes it a little dimmer. Finna instructed the waiter who was there to turn on the lights to be brighter and be able to comfortably talk when they were all gathered.

From the direction of the entrance, Dahlan and Zahra came early on after Xian and Fabian. They greet each other familiarize themselves, because they rarely meet Finna and also Indira who became the wife of their Boss.

...----------------...

“Guysh.. It looks like it will flood” said Fabian who looks worried because he has to return to the west Jakarta area.

“Come, we're home. It's also afternoon kan” take Rania.

“You come with me Ran,” I told Rania who was also worried because of the heavy rain and Dea was alone at home.

“Ok, let's go home”.

After talking to others, we decided to go home early and had no other choice. If it floods, then we will all be trapped in this restaurant and can only wait until the flood recedes.

There was a puddle of water on the highway a little higher than I had seen. A quarter of its height from submerged car tires. Indira pointed the vehicle in the other direction, looking for a gap to Rania's house is still 3 kilometers away to reach her home.

“Sorry yes dir ngerepotin” said Rania who was not happy because it had to be delivered by both of us.

“Just relax Ran, we are in line anyway. So no problem”. He replied while occasionally he noticed the rearview mirror.

The road is a little slow and there are only a few vehicles that want to go between the rising puddles. This area has indeed become a subscription to flooding because in the suburban area there are many settlements and also high buildings, and not to mention because of drainage from the exhaust system is less than optimal.

Arrive at the intersection, turn left and we stopped not far from the red light in the central area to deliver Rania. After saying goodbye, we both continued gas to the apartment which was still 40 minutes away.

“You cape?” I asked for pleasantries so that there would be a conversation between the two of us.

He shook his head to respond to my question and refocused his eyes on the highway. there was a sense of awkwardness between the two of us maybe because almost a month ago I rarely took the time to sit together and talk like yesterday, different from the usual day when we were together, lately, I have been focused on work.

Preparing for the event is very time consuming. Because a lot of things that I have not improved from the program that I run and also some preparation, requires analysis and consideration. Concentration broke and did not pay much attention to the existence of Indira. Usually I wake up early next to him, but some of this time I go to the office or sometimes stay there.

Not that I don't care about it and prioritize work. It's just that in that condition, I want the perfect event and can give satisfaction to everyone present. Of course from Project Oxygen which is the main attraction there should not be the slightest defect when launching. And I'm grateful that everyone helped, as did Indira. His presence has always been an encouragement in life, giving strength when I lost my direction, the meaning of his presence is so great no sentence can describe it all.

Better later I spend more time together with him, maybe a vacation out of town can improve our awkwardness as well as refreshing free from the hustle and bustle of nature Jakarta. Later, I try to ask Stefan the good vacation where, I also do not really know the exciting vacation spots.

“Thank you very much dear.” said I watered then peeked the white cheek.

"yeah..".
