The Love Story of Aina

22. Gossip In Pantry

After arriving at the pantry, Aina made coffee for Riyan. While Riyan sat down and watched Aina who was making coffee. His mind floated imagining if the figure of the woman in front of him would become his wife.

Make coffee and prepare breakfast for him. A smile spread across his face. Not too far away from imagining, Riyan was shocked by the voice of Aina who had offered her coffee.

He looked up at Aina and smiled, "Thank you" she said covering up her shock.

Then Aina sat down in front of Riyan. Seeing Riyan sipping his coffee slowly due to the heat. Aina chuckled as Riyan heated up.

"You don't coffee, either?" ask Riyan.

He sipped his coffee again quietly, tasting Aina's handmade coffee. Although this was the second time Aina made coffee for him, but still a little curious about the taste of the coffee.

"No, I don't like coffee" replied Aina.

Riyan just nodded his head still enjoying Aina's coffee. There was nothing to beat, other than Aina's coffee. It was too much, but it was reality for Riyan.

"Nob."

One sincere word he said to Aina. Aina just smiled sweetly, so sweet it seemed from Riyan's sight. Until Riyan's eyes lingered on Aina. Aina who knew in the face of Riyan for so long, she was getting groggy.

Her face was blushing, no matter what she thought, a second later Aina came to her senses with her behavior. He neutralized the atmosphere so as not to be awkward, his eyes staring in another direction.

"Ehm, Mr. Riyan did not attend the meeting also with Mr Vishnu?" aina asked covering up her awkwardness.

The one asked smiled, then he sipped his coffee again. Putting it on the table, Aina's eyes followed the cup on the table.

"It was coming, but your boss forbade me" said Riyan.

"Mm, I noticed, Mr. Riyan is very relaxed about his work. I think the personal assistant was very busy even busier than his boss. How come you are so relaxed, and rarely in the office." asked Aina with curiosity.

"Huhah! I am different from others, I work at will even though I am an assistant, but relaxed like a boss. Yummy, right?" the smile puffed up from Riyan's lips.

Aina smiled as well. Not realizing they were paying attention to the familiarity of the two. A smile was imprinted on the lips of the person who had been watching the two.

"It could be gossip." he murmured

Then he went out of the pantry. Aina glanced at the watch in her hand, it was already half ten. He was a little agitated, why did Mr. Vishnu so late coming, he thought.

"Why?" asked Riyan who knew Aina's unease.

"Sir Vishnu has not come yet?" said Aina.

"Oh yeah, we'll go to his room. Who knows it's coming." Then they're out of the pantry.

Arriving at his superior's room, at the knock of Mr. Vishnu's office door. The voice from inside loudly answered, and the two entered together. The sharp gaze from the oversized chair he showed Aina and Riyan.

His hands are crossed with lips pulled to the side. Vishnu clucked in annoyance because Aina and Riyan were so close as it seemed. They even came late.

"Well, you two have a good time talking. Who's the boss here? Why are you guys so relaxed like this, and I'm waiting here without knowing what you're doing." he said annoyedly.

Aina just looked down, she felt innocent. Want to argue, but definitely more angry, so he chose to be quiet. Riyan responded casually. He sat on the sofa with his legs on the overlap and his hands stretched out.

"And Lo, don't teach people to defy superiors!" vishnu's sharp gaze was aimed at Riyan this time.

"Sorry, sir" said Aina still with her face bent.

"You think work here to play? You're on a paycheck here to work, not relax!" the clashing sound shocked Aina, she felt even more guilty.

"Hey, Lo don't scold him too much bro, he just obeyed me making coffee. Who else is late? Putting blame on others!" riyan said with annoyance.

If Vishnu came faster, there was no way they would wait in the pantry while chatting casually. Drinking coffee while enjoying Aina's coffee.

"Gue's sure, you've just come to the office. But the pretentiousness of being a disciplined boss blamed the subordinates." said Riyan was also upset.

"Lo is the same, why also blame me." said Vishnu.

In the end the debate between the assistant and his superior ended in blaming each other. Aina so astonished at the two people, she confused the assistant more resolutely than her boss, but that was if it was a personal matter.

"Sorry sir, what's the meeting in cancel?" Aina interrupted their discussion.

"You quickly prepare the file, no one is left behind. And prepare all the materials that you will explain to the client. Remember that! no mistakes." said Vishnu full of emphasis.

"Alright sir." replied Aina resignedly.

"Lo take care of my work that wasn't finished yesterday. I unplug first, beware if I come not finished, I send Lo to Papua" said Wisnu threatening Riyan.

"When do I run away from responsibility? There's Lo tuh who is lazy to work. So excited to be a person." - Ryan.

Then Aina and Vishnu left the room. Aina went to her desk, retrieving the file she had prepared since. Then follow Vishnu to go to a meeting with Mr. Tanaka's.

After an hour and a half meeting with Mr Tanaka, it was finally over as well. Aina who had since been tense with her presentation in front of Mr. Tanaka, was a little confused to get upset. Because Mr.Tanaka is fluent in Indonesian. Here who feels stupid, him or Mr. Tanaka who was feeling relaxed responded to Aina's explanation.

Aina's heart skipped a beat as she began to explain, but it turned out that her nervousness from fear was futile. He looked at his boss with a cold face, he felt at work. He snorted annoyedly, last night he practiced speaking English to be fluent and not groggy. But in fact he was irritated not playing.

Then Mr.Tanaka said goodbye, they shook hands in turn. Aina went to greet Mr. Tanaka and just ducked when Mr. Tanaka talked to Vishnu before leaving.

"Mr Vishnu, your secretary is great and sweet" said Mr. Tanaka with a smile.

Vishnu only smiled satisfied with the compliment, but to Aina he was a mockery. Even so, he still smiled even though he looked stiff. After it passed, Aina asked her boss's intention to prank her.

"Sir Vishnu deliberately pranked me?" asked Aina with her upset mode.

"Hahah, .. I just want to know your ability to speak English. After all, it is good for you, so who knows you can meet an outsider client who really has to speak English. So there's no need to be confused." she casually replied still stalling a smile.

Aina snorted annoyedly she went back to silence, Hearing Vishnu's words her heart grew more and more upset. He wanted to leave his boss, but that was impossible.

"Let's go to the restaurant, have lunch. I liked the way you presented it, very clearly and Mr. Tanaka agreed with our cooperation. Thank you." said Vishnu sincerely.

Aina who was upset now smiled, there was nothing in vain with her efforts. Then the two went to a restaurant near the office, because lunch was running out.

After the incident in the pantry two days ago, Aina was hit by rumors that were not pleasant to hear.

Gossip circulating, he was close to the CEO and his personal assistant by seducing and using pellets.

All the colleagues in the finance department talked about Aina.Yang in the plus-plus that was exaggerated. Aina herself did not care about the gossip, as long as it did not interfere with her work.

It was common for him that there were people who did not like him. Since he was Junior High, there have been people who don't like him. Aina herself was astonished, there was nothing wrong that she did, but why would anyone not like even slandering the no-no.

Thinking that is not important to him can stress the mind, so from that he does not bother with the gossip.

"Enak yes, can find a face here and there so that the position can rise" Citra said cynically,

Named by Rara and Saskia who have been with Citra since. The Saints are silent.

Without bothering, Aina ignored Citra's chatter which she thought was less work taking care of other people's affairs.

"Close to the boss and his assistant, what else is in search if not ask for a position to rise." Citra's chatter increasingly makes Aina disturbed.

He stared at Citra sharply, the friendly word for Aina already lost from memory if facing a person like Citra. The image instead smiled cynically seeing Aina start to get emotional. Aina was still silent, her mind was still sane not to serve Citra's words.

Aina's phone rang, Aina took her phone and pressed the green button to answer the call. She passed away leaving Citra who still wanted to mock Aina, but Aina did not care. Grateful there was a call from Mr. Andi, so he did not need to serve Citra.
