The Lover In Dream

Dreams that Come True

Once again Naomi read the email she got last night, he could not sleep all night thinking about all the things he wanted to do after knowing that in less than two months he would go abroad. Making one of his biggest dreams.

That morning, as usual Naomi came first from her coworkers. Naomi currently works as a supervisor at a private company. For almost two years he worked there while continuing to learn to deepen his foreign language skills. Honestly, Naomi has more than twice submitted her resignation because she feels uncomfortable in her current workplace, but she still survives because of her father's debt that she must pay off. Every time he tried to submit a letter of resignation, his superiors always offered him new opportunities.

At the first time he submitted his resignation, suddenly his boss gave him the opportunity to be a permanent employee. And the second time, when he had forced to resign, his boss then gave him the opportunity to rise to the position of supervisor. Naomi is the only woman divided into working, besides she is also a single worker. Until sometimes that makes it too busy to work, even sometimes he spends weekends to work, even though he has worked more than twelve hours a day.

Tok ! Tok ! Tok !

Naomi ventured to knock on her superior's room this early, even though working hours had not yet begun. The man nodded indicating that he could enter the room, Naomi politely entered the room and sat down. Naomi's boss is an expatriate, but her boss is fluent in Indonesian. Whenever there is an opportunity, Naomi is the one who helps her to learn Indonesian.

"What's Naomi ?" Ask the boss, Mike.

"Mr Mike" said Naomi slowly while offering her resignation letter.

Mike just smiled, he then handed back Naomi's resignation letter as a sign of her rejection. Even this time Mike had to stand up and bow a little.

"You know Naomi, I will never accept your resignation" Mike said.

"But Mr. Mike, this time I have a reason that I cannot refuse" Naomi replied.

"What?"

"I got a job offer in Japan, Mr. Mike knows and I've talked about this a lot before with you" Naomi said.

"If it's just a matter of working abroad, I can send you to China for Naomi's training. It makes no difference" Mike said.

"Mr Mike, it's not about where I have to work. But this is my chance to work in my field, and I got this opportunity"

"Why are you so enthusiastic Naomi, your career in this company I guarantee. Soon you will be promoted as Manajat..."

"But this is not my field, if I continue to impose what is not my capability. I will never be at my maximum in what I will do. And I can't" Cut Naomi, though lying she still looks very convincing.

"I am submitting my resignation thirty days before my last day, and I will provide a copy of my resignation letter on the personnel section today. Hope you can accept it" he added.

Once again Naomi offered her resignation letter, then she stood up and bowed a little as a sign of her respect before she politely walked out of Mike's room. His breathing was relieved after he submitted his resignation letter, he stared at the computer screen that was still on. There, a picture of him was attached while receiving the award as the best employee last year. He smiled slightly as he looked at the photo, recalling the memories within.

"Naomi, can you come in my room for a minute?" Call a man, admin personnel where he works.

Naomi followed the man's footsteps, then they stopped in the room twice two meters where usually personnel call employees to inform personal matters.

"I got a call this morning from Mr. Mike, I heard you're submitting your resignation" the man asked.

"Yes sir"

"Why ? You have a problem with your job now?"

"i don't have a problem what is currently sir, before I have explained to Mr. Mike that I get an offer to work abroad"

The man just nodded at Naomi's explanation, "But we have to find your replacement Naomi first. And you know, finding someone who has a single understanding with Mr. Mike is very difficult. I hope you can understand" he explained.

"Sir, I think resigning is a right for every employee. And this resignation of mine does not violate the rules of any law.I cannot delay my opportunity just because I have to understand the state of the company Sir. If I lose my chance, will the company be able to give me back my chance?"

No one can hold Naomi back this time, she has been all her might to convince herself to quit the company. And the best thing he could do was just to submit his resignation in accordance with the rules of the company. Half-dead Naomi argued with the man until she decided to come out of the room to end the pointless debate.

"I picked up this afternoon" he read when he saw a message coming into the phone.

Today's work hours felt so long for Naomi, not because of her work but because she had to think of a way to inform Rio of her decision. Today, even Rio suddenly invited her to go home together.

Step off!

His phone suddenly reads a sign of an incoming message.

"Congratulations, your manuscript has successfully passed the evaluation. Our admins will contact you for the further process of publishing the manuscript" Read Naomi in heart.

His eyes widened as he read the message, after two months of waiting, he finally got the good news from the book publisher. In addition to language, Naomi also has an interest in writing a novel. His work has been published on various online platforms. But although often published on online platforms, it turns out that his work is not enough to be published in books. Several times he was rejected by book publishing companies, and today he gets a surprise through a short message on the submission of his manuscript. His eyes were slightly watery as he started replying to the message, but his breathing sounded relieved.

Naomi pinned her book following the steps of the man, she forgot today there was a weekly meeting that she should not miss.

*****

It has been two hours of film in the cinema, not like Rio usually silent throughout the film although sometimes his hand grasped Naomi's hand tightly.

"Bosen Nih" complains Naomi.

That night, Rio invites Naomi to watch a movie that Naomi does not like. Naomi absolutely does not like watching movies with the theme of robots or alien aliens who attack the earth. Because he is rational, he thinks.

"Wait a minute, it's also over soon" Rio replied.

The woman was only able to lean her head against the chair and yawn occasionally, she felt bored. Several times he turned to the right and to the left that only he and Rio were sitting in the back row. The rest is full in front. Sometimes he wants to believe that Rio reserved all the seats in the back row, but he knows Rio is not that rich to do things in vain without meaning.

"I went to the toilet" Rio said.

"Hhhhhhhhhhhh we're out. I'm the boss" complained Naomi again.

"That's great, it's over soon. You sit here, watch. Tell me what the ending is. Yea?" Pinta Rio's.

"Yes!" Naomi agreed with me.

Rio went down the steps of the cinema in a hurry, and Naomi still felt bored while looking at the cinema screen that was displayed in front of her until the film was finished.

"I started my teenage years when I met him"

The voice of someone Naomi knew echoed through the cinema, causing Naomi confusion. Before long, a photo of himself was displayed on the cinema screen. As everyone stared and cheered at Rio who entered the cinema in a suit and a bunch of flowers, Naomi just remained quietly sitting in her place.

"It's been almost eight years, he's filled my life. Gave me something new that I couldn't find alone" Rio continued.

"He can listen to my feelings, even if I'm just quiet"

"He who can make me smile even though things are bitter"

"He who faithfully accompanied me saw the movie until the end even though he didn't like the movie"

"He who keeps asking me to talk so that I don't feel sleepy while riding a motorcycle. Even though he himself was holding back the drowsiness"

"He is willing to sit quietly beside me when I am angry"

"Today, I accidentally ordered a row of cinema seats there. To him, the woman I'm talking about"

All eyes were on Naomi. Although shocked Naomi still remained silent in her position, trying to understand what Rio was doing. When he arrived a cinema attendant approached him and put a crown on his head and led him down to approach Rio.

"Although it's been eight years, to do this I still keep thinking" Rio added

"Will he choose me, or if he chooses me. Am I the right person for him"

"Can I do the same, as he did for me"

"Will I be able to make her happy, like she made me happy for almost eight years"

"And when I do this, I'm just thinking about my wishes for the rest of my life"

"i want to keep her happy" Rio said Again.

"I can no longer continue to have this kind of relationship, being separated every time I drive you home. And I miss when I just got home"

"Marry me" Rio added as Naomi arrived before him.

A black box with a gold stripe, inside was a ring with a blue diamond in the middle. Suddenly the atmosphere of the cinema became very boisterous, some people took it with photos and videos. Yet Naomi remained silent, her hands trembling as Rio tried to clasp her fingers.

"Rio.me..."
