As if getting a breath of fresh air from Johan, Alza immediately contacted Argan to ask him to meet. But Alza had to swallow disappointment because Argan did not answer the call from him.
On Argan's side, he is now with the Agatha family, and of course there is Oma Ratna with him. Oma Ratna smiled as she managed to get Argan to comply with her wishes.
Oma Ratna rubbed Argan's arm. Two families just talked about Argan and Agatha's engagement plans. After the talks, Oma Ratna resigned with Argan.
"Oma's glad you're out of touch with that girl." Oma Ratna opened the chat on the way.
"I did all this for Oma. May Oma keep Oma's promise by not involving Alza in Oma and Grandpa Johan's past troubles."
"of course. Oma will keep your promise if you can also keep your promise. After all, you are still dating, what's wrong if you break up in the middle of the road? You have no commitment whatsoever."
Argan no longer answered. I was tired of arguing with my grandmother. Oma Ratna's condition deteriorated immediately if Argan refused her request.
...***...
In the morning, Alza who was upset with Argan even went to the man's office. Alza went into the room where Argan was. Surely very empty room in the office.
"Sorry, Miss. Mr. Argan is not in place." A woman who was Argan's secretary told Alza.
"Huh? Is that true? It's still early morning why is Bang Argan not in place?" Alza doesn't believe that.
"Yes, Miss. Mr. Argan there's a morning meeting outside."
Alza decided to call Argan's cell phone number. Alza herself is confused as to why her lover never answered the call from her.
"The number you are going to is off, or is outside the service area. Try a few more moments."
Alza again had to swallow disappointed. Alza wants to break into Argan's room. Can't believe what it's like if her boyfriend isn't willing to meet her.
As she stepped up, Alza's phone rang. He thought it was Argan, but it wasn't.
"Hello."
"Alza, now that I'm in front of your office, where are you?"
Alza patted her jidat slowly. Alza forgets that she asked Aryan to come to work for her.
"Ah, yes. You wait a minute there. I'm on my way."
Alza turned around and left Argan's office. It's free to wait if it's true Argan's not in place.
Meanwhile, Argan is in his room. Because of Oma Ratna's request, Argan is forced to ask his secretary to lie.
"Good, Son! He will soon forget you too. Trust me with Oma!" Ratna patted her grandson's shoulder gently. Argan was silent and did not respond. In his heart Argan cursed himself who was unable to refuse his betrothal to Agatha.
...***...
Alza arrives at the Nusantara Group office and meets Aryan who is waiting for him in the lobby.
"Hi, sorry to wait so long. Let's just go straight to my room!" Alza spoke flatly and quite firmly.
Aryan did not answer and followed Alza's steps towards his room.
"Well, this is your room. As long as I've worked here, I've never had an assistant. So, it's an honor for you."
Aryan mangosteen while looking around his work room.
"Come on! I'll introduce you to my father."
"Eh?! Does it have to be now?"
"of course! You're my assistant, so you're going to organize all my work."
Aryan nodded obediently. From the frame of his glasses, Aryan's eyes circulated. I don't think he's any stranger to this place.
"The alza!" call him.
"Yes?"
"Why do I feel familiar with this place?"
Alza smiled meaningfully. You are no stranger to this place. You spent your time raising this company under Grandpa's guidance.
"Let's go in!" Alza opened the door to her father's room after his secretary informed him of Alza's arrival.
"Father!" Alza greeted Sultan.
"Darling? Tumben you came so early." The Sultan stood up from his seat of greatness to approach Alza.
"Bah, introduce! This is Aryan Aswatama. From today he will be my personal assistant in the office."
Aryan reached out in front of the Sultan. The middle-aged man frowned but still welcomed Aryan's helping hand.
"Good morning, sir. I'm Aryan. I will work well as Miss Alza's assistant."
"Please take care of my daughter!" sultan.
"Father! I'm not a kid to look after." Alza frowning.
Aryan glanced at the glance and smiled faintly at Alza's sulking manner towards her father.
"Ready, Sir. I will take care of Miss Alza with all my heart!"
Sultan patted Aryan on the shoulder. "Welcome to join the Nusantara Group."
...***...
Exiting the Sultan's room, Alza and Aryan again walked to the Alza's room. On the way, they cross paths with Agasa.
"Alza, who is he?" Agasa pointed with his chin.
"Ah, he's my personal assistant. Name's Aryan. Aryan, this is Agasa's sister. He served as director of product development. He's also my cousin's brother."
"Hi, Mr. Agasa. I'm Aryan!" Aryan extended his hand, but Agasa had no intention of retaliating.
"It's quite surprising, Alza. Why do you suddenly have an assistant?" Agasa looked at Alza and ignored Aryan's figure.
"It's okay. I just want to. This Aryan has extraordinary abilities. I think I can use his brilliant brain to help me. If there's nothing else you want to say, then..."
"Regarding our arranged marriage..."
Alza listened to Agasa's words.
"I accept it, Alza. So, I hope you'll take it too."
"What-what?!" Alza clenched her hands.
"And I don't think you've heard anything about your girlfriend yet."
"What do you mean, brother?"
"I can't tell you. But, sooner or later you'll find out." Agasa passed away after saying that sentence in front of Alza.
"Who the hell is he? So annoying!" aryan grunts. "Come, Alza. Let's just go back to your room. I've arranged your schedule today."
Aryan precedes Alza's move. Not wanting to continue thinking about Agasa's ravings, Alza also chose to head to his room.
...***...
A courier sent a package to Alza. Feeling like he didn't order anything, Alza wanted to reject him. But the recipient's name is clearly Alza's.
Alza opened a box that appeared to contain an invitation.
"Whose invitation is this?"
Alza's eyes glared as she read the name on the invitation.
"Agatha Kristie and Argantara Dewangga? Whatisthis? I-they're getting engaged?"
The invitation was released from Alza's hands. Feeling something strange with his daughter, Arnis immediately approached his daughter.
"Darling, what's wrong? Whose invitation is this?" Arnis picked up the invitation lying on the floor.
Arnis was also surprised like Alza. "Darling..." Arnis rubbed Alza's arm.
"What is this, Ma? To.na...pa Bang Ar...gan a..kan ber...tu..na...ngan....?.ngan...?"
Alza's voice was shaking. It turns out this is the answer to the gamangnya feelings Alza some days. Argan can't see him. Argan didn't answer his phone call. Argan dodged when he came to the office.
Alza immediately ran towards the room and picked up the cell phone.
"I beg you to lift up, Bang! For the last time, you have to explain everything to me."
Until finally...
"Hello, Alza..."
"We need to talk, Bang."
"alright. Where do you want to meet?"
"Tomorrow at XYZ's restaurant."
"alright. See you tomorrow."
