"Okay sir" replied Reina Secretary Erfan.

"Please take this job application to Dept.Personalia, Make sure they recruit this person as your replacement later," Erfan told Reina while giving a brown map containing CV Dara.

"Well sir," said Reina, taking the brown map and leaving Erfan's room.

Reina was 35-year-old Secretary Pak Subrata when she was CEO, had worked for 10 years and would resign for family reasons.

Erfan was back in focus staring at the laptop, ten fingers danced here and there on the keyboard completing endless office work, until the sound of vibrating his phone on the desk stopped its activities, so that the sound of vibrating his phone on the desk stopped his activities, a message from Sarah.

"So dong Darling, so can't wait for me to eat your cake, (emo love).

"I wait, don't work long I've missed."

"Every Madam.express anyway, I'm more kangen."

Erfan smiled and put his phone back on the table.

"Smiles to himself" said Nathan arrived, Erfan's 29-year-old friend who served as GM at his company.

"When are you here? play sitting just don't use the doorknob, don't use excuse me, I fire you."

"I knocked on the door, Fan, you're too busy with your smile, I'm dropping your job."

"Issss," Erfan said as he swung his right hand upwards as if he was about to punch Nathan, "why are you here?" continued.

"No papa I'm bored, want to come here refresh the brain."

"Is your job done?"

"It's done Boss," Nathan said as he extended his thumb to Erfan's front.

"It is not in vain that I make you my subordinate" Erfan chuckled.

"Nathan." said Nathan, puffing his chest and patting it with his right hand.

"Currently," said Erfan, cutting his lips, "already back to where you were, don't bother me, see how much I still do," erfan said as he fixed his eyes on the pile of files on the table.

"Yes yes.I went back, it's so with my own friends," said Nathan chuckled as he stood up and went out of Erfan's room.

The clock has shown at six in the afternoon, Erfan out of the room by holding his briefcase on his left shoulder. The atmosphere of the office looked quiet, only the sound of shoes from Erfan's footsteps could be heard.

After entering the elevator and descending on the first floor, Erfan walked out the lobby, there was only a security guard who greeted kindly, Erfan said, Erfan just smiled and kept walking towards his car which had stopped in front of the main door of the building.

"Thank you," Erfan said while receiving the car keys from valet officers, Erfan immediately entered the car and drove the car to Sarah's house.

***

Ting tung tung tung , Erfan rang Sarah's apartment bell.

A few moments waited for the door to open and he saw a beautiful woman wearing a white casual T-shirt smiling wryly welcoming him behind the door.

"Come on Fan," said Sarah pulling softly Erfan's right hand before wriggling spoiled on his arm.

"Why Honey?" Erfan asked when he saw Sarah's gloomy face.

Erfan turned to look at Sarah and then covered her two cheeks "Don't force yourself to smile if your heart doesn't want it."

"Hey why are you, baby?" erfan asked again looking into Sarah's eyes.

There was no answer coming out of Sarah's mouth, only the sound of a hug that accompanied the rush of tears. Erfan grabbed Sarah's body in his arms trying to calm her lover's heart.

"Don't make me worry like this Sar, you can tell me everything."

"I love you, Fan." Sarah said in her tears.

Erfan pushed Sarah's body slowly from her embrace, his right hand gently stroking Sarah's cheek, before covering both of her lover's cheeks, "I love you more, you know that?" Erfan looked into Sarah's eyes.

Sarah nodded her head before returning to Erfan's embrace. No question came out of Erfan's lips just a gentle touch on his back and Sarah's head let her lover let go of all the tightness in her heart.

"Let's sit down Fan." Sarah let go of the embrace and wiped away the rest of her tears.

Erfan nodded and grabbed Sarah by the shoulder, led her and sat her down on the sofa. While Erfan chose to sit crouching in front of his lover, in the soft grip of Sarah's hand on Sarah's lap.

"Have you been able to tell me all your grief, dear?" erfan asked gently looking at Sarah's sad eyes.

Sarah smiled wryly, "Do you want to taste my cake Fan?"

Erfan nodded and smiled, "Sure."

"You wait here, I'll get you, please" said Sarah, standing up and walking into the kitchen.

Erfan stood up from his position then sat on the sofa, he was very curious about the problems that befell his lover.

Sarah came out of the kitchen, with two pieces of brownies in her hand and a small fork she put on a small plate.

"Hemmm looks good" Erfan said as he received a cake plate from Sarah.

"Cobain Fan" said Sarah, sitting next to Erfan.

Erfan cut one of the slices of cake with a fork before stabbing it and eating it.

" Hemmm good darling," Erfan said as he chewed, "sweet," he continued before thrusting the fork back into the rest of the cake on the plate.

"Maybe this is the last time I can give this sweet taste to you Fan." Sarah's voice suddenly made Erfan speechless and let go of the fork on the plate.

Erfan looked at Sarah fixedly, his eyes filled with questions.

"What do you mean?"

"I was paired with my parents Fan" replied Sarah back in tears.

Erfan pursed his lips, feeling tight, making himself seem hard to breathe.

"I'm sorry Fan, I'm sorry" Sarah said in tears.

Erfan remained silent, his mind and heart were still trying to digest everything, all of Sarah's sentences were so sudden and instantly tore her feelings apart.

"I'll get married next week Fan."

"You're kidding, aren't you Sar? if you're joking, I swear this isn't funny."

Sarah shook her head on the sidelines as she cried.

"Hahahaha this isn't funny Sarah, how can you do this to me?"

"I'm sorry Fan, I can't resist my parents' wishes, my father doesn't approve of our relationship."
