The Struggle for Love of the Ceo

Winnowing

"Assalamualaikum, who am I talking to?"

"Am, it's me Afdal. How are you and grandma?"

"Afdal?? You changed the number!"

"Yes my phone is gone, this is a new phone. Good thing I got your number from your medsos. Hehehe"

"How are you there? Did you start work?"

"Hmmm, tomorrow I'm going to work. How are you, Am, good at business?"

"Alhamdulillah, it just opened as well. So it must be patient and patient. You're there taking good care of yourself, aren't you?"

"Ok, you too!"

After talking to Afdal by phone, Amalia approached her customers who were picking up her merchandise.

**"****"****"***"****"*

The next day in an office. A man wearing a red suit was standing by the window. His view centered on tall buildings towering in space. Sometimes he breathes long. It was as if there was a burden in his chest.

A knock resuscitated his daydream. "Come in" he ordered someone behind the door.

Niko and a young man walked up to her.

Angga then sat back in his chair. So did Niko and the guy.

"I'll introduce you to the new production manager."

"He is Mr. Afdal, a PKL employee who now replaces Mr. Dimas," said Niko introduced the man he brought to his superiors.

"Good morning Mr. Angga" Afdal said to his boss.

"Good morning, welcome to our company. Hope you feel at home working here, "reply Angga to his new employees.

They talked about the product that is currently being launched by Angga company. It just so happens that the new productivity reaches 30% of the target. So Angga hoped much under Afdal's leadership could increase his production numbers. Given the many market demands that are circulating at the moment.

In between their conversations. Angga's hand accidentally nudged the picture frame in front of him. So that makes the picture frame fall on the floor. Afdal can clearly see the photos in the frame.

"That's a photo of Amalia. There is what Mr. Angga and Amalia are, "the inner Afdal is a little confused. But he didn't have the courage to ask his superiors about it. He does not want to take care of other people's personal problems too much. Moreover, it was his boss.

Fortunately, the picture did not break. Quickly, Niko took the picture frame and put it back where it was.

********

After a meeting with Angga's clients feel heavy drowsiness. He plans to stop by the cafe shop that is viral on social media before returning to the office and lunch. Angga had already offered Niko to come with him. But Niko refused him on the grounds that he had affairs with someone. Finally Angga just single-handedly went to the cafe shop.

As he went inside, he saw a familiar figure to himself. A smile emanated from Angga's lips looking at the figure. Andin his best friend, was sitting daydreaming while stirring the drinks in front of him. Angga approached the woman.

"Ndin, Andean!" Excited Angga who stood before the woman. But the woman did not hear his words.

Angga just shook his head looking at his friend who looks moody. His ignorant hand then took a drink that had not been touched by the owner.

Angga drank the hot latte in front of Andin. Suddenly, the owner raised his head, looking for who drank, the drink.

"People." Andin's voice said his name. Angga could only chuckle at the expression of his best friend. Angga then put the drink back on the shirt, and sat down right

across from that beautiful woman.

"The love of the drink from earlier lyrics I ask to be gulped," said Angga made a woman named Andin sniffed before seeing his behavior.

"Asik really daydreamed it. What daydreaming, anyway? A boyfriend?" asked Angga while pulling a tissue and then swept it on his lips area to clean the traces of drinks there.

"Dih, haphazardly." Andin pulled away and leaned back his body. "Who is dreaming too."

"Don't dodge! My legs almost cramp standing beside you, waiting for you to be aware of my presence."

"Why did you come here?" Andin switched topics.

"Swim!" Andin was silent, staring intently at Angga to make the man again chuckle. "Eat. What else is here. You're weird."

Angga waved his hand, calling the blue hooded woman in the cafe's distinctive uniform.

"What do you want to eat?" Angga was busy flipping through the menu book in his hand. Then turn to the waiter and point to a menu that is listed there.

"No ah. I'm gonna have a drink." Andin glanced at the waiter as well. "Sir, I order es thai tea."

"OK, Mommy?" The waiter nodded then recorded Andin's order. "That's it?" tanyanya.

Almost Andin was about to answer the waiter, but was restrained when Angga first said, "just take his order with mine."

"I'm not hungry, Angga," Andin argued quickly.

"If you are not hungry, you must eat. Look at that body. Skinny, not like the first time I met you at a party."

Andin straightened his body while pointing at himself. "From the beginning my body was like this."

They just kept arguing until it made the waiter a little upset.

"How, Mas? So orders?" snatch the waiter.

"Yes." Yeah." Firmly Angga said to make Andin sigh and back leaning his body.

"Well, right! Daydream again." Angga's voice accompanied by a buzz on the table felt exploded in Andin's ear.

"What, anyway!"

A waiter came back with a tray filled with orders and began to put them on their table.

"Let's eat first. Let's be strong to daydream."

Angga chuckled with his own words while Andin only snorted. Before they finally enjoyed the lunch menu.

"You think, what? Your boyfriend cheated? That's gih! Just putin. You're beautiful and too precious to waste." Angga split the silence that a moment ago wrapped the two.

Andin placed the fork and steak knife on the right and left side of his plate. "Keep assuming the no-no about me. You think I'm thinking of someone? It's a waste of time, you know!" elak Andin is furious.

"That's the proof."

"That's it. I don't want to talk about it anymore" Andin broke up. "Now tell me about you. Are you still a hobby of changing girlfriends?" Andin continued eating.

"What kind of question is that? I'm not Playboy. I'm just giving them training so that later it won't be wrong to choose a man."

"Hey, Ciripas! It's the same. You stupid fool."

Seeing Andin's annoyed face, Angga was more and more excited about judging the woman.

"I have insyaf. Never played any woman since ...." Angga suddenly stopped his sentence. His face looked frustrated. Angga looked dreamy making Andin squinted his forehead.

"Take what?"

"Ehm ... There aren't. But seriously I'm not like I used to be."

"Cieee ... Playboy insyaf, the title?"

"Whatever you want to call me" said Angga. "Oh yeah, I can't believe a beautiful woman like you doesn't have a boyfriend."

"You believe it or not, it's up to you. But for sure, I don't have a boyfriend yet." Andin emphasized his sentence.

That afternoon they spent lunch together and Angga occasionally teased Andin. With that, he could slightly forget about the problem.
