Thorny Love

*Bab 57

"Crazy for you, Zein. I can't leave this town. I don't want to leave my memorable birthplace."

"Then, what else can I do now, Riska? There aren't. There's nothing I can do anymore."

"You came here to bring the Martin group's corporate cooperation to cooperate with Zia's company. What if you hire me in Zia's office as a messenger from your company. I'm sure that's a good position for me" Riska said with a sweet smile.

"Working in Zia's office?" zein asked as if he could not believe what Riska had said.

"Yes. Wh why? You mind huh? Or, I don't deserve to work in Zia's office because I'm not a foreign graduate? Or .... "

"It has. Don't talk so much that's not clear, Riska. Later, I'll talk to Zia about this. If he doesn't mind, then I'll hire you in Zia's office as Martin's representative of the group" Zein said, cutting out Riska's words.

"really?" ask Riska with a sweet smile.

"Hmm," Zein said as he nodded his head.

Suddenly, a possibility flashed past Riska's mind. He was afraid that Zia would not accept herself to work in the office. Happiness disappears and changes with anxiety.

"Zit."

"Yes." Yeah."

"What if Zia won't accept me working in her office?"

"Cannot be. I'm sure that Zia will accept you. Just calm down, let me talk to him."

"Yes, all right. I'm waiting for the good news from you, Zein. Hopefully I can work quickly at Zia's company. Let me not bother thinking about my dependents anymore."

Zein invites Zia to talk at the cafe. Zein's goal is none other than, want to talk about Riska who he wants to make a representative of his Martin Group company.

"Zia, I'm asking you to meet because I want to talk to you about work."

"Oh, why meet outside? Why don't you just talk in my room?"

"I want to feel a different atmosphere here. If we're talking in your room, we can't feel the outside air, can we?"

"Hmm ... Don't play too much Zein, I'm sure there's something heavy you want to tell me. Let's quickly say it now! Before I became upset," Zia said as if she knew what Zein was trying to say.

"You're amazing, Zia. You can read my intentions. It's amazing."

"Have it, don't flatter me so much like that. One thing you must remember, if the heart receives too much pain, then the level of vigilance will be higher. Just a little change of attitude, it'll be very easy to smell different scents."

"Yes, I understand the meaning of the words you said just now. Please, don't insult me again in the future. I feel bad."

"alright. I'd like to talk to you about the representative of the Martin group that I'm going to put in your office. And, I've found the guy."

"Oh, it's good that you've found the right person to be your company's representative. Who's she?"

"He's Riska. My childhood friend. I'm sure you know him."

"Riscus?" Zia was a little shocked and in disbelief. But he didn't want to show it. He tried to remain calm as he listened to who Zein had chosen. Despite feeling unsure about accepting the person Zein chose, Zia was not one to disrespect others.

"What's up Zia? Did you not approve?" zein asked somewhat worriedly.

"Oh no. I don't talk like that. If you've chosen him, then I'll accept him in my office. I don't mind because it's your choice."

"I won't put Riska in your office if you don't agree with Zia. That's why your office, even though he's a representative of my company, still, there must be a word of agreement from you, right?"

"I don't mind what your decision is Zein. If that's the best option in your opinion, then put him in the position you want," said Zia trying to stay calm.

"Well if that's the case, I'll put Riska in your office. I beg your guidance to Riska. He's new, needs a lot of guidance and adjustment. You can, can't you, Zia?"

"Too for that I can't promise, Zein. I can't help you guide Riska because .... " Zia hung up her sentence, making Zein guess what the continuation of the words Zia said.

"For what, Zia? Because you and Riska always have different opinions?" ask Zein to guess.

"Not really. Riska and I are not close, so, it seems like Riska and I have never been dissenting due to that lack of approach" Zia said trying to explain the misunderstanding Zein had thought of.

"Yes Zia, don't think about it. I will not force you to guide Riska. Hm .. I also will not put Riska in your office," Zein said with a smile.

"Lho, why? Didn't you say you'd put Riska in my office as a representative of your company?" zia asked feeling shocked by what Zein said just now.

"Not if you don't want it."

"You mean?"

"Zia, I know that you mind if I put Riska in your office. Even though you didn't say that, yet I can see everything from your face."

"Zit."

"It has. Don't discuss it again. Now, hurry up and finish the drink because you'll be right away I'll drop you back at the office. Twenty more minutes, you'll be attending an important meeting, won't you?" Zein spoke while looking at the watch in his hand.

"Yes." Yeah."

Zia did what Zein said. Inwardly, Zia smiled happily because of Zein's attitude just now. That happiness completely enveloped Zia's heart so she couldn't hide it. Zia smiled as she enjoyed the drink on her desk.
