“Good morning dear father/mother, thank you for taking the time to attend our event. I stand here on his orders, om Irawan who is also the owner of this hotel. Frankly, I have never managed a hotel before, but he entrusted me to manage it. This is a big responsibility for me because I have never had experience in the hospitality world before. With that, I ask for cooperation, please help in the future if there are obstacles. I say a lot of thanks to Om Irawan who has been looking after me and took the time to listen to my every complaint, and also has given confidence to continue the hotel. Thank you om.” Sony hugged Om Irawan for a while and then spoke again.
“O yes, another one, although Om Irawan does not take care of this hotel anymore, it does not mean he is not the owner. Whenever he would go home, still, this hotel would open its doors wide. I think that's all I have to say. Thanks for the attention.” Sony pulled away from the front of the guests who had been watching. Followed by Mr. Irawan after closing his speech.
Mr. Irawan and Sony joined the guests to eat the dishes casually while talking about his business. The music sounded beautiful in the room.
A few minutes later, a no less handsome man from Sony entered the meeting room. He walked so firmly and his eyes swept across the entire scene that was in the room . The suit black dress wrapped it perfectly, the face firm and the glasses he wore did not reduce his good looks.
Seen, the man approached Mr. Irawan's table and greeted him. He stood behind Sony reaching out to Om Irawan. Mr. Irawan immediately stood up to welcome his arrival.
“Beni! You are very late.” Said Om Irawan while laughing patting Beni on the shoulder.
“I'm sorry om, it was jammed so a little long time coming.” Reply Beni smiled after shaking hands with Om Irawan.
“Son, why are you still sitting?! You don't see who's coming?!” said Om Irawan reprimanding Sony who is busy playing his phone, must have exchanged news with Vania. That beloved woman. I didn't realize there was someone standing behind him.
“Eh yes Om,” Sony aghast standing from the chair he was sitting in.
“Hai Son! How are you?!” Beni laughed broadly hugging Sony.
“Ben-Art?! You are here?! Oh God, why not do some news? I'll be able to pick you up at the airport.” Said Sony taking off his embrace and then noticed Beni.
“Son, add your handsome. Hahaha.” It was Beni who stared at Sony after a long time without seeing each other.
“You too, look now. Bring it once you.” Pat Beni's shoulder. “Come sit.”
Beni sat next to Sony, praising each other and spending time exchanging stories, chatting and reminiscing about their childhood.
Beni is Sony's best friend from elementary school to college, they are like brothers everywhere always together, one school, one class, to one campus. Beni's father is a good friend of Mr. Irawan. So while Beni was staying out of town by her parents for business, she must have stayed at Mr. Irawan's house. Not much different from Sony, he grew up with the family of Mr. Irawan because his parents were so busy focusing on his business in Jakarta.
No matter how busy Mr. Irawan is, he will definitely take his time for his only daughter and beloved niece. Unfortunately, Mr. Irawan's girl has died. Sony's older brother always went with his parents, from which Sony did consider himself not considered by his biological family. He felt neglected and wasted, not in want of his presence. She also thought her parents were very affectionate towards her and her brother. Although from a distance his parents always ask for news and attention. Still, that's not enough to soften Sony's heart.
“See, om get forgotten! meet his best friend.” Tegur Pak Irawan insinuated Sony and Beni who were busy chatting no matter where he was.
“Sorry, I'm very surprised to see him here. Did you tell him to come here?” ask Sony.
“Who else if not om?!”did he want to come here if not told?!” replied Mr. Irawan squinted his eyes at Beni and smiled slightly.
“Not so om, Beni was busy taking care of papa's hotel in Bali. So there is not much time to visit om.” Beni said reasoned.
“Then, what are you doing here now?! Why come here. Aren't you super busy.?!” Sela Sony insinuated her best friend.
“Sadly now papa has taken care of it himself, so my task is now here. “ Beni replied.
“I mean, he will accompany you here. Help you take care of this hotel Son.” Obviously Mr. Irawan made Sony surprised and choked.
“What? Really om?! Uhuk uhuk.” Ask Sony who is still accompanied by a cough.
“Ya true dong Son. Time om kidding.”
“Why are you so excited to hear that I will accompany you? You're still normal, aren't you Son?! Hahaha.” Beni is mocking Sony.
“Enak. What do you think I am?!” Sony glanced at Beni who was laughing at him.
“Om thinks you must be lonely, especially now that om and aunt will move. So it's good to give you a friend who makes you comfortable.” It is clear that Irawan was so understanding to his nephew.
“Why is it so good, thank you om. If only om was papa I would definitely be the happiest person.” Said Sony a little sweet but in showing his firm smile and
“Your father is also no less good Son, already-that was his meal spent first.” Pat Sony's shoulder. Which only smiles back at him. “Beni, you take food first there, later the reunion.” Reprimanded Mr. Irawan to Beni who had not stopped telling stories.
“Siap om.”
“Om stay there first yes,” said Mr. Irawan stood pointing to the most end table occupied by his business friend.
“Oh yes om.” Sony and Beni answered. Mr. Irawan then left the table he was sitting on.
Sony is checking his phone while waiting for Beni who is taking food at the buffey. Before long Beni came with a cake on her plate and a glass of her favorite juice.
“Hayo... who is it?! Also, please know dong Son.” Beni who put her food on the table and set her sitting position had a peek at the Sony phone that was in her hold. Sony knows the reaction
“Don't like kepo Ben. Your habits!” cellphone closing.
“Hahaha. I just asked to introduce the same woman. Singles nih.” Beni replied casually considering the face of the woman on the phone is so beautiful and cute.
“Do not carelessly Ben. She's my lady. Look for another woman.”
“What?! Your woman? Hahaha... since when did you become interested in Son's woman?!” beni Ejek.
“Ben, watch your talk. Can you keep that baritone voice down?!” Sony glares.
