Erik has been seen standing by at the airport, preparing to welcome the arrival of Farhan, his cousin and boss. Glanced at the watch on the hand, "The plane is landing soon", Erik muttered.
It did not take long, seen Farhan waved his hand from the arrival door of passengers.
"Hi, Rik.", he cried happily almost half screaming.
Erik returned the wave of the hand. Near Farhan and they immediately fistfighted as a greeting of familiarity.
"Wah Mr. Germany is coming home", teased Erik while hugging Farhan for a moment.
"Ah, you can" Farhan fists slowly on Erik's shoulder.
Erik chuckles. Now both are in the car, driving towards Farhan's house.
"Germany how are you, Han?", asked Erik, keeping his driving focus.
Farhan scrunched his forehead, "It's a good German, there's no reason to hahaha", Farhan laughed crisply.
"Lo's basis, what am I?", Erik did not accept Farhan's answer.
"Virus", replied Farhan lightly. Erik pursed his lips disliking.
The journey takes a few hours. Distance Jakarta-Bandung especially on a working day, really feels long, especially with heavy traffic.
Farhan chose to close his eyes after he chatted and joked with Erik. He let go of his fatigue along the way.
Erik's car stopped in front of Farhan's house.
"Han, get up, Han. We've already nyampe nih", Erik patted Farhan's shoulder, he's still good.
Farhan blinked his eyes, rubbed them for a while and stretched his hand muscles.
"Hmm..had arrived again, fast too yes", the answer still looks sleepy.
"Ck, quick fuck. Along the way you sleep, lha me? the driver was alone accompanied by a radio", replied Erik protesting.
Farhan responded with a faint smile. He got off immediately, and Erik helped bring Farhan's suitcase.
"Assalamualaikum.bu.".", Farhan said his greetings when his feet were on the terrace.
"Waalaikumusalam.", answered a woman whose voice was already so Farhan familiar.
Ms. Asri immediately opened the door and welcomed Farhan and Erik.
As soon as the door opened, Farhan immediately hugged his mother. Let go of all the yearning for him.
"Oh God, Han. Thank God you arrived too" said Bu Asri in the warm embrace of his son.
"Yes mom. Farhan kangen at all mommy" he whispered softly.
Ma Asri smiled. He also misses his child so much.
"Ehem.".", Erik bertehem broke the novelty between mother and child.
Bu Asri and Farhan let go of their embrace.
"Bukde, I've got the moss in my suitcase" Erik said.
Ms. Asri smiled, it was Erik's turn to embrace her.
"Thank you son, you've picked up Farhan" said Ms. Asri.
Erik nodded and smiled.
They also entered the house. Erik chose to rest his body on the living room sofa while enjoying a snack that was deliberately prepared by Bu Asri, while Farhan chose to clean himself and tidy up his clothes in the suitcase.
"Come, now we eat together", invite Bu Asri to see Erik and Farhan are ready.
They also enjoyed the dishes at the dinner table. Erik and Farhan look so greedy, Ms. Asri was happy to see it.
"Well, you guys, so voracious. Come on plus, eat a lot, yeah".
"Feeling my bukde is indeed top", praise Erik sincerely.
"Yes, who used to dong his son" replied Farhan proudly.
Erik looked in wonder at Farhan, "Diih, I-I-ku. Heh, this is what Bukde Asri cooks, not lo. The cuisine is delicious", Erik taunted.
"Wah mock this. Next time you try my cooking, no less delicious as the mother's cooking, right mom?", asked Farhan asked for his mother's support.
Ms. Asri just smiled looking at the behavior of the two boys in front of her. The three of them enjoyed their meal.
"Wuuuaahh, full of my stomach" said Erik stroked his stomach gently, then took a piece of melon that was on the family room table.
"Ck, bloat lo ya. He said he was full, but still fit", taunted Farhan.
Erik does not mind Farhan's words, he prefers to enjoy his favorite fruit dessert.
"Han, how are Mr. James and Ms. Tatiana? are they okay?", Ms Asri who came from the kitchen immediately asked her son.
"Thank God their good news, ma'am", Farhan replied shortly.
"Alhamdulillah. I really wanted to go to Germany at that time to see and take care of Elena. I felt bad, until the funeral did not come".
"What's wrong, Mr. James' family understands the condition of the mother here. Do't Elena ya ma'am", Farhan's gaze turned sad.
Ms. Asri smiled faintly, "Surely, son. You are patient, stay strong let Elena be happy there", Ms. Asri gently rubbed Farhan's shoulder and then passed, leaving Erik and Farhan.
Farhan nodded. At first glance, the shadow of Elena's face appeared in her mind.
'I miss, El', his own mind.
"Oh yeah Rik, what's the company?", asked Farhan to switch the conversation.
"All is fine, Han. Our company is running a cooperation project with Wijaya Group company. The investment value is quite large".
Farhan nodded his head.
"Tomorrow, I want to go to work Rik".
"Relaxing doesn't mean I'm quiet, Rik. I'll keep in mind Elena if there's no work. After all, I studied it, consider all my thesis material", replied Farhan surely.
"Ok, tomorrow you can go to the office. Coincidentally I was on duty to Kalimantan. Once he was there, I was overwhelmed actually the same office business".
"Sip if that's it".

Early in the morning Farhan was looking neat, he looked at himself in the mirror and went out of the room for breakfast and rushed to the office.
Farhan drove his car quickly.
"For the real boss at this hour has entered the office" a familiar voice welcomed Farhan's arrival in the office lobby. Yeah, it's Erik.
"Gue misses this office" he replied casually.
"By the way, you also have this hour in the office" asked Farhan astonished.
"Gue comes every morning. I do a lot of work, Han", Erik's turn to answer casually.
The two now ascended to the 15th floor, heading towards the main director's office.
"Well, it feels good to be sitting here again" Farhan said as he occupied the number one seat in the office.
"Welcome back, boss", replied Erik in a welcoming style.
Farhan laughed at the actions of his friend and brother.
They also talked about some of the latest cooperation, office developments and many things.
"Han, it's nine o'clock, I went back to my room first", Erik said goodbye. Farhan nodded his head, he was seriously reading the report file from Erik.
Erik was sitting in his big chair. He went back to checking emails, files and receiving calls.
.bipp.
The phone on Erik's desk rang.
"Yes, what's wrong?".
"Sorry sir, said the receptionist, under which there is a man looking for a father".
"Oh yeah, who?"
"If I don't hear wrong, his name is Ajeng, sir".
"Ok, ask him to come into my room".
Before long someone knocked on Erik's office door. Erik answered and allowed the people outside to enter.
"Hi", said the one who came.
Erik took his eyes off the file he was studying.
"Hey, Ajeng. Welcome and please sit down", Erik welcomes Ajeng's arrival in a friendly manner.
Ajeng nodded, he smiled then sat down on the sofa that was in the room.
Erik was seen calling someone, before long came the incoming OB brought two glasses of warm sweet tea. He passed after Erik thanked him.
"Please drink it" Erik bargained. He is now sitting near Ajeng.
He saw a neat Ajeng with a white shirt, black outer blazer and formal trousers.
'Beautiful', inner Erik.
"Mmm..so mas, about the job offer how is it?", asked Ajeng, disperse the focus of Erik who was enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of him.
"Oh yeah, about that. Mmm.so put it this way, it just so happens that in this office we are looking for people for the IT section. More precisely the web design part. We need people who are creative, loyal, hardworking and experienced to be able to develop this web company. How, you can?", asked Erik staring at Ajeng.
Ajeng paused for a moment, "My basics aren't there anyway, but I'm sure I can. I'm a good and fast learner" he answered confidently.
Erik smiled happily, "Good then. I like your optimism. Your ability to speak foreign languages I'm sure will be very useful. Your work will be assisted by the team. So I hope you get used to team work and targets, yes", Erik explained.
"OK, when can I start working?", asked Ajeng.
"If you're ready, today you can start working".
"Well, I'm ready", replied Ajeng eagerly. A happy smile appeared on her soft lips.
'Aaahh..worrying once he's, Erik's mind again.
"Oh yes, before work, I will introduce you to the big boss in this company. He just came from Germany. Come with me", take Erik.
Without saying much, Ajeng followed.
"Oh yes mas, let it be known that recruitment of employees is done by HRD. But I, why immediately accepted work just like that?", asked Ajeng wonder. He asked as the two of them walked into the main director's room.
Erik stopped his steps, "Only people with certain qualities can face me directly and be accepted to work by me" Erik explained lightly.
Erik continued his steps. Ajeng just nodded, confused.
Erik knocked on the door of the director's room, and there was the sound of someone letting them in.
"Sorry, sir, I've come to bring our new IT staff", Erik opened his voice.
The person the director was referring to turned his chair around and saw who Erik had brought into his room.
"Lho, Farhan?!".
"Ajeng?!"
A pair of eyes met and the two stared at each other in disbelief.
