WHEN I FELL IN LOVE

Chapter 14

I kept humming in my heart, along my way to the shops I had to visit today. I drove my motorcycle very carefully, so that Lela, who was sitting behind me, would still feel comfortable and safe on the way. Yes, of course I am happy today, being able to travel with Lela for a second time. I was not too awkward to occasionally talk to Lela on the way. As a result, I now know a little more about the things Lela likes. Now I know Lela is reading a book called, Pet Sematary. I also already know if Lela prefers Western pop music, compared to East Asian pop music which is currently widely in gandrungi. Lela also had a chance to express her opinion about the Marvel Cinematic Universe films (yes, Lela is a big fan of Marvel films). According to Lela, the ending of the Guardian of Galaxy 2 movie is the most sad. Of course it was a bit against me, because I think the scene when Spiderman's body slowly disappeared because of Thanos's snap in Avengers : Infinity War, was the saddest. I shed tears while watching the scene. But, I don't want to argue with Lela. His opinion I must win.

Drive with someone you like and talk to them along the way, making mileage feel very close. That's how I feel. Without me noticing, I had already reached the front of the Blessing shop.

The Blessing Shop was one of the stores with considerable purchases for the products sold by my company. This shop is also visited quite often. The owner is Ko Acen. Middle-aged man of Chinese descent. He doesn't talk much, I rarely talk to him. I communicate more often with his wife, Cici Melly, to offer the products I sell.

My arrival with Lela to the Blessing shop, enough to make Ko Acen and Ci Melly surprised. Especially when I told them, that now Lela is one of the sales coordinators in my company. I saw Ko Acen's face a little sour. Of course Ko Acen knows that Lela is the son of Mr. Selamet, his biggest competitor in the competition in the world of business buying and selling cake-making materials. I don't know what he was thinking at the time, but I saw him a little distracted by that fact. In contrast to Ci Melly, who can still mince words with Lela and welcome her kindly.

Order I've got, Lela I've introduced, it's enough of my job in the Blessing shop. Now, it's time for me to move on to the next store, the Tuba store. The distance of Tuba store and Blessing store is not far, only five minutes travel time by motorcycle. The name of this store is a little unique, Tuba, which actually stands for Bones Onion, one of the areas in Lampung Province. The owner is named Mr. Ridwan.

Mr. Ridwan is very fond of talking politics, with anyone. I find it a little hard to keep up with him talking, when he's talking about politics. Understandably, I do not pay much attention to the world of poetry in this country. So I don't like it when it comes to political discussions. But thankfully, today I brought Lela. Mr. Ridwan is a close friend of Mr. Selamet, his father Lela. Finally, Mr. Ridwan also talked more about Lela's new job. I also invite Lela to intervene to offer products to Mr. Ridwan. Yes, they are familiar and Mr. Ridwa also, certainly understand if Lela is still a little clumsy, when offering products.

While holding a black plastic map, in which there are papers containing a list of products sold by our company. Lela asked for an order to Mr. Ridwan. Every now and then Lela glanced at me who was standing not far from her. Her face was slightly flushed, yes, maybe she was still shy. Mr. Ridwan also, occasionally smiling amusedly, every Lela mispronounced the name of the product, or the price. For me, this is the best way to learn. Marketing is like art. There is a theory that lays out procedures and tricks to be able to. But it may not be enough to make us master. Because in the world of marketing, we also need instinct to be great, and instinct can only be obtained by way of direct practice in the field. This is what I'm teaching Lela, instinct. Yes, my hope is that one or two months in the future people will no longer see Lela as a lucky person because she is the son of Mr. Selamet. I want later, everyone looks at him with a feeling of respect, because he is the leader of the instant cake flour sales team, at PT. Indonesian Source Essay.
