At eight in the morning we headed to the AJ Foods building. Throughout the journey Amel kept busy with his cell phone. Sometimes he smiles at himself when he sees his sosmed account.
"The ladder is perfect. He's the woman's dream man. It's great that he'll be our boss in the office. I'll be more excited about work!"
"Don't glorify him like that, Mel. You don't know what Rangga really looks like."
I don't know why I let go of talking.
"Huh? What do you mean say that? Do you know him?"
Amel began to raise his tone. Maybe I crossed the line.
"sorry. I didn't mean that. I just reminded you. If you admire someone, admire them naturally. Don't exaggerate!"
Amel grumbling. It's the first time I've criticized Amel about Rangga. I feel bad for him too.
"Don't be mad, Mel. I've apologized." I tried to seduce Amel. As long as we were friends, I never fought with Amel. Why is it only because Rangga, Amel and I became a cold war like this?
"I'm not angry. It's just... I feel like there's something you're hiding from me. What you? Do you know Rangga?"
"What's? No way, Mel! No kidding!" I forced my laughter. Amel looked at me question markingly.
"Don't look at me like that! I'm not lying, Mel. Seriously!!"

AJ Foods Building, France,
Cecilia, Amel and Hana head to the AJ Foods ballroom located on the top floor of the building, which is the tenth floor. There were already many people who had come, even people from outside branches of the city were also present. So far AJ Foods has opened branches in the city of Yogyakarta and Bali. And in recent years expanded by opening a branch in New York.
AJ Foods as a large food company, every year holds an award event for its outstanding employees, who meet the targets set by the company. And this year Cecilia in the prediction will get the award again for the third time.
The roar of music has begun to be heard and it is a sign that today's grand event will soon begin.
Several floodlights were pointed at the main stage.
Seats that are so neatly arranged, are ready to witness a grand event this year at AJ Foods.
Cecilia looked for a seat in her name, which was already arranged by the committee while occasionally looking around. He sat next to Amel and Hannah.
Cecilia started to get nervous. Because he didn't see Alvian. The show started an hour ago. Cecilia was getting unsettled.
He was afraid that people would think there was something between him and Alvian. Because Alvian doesn't usually come to Cecilia's important office.
Cecil finally decided to get away from the crowd and call Alvian's phone.
Tuuutt islandΒ . Phone tone connected. Alvian picked up the phone.
"Hello, Mum. Where are you? Why haven't you arrived yet? The show started earlier." Cecilia grumbling.
"Sorry Cil, it's still on the road. I'll be there in a few minutes."
"alright. I'll wait for you." Cecilia cut off the phone.
While heading back to the ballroom, the host called Cecilia's name.
From his seat, Amel waved, and codified Cecil that he won the award for best manager of the year.
Cecilia seemed surprised, but very happy because her hard work for one year paid off already.
Cecilia took the stage and received a gold medal handed over directly by AJ Foods President, Adi Jaya Santosa.
When he was about to do a speech for the award he received this year, Alvian suddenly appeared from under the stage and immediately went up to accompany Cecilia.
Cecilia, who could not smile at first, was now able to smile with relief because her husband had finally come at the right time.

After the event, Cecilia and Alvian were immediately approached by media crews who wanted to interview the two of them, especially Alvian.
Journalists asked about how Alvian would continue as a member of the legislature.
Cecilia feels uncomfortable because she is surrounded by news seekers who sometimes ask things out of context. Cecil wanted to get away from the crowd of reporters, and while giving a code to Alvian that he did not want to be there, but Alvian hugged Cecil's waist tightly and asked him to smile widely in front of the media.
Understandably, so far they are considered as role models of married couples who are idolized by netizens, because their households look harmonious and compact, and, even though they are busy with their own work.
After the interview Cecilia took Alvian away from the crowd, and headed to the parking lot.
"Next time don't be late like this. I don't want people to think you don't support my career." Cecilia began to vent her frustration.
"I'm sorry. Traffic on holidays is heavy. I hope you understand."
Cecil crossed his arms.
"Don't bend your pretty face like that. You look ugly when you're angry." ledek Alvian.
"What did you say?"
"Smile! I love the sweet smile on my wife's face." Alvian continues to seduce Cecilia.
Cecilia finally smiled at him.
"You'll be prettier if you're always smiling. Oh yeah, is the show over?" Alvian stroked softly on Cecil's face.
"It looks like it's done. But, Mr. President asked me to come to his room first with another manager. He said he wanted to introduce his son who had just returned from America."
"Oh, so."
As he was continuing the conversation, Alvian's phone suddenly rang, and it was from Shasha, his manager.
"Just give it a shot, Mom. From Shasha, right?"
"Yes. Wait a minute, Cil." Alvian gave a distance from where Cecil was standing.
"Hello Sha, what's wrong? Oh, aye. The show's done. Yeah, fine. I'll see you there!"
Alvian went back to Cecilia.
"What's wrong? Shasha told you to come?"
"Yes, there was a sudden filming today. You're not angry, are you?"
"No. Go then! Don't let Shasha wait."
"alright. Let me know when you're home."
Cecilia nodded.
"I go yes, assalamu'alaikum"
"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Be careful on the road, Mom!"
Cecilia looked only at Alvian's body moving away. Alvian headed to his parked car and got into the car. And soon the car drove out of the parking area.
You're the farther away, the more I can't get. Now everything is different. You've come a long way, a long way.
His eyes began to glaze over. There is a sense of pent-up that Cecil wants to get out. In the depths of his heart, he had to be able to admit something. Something heavy but that's the truth.
"I... Will let you go... I'm ready to let you go, starting today..."
And the tears had already flowed down his cheeks without Cecil noticing.

- airports
A handsome man got off a plane that had just come from a foreign flight. The man tidied up his clothes and did not forget to wear sunglasses that would add a masculine impression in him.
He was looking for someone who would pick him up at the airport.
"Sister Rangga!!" someone shouted from a distance.
The man named Rangga earlier, waved at the voice that called out to him and walked over to the owner of the voice.
"Danny!!! You look all grown up." The man named Rangga hugged Danny.
"How are you, brother? Finally, Rangga returned to Indonesia." Danny returned Rangga's embrace.
"I haven't seen this city in a long time. Comeing! I can't wait to get around!"
