"Ardi, look at this."
A tablet computer is pointed to the front of Ardian by his trusted assistant. His eyes glanced at a glance then looked at the photo on the tablet's screen. Ardian who was busy with his work was interested to see. He reached out and asked for the tablet. After sliding two photos on the screen back and forth three times, then again handed over to his assistant. A faint smile appeared on the corner of the man's lips.
"What are you gonna do?" Spell, the assistant trust started the conversation.
"When was the photo taken?" his tan flatly propped the back of his hand against his chin.
"Last noon, Dika happened to be there and took some photos."
"So he's free? Is there a decision?"
"From the information that Dika got, today is the day of the final verdict. And it's certain that the judge approves all the charges."
Ardian smiled faintly, finally this time came as well. The hope will soon be realized. His confidence began to rise.
"Keep watching him. Report any activities as soon as possible. Just make sure he's okay" Ardian said coldly with his well-built body.
"Alright, I'm out first." Also leave the room.
Spell is an assistant too
friend Ardian since college, he very clearly understand how the action of Ardian so far. How Ardian works seems relaxed but neatly structured. Never rash to make a decision that makes Ardian succeed to make this company more developed.
Since making friends with Ardian, Spija faithfully became the place to confide the 'Big Boss'. Until finally he is believed to be an assistant who helps all work in the office to personal affairs.
'EM entertainment', one of the five largest entertainment agencies in Indonesia. This achievement was all thanks to Ardian's hard work and Spij's clever intervention set things up. Ardian was appointed CEO of the company three years ago by his father.
After Spell came out of the room, Ardian opened his desk drawer. Take a picture tucked inside a book. Then call his secretary who is outside.
"Bring a size 4R frame immediately." The call was closed without a word.
Fifteen minutes later the secretary brought her request. Then Ardian paired the photo taken from the book into the frame. Then put the photo on the table facing him. So that he can see the photos while working.
Ardian smiled looking at the photo before him. Remembered when he saved a moment in the past. After a long time the photo was finally able to be displayed. This time he could see with all his heart. Soon the figure in the photo will be in front of him.
Ardian's mind began to travel into the past. The time when his sweet memories began when he was still sitting in High School. From the beginning of the meeting until finally lost contact with the friend. Eight years Ardian has kept a life story that has changed him. Disappointment and regret again enveloped his heart. For eight years, those fond memories he had always remembered.
Ardian holds his picture with Rindu while in the amusement park first. He leaned on his great chair looking up at the ceiling. Slowly the clear liquid slid from his eye patch. He closed his eyes to cut off the flow of warm water. He was a great man who could be weak because of Love.
"Eight years, the time I spent without you is not easy, Miss. During these eight years I have also harbored a love that is getting deeper and deeper. I regretted my late stupidity of realizing true love. I miss you so much. When I found out you were happy, I gave up. Trying to forget and keep our memories. You have suffered so much all this time. If only I had found you earlier, maybe now we'd be happy with our little family."
***
A few days later.
All the employees in the lobby of the Big Entertainment office bowed their respects to their superiors. Ardian walked over without looking at anyone. His body is well proportioned and athletic. His face always looked cold and never smiled. However, that cold face was increasingly emitting an aura of good looks. Her admirers were mostly female employees.
"Where's the goal, boss?" ask the assistant. They're already in the car.
"Ordinary cafe," replied Ardian flatly.
The assistant nodded and gave the driver an order to walk. Ardian leaned close his eyes expelling his tiredness today.
Arriving at the cafe that Ardian was referring to, he ordered his two subordinates to go home and leave the car. Then Ardian ruffled his long hair to cover his ears and forehead. Then take out thick framed glasses and wear them. Within minutes he changed his appearance so that no one would recognize him.
Not long after a female waiters came to him. After ordering a light meal and a drink from the menu, he had time to ask about the whereabouts of Miss. Today's work schedule part time Miss at this Cafe.
"So Miss is not here yet, sir," the waiters replied, thinking that maybe this customer is a fan of Missing.
Ardian nodded and thanked me.
It's almost an hour Ardian's waiting. But misses are not coming. Visitors have also started a lot.
Not long to come up on stage and greeted by cheers of visitors. I miss working as a singer at the cafe. Only Sunday night, the day when the young ones are out relaxing.
Music is also played. Missed her first song. Calmly Ardian listened. The sound of longing is still as it used to be, even now more beautiful in his hearing. Then Ardian called the waiters asking for paper and pen and wrote the song request. Ardian handed him two pieces of paper, the only one with the title of the song. And another one to give to the singer when the song is over.
When reading the first paper, Miss fell silent as if thinking of something. He asked who asked him to sing the song. They refused to tell me before the song was over. Missed to circulate her gaze guessing the person. He soon began to sing.
Shadow lover by Cakra Khan
To you is the owner of a heart I never had
Who came as part of my life story
I love you with all the feeling in my heart
I try to be as you ask
I know you actually know
But you choose as if you do not know
You're hiding my love
Behind the mask of your fake friendship
You made me a shadow lover
To accompany when you feel lonely
For years I have been living my own love story
Ardian.
"Do you remember this song, Rin? The song you used to sing to me. A song that made me realize my love for you. You are right, love will bring happiness and also pain. Love is unpredictable, comes and goes without permission. True love will bind the soul, fill all thoughts, love has its own space in the heart."
"You should know now, that love really binds my soul, fills all my thoughts of you. You said maybe love had come to me but I was not aware. Right, I didn't realize it. My love came late miss, now I'm ready to come for you."
Ardian's view cannot be separated from Missing. She praised the beauty of the woman as much as she used to, only that she now looked more mature. Scratched with sadness on Miss's face, she lived every verse of the song she sang.
A thunderous handclap from the visitor at the end of the song. The sound of Missing is able to bewitch the ears of its listeners, just as it used to be. There is no word of boredom for those who admire it. Then miss receiving another piece of paper. The second paper that Ardian gave. Hates reading.
'I'm here. At the very end of the table by the window, fierce girl.'
'Dodol resek.'
