Asiyah End Times
Round Table Conference

Saturday night.

Ba'da isha.

Like a round table conference in the Dutch colonial era. Asiyah is the Indonesian state party that is being wronged, while the Pak Sendi party is the colonial state, namely the Netherlands.

The cafe table was arranged in such a way as to form a roundabout. Mr. Jendi arranged everything, so that tonight they could talk to each other face to face with each other.

The luxurious food and drinks that have been served are also coolers their minds, so that everyone present can speak calmly and be friendly with their leisure and forget the heat of their hearts in the past.

As if to melt the atmosphere that had been frozen due to his actions, Pak Sendi also presented his best smile in welcoming the arrival of Asiyah and her assistants.

Yaah.. Mr. Jendi has come first. He was with two assistants as well.

Asiyah who came later, found Pak Jendi with her warm smile. It seems like a smile of peace. The smile that seemed to symbolize the exit that Asiyah wanted.

"Hallooo Asiyah, assalamu'alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh," said Mr. Sendi with his challenge. Immediately stand up from his seat. Uniting his two palms. Gave a gesture of honor to Asiyah.

"Ayoo ayoo Asiyah, Caca, Cita, your arrival has been a long time we've been," that smile came from Mr. Jendi's cold lips. Please allow the three of them to immediately enjoy tonight's meal.

"Wa'alaykumussalam" replied Asiyah, Caca and Cita.

"Thank you, Mr. Jendi, don't bother" Asiyah said. Replying with his smile.

But Asiyah was not just fooled by what she saw. Not wanting to be tricked twice, this time Asiyah would face Pak Jendi with great care. No more giving her complete trust. Trust is what has been agreed upon in black over white, that's the principle. Everything will go as professional as possible. Yes this is a work circle, indeed Asiyah should be professional from the beginning.

Asiyah, Caca and Cita took their respective positions, in the round chair, following the shape of the table. This is really a round table, exactly.

Pak Jendi's gaze was fixed on Asiyah's face. Small smile.

"Ayokkk. We immediately eat yes, the conversation we discuss while eating yes, let it be more relaxed," Pak Jendi said with his pressing proposal.

"Marii.." said Cita.

Others followed a stale berbasa which then took the portion of food and drinks respectively.

Tangg. tingg. tannggg.. The sound of spoons and forks collided with each other with the luxurious ceramic plate.

Long inaudible voice, suddenly, "Hhmm. sorry before, sir, while eating we discuss yes." said Asiyah slip her words.

The round table participants suddenly slowed down their eating. Mr. Jendi and the others instantly stared at Asiyah's face. It seems they understand very well what Asiyah will say.

"So what about our movie, sir?" connect Asiyah with her question to Pak Jendi. Without making small talk. With a little pressure of his anger, but Asiyah tried to cover up her emotional attitude.

Hmmmm.. Mr. Jendi just gave a smile.

"Yes.. You take it easy Asiyah, everything I've arranged, just the best for you and for all of us," while continuing to eat, Mr. Jendi was friendly with his smile again.

Asiyah was still trying to be relaxed. Trying to guess what Pak Jendi would do to him.

Like having the same thoughts as Asiyah, Caca and Cita stared at each other for a moment, then continued eating again.

"meaning Sir? Is there nothing we should compromise on tonight?" asiyah asked, wanting to immediately resolve her curiosity as soon as possible.

"Yes everything I have arranged Asiyah, there is nothing to be compromised anymore" replied Mr. Jendi.

Asiyah fell silent again.

"Sudaaahh. yaa all calm, ayookk ayookk, eat again," continued Mr. Jendi with rest.

Asiyah finished her meal. Closing both spoons and forks in his hands. It seems like she is starting to lose her appetite.

"Sir," Caca, who was sitting next to Asiyah, held Asiyah's hand, gestured for her to remain patient for a moment.

Pak Jendi looked towards Asiyah and Caca. Smiling knot. Reversing his body, then immediately picked up some sort of file that was on the empty seat next to him. The file he had arranged neatly in a bag map.

"Asiyah, please take it home, please" said Mr. Sendi as he extended the file to Asiyah. With his best smile again.

Asiyah slowly took the file. "What is this file, sir?" ask Asiyah, astonished.

"Already, not any files, will be reread everything before signed," explained Mr. Jendi.

"Okay sir," Asiyah momentarily read the cover titles of the files one by one.

Oohh turns out this is a letter of agreement between Mr. Jendi and himself. New screenplay files and other files related to the movie they were working on yesterday. Thankfully, hopefully the contents are in accordance with what Asiyah wants and also Pak Jendi certainly, so as not to happen again the name of cold war between them.

"Read, save," Asiyah ordered Caca to immediately secure the files.

"We live in this world only temporarily, cheating is not the right way to seek sustenance, is not it Asiyah?" said Mr. Sendi while finishing his meal. Caca, Cita and the others, also finished their dinner.

Asiyah just kept quiet. With a face that still seems to harbor disappointment in Mr. Jendi.

"I understand very well Asiyah what you feel when you are forced to do something that goes against your conscience the other day" said Mr. Sendi.

"It is not uncommon in the entertainment world, many people do various ways to reap huge profits, one of which is to create various scandals."

"Even worse to sacrifice his faith for the name of money" continued Mr. Jendi.

"But not everything is like that, is it sir?" connect Asiyah.

"Yaaa. and one of those people is you, Asiyah," replied Mr. Jendi. Still presenting his best smile to Asiyah. Stop for a moment from the activity enjoying the dessert menu tonight.

Asiyah just silently heard that remark.

"I hope, the cooperation between us will not break up just because of trivial problems like this, money," continued Mr. Sendi as he signaled 'money' to Asiyah, rubbing on the index finger and thumb of his left hand.

"Oh yes, tonight I want to say something happy for me."

"Next month in the Lord, I'm getting married, I hope you can all come, this is a private invitation, I don't invite many people, only the closest and special ones," connect Mr. Joints.

"God, alhamdulillah, congratulations Sir, may it be good until the day H, in shaa Allah we will come," said Asiyah, who seemed happy with this good news.

"Alhamdulillah finally yes sir, congratulations sir, we are happy to hear this news," continued Cita.

"Thank God" said Caca.

They all finished their dinner, along with the dessert menu that was served earlier.

Alhamdulillahot.

The bright spot seems to be pocketed soon. Good news from Mr. Jendi also makes the atmosphere more melted. Asiyah can't wait to go home to read all the files Mr. Jendi gave tonight. Asiyah was sure that no one would disappoint her again from within the contents of the file.
