Blind Date's
66. How many girls ?

...66. Extra Mile's...

“Spirit! Lo, definitely can.” Sinta gives motivation to her best friend. 45 Minutes before the interview starts.

“Thanks, Sino. Whatever the result I also do not expect high.”

“Yesterday I got a leak from HRD staff if there are 2 interviews. GM HRD and users represented by directors,” explained Sinta.

“Kok lo know?”

The mother of one child was just grinning. Then, “Is .. hehe.”

He shook. Splash.

The interview session is for 2 days. Yesterday and today. While he gets his turn now.

“Gue believe, you got this!” Sinta is back to support. Made him smile. Then his best friend said, “hari this we eat-eat.” Instantly the lips that were lifted were pursed.

Sinta. “Gue doain from here. Good luck.” Patted his shoulder. Take him to the elevator door.

He entered the iron box. Shortly before the elevator door closed, Sinta smiled and held out her 2 thumbs.

Sasmaya replied the same thing with 2 thumbs.

Arriving at the board room he waited outside. Ferdi seemed to approach him. “Aready, Sas?” tanyakanya.

He nodded.

“Best of luck.” Ferdi menukas's. Pray. Before leaving her.

“Thank you, Fer,” reply with a smile.

Sit for about 10 minutes. The HRD staff called him. He told her to enter one of the rooms.

First interview. As an interviewer is GM HRD. Walk for about 40 minutes. All questions regarding general matters relating to his curriculum vitae.

Get out of there, Sasmaya waited. Before finally he directed the HRD staff to enter the second room. To do the next interview.

He never expected. If the user is ... Gamas. Yes, the man sat in front of him next to Affan as his immediate superior.

Faced with a strange situation, suddenly made his heartbeat beat fast. Cold sweat. Nervous. He met with Gama. Trying to control themselves. Shift his eyes to Affan.

As his boss straight away, Affan started a conversation. Introducing Gama as one of the shareholders of GPP.

He tried to pull the corner of his lips though faint.

The questions that came from Affan about the things he had been doing in GPP. The problem and how to solve it.

All these questions he answered smoothly and according to what he had been doing so far. Although Affan seemed relaxed conditioned the situation in the room containing only 3 people. But it still can't make it relax.

Even when the boss asks how to be a good leader when there are problems with team work. How to overcome it and provide a form of sanctions if one of them makes a mistake.

For a moment he looked at Gama. The man nodded small and smiled at him.

He had a discussion about this with Gama. Even the man explained in detail. So that he can answer the last question from Affan.

The question of Gama is only 1. “What are your plans for the next 5 years with Gama Pustaka?”

...***...

Initially Gama refused to be a team interviewer prospective editor in chief of GPP. He knew Sasmaya to be one of his participants. But Affan assured, if this is one way he began to improve their relationship.

“Gue sure, he will not avoid,” Affan said. Make sure that what he believes does not miss.

After he recounted his meeting with Sasmaya yesterday accidentally in papa's office. The woman won't see it. Avoided it. So, he could conclude that Sasmaya did not want to meet him yet. Most likely even refused.

The worst thing went through his mind. What if Sasmaya stopped following the interview after seeing it. Goes away. Opting out of the company. It could be his anger like when he did not come to attend the invitation. Or at worst even if he was scolded, slapped probably. Like the barbarian woman he had seen when disappointed in his partner.

Because Gama knows his mistake is very big.

But the bad thoughts did not happen. Sasmaya calmly answered. Put aside the existing problems.

He was stunned, when the answers of this woman were unexpected. This added to his admiration for Sasmaya. To the extent that he felt stupid, if releasing Sasmaya just like that.

One that adds to his belief. If the answer to what he heard this time. If Sasmaya still chose to be in the GPP, it means he must fight for the woman.

“What are your plans for the next 5 years with Gama Pustaka?”

...***...

“Stay working according to my responsibilities at Gama Pustaka. Attempting to achieve goals and objectives. Continuously dig into the ability to improve performance. Of course, I don't work alone. There is a team that needs to be solid. Which will always support one with the other.”

Gama and Affan spontaneously applauded. Stand up and reach out, “Oke, Sas. Thank you,” Affan.

Alternately he shakes Affan. Then Gama. With a frown on the forehead a glance. Not realizing that his hands and Gama were still shaking each other.

“Gue stay,” Affan leave them.

While the awkwardness is back. Slowly he took off his hand. Clean up the notes on the desk and get ready to leave.

“Sas, we need to talk.”

Shoulders up. Due to his heavy breathing. He closed his eyes for a moment.

...***...

Sit next to the man. I don't know where Gama's gonna take him. Both were long enough in the dark. His eyes were straight, occasionally looking to the left. Outside the glass window.

Gama focused on driving his car. Of course while looking for ways to melt the atmosphere.

Half the way the two are still reluctant to talk. Confused, I don't know where to start.

“I'll take you somewhere,” said the man. Obtained him. Then move on to looking ahead.

Cold place. Overgrown with some shady trees. His steps continued to follow the man who was walking in front, opening the gate of the iron fence.

Seen some gravestones there. In a not so large area. It looks like a family funeral. Gama took her to one of the different-looking headstones himself. Made of white marble. Equipped with a description of who occupied it.

Cyntia Clara's.

“Cyntia my future wife,” says Gama. The two stood side by side beside the resting place of Cyntia.

“His face bears a resemblance to yours. But your personalities are opposite.” Gama. Closing eyes. “I don't mean to compare you. Because you and Cyntia are equally valuable people to me.”

Pause. Silent. There was a dry foliage, scattered by the wind.

“I feel guilty for him. Not understanding what he wants. Until the time of the accident occurred .. a few days ahead of the wedding. Everything cannot be repaired and repeated.

“He left with disappointment. While I was left with regret,” said Gama sedu. The exact day Gama and Cyntia were supposed to get married. Cyntia must die. Go away for ever.

Gama looked down inside. Shed tears. No longer able to speak. Just shakes, then says softly. “It's all my fault ...”

It's perpendicular. Looking at that man who was still bowed bitterly.

Consciousness moved. Slowly he slipped his fingers between Gama's fingers. Glued.

Gama looked at him.

He nodded.

The accident was the past that caused the man to be traumatized. Prolonged remorse. Fear of the same thing happening about marriage. Then keep the fear for years to not realize that he is trapped in an irrational situation. If faced with the originator of the fear.

Avoiding the best way that Gama has done so far. Often confronted with an object that scares him. Although as a normal man, he also wants and has love. But that feeling had to be overcome.

Opted back. Taking the safe path and saving her from the negative energy that made her sick.

“We go home,” says Gama. After I told her her condition. His past with Cyntia. They close it with prayer.

Sasmaya chose to sleep on her way back to Jakarta. He still chooses a lot of silence.

While the man driving it occasionally stole a glance at the woman next to him. His lips are broken, even if they are not perfect. With Sasmaya being nearby at the moment. That alone pleased his heart.

Gama hoped that in the future he could see Sasmaya like this.

If during the trip it feels long and far away. The opposite when I go home. So quick. Honestly, Gama was not satisfied looking at Sasmaya this close. He still misses.

Park the car in the apartment parking area. Removing the seat belt. The man's sense of vision did not shift in the slightest from the woman who was fast asleep beside him.

“I'm sorry,” Oozed Gama. “Give me a chance once again,”. Slowly lay his head on the steering wheel.

Until the ringing of Gama's phone screamed loudly. He refused the call.

Actually the man was disappointed, when Dani handed him some money in an envelope. Said Dani, “From Mbak Sas, Pak.” He can guess, if the money is a return on Sasmaya apartment interior renovation expenses. Although Dani didn't say what money for.

Gamma also felt guilty. Until this, Sasmaya still chose to live in an apartment. Although Sasmaya seems fine with her mother, but she is sure, they are not okay.

“I'm sorry,” back Gama lirih regret.

Almost 15 minutes Gama looked at Sasmaya. Until his phone rings again. Dani called.

With lazy, Gama said, “Ya.”

“Pak, there is a meeting in Zoon at 5 this afternoon.” The secretary reminded. Although he was on leave, but Gama advised that important agendas that must be done to be reminded. Except for the 2 days before the wedding until 2 days after the celebration was held.

This means that Dani only gets time off from all office activities for 5 days.

“Ya, I know, Dan.” Of course Dani also makes his superior schedule on tablet pc. Which will sound and remind according to the time that has been arranged by his secretary. And the alarm clock went off the same time Dani called her.

Gamma sees a digital clock on the dashboard. There are 30 minutes left, he thought. He got out of the car. Opens door. “Sas,” lowered, patting Sasmaya's cheek slowly. Woke him.

He opened his eyes slowly. Graze.

The man is menukas, “We have arrived.”

Upholding back. Hook his bag on his shoulder. He just said, “Thank you,” then left Gama.

“Sas,” call Gama. He looked back. “Thank you.” With a smile she offered sincerely to the woman.

He just stared at the man for a moment. Then pass.

Gama knew that Sasmaya needed time to get back to him. And he will be patient waiting for that moment to come. At least, he was glad Sasmaya no longer avoided him.
