CEO And The Twins
Rise up

"What ... Baby, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly decide I was just like that? What's wrong?" Ian was surprised by Vika's words just now.

"You heard clearly what I said, didn't you?" Vika folded her hands on her chest and leaned her body forward. His face looked very serious looking at his lover.

Shut up for a moment, Ian smiled. "You're just kidding, aren't you, sweetie?" The man tried to grab her boyfriend's arm slowly.

Vika brushed it off violently. "Do I look like I'm kidding you?" He raised both his eyebrows. "Stupid!"

"Darling, why are you talking that hard? You've never spoken harsh words to me before." The man was so surprised by the way the woman spoke that he turned rude as if he had just met another Vika.

"Because I told you, you're stupid! I can't stand you anymore!"

"Can't stand what, honey?" Ian did not understand.

"Yes, can't stand going out with poor Caucasians like you! Yes ... Your work is good ... Marketing Manager, but if I can get more, why should I hang with you, you idiot!" the woman's taunts returned with great emphasis. He said that so Ian could clearly understand what he was saying this time and no longer come looking for him. Immediately he grabbed the bag that was on the table and left the place.

Ian grabbed the feeding napkin and rubbed his mouth quickly. He threw it on the table in annoyance.

He thought he had found a heart patch. A beautiful golden-hearted woman who was willing to wait for him until he reached a better position. Or at least accept what he is now.

But the woman was just a fraud. Her sweet mouth all this time was just a cover, to wait for a man better than her and then decide on the pretext, he was not as good as the man she chose now.

Really, Ian felt that he had been deceived completely by Vika while his heart was already adrift. The wound was so deep that he could not stop halfway. His heart shattered into pieces leaving a puddle of water in the corner of the eye.

Yes, he had already liked the woman so hard to believe, the woman was able to say rude to end all the good memories they had passed together. It hurts too much to swallow by yourself.

Ian must now stop wishing, the woman is back because of love.

----------+++---------

In one corner of a fancy restaurant, two mature men in their early 30s laughed loosely. They are reminiscing about the old story of the two of them who reappeared when they met again.

"Ho, ho, ho, do you remember those days?" said the man in front of him. He relaxed by folding his legs to the side.

"of course. Because I was free to express myself then. Now wow, to do that alone I have to think twice. What if my kids and my wife see it? What would they think if they knew I was as silly as I used to be ...." He chuckles.

"Mmh, is that it?" A handsome man who has occupied the CEO's chair, although has a firm face but still shows his soft side. Proven by his friendly manner of speaking.

"Eat him Ian, get married! So you know how quiet the house is when you get home. You are of American-Russian descent anyway. Indonesia is your paradise to find the Muslim woman you want. Isn't that your purpose for coming to Indonesia."

Ian smiled as he lowered his head. "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes ..," he said slowly, tilting his head.

"Why since breaking up with the old one, haven't you found a new one yet?" Vincent, an American boulevard who is now back in Jakarta after having moved to Bali, questions the solitude of his friend. He folded his arms around his chest and seriously looked at Ian as he leaned forward. "Hey, seriously! You can't find one."

Ian shook his head. "Eitherway. I was seriously chasing money until I realized, it's been 5 years since that incident. I didn't realize it was that long."

"Well, now(nah, now). Perhaps you have passed the woman while she herself may be near you."

Vincent finished his meal by rubbing his mouth slightly with a napkin and putting it on the side. "How about we continue our conversation in my office, mmh?"

"But I'm doing a lot of work."

"Ah, forget that for a moment. Your work will remain even if you postpone it until tomorrow. I know that because I'm also the CEO. Sometimes take a break or leave because workers like us are quite busy. We must refresh our brain and body in order to be able to maximally work. What say?"

Ian would not give up. He just wants to relax and get to know the world that surrounds him.

----------+++---------

The two friendly bule again sat on Vincent's couch in the study.

Ian again circulated his gaze a second time at that huge space. Quite comfortable and well-organized. "So you moved to work just because you want to move to Jakarta, right?"

"Well, although Bali is quite beautiful but my wife does not want to be far from her parents so I had to change jobs to be able to come back here."

"Mmh, it's quite comfortable also your work space." Ian leaned his back and stretched his hands on the back of the sofa.

I heard the door knocking. An officer came in to face Vincent. A veiled and bespectacled woman and her .... "Sorry sir, here's the report for this month." He lifted his glasses slightly above his nose and handed the files to the man.

"Yes, thank you." Vincent received it on the couch.

The woman .. Ian's eyes couldn't blink. Glasses, hijab .. ah! Without it, it is very similar. Uh, but wait a minute. She's not as pretty as Vika. Ah, why is that fucking name now called again, ck! Mmh ... His eyes are different. His eyes are softer than my ex's. Yes, he is more suitable to be called an ex because my memory of him should have been put in the trash!

Yeah, that's a great place for an ex.

No, don't remember him anymore. Ian turned his eyes.

The woman then went out and closed the door. Ian chatted with his friend again, but throughout the conversation his mind kept swirling around imagining the woman.

The woman may see her existence in just a few seconds but for her the meeting made her unable to forget the woman. A very effective meeting.

Ian, are you crazy? Are you looking for the same person, or do you still love your ex, mmh? You are still ....

"Ac...oi! You daydreaming?" Vincent flicked his hand in front of his best friend's eyes.

"Mh, may I know what his name is?"
