“Pak Arya, I can ask?” permission, said Siska carefully.
The meeting was over at exactly 4pm. The client had just left the meeting room a few minutes ago. As a gift because the meeting went smoothly, Arya wanted to treat her employees to eat out.
The employees are very excited because the tract in Singapore is of course different because the price is much more expensive if the currency rate is also compared. This time, the deal was very valuable to them.
Each of them just came out to just breathe fresh air for a while. Yes, the air in the meeting room is polluted because it is full of tension. Two of them returned to their rooms to change clothes, one to the toilet, and another tried to pour out their fatigue with a whip outside.
Siska had already finished making a reservation at the place Arya had chosen. He just had to wait for the four people to come back and they could leave. They plan to stop by a shopping mall to buy by - because tomorrow they will be back by morning flight.
“Hn.”, Arya answered briefly while continuing to check some documents that were on her laptop.
Although this meeting was completed, of course he still had a number of teams with different projects - different ones that must be handled.
“How does Pak Arya get married to Dinda? Mr Arya's dating? Meet where? Ah no - no. Hm, why did Mr Arya hide that Mr Arya was married again?”, initially Siska was very careful. But over time he added so many questions.
“Not that I gave you a chance to ask. It's over his chance.”, reply Arya.
“Yah's.. Mr. Arya, just one.”, Siska said in an imploring tone.
“I definitely couldn't sleep all night thinking this. Yesterday I had trouble sleeping.”, continued Siska.
“Why can't you sleep thinking about my personal affairs. Just think about your girlfriend. You guys really are better?”, asked Arya while still looking at her laptop screen.
From the outside, Arya does look cold and difficult to approach especially for her subordinates. It took a long time also for Siska to be this familiar with Arya. Things not many employees know in the office, even fellow Business and Partners team.
Perhaps they are confused, why Siska can bear to be Aryan's secretary. At first Siska thought so. It had probably been hundreds of times that he doubted whether he could last a long time with this job.
But, as time went on, she began to find out, Arya wasn't that bad. Even Siska could learn a lot from this man.
‘Luckily he is handsome and authoritative, otherwise, maybe Siska could not survive until now’, so think - think that there is a thought.
Aryan personality in the world of work makes only people who are resilient can be around. Even so, a handsome face and his arrival can be one of the motivations that become the first point people want to survive. ‘Handering.’, so sometimes - sometimes that is in Siska's mind.
“Pak Arya don't want me to shut up? Let's just say the answer to my question is wages to shut up.”, said Siska offering.
“Close your mouth for?”, asked Arya astonished.
“`Hm.. It's not that Mr. Arya hid Pak Arya's marital status. Now I know, meaning Mr. Arya should shut my mouth dong. Isn't that so?”, explained Siska.
“Heh... You think why do I casually kiss my wife when there is you?”, said Arya.
“Eh?”, Siska is getting confused.
“Contact others. We're leaving now. I have to call my wife early, so our dinner has to be done early. Understood?”, Arya said smashing the documents she held onto Siska's head slowly.
“Oh?”, Siska stroking - elus her head.
*******
Today passed slowly. Dinda seems to have seen her phone a hundred times. Fortunately, Arya gave him a message, otherwise Dinda might be able to sulk again. Dinda has been counting the hours from now on.
He wants to spend the time he wasted for punishing Arya. Yeah, that punishment turned out to be like a punishment for him, too.
Drrrttt Drrttttt
Dinda's phone is back. The ringtone signifies an incoming call. Dinda put her phone on the nightstand because she wanted to sleep.
‘Hm? Wasn't Arya already calling. Why call again, yeah. Don't tell me he wants to let you know that his return has been postponed? I will not forgive him if that is so.’, said Dinda while trying to reach her phone on the nightstand.
He was too lazy to move because he was already sleepy.
“Eh? Whose number is this? I don't know. No need to lift it.”, said Dinda while lowering the volume of the phone and putting it back on the nightstand.
Drrrrrrttt Drrrrrrt
His phone vibrated again. Dinda tries to ignore him because of a call from a number she doesn't know anymore.
Twice he ignored her. The third call, Dinda gave up and picked him up.
He wondered who called him this night.
“Halo..”, greet the voice that is across there.
Dinda still hasn't answered because she's trying to recognize the voice of the person who contacted her. The number is not stored in Hp Dinda. Of course, this made him curious.
“Halo? This is Dinda?”'s number, said the voice of a woman across the street.
“Iya? Who am I talking to?”, asked Dinda finally let out her voice.
“I'm Jessica.”, reply the woman.
“Jessica? Sorry you seem to have misconnected. I don't know anyone named Jessica.”
“This is true with Dinda, right? His wife mas Arya?”, asked Jessica to hunt because Dinda sounded like closing her phone immediately.
‘Mas? Why did he call Arya mas ‘mas’? Other than family, no one else has ever called Arya mas with ‘mas’.’, thought Dinda inwardly.
“Yes, he is my husband. Sorry who is this? Looks like I don't know you at all.”, asked Dinda.
“Huf....”, the woman was heard sighing heavily.
Dinda was so confused because instead of answering the question, the woman was silent. Then, not how long he hung up on her.
“Oh? What - what the hell is this woman. He called me night after night, then didn't say anything - what and just let out a heavy sigh? Then, why did he even call ‘mas’ to Arya mas? Recognize where? Brother not. I remember that there was no cousin of Aryan named Jessica. Oh, no, maybe a prankster. I want to sleep.”, said Dinda without taking a headache.
He put his phone back on the nightstand and laid his body again. He has become easily sleepy lately. It was only 10pm and his eyes were already very heavy.
*******
At 8am after breakfast, Dinda was ready with her bag and nametag. Like the days before, he had been steady to the office. Today Mr. Dika, Mr. Erick, and Mba Rini will have a meeting outside. So, employees in the DD division can be more free.
The Sacred Gang, Andra, Bryan, Fas, Dinda, and Delina had already agreed to eat out today. Since the bosses are not in place, they can be free to have a longer lunch. They plan to dine at a famous Japanese restaurant that just opened franschise.
The queue was quite long, so they should have been out since 11am. Dinda is very happy with small events like this. In accordance with the expectations of office life when he was in college first. Sometimes seniors also give spoilers and according to Dinda, almost 80% of it is in accordance with the life he is living now.
The difference is, she did not expect that she married sooner and is even now pregnant. Overall, everything is similar.
“You?”, Dinda said as she looked at the ready Ibas on the porch.
He rarely showed up this morning. It's impossible to see Ibas at this hour. And today he was ready in front of the terrace with a style that Dinda thought was a little excessive.
“Where are you?”, asked Dinda as soon as she saw Ibas in front of her.
“I am the body that will take you to the office?”, said Ibas while posing.
“Hm?”
“In short, Mama and Papa have a show outside the city from the morning. Mr. Cecep. Mba Andin will also be leaving soon because there is business. So, mama told me to take you.”, explained Ibas.
“Hm.. I can ride ojek online.”, said Dinda.
“No.. no. said Mama, you can no longer ride the online motorcycle from now on. You are pregnant . So, it must be driven by a professional driver who knows the state of the passengers, like me and Mas Arya. But, since Arya is not here. So, I drove.”, a pretty complicated and lengthy explanation from a Baskara Pradana.
“I didn't know that you could be a submissive child with a parent's message.”, replied Dinda.
“More precisely I comply with Aryan's orders. Mas Arya made sure that if there is no Mr. Cecep, I have to take you. In exchange, I can borrow 1 shoe and his shirt. You know how difficult it is to borrow Arya.” gold clothes, explained Ibas who made Dinda finally understand.
“You want a date out of this? Why dress in this style? It's still morning.”, Dinda said again.
“Who. Who knows if there are women who are aware of my good looks in the office. In your office there are many beautiful girls - beautiful.”, said Ibas.
“Hah.. it turns out..”, said Dinda while shaking her head.
“Yes already, let's go up. Om will take you and your mama, yes.”, said Ibas while glancing at the flat stomach of Dinda.
Dinda could only let out her smile and obeyed Ibas' orders to get into the car immediately. Not stopping there, once in the car, Ibas immediately took his sunglasses and put them on.
“Wait, I just realized, this is Arya's car. He already knows you're in his car?”, asked Dinda.
Not two or three times he heard the commotion because Ibas continued to use Aryan goods. Arya is very mature and authoritative when in the office. But if he has faced his sister, he can be very childish.
“Oh.. certainly not.”
“Terus?”
“Hah.. It's up to you.’, replied Dinda had given up on this sister-in-law.
“You have a friend who can be introduced to me no?”, asked Ibas?
“Hmph... If you are looking for a partner, I have introduced you to my friend for a long time. But Bas, aren't you acting like this because you still can't move-on from your ex?”, Dinda said.
“Oh? Which ex?”, asked Ibas confused.
“Which some time ago we accidentally met in the cinema? You even act like you're your new boyfriend. Isn't that because you like it so much?”
“I'm definitely Arya mas. It's hard to forget his ex. Oops.”, Ibas realized that he had spoken wrongly.
He could feel a sharp gaze from Dinda towards him.
“Take it easy, Din. I dare guarantee that Arya mas is already under your control.”, said Ibas hyperbola.
“Whatever I can control Arya.”
“You have not been affected by whispers - negative whispers if Arya mas still have feelings with mba Sarah, right?”, said Ibas.
Dinda did not answer. Not because he didn't believe or doubt. After a while he was not paying attention to the direction of Ibas's speech because he saw something beautiful being played in the store they passed. Baby clothes shop. Dinda was focused on seeing that.
“Hah? You really still have thoughts there?”, asked Ibas surprised.
“Eh? What did you say?”
“You still think that Arya mas still have residual feelings to mba Sarah?”, asked Ibas again.
“Who. Only Arya and Yang Di mas know.”
“You've been unaffected, right?”
“Hm. lie if I say no. But, I want to try to believe 100% in Aryan mas. After all, he seems too busy to cheat.”, said Arya.
Without feeling it, they have arrived at the office. Their chat during the trip makes the hustle and bustle of congestion does not give a significant effect.
“Wah.. It seems like this is my first time to the Aryan mas office. Cool also you Din can intern at this office.”, said Ibas who came down.
Unlike Arya who had to drop Dinda off in a different building, Ibas seemed to casually drop Dinda off at the front stop of the office. Dinda also behaves normally without anxiety. Even Ibas got out of the car.
To be more precise, the two of them were completely unconscious. If Dinda is traveling with Arya, maybe she can be aware that Arya is her husband and they still haven't publicized the relationship.
But with Ibas? Both seem relaxed.
“Morning, Dinda!”, Delina who just got off the shuttle bus at the stop greeted Dinda.
“Oh, morning mba Delina.”, reply Dinda.
At first, Delina was not aware of the existence of Ibas at all. But, when the man was next to Dinda, she wanted to ask. Although only through code like elbowing Dinda's arm.
“Oh? Ah... he.. introduce him Ibas, my sister.”, said Dinda finally realized that they had forgotten an important reality.
“Oh? Not that your sister's called Arga, huh? Hm.. Is that Bryan's sister? Well I forgot.”, said Delina confused.
“Hem. Yes, cousin.”, Dinda explained.
“Ya already, then. Thereafter.”, continued Dinda while pushing Ibas away.
However, the child's expression seemed to say that he still did not want to be expelled from there. He menoel - noel Dinda in the hope that his brother-in-law knew that he wanted to be introduced to his friend named Delina.
“Bas, you have a job after this. Already there go home.”, said Dinda while dragging Ibas into his car.
“Kalatin.”, Ibas said whispering in Dinda's ear.
“What?”
“Known the same, your friend.”, urged Ibas.
“You're crazy, yeah. Sana go home.”, whispered Dinda as she continued to push her sister-in-law to get into her car immediately.
“Sepupu? You think I'm your cousin? May I introduce myself as a sister-in-law? Maybe I'm telling you I'm Baskara Pradana, he knows. Arya has a good position in the office. Your friend must know who ‘Pradana’ is.”, Ibas said confidently.
“Iba…. You..”
“Eat him first. Cousin, step-sister? So whatever I'm ready.”, whispered Ibas again.
Dinda forced her smile and finally gave up. He was willing to introduce Delina to Ibas.
“He.. Oiya, mba Del. I know, this is my cousin, his name is Ibas. The name doesn't need to know. Ibas, this is Delina my office friend.”, said Dinda introduced by force.
Ibas face immediately sumringah when Dinda finally gave up and gave him the opportunity to get acquainted with his friend.
“Then, see you later. Already there go home.”, Dinda gave a hard code so that Ibas immediately take off from there.
“Okay... See you later, Del.”, Ibas said confidently.
Though clearly - obviously Dinda just called Delina with ‘mba’. Ibas and Dinda. Ibas should have called him ‘Mba’ as well. But, I don't know where to learn to woo. He called Delina directly by name. That certainly made Delina impressed.
*******
“Wah Din, you never told me you had a cousin rich saucy Ibas.”, said Delina.
“Eh? Haha. because I rarely - rarely meet him mba. It was also a coincidence. It was the first and last time he took me to the office.”, said Dinda.
“Loh? Often - often also gapapa kok Din. I thought it was your girlfriend. I'm just disappointed. Cousin turned out. But really like Din?”, said Dinda.
“Hahaha.. Yes. mba.”
“Ohiya, mba Delina was on the shuttle. Tumben?”, asked Dinda.
“Ah..my car was acquired by my brother Din. Argh.I hate him so much. Sucks.”, said Delina.
“How can I mba? Doesn't it, you have your own?”, said Delina.
“Since the broken first, it has been repaired once eh relapse again. Trus with his strategy, could - papa could lend my car to him. Though it was my car.Jadilah I was picked up by him now, but the pain just to be fast, the rest I took the shuttle. Hah...”, Delina sighed.
“But the vibe is similar - it looks like someone, huh? Hm... who is it?”, asked Delina suddenly - arriving back to the previous topic while thinking.
“Hah? Who?”, asked Dinda confused.
“It... your cousin.”, reply Delina.
“Hahaha.. It can be similar to who, mba. Maybe you saw it wrong. Oiya, later we will eat at the Japanese restaurant?”, Dinda quickly switched the conversation.
“Oiya.. What sacred is it? Bry, have we made a decision yet where do we want to eat? So to the new restaurant?”, asked Delina while standing up and turning to Bryan who was sitting was indeed further away from them.
“So.. dong..”, suddenly Andra appeared from behind.
Delina was surprised because a few minutes ago she was still nowhere to be seen.
********
Drrrrttt Drtttt
The clock shows at 11. Dinda and the gang have agreed to leave at 11 so they can eat at the new Japanese restaurant. Everyone has gathered in front of the elevator while Dinda excuses me for a moment because she is urinating.
While washing her hands in the sink, Dinda's phone rang. Sign incoming messages. Dinda quickly picks up her phone hoping the message comes from Arya. But Dinda was wrong. There was some incoming chat from an unknown number.
At first, Dinda wanted to ignore it. But the notification that appeared on the phone screen stole his attention. Dinda had read a sentence that made it so open the contents of the chat.
*From: 0812xxxxxxxxxxx *
Hello, sorry if I arrived - arrived your chat.
*Your husband is cheating on me with my wife. *
*I don't want any big fuss. *
So, I ask for help, you tell your husband to stop connecting with my wife.
DEG.
