Back to the atmosphere of the office that riweh and busy as usual. The Business and Partners division is holding meetings in the American meeting room, where usually the DD division also conducts meetings together under the leadership of Arya.
Susan who had returned to the office got a lot of warm remarks from her colleagues. Luckily nothing serious happened and he was also able to recover quickly. Arya scolded him in the room earlier.
Not because Susan couldn't finish her project properly and had to make Arya a sudden business trip, but because Susan was admitted to the hospital due to diet. Arya heard it from Siska.
In addition to acting as a secretary, Siska also acts as a double agent and eye-eye for Arya. How every single person in her division, Arya knows everything.
Arya started the meeting with a short presentation comparing between the target and what they have achieved now. About 20 minutes of the presentation took place including questions and answers from the team managers.
Arya likes those questions. This was evident from how enthusiastic he was to answer everything. Next is the presentation of the managers. Each of them must provide updates related to the project they are working on.
On the other hand, the DD division is also no less busy. In the morning, Erick, Rini, Dika, and Suci had already held a meeting.
“For this one project, I would like to propose to involve our intern in it. I am sure there are many things that can be supported internally for this project. What do you think of others?’, said Dika expressed his opinion.
Some time ago, Dika did promise this project to Dinda because she saw the ability of the girl. Perhaps this could also be Dinda's ticket to become a permanent employee.
At first Dika had thought twice after he felt suspicious that Dinda was Arya's new wife. However, he thought back that this was his professional decision. Whatever he knew about the girl could not influence his decision.
“Dinda, mean Mr Dika?”, said Suci.
“Hm. There are many things he can learn in this project. You can also focus on working on the important parts and Dinda can help you for things that are operational.”, said Dika.
Actually Saints do not approve it, but want how else. He doesn't have much choice. As Dika said. Maybe Dinda can help him to do a job that is printable. So, he does not need to be too busy working on things that are not so significant.
“Okay.. because this project was previously launched by Mr. Arya as the head of the temporary division, maybe we need a temporary kick-off meeting with him. Just Kick off only about 1 hour so we can get more complete information.”, said Dika.
“Good, Mr.”, answer everyone present in the meeting room in unison.
“Din, please arrange a meeting with Mr. Arya, yes. Just hour. If possible this week. You ask Siska. Pak Arya's schedule is not shared with many people because the system. So it must be asked Siska.”, Erick orders as soon as he comes out of the meeting room.
“Oh yes, good Mr.”, said Dinda received the order.
The gaze of Suci had met with Dinda when Erick said that.
‘Ah.. mas Arya. because he said it to mba Suci, I am so confused now when interacting with mba Suci.’, said Dinda in her heart.
‘Before, when I didn't know about it, I would have been just plain ordinary. But now, I feel bad.’, he continued in his heart.
“Why are you?”, asked Saints who noticed the strange gaze from Dinda.
“Oh no, mba. Gapapa.”, replied Dinda.
Dinda immediately walked towards the business and partners division. He can't find anyone there.
“Who are you looking for?”, said an intern who just came in and was there.
“You are looking for mba Siska. Business and Partners Division where?”, asked Dinda astonished.
“Ah.. all meeting in the American room. It's been 9 o'clock. Looks like it's only during lunch.”, the intern replied.
“Ooh.. alright. I'll be back after lunch. Thank you, infonya.”
“Good, same - same.”
Dinda returned to her seat empty-handed. Siska's not in her place.
“Have we met?”, asked Suci.
“All Business and Partners teams are meeting, including mba Siska. Later I will ask after they return.”, said Dinda.
“Hm.. whereas he can definitely ask when at home only.”, continued Suci in a quiet voice.
“Eh?”, Dinda faint - faintly heard it.
“Ah. no. It's okay - what.”, replied Sacred.
“Which name is Dinda, ada?”, said someone they don't know very well.
“This is Dinda.”, Erick said answering the question.
“Can you come with me for a moment?”, said the person. Erick nodded as he looked at the person.
Dinda hesitantly stood up from her desk. He looked at Erick for a moment. Erick gives a code that allows Dinda to follow the guy.
“Include, I'm Doni, one of the HRD staff. My boss asked me to call you.”, he explained.
“Oh..introduce me Dinda Lestari.”, said Dinda re-introduced himself even though he believes that the HRD staff must have known him.
“Salam. You have been 8 months yes, intern here?”, he said base - stale.
“Iya.. It has been almost 9 months.”, replied Dinda.
“Hm.. it looks like there will be a good offer for you from HRD.”, said Doni gave a clue, because Dinda looks very nervous.
“Offer?”, asked Dinda to confirm what she heard.
“Iya. I do not know the details. Not a negative thing. So, you do not need to be nervous.”, said Doni again calm Dinda.
“Haha. alright. Is it obvious that I am nervous.”, said Dinda.
“Uhm. Don't worry. Everyone who is called HRD suddenly is usually nervous.”, he said smiling.
Dinda followed the man to the HRD room. It turns out that Dinda will enter one of the HRD Manager rooms. Dinda read his position on the door.
“Please.”, said Doni invite Dinda to go inside.
“Please sit.”, the Manager told Dinda.
“Then excuse me, sir.”, Doni continued and then out of the room.
“Good day, mba Dinda. I'm Alex, but not the Head of Finance, yes.”.
Actually, Dinda did not really catch the joke. But, to be safe, she smiled at him.
“There are two people whose name is Alex in this office. I am one of the HR Manager and the other is the head of Finance. So, you should not be confused, yes.”, he said.
“A-ah.. I understand now.”, said Dinda keceplosan.
That is, Dinda admitted that she did not understand the jokes that were delivered by Mr. Alex. Realizing that, Dinda immediately misbehaved.
“Okay, why did I call you. If you really like the DD division, you may not be too interested in this offer. But, who knows. That's why I called you here.” Alex explained.
“Based on the midterm report of all interns in this company, I see your report is very interesting. If in the ranking, maybe you are ranked 5th among the 15 interns that exist.”
“It has become a tradition that interns who have the top five performance will be offered a permanent position in the company first. After that, it was opened to the public. As you enter the top 5, I would like to offer you two interesting positions. First is the permanent staff at one of the teams in the Business and Partners.” division, continued Mr. Alex.
“One more is a permanent staff position in the IT division. These two divisions are the divisions that best match your performance.”, said Alex.
Dinda nodded - nodding listening to Alex's explanation.
“In the DD division there are no vacancies opened, yes Sir?”, asked Dinda carefully.
“Ya. unfortunately in the DD division there are no permanent vacancies opened. Your position is always an open position for intern. So that we don't open to permanent. If you want a permanent position, you have to wait for one of the junior-level employees to exit the DD division. Only then can you enter.”, explained Alex.
“I think you'll be more interested in the Business and Partners division. You didn't know that division was the most elite division in our office? There are rarely even interns offered for this position. This position is also open because two interns who intern in the Business and Partners division do not meet the requirements. One also escaped just because he was called to the room Mr. Arya.”, Alex said again explained.
Dinda just smiled awkwardly. Not that she does not want to offer in the Business and Partners division, but how could she get into it if Mr. Arya himself is her husband.
“Don't tell me you're afraid of Mr Arya? Hm. although he is fierce, he is among the best leaders in our office. You can learn a lot from him.”, Alex said.
“For IT division, is it in this office or ?”, asked Dinda in doubt.
“Oh.. You know also about IT division huh?”, asked Alex.
“At first I had applied in the IT division, but I heard the IT division also works in the client's place if there is a certain request from the Business and Partners.” division, said Dinda.
“Ehm.. I am not afraid of Mr. Arya.. I mean he was scary but... after several times interacting with him through the project I worked on, I learned a lot from him.”, replied Dinda.
“A-ah. You can think of these two offers until the end of next month. After that, if you do not have an answer, I am forced to open it to the public.”, said Alex closed his meeting because soon he also had a meeting.
“Good Mr. Alex, I thank you for the opportunity that has been given. Hem. I have one more question. If possible.”, Dinda can realize that Mr. Alex seems to have another appointment. So he asked heart.
“Hum.. are the two positions still allowed if the employee is pregnant?”, asked Dinda.
“Oh? Are you pregnant? I guess you're still single. Yes, based on your initial record, you are still single. Are you married?”, Alex asked in shock at the question.
Dinda was sorry to ask that, because she was like opening a pandora's box that she was trying to close.
“Ah.. su-already Pak.”, said Dinda hesitate.
“Oh? I don't know. But It’s okay, getting married is not a violation, is it? Hm. I don't think it's too much of a problem. It's just the possibility that you will not get a full salary while you are on maternity leave. Because you haven't been in the office for a year. It can be arranged, I think. We can discuss it again if you have chosen. I also have to check the rules.”, explained Alex.
“Oh well, sir Alex. Thanks again for the opportunity. Then, excuse me.”, Dinda said goodbye and walked out of the room.
‘Wah. But it looks like I really had no hope of getting into the Business and Partners division. Because Pak Arya is the head of his division. For IT, maybe I try to discuss with Mr. Arya.’, thought Dinda while pressing the elevator button.
As soon as the elevator opened, Dinda saw Arya and some of her subordinates were joking. Seen from Arya who laughed. At first, he did not realize that the person in front of the elevator was Dinda.
Then, when he noticed it, Arya immediately smiled. Linda got into the elevator. It had been a long time since he had met or had come into contact with Arya in the office. Usually he never even saw the man at all.
“Then I came down here first, yes.”, said some of Aryan subordinates who went down on the floor that Dinda did not know what division it was.
Now Dinda, Siska and Arya live in the elevator. Siska pretended to cleared her throat. In his opinion, he was in a bad position.
Arya, according to Dinda's request, the man will be as professional as possible in the office. He did not say hello to Dinda, although in it there was only Siska who in fact already knew their relationship.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Arya went straight out into her room. Siska followed him with a confused look. Clearly, he was waiting for scenes like those on television. Scenes like dating quietly - staying in the office, or something like that.
Siska was immediately disappointed that nothing had happened.
“Ehm.. mba Siska!”, call Dinda.
Siska's footsteps came to a halt, while her boss had already walked ahead with an unusually quick pace. While walking with Dinda, Arya never walked that fast.
“Ehm.. Yes?”, replied Siska.
“Mba, I'd like to ask you about Mr. Arya's schedule. DD Division wants to invite Mr. Arya to a meeting related to Alpha project. The duration is about 1 hour. Kira - suppose there is an available schedule this week?”, asked Dinda.
“Hm...”, murmured Siska while opening her phone and also opening her notebook.
“Wait, is not something like this you can ask directly to Mr Arya? Why busy - busy asking me.”, asked Siska wonder.
“Eh?”, Dinda was even more surprised to hear Siska's question.
“He is your husband. Just ask aja.”, said Siska with a seductive tone.
Dinda immediately misbehaved while looking left and right when no one came out of the elevator other than them from earlier.
“Why?”, ask Siska.
“Sorry mba, if in the office, his boss, hm.. I mean the head of the Business and Partners Division. It has nothing to do with me.”, said Dinda nervously.
“Hum? How strange. If I were Mr. Arya's wife, maybe I would have used the nametag he wrote. Arya’s Wife.”, she said smilingly.
“Eh?”
“Hahaha.. Joking. The hum.. Mr. Arya can meet on Thursday, 5 o'clock, how? Too late afternoon, huh? Besides, there is no more free time. He is extraordinarily busy. As you know.”, she smiled.
“Hum. can mba. I have recorded the schedule of Mr. Dika, Mr. Erick, and Mba Suci. They have no schedule on that date. So, it should be okay. We will send you an invitation to the meeting. Please do not block for others first schedule it.”, said Dinda.
“Oke. I noted. Siska recorded it in her book. For the schedule that has been confirmed, it can already see Siska through the email application on his phone. However, for those who do not have an invitation, not yet confirmed as proposed by Dinda, Siska will record it in his book.
“Then, thank you mba Siska.”, said Dinda intends to step back into place.
“Ehm. Din's. Can you give me a little leak about Mr. Arya. What about him at home? Not bad either? Six packs? Hum... Like to watch? Picky is too? Ah.. no, how is the story you can meet? A boyfriend? How is Pak Arya dating?”, Siska began to be enthusiastic and eager to ask.
Not because Siska liked her as much as Suci or the other women around Arya, but so that Siska could make the information as a weakness of Arya. So, if Arya bullies Siska later, she has ammunition. During this time he was always colonized by Arya (in a positive sense).
“Oh? Ha-has.. It seems that if it can directly ask Mr. Arya yes, mba. At the office, my relationship is only a professional one. Intern and Division Head.”, replied Dinda who already wanted to run away from here immediately.
“Hem. means if we meet weekend for me to ask - tanya, can dong. Kan if the weekend status is wife.”, said Siska.
After that, his phone rang.
“Who the hell?”, said Siska directly see his phone.
‘Grim Reaper’ posts on her phone.
“A-ahhhh's chat.. Mr. Arya again. Okay, then, bye, Din.”, said Siska immediately farewell and ran towards Mr. Arya's room.
********
The atmosphere of Inggit's house is crowded because there is a Beautiful Aunt and Aunt Meri coming to the house with her children. There's Fams, Gita, Reza, Bianca and Dito. This time minus Edo because he still has a lot of work.
It has become their routine to visit the house of the oldest brother. Sometimes Inggit and Kuswan also singalahturami to the house of Kuswan's sisters. In recent months it is rare because there are many events that have brought them together first.
“Where are Arya and Dinda? Very quiet, mas?”, said Aunt Meri who was chewing some sweets served by Bi Rumi.
“Still in the office. Soon to go home. Usually by 5 or 6 Dinda is home. If Arya, sometimes it can be 8 and 9.”, replied Inggit.
Though the question was for Kuswan, but the eager Inggit answered it.
“Loh loh. Not that Dinda is pregnant mbak yu. Arya should be accompanying. Time is still busy as well.”, said Aunt Indah.
“Iya, Arya is working on it. Want how mbak. Arya want then and now, busy amazing.”, said Inggit.
“Nah.. It can't be just effort. Later if the case is like his ex how? I know Dinda is a good woman - well, yes. Same with his ex. But he also must have a feeling, if left behind he is also tired for sure. Especially if pregnant it will need the support of her husband.”, Aunt Meri began with her mouth all blak - blak-an.
“That Arya, want to first want to be busy now is amazing. His wife must understand. And according to the mas, Dinda is amazing adult. I'm sure there won't be any problems. It is precisely your mouth, which can - can trigger problems.”, Kuswan told his sister.
Although they are old and already have their own families, but still, sometimes the shadow of childhood remains visible from their interactions.
“Mama is so om. If it doesn't come out fantastic from his mouth, not mama his name.”, said Dito.
“Tante, mba Dinda still long home?”, asked Fams.
“In a moment also the power to go home. Aunty see Mr. Cecep is not ready - ready to pick up, it looks like Arya also came home on time today.”, said Inggit.
“Bi, when did you follow Dinda. Not filled yet?”, asked aunt Meri who has changed her target.
“They are only this bi-monthly, Mbak yu.”, said Aunt Indah.
“Yes, you have long been like a tagger. Where's edo? When to bring the wife?”, said Kuswan, now it is his turn to charge.
Their children can only shake their heads hearing the chatter of their parents.
‘Why people's lives have been in the love timeline, sih’, said Bianca upset in the heart. Still trying to smile.
Reza, her husband had even sped into Ibas' room.
“Reza where?”, asked Inggit on Bianca.
Not to mention Bianca replied, Fams has already opened her voice.
“Where else tan if not to Ibas room. Once there, the two brothers went straight to the room to talk about the latest game. Sometimes I get confused, that Ibas' brother is Reza or Mas Arya, anyway. Can be different so.”
The others laughed at Fams.
Reza is very extroverted and easy to get along with. Not only can he get along with Ibas, but he can connect with Kuswan, can talk seriously with Arya, and other family members.
Bianca can also only geleng - the head gel is left alone. Judging from his interaction with Fams, it seemed like their relationship had started to improve.
