"Where are we going?" Ella asked Ardi when she realized their car was almost out of Surabaya.
"Say yesterday I was curious about my company? Curious about my assets and property? Enough for our marriage? Let me show you directly." replied Ardi.
"Not so many times as well." Ella was also encouraged if she was taught to the business park. Why try?
"Let you know and be able to imagine how my work environment is. How I got along with my co-workers. And how I find money to be able to earn your living later," replied Ardi.
"And I've seen that in Genting. I've seen how Ardi works as CEO."
"The one in Genting is nothing, El. You could say that in Surabaya it takes care of all companies both large and small in Banyu Harum. Here the main office while there the same focus of the production process."
Ella was silent, unable to imagine. For Ella, the Ardi company in Genting is already quite great even said there is nothing. Like how else try Bisnis Park which event launching opening until it entered TV all that.
And Ella's question was answered moments later when their car entered the Pradana Bussiness Park area. It really looks like a beautiful and environmentally friendly business park. Shady trees are also neatly arranged along the way. Even from the main gate they were immediately greeted by a large fountain in a well-appointed garden.
Ardi immediately parked his car in the right leading building facing the fountain park. The building on the left wing. Ella could see at least three to four three or four-storey buildings lining the left and right wings of the area.
While in the middle of it is designed like a city park. Complete with well-arranged flowers, as well as a pond complete with fountains as well. In the area there is also a large hall that can be used outdoor parties if there is an event. For everyday use, the hall is used as a food cort and rest area. Truly a healthy, green and comfortable working area to live in.
"Is this really Ardi's who made it?" Ella was amazed to see the grandeur, beauty and breadth of this park business area.
"Nope, El. Can I really magic? I was just the originator of the idea and realized it with the help of so many others."
"Cross the right side of the fountain is the Hartanto Farmacy building. So if you find me here, if Mahes's nyari is there." Ardi pointed to the right building facing the building where they were standing.
"Well in," Ardi held tightly to Ella's hand as if to give strength and spirit to Ella. He announced to all his employees who the girl he was carrying was.
"Strengthen your body, even though it will be seen. Smile who sees and greets. Show me your charm, and prove that you deserve to be my companion." Ardi's words instead helped Ella ease her nervousness. It even makes him groggy.
Ella straightened her body, developing a beautiful smile on her lips. Walk by increasing the grip on the arm of Ardi to find calm. They walked down and passed the first floor with various pairs of eyes watching them. Then they get to the elevator and Ardi presses the button to the 3rd floor.
The 3rd floor is more crowded with people in its own cubicles. And as soon as Ardi and Ella passed by, almost all of the employees immediately stood up and looked at the two of them curiously. Some even pretended to pass by and greeted the two of them. Ella just smiled answering him like Ardi suggested.
Ardi continued to carry Ella walking up to her room at the end of the 3rd floor. Bambang greeted and greeted them right in front of Ardi's room.
"Good day, Mr. Ardi, Miss Ella. Inside is waiting for you Mr. Irza Wismail." Bambang explained about VIP guest Ardi.
"Irza?" Ardi was curious but looked happy too.
Ardi immediately invited Ella into his room. Large workspace with a modern minimalist design that is automated by black and white. The room is divided into several sections, a living room to receive guests on the left side, a working room on the right side where Ardi's desk and a pile of documents. And in the middle of the room is connected to another room that looks like Ardi's private room.
Inside the room were waiting for two men. A very handsome man with his white skin resembled a koreya artist. The man was wearing a suit that looked expensive. Despite being young, the man was able to give off an intimidating and authoritative aura. It must be Irza Wismail. The other man looks more like Irza's private secretary.
"Hallo bro Irza, long time really nongol again." Ardi approached and greeted Irza. Giving bro-hug to him. While the other man bowed politely greeting Ardi.
"Sorry has only been here since the opening." Irza welcomed Ardi's greeting.
"Oiya knows this is Ella, my girl." Ardi introduced Ella to Irza.
"Irza Wismail," Irza thrust one hand at Ella. "And he's my assistant Gala,"
"Ella," Ella welcomed Irza's hand and shook it.
"So this is Ella who was able to make Ardi fail to move on for three years? A very beautiful and smart girl. Thank goodness you can reunite." Irza smiled kindly at Ella.
"Irza is Johanh's future sister-in-law. Still want Johanh Astin, right?" Ardi explained to Ella. Then gave a signal to let them all sit down his couch.
"Oh that Johanh...If it's not wrong, her fiance is named Kika?" Ella recalls the Johanh Astin she met at the Cold Play concert three years ago.
"Yes right, Kika Wismail is my sister. Kika must be happy to see you." Irza explained to Ella.
"Waduh ni. If you already have a girl, it means I live this doank is single." Irza added her remarks, this time aimed at Ardi with a sad face.
"There's Tyo and Cecil. Jillia also seemed to be empty. There are many others who are single." Ardi remembered the names of his fellow singles friends. Well, however, Irza usually gathers with Ardi who is single and like him when he is having a party. Maybe Irza's afraid of losing her partymate.
"You don't know yet? Tyo said again deket same Rena." Irza gave a very surprising information to Ardi.
"Rena? Renata Sudibyo?" Ardi asked in a tone that was difficult to decipher. And Ella can catch something when Ardi mentions Rena by name.
"You right, Rena is the past. And Ella is the future." Ardi consented.
"Yaudah if that's the case, I'm just here to say hello. Maybe starting tomorrow I'll take care of my company for the next few weeks."
"Yes, settle everything before you stay again. Just Wismail, the founder company that has not been operating." Ardi reminded, do not want his friend left behind from the others or maybe even suffered a loss.
"Look easy. Even more abominations with our new product that just launched." Irza answered optimistically. "Thank you for the welcome, I'll take care of you." Irza moved from her seat, leaving Ardi's office followed by her secretary Gala.
"Who is Renata?" Ella asked curiously while staying alone with Ardi.
"My ex" Ardi answered briefly but honestly.
"Oh...he's beautiful huh?" Ella can already guess Ardi is not a man who has never been in contact with other women before him. But still it doesn't feel good to know about Ardi's ex.
"Obviously pretty. She's an international model." Ardi explained. "Rena is the daughter of the conglomerate Haritomo Sudibyo. She is a great, independent type of girl who does not want to take advantage of all her sultanate status. She chose the modeling world she liked. He even settled in Paris, leaving his family and everything to pursue his dreams, ambitions and world."
"Oh, great lady. Why did you break up?" Ella's getting more probed. Feeling insecure should rival an international model. Even with women who are recognized as great by Ardi.
"Because he is too selfish, ambitious and more concerned with his own career than our relationship" Ardi replied with a distant look.
"That means Ardi still loves him?"
"El..what are you talking about?" Ardi was not happy with Ella's words this time. Speech that seemed to doubt his feelings for the girl.
"Question only, you broke it because of the compelling circumstances. Not because I want to be apart." Ella felt fear Ardi could not escape the shadow of Rena. He and Ardi have just decided to get back together. What if Rena suddenly appears and destroys everything?
Ardi realizes Ella's turmoil and doubts. Ardi approached Ella, grabbed the girl's fingers and looked at her closely. "El, You might not be my first love. But you will be my last and eternal love."
(*El, you may not be my first love. But you will be my last and eternal love.)
"Renata or any other woman no one will be able to lose your position in my heart, El. You're still the one I want. The one that I love."
(You're the only one I want. The only one I love.)
"Can I hold your word?" Ella wanted to make sure.
"certain. I'm really serious about you, El. Let's meet my mom soon. You guys need to talk to each other, you get your business done with Mama. After that I'll take my family, my mom and dad to propose to your parents." Ardi explained his plan to Ella.
Ella was shocked. Didn't think Ardi was that serious about planning the continuation of their relationship. So what has Ardi been saying about being married really seriously? Not just joking and fooling around?
"To prove my seriousness this time I brought you here. I'll tell you about all the assets and all the holdings in my name." Ardi pressed the intercom and called Bambang.
Soon Bambang entered the room with his tab. He gave it to Ardi. Stats like it.
"Eh mas Ardi, the chocolate in the car was mostly for me. Ask Bambang to share with the staff." Ella gave her advice.
"You hear that, Mbang? Execute Ella's orders. You've also saved some for Ella. Don't finish it all." Ardi ordered Bambang.
"Good, sir." Bambang according to. Then withdraw from the room.
"Well this is Miss Ardi Pradana, let's just say this whole circle is all Pradana's assets. Full circle, 100% shares." Ardi showed the diagram of the disc in his tab, Ella took a serious look at Ardi's explanation.
"This one is red in my name, in my name. But there is still the right of Laras and Linggar in it. Then this yellow one belongs to someone else non nuclear family. You could say they are shareholders. While this blue one is purely mine." Ardi explained with his words.
"So even though I'm the CEO of Pradana Group, all Pradana assets are not entirely mine. My ownership is only about 20 percent. I'm poorer than you think?" Ardi ended his explanation.
"But still enough for our marriage capital?" Ella seduces Ardi this time. Know well the value of the shares of this Pradana Company. And about twenty percent of Ardi's private property, this is clearly already of tremendous value. I can't imagine what the nominal amount is.
"So you want to marry the model I will also obey. Want a honeymoon around Europe or America, let's go." Ardi smiled happily to answer Ella's question. Feeling happy, Ella finally wanted to also discuss their marriage.
"Well yeah, I'll ask for something strange later that makes Ardi bankrupt." Threaten Ella.
"By, who's afraid hehe."
