Bambang entered Ardi's room that afternoon. Just before the break time. "This is some paperwork that needs to be signed, sir." He presented several documents to Ardi's front.
Ardi received the documents and signed them without much comment. "What schedule do I have?" tanyanya ensured her schedule.
"Nothing, sir. Oiya outside there's Mr. Mahes wants to see you."
"Why don't you just go in?" Ardi was a little surprised by Mahes's actions. Usually, he just went straight to his office if he came. Is he still sad because of yesterday?
"Do you want lunch outside or do I need to order it to eat here?" Bambang made sure of his boss' lunch before resigning shortly afterwards.
"I'm males out again. Buy it with rice padang kayak usually. Two for Mahes, too." Ardi decided on his lunch menu. As busy and dense as any activities, Ardi who now never forget to maintain his health, no skipping meals. Remembering Ella's advice the last time for her. As if to prove that he is a man who can keep his promises and take responsibility for his own health.
Mahes entered Ardi's room with Bambang coming out of the room. "Yo, Met noon. Busy as the director?" mahes entered the room.
"Not really. Tumben didn't come in right away?"
"Fear of disturbing the busyness of the big boss."
"It's usually just cheekily too."
"That was the time at Pradana Construction minimu company in Genting. If Pradana Group's main company is where I dare. If you are no longer fit there are important clients. It's not polite."
"Sit down. What to drink?" Ardi invited Mahes to sit on the sofa and approach his refrigerator. Ardi did not respond to Mahes's reply. But inevitably feel a little uncomfortable also knowing his current position can make others hesitant to just meet him. Even Mahes, who was one of his closest friends, felt that way, how about someone else?
"Which seger-seger there is? A cocktail? Mocktails?"
"What a bar." Ardi took a few bottles of soft drink from his refrigerator.
"Do you need a lot of money?" Mahes suddenly began to ask Ardi.
"Yes tolerable. Why can you help pinjemin?" Ardi responded to Mahes's remarks, taking a seat before his cousin.
"could. You need a lot of brapa? And do what?" Mahes want to not want to be curious for what Ardi needs a lot of money. It is not possible for his personal needs, certainly related to the company.
"I have cooperation with Irza Wismail, he wants cooperation to make the expansion of Wismail company in East Java. I also want to move some of my company to Surabaya. His office, production is here. Make a complex or a building a lot of companies I mean." Ardi explained his plan.
"Isn't Wismail Group a big company? Why do we need other investors? Aren't you going to them?" Mahes remembers very well the background of Wismail family which is a Trillionaire with its giant company covering various fields will certainly not lack capital.
"Today they also staggered colaps to enter the tv because of internal problems. Moreover, they are now also in a period of leadership transition, a problem that is almost the same as Pradana Group. So Irza can only help some money according to the contract needed by their branch children in East Java. The plan I want to make in suburban Surabaya, the land is clear just stay development. Abis hahaha."
"Why in Surabaya? There's expensive all the properties and labor too."
"Yes indeed. But we're a little hard to develop if we keep going here. Our position is too late to go to Surabaya Far, want to Denpasar is also far away. We lost on shipping, because all this time we only focus on shipping the sea from the port, besides it is heavy on shipping costs. Inevitably there must be a company that deket same airport if you want to progress. So that delivery can be faster and smoother."
"I can join. I took a complex for Hartanto Farmacy. Ntar you make a proposal and how much funds are needed. All you need help how much also make the proposal submission." Mahes was also interested in Ardi's idea to open a branch company in Surabaya.
"Ok, not a week until I send it to you. Email first yes, learn the draft. If it's clear we just process the contract." Ardi was excited to find one investor who was very trustworthy.
Mahes seems to have started bringing in some of his family's Pharmaceutical companies in addition to being the director of his own established hospital. Hartanto Group apparently has also begun to prepare for the change of the throne holder apparently. And of course Mahes as the first son of the family will accept the throne.
"Eh but I'm calling you here not to talk money and business. There's another important thing we need to talk about." Ardi again reminded his main purpose of calling Mahes here today.
"Yes I know, the Baras problem right?" Mahes can also guess the direction of Ardi's conversation.
"What's it going so far?"
"Like, honey, love, want to have." Mahes is confused to describe his feelings for Laras. The feeling feels so complicated.
"What's? Since when?" Ardi was astonished this time. I don't think he's ever seen Mahes trying to get close to Laras before. Never did Ardi catch Mahes stealing glances or giving excessive attention other than as a sister or cousin to Laras.
"Haaa? Sari likes me?" This time the astonished Ardi heard the words of Mahes. Since when does Sari like it? How is he not conscious at all?
"When you became a bad person, Di. I think it's just Ella doank who can get you attention, you know, you know." Mahes grunted in annoyance. Slightly annoyed too the one because of his sister's unrequited love to Ardi. But yes, what else is called feeling can not be forced. Now Ardi is also hit by the stone with the fault of his relationship with Ella. Meanwhile, Sari is happy with her boyfriend Jun.
"So mama matein me to Sari at that time was not the origin? Because Sari likes me?" Ardi felt even more uneasy knowing this shocking reality.
"Well, maybe the budhe Kartika can also see and feel the gelagat Sari to you. It's just you who's numb, Di. It's bad for you." Mahes grunted in annoyance. "But at that time Sari was dating Jun. So he's refusing your matchmaking not just for you and Ella, but for himself and Jun" she added.
"Thank God that's it..." Ardi was a little relieved.
"So the point since Sari has given up on how she feels about you. And you've also found Ella to fill your heart, I'm also starting to try to get close to Laras." Mahes admitted when the initial moments he approached Laras.
"Crazy! It's been that long and I don't know anything." Ardi frowned deeply, growing more astonished himself.
"You are what Ella Mulu thinks," Mahes laughingly noticed Ardi's indifference and lack of love. "But because I also rarely went home, our relationship went very slowly. I can only LDR, I haven't even had time to express love to her."
"You're serious aren't you the same Laras? Just be careful if you want to play my sister." Ardi threatened Mahes.
"Di, I'm serious about Laras. I want to shoot him, commit to him. You believe in me, right? I can definitely guard and protect Baras. I won't hurt him." Mahes answered seriously
"Well, I know how you are. You're one of the most straight people I know. I'm honestly relieved that Laras is finally with you. But all back to the barrel. I can't feel her feelings. If he wants to accept you please continue, I don't mind. You just need to step up to your mom and dad to explain your relationship. Surely they won't mind either" replied Ardi.
"One more, Di. I want your permission. Can't if Laras steps you? I want to propose to her, I want to marry her." Mahes asked seriously again.
"Wow, this spitty gesture," Ardi was actually not surprised to hear it. Mahes is already famous for not liking stale bases. But not surprisingly, he can also be as firm in deciding to get married. Inevitably there is a little envy also with the relationship of Mahes and Laras, if only his relationship with Ella was not banged blessing. Surely Ardi will also not hesitate to propose and marry the girl.
"Hehe, good intentions must be quickened. I don't want to procrastinate anymore. I've been steady in choosing Laras."
"Could only. I don't mind at all."
"Thanx a lot, yes. You are the best friend and brother."
"Eit, you have to call me 'Mas' ya hahahaha."
"Asyem, Yes Mas Ardi Pradana is handsome and cool but dear single hahahha." Mahes wickedly teases Ardi.
"Heh, Goddamn! Not yet a sister-in-law to visit!" Ardi pretended to be angry and soon the laughter of the two men exploded into the room.
"Thank you, maybe you guys get married first and give me a funny granddaughter mama will never again I make a spit-spet marriage." Ardi was also happy with the idea of their marriage as soon as possible.
"What are you still intending to wait for Ella? Three more years?" Mahes is curious about Ardi's plans for her relationship.
"Two years, it's past a year." Ardi count Mahes.
"What if Ella had another man? Or maybe married?"
"Can't be. He's still waiting for me."
"It's a pity that you become a person!"
"Hahaha yes donk. Than inferiority and inferiority." Ardi defended himself. There was indeed a bit of doubt and fear that Ella would vote and be with the other men. That's why Ardi still hires people to spy on Ella. Actually not for nothing just as a reminder that Ella finally chose the other one. Reminds her that her time to keep hoping has run out and it's time to let the girl go if she finally chooses to marry another man.
