Duren Sweet
Prom Night

Rendy enters his office grounds after rafie is sent to school. It's a little late. Because he usually arrived at the office at half-eight in the morning. Time showed at nine and he just arrived. Really an unexemplary boss. Don't blame him. Because it's all there's a reason. Rendy is late to the office because she has to find a barbie doll for her sister. For a city number. He willingly.

Is there still time?. Why not buy it after you get home from work?. Maybe because he was afraid to forget. Rendykan was forgetful.

Rendy put her car in the company's parking lot. Not to forget he brought the barbie doll to his office. When entering the lobby many company employees are staring at the boss is strange. Because rendy brings a barbie doll whose notabenya toy for girls while the rendy boy. Who is the puppet for. His nephew. Not likely. Because after they were older brother rendy has 2 twin sons. That's the question they have in mind.

Rendy paid no heed to the strange gazes of her employees. He's just being funny. Stupid time. The most important thing for him now is to get a siti number. That'sthat's all.

He entered a special elevator. Pressing the top floor button. 50 Floor. No matter how big the office is. Or rather his family.

Ting...

Elevator door opens.First glance rendy see only a few employees who go back and forth. they greet rendy kindly. Because this floor is specifically for the CEO of the company. Or rather for rendy. Nikolas rendy's secretary who saw the presence of his boss immediately stood up from his seat. Smiling kindly greeting rendy.

" Good morning boss "

" Yes, good morning "Rendy stuck her thumb to the Fingerprint near her door. To have his name registered in the absence of the company.

" Tumben late boss? And who's the doll for? " nicholas' eye focuses on the thing that rendy down. He wondered why his boss was carrying dolls for girls. While the boss's son is a boy. And since when does rafie love Barbie dolls?.

"I'm looking for Barbie dolls at some toy store. But the stock is up. So I had to drive around town looking for this doll. And who is this doll for. This is for nana siti's sister"

" Siti's sister? Boss intent. That city "

Rendy nodded. Nikolas understood who Rendy meant.

" oh yes, nik. My job application letter doesn't need you to make "

" Eh why boss?, the letter has become boss. This "nicholas gives a map containing a job application letter for rendy.

" Thank you, nik. But I don't think this letter is any good. Because the owner of the school himself asked me to teach there. He met me this morning "

" Really boss. I'm so happy. Hopefully the boss's efforts will pay off "

" Aamiyin. Sorry to bother you, nik "

" It's okay boss. I will help the boss when the boss is in need of help. Oh yes boss, CEO of ZO Group agreed to your boss meeting request "

" really? When's? "

" Yes the boss, he said at a cafe near here. What is the name of the cafe. If not wrong rainbow cafe "

" ZO Group CEO asked for a meeting at the cafe? Why not just in the company? "

" I don't know boss. I don't know " either "

" What time? "

" He said it was 3pm boss "

" Well, I'll see him later in the afternoon. You can go back to work, Nik "

" Good boss "

Rendy entered his room. Put that Barbie doll on her desk. He sat quietly in his chair. His back is tired. Probably too long to drive.

Comfortably..

incoming messages incoming messages incoming messages..

Rendy who is dreamy. Surprised by the ringtone of his phone. My mother sent a message. Rendy read the contents of the message from her mother.

Tomorrow is rendy 1st. I hope you find a woman who is suitable for you and can accept all your shortcomings. Moreover, you are a widower. Remember, mother grandchildren remain the number one priority.

Rendy replied to the message.

Yes ma'am. Just chill. Leave it all to rendy. Pray for the best for rendy.

Soon her mother returned the message.

I will keep reminding you. You are forgetful.

Without replying to the mother's message. Rendy put her phone on her desk. She was a little upset because her mother always said she was forgetful. Padahalkan it's true he's forgetful. Basic rendy.

Geck..Geckos

Suddenly someone knocked on the door of his room. Rendy told someone to come in. And it turns out that guy. That guy who always pissed rendy off when he died. Tanias. Employees Women who always bother rendy.

Rendy looked at the woman ferociously, "What's up? "

" I just miss you "he said in a sensual tone. Makes rendy want to puke. Totally disgusted.

" Mending you out. If there is no important need "do not heed the speech Rendy tania walked closer.

" Why do you always reject me. I really love my father "

Rendy looked flatly at tania. Loving?. It's nonsense. Rendy tau tania approaches him because of something he has.

" Exit Tania "letah rendy.

Tania remained silent in place. Makes rendy growl.

" Get out or I fired "Rendy cold.

With a heavy heart Tania moved away from the face of rendy. Before reaching the door. Tania turned to look at rendy.

" I am a widow. Mr. widower. We are both single. Really fits no sir"

Hearing Tania rendy's words snickered in annoyance. Not because the tania beat him a widower. It is true that he is a widower. But this is about the rendy tania speech that feels not connected at all. Anybody who has ever been married is single. Really not sane. Maybe the brain tania has degenerated to the stomach. That's why I like talking.

Rendy threw the ballpoint pen on her desk at Tania. Tania quickly avoided.

" Exit "

Hearing rendy's cold remark.Tania finally completely left the room.

Rendy was relieved by Tania's departure. Women like tania if not to be assertive then it will be more - so. Rendy from the beginning already had plans to move the tania to another branch of the company. But it's still a plan and it hasn't been implemented.

Instead of thinking about the tania continue, Rendy finally decided to finish her work. Checking data - important data, corporate financial charts, signing some important documents and much more. He must finish it immediately. So that tomorrow he can be calm if he is teaching. While waiting for zhuhur time.

It's been 3 hours rendy's struggling with his job. Finally adzan zhuhur reverberated. He stopped his work for a moment. Take ablution water in the bathroom that is inside the private rest room owned by rendy. The rendy work room is indeed different from the work room in the company. Because it has a room with complete facilities even though it is not too broad. The important thing is that he can use it to rest or clean himself.

Finish berwudhu. Rendy took the prayer mat and peci that were right next to the bed. Then hold the prayer mat. Don't forget he changed his pants with his holster. And he began to carry out his duties. Do not forget after praying he prayed to the Almighty.

Yep..Allah forgive the sins of the servants and the sins of the parents. Extend the age of the servant and the age of both the servant's parents..Allahs. So that the servant can always be by the side of the son of the servant. Watch him grow up. Educate it well in order to be useful for religion and nation.

Yep...God has kept our family out of all the dangers in the world. Satan's accursions and temptations are damned. Strengthen the servant of all things. So that I can always be patient in facing everything.

Yep...Allah, if you are my soul mate, make it easy for your servant to have it. However, if not. So do not match the site to anyone. Let the servant be the soul mate. Aamii.

Can rendy be a little selfish. Expecting Siti. whereas not necessarily Siti is her soul mate. Maybe for now let him be a little selfish.

Finished performing the prayer he took a short break in the company cafeteria because of his stomach from the protest asked in the contents. It's lunch hour. Rendy took Nicholas to rest with her. They always go together.

" Nik, let's take a break "Rendy approaches Nicholas who is busy with his work.

" A minute boss. I want to finish this data first. Boss go first. Later I followed "Nicholas without looking at rendy. It's a little disrespectful. But rendy never blamed it. Because the important thing is not to do strange actions. For example, like Tania. Of course rendy will be angry.

" All right I'll wait "Rendy took a seat right next to Nicholas. Nicholas who saw it slightly jerked.

" Okay boss let's take a break "

" You don't want to finish first "

Nikolas shook his head, "Later boss ". Rendy nodded. He checked nicholas' work.

" emm-m.. This section is removed only. Replace it with the width and area of land that the hotel will build. Then give a little characteristics of the land that is there "rendy said. He pointed to the writing section on the screen of Nicholas' computer.

" Which boss "ask nikolas to make sure. Rendy pointed to writing that she thought was unimportant.

" This one "

Nicholas immediately did as rendy had ordered. He deleted some of his writing.

" Then in change what the boss "

" Space of land and features of land. Later in my room I will give some data - data about the land. Now let's get some rest. You can finish again "

" Good boss "

" That's for next week's presentation "ask rendy.

" yes boss "

" It's still a long time, Nik. You can also continue at home "

" yes boss. But I still have a lot of work. So I decided to finish it now to make it lighter "nicholas sleeps his computer.

" It's not wrong that I made you a nik secretary "praise rendy.

Nikolas smiled shyly, "The Boss can do it "

Rendy shook her head to look at the timid nicholas. Rendy embraces nicholas's shoulder and invites him to rest. Rendy and Nikolas are out of the CEO's room.

Actually Nicholas' room is still one room with the CEO's room only limited to the wall. And nicholas' room is surrounded by frosted glass. So, if in or out of the room the CEO must pass through the room nicholas as well.

They both entered the elevator. Nicholas pressed the floor button. Basement. Or you could say the cafeteria where all employees gather during lunch breaks. Maybe a little unique to this company. There is a cafeteria like a school. But it was deliberately built so that employees who want to rest there is just filling the stomach do not need to go far out of the office. The company has a special canteen. And the traders who initially sold near the company moved there because rendy asked. There is even a place to sell. Benches and chairs. Lesehan. What a noble heart Rendy.

(rendy company building as picture above. But the surroundings are not like that. Just the building. And just think of the picture of the building above until the 50th floor because the author is not sure it until the 50th floor 😅😅😅 )

" Nik" call rendy. Nicholas looked towards him

" Yes boss "

" Where were you going? "

" I mean boss? " Nicholas winced in wonder. He was in his room not going anywhere.

" Where's your 10th half hour? " Rendy's face turned flat.

" A half 10 hours... Emmm I'm going to Mr. Hendra's room (Gm company ). Why is it boss? "

" Next time if you want to go out do not forget to lock the door of the room "

" What's Tania's mom doing again "

Rendy sighed lightly, "yes "

" Sorry boss, it's all my fault "Nikolas looks sorry.

" It's okay, nik. Don't regret it like that. I already have plans for tania myself. Maybe I'll move it to another branch office "

" Really boss. Then what about the revision that handled her "

" I'll find a replacement. I know tania including people who are good at business. It's just that I don't like his attitude "

" I'll help you find the boss's successor "

" all right. Thank you "

Ting...

The elevator has reached the ground floor. The elevator door opened and saw many employees passing by. Find a comfortable rest area.

Nicholas walks next to rendy. Many employees greeted them. A smile from rendy. Nicholas was looking for a comfortable seat for his boss.

" Please boss. Let me order the food. Boss wants a pesab what? "

" Fried rice only, same iced orange "

" ready boss "

After Nicholas went to order food. Rendy sat in the place of Nicholas' choice. A little far from the crowd of other employees. After a few minutes nikolas came up with a plate of fried rice and orange ice.

" This is boss "

Rendy smiled, "Thank you "

" Same - same boss. I want to take the order first "nicholas leaves rendy who starts eating his food. Because from earlier his stomach was screaming for contents.

Bismillahirahmanirahim

Rendy opened her mouth wide. Ready to receive a spoonful of fried rice. Start putting it in your mouth. Chewing slowly. Taste the fried rice.

" The Boss "

Uhukkc...

" Haish, you surprised me nik" said rendy. He immediately drank his orange ice. He almost choked to death.

" sorry boss "nicholas is just a five-finger smile. Making rendy nose kempis. For holding back the upset.

" You'll come with me to meet the CEO of ZO group "

" Good boss ".

They eat in wisdom. Then rendy and Nicholas finished their work.

" boss, how's rafie doing? "

" He's good "rendy replied while driving. They're in rendy's car now. The road to cafe caihong. Where the city works.

" You never picked rafie home from boss school "

Rendy shook her head, "I'm just delivering it. Han and bi saras who picked them up "

" One time you have to pick up rafie boss. Must be happy to be picked up by his dad "

" I'm really working on it. You know I've been so busy lately "sahut rendy, he glanced at Nicholas beside him.

" Right as well as the boss, this end the company really developed rapidly "

" I hope our company will be more advanced "

Rendy stared at the crowded highway. They speak a thousand languages.

Really minute drive. They finally reached their intended place. Cafe caihong's.

As usual, the cafe looks crowded with visitors. Especially in front of the cafe written a new menu that they launched. They entered the cafe. Bells ringing. A girl approached them. The girl who was none other than Siti looked surprised to see rendy.

" Mr rendy "

" Good afternoon sir, what do you want to eat "

" Ah, just later. I want to see someone. What number was Nik's desk? "

" 5 bosses "

" Table number 5 where sit "ask rendy

Siti shows the table that has been occupied by 2 men, "There sir "

" Thank you for the sit "Rendy stepped her foot away from siti. Although from earlier his heart was racing when he met siti. But he can cover it up. Maybe he showed it directly.

" That's the siti that the boss meant "nicholas followed rendy. He walked next to Rendy.

" Yes "

" Beautiful boss "praise nikolas

Rendy snubbed towards nicholas, "don't like, he belongs to me a "

Nicholas rolled his eyes lazy, "yaelah boss, not yet a husband let alone a candidate, suda possessive aja "nicolas's lips.

Rendy paused for a moment. Staring at nikolas sharply. Nikolas who knew his boss was offended by his words immediately apologized to Rendy. Then the two of them continued walking toward the two men who had sat down to approach them.

" Good afternoon sorry I'm late "

The two men stood up to greet rendy and his secretary.

" It's okay, rendy. Its okay "

Rendy greets the two men. One of the Japanese-looking men bowed his body slightly.

" Please sit, rendy "send the half-Japanese.

" Yes, thank you sir "

Rendy and Nicholas sat opposite them.

" Firstly thank you for accepting this meeting call sir " said rendy starting their chat.

" It's okay, rendy. We are business partners should have met often. Sorry if I couldn't attend the meeting. So my GM has to step in "

" It's okay sir. That's not a big deal "

" Ahh, I'm so not good, rendy sir. By the way introduce my name is Zuko Omura and this is my secretary Tanaka akeda she is native Japanese while I am half japanese" said zuko half jokingly

" Any deserved. Your face is like a Japanese "

" Yes, because we are Japanese "

Zuko waved his hand to one of the servants. Then the waiter approached. And it turns out the floats are the city. Suddenly rendy's heart was racing again.

" By the way you don't want to order something "

" ah-yes. We want the message "Rendy looks nervous. Until - until his ears turn red.

" Boss you don't papa, "Whisper Nicholas who saw rendy's ears flushed.

" I-I'm fine "

After they order the food they want. Siti passed from there. Rendy looks relieved breathing. After a few minutes their order arrived. And again the site that brought the order. Making rendy have to hold his breath for a moment because of nervousness.

They eat with small talk. Discuss there. Discusses here. There is so much they screw up. Especially in business.

No time to show the nail half 6 p.m. They ended their conversation. Zuko and his secretary say goodbye first. It's rendy and nicholas.

" Boss you don't want to take him home with us "ask nikolas glanced at rendy who noticed siti's movements.

" If I had invited him he would have rejected her, because it wasn't time for him to go home from work "

" What time does it come home from work "

" About 10pm maybe "

" It's a very night. It's not good for a girl to come home alone. Boss, you just take her home. You know the owner of this cafe. Boss can allow it "

" a good idea. I'm gonna call daniel "

Rendy took the phone that was nailed to her pants. Find Daniel's number and call him.

Tut

' Hello '

" Hello Daniel it's me. You were at your cafe? "

' Sorry, brother, I'm at home. I'm a little less well. So I didn't go to the cafe today '

" Can you please let the city go home early "

' It's up to you, brother. I hung up. I want to rest, brother's '

Tuttts..

Connection interrupted.

" How boss " Ask nikolas.

" It's up to me to say "Rendy put her phone back in her pants pocket.

" Then then. Take the boss home "

Rendy stood up from the seat about to approach the siti but was undone.

" What if he refuses her "

" At least the boss has tried it "sober nicholas calm.

Nikolas pushed lightly rendy's body to quickly approach siti. With heavy steps rendy approached the siti who was cleaning the table. When we got behind siti rendy stopped for a moment.

" Siti "call rendy

Siti was surprised, "I-iya sir rendy. There is something I can help you with "

With one breath rendy tried to reduce the rapid heartbeat.

"Go home with us. It's not good a girl comes home night by herself"

" I'm sorry, sir, but it's not time to go home yet. Not good with other employees if I go home early "

"I've authorized you to Daniel. He said it's okay "

" Even though my boss has allowed it, I still don't feel good, sir. Someone will pick me up "

Rendy frowned in surprise, "who? "

" father. I went to school early so I went home first. Then you said let him take me and pick me up later "

" Are you really picked up by your father? " ask rendy to make sure.

" Yes sir "Siti nodded steadily.

" all right. Then I go home first "

" Yes sir heart-heart on the road "Rendy smiled. With a heavy heart he left the city. Approaching the faithful Nicholas in his seat.

" How is boss "

" He was picked up by his father "

" A so yeah. It must hurt, boss "

" Not to be asked. Let's go home "

They also decided to go home. Rendy drove Nicholas back to the office because he said there were some files he had to finish and his car was still parked by the company.

After delivering nicholas. Rendy decided to stop by the mosque for a little while to pray maghrib. Then immediately plug the gas into his house.

30 Minutes drive on the highway. Finally rendy has arrived at his home, more precisely the mansion owned by his family.

The gate of the mansion was opened by the security guard. He entered the courtyard of his spacious mansion, which was decorated with fountains. He stopped his car right in front of a mound of stairs on the porch of his mansion. Shutting down car. Then out.

Han welcomed his master's return. He approached rendy. Offer something. Rendy tells Han to put his car in the garage.

" Has rafie slept "

" Not yet young master. Mr. rafie is still studying with aunt saras "

" Ah, okay. Here's the key "rendy handed over the car keys to han don't forget to say thank you. Then he rushed into his mansion.

Some of the servants greeted the master was friendly. Offer something rendy might need. However, he refused. He just needs a break.

Rendy climbed the circular staircase. Walk to Rafie's room. He really can't wait to meet his beloved son.

Rendy peeked out from behind the open door of rafie's room. See what the boy is doing. As it turns out, Rafie and bi Saras with a drawing. They seem to enjoy it so much.

" Assalamualaikum's chat. Papa comes home "Rendy enters his son's room. Means surprising.

" Wa'alaikumsalam/wa'alaikumcalam "

" Papa..."

Rafie screams hysterically to see her papa come home. He ran towards rendy. Spread her hands asking in a cradle.

It was with pleasure that rendy carried and slightly twisted his body. It became his routine.

" Papa, look what lapie gambal " (papa, look what picture rafir) the little boy pointed at the picture on the folding table.

" Let's see what picture rafie "Rendy approaches the folding table. Immediately bi saraa stood up.

Rendy took that picture. Smiling wonder. See a picture of a man and a woman holding a child's hand.

" Well, the picture is great. Rafie drew it himself? " Praise rendy.

Rafie shook her head, "Aided by grandma "

Grandma is rafie's favorite call to aunt Saras. Rendy laughed lightly. Aunt Saras smiled

" Well - Who is this? " Task Rendy. While staring at the picture of his son who seemed funny.

" This is lapie, this is papa, this is mama siti "

After hearing rafie mention siti with mama's call made her very surprised. Same with aunt Saras she was surprised. He did not know that his young master had a relationship with another woman. Because all he knows is rendy's alone. Aunt Saras stared at rendy full of question marks. Saw aunt saras who kept looking at her. Rendy smiled clumsyly. Through the eyes of aunt Saras asked for an explanation. Rendy nodded.

" Then rafie go ahead. Papa wants to change clothes first "

" Okey "Rafie down from Rendy's sling. Heading to his folding table then continued to color the picture.

Rendy took aunt saras out. They're heading for the lounge. Rendy sat down while leaning back her slightly tired body. And have aunt saras sit down too.

" Can the young master explain what that rafie master meant earlier? " ask aunt saras directly at the point. Rendy sighed for a moment.

" I'm not close to any woman. Just maybe not yet bi "

" Who was mama siti who was mama rafie? "

" He's my student bi. What I told my aunt at the time "

" I mean the young master the young master's first love. Mr. rafie already knows "

" yes. We met at the cafe. It turns out that Siti works there "

" Did the young man have any plans to marry her? "

Rendy nodded. He breathed deeply. Confused about such a situation. Aunt Saras was also seen breathing deeply. Then he approached rendy and sat down next to him.

" Pour young is like aunt's own child. Aunty will always agree with the decision of the young pour. I hope the future young master's escort candidate is the right woman for the young master. Who loves the young master sincerely without any reason. Love lord rafie like his own son. And able to be a complement to the happiness of the young master. It's just that aunty hesitates that Mr. go (father of Rendy) will approve of it or not "

" Surely father already wanted to match me with the daughter of his business partner. But I refused. I will also prove to my father that I can find my future wife within 1 month "

Aunt Saras was a little surprised, " Then what will the young master do? "

Rendy looked at aunt saras inside. He held the fragile hands of aunt Saras. Sighs deeply, "aunty, can auntie promise me she'll always keep rafie "

" Aunty will always promise "

" bi, maybe these few months I'll be very busy. From tomorrow I will teach again "

" why? "

" It's the only way I can get close to siti bi. And make siti love me "

The face of saras looks worried, "In 1 month it is impossible to make someone fall in love quickly. Is the young master convinced by this decision "

Rendy nodded steadily. He took off his hand at aunt Saras. Walk near the big window of his lounge. Fluttering curtains. Look at the full moon shining brightly in the sky.

" I know bi. At least I'll try. Effort will not betray the produce "

Rendy turned to look at bi saras, "Don't she?"

bi Saras smiled.

" Yes "

" Alright, I'll go to the clean room and prepare some books to teach tomorrow. Please accompany rafie ya bi "

" Good young master "

Rendy passed from that relaxed room. Bi saras stared at the departure of his young master. He smiled knot.

Bi Saras always prayed for the happiness of his young master. Which he considers like his own son.

May God be with you always, young master.
