Sinar has just arrived in front of the AGIOV VOLKS Group building held by Noren Agustion Giovano, his best friend and one of the leading young businessmen in Asia. Where he is also one of the son of a respected conglomerate. From the past, Sinar has also been amazed by the performance displayed by Noren. The once quiet child was indeed very diligent and talented. His business understanding also seemed to be passed down from great hands.
Looking at the large building before his eyes, Rays hummed. Although he was also one of Noren's businesspeople and coworkers, his company was still supported by Noren himself. Making a mutually beneficial cooperation alliance so that he himself always travels at home and abroad when his father entrusts the company to him.
Actually starting today, he doesn't have to come to Noren's company. He could send his assistant to take care of the paperwork and contracts for the branch he previously held in Japan. But, since it's Noren, and all of you hanging out together later in the day, so she goes alone.
With a smile plastered on his face because he had just gotten a sweet reply from Hala, the funny woman he had been aiming for who had since met had made him fall in love, so he entered the building. Some people who knew him bowed politely to her and greeted her. Rays greeted me kindly. Riding the building elevator to reach Noren's office, he approached the secretary who was taking care of the files on his desk.
“For Sister Nabila” she greeted politely, leaning her body on the table chart, not expecting the Woman to be surprised by the two eyeballs that were almost splashed out, making Sinar have to hold his laughter.
“E-eh, Morning, Mr. Cakrawijaya. Welcome” Nabila smiled after her shock and stood up immediately. “You want to meet Mr Giovano, yes? But I'm sorry, Mr. Giovano hasn't arrived this morning, most likely in a moment. Please wait inside, sir. I will inform Mr. Giovano of your arrival”
The woman smiled kindly, bowing slightly to show her performance. The light nodded before pulling himself up and looking at the door of Noren's room. “Thank you very much, mbak Nabila. Ah, and next time do not focus too much, you will have a heart attack if you are often surprised” Light laughs off. Nabila was grieving, pouting, but replied sarcastically.
“Well, not just anyone often surprises me. Next time if the road uses a voice yes, sir, so that you are not suspected of ghosts or demons, Mr. Cakrawijaya” he sneered.
The light stared at him with an amused look before shaking his head. “OK, Thanks for the suggestion. Ah, it turns out you're not as I thought you were. Nice work. Until later mbak Nabila” Sinar blinked one eye before waving and entering the room. Nabila shook his head with the absurd behavior of his boss's best friend before taking a cell phone and telling his boss that Sinar came to visit.
Actually, Noren's office itself is like home. It is very comfortable and even the atmosphere is suitable for a room. That's because Noren always spent time there, even taking care of some things until he could not go home at all. Noren is a perfectionist, which is why he even has his own mattress behind his office door.
“You took the file?”
“Eh, satan! damn you ngagetin I aj” Sinar stroked his chest when Noren was suddenly in the room. His face looks fresh, but usually he is stiff and always shows a lazy expression when alone with the Light.
Noren shrugged his shoulders before choosing to sit in his big chair, grabbing his favorite glasses and taking out the file he had been preparing since last night. “Everything if you have ears, to listen. The door sounds until it does not cry lo” The light frowns, but Noren is used to dealing with things like this.
“Ya relax aja, ah. Still early in the morning also do not be sensational, deh” Quickly Sinar stood up and took the documents from Noren's desk. The boy started scrolling through his tab and opened the company's app to check his daily schedule. It is indicated that he will conduct important meetings on the company's latest electric car circuit and the development of innovations from leading companies for the alliance.
“Gue is sensi, anyway. Uh, anyway why do you dateng here yourself like not have a sekre aja lo”
“Yes how, I want nyapa lo aja, anyway. You do not like your handsome friend gini nyamperin lo?. We have long been unable to get time together, once together you even tell me to go” Sinar sneered, opened the document and felt satisfied. His eyes returned to Noren and his brows furrowed when he saw the small smile on his friend's stiff face. “Eh very happy anyway lo kayaknya. What's up, huh?”
Noren muttered happily, “Has jalanin my progress, to take heart adek lo” he chuckled a little. “Gue is now a guy with a bright future goal dong, ah. I have been waiting for a long time also to make deketin adek lo” his eyes sparkle brightly, Ray looked at him with a look like he wanted to slap.
“So really I said, you haven't had a future” he looked at Noren, shook his head with mirirs “But you can be in this position as easily as flipping a palm. Ren, flies may be envious half dead same time ya”
“Still in the morning don't digress, have. You also know I'm trying, ‘kan?”
“Iya deh yes. Tagged by doang, you” Sinar put the documents on the table, pulled his phone out and sat back comfortably on the soft sofa of office space. There was a moment of silence because Noren was indeed too lazy to speak. Do not be curious about the friendship relationship between the two bro how, yes, they sometimes if again diem ya diem, if again the splashy yes heboh.but mostly diemnya anyway because for Sinar, Sinar, Noren is hard to tell. Wants to be kept in a row, eh? Depends, for a specific context actually.
Again in a comfortable silent mode, the phone Ray suddenly rang in his hand. Her beautiful sister's name is sweetly listed there with caller name Nalily using a red heart emoticon at the end. Lisa used to be amused by her brother who was alay, continued to protest why her name was changed Lily, apparently because the sister likes the flower Lily and her sister was considered as beautiful as the flower, it was, be Lisa to let her sister name her contact that way. Consider him happy because of the many friends who protest because their sister is beautiful, he has a romantic brother who is kind and handsome again. But baby, sometimes stupid and bucini collaborated. Sometimes it can be a bego if kept.
“Eh long life, just talked about” Noren who from earlier busy with new scheduling and incoming emails, broke his neck to see the grinning Rays in front of his phone. Noren's heart was flowery, It must have been because Lisa had already received her gift in the morning. His future wife would like to thank him for being an angel this beautiful morning.
“Lisa, yes? lift up, if you can lo speakers yes, Nar”
The light snickered before picking up the phone and pressing the speaker button.
“Hal--,”
“Where are you now?!”
Just now Sinar wanted to greet his sister sweetly, Lisa had already raised her tone, sounding very irritated when it was still morning.
“Gue? I'm yeah in the office, deck. Why are you so emotional early in the morning? Later beautiful lost you know, Dek” Sinar tried to seduce the sister.
“In his office who are you brother? Answer honestly! I am emotion nih”
Frowning, Sinar looked at Noren curiously. While the one being stared at only gave a happy grin and shrugged before telling Sinar to continue the conversation.
“Gue in his office candidate lo, nih. want to take-“
“Speaker yes phone. I want to scream at him. I am so glad I anjir! where do I put my face???”
“Eh, lo why deck?” Panic rays. “Lo why me, anyway Ren? until angry still early morning gini?”
Noren had a big smile.Know for sure Lisa would react like this. “Ngot doing, really. I even gave her a cake with flowers to the office. Ask for help Danang just made a titipin to Mas Leo” Noren spoke as if he had no burden at all. Lisa at the end of there is already a high level of emotion.
“Eh, Mas Leo kan-,”
“LO WHY TALK TO MY BOSS, ANYWAY?!! IF I GET FIRED, HOW DID ANJIR? MY JOB IS AT STAKE! Lo shy Iuee, I HATE!”
Fortunately, Sinar held his phone firmly, otherwise the phone was thrown because Lisa shouted at the speaker. Noren laughed loudly, funny to tears. Very fond of Lisa dong her.
“EH? Crazy, huh Brother? I can still laugh! people–people on my geliatin and rusuhin me! who would play into my life like this? ruined all my calm. I'm glad to see you again. I hate!”
Lisa whined annoyed from the other end. Sinar sighed, knowing this would be the case. The emotional Lisa plus Noren is a bit crazy.
“Dek.. udah do not get angry–mur still morning you know, deck. Calm down, will you?” Sinar tried to calm Lisa, but his sister was stubborn when she was upset.
“No want, you know not, anyway? I'm being raided by the same questions office kids. I'm ashamed of Leo too! I've always been a professional if I work, do you destroy everything you know? I hate that I want to marry you! not at all!”
“Dek.” The light breathed in. Glared at Noren who still looks happy as if Lisa's speech was just a bluff. Well, Sinar Tau, Noren will do anything for his sister. Sure. And the future of his sister, just by looking at Noren alone Sinar can know that later the marriage will continue. “Lo ah Ren, kasian nih adek me. ‘And I told you not to miss”
“Gue is still within reasonable limits, kok” He looks calm, before pointing at the phone to hint at disconnecting as if it's not from Lisa's only one, but also from her, his future candidate later and the person who had been loved by Noren himself. “Close so he can go back to work again” he continued.
“Eh Lo don't playin me huh brother Noren! don't see me again and don't send anything weird to me again. I've blacklisted my life!” Lisa grumbled, this time in an annoyed tone that was more serious than before as if trying to give a final warning.
“Yes try it anyway, deck. Later you will also say the wedding vows with me, kok” Noren chuckles funny. Lisa almost shouted before Sinar quickly closed the connection with his sister. He let out a loud sigh before throwing the phone at the sofa next to him.
“Lo is very willing to make my adek angry”
Noren laughs funnyly leaning back in his chair and staring at Sinar with a thin smile. “So he's funny if he's angry again. I can imagine how excited he is now” Sinar can indeed see how the amused view turns into a sad view full of feelings. Sighing again, Sinar stood up and waved the document at Noren.
“Yah understand anyway, I know you love so adek me from the past. But yes, I give you a warning not to play crazy. That's my diamond. If there is anything with him, I feel like I failed to be brother”
Noren nodded, understanding the feeling conveyed. “Tenak aja bro, I've said that you do not need to fear” Noren standing, approaching the Rays and patting his best friend's shoulder. “Have already, now you keep good–well lo company. Our shares are high and many other companies are targeting to cooperate with us. Cooperation alliance with South Korea begins next week. Don't forget preparation”
The light nodded and patted Noren on the back. Giving a little confidence that he can channel “Gue back first. I can't have lunch together. I have to work with a new team and a new team. Ordinary, busy at the beginning of” He laughed before lightly stepping out of the room.
“Nar,” Sinar turned from call. “Gue wait progress lo also” She grinned. The light shook with a face that looked like Noren had just thrown a silly remark. “Don't wait, still long I mah”
“Gue supports this time therefore the response”
“Yes yesaaa! I must be anjir's effort. Lo by the way it feels like we are people–people who are sad, you know, sih”
Noren laughed in satisfaction before kicking Sinar out of his office playfully. Rays grumbled, but still followed the transmission of Noren's laughter like a plague.
“Ya, you do not lose dong sama si Hexa-Heks it”
The beam was silent for a moment, before finally his brain caught the ridicule from Noren. His eyes glared sharply at the younger one, but what he said afterwards was a hint that he was following the direction of Noren's game.
“Whisper lo, who wants to lose yes, anjir”
“Yaudah, there you go back!”
“Yes, this is also coming back!”
“Yaudah, back!”
“Iya, I'm back on this!”
“Yes, there!”
“Eh, don't you see this I'm stepping again?”
“Ngak. My eyes siwer”
“Aamiin”
“Go no, lo!”
Fortunately, Nabila was immune to the absurd behavior of two people who were unfortunately handsome and had that power. So, this strange soap opera performance had already made her able to endure the scorn and shock whenever this scene became a spectacle of her two eyes.
For Nabila, the image of Noren and Sinar, no longer exists.
...….....
Lisa stared at her dead phone with soaked emotions. He's angry, he's upset actually. The morning was destroyed just like that. Although it seemed like the fortune cookie was waving around to get Lisa to try it because, well, who doesn't like that crispy little cookie?. Lisa sighed, she would not accept anything Noren gave her anymore. The man was damn once had ruined his potential and professionalism in the office and moreover ruined his composure.
Lisa is not at all fond of people who start asking her and looking at her with various views. Some are envious, some are excited and some congratulate him.Even until there are curious and hysterical because the richest person in Asia can target Lisa as a potential partner. Her boss also knew that Noren gave her the title as a future wife. But Lisa ‘kan does not like it!
She dislikes Noren and she doesn't like the excessive attention the office kids are showing her who are now trying to get close to the various questions they must have left to Lisa.
Lisa hit her head on the table after throwing her phone into the bag. Flowers were still fresh all around him and the fortune cookie box was still trying to call him to eat. Sighing heavily, he raised his gaze at the people who were still staring at him with big eyes. Even after he yelled on the phone and said bad things about Noren and even listed the big facts that he wouldn't accept Noren, still people only care about the fact that Lisa is Noren's bride-to-be at a time that would even be a nightmare.
But take it easy, the marriage will not run smoothly if one of the parties does not want it?. Well, he'll stick to his hatred of Noren.
Even when Lisa stared at the members of her division, they were still too shocked and almost in disbelief. Hala division colleagues who already know, whispering frenzied there. There were even those who sneered and cried over her life why not be as lucky as Lisa. Hello, who's lucky here, anyway? It's bad luck and not luck.
Why should Hala be summoned by Mr Leo? though his best friend will definitely protect Lisa and shout at others who want to disturb Lisa. Huh, Lisa's pissed off half to death.
Lisa was just about to lift the Noren-given cake to hand out to the rest of the office children when Elena squealed in her chair and looked at Lisa with strange eyes. Lisa retreated before Elena pounced on her abruptly, but the presence of Anela and Ayu behind her had already caused horror all around her. Lisa's life will no longer be the same as yesterday.
Goodbye to a quiet life forever.
“Ka-you guys did it, anyway? Want cake?” Lisa lifts the cake box towards Ayu and Anela. I swear Lisa wanted to just drown Noren in the ground. Why did he have to go through this crazy morning, anyway?
“Noren, yes?”
“Calon, yes?”
Anela narrowed her eyes, followed by Ayu who looked at her with a look that was like asking for a stamp. Lisa was upset. Uh, it feels like he's very dwarfed at times like this. Though usually he is seen as perfect by all division children! Ugh, suck!.
“Say yesterday there was no boyfriend! no boyfriend, no future husband!” Elena said it was as if she was not the one who doused gasoline on the fire, not the one who sprayed lemon on the wound or salt on the snail! damn these people make Lisa even more upset at the troublemaker.
“Eh, it's not really kok!” Lisa's head is dizzy. He really wanted to throw the cake in his friends' faces. He wanted to hide for the whole time of his life.
“I-This, you guys want a cake? this I want to share, you know. Want huh? but don't be noisy like this, okay?” Lisa blinks that look like a ringing, asking her gossip mates for help and is always excited to close all unnecessary talks on this gloomy morning.
“Ih gamauu!! want story! anyway you have to tell the same story we-we ya!” Anela suddenly turned bright and enthusiastic.
“Iya, uh! it's crazy to swear at that Noren! I need to know what the story is. You must have a good seductive trick! I want dong” Ayu is also not helpful at all. His words were even cheered by the office's son.
“Lis, really, really, I already have a candidate. Any wedding I invited exclusively, yes?” Elena who had somehow jumped out of her chair pulled Lisa's hand and shook it with a bang. Lisa bites her deep cheek so as not to throw everything into the face of her annoying fellow–.
she glanced around for help, and right then and there, Lisa felt that she had obtained an angelic figure that helped her gloomy morning.
“You guys why, anyway? don't you want a cake for breakfast in the morning? Free, lho”
Miss Jelita!
The chairman of the planning division began to take over the atmosphere to be more conducive. Gracefully, she stood up and took the cake box in Lisa's hand. Lifting it to her foster children with a pretty knotty smile. Lisa really felt saved.
“Ih, Miss Jelita is not exciting! this is the first time we can know the love story Lisa” Elena whines at the chairman, followed by Ayu and Anela. “Iya, yes. What the hell, Miss Jelita? it's a new case of hot gossip, you know! it should be filed”
“If you guys are interested, you want me to give more tasks to you. Want?” Jelita threatened with a smile. His foster children frowned and quickly gave up. “Ih, malesin. Anyway Lisa, we're not done yet. Girls time will be together!!” They with their round eyes pleaded. Lisa assured him she would pull Hala out and would not let Hala off her side lest she deal with them. Just look at it later.
“E-eh.. that,.”
“Udah, don't bother Lisa anymore. We did a lot of work this morning, ‘kan? Here's the cake eaten, look at your fortune gih, who knows so the morning booster” Jelita offers a box of cakes that they take with pleasure before they sit back in their seats and lackeys with their respective jobs. But of course it still rattles with whispers.
Why are these women so horrible?
Well, Lisa realized she was also a woman and such a thing was natural because she also often preached with Jihan and Hala. but why is this so horrible, anyway?.
“This is to be shared, ‘kan? love to others?”
Jelita surprises her, but Lisa nods enthusiastically and follows Jelita to share the cake.
Jelita is a figure who has always been the proudest role model. Jelita is always good and is the best coach for Lisa. She will be like Jelita someday. Lisa was very excited about that.
...….....
The cake division is done. They were now in the lounge, replacing yesterday's flowers with fresh flowers that Noren gave this morning. It was red, much prettier if Lisa could appreciate it better.
Jelita was cutting some stems so as not to be too tall for the vase, and she did so painstakingly. Lisa followed.
“So, Lisa's taste is classy Noren Agustion Giovano, heir to AGIOV VOLKS Group, yes?”
Jelita suddenly– asked with a hint of temptation. Lisa took a long breath. Sit on the chair and take a few spiked red flower stems in his hand carefully. His feet swayed gently. He didn't want to talk about this, but if Jelita asked nicely like that, maybe he would try to talk.
Jelita is her role model after all.
“The story is long, anyway.” He stroked the petals of a flower, smiling slicedly. “He is an acquaintance of my Brother.. But I just met and well, suddenly it could be like”
Lisa spoke lazily. There was absolutely no mood to talk about Noren. Jelita smiles. Take a flower in Lisa's hand and put it in a vase and sit next to the woman Cakrawijaya. Lisa blushed.
“Wah, means he dong who fell in love with you. Must seneng dong” Jelita take a cake box that still left some more cake.
“Iya the hell should be like that, but unfortunately this is even the opposite. Don't need any of that. Feelings cannot be imposed, ‘kan, Miss?” Lisa turned to Jelita who handed her one cake in front of her eyes. There was a smile there and Lisa frowned confusedly.
“No want” She refused, but Jelita took her hand and put the cake there.
“No matter how you feel. But this cake is delicious, and there's luck in it. After all, this is your personal matter and should you decide, ‘ right? I can't interfere, but I want the best for you” Jelita looked at Lisa, patting the boy's head funny. “But what's wrong with receiving something that's been given to you for free? Come on, try the cake” first
Lisa sighed, she wanted to keep resisting, but Jelita was still stubborn and waited for her to react immediately. So, inevitably he split the cake to take the paper out of it and blinked when he read it.
“You can refuse if you do not like the person, but who knows with these small things you can be comfortable and catch the feeling for him slowly even if only a very small opportunity. And, oh yes, the contents are good, you”
Lisa was still silent and stared at the small paper until she was unconscious when Jelita had already pulled away with the vases of fresh flowers in her hand.
“Kak Noren.”
...…...
The light stared at the documents in his hand. The office lunch was only a few minutes away, but he didn't want to get out of his chair. Noren's words this morning really made his mind crumble and he felt upset and moody. It feels upset, worried, upset too. She's confused. It feels like just lying down and releasing this tired all.
Everything is only because Noren is the damn thing that has made his brain work far enough to think about his love story.
This is all about his sister's best friend. Ionatta Alyssum Andromeda Hala, who had ravaged him. All this time he had been trying to attract the attention of the child, but still it felt like he had no movement at all. There was nothing, not even him and the boy could be seen in the frame of romance at all.
Thinking that, Sinar ruffled his hair as a scowl rubbed it.
Why the hell, he wasn't given all the perfection?
Looks, materials, business and career he's got everything. Only love is zero.
Actually many have been after him, but still he can not turn away from the woman with the strange name. Why is he so pathetic? Hala did not see her as anything, perhaps even just as her sister Lisa. Yeah, yeah, that's because he's rarely in the same place to approach the boy because his cross-country work is very busy and he can't be in town in a matter of weeks. Perhaps that was why Hala could not see his feelings either.
Light put his documents in the drawer, leaned back and closed his eyes. Listening to the sound of the clock ticking also feels disturbing. Lunch time will be here any minute.
The light groaned before pulling his phone out and dialing Hala's phone number without a second thought. It would be foolish for Hala to think it was strange. He also did not want to lose to Noren! He must have a more specific approach!.
The light felt his heart thump as a continuous tone filled his ears, almost forgetting to breathe when Hala's voice entered his ears.
“Halo, Brother Sinar?”
Yesampun, hearing the boy say his name he missed.
“Ah, yes dek” she almost misbehaved. Hala asked confusedly across there.
“Sorry if you are disturbing. But soon lunch, you have a plan?” The rays of anxious hope. Actually sure will be rejected, but ‘kan he has tried by trying.
“Ah yes, yes. Want lunch hour. I forgot you know, kak” Hala seems to be a crime. He was heard talking to some people around before returning to Sinar. “So there is a lot of work, did not even have time to meet Lisa after the scene was” Aduh, Sinar felt very happy when Hala laughed off. It felt like just listening like this had already melted his weak heart.
“Most will eat the same Lisa. Why kak?”
Little smiling light. “Pengen is sure to eat together anyway, dek” Yes, Sinar know he has a lunch appointment with his secretary and team members, but he wants to at least meet the pujaan liver. Well, he's also sure he'll be rejected, anyway..
“Eh brother, ‘kan brother far. It also cannot be loose. If the same sister ‘kan must definitely be loose, especially Lisa must be really excited later”
Tuh ‘kan rejected..
“Yes yes, definitely Noren problem ‘kan, ya” Sinar also there work and lunch appointments actually, the disappointment may not be too deep, but still the rejection from Hala is the worst. Sinar even wondered why the boy always tried to reject all his invitations when the woman knew that they would come out alone.
“Yaudah, next time. Later I will be ngajakin brother first, deh”
Well, promised like this Sinar was happy not to play. “Yes, deck? beware, if you lie I gentayangin lo”
“Iya my brother I promise. relax anyway the same I”
Honestly, Sinar was eager to meet.
“Eh, if later brother pick up would not? After work?”
Noren said there must be progress, ‘kan? Light is always smart to look for an opportunity. “All of themenin sister shopping, want?”
There is a long silence. Sinar may not have expected much, but he knew he would definitely not get the answer he wanted today.
“Yeah, brother. I have an appointment. Sister is late ngajakinya”
Well, ‘kan.
“Emang promise to whom dek?”
“Hehe, same Hexa, brother. Want to get him to workout, anyway. He also promised me I would make sure I play the timezone. Continue to be promised will be purchased food for Pipang”
Anyway, just by hearing Hala as happy as that, Sinar was happy. Well, even though he wouldn't lie if there was something that slightly cut his heart.
“Well, I lost start again, Deh” Sinar giggled, a bit hollow but he tried not to show it. “Tomorrow if I look out, I don't want to. Luangin time for Brother Dong once in a while. The same path of handsome people has nothing to lose, you” Trying to lift the atmosphere, even though Sinar feels like wanting to roll on a mattress only.
“Didih, always yes, brother! Uh but okay, deh. The origin of the Seblak Mbak Mega tract at the intersection of the monument, yes! two bowls!”
“Don't take two bowls of deck, mbak Meganya also I can buy for lo” Hala chuckled across there. The light chuckles. His heart is contracting again with love.
“Oh yes, sana lo go eat. Relax too, my friend, yes. Kasian he must be his temperament again shake.lo eat a lot too, later I ask Lisa, watch you eat a little, yes!”
“Aman brother, I'm his queen eat” he giggles funny. If Hala was in front of Sinar right now, Sinar was sure he would have grabbed the cute cheek and pinched it with anxiety. Because indeed Hala could always make her hand move to squeeze her cute face and melt all her sanity out of pity. Yes, that little ray with his sister's best friend.
Well, love is laughable, man.
The beam hung up his phone connection then before sighing deeply. His phone rotated in his hand and he stared at the glass on his left which displayed the sweltering outside atmosphere of the building.
“...Hex Juvi Nagaskara”
“Sometimes later I will definitely be able to get rid of you from Hala's mind. Pasti”
