In the afternoon, at Fandi's office, Fajrin's room.
”That's it?” Ask Fajrin.
”Iya,” Reply Fandi.
”Just do according to the agreement at the beginning. I don't want my company to suffer losses, nor do I want my colleagues to suffer losses.”
”Good, Sir,” says Fandi.
”Hum. If there's nothing else, I go first.” Fajrin stood up.
”Wait! Mr. Director,” Fandi held Fajrin who was about to leave his seat. Fajrin sat back down casually.
”What's the matter Mr Fandi? Isn't there no business you want to tell me anymore? Why still prevent me from going?” Fajrin changed his face, seriously looking at Fandi.
”Em... sorry, Sir! But, but, it's not about the job, Mr. Director. But I want to discuss personal issues with you. Please give Father a minute for me to talk.” Fandi was a little nervous looking at the sharp gaze from Fajrin.
Want to refuse an arranged marriage with your child! Don't hope! fajrin.
”Stupid?” Fajrin guessed Fandi's head.
”No need to rush, Mr Fandi! There are still two Weeks for certainty and rejection is not something I want to hear!” Rigorously. Fandi surprised.
”But...Sir! L am... Mr. Director, I don't know what makes you interested in my daughter. We are just a simple family, while Mr, Mr. distinguished people..” His words were immediately interrupted by Fajrin.
”No need to be convoluted in talking! I press again, I don't accept rejection! Father's son, Fitri Raihana, will be engaged to me two weeks in the future.” Fajrin again.
”But... Director sir! It would be nice if you met my daughter first. If my daughter is interested in you, I will agree to this engagement. But if my daughter is not interested..then.” Fandi did not continue his remarks because of the increasingly sharp and domineering gaze of Fajrin, his superior was to him. Fandi hesitated and was nervous.
”What is less clear to you? Me! Nah! Accept it! Rejection!” Fajrin confirmed his words. Fandi.
”Alright! Only two options for you.. Thank me for being your daughter-in-law or.. get out of this office!” Threatened him.
Fandi looked up, looking at Fajrin, his boss in a panic. He also did not believe that Fajrin threatened him with his job this time, which usually only threatened to reduce his salary and be demoted.
What should I answer? If I quit this job, which other office could accept me? Which other company can call me work? This company is the largest and leading company, in this city, even the number two recognized company in the world. If in the depak of this company, no other company will accept the former employees who are in the depak of this company.
”Sorry, Mr director! It is not that I reject the wishes of my father. I am grateful for your good intentions. But, this thing I have talked to Hana, Hana fell ill because of it. Kindly...” Fandi's words back in the pruning by Fajrin.
”Accept or exit! That's all your choice!” Fajrin. ”There are still two Weeks, don't rush!” He walked out of his room.
Fandi grunted in annoyance. He's confused. His position in this office is already high following with his salary.
If he left this company because he was deposed, any company would not accept him. If you go back to work here, it's impossible!
Not only that, if it has been in depak and included in the red list, his children and grandchildren can not apply for jobs in this company or in other companies.
”Hah! What should I do?”
Fandi was very worried. He was constantly breathing. He walked out of the director's room without any spirit.
Fandi's Room.
Fandi sat down to reflect on the words of Fajrin, his new boss.
”How about just go to the papa to talk about this?” Fandi Idea.
Tok tok! ”Excuse me, Sir!” There was a sound from the front door of Fandi's room.
”Log in!” Fandi allowed the man to enter.
Fandi saw the door of his room open. He saw Wati, his secretary stepped in to him while carrying two files in his hand.
”Pak, this is the file you will discuss in the meeting tomorrow! The details are all already inside, the data is also complete. Please Mr. correction again, if you still find something wrong, please tell me.” Wati put two files on the table, in front of Fandi.
”Iya, I will check it later.”
”Good, Sir! Sir, looks like you're in a doldrums today! Are you not healthy?” Tanya Wati, the secretary.
”No! I'm doing fine! You out! I'll call you if there's anything to change.”
”Alright! Excuse me, Sir!” Pamit Wati's.
”Hum!”
Wati came out of Fandi's room. Fandi leaned back his head, and sighed. Long in silence, he began to check the files on his desk.

In town C, in Randi's office.
”You're not getting ready? This is the seventh day of your late wife, Fitri.” Dito reminded Randi. Randi nodded slowly. His face looks lethargic.
”Hey...what's up? You're healthy, aren't you? It's been seven days since Fitri's death and you still exude your sad face. Wh why? His passing hurt you so much? Don't you love her?” Jaka Imbuh. Randi felt increasingly dizzy with the words of his two best friends.
”Cruel very Lo, Bro! Just relax! Your wish has already been achieved! The company is already 100% in your name.” Dito.
”Can you two not be noisy like this! I'm getting dizzy!” Randi spoke with a sniffle.
Dito and Jaka looked at each other. Is Randi really in love with Fitri?
”What else makes you dizzy? A hum? Your marriage to Cindy will soon be legalized. All Fitri's assets have fallen into your hands. What makes you happy? Or...” Dito purposely hung his words. He seriously saw Randi.
Randi is pecking at Dito. Jaka also sees Dito, they wait for what connection from Dito's speech.
”Don't you actually fall in love with Fitri and losing her makes you very sick. Yes, right?” Guess Dito.
Jaka raised his eyebrows next to look at Randi. He waited for what reaction from Randi to Dito's speech?
”Yes. I do love Fitri. unfortunately. that feeling I realized after her departure.” Randi honestly admitted his feelings.
Jaka and Dito looked at each other, they could not believe it, Dito's guess turned out to be true!
”I feel sorry now! I never appreciated him, but he always respected me, respected me. Her shadow always haunts me inside that house.” It was obvious in Randi's eyes that he was so sorry.
Drrtt! Drrtr! Randi's phone rang. He looked at the screen of his father who was calling.
”Halo! Pa, what's up?” With a lazy Randi raised his phone.
”You still ask what is it?” Andika spoke slowly. He saw the people in his house. Everyone is waiting for the deceased husband Fitri to attend.
”Randi, it's the seventh day of your late wife! Come and attend the show!”
”Yes, Pa! Soon Randi to there.” Randi hung up the phone, unilaterally. He breathed while closing his eyes.
”You're going?” ask Jaka. Randi nodded.
”Ayo, go! We will accompany you.” Dito has stood up. Jaka stood up, Randi stood up lazily.
”Come, go!” Take Randi. He came out of his room. Jaka and Dito followed behind him.

At Andika's house.
”Where is this kid? Why haven't you come?” Grumpy Andika slowly. He was so worried, Randi had not come yet. While the show is about to start. The show will not start until the deceased's husband arrives.
And not only that, what made him even more anxious was the rumors he heard from the assembly mothers, who attended the event.
The car stopped in front of the house. Andika immediately stood up and came out to welcome Randi.
”Randi! Hurry inside! They've been waiting for you from earlier.” Andika pulls Randi's hand slowly.
”Iya, Pa. Slow down! This Randi has also come.” Sandy with laziness.
”Assalamu 'alaikum!” Randi greeted me as he walked into the house. Dito, Jaka, and Andika also entered the house.
”Wa 'alaikum hail warahmatulli wabarakatuh!” Greet everyone in the house. Randi shakes hands with the priest.
”Sorry, Mr. Kyai, I came late. There is an office business that cannot be delayed.” Randi told a lie, if it wasn't forcible from his father, he wouldn't have come. He sat beside the priest.
”Nothing! What matters is that you have arrived! Now we can start the show.”
”Yes, Mr. Kyai, please!” Randi. Kyai started his show.
Randi was pensive, looking at the wedding photos of Fitri and herself, who were still hanging on the wall.
Fitri's gentle attitude, Fitri's attention, Fitri's affection for her is reflected again in her eyes.
Fitris...Mas sorry! I am really sorry! After your departure, Mas just realized, Mas loves you, Fit. I'm sorry, I've been ignoring you for ten months. I'm sorry, Fit!
Unaware of her tears flowing. Dito and Jaka were stunned to see him. They've never seen Randi this sad before.
Even when she broke up with Cindy, she wasn't this sad. Randi really loves Fitri.
If only you were back. They will watch you every day. They will not torture you. Mas will replace all bad treatment with affection for you.
Randi's cry broke out as Pak Kyai recited prayers for the late Fitri.
Make the people who are there sad. Even Dito and Jaka could not believe seeing that.
”It turns out that Mr. Randi loves his wife very much, yes! Rumors circulating about Randi's affair, not true!”
”Yes, Mr. Randi was devastated by the departure of the deceased! Look, Randi is crying like that! Wherever possible sir Randi does not love the deceased!”
”Iya, true!”
Whispers of mothers who attended the seven-day event of the late Fitri.
