"I want to meet Mr. Arya Hadinata the owner of this company," Vico told the man.
"I am Arya Hadinata," the middle-aged lria pointed at her.
"Thank God I could meet my dad here. I'm sorry we met under these circumstances. I was here to apply for a job at the father's company, but I saw that there was no problem in this cooperative, so I tried to help this mbak earlier. Introduce me Vico Darmawan," said Vico as he extended his hand.
"Oh yes, then we talk in my room aja mas," said Arya welcome a helping hand Vico.
They are now in Arya's work room. Arya's face is visible when she looks at the man sitting in front of her.
"Mas Vico's. I want to say thank you for the help earlier, if there is no mas Vico may not know how my employees were,"
"Yes sir, I just happened to enter earlier but seeing the robbery I was willing to help."
The middle-aged man nodded his head.
"Oh yeah, Mas Vico knows where this office is from?"
"I'm a friend of Hans', so yesterday's time in the workshop had stories about work so Hans said here there was a job vacancy,"
"Yes, we need marketing in this company. Coincidentally, I was moving in the retail field more precisely buying and selling cars so I again need marketing marketing, if I may know what the sub-district mas?"
"I'm still in high school sir, the most in this year I've just graduated school."
The man had thought, because Vico was still in school but considering the boy had helped him he became sympathetic to the young man.
"Hm, ga anything mas. Vico wants to work in marketing? Have you ever worked in that field before?"
"I used to be a mechanic, sir."
"Well that's good, I think I also need a mechanic dech. Later on Vico I promoted to head of the workshop here. Let's match the basic Vico's previous work."
"I want to sir. It's really worth it."
"Well, tomorrow morning come to my office?"
"Sorry sir like this I'm still in school and in two weeks I have exams for school graduation so I ask for a dispensation until the end can sir?" ask Vico while hesitating.
"All right, no problem. I'm waiting for you to work here." Tukas Arya to him.
How happy Vico is because he can get a job in that place. In that place it is closer to his home than the workshop where he worked first so it would be better for him to work in that place.

Adi was busy checking the financial statements in his office, as a result of the actions of Johan and Farah Adi company suffered a considerable loss but fortunately Adi was still able to control the company's spending budget.
Tok...
Someone's out there knocking on Adi's office door.
"Yes in,"
Deby opened the door and said, "sir, the receptionist said there are guests who want to see you?"
"Who?" Adi scrunched his forehead. It felt like today he had no appointment with anyone but why would any guests want to meet him?
"I don't know much sir. Said old friend Adi."
"Yes, you told me to go into my room."
"Good sir."
Deby called the woman.
The middle-aged woman who could be said to be fashionable at her age who was already four-headed. Beautiful, elegant and glamorous. Any man who looks up to him will be fascinated.
The woman knocked on Adi's office door.
"Can I come in?" a beautiful woman pokes her head at the door.
"Yes, please come in," Adi said as he watched.
"Hi Adi Leonardo's. It's been a long time since we've met ya" the woman approached Adi and stretched out her hand.
"Sorry who is this mom?" she pecked at the woman's face trying to remember if she had met the woman before.
The woman screeched "Have you really forgotten me?"
"Sorry where have we met?" Adi opened his glasses and watched the woman.
The woman opened her sunglasses and flicked her curly hair forward. Then displayed a smile with her deep dimples.
"You? Rebeca?" point at Adi while advancing her body towards the table in front of her.
"Luckily you still remember me" the woman smiled sweetly.
Wherever Adi may forget, Rebeca, her name Rebeca Violina is Adi's college friend. The woman was the prima donna of the campus and every man was crazy about her. Likewise with Adi which is one of the Rebeca options. They had a long relationship, but fate did not side with them, because Adi had to study in America so they split up and had lost contact.
"Where have you been? I've been calling you so many times since I went to America but instead your contact was changed and I don't know at all."
"Calm Adi, I'll explain it to you. At least let me sit down first" the woman told him.
"I almost forgot, because of the shock of seeing you in front of me I forgot to tell you to sit down. Come sit down and tell me why."
The woman is now sitting in front of the man. Adi looked at every inch of the woman's face. Nothing changes she is still as beautiful as she used to be, only now the woman looks more mature in age.
"I'm sorry Adi, I have to meet under these circumstances. How's it going? Is your family okay?" The woman was a little stale.
"I? Yes as you can see I'm alone now." Said the woman flat.
"I mean how's your son and husband?"
"Kids? Yeah, I have a kid but he's in America and he's going to college soon, what about your son?"
"My son is also the same age as your son but married."
"How can you?" The woman widened her eyes in surprise.
"Later we'll talk about that. Oh, as I remember you were married to Fabian, the wealthy businessman? How's things going?" Adi switched their conversation.
The woman breathed a heavy sigh. "Hm, yes I did marry her, but we have separated. She prefers that bule woman over me."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mention that. I think your relationship with him is still fine."
"It's okay Adi. I don't think about it anymore either."
"Lantas, what brought you back to Indonesia after fifteen years in America."
"That's my main reason for coming here. You know my dad was one of the investors in your company and now he's asking me to run his business."
"really? Who's daddy? I've never known about your family, because you've always been covering up about our relationship and your family from me." The man's face expressed his disappointment.
"I didn't mean to hide our relationship, I just wasn't ready to introduce you to Dad back then because we were in college. It would be better for me to introduce you to dad when we are both established" the woman said.
That's true what he said, too, if he introduced Adi at that time there must be only a rejection from his father or his extended family but if they see the success of Adi at this time they must agree with the choice of his son, he said, but unfortunately it is not possible because Adi has a harmonious family.
"Yes I understand that, but I wonder who your father is?"
Tanya Adi was curious about her unanswered question from earlier.
"Mrs. Clarkson ... Mr. Clarkson Anderson is my father."
Adi recalls his memory of Mr. Clarkson Anderson's. Yes the man was one of the influential investors delivering his project at that time.
"So Mr. Clarkson's your dad?".
The woman nodded her head.
"Waw this is really a coincidence. I worked with your father and now I'm confronted with his daughter directly as my business partner."
Adi shook his head in surprise as well as admiration for the woman. The world is really narrow for him at the moment, he is reunited with women in his past. I hope it's not a bad sign for his life.

Silvi and Marinka are in the mall, they are shopping for baby Silvi equipment later. Because currently the age of the womb has three months Silvi wants to prepare for the needs of her baby.
"Hi jeng, I didn't think we'd meet here." A woman and her daughter approach Marinka and Silvi.
"Eh, jeng Vina." Marinka looks at her friendly smile.
Riana who saw Silvi immediately hugged him while watching and rubbed Silvi's stomach slightly enlarged.
"Sorry to jeng. Silvi's wedding time can not be present, because yesterday it was again a holiday to Japan."
"Well, rich people. Vacation to Japan." Marinka.
"Sorry Sil, I can't come, but I have a gift for you." Riana said while holding Silvi's hand.
It was not just a coincidence that they met. Indeed, Riana and her mother deliberately wanted to buy a gift for Silvi and drive her to Silvi's house but because she had met in person, Riana decided to give it to Silvi.
"Ga don't bother Ri" Silvi told him.
"This makes the shopping abis plan to stop by your house but it seems too late afternoon is not good as well. I happen to meet you so I love you." Riana took out a box from her bag and gave her gift to Silvi.
Silvi received the gift and opened it immediately. It was a necklace. "This is so pretty."
"Take it straight," Vina told the girl.
Riana immediately helped Silvi put the necklace on to Silvi's neckline. The necklace looks beautiful perched on the neck of the girl's level.
Still is. That feeling came back. Why was it that every time the eye looked at his eyes there was something that felt so close to him that it could not be explained in words? A glance of that thought appeared in Vina's mind.
"Ma... mama... mama why?" Riana shook her mother's arm slowly.
Vina flinched, her daydream instantly crumpled. "No son. Mama ain't nothing."
Vina was still staring at Silvi with a hard to interpret gaze.
"Ma, come home late in the afternoon." Pinta Riana on her mother.
Vina just nodded her head.
"Jeng, didn't you stop by the house?" Take Marinka.
"I stopped by sometime. It was too late afternoon. Riana's papa kasian must have been waiting," said the woman.
They eventually split up at that place. Silvi and Marinka were astonished, with Vina being instantly silent as she looked into Silvi's eyes. What exactly was he thinking?
"Silvi, do you feel nothing strange from Aunt Vina's gaze earlier?"
"Yes ma, I feel sich only I don't know what he thinks of Aunt Vina. I think he's gonna say something but I don't know what?"
They stared at each other in confusion, but they ended the question that came to their minds by breaking eye contact and then going home together.
