The fifth day of Tian's departure was still without news..
“How about Mr Rudi meeting accompanied by Arini only ?”
Arini who had just set foot back in the room suddenly turned to the sound. He saw Rudi and Vera standing at Vera's desk, and his gaze was now fixed on her.
‘What is this ?’
“Arini.”
Arini stepped her feet towards the two people who were standing with confused faces when Vera called her name with gestures that signaled Arini to get closer.
Doubt Arini set foot closer to Vera and Rudi, the closer Arini could see clearly that at this time the look of Vera's face looked pale. Vera even grimaced a little like holding something painful.
“Why are you, Ver ? Pain ?”
Vera shakes. ”It's not a pain as usual, Arini. I'm just coming by the moon and somehow right now it feels really painful. Not usually I'm like this,“ Vera complains then looks Arini straight.
A second later Arini was still
confused by what Vera is currently wanting from him. “Then.. what can I help you with ?” Ask Arini at the end.
“Please replace me to accompany Mr. Rudi meeting well. I am really not strong at this time,”
Arini looked at Vera with her pale, parched face. “I..? but I.”
Arini's gaze moved on Rudi as if looking for clues as to what he should do, while Rudi was still speechless, Rudi was still confused himself seeing the state of Vera who was still faithfully grimacing.
Actually Arini did not mind to replace Vera, but.. what later he will be useful ? during this time his status was only as an ordinary employee, and never participated in important meetings with other companies like today.
“Vera, it's not that I don't want to help you by replacing you. But you know for yourself, I don't know what I should do. I've never been.”.
“It's okay, your job is only to accompany Mr. Rudi to help prepare the files and documents he needs later. If there is no one to accompany, then Mr. Rudi will be very troublesome. Yes, Mr. Rudi.” Vera spoke again while asking for Rudi's support. His face was back grimacing.
Arini looked at Rudi who looked wrong between them.
Meanwhile, Rudi who felt on the other hand he really needed the presence of someone to accompany him, in a meeting with one of the big companies that became partners of Indotama Group, he said, but on the other hand he is also not comfortable to ask for the willingness of Arini who incidentally is Mrs Sebastian Putra Djenar.
Rudi could have asked for willingness
another employee who will replace Vera, and who certainly is not Arini. But
at lunchtime this way looking for other employees who will replace Vera takes time, while Rudi himself does not have much time to wait.
Rudi must arrive before the set time because Indotama Group highly upholds timeliness. Discipline at that time was applied hard by Mr. Tian because he himself was very unhappy if there were not on time.
“How is Mr Rudi ? does my presence really come in handy ?” ask Arini plain.
“If you don't mind, of course I really hope for your help. I can not go alone without being accompanied by someone. it will be very troublesome later,”.
“Ya already then I am willing to replace Vera,” break up Arini.
“Thank God. Then I can go home faster to take pain medication while being able to rest at home,” Vera said a sigh of relief while handing over a file map containing the documents needed for the meeting complete with his softcopy to Arini.
Arini nodded while receiving the file map that Vera handed to her.
“Egh..your eyes why, Arini ?” Vera suddenly asked when she saw Arini's eyeballs that looked a little damp.
“Aaa.. uh..?”
“You.. finished crying ?”
“Ahh. no. earlier..
dust..” Arini. He tried to smile when he realized that two pairs of eyes belonging to Vera and Rudi were watching him.
“ohh.” Vera mangosteen.
“Ya already.. Then we can
leaving now,” said Rudi then while glancing at the glance of the watch in his hand, then hinted Arini to move immediately.
Arini looked at Vera who was also cleaning her desk at all costs. “Chealing fast, well, Ver.” he said sincerely.
“Iya, Arini. thank you well.”.
Vera returns Arini's smile with a nod, then Arini moves her cubicle to take her bag that is rolled on the table.
Currently all cubicles still look quiet and empty, no one employee left there including Meta, because lunch hour is not over.
Hugging the file map in his hand Arini followed Rudi who had stepped first towards the elevator.
XXXXXX
Currently Arini and Rudi are on their way to Mercy Hotel which is actually still in the heart of the city, not far from the headquarters of Indotama Group.
But considering the current hours of capital city streets are usually in a crowded condition of creeping as they go now then Rudi of course has taken into account the travel time they will need at this time.
Arini used that short time to learn a glimpse of the hardcopy documents Vera had handed to her. Although Arini initially felt his heart was in a bad condition, but Arini was grateful to be given the task of accompanying Rudi at this time the pain of his heart because he always thought gossip about Tian was a little distracted.
On several occasions Arini also asked about some materials that he did not understand too much to Rudi, and Rudi of course is happy to explain it even though at the same time he also has to focus on the road in front of him. Especially because he was in a hurry when he decided to drive himself and not use the services of a company driver.
Rudi felt a little amazed because Arini looked very enthusiastic to be able to learn something that he had never done before. Although their time is very short, but he appreciates the efforts of his boss' secret wife.
“Pak Rudi, is the hotel still far away?” Arini raised her face that had been immersed in the documents in her hand.
“No ma'am, the hotel is ahead. Approximately three minutes we have entered the hotel area.”
“Ooh,” Arini mutters briefly.
“What's up, bu Arini ?”
“It's okay.. I just feel a little nervous.” Arini. At this time he began to tidy up the documents he had learned since he entered Rudi's car, rearranging them neatly as before into the file map that Vera had entrusted to him.
Rudi who saw Arini's expression held a smile. His boss' secret wife admitted to have a nature that is sometimes so innocent as it is now.
Entering the Mercy Hotel area suddenly Rudi's phone rings.
“This is Mr. Tian, ma'am.” Rudi said when he found out the identity of the caller.
Suddenly Arini's heart rippled to hear that name. “Pak Tian.?” reworked.
Rudi snuggles, “I pick up the phone first, ma'am.”
Rudi said again who immediately responded quickly by Arini. Rudi who has been using earphones since the beginning of driving appears to press the earphone sign to receive the call.
“Rudi, you have not reached the meeting place ?”
“At this time I have entered the area of Hotel Mercy, Sir.”
"Well, don't be late and don't make clients wait for us,”
“Iya, Mr. Tian. I understand. Soon we will arrive at the co-working space of the hotel before Mr. Edward arrived there,”
"Good then.”
Silent for a moment.
“Ehem, Rud.”
“Iya, Sir ?”
Tian fell silent again, as if he was weighing something he so wanted to know.
"Ehmm, is it true that you went to see Mr. Edward with my wife..?”
“Ahh, Yes sir, sorry I am khilaf
told me earlier, that Vera suddenly did not feel well and now Arini's mother is accompanying me to the meeting,”
Tian was silent again. Well.before.
calling Rudi actually Tian had first called Vera to ask about their readiness to meet with Mr. Edward is planned to be done in the co-working space of the mercy hotel. But it was unexpected that Tian even got information from Vera that because his secretary was not feeling well, then Vera was on her way home, and Arini was the one who replaced him with Rudi in the meeting later.
“Halo, Mr Tian ?”
"Ahh, yes. yes alright. and. ahem. also tell Arini that I believe you two can do well.”.
“Good, Sir.I will definitely tell you. We will both try our best, and once it is done, I will report the results immediately.”
‘Cih... why not just say it yourself anyway, Mr Tian.?’
Bathin Rudi again often accepted Tian's attitude that never changed.
"Good.I know I can count on you, Rud.. Good luck yeah,”
“Good, Mr. Tian. thank you.”
"Oh well.one more thing, I am currently in transit in Dubai and it seems like a flight to Indonesia is experiencing a delay.” Tian's voice sounded restraining in annoyance. “Rudi, please coordinate everything with Haris and monitor the progress of the apartment. If things really can't be controlled anymore, just take Arini to my house at any cost, and don't let Arini witness any events.”
“Good, Sir I understand,”
The conversation is over.
Rudi looked at Arini who from the beginning seemed to have listened to the full conversation with Mr. Tian via phone just now even though it was certain that the woman could not hear anything that Mr. Tian said across there, but the look in his eyes illustrates a great sense of curiosity.
“Pak Tian just gave encouragement for Arini's mother to make it through the meeting this time with maximum results,”
A pair of clear Arini's eyeballs seemed to glow instantly when they heard Rudi's sentence.
“Created ?” ogre.
Had he not heard the gossip circulating about Tian yesterday from Meta's mouth, perhaps his heart would have jumped up and down in excitement by just hearing the sentence that Tian was currently supporting him.
“Pak Rudi's.”
“Iya, bu ?”
Arini was silent, pondering for a moment, before finally rounding her heart to keep asking the thing that had been bothering her mind. “Ehem, I.. I just want to know, why has Mr Tian not returned yet ? is there a problem with his work in Singapore ?”
Rudi pinched for a moment. “Oh, no ma'am, all Pak Tian's work in Singapore went very smoothly. Pak Tian even only took less than a day to handle everything.”
“But why hasn't he returned yet ?”
Rudi looked at Arini for a moment.
“Pak Rudi.. k-why ? it's been five days, and I don't know anything about Mr. Tian's circumstances.. ” Arini can't take it anymore. Finally, he was forced to reveal the secret of his heart for five days without any news from Tian. Arini even felt that she was almost crying in front of Rudi.
Rudi took a breath for a moment.
‘Jeez.. What the hell is this Mr Tian ? Keep an eye on all the things related to Bu Arini to the smallest part, but the heart to let his wife languish like this even did not tell you at all for five days ? ck.. ck.. ck.’
Arini's reason alone always looks careless every day, it turns out not only because of mere longing, but has been mixed curiosity, curiosity, even of course also a sense of disappointment.
Rudi was really made to be amazed by the reality of how to love and protect a woman version of the Ceo Indotama Group.
“Look ma'am, the day after the work in Singapore was completed, the night Pak Tian immediately left for London. There is an important job that he must immediately handle at the branch office in London. Maybe because it was so busy, sir Tian forgot to tell.” Rudi was not sure what his words could comfort the big madam's heart. I don't know.. Rudi just tried as much as possible when doing it.
Arini who heard that just fell silent.
Is that so ?
So Tian was very busy. He was so busy that he forgot to tell him. But for Mr. Rudi, Vera, and maybe there are still others.he always has time and does not forget to just call.
It just seems to be where the meaning is
an Arini Ramdhan for a Sebastian the Son of Djenar, right ? In fact, she did not have any meaning in the eyes of her own husband. Arini now believes that Tian has a special relationship with a woman named Lila, as discussed by all employees at the headquarters of Indotama Group. Tian would have preferred to call, give word, and not want to worry the person he loves, right ?
Arini breathed again. Trying my hardest to throw all thoughts concerning Tian out of his brain.
Ah already.didn't he should now just focus on accompanying Rudi as well as possible, rather than having to think about the circulating gossip that the edges will only make his heart more hurt.
Arini glanced at Rudi who was still loyal to drive quietly beside her, and Arini is determined to exert all his existing abilities to make Tian clients impressed this time so that it can produce profitable business deals for Indotama Group.
That way surely Tian would feel a little proud of him, wouldn't he ? that as a wife, he could not only give Tian a headache at all times due to getting a wife that was far from what he expected, but at least he could also be useful for the smooth future of Tian's business, although not much value.
