HAPPIER
CHAPTER 7

"Next week you can start an internship at Bery's office." Abi Hasan said to Sky who was busy with his advanced computer.

"I'm in Abi's office." Reject Sky. He is lazy to enter a new environment again because it means he has to socialize again with new people.

"There are a lot of big projects that Bery is working on right now. You can learn a lot there." Sky knew his ashes did not want to be denied and it was already the final decision.

During this time, neither abi nor uminya ever forced a will about what Sky should and should not do. Only this time abi Hasan felt the need to push Sky to get out of his comfort zone. If he was an apprentice in his office, Sky already knew and was known by the people in the office, so there would be nothing new for Sky. Unlike if Sky interns in Bery's office, Bery's staff is not as much as in his aunt's office which amounts to hundreds of people, but Bery always meets new clients from various regions and countries. Given the intensity of Bery's trip out of town and out of the country for work, maybe Sky will occasionally be included, and of course it will provide a new experience for Sky.

Bery company was founded 5 years ago. Seeing the interest of clients who are interested in using his services quite a lot, Bery finally recruited some of his juniors to be a partner in running his business. So far, the Bureau of Architecture established by Bery is fairly successful and catapulted his name as one of the most popular young Architects today.

Sky only snorted in annoyance, yet also did not refute. I don't know what his brother thinks that requires him to intern at Bery's place. Oh yes, Sky should have called her sister Bery as she called her brother, sister Nindi. Moreover, Bery is a friend of the taste of Nindi's brother.

Since his family moved to the capital, Bery has been an integral part of his family ever since. Sky was still too small to care about Bery's presence at that time, especially his mental condition was still unstable after a dark event that he did not want to remember anymore.

The first impression he remembered was just a sad face that was clearly painted on his beautiful face as if asking to be protected. But who he was, he was just a responsible teenager who was also injured and shaken by his soul, he was in need of something to save his soul from emptiness and somehow what other feelings he could not define with words.

A month more living under the same roof did not make him able to greet with Bery, instead being nearby made him sometimes scared. He was afraid that he was no different from his uncle who had tried to desecrate his umminya. Sometimes he asks himself, is it as strong as the nafs*binata*g impulse that resides in men so as to make it the most depraved creature on the face of this earth?

"Good morning, ma'am!"

"Morning, please come in." Bery who was very busy examining the design of the building submitted by several Architects who became his partner only immediately let in the person who greeted him without seeing the face of his guests first, actually between foreign and not familiar with the sound, but it feels impossible.

"I'm an intern at mom's office, sorry to interrupt." Bery raised his face as he remembered something.

"Sky?" A little surprised but he tried to quickly normalize his face to see Sky who was standing before him. "Sit, deck. Sorry, but I didn't know it was you. Just relax and say it doesn't have to be formal, just think of me like your sister Nindi." Bery said to melt the atmosphere even though it still feels awkward.

"Sorry, mom. Where is my room and what is my job today?" Ask Sky to the point.

"Oh my God, this kid, there's no base at all."  Bery complained.

"Your job is to be an assistant to your brother directly, you will explain it to you later. Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Here, ma'am."

"Why don't you have that breakfast nitip for me?" Sky stared confusedly at Bery, what does it mean to try?

"Tomorrow I ask umi." Answer Sky.

"Eh, don't." Bery is also overwhelmed, even though he meant just for stale bases, uh his son even took it seriously. "Don't do it, sister doesn't feel good, but thank you. Let's say my regards to umi and abi."

"Mmmm. That's in that corner of your desk." Bery's right hand pointed at a work desk in one corner opposite his desk. "Can you do 3D design? SketchUp or AutoCad?"

"Can." Answer Sky steady.

Bery stood up from his seat of greatness and then walked first to the desk he had appointed for Sky. As Abi Hasan did to him, so will he do to Sky. In the past, when Bery first joined the company owned by Abi Hasan, Bery was immediately given the responsibility of holding a project for him. Of course, Bery objected and feared that he could not live up to the trust given, but Abi Hasan continued to convince him that Bery could.

"It is your duties and responsibilities that will make you master your work quickly, not your higher education or how much science is in your brain." Abi Hasan said at that time.

Bery opened a file folder on his computer, before he let Sky sit in his chair first.

"Well, this is one of the mosque designs that will become one of the icons of the city of P. Try to make a 3D design first, maybe you can googling first the character and culture of the local community so that the color selection can better reflect the peculiarities of the area. You can also choose materials and materials that if you think it is suitable, then later we can discuss again, do not hesitate to ask brother if there is something you do not understand."

Sky could only hold his breath with his position and Bery who was very close like this. After all, Sky had never been this close to the opposite sex other than umi and her brother for more than 5 seconds. As much as possible he will avoid, but this time he can only sculpt, feel the closeness and fragrance that feels foreign in the sense of smell of Sky, it feels very soothing and thrilling. His heart felt racing, cold sweat just appeared like corn kernels on his temple.

Bery who realized Sky's tension immediately pulled away and took a little distance from her. He tried as usual and as appropriate as possible, but apparently Sky's reaction was very disturbed. Bery did not expect that as far as Sky fortified himself. Bery was confused by himself, how Sky went through his lectures that he knew Sky was currently taking two different majors. If at the Faculty of Engineering, okelah there are not many students, but at the Faculty of Law, of course there are many students.

"Drink the water first," Bery put down a bottle of mineral water he took from a mini-fridge near Sky's desk.

"Thank you."

"Sister continued first well, tomorrow you will know the staff in this office." Said Bery who was only possessed by Sky.

They finally got late with their jobs. Bery himself is very busy because there are some clients who want the design he asked to be designed entirely by Bery. In fact, the architects who became partners in his Bureau of Architecture have been very tested for quality and capacity. In addition, Bery also still has to check the designs made by colleagues before being forwarded to the client to minimize errors and revisions that can take a lot of time. Especially if the client is notoriously chatty and perfectionist.

In fact, for Sky, making 3D designs was an easy thing for him. Indeed he prefers the part and also in the office of his brother he did take the job. It's just that, in Bery's office, of course, it's different. This is a raw design image that can still be tinkered with according to its vision and imagination. This time he had to thank his brother. It's not wrong he was placed here. His work is more challenging on his imaginative side. And I don't know, even though he's only been here a few hours, he's comfortable. He thought it would be difficult to work under the control of Bery which out there has an image as a person who is cold and untouchable.

"Sky, it's lunchtime. Brother there is a schedule to the location of the construction of apartments in the eastern part of the capital, you want to come along?" Bery thinks it's better to have Sky with him than to be alone with the office driver because his assistant is currently on leave. He needs a friend to accompany him on the project site, he is not comfortable if only accompanied by people from the contractor only.

"Can, ma'am." Slightly hesitant, but Sky still agree to Bery's invitation. It was not a call, but an order. Thought it.

"Yes, you're ready and we'll go straight to the parking lot."

Sky immediately turned off his work computer button, tidied up some files on his desk and took some of his personal gear into his backpack.
