HATE Before LOVE
The Origin of That Sweet Aroma.

Dozens of minutes passed, the time came to notice anyone who passed to continue to the last stage of the direct interview by the CEO, because later the candidate will work as a secretary of the CEO of the company.

Everyone was very excited, also nervous, including Elif. He escaped until this point. First, he passed the document requirements, there was no problem when his last visit was high school, then the online test Elif passed, and this time the offline test he passed. Now it's time to listen to the names that passed the interview from HRD a few minutes ago. Confidence and confidence escaped for the last stage was enveloping Elif.

A woman in fashionable work clothes who still looks professional comes out carrying a piece of paper on which the names of candidates who escaped.

While listening to the woman mention one by one the names that escaped, Elif closed his eyes, his head lowered, his heart continued to say prayers and hope.

"Alright, those were the names that escaped to the next stage" said the woman in the end.

Elif's eyes opened, his head held up. Can't believe. He didn't escape! Butwhy? There was nothing wrong with the interview with HRD. Even as he remembered the man who seemed to be no older than his father seemed satisfied with the conversation of his interview with Elif, but why was his name not on the list of names that passed to the next stage?

"Congratulations to those of you who escaped, prepare yourself tomorrow morning for a live interview with the CEO. And for those who do not escape, do not be discouraged, keep the spirit yes!" said the woman. "Thank you for today. Good afternoon everyone."

The afternoon is a hope for some, but whatever the power, man can only try and plan, God also determines. Some people also moved with sad faces mixed with disappointment, some of which were filled with happiness and relief because it escaped to the next stage, the determining stage. Of the 15 people, only 6 people left to qualify for the interview stage with the CEO.

Elif is trying to encourage her that maybe here is not her fortune, maybe not yet, maybe not the place to seek fortune. But when he saw the man who had the status as HRD out of his room, Elif's little heart refused to give up and resigned. He needs a reason that can make him accept the reality that happened.

His feet approached the man politely.

"Excuse me, sorry sir" said Elif, stopping in front of the man.

The man with glasses saw it and immediately remembered it. "Ah, Elif, right?"

"Yes Sir. I'm Elif. I'm sorry sir, am I allowed or is there a reason why I didn't escape?"

The man frowned. Seem reticent to answer the question of one of the candidates who did not qualify it.

"I have no other intentions, sir. I just want to know where I went wrong, so that I don't make the same mistake elsewhere. I beg you sir." Elif please stick with his polite demeanor.

The man understood, "Look Elif, actually I really like your attitude, the way you answer, and I'm sure you're an intelligent person. It fits perfectly with the character of our CEO who always wants everything to be fast paced. But, there's only one drawback, which is, sorry, our CEO wants a university graduate with a minimum GPA that he's determined." The man explained regretfully and with a heavy heart.

"Ah yes it is, it seems like it is the carelessness of our admin, I apologize for that."

Elif wanted to cry. What's wrong with people who are just high school graduates? Are people who are just high school graduates unfit to work professionally? Is intelligence only viewed from the value of GPA only?

Ardan was surprised by the news that the media wrote about the closeness of the relationship between Marsha model with an actor and a rising model. The end of their relationship has not even been a week, but Marsha is close again to a man. While he remains alone. Does it look pathetic? Does it look like Ardan can't move on from Marsha?

Ardan became upset, not because of jealousy, Ardan did not even remember that he had feelings for Marsha even though only a little. But Ardan was still upset. Perhaps upset at the truth about what Marsha once said to her the day they broke up. No woman can survive a relationship with him.

Ardan was about to get out of his room when Teddy came in, "Sir, the meeting is ready ten men-"

"For thirty minutes, I want to get some air first." cut Ardan as he passed Teddy and just walked out of his room. Ardan entered the elevator and immediately pressed the number button that went straight to the roof top. He really needs fresh air to be able to hold meetings this afternoon.

Ting!

The elevator doors opened, the vast roof top land slapping directly before his eyes. Up there are several seats, a small garden and even a comfortable gazebo to relax for a moment from the fatigue of endless work routines. Guardrail is made safely and firmly and still looks aesthetic.

The wind up there is blowing pretty hard, but not too strong. Suddenly the aroma that had made Ardan curious again smelled up there. His footsteps stopped, his body pecked, but not with his kiss. He sniffed in all directions, his feet began to move in the direction that the sweet scent was coming from. Until he saw someone, girl, sitting behind him. Her clothes were as white as the job applicants she had seen before in front of the HRD room. Her hair was tied and braided, but the wind seemed to make the hair ties on the girl futile.

Ardan got closer to the girl sitting on one of the chairs, from behind, the girl's back shook, like she was crying. The aroma grew stronger, just like the scent he was looking for and if he did not remember wrongly, this scent was also exactly the same as the one he had kissed while helping a strange girl who had instead accused him of being a kidnapper.

"Ehem!" Ardan cleared his throat when the distance was quite close to the girl. The trembling back suddenly stiffened, his hand moving around rubbing something on his face. Then the girl stood up and turned around. The brief moment became like a drama scene with a made-up slow motion effect, making Ardan's heart beat fast, between nervousness and curiosity into one. He was not even this nervous when he first signed a cooperation contract between his company and a foreign company as his first project.

In the next instant, the girl was already facing Ardan completely. Their eyes clashed with each other, staring, remembering until a few seconds passed a memory even resuscitated the two.

"YOU?!"

"ABDUCTORS!"
