The atmosphere in the office this morning remained the same as usual. Everyone who passed Nisa slightly bowed her body politely. Nisa is young and beautiful, but she has managed to become her boss's confidant in marketing. Besides Nisa, Nadya is the golden child. Nadya is the team leader of the creative design division, whose job is to create new designs. It is common knowledge that Nisa and Nadya have a bad relationship, aka do not get along. When sales slumped Nisa often blamed the design team, arguing that the shoe models they created were less attractive to the public. Nadya blamed Nisa for not being a workaholic which resulted in slumping sales.
Today in the Nisa division there will be a new employee. Before the employee came, Nisa first saw the Curriculum Vitae of the person. He is a graduate of Economics Management UI who is waiting for graduation. Her name is Yuda Arie Pratama, twenty-two years old.
Shortly thereafter the employee arrives ushered by Lena's assistant Nisa into the room. Lena knocked on Nisa's open door.
"Bak, a new employee has arrived, nih," said Lena. Nisa who was seriously staring at her laptop immediately looked up and stood to let her in.
"Please sit down" said Nisa with one light hand gesture. Lena who is notoriously flirtatious in the office looks wrong seeing the new employee was really handsome. Nisa who knew the character of her assistant, finally said, "Lena you can go back to your desk." Lena nodded, but with a frowning face. Nisa laughed inwardly at the reaction of her assistant.
"Welcome to Vreeset Shoes. Your name is Yuda, right?" Yuda nodded with a smile.
"Yes" he said briefly.
"You already know, this company is engaged in the field of women's shoes. Our products are mostly used by all women in the country including celebrities and officials. They like this product because of its good quality, when it comes to price, Vreeset is indeed somewhat on top of the others, but it is worth the quality and the models are good. This company is a foreign company from Paris but has opened branches in Indo and other countries as well. Because you'll be working in my division, so I'll outline how it works."
Yuda's smile from earlier did not fade from his lips, and his sharp eyes did not blink looking at Nisa who was explaining. Yuda really did not expect the head of a marketing team of a company of this size was a beautiful young woman. Yuda had thought he would be dealing with a fat, pellet-headed and bespectacled man, but his assumption was gravely wrong. It feels like he will be eager to work here if he sees a boss like that. It's really rare.
"Do you understand now?" asked Nisa after explaining how her work eatingism was.
Yuda nodded. "Yes" he answered briefly.
"Well, you can go, and Lena will help you" said Nisa. Yuda was a bit nervous in his chair, actually he still wanted to sit there and look at the cute face of his boss. Nisa's forehead wrinkled, she was a little surprised to see Yuda who seemed reluctant to leave from there.
"Please ..," said Nisa with a light hand gesture inviting Judah to leave immediately. Yuda nodded then left the room. After exiting the room, Yuda held his chest and took a deep breath from his mouth. During the time in the room, Yuda was really nervous and his heart was racing.
'Jeez, it's a real pretty girl abis.'
It turns out that there are employees who accidentally saw Yuda's behavior. He smiled and shook his head, surely the new employee was already exposed to the charm of the boss. It happened to him when he first worked, but just wait after knowing how when his boss was raging, surely he will forget the beautiful and sweet face.
🌸🌸🌸
Lena explains how Judah works and what Judah has to do. They were busy in front of the computer, but Nisa's shadow had not gone away from Judah's eyes. Finally, while Lena was talking at length Yuda chanted, "Mbak Nisa is still single?"
"Did? Mean you?" Lena let out a long sigh and looked at Yuda with an annoyed face. He just realized from earlier talking was not really noticed by this child, because in his brain there was only a boss.
"Yes, she is single, young and beautiful. Then what do you want?" Out of annoyance, Lena started using the word 'elo'. Yuda blinked, he realized now his tutor began to sulk.
"E. .. don't just ask," Yuda replied clumsyly.
"Hey, I said yes. Never deal with the boss. She's the queen ice of this office. If he's angry again, you don't try to show muke you in front of him, you can be eaten with him."
"Well, seriously, ma'am?" Yuda's eyes glared in shock plus disbelief.
Lena nodded firmly.
"Let's not be enchanted with him. Get to know him first, then you can be fascinated with him." Yuda nodded in agreement.
"Well, where was that? I know you didn't notice me, did you? Look out if I can't test elo." Yuda gulped as he glanced at Lena's still irritated face, then looked back at the computer. 'This is easy, my daily food, just a recap of doang, ' Yuda's inner.
🌸🌸🌸
On the first day of work, Yuda has gotten lucky to be able to do an outside task with Nisa. At least that's what Judah thought. Though according to other employees on duty outside with Nisa something terrible.
Lena suddenly gets sick so she can't accompany Nisa outside duty, so Nisa chooses Yuda, the reason is so that Yuda can know how the situation on the field.
"How's your job, smoothly? Do you understand everything?" ask Nisa while running her car. Yuda nodded politely.
"Here you understand, Mother. I'm gonna make an effort. Mmm ... what are the outside duties on a daily basis?" ask Yuda.
"Yes, you could say so. Because we arrange sales in stores or in malls. Our job is to spearhead the company's forward and backwardness, so in addition to having to try and be passionate, we are also required to be creative. You have to think about how to get our shoe sales to increase every month." Yuda mangosteen, now he actually more amazed by his beautiful boss. Yuda knew the marketing task was not easy, but Nisa managed to be in her position now at the age of twenty-eight. It's an incredible achievement.
Who knows the rest of the day Yuda spent taking notes, recording, checking, and counting hundreds of pairs of shoes in several stores. Amazing on his first day of work he was already very busy, but one compliment from Nisa made him forget his tiredness.
"For a new employee like you, that's very good. You are even better than employees who have worked for one or two years" said Nisa. Yuda smiled geer.
Finally tired of going around, Nisa invites Judah to eat and drink in a cafe.
"Thank you for today. You've worked hard. So I'm going to pay for all the food we eat right now" Nisa said. Yuda's sweet smile came back up.
Wow, he didn't expect today to work and then eat with his beautiful boss. And he seems to disagree with the talk of other employees who say Nisa's fierce boss plus her nickname as queen ice. For all this day Judah did not see the slightest thing from Nisa. Indeed, Nisa is a workaholic girl, but that is as proof that she is very responsible for her work.
Doesn't it have to be that way as a team leader? Now Yuda understands why other employees do not want to have to work outside with Nisa, because they will not find time to just rest for a while, or even for pleasantries. Because Nisa said, playing around in work will only trouble yourself. Play around there's time. You will be satisfied with your work and then you can rest and eat quietly. Yuda agreed with his boss's view.
Suddenly Yuda remembered Lena's words earlier this morning, he knew he had just been fascinated by her. It seems that Yuda is starting to be really fascinated because now he is starting to recognize his boss.
🌸🌸🌸
After working outside Nisa and Yuda return to the office after dark. Before returning home Nisa stopped by the bookstore first, it seems Nisa needs refreshing by reading light reading like a novel. The choice fell on the novel with a white cover, the cover image was interesting and Nisa had read the blurb behind the novel, the story also looks interesting.
When Nisa got out of the car, it felt like she saw a creature that was very familiar to her was chatting with security guards in front of the main door of the office.
Nisa and Yuda walk in the parking lot. When Nisa gets closer, she can see who it is.
"Seno? Why are you here?" exclaim Nisa. Yuda who was beside Nisa seemed surprised as well as surprised, it turns out his boss can also say words that are not formal.
"Remain again, yes pick up elo," replied Seno casually.
"Fetch me?" ask Nisa wonder. Yuda seems to think and guess whether this man is the boss guy? but if the guy, where might be the language you-gue.
"Geez, you're still twenty-eight years old but I know my grandmother didn't!" the original Seno chirps were greeted with stifled laughter from Yuda and the security guard.
"Damn lo. What the hell?" Nisa turned her lips.
"Now Lala's wedding reception. Remember now?" Seno said as she leaned her face against Nisa's.
"Oh my God, I swear I forgot. How's dong? I have not prepared! When I went to the wedding wearing a ginian dress?"
Seno stood upright while draping her hands across her chest, her eyes narrowed looking at Nisa from top to bottom.
"OKAY. The office clothes are very suitable for lo Nis, you stay and and dikit, let your nettle face slightly disguised," said Seno while twirling his index finger in front of Nisa's face. Yuda and the security guard smiled.
Yuda thought again, is Nisa's true nature actually like this? Far from queen ice. Nisa is like most girls. Does no one in the office know about it?
"Damn lu. Just so you know Sen, I was cool from birth tauk!" Nisa said while turning her lips. Seno laughed, yes actually the words were not really out of his heart.
"Here you go, let's go" Nisa told Seno.
"Yuk ..," Seno said as he pulled the car keys out of his pants pocket.
"Sir, I'll drop my car, yes" Nisa told the security guard.
"Ready Ma'am" said the security guard as he lifted his thumb.
🌸🌸🌸
In his Honda City car Seno, Nisa busy herself with her reading that she had just bought. It's still seven o'clock and traffic is still a little jammed. So to fill the time in traffic, reading is the best thing.
Seno glanced at Nisa beside her who was drowning with her own world.
"Now is your reading like that? Didn't read Peter F Drucker's book again that was asked for mercy?"
"No, I need refreshing so I need light reading," replied Nisa casually.
Seno laughing. "Elo it's either strange or magical I don't understand, but everyone if you need refreshing yes vacation, elo instead read the novel."
From the first Nisa was like that, Seno actually already knew but still he wanted to comment. Often they fight only because of the Peter F Drucker, Nisa who is very fond of reading, Seno nyuekin who came to vent. Finally Seno was upset and left, but after that Nisa who came to see Seno to apologize and they came back as before. Then listen to Seno's visions which are always the same thing: girls.
"Nobody is making and planning my vacation. Except if you want to do both I just want a vacation," said Nisa while messing around.
"Monyong lu emang's. How elo not cepet rich, all want to be free." Nisa laughed out loud.
"That's what you know."
"I think I'm starting to feel the damn crucifixion so temen lo." Nisa laughed again.
"That's the fate of Elo, Sen."
For some reason even like that, Seno still feels comfortable being Nisa's best friend. Even too comfortable. He knew all the ugliness of Nisa, and he knew all the advantages and virtues of Nisa. He has also been used too often Nisa in any case, but Seno still considers Nisa is his best friend.
When they were together in Singapore, Seno would never forget the kindness of Nisa on that one.
When Seno first landed in Singapore, Seno lost one of his bags, which turned out to be his valuables, including a purse and a hape, he was still lucky because his passport he pocketed in his pants pocket so did not go along with the wallet and his hape. At that time Seno did not know what to do, without a penny and without communication tools. It's really like a mess in a country of people. Want to contact his parents in Indonesia can not, want to call from the public phone need money, while he did not have any money.
However, at such a crucial moment there was Nisa who reached out to him for help. Nisa lent Seno money and fed. Though Seno knew the girl was also in trouble because she was only given very mediocre money by her parents.
Because Nisa's money was loaned to Seno as a result for several days the girl only ate bread and drank tap water. From there Seno knew Nisa was a very good person, and Seno promised himself that he would always look after her angel. Now he bought an apartment next to Nisa's apartment because of his promise. Though his parents had given him a house, but Seno chose to live in an apartment.
Because of that incident, Seno became close to Nisa even too close. Until there is no secret between them. Including the Viko. The man in Nisa's past.
Seno is not awkward to discuss anything with Nisa except about Viko. Nisa will turn out to be sensitive if touched on the ex, because according to Nisa it is not funny at all. Seno knows, Nisa has a trauma about the couple because of the Viko. And because that man too Nisa almost lost her life and lived in a slump for many years.
Seno initially thought Nisa was too much to respond to the matter of the romance, but after knowing the story, Seno was finally able to understand Nisa until such trauma. He was betrayed by his girlfriend and best friend. Seno is increasingly furious when she hears the story of Nisa's friendship with Gita intertwined from them still together sitting in Kindergarten school. No idea why Gita would do that to Nisa.
In addition to the trauma of men Nisa is also reluctant to establish a friendship that is too close to women, because she thinks the woman is full of falsehoods. Another alias in the mouth is another in the heart, and likes to talk in the back, while in front he is sweet.
From that Nisa is only close to Seno. Nisa is only comfortable with Seno.
🌸🌸🌸
Seno parked her Honda City in the parking lot of the building where Lala's wedding reception is. And it seems like they came at the wrong time, now the guests are making a living. Seno was also a little difficult to find parking. Understandably the marriage is the son of the office. Lala's husband's son's office.
"Sen, how is it? Very long queue. I think we'll be part of the same page at ten o'clock in the evening" said Nisa.
Seno bit her lips, she seemed to be thinking.
"Mending we eat first. I'm really laper," said Seno with a clear face. Nisa snorted, because she thought of the idea of being able to shake hands with her midwife faster about eating.
"Food you think, Ndut," said Nisa sebal. Seno grinned showing her rows of white teeth.
🌸🌸🌸
After finishing eating, Nisa and Seno immediately joined the ranks. To this day, there are really many guests. Not a few celebrities came. Because her bride is a producer of several programs on a private television station. So the producer is indeed the dream of Syahla aka Lala, when he studied in Singapore with Seno and Nisa, Syahla majored in television media. Lala and Nisa now work in accordance with the majors they took while in college, but Seno studied law, but now becomes an adjuster. That's how Nisa and Lala call it. "Advertiser."
Sure enough what Nisa said, it looks like they will be part of the same page as the bride at ten o'clock. Now at ten or less ten they can just sit on the carpet. Lala looks cramped when she sees the two mahluqs she is very familiar with, she can not wait to immediately shake hands with Nisa and Seno.
When they were in front of the bride, Lala immediately hugged Seno and Nisa while shouting in excitement not caring about the other guests and her in-laws who saw her strange. The woman was indeed nicknamed miss boisterous with Nisa and Seno.
"Heh, I don't think you guys came. I was going to be very disappointed if you both didn't come. The cave will be furious and you both will me delconic of my hape. We haven't seen each other in almost a year, it's too much if you don't come now."
"Now we're in front of you, right? Hihihi," said Nisa.
"Crazy for your marriage, the queue is really long, I ampe pegel tauk!" seloroh Seno's.
"Hey, it's because me and my man are popular abis. This is my husband, his name is Brian. Sorry I just got to know Brian directly the same you two now." Nisa and Seno greeted the groom politely.
"Bi, this is Nisa and this is Seno, these are my best friends when I went to college in Singapore first" Lala said, Brian throwing a warm smile.
"You husband and wife?" chirps Brian. Nisa and Seno offer compact eyes. While Lala immediately spouted her laughter.
"Not Bi, they're just temen. Yes ... although you could say the friend of the kayak boyfriend anyway, hahaha ...."
"What the hell lo," said Nisa while a manyun, but after that she laughed as well. Seno was silent. I don't know why Brian's words were a little touching a space of his heart.
"Home wife? Do we look like husband and wife?" inner Seno. I don't know why he feels happy when someone thinks like that.
"Nis, Sen, selfie first yuk, make a memento" Lala said as she plucked her phone in the armchair.
"OK."
Their meeting was closed with a splashy selfie event, which made the queue behind them wait in annoyance.
Before returning home, Nisa and Seno watch Judika's performance first. When else can watch Indonesian top singers sing live for free.
As Nisa and Seno were seriously watching Judika, there was someone not far from them watching. The man thought he knew the woman. Yes, it's not wrong.
How he didn't know her, she was the one he had missed so much for so many years and that made him feel like dying from feeling guilty. He wanted to get to her right then and there, but when she smiled brightly and even talked and laughed with a man nearby, he retreated again.
