It Turns out There's Love
20 - THREE DEPARTMENTS

Three years later.

At 08:00.

On a clear morning, the sun was so soft on the earth.

Looks a handsome man with neat clothes, a long blue shirt and tie neatly attached to the chest, combined with pants and slippery shoes in black.

The man had just got off his black car brand Pajero Sport, his body height ranging from 185 cm with a steady step walking into the office lobby.

Security who served in front of the door swiftly opened the door and then slightly bent his body to give a good morning to the thick-browed man with a calm face, prove that the handsome man is a good and patient man.

"Good morning sir," Security said hello as the man's body entered the lobby.

"Good morning, Mr. Saiful, good health!..," the man replied with a friendly smile while gently patting Security on the shoulder and walking towards the elevator and pressing the button to get to the 22nd floor.

The security again closed the door after the President Director had walked away from him, shaking his head in amazement at his superior. Since the two years the handsome man became his superior, not once did the man yell let alone scold his employees, not once did he, just a friendly smile as well as a bit of a joke that he always threw every day for all the subordinates who met him.

Fariz Erlangga, he is the President Director of State-Owned Enterprises PT. PLN Indonesia in Central Jakarta.

His age is still very young to become a President Director in one of the largest SOEs in Indonesia, but age is not a barrier because the knowledge and intelligence that Fariz has deserve to make himself a leader.

His age is 24 years more but because of his intelligence which is a graduate of the University of Indonesia makes him so easy to get a job wherever he wants.

It is true that news and information written on the internet or even statements of some people in the real world that the majority of students graduate from the University of Indonesia only takes a maximum of two months to three months after graduation, then they will easily get a minimum job as a staff and not infrequently become the head or other highest positions in a company.

Moreover, Fariz is the best student with Cum Laude grades graduated from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Department of Electricity, University of Indonesia, making himself easily accepted in any company, including in SOEs who have now entrusted themselves to become President Director at PT. The Indonesian State Electricity Company (PLN).

Thanks to the position and all the tasks carried out for two years, the President Director can enjoy the results of his hard work so far by buying a car, apartment and house. All his income is well saved without having to spend as much as most established men in general.

The handsome man with black and slippery hair who had been neatly combed had just stepped out of the elevator.

After replying to good morning from some of his subordinates, the man immediately entered the room and sat down in the chair that had been two years since accompanying himself in carrying out his daily duties as the Managing Director who had brought himself to be a man with great achievements as well as wealth quite abundant with capitalizing knowledge and intelligence that he has.

In the room, there is a secret photo deliberately placed in the closet, a photo of who else if not a photo of the girl who had been loved so far, Zafira Mutia Wibawa, the beautiful girl he dreamed so much, he said, adored for decades and will not be replaced with any girl in the world.

It seemed that Fariz's eyes, heart and mind were blind, and he could only see Zafira in his life.

That is, if you are in love, everything becomes beautiful, whether it is black in the eyes of others but will look white in the eyes of the lover. As fariz felt, no one could change his feelings for Zafira. Zafira is too beautiful to forget, and he will not be able to do that.

As seen this morning, the man had a daily routine once at the office, always opening the closet and then wiping the photo while smiling himself looking at the photo of Zafira.

"Good morning Zafira, I love you..," Fariz commented smilingly looking at the beautiful, long-nosed face in the photo.

It would be fitting that Fariz was so infatuated with Zafira. The girl not only has the same intelligence as Fariz, a student with Cum Laude on her campus. But he also had a near-perfect physique and kindness. Making Fariz unable to turn away let alone throw the engraving of the girl's face from her heart and mind for even a second.

The man still continued to wipe the photo of Zafira until the next minute he put the photo back into the closet put it neatly and locked the closet tightly so that no one opened and looking at the photo of the girl who had been for two years was stored safely in that closet.

After struggling with his work staring at the laptop screen which almost took two hours, Fariz finally could relax a little. Relaxing his body, eyes and brain while drinking a cup of warm tea that has been prepared by the office boy in his office.

"Every morning I have to drink office boy tea at this office. When can I enjoy Zafira's tea every time I wake up?" he murmured, smiling to himself like a madman.

Behind that smile, there was always a deep sense of anxiety lodged in the man, because the presence of Ronald who had been a fortification between himself and Zafira for two years.

Fariz sipped his tea and walked and stood in front of the window looking straight from a height, looking at the buildings and skyscrapers in front of him.

His finger knocked on the edge of the window repeatedly while sighing deeply and then exhaling heavily. Although his position now was already very proud of both parents and family but not with his heart.

The man's heart was not proud of himself with the position and success he achieved, because until now his love life is still running in place, in other words he still failed to touch and get the heart of Zafira.

The man was pensively pensive for a long time in front of the window, his eyes staring blankly forward, just as his heart was always empty. Expecting love that never comes.

While in the Company PT. Satya Wibawa Group, Zafran and Zafira have been working to continue the company in the last two years.

Although in these two years the father did not directly relinquish all responsibility to his children but the father was very satisfied and proud because his two children could run the company as well as he wanted.

Zafran has now served as President Director and Zafira serves as Finance Manager.

Although Arga has given all responsibility to her two children, Arga still comes to the office to teach and supervise the performance of her twins.

After two years in the teaching, direction, guidance and supervision of Arga, now the two smart children have eighty percent can be released by the father. Sometimes in one week, Arga comes one to two times to monitor the company.

Since morning Zafira was busy with work. Sometimes his mouth chews on the biscuits on the table and then sips water. Zafira was not a connoisseur of tea or coffee, so every time he chewed a snack, water was the one the girl chose to wash his throat.

As a Financial Manager, he has to handle a lot, starting from analyzing costs, prices, variables, sales results and company performance. Managing the company budget. Work closely with audits to ensure corporate financial oversight is maintained. Develop trends and financial projections of the company in the future. Evaluate budget plans for cost efficiency and so on.

Zafira glanced at the clock that was coiling in his hand. Time has shown at 11:30. It was time for him to rest, eat and pray. His body also felt tired from just sitting checking his work from the laptop screen.

The phone on the desk rings, there is an incoming message notification appearing on the phone screen.

"Where are you eating this lunch? I'm going to your office, can't I? I'd like to take you to lunch at a restaurant near your office" said the message, which turned out to be none other than Zafira's true devotee Fariz.

"Well, but I called Ronald first, whether he's going to take me out to lunch or not" Zafira's finger immediately typed in a reply.

Fariz, who is currently in the car to Zafira's office, hit the steering wheel. The tremors of his heart holding the feeling of jealousy could not be removed let alone buried, no matter how strong he did all that would not work. Jealousy was even bigger felt burning his chest to see the intimacy and togetherness of Zafira and Ronald, who were getting closer and more intimate.
