Creative Departments seem to be getting busier with their extra special projects. The view of the office that was always quiet after four in the afternoon is now rarely seen, some work overtime almost every day.

Almost all the staff are always there. If you don't see one of them there, then they must be working outside the office. As Calya is currently doing, head to a cafe to discuss about the Niskala project.

I can guess who he will meet. The same meeting where they met for the first time.

“I'm not late right?” the woman immediately sat down while examining the watch on her left hand.

“Really! Exactly at two,” the woman sure does not need to say a sentence of – is stale like ‘Have you waited long?’ or even apologize when he believes he came on time.

“You're right, I did come early on purpose,” Ray responded to the sentence Calya said.

Actually, the sentence spoken by Calya is not purely a question, whether the man is aware or not. Something Ray realizes is that he hopes Calya will

respond by asking why they came early.

Of course it's just hope, Calya is not aware of such a signal –never-.Calya is just busy preparing the – ingredients she has brought. Show it to the guy, it's always like that –directly to the core and goal-.

“This is a concept that my team has prepared. Please check,” Ray who is still hoping finally realized.

“Haahh..well,” he sighed before he started reading.

A few minutes passed with Ray glued to the tablet in his hand. For a moment Calya looked at the man's face. Hair, eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips. I don't know when that became his habit. The masculine aura was attached to the man, he thought.

He noticed the posture of the man who was reading it ‘Actually he

pretty cool if it's working, too bad he's pretty annoying,’ he said again.

“Am I that cool?” Ray arrived – arrived talking, he shifted his gaze from the tablet and looked at the woman “You were so glued to look at me.”

Calya was surprised to have been caught off guard, but there was no way she would admit it she just put on her expressionless look. Ray looked back at the tablet with a small laugh. Calya saw that and spoke again in my heart ‘kuralat said earlier, she was very annoying!’

“Why did you guys choose this concept?” ask Ray. He had finished reading, giving the tablet back to its owner.

“After studying the community response to the project yesterday. We see a high level of public interest because of our advertising model. So we chose a concept that suits the image of Ayuna,” Calya explains why.

Ray had not responded yet, the first thing he did was put his back on the back of the chair.

“There is nothing wrong with your concept, it's just that your reason makes me doubt,” finally the man expressed his opinion after taking the time to think.

“So? Do we have to change the concept?” ask Calya.

“You don't want to know what my reason was? Unlike usual,” the man was quite astonished by the response given by Calya.

“Alright, what's the reason?” The woman finally asked as if giving up on the situation, while her hands were still busy with pens and notebooks.

Ray still feels surprised but he still explains “Connecting trends, market interests and product excellence.”

The man was silent, for a moment he thought Calya would give a response like ‘Then?' or ‘What does this have to do with?’ as the woman used to do, but the woman just silently waited for her to continue her sentence.

“That's what you did on the previous project. But this time I feel you are only utilizing what is already there, not giving something new,” said Ray continued his explanation.

He noticed Calya who was busy taking notes. Instead of trying to understand while continuing to ask as he usually does, but just taking notes on everything as a reminder.

“What's there again?" the woman began to ask. It's not a question to make him more confident, just make sure that he doesn't miss something.

“I was also troubled by the point that you guys chose this concept to adapt it to the image of our model. Keep in mind that here we are not preparing the stage for Ayuna, but trying to create a good synergy between the model and the product. So it must be ensured that the public can see both parties, not just one party,” Ray only saw Calya nodding small while still taking notes.

“Are you in trouble?” ask the man again.

”What?” Calya was astonished by the question.

“From yesterday I noticed you were acting strangely, not as usual. Are you having any problems?”

“What is there more we should pay attention to for the concept?” Calya asks questions on different topics, refusing to answer Ray's questions.

The man gave up, “Nothing. Just make sure you pay attention to every detail well,” Calya nodded, she was seen cleaning all the – items.

“You're going to leave now?” ask Ray.

“Ya,” replied Calya briefly, “Do you still have a job?” ask the man again.

“I have to explain the discussion

it's on my team,” Calya replied again.

“But you haven't eaten anything,” Ray tried to prevent Calya's departure.

“I'll eat at home, Excuse me,” without waiting for Calya's answer to stand up, leave the table and the man is alone there.

Ray could only stare at Calya's departure full of question marks, ‘hopefully there's no problem with her?’ he said in his heart.

***

A few days later the two men met again, still discussing the same thing. Not in the same place, this time in a different place. A new place for the two of them to meet, but no stranger to Calya.

That night they spent time there, Calya, Qeiza, Kenzo and Rezvan. “Sorry I'm late” this time the woman was really – really sorry for coming past five minutes of their appointment.

Calya has hunted – to finish all her work at the office, then came Rezvan who wanted to discuss web design with her. Made him resign their meeting hours from three to four in the afternoon, but still he was late.

Ray invited the woman to sit down, “Eat and drink first, ” he said when he saw Calya began busy removing – items from his bag.

“No need, just go straight.”

“I insist!”.

Calya had not had time to finish her sentence the man hunted – to cut it. He was right – really could not resist when before long the waiter came by bringing some food and drinks.

I don't know when the guy ordered it. The atmosphere was calm for a few minutes as they ate the food. Even after it was done, the silent atmosphere still enveloped the two of them.

Calya was confused as to what she should say. ‘Why did you bother – bother ordering food for me?’ sounds rough, ‘eatnya good, thanks,’ sounds bad and ‘Can we start now?’ sounds disrespectful. So he decided to keep quiet, waiting for the man to speak first.

“What is the food good?” finally Ray spoke, “Ya, thank you,” at least the woman did not neglect manners for her prestige this time.

The momentary atmosphere was silent again, only the sound of the knock of Calya's fingers on the table could be heard.

“You want to start now?” Ray realized the woman sitting in front of him was agitated.

“Ya!” it might even be in a hurry –, judging by its quick response.

It is very clear from his current behavior. However this must have been realized by Ray, he always paid attention to it. But he prefers to be quiet and focus on his work first, at least for now.

“You are right – did it as I said,” said the man, still glued to the tablet in his hand.

“Is there anything less?” Calya asked so because the word – said Ray sounded ambiguous, even impressed dissatisfied.

“Nothing,” replied the man, but still not convincing.

”Really? then we can use this concept right?” Calya made sure to go back and saw the man nod his head.

“Alright then,” after sure he started preparing to pack his – items.

“It looks like you're very busy the end of this final –. Don't overwork. Once – times go to – places like this, one way to get rid of fatigue.”

Ray tried to give the woman advice. But Calya doesn't feel that way, “It looks like you misunderstood.”
