Stacks of orange-covered novels with pictures of sunflowers neatly arranged on the table. After going through a long process, Meet Sunshine finally comes in a printed version with a very beautiful cover by the talented illustrator Jeno Asmara Publishing.
Renjani is not wrong to accept Jeno and her other team. They can work together for the still very new Asmara Publishing.
Forty books have been printed and will be sent to 35 people who pre-ordered. The rest is given to Maia who is the author of Meet Sunshine. While Renjani keep one of the first printed books as documentation. Although only a few pre-ordered Meet Sunshine but Renjani was already happy with the achievement. Renjani should not be discouraged for the sake of all the teams who have worked hard for the novel.
"We've all worked hard, applaud ourselves." Renjani exclaimed after finishing wrapping all the novels together with all her team. The novel is ready to be sent to order today.
"Everyone's spirit!" Eve also exclaimed in encouragement.
"Spirit!" Manda, Jeno, Ervin and Fatan said as they raised their hands.
"I'm sorry and thank you that you guys have to keep working on weekends, I've sent your salaries to each account." Renjani smiled widely circulating a glance at all of them.
"Well, thanks Mommy." Eve checked her phone to check her first salary.
One month they have been through with no easy because Renjani has no experience about managing the company. But thanks to the cooperation of all the teams they can print the first novel.
"I, Jeno and Ervin are going to move the book down, the courier is already waiting ahead." Fatan.
"okay." Renjani rushes to clean up the packing equipment with Manda and Eve.
The male team moved the already packed novel to the first floor.
"Where if we eat with Ma'am, we've never had dinner outside." Eve suggested that they had eaten together in the office but had never eaten outside. "Calculate the one-month celebration of Asmara Publishing."
"We asked the others what they could do." Renjani agrees if they want to eat together. He always had free time to eat.
"I asked the boys first." Manda went down to the first floor approaching Ervin, Fatan and Jeno.
Renjani tidied up her things and went down to the first floor as well as Manda.
"They agree." Manda exclaimed as he watched Renjani and Eve climb down the stairs.
"Aren't there any plans to go out with a boyfriend?" Renjani sees his employees alternating. Usually young people like them wait for the weekend for a date.
"There just happens to be no mother." Answer them.
"Does anyone here have a girlfriend yet?"
They look at each other reluctant to answer Renjani's questions first.
"Not yet." Manda answered first and then saw Eve to answer Renjani's question.
"I don't have one either." Answer Eve.
"The three of us don't have any girlfriends yet so we can leave at any time." Jeno represented the male team replied.
"Okay then we can go together." Renjani turns on her phone looking for a restaurant they can go to.
"Eh Mbak Rere asked Mas to go?" Manda approached, he was eager to meet Kelana. Working at Asmara Publishing makes it a great opportunity to meet Kelana.
"I asked him what he could do." Renjani dialed Kelana's phone number, he wanted to stick the phone in his ear but he first saw Kelana's car stopped in front there.
Renjani dropped her phone stepping out of the office. He saw Kelana lowering the car window and waving her hand.
"Udah finished?" Ask Kelana.
"Udah, the children are eating together, you go home first." Renjani had wanted to invite Kelana to eat all together but Kelana's face looked so tired that she did not have the heart to invite him.
"Yes, I'm coming." Kelana is unlikely to let Renjani out without him, last doing that Renjani had an accident. I don't want something like that to happen again.
"But you look tired, it's okay later I go home by taxi, now I can bonceng Fatan." Renjani can ride an empty Fatan motor.
"I haven't eaten either."
"Is it really okay?"
"Have you decided on the restaurant?"
"Not yet."
"Let Yana pick her restaurant, she's good at it."
Kelana chuckles, does Renjani forget that she is the wife of a Kelana. Why Renjani worries about money.
"Everyone, let's go, I'll pick the restaurant!" Kelana exclaimed at the Renjani employees waiting in front of the building.
They smiled broadly at Kelana's words. They immediately packed up and headed for the parking lot ready to go. They've smelled the scent of treaties since Kelana's car stopped in front of the office.
Kelana asks Yana for a steak restaurant reservation they used to go to. Kelana had to choose a closed restaurant so he did not have to worry if he met many people. It can also annoy Renjani's friends.
"It's for you." Renjani gives Kelana a novel Meet Sunshine. "It's up to you to read what not but I have to love you, however you have made this all happen, thanks to Radiaksa."
The corner of Kelana's lips lifted by itself heard Renjani mention her full name.
"Although romantic stories aren't a genre I like but I'll read them through." Kelana can give criticism and advice to Renjani after reading it.
"Not to be forced." Renjani did not ask Kelana to read it, it was a thank you because Kelana had given him the facilities to realize the company of his dreams. "What's your hand?" Renjani raises Kelana's bluish-looking hand.
"Not accidentally the fall of the violin, it's been compressed cold water earlier."
"It sure hurts a lot, until the apartment is compressed again." Renjani took off Kelana's hand carefully. "You must be careful, your hands are precious."
Renjani's words made Kelana unable to hold back her smile. This is the first time anyone has worried about Kelana other than Yana. Kelana chest feels warm and comfortable. He is comfortable with Renjani.
"Don't get sick."
"I'm again rehearsing to attend the IYMC invitation, it's an international music competition held in Atlanta."
"You're a great violinist, why do you have to train so hard?"
"When I was 16 years old I became an IYMC participant but did not manage to become a champion because my rivals graduated from prestigious schools like Juilliard and Berkle."
"It's so natural that you were young at the time."
"Finally this time I get a chance to be an invited guest, I have to show my best performance, it's not funny if the participant is actually better than me."
"Yes, but don't believe me anymore." Renjani attached the soft drink cans she brought from the office to the back of Kelana's hand. He was sure it must be painful and throbbing, seen from the blue color. "Your name is listed as a world-famous violinist, don't worry too much."
"Yes." Yeah." Kelana leaned her head against Renjani's arm, wanting to take a short nap before reaching the restaurant.
Renjani glanced at Kelana, she rubbed Kelana's head slowly. Renjani has no power to see Kelana like this. Previously Renjani thought the public life of a figure full of luxury was very pleasant. But after knowing Kelana had to work hard to achieve this, Renjani felt better not to be a public figure. Even they have to keep smiling in front of the camera despite fatigue or illness.
"Life is cruel, right?" Lirih Renjani, Kelana is not much different from him. They both live a hard and crying life. "You don't have to be afraid, there I am, although I can't do anything but I can take medicine and massage your shoulders."
Renjani could not imagine how sad Kelana's life had been. No family would support or care about her situation. Only Yana takes care of Kelana but of course it is different from the inner support usually given by the family.
The sky was already dark when they reached the restaurant. A waitress directed them into the prepared room.
Renjani's employees have been silent since they entered the restaurant. They did not expect that Kelana would invite you to eat at a fancy restaurant like this. Even imagining it they never.
One of the waiters burned the meat directly in front of them, it was like a performance that became the hallmark of the restaurant. Usually Kelana ordered a steak that was ready to be eaten but because this time he invited friends Renjani, the process of grilling meat into its own entertainment.
"Please Mr. Kelana." The waiters put a thin piece of cooked meat on the Kelana plate.
"Give it to my wife first." Kelana pointed at Renjani's plate, she knew from until Renjani had been holding her saliva when she saw pieces of meat being burned on the fire.
"Thank you." Renjani smiled broadly to get a turn to eat first.
Manda tried to condition himself to be this close to Kelana let alone see Kelana's treatment of Renjani. Although not himself who gets the sweet treatment of Kelana but he joined the flowers.
During this time many news about Kelana and Renjani due to their sudden marriage. Manda was also suspicious of their relationship but after meeting in person, she could see the love in Kelana's eyes towards Renjani. It's just untrue news. As a Kelana fan, Manda was happy.
The next piece ripened quickly, everyone enjoying a soft grilled cut of meat seasoned with salt, black pepper and rosemary.
"Try me, this one tastes different, it tastes better." Renjani feeds a piece of meat to Kelana.
Kelana chewed it slowly, according to him all the meat here is delicious. He could not have chosen a bad restaurant for Renjani and his friends.
