Bend the day, Tanaka who has been dressed neatly in a semi-formal suit that he once wore when going to his ex-girlfriend's wedding came to a building called Jaya Group tower located in the SCBD area that is famous for special business district in South Jakarta.
He came to the building to fulfill the invitation from Ayunindya. Tanaka doesn't come alone, but he comes with his best friend, Martin.
"I still can't believe it, you called me all of a sudden, tell me you were in Jakarta just a few days after I left Jogja city and then ask me to accompany you to the birthday party for an invitation." Obviously Martin who has parked his car in a place available in the Jaya Group tower area.
The parking area is filled with cars that are more expensive than their cars and most are imported cars from Europe. Only he uses cheap cars that are owned by many middle to lower classes.
"Yes, this is actually out of plan, I would have told you that I came to Jakarta to take care of a visa and then leave South Korea, but I just found out that the visa was not straight out, I have to wait a few days to be." Obviously Tanaka while removing the seat belt and preparing to get out of the car Martin.
"I think it's just a normal birthday and you ask for a meeting because you don't know the way in Jakarta" said Martin who also did the same thing as Tanaka. "But it turns out that we attended the birthday event of one of the top companies in Indonesia, how did you get the invitation? Though not just anyone can get an invitation from the Jaya Group company."
"Yes, it just happened by accident, he suddenly invited me to come, because I had been invited I had to come in his honor." Said Tanaka who after getting out of the car and tidying up his semi-formal suit.
Martin had also come out and tidied up his formal suit, tie, suit and pants.
"You should tell me about this as clearly as possible because it's also about our company." Martin. "It's possible that we could invest in one of Jaya Group's companies."
Tanaka just nodded his head and then walked towards the lobby of the building. Martin followed him, walking beside him.
Upon entering the building, which is like a five-star hotel lobby, Tanaka and Martin follow the guests invited to Jaya Group's birthday.
They and the invited guests stopped in front of a two-door wide open and there were two officers holding tabs.
Two officers examined the invited guests by scanning the barcode on the invitation card before being allowed to enter the room where the event took place.
"Hey, you brought the invitation card, right?" Martin asked in a whisper.
"No, I don't have an invitation card at all." Reply Tanaka with ease.
Martin was surprised to hear that because without the invitation card the two of them would not be able to enter the room.
"How come you don't have the invitation card? How do we get in?" Ask Martin.
"The introduction I said would include my name in the guest list." Tanaka replied in a still calm manner with no anxiety or worry at all.
Very different from his best friend who was anxious because Tanaka did not have an invitation card but still wanted to attend the anniversary event Jaya Group company.
Even so, Martin just nodded his head and believed in his best friend.
When it was their turn, the attendant who stood guard at the door and held a tab containing the guest name list asked Tanaka to show the invitation card.
"We don't have an invitation card, but my name is on the list, please check." Tanaka.
Of course it made the officer feel astonished and suspicious of Tanaka and Martin. However, the officer did what Tanaka asked.
He immediately typed in the search pane after Tanaka mentioned his name.
"Sorry, your name is not on the guest list." Said the officer.
Hearing that made Tanaka frown because the name was not on the guest list, unlike what Ayunindya said yesterday.
"Try doing it again, maybe something's wrong." Said Tanaka who still believes in Ayunindya.
The officer began to get more suspicious but he kept doing it because he thought the same as Tanaka, there was an error in typing before.
After doing so, Tanaka's name still did not appear and the officer was convinced that Tanaka was not an invited guest so he asked to step aside so that other invited guests could be checked.
Tanaka and Martin could only step aside, letting the invited guests behind them be examined by the officer.
"Have the two of them gone mad, wanting to enter without an invitation card?"
"Hahaha, it's possible that they both think it's an ordinary event that can infiltrate easily like a wedding so they can eat for free."
"How could they be this stupid? Do they both do not know that this event is an event from a well-known company in Indonesia so not just anyone can attend."
Various scorn and insults attacked Tanaka and Martin from the invited guests who were still in front of the door of the event room.
Martin just lowered his head and felt ashamed of it.
"Hey, were you really invited?" Ask Martin.
Tanaka nodded his head, "He said that I could attend because I would put my name on the guest list." Tanaka.
"Who is your acquaintance, to promise something like this?" Ask Martin.
"He was ... "
Not yet Tanaka answered someone calling his name so that he and Martin looked towards the person.
A woman who was embracing the arm of a man walked up to the two of them.
"Tan, what are you doing here?" Ask the girl. "Are you invited to celebrate the establishment of the Jaya Group company?"
"That's ... "
Tanaka could not answer because she was confused to give her answer.
"Who? Is this the acquaintance you said it was?" Martin asked in a whisper.
"No, this is my married ex-boyfriend, the man next to her husband." Tanaka replied in a whisper as well.
Martin was surprised to hear that, he did not think that Tanaka had ever had a relationship with a woman.
"If you're an invited guest, let's go in together." Take Saras' husband, Harry.
"That's ... "
Not even Tanaka replied, someone has given an answer.
"The two of them couldn't enter because they didn't have an invitation card." Said a man with a woman who was also embracing the man's arm.
The four of them immediately saw the person who spoke and Tanaka, Martin knew both of them.
"Richard, Karen?" Ask Martin.
"Yes, we haven't seen each other since that reunion, Martin, Tanaka." Said Richard in an arrogant and arrogant style.
Tanaka and Martin nodded their heads.
"Are you and Karen dating?" Ask Martin.
Karen is one of the students who became the prima donnaya Cita Harapan High School where they attended school.
The woman had liked Tanaka who had a handsome face and smart, even shot him but ignored by Tanaka just like that.
Despite that, Karen still tried to get close to Tanaka, but until finally she failed to get Tanaka as a lover, even as a friend also failed.
Richard smiled proudly at Karen's waist, which he had loved since High School.
"Yes, we're after the reunion." Richard said with a grin, staring at Tanaka.
But because he did not want to get an ugly image in school, making himself hold back his jealousy.
Tanaka just smiled calmly and congratulated Richard and Karen very sincerely.
Of course the sincere congratulations made Richard and Karen feel upset. Richard is upset that Tanaka is not jealous at all and Karen is upset that Tanaka took it for granted.
"Mr Richard, I'm Harry Baktiar, chief marketing officer of Jaya Group." Said Harry who thrust his hand to shake hands with Richard.
Richard let go of Karen's waistband to shake Harry.
"Sir Richard, if you may know what you said about not having an invitation card?" Harry asked as he looked towards Tanaka and Martin.
Richard then recounts what happened before Harry and Saras showed up.
"Gosh, so these two guys are trying to infiltrate?" Said Harry in a slightly loud voice for everyone to hear so that Tanaka and Martin were embarrassed.
Martin did not accept the accusation. "Who do you call an intruder?" Ask Martin who is upset. "We do not have an invitation card, but there is an acquaintance of my best friend who tells me that his name will be included in the guest list."
"Hahaha, how come your names are on the guest list?" Ask Harry arrogantly. "Nothing is it? So it's no different with you two trying to infiltrate."
Hearing that made Martin speechless because Tanaka's name was not on the guest list.
"This is an important event organized by the Jaya Group company to commemorate the day of its establishment, and the invited guests are selected people who all have invitation cards." Obviously Harry.
"One of them is like this Mr. Richard who is the main heir to the Marx Group company." Harry revealed that made Richard even more humble.
Martin is upset by what Harry is doing and Tanaka is silent.
He whispered to Martin to leave the place because there was nothing they could do anymore.
Seeing Tanaka and Martin leaving makes Harry and Richard continue to say things that make Tanaka and Martin will feel very embarrassed.
"Do you two want to leave after being caught wanting to infiltrate this show?" Richard asked with a mocking laugh.
"If I were you, I'd have plastic surgery so that your shameful face would no longer be known to many." Said Harry.
Of course, the two of them were made loud so that the people around could hear and make Tanaka and Martin into their conversation, of course the conversation they do is not a positive thing but a negative thing all.
Martin is very upset with Richard and Harry, he is eager to hit them both in the face but is held back by Tanaka because it will add to the problems that are happening now.
"We'll just go, Martin." Tanaka said briefly, while encouraging his best friend to walk out of the building.
But just a few steps they walk there is someone who appears and asks about the commotion that occurred outside the hall room that will be the venue for the celebration of the establishment of the Jaya Group company on the invitation card examiner.
"What's this commotion?" Ask the guy.
"I'm sorry, Miss Cindy, it's two people trying to get in but don't have an invitation card." Said the officer while pointing towards Tanaka and Martin who were walking.
Cindy looks at Tanaka and Martin, but she forgets Tanaka's face so she thinks he's just two fools who want to infiltrate the show in order to eat for free.
However, a few moments later, he remembered the order from Ayunindya that he had not done because of the many tasks he had to do for this event.
However, his boss, Ayunindya has become the person in charge of the celebration so that as his secretary he has many tasks that must be done so that the continuity of the event succeeds well.
"What did one of them say his name?" Ask Cindy.
"Yes, if it's not wrong then the name ... Ta ... Ka?" Answer the officer who forgot Tanaka's name. "Sorry, Miss Cindy, I forgot, but her name is similar to a Japanese name."
Cindy immediately realized that the person who had just left was her boss's guest who was asked to be included in the guest list, but he had not done so he went to the hall room door just in case if the boss's guest came.
Meanwhile, Tanaka, who is at the door of the outer lobby, is trying to calm Martin, who seems still angry over the events that occurred before.
"How can you let them embarrass us, Tan?" Said Martin who was upset.
"Already, calm, calm, do not be too taken heart, it will only make you tired if you serve them." Tanaka. "After all we don't have an invitation card and my name isn't on the guest list either, so what can we do?"
"Despite that, they shouldn't humiliate us like this in front of so many people." Martin. "After all, why don't you just call your acquaintance? Tell him your name isn't on the guest list."
Tanaka just fell silent because he didn't want to call Ayunindya just because of a little thing like this, even though she invited him, she said, but still there or none of him will have no effect on the Jaya Group company event.
"Here we go, let's just get out of here and find a nice hangout while we talk about our company." Take Tanaka.
Martin only let out a long sigh and then nodded his head because he also had no mood to attend the event of one of the biggest and famous companies in Indonesia.
"Wait, you two, please wait a minute." Said Cindy who had approached Tanaka and Martin who were going to go to the car park.
The two men immediately stopped and turned to look at Cindy who walked up to them and finally stood before the two of them.
Tanaka and Martin stared at each other to see if anyone knew the woman standing before them.
"Sorry, who are you? Is there anything I can help you with?" Tanaka asked after learning that the woman in front of him was not an acquaintance of Martin.
"Hey, Tan, isn't he your acquaintance?" Martin asked in a whisper.
"No, I don't know this woman." Tanaka replied in a whisper as well.
"Sorry, is one of you called Tanaka Syahputra?" Ask Cindy.
Hearing her name being mentioned, Tanaka raised one of her eyebrows up in confusion. He had never met the woman in front of him.
"Say you don't know, how could he know your full name?" Martin asked in a whisper.
"I don't know either, I really don't know him, it's even our first meeting." Tanaka replied in a whisper.
"That's me, sorry who are you? How do I know my name?" Ask Tanaka.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm Cindy Montana, her secretary Miss Ayunindya, marketing and development director of Jaya Group." Cindy introduced herself.
"I'm sorry, miss Ayunindya asked me to include Mr. Tanaka's name in the guest list, but I forgot to do so, please forgive me, Mr. Tanaka." Cindy said as she lowered her body slightly downwards.
"Oh, I see, it's okay, I just felt confused because there was no name, but Miss Ayunindya who had invited me to come to this event." Tanaka said calmly because he already knew the reason why his name did not exist.
"Yes, I'm sorry about this, if Mr. Tanaka pleases, you can come in to follow the show." Take Cindy.
"What can? My name's not on the guest list?" Ask Tanaka.
Cindy nodded her head and did not bother about it because however Tanaka was the invited guest of her boss who is the only daughter of the main director of Jaya Group and will be the main heir to the Jaya Group company later.
Hearing that he could enter even though there was no invitation card or name on the guest list, Tanaka looked at Martin for his opinion.
"Otherwise we're waiting, this lady has told us we can get in, so we're just doing it like this lady said." Martin.
Tanaka nodded his head and the three of them went back inside the building and walked towards the hall room where the event took place.
Tanaka and Martin do not need to wait in line because Cindy leads them in and tells the officers that Tanaka is a guest of Ayunindya and Martin is a friend invited by Tanaka.
The attendant simply nodded his head and let the three of them enter just like that without the need to check in the invitation card.
"Please sit here and please enjoy the dishes available before the event starts, I will tell Miss Ayunindya about the presence of Mr. Tanaka." Cindy left the two men.
