The next days went on as usual. I started to get preoccupied with all my work in the office. Nando did, Nando wanted to take time off, so now he started to buy jobs so that hotels smooth while on leave.
The purpose of the leave is to see his papa, regarding our wedding plans. Every day we would wait for that time to come, ah, how hard is it for us to be together? Too long, but me and Nando are ready to take it all. Nando says he'll leave her all behind if her father doesn't agree.
Then me?
If the position is behind, am I able to do as extreme as Nando later? I love Nando not for the money, and I'm ready to live off the paychecks we have. But I forgot, Nando has been used to living since childhood, even though he is hardworking, it must not be easy for Nando to go through the process.
Our communications in the office are not what they used to be. At most lunchtime Nando asks me to order a meal, and we eat together in my office or her office. That's when I used it to evaluate my work during Nando's stay. While on the way home, and sometimes Nando stopped at the apartment, we discussed the issue of marriage and its risks again. Somehow formed the habit, me and Nando can be said to not discuss our personal problems at the office at all.

Tonight Nando stays at the apartment, because the day after tomorrow he has left for the city where papa and his mama are. Her mother promised to help Nando to convince her papa.
I've seen Nando so exhausted lately. After work, she fell asleep faster, sometimes forgetting to call me. Tonight is like that too. His face was tired, even though Nando was still Nando, trying to stay cheerful, able to joke, and spoil me.
" You've been so tired lately, don't need to be at work.. There's still time" I told Nando. Nando leaned straight onto the sofa, and looked towards me who was sitting next to him.
" I'm afraid, I don't know when I can return, later all this is urgent, I'm also not comfortable on leave. While you know, I leave tomorrow, I don't know that day I can meet papa and mama"
True too, with the busyness of his father, Nando could meet his father maybe two to 3 days later.
" Yes, there's still tomorrow to get ready. Do not be imposed, the name of the work must be every day there. Continued operations will also certainly continue to run even if there is no you"
I tried to encourage Nando, because Nando who usually works more relaxed and organized, lately even so it looks rushed and stressed. Maybe because of his new position, Nando so still need another adjustment for the work rhythm.
Nando hugged me. From here I felt there must be something.
" Or, do you really just want to turn your mind to Ndo's work? Are you stressed out about meeting your papa?" Yeah, could be. Nando busied himself due to the stress of this problem.
Nando was silent, neither answering nor reacting. His eyes were staring at the television, and I knew that if I asked him, he wouldn't know what he was watching right now.
" Ndooooo" Call me
Nando was still pensive..
" Nando's...." Call me again in a louder voice. Though I was still beside him in a position still in the hug.
" Eh,, yes yank" he replied, turning his face toward me.
" Why are you? You ready aren't you? Or do we just delay until you're ready? I'm confused seeing you like this? "
" Ready, want to be stored until when, although not now one day me and you will also face this again. It's just a matter of time. We'll finish faster better"
" Yes well, whatever it is, you keep me informed. Your father agrees or not, you tell me"

Morning came, today was the last day Nando worked before his leave. We left early in the morning for breakfast. Nando looks brighter and less stiff yesterday.
" Would you sleep boss? " ask me.
" It's nice, kind of immediately, Tomorrow I leave in the morning, you're the one who transfers to the airport, yes, permission not to take the briefing"
" Why?"
" Let the car you can use, then you need to go anywhere when I don't bother"
" No, there are still online motorcycle taxi also Ndo, it's not good if your car I use. See you at the owner's mother later the story"
" Gpp, mama, I know our relationship"
I nod my head. Doesn't mean I'm. I just kept his mood up today. Don't argue first. I can leave the car parked in the apartment, and use the online taxi to the hotel. That simple.
We continued our journey to the hotel. And split up into their respective offices.
At the briefing I also saw Nando more selooow than yesterday. Just mandated that as long as he did not exist, Mr. Thomson would replace him in the hotel operations. The rest of the cost, please talk about it by chat or phone.
Briefing completed. And I went back to the office. Due to the not too much work related reports, I accompanied the receptionist children standing at the counter.
The lobby is a bit quiet. Because there is no event in the next few days. Only walk-in guests want a weekend. Mostly family.
" Sir Nando wants a leave of absence?" ask one of my receptionists.
" lyes.. Starting tomorrow. Why that?" ask me back
" So, I've been busy lately. It is rare to stop at FO"
" Haha... Gpp, he's again a lot of adjustment to his GM work rhythm. But it doesn't change, does it? Still friendly with you guys?"
" Oh yeah, he's been arrogant before..."
" Thank God.. "
Then we talked about things that happened lately. Barriers that they feel after no assistant manager anymore, where the supervisor I upgraded his job to replace the assistant job.
The answer from them is quite positive, because the hotel was running well when there was Nando and I, indeed, so it's only possible that the supervisor is kind of adjusting to his new job like I am right now.
I love it with my team now. Hopefully my turn over is not high, so that those who already know me, and I know their character, can work together even longer.
