“You're from anywhere, Cel? Everyone is waiting for you. Without you they wouldn't have started the meeting. You're such a bitch..!” grouse Rega. The face of a man who is no less handsome than Excel implies annoyance. Excel did not seem to feel guilty about him. A pile of anger inflicted by Star Media clients was forced to swallow Rega deeply. Because it's been waiting too long for the President Director.
Excel ignored the vague muttering sound of Rega. More or less he knew what his mistake was, so he chose to rush towards the meeting room which was on the 5th floor of the Star Media building.
“Cel..” Rega was upset by Excel. He ran small to be able to match the steps of his superiors. “....can't at least tell me where you went earlier?”
“Not something important, Ga. You better not waste your time. You said we were being awaited.” Excel stops when it arrives at the elevator door.
“If it doesn't matter why did you ignore my phone?” not heeding Excel's speech, Rega still demanded an explanation. “You met Micah?”
“No..” Excel speech disconnects because elevator opens. “...So I have a little problem. And it's done kok.”
“Trouble?” Rega pressed the number 5 on the panel near the elevator door when both were in the box that would take them up.
Feeling caught off guard as Rega continues to hunt him down, after taking a breath Excel finally decides to tell Rega. “Ya..tadi I almost hit people. And I forgot to look at it in a hurry back to the office.”
“How is it? What severe? Why didn't you tell me earlier?”
“Ga, please..stop chasing me with that silly question of yours. I told you everything just now. If he was hurt, I would not forget. Why are you being stupid today?”
Excel's speech silenced Rega's mouth. The man even held his breath as Excel snapped at him.
“That's better..” says Excel. The elevator door opened when it reached the fifth floor where the meeting room was located. Excel took a quick, circular clock in his hand showing that soon the office hours were coming home so he had to rush to see the client.
“Sorry..make you wait long Sir!” Excel greets two men who are sitting on their backs to the door. The two of them turned their heads with expressions of resentment that could no longer be hidden.
“Sorry..So I have a short business.” Excel's attitude that seemed full of regret melted the men. The two men got up and welcomed Excel.
“It is better not to repeat, Mr. Excel. Actually I'm a little disappointed but yes, I can understand if it's your urgent business. In addition, we have been partnering with Star since a long time.”
They shook tightly with smiles full of relief.
“Alright, we'd better get started soon Mr.” Excel immediately took a seat directly opposite the two men after putting down Naja's chocolate envelope. Smiled a glance before letting the swivel chair swallow his body.
***
Naja's body felt refreshed after the water soaked his body. His stomach also started screaming hungry when tired of coming along with the water. With a towel wrapped around her head, Naja sends a message to Tara to bring her some food when she gets home.
“But Tara should have gone home, right?” naja's eye bead clenched the clock perched on the wall. “Where is he?”
Laying yourself on your back on the mattress with a loud bang so as to make the phone that is still in your grasp come thrown away. Looking back, Naja recalled the incident just now. Strange with the opposite attitude of Excel a few days ago.
Vibration on his phone, made Naja fumble around this not so soft mattress. Bringing the flat object before his face. The round eyeballs are perfectly patterned. His aunt gaped but held back the screeches that were about to slide.
His thumb darted like a race car sliding the green emblem. The number he just saved this afternoon.
“Ha-hello...” greet Naja when the phone is attached to the side of his head. Still hesitant to greet the contact who contacted him. Resisting the feeling of pleasure that fills the chest cavity.
“Good afternoon Nana,”
Right. This is Ai, Naja pulled the phone into her sight range. Check the name on the phone screen again. Her lips were bitten in the corner. The sparkles in his eyes grew very fast and exploded like fireworks. His heartbeat raced against his chest from inside.
“Halo Na..”
“Eh...I-iya Ai's. How are you doing? Is this really my Ai voice?” so fast the movement of Naja's hand made the phone almost slide down.
“What?” Shouted Naja. Making Tara who had just pushed the door open also jumped in shock. He rose from his position in one swift motion.
“Iya.. We meet now. I'm already in front of your kos.”
Naja shouted without a sound, jumping around like a child with a mobile phone clasped in front of the chest.
Tara to the astonishment she made, her forehead wrinkled deeply while sneering in horror. “Win the draw?” tara asked in a soft voice as well.
Ignoring Tara, Naja returned to talking on the phone. “Ba-well Ai, I'll be out now.”
“I'm waiting for you Nana..”
Naja threw her phone into the bed and tidied up her slightly messy appearance. Patting her cheeks with powder and combing her half-wet hair, Naja pecked herself in front of the mirror. Once it felt neat enough, he immediately stepped into the door.
“Your feature is lost after on phone Ai?” Tara had since noticed her brother in silence. Seeing the happy hue that radiated from Naja's face.
Naja. “Nasi rames can still wait. But my Ai is not.”
“Basic chick bucin.” Tara ejeked at her sister who had left the room.
Gurgling. One year without exchanging news, without knowing each other made Naja nervous. The shadow form of Naja will be Syailendra Jiwandaru at this time. If Ai is now high, of course, only dust chips in front of him. This thought made Naja's footsteps swallow, hesitation began to creep from within his heart.
“Na..” slowly face Naja looking for sound source. Twelve full-fledged voices did not hear him.
“Ai...Is that it?” a body figure with a perfect silhouette stepped towards him. Naja was really sculpting when he saw his Ai was so charming. The heavenly-faced man smiled towards him. And those eyes can never make Naja melt. The eyes that always make Naja fall in love.
Ai stretched out her hand ready to accept Naja into her. It was undeniable that the man also exuded a deep longing.
“You don't miss your Ai, Nana? Why just shut up?”
