Old Love Hasn't (Surely) Returned
CLB(T)K 11
Annisa is shocked when she gets a message containing a photo of her ex-husband and his friend at a nightclub.
Annisa assumes that her ex-husband and her friend Gita are in a close relationship.
Annisa actually does not matter if Damar is in a relationship with other women, but why should his friend?
But let it be, even though there is a part of his heart that feels uncomfortable he tries to ignore it.
"Let it be, ignore it and don't reply!" annisa said to herself.
...****************...
In the morning, Annisa left for a job interview at a private company in Jakarta.
After a few weeks ago he sent his job application by email, and the results he received to take the next test.
Annisa had arrived 10 minutes earlier than the scheduled time, worried and anxious to approach her, however this was the first time she applied for a job.
Time passed, until the applicants filled the interview waiting room.
When her name was called, Annisa stood up with a tremendous sense of nervousness, but she had to be able to control herself.
The interview went well, until a question disturbed him,
"At your current age, are you a widow?" Ask HRD.
Annisa nodded slowly. He was embarrassed, but that was the truth.
"Yes, that's how it is" replied Annisa unconvinced.
"Well, you will be contacted later regarding the results of today's interview." HRD concludes the interview.
Annisa stood up and bowed her body to the HRD before leaving the room.
...****************...
Still in the same office where Annisa applied for a job, a man stood with the results of a summary of several job applicants in his office.
"Why is this marked?" Ask the man on his HRD staff.
"The interview value is among the best sir, but she is a widow" said the HRD staff.
"Is there a rule that widows should not work here?" The leader asked back. HRD staff just shook their head.
"Call him tomorrow, I need a secretary right away!" Tell the leader.
"Well sir," the HRD staff took back the applicant files and leave from the company's leadership room.
"Why is she a widow at her age?" Ask the man in the heart.
Reenan Adhiyaksa, the head of the Adhiyaksa company, is a 35-year-old adult male and still single.
A few months ago her private secretary suddenly resigned due to her troubled pregnancy and now she must be left behind to find a replacement secretary as soon as possible.
"How did it go?" ask Joshua. The man who became the right hand as well as a friend of the company leader.
"Tomorrow he began to work" Reenan said "But is it strange that you think a 25-year-old is already a widow?" reenan asked.
"Widow? You accept a widow?" Joshua suffocated in disbelief.
"Why? You think my office doesn't accept widows? After all, the value of the results of the interview is the best among all!" reenan defended.
"Not so, just be careful there must be something that eventually makes her a widow at her age" Joshua advised.
Reenan was silent, he did not reply to Joshua's words but it was not denied that he also wondered about the same thing.
Actually there is nothing wrong with the status of a widow, just that many people are very horrendous status like that without knowing what really happened.
...****************...
On a clear morning, Annisa is ready with a white shirt suit and brown span skirt and blazer that matches the skirt she wears.
Last night he could hardly sleep because he suddenly got a phone call if he could start working today.
Of course it makes him happy and happy because this is the first time he got a job with a secretary position.
Nervous. Sure was! It's a first experience.
Annisa stepped politely and carefully when entering the office area.
"Annais?" A man approached when Annisa had reached the office lobby.
"Yes?" Annisa was confused.
"I'm Joshua, Reenan's personal assistant, let's follow me!" Take Joshua to Annisa.
They walked towards the elevator and headed straight for Reenan's room on the top floor.
Joshua stole a glance at the woman next to him. Immediately observe the appearance of Annisa who felt polite and beautiful of course.
"Is something wrong?" Annisa asked as she realized Joshua did not stop looking at her.
"Ap.ha ha ha ha no," Joshua confused himself as he was caught staring at Annisa.
When the elevator reaches the 25th floor, Annisa and Joshua step into Reenan's room.
"This is your new secretary sir" Joshua said respectfully.
Although he is close friends with the boss, it does not mean he can talk non-formal at will especially when there are other employees who are with them.
"Leave her and me" Reenan said.
"Who should get out?" Joshua asked foolishly.
"Me! Of course you're stupid!" Reenan looked at Joshua annoyed.
"Ooohh, okay be good on the new ana!" Joshua immediately stepped out.
Annisa gets cold sweat when dealing directly with the company leader. Especially now that there was only himself and the boss in the room.
"This is your first time working?" tanya Reenan stopped Annisa's daydreaming.
"Right sir," Annisa replied in a slightly trembling voice.
"I like being on time, I don't like being refuted, I like neatness and precision in terms of work, if indeed you feel able to please start working, Joshua will teach you the next few days."
"Well sir, I will remember and carry it out" replied Annisa.
Afterwards Annisa walked out of Reenan's room.
"How's the boss?" Joshua immediately asked as he saw Annisa coming out of Reenan's room.
"How indeed?" Annisa asked again.
"Is he fierce?"
Annisa shakes.
"This is your desk, I'll teach you a few weeks ahead so you can adjust the work system here" Joshua pointed to a table not far from where he was standing.
Joshua and Annisa immediately stepped up and headed to the workplace provided, Joshua taught Annisa painstakingly.
How to prepare a schedule, compile reports that must be submitted to superiors, choose important emails that must be read immediately by superiors and things that make headaches.
But Annisa can follow all Joshua's instructions well, if there are mistakes and some small questions that are common for a new employee.
"You're smart, too" Joshua praised.
"I'm cumlaude, 3.82" Annisa replied casually.
"Wow, I'm not flattered," Joshua snorted.
"If you want to clap, don't be shy" Annisa said with a smile.
The two of them chatted like old friends, there was no awkwardness at all, although Joshua avoided very sensitive questions but very curious.
As time passed near lunchtime, Reenan walked out of the room and shocked both of them seriously.
"Josh, come!" Bring Reenan.
"Well, how's the new kid?" Joshua looked at Annisa and Reenan alternately.
"Take it," Reenan replied as he stepped towards the elevator.
"Come with us!" Joshua looked at Annisa.
"No thanks, I'll have lunch alone" Annisa said politely.
"Ayooooo! The boss has brought you!" Joshua finally pulled Annisa's hand to follow him. Annisa just followed suit.
"You want your hand cut off by your wife?" Reenan said as he saw Joshua holding Annisa's hand up to the elevator.
"Your new employees must be forced to come!" joshua said as he let go of Annisa's hand.
"If you don't want to come, don't force it" Reenan said.
"No! We're friends now! Aye right?" joshua said as he looked at Annisa, who in the face only nodded stiffly.
Reenan, Joshua and Annisa step through the office lobby, all employees bowing their respects to the boss even though the boss does not reply.
They went to lunch at one of Reenan's favorite restaurants.
Arriving there, Annisa said goodbye to do the sublime prayer first, Joshua nodded.
Annisa continued to walk towards the mosque in the restaurant, when entering the Annisa mosque a little incredulous when she saw her boss was also inside to perform sublime prayers as well.
"Even I have never seen my ex-husband worship" he said.
Annisa just does not run out of thought that even her boss currently has a bigger company than her ex-husband once did, but her boss also still remembers about her obligations to the Almighty.
After finishing the prayer, Annisa went out, seen her boss sitting down and playing her phone.
"Mr didn't go inside?" Annisa's asking approaches Reenan.
"I'm waiting for you, you don't know where I usually sit" Reenan said as he passed by Annisa.
Annisa follows Reenan as not daring to walk next to her.
As she was about to get to the seat, Annisa accidentally bumped into someone familiar to her.
"I'm sorry" Annisa said, looking down.
"It's okay," replied the man that Annisa hit.
Feeling familiar with the voice in front of her, Annisa looked up and was shocked.
"Sister?" annisa said while closing her mouth.
