Before going to the hotel, Bagas escorted Indhira first to Raffasya's house, because his wife wanted to return to work at Azkia's boutique. Previously Indhira himself had contacted Azkia, if he wanted to return to work, and Azkia also allowed Indhira to return to the boutique. Bagas was obliged to escort Indhira. He would not have the heart to make his wife go alone to Azkia's house, even though the hotel where he worked alone was closer to his rented house, than Raffasya's.
" Assalamualaikum, Mr. Dudung's Morning." Indhira greeted Mr. Dudung, the security guard who was on guard this morning at the Raffasya family home.
" Waalaikumsalam .. uh, newlyweds." Pak Dudung rushed out of his post and opened the gate for Indhira.
" Have you started working, Mother? Kirain's still a honeymoon." Pak Dudung chuckled at Indhira's current arrival with Bagas.
" Yes, sir." said Indhira timidly. " Mum Kia hasn't left yet, has she?" ask Indhira to change the direction of the conversation so that Mr. Dudung does not discuss his marriage with Bagas.
" There, Ma'am. Just log in ...!" Mr. Dudung invited Indhira in.
" Ra, I didn't come in, did I!? Just say my regards to Mr. Raffa and Ms. Kia." Bagas chose not to enter Raffasya's house because he had to go to work immediately. It was his first day working at the Gavin hotel. Of course he did not want to make a reproach by coming late on his first day.
" Yes already, be careful, yes, Mas." Indhira immediately grabbed the husband's hand and kissed the back of his hand.
" You too, work must be focused, don't daydream me!" The words of Bagas actually made Pak Dudung giggle, so that made Bagas and Indhira turn towards Pak Dudung.
" A really romantic new bride" commented Mr. Dudung later.
" It must be, sir! Let it last ..." Bagas grinned. " Yes, no, Yank?" Bagas blinked his eyes at his wife.
" It's fast to go! It's late, you know!" Indhira told Bagas to quickly go from there, because she did not want her husband with Pak Dudung compact teasing her.
" Yes already, I'm leaving yeah, Yank. I'll take care of you first, sir. Argoshaikum ..." Bagas said goodbye to Indhira and Pak Dudung.
" Waalaikumsalam, be careful, Mas." Indhira and Pak Dudung answered along with the same answer, making them turn to each other and laugh.
" I went inside first, sir." After Bagas moved away, Indhira immediately said goodbye to Mr. Dudung to enter the house owned by his boss.
" Oh, please, Ma'am." Pak Dudung immediately closed the gate back after Indhira entered the house.
" Assalamualaikum, Ma'am Uni." When entering Raffasya's house, Indhira greeted Uni who opened the door for him.
" Waalaikumsalam .. you know, Mrs Indi, how are you working again? Not going on a honeymoon, Mommy?" Like her Mr. Dudung, Uni was also surprised by the presence of Indhira in his boss' house.
" The question is confused at home alone to do what, Ma'am? So mending me help out with Mom Kia's job at the boutique, Ma'am." Indhira said the reason for choosing to return to activities in Azkia's boutique.
" Mum Kia's in the room, Ma'am?" ask Indhira.
" Yes, go upstairs, ma'am." Uni let Indhira go straight to Azkia's room as usual.
" Yes, Miss Uni. I'm going upstairs first." Indhira said goodbye to Uni and then stepped up the stairs to Azkia's room.
Tok tok tok tok
Indhira chose to visit Azkia in Azkia's room because she did not see Raffasya's car parked in the yard. Azkia's husband usually takes her children to school.
" Eh, Ra. Coming, Ra!" As Azkia made the door of her room, the woman let Indhira in.
" Thank you, Mom." Indhira closed the door to Azkia's room, which Azkia had opened.
" You're 'cocky, in such a rush to work again, Ra? Don't want to enjoy the wedding holidays first? You guys got a honeymoon ticket from Uncle, right? Why don't you go honeymoon there?" asked Azkia to ask why Indhira seemed to want to work quickly.
" My husband started working this Monday, Mom. It's not nice to have to ditch, but Om Gavin has been kind enough to give my husband a hotel job. I've never been abroad, Mom. I don't have a passport, my husband's passport is also in his parents' house, so there's a lot to take care of if I leave for him in the near future, ma'am." Not to be grateful for what has been given by Gavin, but Bagas and Indhira must consider several things to go honeymoon abroad that Gavin gave as their wedding gift
" Oh, that's ... Well, tickets and accommodations are forfeited if you don't go there fast?" tanya Azkia is worried that Bagas and Indhira are not quick to cancel the honeymoon itinerary given by Gavin.
" The time of departure there has not been determined 'kok, ma'am. Om Gavin told us to set our own time, if we're ready, Om Gavin will tell people to take care of it." Indhira told her what her husband told her. Because Bagas was the one who talked to Gavin about the gift of a honeymoon ticket abroad.
" Oh, that's .. Thank goodness the time has not been set, Ra." said Azkia later.
" Oh yeah, how does it feel to be married to a first love?" Azkia was idly asking the effect of Indhira's marriage to the woman.
***
It was Bagas' first day working at Gavin's Richard Fams Hotel as General Manager of the hotel. The position he got, the highest position in that hotel. The presence of Bagas as a General Manager who has a beautiful level, certainly makes almost all female employees in hotels from various professions excited. You can imagine how excited the hotel employee was when previously led by a fifty-five-year-old old man with a distended stomach. Now replaced with a young man, handsome face with an athletic and proportional body that makes women instantly fascinated.
Not a few female employees at the hotel were preparing to race for the charm of trying to attract the attention of the new General Manager. Like this morning at the reception desk filled with three female employees were gossiping before the arrival of Bagas at the hotel.
" It's thick, Fis, it's thick!" sindir Farah, when she saw Fiska clapping the powder back on her cheek and tidying up her makeup.
" Hush, noisy!" sergeant Fiska returns to lipstick with his lipstick. " If it looks perfect gini right, it's worse if the new boss passes by." Fiska chuckled while protecting the perfume at some point of her pulse.
" What's so handsome about our new boss, Fis?" dahlia asked curiously, she was on holiday when Bagas last Tuesday came with Gavin.
" That's a pretty good thing, Li. You'll see for yourself, huh! Let's hope it's coming in from this lobby, not from the basement." Fiska hopes that Bagas will come through the hotel lobby so that he can see and enjoy the good looks of his boss.
" That's curious, huh! I wonder if the new General Manager "Dahlia is getting curious.
" You'll know later, Li. But no need to have a crush, huh!? Let my rivals not be much." Fiska laughs asking Dahlia not to follow their new manager.
" If it's really handsome, I don't promise I won't have a crush, Fik." This time it was Dahlia's turn to laugh. " His name is female, naturally, dong! If there is a handsome so come admire!?" continued.
" You are the intention of work or want to hide!? If a guest comes and sees you crouching like this, they will definitely judge you to be unprofessional. If you have no intention of working, you should immediately resign rather than embarrass the good name of this hotel!"
The sound of someone reprimanding the employees at the reception desk made the three employees speechless and stop gossiping. They also looked directly at the voice.
" I'm sorry, Miss Elma." The three officers spoke out their apologies.
Elma is the executive assistant manager at the hotel. He is known as an employee who is strict to employees and impressed jutek. Not a few hotel employees who are hostile to him because his firm attitude is considered not flexible to employees and impressed look for face to the boss.
About ten minutes later, Bagas did arrive at the hotel through the hotel lobby door, because Bagas went to work on a motorbike. Actually, Gavin has given the service car facilities for bagas, but Bagas refused on the grounds that it is difficult to park in his rented place, because his service car certainly includes a luxury car that costs billions. He does not want to risk having to replace if until the car is damaged or other. Because now, he must be wiser to manage his finances.
" Good morning, sir." Before security greeted Bagas, the man kindly greeted the security guard at the entrance of the hotel.
" Good morning, sir." The security slightly bent his body back to Bagas, because it felt bad to be greeted first by his new boss.
Bagas then walked into the hotel lobby. Of course his experience as a leader of a large company made him flexible but still authoritative when stepping into the hotel owned by Gavin Richard.
" Good morning, sir." Fiska and Farah greet Bagas as Bagas crosses the reception desk, while Dahlia is stunned when she sees Bagas who now looks more handsome.
" Good morning." With a smile Bagas greeted the three employees at the reception desk. A smile that felt like a cold breeze to Fiska and Farah.
" Bagas' brother?"
Bagas who had passed the three employees immediately stopped his steps when he heard the voice of one of the employees mentioned his name. Bagas even twisted his body because he thought the employee recognized him personally if heard from the way the person called him.
" This is Bagas, right? Brother Bagaspati who used to go to school at Satu Nusa Satu Bangsa High School?" It was Dahlia who called Bagas.
" Yes, right, I am indeed a graduate of that High School. Are you my underclassman there?" tanya Bagas tried to recognize who the employee who greeted him earlier.
Confidently, Dahlia walked out of the reception desk and ran over to Bagas. Certainly the actions of Dahlia made Fiska and Farah stunned, because it turns out Dahlia had already known Bagas.
" Bagas still remember I don't? I'm Dahlia, Brother. Where have you been all this time? We haven't met for a long time. It's good to see Bagas back." Dahlia now extended her hand towards Bagas.
" Dahlia's? Sorry, I forgot. Dahlia who, huh? Were you my friend in High School? Or my Junior High?" Bagas had indeed forgotten who the woman who claimed to be named Dahlia was. He also did not welcome Dahlia's hand.
" I'm Dahlia, Brother. I'm Indhira's cousin's brother. Brother Bagas remember Indhira didn't?" Dahlia, who is none other than Auntie and Om Indhira, tries to open Bagas' memory so that Bagas recognizes him.
Instantly Bagas rounded his eyeballs when he found out that the woman before him was currently the son of Aunt Marta and Om Ferry, Indhira's family had the heart to make Indhira's life like a maid in his own home. Indhira family members who do not consider Indhira like their family. Indhira family who took the rights of Indhira as an orphan at that time.
Bagas' jaw instantly tightened, even his hands had started to clench. If only the person before him was currently a man and he was currently not in need of a job, it felt like he wanted to immerse pu kulan to that person as a form of retribution for what they had done to Indhira so far.
" Indhira?" Bagas now had to make a show by pretending to be surprised to hear the name Indhira. " I'm sorry, Indhira who, huh?" ask her later. Instantly his brain worked, so he chose to go on a show while thinking of a plan to trap his wife's family who had already treated his wife inhumanely.
This time it was Dahlia who was shocked because Bagas did not know who Indhira was. He also thought that Bagas had forgotten Indhira because there must have been many Bagas women dating so Bagas forgot Indhira just like that. Bagas and Indhira were caught in a viral video case. " Did Bagas pretend not to remember Indhira because he was ashamed of the video case, huh?" thought Dahlia.
" Hmmm, Indhira it .. Kak Bagas friend time High School. Kak Bagas used to drive Indhira home, you know!" Dahlia tries to make Bagas remember Indhira back.
" really? How is Indhira now? Sorry I kind of forgot which one?" Bagas pretended to massage his temple.
" Hmmm, I don't know where Indhira is now? Because he was running away from home, sister." Dahlia's story about Indhira.
" Oh that .. Yeah, now you're back to work." After finishing his sentence, Bagas then turned back his body and continued his steps towards the elevator to the floor where the General Manager room was located.
" Li, do you know our new boss?" ask Fiska who feels defeated one step from Dahlia, because Dahlia knows personally with Bagas.
" Yes, he was my cousin's boyfriend. But, his name is also a playboy of many of his girlfriends, so he forgot my cousin," the story tells Dahlia explained to his two friends with pursed lips, because Bagas looks indifferent even like he does not recognize him.
While in the elevator, Bagas was happy to be reunited with his wife's family who used to behave badly towards Indhira.
" At last I met you guys. I was very curious to meet Aunt Marta, especially Om Ferry who almost intended to sell Indhira. You must accept vengeance for what you have done to Indhira all this time." Bagas was really excited to meet his wife's family. And it is certain that Bagas will make calculations to all of them for their treatment of Indhira. Like the word, he was able to oppose his parents to defend Indhira especially only against Aunt Marta and Om Ferry who had no blood ties with him.
Ting
The elevator door opened on the floor to which Bagas was heading. He stepped into the office at his new job.
" Good morning, Mr. Bagas." Suddenly Elma greeted Bagas who had just arrived in front of the General Manager workspace.
Bagas narrowed his eyes as he looked at the beautiful woman before him at this moment. He stared fixedly at the woman, because he recognized the woman who greeted him earlier.
" Elma?" Now Bagas's eyeballs are rounded as he recognizes who is in front of him at the moment.
Elma was one of the women Bagas dated when he was young. It was Elma who made him turn away from Crystal back then. However, Bagas eventually left Elma when he became interested in Indhira.
" Surprise you remember me, Bagas. It's good to see you again." Elma stretched out her hand towards Bagas while giving a smile when she found out that Bagas still remembered her.
" W-are you here, Elma?" Bagas was amazed when he found Elma in Gavin's hotel, especially Elma in front of his room. Definitely not a random person can go to the floor where his work room is located.
" I've been working here for five years. I'm the Executive Assistant at this hotel, and I'll help you with your work here, Bagas." Elma explained her position at the Gavin-owned hotel to Bagas.
Bagas gasped to hear of Elma's position at the hotel which he was about to lead at this time. Of course Elma's status as her former lover made her feel uncomfortable. Because it can be ascertained if he and Elma will often interact with the position they each hold.
Bagas was sure of his heart. He was sure if he would not turn his back on Indhira because it was already proven he was loyal to only love Indhira. Precisely what he was afraid of was that Elma would get carried away with their reunion. And Bagas is sure, Indhira will definitely be jealous if Indhira knows she is currently in one place of work with her former lover first.
Bagas never expected himself to be reunited with Elma, one of the women who had once been close to him. All went in order in a very close time period between meeting Indhira and Elma, even though he returned to Jakarta two years ago.
