Meanwhile at a fancy restaurant in the city of Z a middle-aged man was sitting in one of the VIP rooms located in the restaurant. The middle-aged man had indeed deliberately booked a VIP room to meet with someone. A very handsome man despite his age is no longer young. His appearance is very neat and charming indicates if the man is a respected person and of course belongs to the upper class economy.
The middle-aged man who was still quite handsome was Hermawan Wicaksana. A successful businessman and also served as mayor several periods before. Mr. Hermawan is also the father of an Agam Birendra Wicaksana. And he was currently waiting for someone he had already invited to meet him at Bouttier restaurant, one of the very famous luxury restaurants in Z city. Actually, the time he promised to meet someone was still half an hour, but now Mr. Hermawan was in the VIP room of the restaurant to wait for the arrival of his guests.
Time and again the middle-aged man glanced at the expensive timepiece that was coiled stocky on his wrist. Until a servant came and told him that someone who had an appointment with him had arrived and was waiting for him outside.
''Sorry sir, the person who has an appointment with you is currently waiting for you in front.'' said the servant told Mr. Hermawan the whereabouts of the person he was waiting for earlier.
''Tell him in.'' replied Mr. Hermawan giving the order in a polite tone.
Although Mr. Hermawan Wicaksana is a distinguished and wealthy family, his figure is very friendly to anyone. He never distinguishes a person based solely on his degree in the world.
The servant immediately went out and called the person invited by Mr. Hermawan. Not long after, the door of the room opened again and displayed the figure of a young woman who looked simple but looked very graceful and beautiful, someone she had been waiting for since. The figure is Ranum, one of the employees who also works in his company which is now being led by his own son, Agam.
Initially Ranum did not expect that this afternoon he was asked to meet directly with Mr. Hermawan whose incident they did not know directly so far. It's just that Ranum clearly knows who the figure of Mr. Hermawan who is the owner of the company where he works and also the father of an Agam, a man from his past.
Ranum really felt very surprised and confused as soon as he got the call. He wanted to refuse and ignore the meeting, but suddenly he felt as if he was small and did not have the guts to ignore the request. React only Ranum's feelings increasingly unsettled after he agreed and now he has stood in that place to meet with Mr. Hermawan in the place he had promised.
Ranum immediately entered the VIP room as soon as the restaurant waiter invited him to go inside after he had repeatedly set his breath to calm down and not panic.
And now, Ranum was so amazed when he saw Mr. Hermawan who immediately stood up from his seat and welcomed his arrival with a very friendly smile.
''Please sit down miss.'' said Mr. Hermawan invited Ranum to sit and also reached out his hand to invite Ranum to shake hands once Ranum was in front of him.
''Thank you, Mr. Hermawan.'' Ranum replied with a little stammering because he really felt very nervous at that time. He immediately grabbed the hand of Mr. Hermawan to return the handshake.
''Please sit.'' said Mr. Hermawan invite Ranum to sit on a luxurious sofa that sits facing each other and is only limited by a small marble table between them.
The two of them sat directly facing each other. While the waiter gave a menu book to Mr. Hermawan and also to Ranum.
After finishing ordering food, the waiter left Ranum and Mr. Hermawan in the VIP room.
''Before I apologized for taking time off Miss Ranum to meet with me.''
''Thank you Miss Ranum for being willing to meet my lunch invitation.'' said Mr. Hermawan began their conversation.
''No, Mr. Hermawan, I feel very happy. It is an honor for me to meet in person and even be able to ordain lunch time together with the father.'' said Ranum while guessing the intention of Mr. Hermawan invited him to meet that afternoon.
Ranum was only able to give a smile that looked clumsy and a little forced.
''Calm down, I have no other intention than this lunch.'' said Mr. Hermawan once able to read Ranum's mind.
Hearing Mr. Hermawan talk like that makes Ranum immediately smile because his mind path was read by Mr. Hermawan.
''To occasionally spend lunch time together with one of the employees who is quite komperten like you this seems to be worth a show as well. It is an honor for me to spend lunch this time with you, Ms. Ranum.'' said Mr. Hermawan.
''Thank you, Mr. Hermawan, you are too praising.'' replied Ranum with a little clumsy.
Tok.tok..
A knock on the door managed to cut off the conversation that occurred between Ranum and Mr. Hermawan.
''Enter!'' said Mr. Hermawan a little loudly so that the waiter could hear his voice.
''Sorry sir and miss we are interrupting your time for a moment.' said one of the waiters as they placed their order on the table.
''We excuse you ladies and gentlemen, enjoy our meal.' said the waiter, saying farewell after finishing serving the meal on their table.
''Thank you.'' replied Ranum and also Mr. Hermawan together.
''Let's eat the food first.'' said Mr. Hermawan invite Ranum to immediately finish the food.
''Thank you, sir.''
The two of them began to enjoy lunch together in a calm and silent atmosphere without the slightest chatter. Half an hour later they finished eating on the table.
Since Ranum's departure to that restaurant, actually in his heart he felt very curious and still surmised to know the purpose and purpose of a Wicaksana Hermawan to ask him to meet even ask him to have lunch together.
Being in a room like this with Mr. Hermawan increasingly makes Ranum feel confident there will be a serious enough chat that seems not to want to be known or heard by others about their conversation.
''Miss Ranum, there is actually something I want to ask you.'' said Mr. Hermawan in a serious tone once they finish the meal.
