Sandriana, My Lovely Sist
Part 7's. Beloved Sister
Whether where time passes, in a busy life when the seconds change minutes and the minutes change hours, it is like rolling without being able to realize it. In the office that became the heart of this giant company, time seemed not enough for Young Master. Even though the first meeting was over, the time for lunch was too late. Not only the Young Master but also his assistant line up late for lunch due to the large amount of work today.
“I will prepare your lunch, Mr...”.
Sandro will only eat out of the office when it comes to business or with his close friends. Timothy placed the tablet of his master on the large table of glass and went out from there.
Sandro took another device from his large desk, a device that was specifically used for some very personal communication. There were some calls from Miro. Sandro retrospectively, even though he was so busy he would have made a special call back for Miro.
.
“Sand, today is my birthday..”.
“I know... I've sent a gift.. “.
“No congratulations, Young Master?”
“You'll still ask for it..”
“I want to hear that from my best friend, and you won't do if I don't ask..”.
“Happy birthday.
“Young Master.. It sounds like a boss is firing his employees.”.
Miro protested with Sandro's way of talking too flat no sincerity, a word that was not intended to be conveyed.
“I said what you want to hear.. but I won't come if you make a party..”.
“So quick to anticipate, when I just want to convey..”.
“I can always move beyond what you think.”.
“Hah... arrogant this Young Master..”.
“That's one of my advantages..”
“Yes you do deserve to praise yourself.. But you are outrageous Young Master... Can't you set aside time to please this friend of yours?”
“You yourself know the time is never friendly to me. If your party in the morning, maybe I can attend it”.
“Jesus Sandro...Where is the birthday party held in the morning?”
“If you want, it depends on you right?”
"San... You can come in at ten, you no longer work at that hour... All these years we've been friends you once came to my birthday party..."
"You know I don't go out at night, I don't sleep late..."
"God San.. The pleasure of life begins at that hour..."
“Happy I get when I get enough sleep and eat well..”
“Hah... I gave up on you Sandro, in my opinion... you never enjoyed life properly..”.
“I enjoyed it my way not yours.”.
“You never attend any party, other than your own company party..”.
“It was just a waste of time..”
“Ah Young Master... Don't you need socialization, adding friends can allow your business expansion to be more open..."
"I don't need that..."
"Ah yes.I forgot who you are... "
"Tell me if the gift you don't like, I'll replace it..."
"I like your gift San, but I'd rather have your real presence..."
"Have it. Don't force it..."
"But San... Audreey invited Emma... And she already confirmed coming, didn't Emma tell you this?"
"No. Anyway Emma knows I don't like parties very much, she wouldn't expect me to be there..."
.
Sandro had closed the call, one thing Argemiro finally had to understand and tolerate about his best friend, he did not like the party let alone about the sparkling pleasures of the night world, Sandro very much avoided it.
Sandro still holds his salary and is interested to see the call history in his dress, the last date he and Emma spoke was a week ago, it was not the initiative of Emma.
“Emma doesn't need me..”.
Sandro changed his facial expression raising his two eyebrows and folding his lips, really not a relationship that is interdependent, and he also felt comfortable not being disturbed by the bustle of a romance romance.
While putting his gawai on the table, his eyes looked at his secretaries outside his room. They are either laughing at what, lately they are more joking with each other. The eyes of the Young Master auto looking for Sandriana, the girl was covering her face with the file that was in her hands. Sandro watched carefully how the men treated Dria.
“It's too late for lunch, they don't make use of the break time?”
The Young Master muttered while looking at the watch in his hand, then his eyes immediately turned back to observing Dria, finding the men were staring at Dria who was now talking with a carving smile on her sweet face.
Dria is indeed too sweet, anyone can not deny it, who is the man who is able to ignore his presence? Only the Young Master was blinding his eyes.
Before long, Barry, Gio and Hope walked together towards the elevator. The Young Master's eyes were still recording Sandriana's activities. Delfris is seen picking up a bag, standing waiting and walking side by side with Dria.
The Young Master frowned, the man later cared a lot for Sandriana, doing a lot for Sandriana even though many times Dria seemed to refuse.
Delfris's act of attaching a sling bag to Dria's shoulder, made Sandro's eyebrows more fused.
“Can't be like that..”
Timothy and an employee who was already in the room and was setting the table for the Young Master's lunch turned their heads when they heard the Young Master's muttering voice. But the clear intent of his sentence could only be heard by the Young Master's own ears.
Somehow the thing he saw made a corner in his heart not like. A little surging emotions ensued Sandro's heart in the noble room of the Darwis family business empire as he stared at Sandriana's departure with Delfris.
“Mr... Your lunch is ready..”.
The Young Master did not respond, the direction of his vision still followed his two employees who were away…
Two months have passed. Actually without realizing secretly the Young Master noticed Dria's behavior. From his own desk his eyes were often directed out of the room through thick glass observing the younger brother who was still reluctant to admit.
The girl turned out to have a good work ethic not only lounging here. The way Dria interacted with her secretaries also really attracted the attention of the Young Master, not awkward but also not being careless.
The joy of Dria also actually affects the attitude of the Young Master without her noticing, although she never really interacted with him but her attitude when looking at Dria slowly changed. No more angry looks on his face.
Long Timo waited for the Young Master to rise up from his seat of power to enjoy lunch. His eyes were in line with his Master's gaze and caught who was the point of view of the young man who controlled billions of dollars in his hands.
“Master... You become an inconsistent man.. he said he will not see Non Dria? Hundreds of times in a month..why is it still prestige to accept his own sister? What's stopping you, sir?”
Timothy was eager to convey this directly to the Young Master, a careful observation from Timo about the new habits of the Young Master.
“Sorry Sir... Your lunch is ready..”.
Timo spoke again disconnecting the Young Master's observation and daydreaming.
“Ah? Yes..”
Sandro stood up and headed towards the part in the room where the dining table was located.
“Do you no longer prepare lunch for Sandriana?”
Suddenly the Young Master asked. Timo, who was sitting in a chair about three meters from his master, raised his face, and then swiftly replied…
“Non Dria asked for permission to eat in the employee cafeteria.. I have confirmed that to the Big Master, Non Dria was given the flexibility to mingle with employees, Mr....”.
Timo explained with astonishment, Young Master first mentioned Dria by name, before Dria was just a nameless person for her Young Master, someone just mentioned with ‘the girl was’ or ‘dia’.
“That's not the right thing for Sandriana..”
“I have arranged it Sir, Delfris I assigned to serve Non Dria..”.
“That's why they're close?”
Getting an excuse about Delfris' attitude still did not make the Young Master happy or relieved.
“Stay just can't be like that, he's a guy and Sandriana's an adorable girl..”.
The Young Master monologued in fret that he was not aware of.
Silently continuing his lunch, Sandro began to think again about the papi's arrangement for Dria, the girl being given a lot of flexibility. If Sandriana comes to be his wife there is no way the papi puts Dria to work among many men.
He must admit his assistants with their performance there is a possibility that one of them fell in love with Dria or vice versa. Moreover, some of this time he saw Sandriana's relationship with Delfris a little different than the relationship with Dria with other assistants. It's a disturbing thing, out of nowhere comes suddenly another corner of the heart reminding him who Dria is for him, Sandro began to feel ownership…
“Sandriana is my beloved sister, and I will not let her hang out with just any man.
Oh... Young Master, is that it?

“Sandriana..”.
Entering the canteen area a girl greets Dria as Dria passes a table. Dria stopped and turned her head, trying to remember the face then a moment later smiling…
“Ruby... We finally meet..”.
Two months in office here, at the beginning Dria wanted to find Ruby, but she was confined to the highest floor, going in in the morning and going out from there in the afternoon or evening, and only a few days later was he free to use his time off.
Ruby stood awkwardly from her chair and walked over to Dria. Although they used to play together but face each other now after they are both adults it is different.
“How are you doing Ruby? What floor do you work on?”
“I'm good Dria... I'm in..”.
“Non Dria... Miss Sandriana..”.
Delfris fixes Ruby's greeting…
“Eh? Yes... sorry... Non Dria..”.
Ruby is getting awkward and even starting to be attacked by nervousness now, especially the men who are very popular in this office. Who is the girl who can behave normally in front of them, the man with a number of top qualities in the list of dream men is in them, especially because they are still declared single. And he just made a mistake in front of them.
Dria noticed the awkwardness of the situation immediately making a sound…
“Do not like that, Brother Del, since long I want to be called Dria only..”.
“Can't be Non Dria... That's a rule that should not be violated, that's Non Dria status here, just like Young Master..”.
“Kak Del... I won't get a friend if it's like this. After all, Ruby my friend, since the baby until the age of thirteen we both live in a big house.”.
“But Non Dria..”
“Good brother, I get it.. That's the rule, but Ruby as an exception huh?”
Sandriana smiled extending her hand. Ruby hesitated but eventually received Sandriana's handshake with her head bowed once.
“I'm asking for your phone number, Ruby..”.
“Eh.. Yes Non... My number is 081....”.
Dria quickly entered the number Ruby mentioned on her phone, then made a call. Ruby's string reads…
“That's my number... saved yes?”
“Eh.. good Non Dria..”.
“Do not hesitate Ruby, Dria only.. as before. I will take lunch and return to your table, I want to chat with you.”.
Ruby just nodded, unable to choose how to greet Sandriana. While Dria is between happy and sad to understand the reality that she is not as free as before to socialize it makes her sad among the excitement that arises finally being able to meet someone she knows. He needs a girlfriend too.
Done taking the menu he wanted…
“Kak Del... I sat down with Ruby yes, you guys are looking for a different table, I want to be more free to talk to my friend..
“Alright Non... we are around Non Dria, if need something..”.
“Kak... let me handle my needs from now on.. Treat me more normally, okay?”
Finally, the first protest sentence was mentioned by Dria to Delfris, so far the man has always served a lot of things for him, except making coffee.
Delfris did not reply but followed Dria from behind and occupied a table just off Dria.
“Ruby... You are done?”
Dria came up with a smile, two of Ruby's female friends immediately stood up to move to the other table. Dria scrunched her forehead, the two employees were not finished with their lunch plates. Though Dria wants to say hello to them too, wants to enter the group of girls in this office.
Dria then realized that she was entering and working here with the status already pinned on her, a Young Miss. ah she did not want this.
“I'm done Non Dria..”
Ruby replied with a clumsy smile.
“Ruby, I asked you earlier, just call me Dria..”.
“Eh.. well, Dria..”.
Dria smiled in hopes of re-establishing a proper friendship with Ruby, just like when she was in S city, she had many friends there.
“I've wanted to find you since I was here, ma'am Lia told you employees are here.. But employees there are thousands of people, and I'm on the top floor in this building.”.
"I've seen Dria since the beginning.”.
“Oh? I'm sorry I didn't notice, but why didn't you greet me, or call me like I was.”.
Sandriana complains inwardly, at the beginning of work she doesn't really feel much, but after a few days of mingling down here, the dislike gazes of the girls when she first ate here, she said, then quickly changing their respectful gazes plus the attitude of those who always nodded their heads, Dria realized she had been placed in a high place in the social pyramid in this building.
“Since the beginning has been told, Young Master's sister will come to work in this office, so I am unlikely to approach Dria..”.
“Why?”
“Eh... because we have to respect the status of Dria as one of the children of the family of the owner of this company..”.
Dria pursed her lips in repulsion and was unable to accept what Ruby said. But he knew in vain he denied that, all the things he had gone through since the first second in this great city were the confirming realities about his change in status, he said, no longer the son of Rahmadi a small businessman in the city of S.
The kid in the Dervish family? It was still awkward for his heart to acknowledge his standing. There is no official statement from Mr. Harlandy about this, nor does Dria ever know of any juridical ties about Dria being adopted as the daughter of the Dervish family.
“Ruby... I want to ask you something..”.
“What?”
“Can not...don't make distance, I want to be treated like you treat your friends in this office..”.
“But Dria..”.
“Here...only you know me better than everyone else..I hope we can be friends again like we used to be.”.
Dria stared expectantly. Dria exhales even though with that discomfort in the heart does not get wasted and away. The reality of her completely changed life begins to put pressure on Dria, this is not the life she planned or wanted.
