Vita sat down quietly in front of Aji after the CEO's secretary asked him to go to her room.
“Explain to me why did Syadira resign without telling me? What reason? You must know,” pinta Aji so that Vita is honest with him.
Vita began to tell about Aji's father who asked Syadira to face him at that time. There Syadira was forced to sign a letter of resignation on the grounds that Syadira's contract was not extended again. In fact, obviously during these 2 years, Syadira never did anything wrong, even late to the office never. Supposedly, Syadira still has the right to 1 year of work according to the employment contract regulations. Vita also says that Syadira should not say this to Aji at the request of her father.
Aji's face blushed hearing Vita's story.
“But, sir, I'm afraid if anyone finds out that I told Mr. Aji about this,” said Vita fearing Aji's father would do the same to her.
Aji calms Vita that nothing will happen to her.
“That's the reason why Syadira started looking for a new job this month,” added Vita.
“Thank you Vit for your honesty, you can go back to work,” said Aji let Vita back.
“Sorry, Sir. There is something I have to say again, message Syadira,” continued Vita who has not moved from her seat.
“What's up, Vit, please talk,” pinta Aji who is curious about what Syadira will say.
Vita explained the news of the embezzlement that was happening, about Syadira's suspicions that were fixed on a senior male employee he saw at the office stop at the time and the reason. Initially, Syadira did not want to bother with the events he saw at the stop. However, his suspicions grew stronger when Syadira saw the male employee appear to be operating the computer belonging to the division head, at the time of the office, secretly.
“At that time Syadira and I were overtime because asked by Mr. Yogi to help prepare the files that will be shared with meeting participants the next day. Incidentally, it was because it was night, I tidied up my desk, sir, while Syadira was still on the 4th floor, on the floor of the finance division, to take a copy of the files left behind,” explained Vita added.
Vita also asks Aji to secretly check the cctv at the time of the incident to make it accurate evidence.
Aji was speechless hearing Vita's testimony. “Then why Syadira did not say directly. When did it happen?”
“Day Thursday last week, Sir. That's when Mr. Aji wanted to drive Syadira home, but he said he was overtime. Actually, after that Syadira wants to talk to Mr. Aji, but he seems to forget because..”.
“For what, Vit?” Aji cut Vita's words.
Vita deliberately said the honesty about Syadira's feelings for Aji, as well as his friend's sadness because of Aji and Syadira's contract relationship that must end, plus the resignation of Syadira which means, they will never meet again. “Oh, yes, Sir. Syadira also sends greetings to Mr. Aji.”

“New residents yes, Mbak?” greet one of the neighboring women in Syadira's room.
Syadira smiled. “Iya, Mbak.”
Syadira, who was talking to her roommate, was surprised by Aji's arrival. Syadira stared at Aji long enough, fearing that Aji would find out about his resignation. Aji walking neghampiri Syadira.
“Mas Aji? What's up?” ask Syadira slowly.
Aji rubbed Syadira's cheek gently. “Why didn't you tell me?”
“Mas Aji why are you here? We should not have met. Mas Aji must keep his promise Selena loh,” continued Syadira.
“Ngak, Dir. You did all that because of my request, I promised myself to guarantee your work would be fine. I can't see you being treated like this,” said Aji, who wants his former contract lover to return to his office.
Syadira asks Aji not to think about it. He also asks Aji not to see him again for fear that Aji's father will get angry. Aji's father's gaze when they attend Bella's wedding, enough to make her understand Aji's father's dislike of her.
“Ngak, Dir. This can't be allowed. No one can stop us from meeting, including Dad. I promise I will settle all this,” Aji promised Syadira while saying goodbye home. Aji couldn't bear to protest to her father about this. Aji rushed home to see his father.
The prevention carried out by Syadira was not able to dispel Aji's determination. On the one hand, Syadira is worried about what Aji's father will do after Aji finds out everything. This felt like the consequences he had imagined before.

There is no greeting, Aji immediately protested the actions of the father. “What did you do to Syadira? He did everything on Aji's desire, why would Dad stop his work contract?”
“What are you talking about, Ji?” elak Aji's father. “Who terminated his contract, he himself who resigned.”
“Don't you think Aji is stupid huh, Dad. Syadira will not be able to resign on his own. There's Dad's pressure behind this!” Aji was really disappointed in Dad.
“You really like that girl? I thought that your contract relationship was just an excuse, because the truth is that you like it,” accuse Aji's father of seeing no fabrication in his son's relationship.
“If it is so why? At first, Aji just wanted Syadira to be a pretend lover. But getting here, Aji likes everything he has, his simplicity, his sincerity, his character, which Aji has never met in any woman, and I won't understand anything about it!” Aji was trying to fight for her choice.
“Ji, already! Trusting the Father. You will not regret if you follow Dad's will and someday you will understand the purpose of Father,” replied Aji's father who remained tight-lipped on his stance.
Aji's father continues to convince Aji that it's all for her good. He did not want to if Aji had a relationship with a woman like Syadira. Aji never once wanted to understand the purpose and purpose of the father's actions.
“Best according to Aji, or according to Dad? Aji can decide for herself which is best for Aji herself, not Dad!” Aji is getting out of control.
Aji also brought up the past, that all this time he lived only following the will of the father, from education and work. Never once did he have the freedom to choose. However, for this one thing Aji wanted to make his own choice.
The debate between father and son, made the grandfather interfere in their fierce conversation.
“Always argue, son and father who never get along. You and Aji are just like you and dad, Yo,” said Aji's grandfather who came out of his room.
Aji's father tells all the stories of Aji and Syadira's relationship. Unfortunately, Aji's grandfather actually supports his grandson. “Why is this business you interfered with, Yo? Feelings so far you never forbid Aji want to be in a relationship with anyone.”
"During this time Aji's choice was always right, Dad. So Haryo never had a problem with it. But this one, this woman is a nobody, nor is the child of an honorable parent. His family is not clear!" assertively Aji's father defended his opinion.
Aji defends Syadira by refuting his father's opinion if Syadira's family is unclear. Aji also explained to the grandfather of Syadira's performance in the office, as well as his manners and politeness. Not to forget, Aji tells a little about the struggle of Syadira's life with his sister and grandmother.
"Didn't a woman like her have a good personality? Not everything has to be measured by material and equality. Not everyone is lucky to be born into a wealthy family! When compared with Bella and Selena, Syadira's life is not as lucky as they are, but Syadira's nature is much better and classy than the 2 women who I uploaded it!" Aji ended his conversation and left the house.
