Soulmate (Nathan Tita)
Chapter 2
The black Aston Martin splits the highway. Ariana Grande - Stuck with you voiceover, accompanying the pace of their car. In the car Tita and Loudy sang the song cheerfully. "Ta, you don't want to have a boyfriend?" same question for the umpteenth time. Because until now, the lady had never seen Tita have a boyfriend even close to a man.
"Duh, you know. Where there is time I make a date. And you, don't date just let me run college."
The lady laughed crisply, getting such an answer from her sometimes wise friend. No pain or anything. The lady simply responded, "You know what my brain capacity is like, what matters is that I move on..."
"You're just saying I do, if you need help."
"Yeah, I know... but you know what? do not just show your kindness to others, yes. I'm afraid you'll be used."
"Lha, do I have anything until people want to benefit me," Tita humbled, suddenly her insecurities appeared.
"You're too kind, too innocent, and easy to pity people. I'm worried, how about your new office, I'm not there either." the lady who has the snacking soul started to worry about her friend, or maybe the instincts because she doesn't have a sister.
"Udah. just relax, I want to work if you are bothered, ha ha ha."
"Ta, I said my sister, let you work in my sister's office."
"Lou, when I get my first paycheck, what do I want to buy?" Tita preferred not to discuss her non-existent idea, so she switched the conversation.
"Oh yes, what yaaaa. duh, it's up to you that is important delicious. I like to be confused if asked that, ha ha ha..."
Until they arrived at the parking lot of Loudy faculty, because indeed the students were no lecture activities, then the faculty was quite flexible. They went to the student section, "Ta, just wait on the bench, I fill the KRS first." pointing to the bench in the middle of the park.
"okay."
Tita opens her smartphone, looks at the latest Korean drama to watch later tonight. When he was busy with his activities, suddenly a man approached his stool.
"Tita, how is it on campus?" Mike, Tita's friend in one department, who's been putting his heart on the girl since semester 2. However, never once did the dipper get together.
Tita smiled to see who was coming. "Mickey, what a coincidence we met here. What is your business here?"
Mike, always thought 'mickey' was Tita's favorite calling for her. And indeed only Tita called him that name. "I've met the kids, discussed our majors farewell.You're the same who Ta?"
"Sama Loudy, he's going to college. So where's the plan going to be?"
"Not final, because there are still some considerations. Like you, who got a job straight away. When did Ta start?"
"Monday I started reporting, maybe you'll find a contract or a boarding house."
"Do you want me to go, Ta? That's my area of the house." Just try it first, not wrong. Mike.
"Well, I don't know the area either. I'll tell you later, Mike."
As they were chatting, Loudy approached. "Ta, yuk pull it off. Mike we go first." Loudy pamit's.
"Okay, Ta, I'll call ya..."
Tita smiled, and left Mickey unceasingly staring at her. The two girls walked towards the parking lot. Since it was still daytime, and they were not busy, the lady gave an idea to survey the location of Tita's workplace. Departing them to work Tita, Mirae Construction, which is engaged in design and construction, is one company that is quite calculated performance and has worked with many large companies. There is pride, when Tita got the opportunity to join the design team at this company, because the design at the time of the final task made the CEO in this company fall in love and happened to match the projects that he would follow at that time. A fresh and unique design makes anyone who sees must know that the design has special characteristics without reducing the beauty of the end result.
"Ta, you know who has this office?" the lady's question is sometimes unfaithful to Tita. And Tita just shrugged both of her shoulders. "Keep, what's the first day we're gonna get here?"
"Don't worry, ojol a lot."
"Aren't you looking for a contract?"
"Tomorrow, I promised Mickey, he wanted to go. I'll just report tomorrow anyway. Just started work early in the month, he said."
On the way, Tita gets a message from one of her best friends, "Lou, Andin is meeting."
"Where?" the answer.
"Club' 8, tonight."
"Well, it's so good, I want to come, too,"
"Yes, it's been,"
"But I can't, hiks. I have to finish the paper." the young lady whined.
"Yes, it's okay. We can go sometime, too..."

The day went by evening, but the man who holds the highest power Petra Corporate did not want to move from his chair. His gray eyes framed with square glasses that further reinforce the structure of his face, still checking each sheet projects his cooperation with Mirae Construction for the construction of art galleries in the city of B. He was staring at the design of the art gallery building when the door of his room was knocked. Tok. And without turning his eyes away, the master allowed those outside to enter.
"Sir, do you want to go home or have dinner first?" Brian reminded the master.
"Brian, when are we meeting with Mirae?"
"3 Weeks, sir."
"Put forward next week."
"Okay, I'll call them. What time are you coming home?"
"half an hour."
The secretary bowed respectfully then left the master's room. He checked the master's schedule, sought the contacts of Mirae Contruction's secretary, changed the schedule, informed them that the meeting was being scheduled at the request of the master. And just as everything was done, the master walked out of his room. "Please, sir."
"Brian, let's go where Thomas used to be."
Departure them to club' belongs to Thomas, club' 8, there are already friends Nathan who is always beside him at every moment of Nathan's life, including Brian. Arriving at the club', he headed straight for the table where his friends were gathered, a lounge upstairs. Thomas, who was holding a woman in a material-deficient outfit, Axel who was just sitting leaning back, and Rega who was cool with his girlfriend.
Huh, Nathan and Brian sighed almost simultaneously seeing the behavior of his friends. "ehm," Nathan sat on an empty sofa and Brian immediately gave a can of soda to the master. In fact, Nathan doesn't really like this kind of place, because it shows that women are just hungry for money and will do anything for money.
"Nath, would you like to be won?" Thomas opened the conversation.
"No, thank you." she replied.
Nathan, Brian, Thomas, and Axel were having a small talk while his ears caught a melodious sound from the stage. Nathan looked at the woman, she was wearing a baby pink tank top and black skinny jeans. Nathan only caught a glimpse of it, and continued his activities with his friends. However, Nathan felt disturbed as the woman reached the temple,
Oh, baby, look what you started
Is this gonna happen?
Been waiting for you
To make a move
(Woo, ooh, ooh)
Before I make a move
(Woo, ooh, ooh)
So baby, come light me up
And maybe I'll let you on it
A little bit dangerous,
But baby, that's how I want it
A little less conversation, and
A little more touch my body
'Cause I'm so into you
Into you
Into you
(into you - Ariana Grande)
Either because of the meaning of the song, or the voice of the woman who sang it in a very sexy voice. Sexy? wow, what kind of thought is that. But, managed to make Nathan continue to pay attention to the woman until she finished the song and get a standing ovation from the visitors, not least the people at Nathan's desk. And unexpectedly the master said, "Thom, who is he?"
"Only visitors," Thomas already knew who Nathan meant, because he noticed Nathan looking up at the stage as they chatted. And that, really isn't Nathan's custom.
"Brian," the master turned to the secretary. "I'll look for the information sir." Like it's been programmed to always know what the master wants. Brian knew exactly what to do.
He went down, to the woman's table. However, not until the place he went to he saw the woman walking out with a man. Brian tried to get closer, but lost quickly because a moment later it was seen the target had darted with his car.
"I'm sorry, sir, he's gone."
"Well, I can do it" Nathan was confused, because for the club's connoisseurs this hour was still afternoon. And the three friends were more strange with his attitude this time, the secretary so failed to make the master satisfied with his performance. "Do I need to find out, sir?"
"Oh, no need." Nathan let out a sigh, he realized that in the release just now. It might just be an ordinary curiosity, as he recalled the memories of his past. And he knows he must never look back, must focus forward, achieve success again and again. At the age of 30 years, not just once twice he heard the song of the mother of women and marriage. And at the very end the mother will pity upon hearing the same answer from the child, and words come out, I want in the rest of my life to hear the babbling of the little boy in this desolate mansion, then the master will answer, should I take it in the parlour? and then he'll get a punch on his shoulder.
Weddings. For the master it can only be done by two people who love each other, and promise to live a life. And for him who was once made disappointed and shattered by the belief in love at the same time, it was hard to get that sense again. It's not that she never tried, it's just that when a woman who would become her date was present, it was, he only saw the woman doing it solely to be able to get the money and luxury that was already attached to him. And can be imagined next, the secretary is the one who has to clean up the rest of his date.
*****
Sunday morning at the mansion. The master just came out of his room, when passing through his room he heard two girls laughing from inside the room. He stopped his steps and wanted to open the door, but stopped and chose to continue his steps towards the dining room.
In the dining room, the mother was arranging food at the table, assisted by bi Amel. "Mami's face," she kissed the mother's cheek. "Bi Amel's face" she said with a friendly face, because she knew that Amel was her mother's best friend since she was young.
"Good morning young master," replied bi Amel.
"What breakfast do you want, baby?" ask the mother, holding a plate, to serve the dear child.
"Nasi goreng mi. Mommy, is anyone staying?"
The mother who was taking the fried rice looked at her son. "Oh, yes.. Loudy was working on the task of helping his friend." while handing the plate to his son.
"If you have a wife, ..."
"Mommy, I want to have breakfast quietly, okay?"
"Yes, yes, finish your breakfast." the mother ate her breakfast in silence.
From the living room came footsteps, and the secretary was now in front of them. Mami looked at her son, as if asking where he was going?
"I have an appointment Mi, maybe I'll go home in the afternoon."
The mother understood and told the secretary to have breakfast as well. "Sorry, my mistress has breakfast at home."
Loudy who had finished bathing, stood in front of the mirror while drying her hair. While Tita was standing on the balcony of the room looking towards the garden filled with colorful flowers. While enjoying the beautiful flowers, his eyes saw two men walking towards the car. One opened the car door for one man with wide, strapping shoulders. Really, Tita admired that broad and strapping shoulder. It looks good too when hugged, hi hi hi hi.
"Ta, ..." call Loudy.
And Tita passed from the balcony, into the room. "Yes,"
"Today, what are you doing?" asked the lady, still with her hair drying activities.
"You're asleep,"
"Oh my goodness, it's Sunday, the time of sleep. Just go yuk."
"Mager, uh." Then he remembered something, and he asked Loudy, the lady. "Lou, your brother's Sunday like this work too?"
"Well, where did you see my sister?"
"So I saw from the balcony, like it was your brother who was just as cool out."
"Ah, at least meet her friends." the lady was ready with her hair, stepped into the locker room. "Oh yeah, you've never met my sister, have you?"
"Yet, why?"
"You want me to matchangin no, ha ha ha..."
"Relieve it!"
And the lady came out of the room at once when she heard her friend's answer. "Hey, why? my sister is a high quality single knows.." the sister who loves her brother so much does not accept if anyone rejects her brother.
