Sun Princess & Snow Prince
Episode 45 - Outrageous Jokes

~ The ignorant are born from good people who are always colonized (Zaid) ~

"Well done, Ve! Thank you for keeping our idols!" said Rose.

If he did not see the look on his face, those words must have sounded sincere. But for Ave, that sentence is satire. Rose's smile was more like the person holding back amusedly. Moreover, Rose had just heard Alina's story. Not only he, Jack, Mike, Teddy, Rizal, Gita and even Mr. Bambang also know.

"Quiet, Ros. There are still many ways for us to go to the heart of Mr. Zaid if only nyaingin Ave. Pretty, but**** and bada. Ha ha ha," cried Alina not to lose. Wajhanya so sumringah. If you don't know, maybe people will think he's Zaid's lover.

Jack who was sitting next to Ave was intrigued to ask, "Lu use the shaman anyway, Ve? I can follow his services, right? If Mr Zaid can be paralyzed, let alone the model next to you? Ha ha ha!"

"Okaya if you dare to blow me! My shit is ama elo, Jack!" sahut Alina's. But still he laughed while glancing at Ave.

Ave's lips went two inches. Even though he had pretended to be a goat congek who did not hear all the insinuations and jokes around him, he still felt annoyed. Ave's two hands clenched, holding back the upset. Even Mr. Bambang could throw a joke. "Beautiful daughter of Avelia, don't forget to prepare a weekly report! He he he!"

All because of Mr. The Snowy Devil. Anyway, it must be answered! Got to! Got to!

Before long the entire Creative team had to gather in a large meeting room. As usual, in this weekly meeting led directly by Zaid and attended by several Directors.

Because he was still upset about being bullied since morning, Ave chose not to talk much. Fortunately as soon as he entered, Zaid and his secretary and assistant also entered the room. Then his friends did not have time to tease him anymore.

Hazmi leads the meeting, and starts giving briefings for some advertising projects that must be done immediately. Some that have been completed and are being worked on, are also reported globally by Mr. Bambang, before finally deciding on another meeting schedule as a follow-up to each project.

In this meeting, Ave did not contribute much. He has just submitted one of the proposals and is still awaiting a decision. Because the project was large, Ave was asked to wait. If The Crown wins it, then Ave will have to concentrate on that project alone. Unlike the rest of his team, Ave is still very new to the advertising world. That's why, according to company regulations, Ave can only hold one project at a time for three months of probation.

Therefore, after an hour or so, Ave began to lose interest in listening. Even his mind went everywhere. Busy looking for ways to get back at Zaid.

Snooze and not go home together? Not likely. Ave doesn't want to be a sardine on the busway just to get back to Zaid's house. He will also not be willing to reduce the balance of the application just to order an online motorcycle taxi. As long as there is a free ride, why waste money?

Definitely not an effective way of snoring.

Cooking and adding laxatives? Nope, no. Zaid has a digestive disease that when ordinary has made him suffer. Ave ain't that bad.

While Ave was immersed in his own thoughts, the meeting began to enter the final stage. However, before Hazmi ends it, Jenny raises her hand.

"Oh yes, I want to tell you about the advertising project that was done by Team 2, that from our client there is official information that I just got this morning."

All eyes looked at Jenny, waiting for an answer, except for Ave who was holding her face, staring out the window. Ave's engrossed style of daydreaming did not escape the attention of Zaid. The girl really has a different world than anyone else.

"... We succeeded! The Crown got that ad contract for two years! We've defeated GE!" jenny could not hide her joy. He knew this was Ave's first project, and he was very happy that Ave had it done. His doubts over Zaid's decision vanished already.

"Waaaah! Congratulations to Team 2!"

"Alhamdulillah!"

"Thank God!"

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

Cheers and applause broke the silence of the meeting room, also breaking Ave's daydream. With a puzzled face, he asked Jack who was sitting next to him. "What's up, Mom? Who wants to marry?"

Jack looked at Ave speechless, "Have you just returned? That's loh, our project's a goal! Who is even married to? Do you really want to marry Mr Zaid?!" jack's nagging with a voice that only Ave could hear.

"Iiissh, it's just a nanya kali!" Then with a carefree face, Ave also clapped no less happy hands.

Mr. Bambang raised his hand, asking for his turn to speak. Everyone is silent. "OK, okay! Look, Mr. Zaid. I, as the Manager of Creative, want to represent my friends to beg for something. Since this last quarter all the projects we worked on were always approved at almost 85%, then.... as an added bonus, can we get a special holiday gift, sir?"

"Yes, Sir! Gathering. Take us to one department!" mike Sahut.

"Rubber, Mr. Zaid. So we feel refreshed, so we can be more creative. Really, Teammates?" This time, Alina's voice was heard.

"Knol!"

Zaid nodded. He looked around and ended up staring at Ave who was nodding expectantly. For a moment the girl forgot her revenge.

"Is there a holiday idea you want?" ask Zaid.

Then the voices of each other scrambled to launch their idea. Some ask to go to the beach, camping in the mountains, staying at a resort, playing in the playground rides as much as possible, swimming in water park rides and others.

"Good! You deserve that vacation. I had planned it. But before that... " Zaid pointed at Ave. "Ve, can I get you some water?"

Everyone stared at the glass filled with water in front of Zaid, including Ave.

"... the cold one!" continue Zaid when he realizes his mistake. Seen a bated smile on everyone's lips, except Ave with curvy lips, could only nod.

After Ave came out, Zaid said again, "Before we decide what kind of vacation you get. We agreed on one thing. You can make your own decisions between all your ideas or not, if Ave can answer my questions."

"Kok Ave anyway, sir? We'll answer!" exclaimed Alina with a spoiled tone but full of worry.

Zaid looked at Alina softly. "I decided on Ave because he designed the storyboard plot of the project that we won this time. Clear?"

"But we can choose the question yes, sir?" jenny asked, making everyone smile again. Didn't expect that Jenny was so excited about going on vacation.

Zaid nodded his head and just then Ave reentered with a glass filled with ice water. Water with very solid ice. Hurrying, the girl placed the glass in front of Zaid before he sat down. I can't wait to know what holiday they're going to have.

But Zaid looked at him with a flat face. It was clear that there was something he was planning. Ave's heart was pounding a little.

"Ve, I'll ask you a question, and if you can answer it correctly, then everyone in this room will get a free vacation that you can decide for yourself, anywhere you can enjoy on a two-day weekend. Of course with a certain budget. You can?"

Ave looked around worriedly. "But it's not hard, is it, sir?"

Zaid shook his head, then he whispered with Jenny for a moment. After a few minutes, Jenny pointed at something.

"It's so easy, Ve!" jenny was sure. Ave nodded too.

Zaid nodded in agreement with Jenny and the girl began to read her questions. "A man gives seven million rupiah to his future wife to buy wedding supplies. One million for make up and rent bridal clothes, one million five hundred for catering, five hundred thousand for stage and underwriting, five hundred thousand for organ hire, and five hundred thousand for organ hire, two hundred thousand for the uniform rental of ayu fence, two hundred thousand to buy the delivery of a bride. So how much money is left on the wife-to-be?"

But wait a minute! Why is this the marriage issue being discussed? Why is the question so easy? There is no way a stingy and cold human like Snowy Devil can give a question that SD children can do like this, Ave thought again. He began to doubt.

With a suspicious look, Ave narrowed her eyes before asking, "Ave can do it before answering, Sir?"

Zaid nodded.

"How many invitations are there, sir?" ask Ave. Everyone looked in incomprehension. Even Zaid himself was confused to hear it.

Jenny started to worry. "It's nothing to do with it, Ve. You just reduce it from the information just keep the rest it just diinfo."

Ave looked at Jenny. "Can't, Ma'am. This is a serious question. If the number of invitations does not match the number of catering, then the budget will also not be enough. Entar Ave answered so, uh the invitation is mostly kept money even not how? Now only one plate at least thirty thousand. 500 Times, you know how many?"

"Javab, Ve! Seven million less than that" Hazmi said impatiently.

"So what's your answer, Ve?" ask Zaid again. He began to have trouble holding his own laughter.

Ave could see everyone looked impatient. But he knew Zaid better, with a million senses. Ave had many times the consequences. Especially this, regarding the interests of his friends. He cannot act recklessly, must be thought of as best as possible.

After all, what did this man mean to ask a question about marriage? Is this stingy counting the funds for their wedding? Did Zaid think Ave could accept that amount of money for their wedding? Papa can go berserk if his only daughter just marries modestly. Even Ave himself had long wanted to plan to become the perfect Queen the day he got married. How could seven million dollars possibly make it happen?!?

"Well, Ve?" ask Zaid again. Ave nodded steadily before he stood up.

"Kalo Ave the answer. return the money or ask again. Where there is today only seven million capital married people! Want to get married, but not enough money. Realistically, Ave will not want to," replied Avelia firmly.

Everyone fell silent, staring at Ave in disbelief. Then almost in unison all leaned lethargic in their respective seats. Jack ruffled his hair, Alina tried hard not to pat Ave on the back of the head, Jenny's mouth opened involuntarily, Hazmi could only sigh, Rose and Mike stared at each other sadly. Pak Bambang's shoulders slumped. The rest could not hide the disappointment on their faces.

Only one person clapped his hands and smiled widely. Zayd.

"Good! Very nice! Very convincing answer! Ha ha ha ha!" exclaim Zaid happy.

Ave stared cluelessly at everyone, before Alina finally pinched him, making Ave turn to him. "You're still upset, wasn't I ledekin? So the bales are like this? Accidentally wrong so we don't have a vacation?" scowl the girl with pouting lips.

Ave who had sat back was confused. But he began to understand when one by one his friends stood up from the chair, looking disappointed and looking sad. It means he answered wrongly. This is an ordinary question that should be answered in the usual way. Ave immediately wanted to cry. He misjudged the question. He should have answered according to the answer he should have. Not like that.

"You don't want to decide where we're going to end up going?" ask Zaid casually.

Everyone's steps and movements came to a halt, looking back at their boss who was looking at them with a curious look. Seems so serious.

"I mean, Sir?" jenny asked trying to clarify.

"I'm just kidding" Zaid said. Those words made everyone gulp with spinning eyes. What kind of joke is this?

"So we're really on vacation, sir?" alina asked who was approaching the meeting table. Chief Zaid nodded.

"O Allah, Thank God!"

"Ha ha ha ha! Funny joke, sir! Really funny!" jack said with a strange laugh. It looks really fake. He must still be upset.

Rose took a breath. "Good gosh, sir! I just want to make sure that Ave is tutoring Maths Elementary School kids!"

Ave's heart, which was pounding with guilt, began to return to normal. But he looked at Zaid with a hostile look. Today, Zaid not only embarrassed him, but also made him almost hated by all of his fellow departments. Holding back the emotions in her heart, Ave scooped up all her documents and laptops, leaving the meeting room still filled with excitement.

Seeing Ave come out without saying goodbye with a crimson face, the smile on Zaid's face vanished. He knew this time it was absolutely outrageous. Hurriedly Zaid stood up, chasing after his lover, making the entire room also speechless.

Just before he came out, Zaid turned. "You decide on that vacation, I have to... " Zaid doesn't know what to say but to point Ave out, but Hazmi pats him on the shoulder, understands Zaid's intentions and lets him catch up with Ave.

A meaningful smile is seen on the face of everyone in the meeting room. Needless to say, they understood. Also Alina, Rose and Gita, as well as the other girls who are from other teams.

While Ave was already sitting in his chair, surprised when Zaid caught up with him. Without saying anything, the man pulled Ave's hand and for a moment the man himself was confused, before finally pulling Ave towards the pantry room. Then with his other hand, he locked the room.

"Anged?" asked Zaid with a thin grin.

Ave did not reply, only stomping his hand to escape. But Zaid tightened his grip. "Isn't that angry? You often get me more than this."

"Well, who's angry? The boss is free to say anything. Rumbles people take cold water a bucket of cake, drink coffee a bunch of cake, want to mutusin what holiday not. BEBAASS!" said Ave loudly with a tone full of satire.

"You're this... You don't know Ve, if that prankster was born from a good guy who was always being colonized? How many times have you tried me?" asked Zaid while looking at Ave softly.

Ave does often prank Zaid. Unable to answer, he just looked down. In fact, the moment Zaid caught up with him, his anger had already disappeared. Ave couldn't resist being angry for long. Especially for a man he knew he wasn't used to persuading people like Zaid. But he does not want to be considered too easy to forgive.

"It has. We're better! Don't sulk anymore! Or I'll forget to tell you the news that Jenny never delivered."

"What news?"

"Do you know why Jack and Mike were so happy when they found out your project was working?" ask Zaid.

Ave shakes.

"That's because your team is only three when working on it. Usually more than 5 people. Well, did you know that all successful projects always incentivize bonuses?"

Ave knows about that. But he did not expect that he would also get it, even though it was still on probation. As the project progressed, almost everyone helped him. They were not listed as members of his team, but all helped him whenever he was in trouble. They knew and understood very well, Ave had never done such things. So, Ave is already quite happy, his project could be a reason for everyone to get a vacation out of plan.

"Your team just needs to split the incentive for three people. You know what that means, Ve?"

Ave's eyes shone brightly, her smile cracking. "Ave a bonus? Means that... " Ave was counting fast the amount of incentive he knew with his fingers beginning to tremble, and he almost screamed as he stared at the number of fingers on his hand. "Wuaaaah! Mas... Mas... This is real, right? This really? Ave wasn't a dream, was he?"

Seeing the excitement on Ave's face, Zaid could only nod his head reassuringly.

"Asshiiiik! My Little Kingdom!!! My wedding!!! Asiii!!!" ave shouted while jumping around happily, forgetting that there was still Zaid nearby.

Zaid's smile was still left. But hearing Ave's words, he looked at the girl clueless. So is everything that prevents their marriage actually just because of money? Does Avelia not know, if she agrees with Zaid's proposal, then Zaid will be willing to give it all to this stupid girl?
