"What kind of report is this?" maki Vano threw a sheet by sheet containing financial statements for one month. "You guys don't work? I'd rather give the opportunity to someone else who's more competent than the company paying slackers like you."
"Please give one more chance, we will fix it immediately" said one of the people who served as head of finance.
Vano simply replied with a glint of sharp eyes, his mind completely muddled. Why should the problems in the office come now? It was a nightmare for them.
"You, how long have you been working here?" ask Vano to someone else.
"I'm, five years, sir."
"Five years? As long as it's a company that pays people like you?" Vano got angrier when checking marketing reports whose charts plummeted from the previous month.
"Sir, this year there is COVID, so the market demand about occupancy is declining. Because market research is also...."
"I don't accept any excuses. It's your job, don't ask me to teach you like a kindergarten kid just learning to write!"
The clock seemed to be spinning very slowly than usual, the reports they were working on were none of them were in line with Vano's expectations.
"You're all out, don't ever set foot in here if you just want to piss me off."
"Good, Sir." The two men immediately left with a thousand steps. If it knew their CEO was in a bad mood it would definitely not come into the room. They woke up the sleeping tiger.
Arlan stopped his steps in front of the door of Vano's room, he wanted to tell her something important. But since coming home from the hospital, his mood has been really bad. He vented his anger on all the employees who came to his office. No exception to him, even though there is currently important information about his cooperation with the Adijaya Company.
Arlan was aghast when the door suddenly opened from the inside, she shifted to the left to give way to Vano, but they shifted together. Arlan shifted to the right, Vano followed him by accident. Vano was unable to hide his sense of regret towards Arlan who continued to block the path.
"Arlan, you intentionally?"
"Hikk, the fate of being a subordinate is always to blame," said Arlan averted his eyes.
"Who are you talking to, huh? Obviously I'm in front of you" exclaimed Vano, one hand hiding in a pants pocket.
"Of course with you, Mr. Director," Arlan said. He must deliver news about the submission of cooperation Adijaya Company. However, Vano again breezed leaving Arlan in a state of annoyance.
"There's something interesting I want to say." Arlan blocked Vano's arm.
"Tomorrow, I'm tired." Vano brushed off Arlan's hand, again continuing his steps.
"You sure? It's about the Adijaya Company." Arlan forgot about the superiors and subordinates, after all now there were only the two of them.
Arlan's words stop Vano's steps, he recalls the name Adijaya, a name that is no stranger to the sense of hearing.
"Yes, if you're not interested, it's better...."
"We're talking inside." Vano turned around, returning to the room with Arlan trailing behind him.
"The Adijaya Company is proposing cooperation..," explained Arlan. He offered the cooperation proposal he brought. It turned out that the company was short of funds for the development project that was being handled.
"You can take advantage of this opportunity to urge Riko. That way, wouldn't it all be easier?" Vano clasped his hands together on the table, which was exactly what Arlan said. "One more thing, you just have to sit down, shut up and accept the result."
"All right, just set my schedule. Faster is better." Vano grinned, he indeed had to urge Fay to no longer have any reason to refuse.
"He was not interested" muttered Arlan with a throbbing mouth.
"I never said that" said Vano, he still heard Arlan's words even though it was just a murmur.
In addition, the Adijaya Company will be under his control, the easier it is to supervise Riko on behalf of the family. Haha... What a brilliant idea.
"One more, from the information our men gave us. Second uncle found the culprit who hurt him. From the estimate, the perpetrator has a grudge against the second uncle," said Arlan. "Do we need to act?"
"Leave it, just keep an eye on them. If there's even the slightest thing report it to me."
"Well," said Arlan briefly. Actually there is still one important thing to say, but he does not know if now is the right time or not.
"What else is it?"
"Emmm... Next week's Al's birthday."
Vano immediately raised his hand, he was in no mood to talk about his family. "Enough, Lan. Don't talk about him anymore."
"When to avoid?"
"Until I'm really ready."
Silent.
Arlan preferred to be quiet and not continue their discussion. Vano has the right to determine his life, he can only remind and can not force him to do as he wants, especially his age two years older. Arlan only needs to watch over him as per Arga's request.
"What's my next schedule?" vano asked breaking the silence.
"There's no next schedule, you can come back early, Mr. Director."
"Alright, don't forget to send me my schedule one week ahead."
"Eh, where are you going?"
"I just want to rest early, you don't have to follow. I'll also bring my own car."
"But, what if Mr Abhimanyu asks?"
"You know what to do."
Arlan did not escort Vano, he just stared at the silhouette of the man until he disappeared behind the door. The first thing to do is to rearrange the Vano schedule. Anis, the secretary who helped her is on leave.
Actually there is still one more meeting this afternoon, but seeing the state of Vano, Arlan chose to meet the client himself.
Vano was already sitting in the steering chair, he did not deliberately ask the driver to deliver it. His eyes closed, Al was his only sister. Of course the longing must be there, he misses when arguing with his little girl. The dissident girl he loved so much.
"Al, you're a big boy now."
Vano rubbed a portrait of himself and the little Al stored inside his wallet. A photo box of him playing with Al at an amusement park. Really, Vano really wanted to go back to that time.
He smiled bitterly considering the place he had not been to for a long time. However, the sense of tightness was again felt while crowding scene after scene that continued to spin like a movie scene.
The net condensed, the pain grew even more piercing as it stared at the woman sitting on the small Al's lap. Vano's body seemed stiffened, the day he had to take the heaviest blow of his life.
"No, it's just the past." Vano inhaled a lot of air to fill the cavity in his lungs. He put the photo back in his wallet.
