The Beginning of the Marriage
Chapter 20

Zio had just arrived in his room at nine in the morning. The man was about to enter, but a voice that called out to him inevitably stopped Zio's steps. As he turned to look for the source of the voice, a woman in a white and black shirt on her knees approached him with quick steps. 

“Good morning, sir, sorry to interrupt your time. I would like to inform you that the company representative of PT. Starlight has been waiting for Father since thirty minutes ago,” he said gently. 

“Since thirty minutes ago?” Zio's surprised. “Ah, I'm really sorry. But will this meeting go on for a long time? Because at noon I have to go to campus to guide thesis students,” said Zio. 

He had completely forgotten that today he had to meet the company's Starlight, but on the other hand he also had to go to campus because he had promised guidance today. There was no way Zio would suddenly send a message to the students to rewind the schedule, because Zio did not want to make things difficult for them as well. He thought Zio should be balanced between being an entrepreneur and being a Lecturer at the University. 

“Father can meet him at this time, then you yourself determine how long the meeting time,” he replied. 

Zio immediately stepped inside the room, put down the bag and immediately returned outside towards the ground floor to meet the Starlight representative along with his secretary. Zio thought if he should leave this meeting, then let his secretary continue. After all, Zio already trusted the woman who worked seven years with him. He is always very reliable. 

Upon arriving at the meeting room, he saw a thirty-year-old woman wearing a maroon suit fitting on her small body. Seeing the presence of Zio and his secretary, the woman immediately got up from her seat and shook Zio's hand. “Good morning, sir, introduce me Amber representative from PT Cahaya Bintang, happy to finally meet you,” greet you kindly.

Zio shook the woman's hand while returning her smile. “I'm Zio, sorry in advance if I make you wait a long time, Mrs Amber,”. 

The woman nodded and did not seem to mind Zio's late arrival. The two sat back down as their chat was about to begin for cooperation between companies. Actually, it was not Zio who was on duty, because he was just a representative. 

“So, have you brought a proposal from your company related to any offers that we can agree?” ask Zio. 

“I've brought it, sir, here's the proposal.” The woman took out a yellow map from her bag, then gave it to Zio. 

Without waiting for long, Zio immediately opened it and read at a glance about what is listed on the A4 size white paper. After it was done, the man immediately gave it to his sectarian. “Let's ask Mr. Adi to agree to this if he agrees. I will wait for his decision in three days,” he told the secretary very slowly. 

The woman nodded, then left the room and there was only Zio and the woman who continued the conversation about the cooperation that would take place with great focus as if someone should not disturb them. 

After eleven o'clock, Amber said goodbye as soon as their discussion was over. “Before thank you for taking your time. I'll wait for the good news from Mr.”

“Good, equally.”

The two of them came out of the meeting room, Zio escorted Amber to the parking lot and when he saw the day that started at noon, the man intended to go straight to the university and wait at the faculty until one. Actually Zio was more comfortable being there. But only three days of his schedule to teach, so he could not often go there. There was actually a desire to have lunch at the restaurant to be made by Zia, but she was determined that she would not go to the restaurant anymore in order not to see Mada who was trying to get close to Zia. 

“Zio, where are you going? To campus?” alex asked while hitting his shoulder from behind. 

Zio nodded. “True, I have to guide the thesis student, so I have to go there now. Where are you going? Restaurant?” guess Zio. 

“Now is indeed a guidance schedule. Since when do you forget that three days a week I can't go to the office and have to go to campus?” Zio answered quickly. “Okay, I have to go now. Happy lunch, I will not come back again and go straight home,” saying goodbye while stepping away. 

“Be careful, Zio,” shouted Alex. 

“Hei Zio!” Seseoeang. 

Zio turned his head and looked at Mada who was walking towards him. Alex did not follow, maybe he was lazy and preferred to wait for Mada near the elevator. 

“What's up?” ask Zio. 

“You're going straight to campus? You don't want to have lunch first? Usually you also have lunch before going to campus to do guidance,” protest Mada. “Come on, don't rush. You can tell your students to have the clock back. After all, you must be full when guiding so as not to get angry,” he said. 

Zio patted Mada's shoulder. “I wouldn't do that. What more some of them there are far away houses, and set out since morning. They'd rather wait than wait, if I act like you say, I can't appreciate them. So eat with Alex, I will join if there is time,” replied Zio trying to give understanding. 

“Okay deh, be careful,” said Mada. 

Zio brandished his thumb marked ‘okay’ then immediately walked towards his parked car, got in and started driving it towards a campus not too far from his current workplace. Fortunately, Zio left a lot of books and laptops in the car, so he did not need to go back and forth to the house to face this situation. Daytime traffic is quite jammed, Zio is most lazy to face the bad of the road because in addition to having to be patient, he also does not feel at home lingering stuck in traffic. 

After an hour and a half drive, the man finally arrived at the parking lot of the University faculty. It's half an hour. The wire he was holding lit up, a student sent him a short message. 

Student Guidance II

Good day, sir, for his guidance where, huh? We gathered at the Faculty library. If you want to change the place, then we will follow you. 

Zio paused his steps for a bit, then typed in a reply quickly. 

Zio

If you have gathered there all, then guidance there only. Find an empty place, ten more minutes I'll be there. And I ask you please don't like yesterday, one of your friends forgot to bring a revisian file. I want the guidance to go well. 

After the message was sent, Zio immediately stepped into the faculty office to pick up the guidance materials.
