Standing on the edge of the red carpet with many party guests tonight, Calina was made to stay glued to one handsome figure who is now the center of attention.
The MC voice on stage repeatedly mentioned the CEO's name with pride.
"Kenzo Adhitama!"
The impression of a cold face that showed from the first time, did not in the least make him look arrogant. It just looks more handsome and stunning.
A pair of black eyeballs between a firm facial line and jet black hair, perfecting the character he was building. Those pair of beautiful eyes were staring straight ahead. There is not a single employee that he thinks deserves to be in the lyrics.
Even Naura, the woman who was in the field - Zio as the most beautiful woman in the office was not getting the slightest glance from a Kenzo.
Clapping small hands like the others, but the eyes could not even move from what had already caught his attention from the beginning. Maybe this also applies to other invited guests, especially women.
But not applicable to other employees, when Kenzo steps left just one meter distance with Calina.
Kenzo turned his head coldly, the look on his face remained the same, not changing one bit. But a pair of eyeballs did not blink to see Calina. Until Kenzo's strapping body passes through Calina's slender body, and the two glare-eye look at each other is finally cut off. Kenzo looked straight ahead.
Calina's hands that originally clapped lightly, had frozen silently while staring at Kenzo's pair of eyes.
' Who is he? '
Calina murmured in the heart. Staring at Kenzo's back with question marks.
' Those eyes... '
Until the sound of applause that grew increasingly boisterous when the President and CEO arrived on stage, then Calina realized from daydreaming. In a daze Calina sat back in her chair.l with Zio.
"You know him?" tanya Zio arrived - arrived.
"Well...?" Calina turned her head with a mind that had not yet fully returned.
"You know him?" repeat Zio a little stiff from before.
"No!" call Calina as flat as possible.
"Why are you looking at each other?" ask Zio. "It was like a long time no see, and now it's back? or maybe you know him?" zio continued like an interrogation.
"No, Mas!" answer Calina quickly. "I've only ever seen his eyes.I don't know! i forgot!" calina turned back to the stage. Where there already appears Kenzo received a microphone to give a speech.
Zio looked even more astonished at Calina. Obviously there is something that is either hidden or really remembering something.
Calina sharpened her eyes and ears, to be able to remember who Kenzo was. Until the sound of the greeting Kenzo said made his mind vibrate.
"Assalammuallaicum... Good evening.Greetings to all of us!"
' Gilang? '
Calina said in her heart. Eyes are getting squeaky. Recalling the voice of the man who helped her that night. Also recalling a pair of eyes that were visible from a binocular helmet hole.
' Missile! '
He said again, as he became more convinced that it was Gilang. The god of salvation that God sent for him, when no one else moved his heart.
Kenzo seemed perfect as he delivered his speech as the new CEO. Makes the women more hypnotized with his good looks. It's not like Calina.
' If he really is Gilang, means he gave a fake acquaintance name? '
Calina asked in her heart.
Until the welcoming event ends. And then continued with the video playback - achievement videos and what activities the company did during this one year.
And arrive at the dinner session. Where all are free to take the menu they want.
Zio and Naura met while taking the food menu. Make the two chat while choosing a menu that may be the same. While Calina followed Zio behind her and looked like a useless wife there.
Calina glanced at the cynical two. And with a whim Calina brought the plate back to her desk. Leaving two lovebirds that he could not separate.
The act of artists on stage who entertained during the dinner session, did not make Calina want to sing. Until the food ran out, Calina just kept quiet, staring blankly at the stage and the entire room. And right, Zio hasn't been seen yet.
Sighing heavily, "It feels like the world will never be fair to me.." he murmured later.
Time is showing getting late. Ordinary employees are invited to go home. Including Naura who had to return to take an online taxi to get to her home.
As for the company leaders, such as Zio, Beni and other high office holders, the fate gathered there with their respective spouses.
Chat - casual chat on the provided circular sofa, making all seem familiar. Tonight this week will run out in a tall building.
Kenzo was among them. Mix to get to know each other. But his attitude still looks firm. He also did not forbid for his subordinates to enjoy dinner.
What is nothing but alcoholic drinks and snacks that usually accompany them to get drunk on Sunday nights. And one more, they are also engrossed in karaoke with two microphones provided by the EO.
However Kenzo, the man just looked and chatted small. Sometimes he focused on his cell phone. Not a single drop of alcohol entered his mouth. He was silent, and no one dared to tease or joke before Kenzo started.
"Mas, don't drink too much!" whispered Calina.
But Zio just brushed his lips. Then close her lips to Calina's ears.
"Naura should be next to me! not you!"
Calina sighed. Throwing his gaze toward the sebrang, where it looks someone with the highest position is riding with his assistant.
Until the clock passes the 12-night mark, Calina repeatedly continues to steal - steal a glance at the CEO. Want to find the truth about Gilang figure. Is it true that Kenzo Adhitama had Gilang helping him.
But when their gazes met, Calina immediately turned away. Doubt to ask. Doubt to introduce yourself, then remind that day. There was Zio beside him. Could - could anger Zio will be provoked instantly.
' Even if he really is Gilang, does he know me? '
Calina gave a smile.
' I was like a fool, after all that night I was thankful! '
Then close his lips with his hands. Disguise his smile that I don't know what it means.
While beside him, Zio was engrossed in uplifting alcohol. If his friends are a little listening to his wife's warning not to get drunk. It is different with Zio.
He didn't care a bit about what Calina had warned him from the start. He continued drinking and drinking with a single friend.
Time shows at one o'clock in the night. That special party ended. Zio's drunken friend, returns home with Beni and his wife.
That Zio? the man overwhelmed his wife.
Calina carried Zio's body out of the building with great difficulty. The man was barely conscious. Where has it been - where. Repeatedly vaguely mentioned the name of his first wife. It makes Calina worried that her husband's secret in the office is exposed.
Both of them arrived in front of the lobby. Calina sat Zio on the front steps, as well as herself. Making his thigh a pillow for the hollow Zio.
Hand crunching atik mobile phone trying to get a taxi online at night this late.
"Mas! you don't think, yeah!" exciting Calina. "Now we go home on what? I can't take a car!" calina was upset.
"Kaaauu kaaann bisa pang.gil taksiiiii..."
Every word that came out of Zio's mouth was like a drunk. It's a little hard to translate Calina.
"It's night!" calina is upset.
"Not coming home?"
The short question from someone behind, made Calina immediately turn her head. That voice he had wanted to hear so much since. When there aren't many people like that. And now, the voice asked him.
