The Rival Beside Me
Meetings

Early in the morning Lala stopped a taxi. He took a taxi to get to work.

As soon as he arrived, he immediately walked through the receptionist, finger print and then entered the elevator up to the 4th floor. Lala came out of the elevator.

He looked around, feeling excited.

Not as usual. Especially the company. They half whispered and made him curious.

Lala saw Vira who used to be a division with him just came . He also ran a little and aligned his path with Lala. Vira looked surprised and turned towards Lala.

" Why are all employees different than usual?" Vira curious.

" I don't know. I just came too." Lala looks curious too.

Lala continued walking up to her room. And put his bag on his desk. Lala sat down while turning her gaze toward the room Mr. David, as the main Director of the company at this time. The room looks empty. Obviously David hasn't come yet. Lala refocused and started her work.

Not long after Mr. David arrived. He stood up to greet her as usual.

" Morning Sir."

" Morning." He replied to Lala.

" Oya La's. For a month I have affairs abroad. So all my schedules I'm deploying to my best friend's son. He just came back from America. So you learn and intern here first. You'll explain all my schedules to her. " Obviously Mr. David.

" Ok Sir I understand." Lala sat back down.

'What was his best friend's son like? Hopefully he is easy to work with and good as Mr. David.'Hope Lala is in her heart.

Lala refocused on work.

" Good day Miss. Is Mr David in the room?" The bass made Lala look up at her face.

Lala was surprised not to play. The person He had missed all this time, now appeared in front of him all of a sudden. It was a miracle for him.

His appearance is different now. He was more mature with his glasses. But his face was clearly still the way it used to be, only a slight change in his cheeks was no longer stingy and looked more gaunt. And the style is like westerners.

" rise?" Lala wasn't too sure and made sure.

Rise up looking confused. The woman in front of him seemed to recognize him.

" Ayeah right. Is Mr David in the room?"

Lala was silent for a moment. Rise up not to recognize him. Really don't recognize him at all.

" Miss Shabila?" Tanya Bangkit made Lala instantly aware of her thoughts.

" Oya sorry, please come in. It seems Mr. David is waiting." Clearly Lala immediately invited Bersangkan in.

" Thank you Miss Shabila." Rise up walking into Mr. David's room.

" Everyone." Lala still looked at him, between believing and not believing.

Lala scratched her own head. Looked at with a curious look.

' How could the Rise not recognize him.

" Am I hallucinating?" Lala pinched her own hand and was obviously sick.

'Aiiish! I really can't concentrate on working like this.' Think Lala.

Mr. David and Rise were seen coming out of the room. As usual, David smiled at Lala. So too Rise a friendly smile. Lala smiled back to see them.

Lala still couldn't believe what she saw.

" La, don't you want lunch?" Vera was seen approaching him.

Lala glanced at her watch, It was time to take a break.

" Come! " Take Vera.

" The Bentar Ve." Lala moved out of her seat after clearing all the documents strewn over her desk.

They walked to the company cafeteria. And then queue to take food that has been provided specifically for employees. They looked all over. They finally found an empty seat.

" Vera. Do you know about his best friend Mr. David's son?"

Lala's curious.

" Less so know. But reportedly he graduated from one of the universities in America. And Mr. David's son-in-law's future." Clearly Vera was curious to make Lala choke instantly

"  Really?"

Lala thought back to the past. First, rise to the USA without telling her anything. And that was very impressed suddenly. Something is awkward. What actually happened back then. Something happened to Rise. And now Rise up memory loss or completely forget it?

' It was like drama.' Lala shook her head.

'It seems I mostly watch dramas.' Thought Lala was throwing away her negative thoughts.

" Are you not eating La?" Vera sees Lala's food still plentiful.

" no. I'm not so hungry." Lala suddenly lost her appetite.

Vera laughs because Lala looks like she always does.

" You're not what you used to be. Did you take the wrong medicine?" Vera's mocked Lala's appetite this time.

" no. I just got the wrong sleeping position like that." Lala said as she pleased.

Vera immediately gawked and patted the jidat.

...***...

Today Mr. David has flown Abroad. All schedules were replaced by Rise.

"Miss Shabila. Follow Me!" Suddenly Rise appeared and took him out. It clearly has to do with the meeting.

For some reason, Lala's heart currently felt abnormal. It feels a little uncomfortable. Especially considering that Bangkit is his son-in-law candidate Mr. David.

Rise up looking focused driving while occasionally glancing at Lala who was looking restless.

Rise up only to raise his lips to form a smile.

Meeting with an investor is not too long. Just an hour, get them back in the office. There was no important or ridiculous talk between Bangkit and Lala. They seem to be busy with their own thoughts.

The time has shown at 16:00, making Lala immediately clean up all the documents that are still messy on her desk.

As soon as it was neat, Lala headed straight for the elevator. Down to the ground floor and absent finger. Lala stepped towards the front of the office. He waited for Sani to pick him up.

" Miss Shabila? " Spontaneous Sound Rise. 

Lala was a little surprised by a voice that was no stranger to her. He looked directly back.

Lala had to stop her steps. He saw a little Rise running up to him. Lala's previously normal heart rate, now began to abnormally return to see the Rise getting closer to him.

" Are you going straight home?"Tanya Rise curious.

" Yes Sir."

Lala looked a little hesitant in greeting him.

" How about we eat first. So that we are more familiar as business partners." Get Risen.

While Lala looks silent for a moment, before finally agreeing.

"OK."

Lala got into the car. They were seen heading to a restaurant not far from the office.

" So you've been a secretary to Mr David for a long time? " Tanya Rise while pulling a seat.

"Not yet, only two months sir." Lala replied and sat down.

" I was in another division." Added Lala.

Soon a waitrees approached them. Without Awaking to the Mind. Rise ordering Lala's favorite food, without asking her first.Lala immediately looks more curious.

" Oya, which university are you graduating from? " Tanya Rise diverted the conversation.

" Miss Shabila."

Lala immediately regained consciousness from her daydream.

" Main Son University."

" Why don't you go to college abroad?Your English is pretty good." Rise looks very curious about Lala's life.

"I can't be away from family." Lala seemed to answer only as necessary.

Not long after the order came. And they seem to start eating.
