The Rival Beside Me
The Scenes Behind the Past

Lala stopped and looked up to Rise.

" What's wrong, sir?" Lala asked in surprise as she let go of the hand of the Risen One holding her.

Rise up confused with his attitude. Between confusion and spontaneity is no longer able to distinguish it at this time.

" Hmm.., can you cancel our meeting with Horizon?" Get up and switch the conversation.

" What? We can't just unilaterally cancel like that sir." Lala's protest caused Bisa to be disappointed.

" I really had a sudden interest right at that hour." The complaints of Rise made Lala confused.

" Let me meet. He's my best friend so it doesn't matter if I just meet him." Lala offers the best solution. But best for Lala. The facts are not best for awakening

' No. If He is alone, then they are alone. Oh No!!!' Thinking spontaneously rise suddenly feel unwilling.

" No, it looks like we're together. I'll delay my interests." Rise up in a hurry.

Lala looked up at Rise full of investigation.

" why? Do you still want to be in my room?" Tanya Bangkit averted Lala's eyes which began to suspect her.

" You... Rise my college best friend?" Lala said sure.

Rise up and laugh.

" Yes I Rise up who else. But your superior. Not your college friend." Clearly Rise.

" It looks like you miss your best friend a lot. Or maybe he's the best friend that made you fall in love?" Rise up tempting Lala.

Lala fell silent.

" Is that true?"

" So he looks like me? From names and faces too?"

Again Lala just grunted in annoyance. It was all completely logical to him.

The words Awakened clearly instantly made Lala shocked.

Lala hurriedly left the room.

Rather than her crazy self hearing those strange words from her superior.

Rise up looking immediately relieved once Lala has come out of his room.

But Rise is still frustrating.

" Do I have a twin?" Rise wondering for yourself.

He pressed the remote control of his window, looking at Lala who was busy with his work.

Lala typed the document while her mind was floating around unclear.

' This is really weird. Why did he suddenly want to cancel his meeting with the horizon? But refused my offer.'Think Lala.

Obviously this made Lala even more curious.

...***...

A woman with a big smile came back from the USA secretly.

" I am coming ." Devina said as she pulled her suitcase.

He called Bersang. But many times the phone had no response.

Rise just looking at the empty ringing hpnya. His mind had clearly been diverted to Lala. Even Bangkit felt that he did not expect to meet the woman who always filled his days in the USA. Devina is her lover now. But his heart was now completely empty. Yes, it seems like Risen was just messing around with Devina all this time. A woman who was betrothed by her father.

Lala unintentionally looked towards the Director's room. It was clear that the window of the room was open and his boss was looking at him. The awakening that immediately awoke from his daydream, immediately closed the window of his room.

"Oh My God's. Did he see me?" Rise up in fear yourself. He immediately returned to his work.

After a few hours, after the meeting with investors, the time was 10:00. Lala accompanied Rise to Horizon Group.

During the journey, Bersang appeared to prefer silence. She is afraid to do anything weird again or make Lala suspicious. And obviously it's bad to have Lala figure out she's interested in him . Lala will stay away from him. He didn't want that to happen.

Lala also glanced towards Bangkit. He was curious about the smile of the Rise that suddenly had no wind, no storm and no rain just appeared.

" Is there something wrong with my appearance?" Tanya Lala made Bangsa wake up from her daydream.

Rise up and look at Lala from hair to toe. And obviously made Lala squint her forehead.

" Nothing." Rise up shaking his head.

" Why did you suddenly smile to yourself?" Ask Lala curiously.

Rise immediately twisted his brain, looking for the right reason to answer him.

" I just feel happy."

Lala nodded her head. Not long after they arrived at the Horizon Group building.

" Good Day, can you meet Mr. Dimas?" Lala went straight to the point to the reception.

" AXI Group?" The receptionist ensured their arrival.

" It's true."

Dimas was waiting for them. Smile expands because He knows Lala is coming. He still remembered those past memories. Lala smiled as she entered the meeting room, followed by Rise behind her

" Welcome to ..." Dimas looked surprised and a little disappointed.

" rise?" Dimas still clearly remembered the full face of arrogance on the campus first.

" Is that right, you Dimas?" Rise admit.

" yes. So you've been together all this time?" Dimas misunderstood.

" No, this is a long story. And Mr. Bangkit another graduate of our campus. He graduated from Harvard University." Obviously Lala made Dimas confused.

Rise up yourself looking confused. He felt that the two humans in front of him were not so foreign to him. But He really doesn't remember anything about them.

" so. This isn't Rise in our camp?"Dimas makes sure to come back.

" Not Mr. Dimas." Lala sok formal.

Dimas still looks confused. But finally They discussed cooperation on the apartment project that they want to build on the edge of a city near the beach.

The meeting takes an hour. And they deal work together. Dimas still looks very curious.

During the trip, Lala looks silent. Rise wondered to herself. Why do two people feel like he's a college friend. Rise up to remember her past. But He himself really remembers nothing except about his studies at Harvard University. And his match with Devina in semester 3.

At 4pm they arrived at the office.

" Thank you." Lala went downstairs and headed to her workplace. Clean up documents that are still messy.

Sani was seen calling her.

" Yes San. What's up?"

" What are you doing?"

" I'm still in the office. Why?"

" There's something I want to tell you. "

" What's San's story about?"

" Rise. It turns out that he disappeared because he fell during a wild race and caused memory loss. Then his father transferred to college abroad so he forgot his hobby."Sani is at length.

Lala was surprised.

' It's only fitting that he doesn't remember me at all.' Think Lala.

" Who did you get sari info?"

" Eko."

" Why didn't he tell me?"

" He's afraid you're thinking and interrupting your script."

Lala immediately sat down limp. He really feels stupid. How can everything be like this. Lala immediately moved from her seat. He did not want to add to the problem by staying seated in the secretary room. Lala may approach the Resurrection and force Him to remember. The clock shows at 5 p.m. Lala was absent from going home. And ask Sani to meet you and tell you more details.

Lala's headed to the basement parking lot.

" How come, my work is always in touch with him." Lala immediately looks down.

Not long after. Lala and Sani meet at their coffee shop.

" Why are you pale like that?"

Lala immediately sat down limp.

" What is the chronology?"

" So yesterday, I accidentally met Eko. He asked about you. Then I remembered about Rise. I asked about him too. Then he told me why the Rise suddenly went out of the country."

" I'm going to the office again."

" What?"

" Packing up my stuff in the works."

Sani surprised.

"You want to resign?"

Lala nodded her head again.

" Crazy. You want to get out of a bona fide company like that?"

" That's not a problem. I can work somewhere else." Lala turned her gaze outside the window of the car.

" Rise up what you're telling me, now he's the Director of the company where I work San."

" Why can?" Sani looked very surprised.

" And He really doesn't remember me at all." Lala clear.

His mind was really flogging. She misses. But on the other hand, the time has changed. They are not the former. They are no longer rivals in the campus as they used to be. Now they're just coworkers. Lala took a long breath. It's hard to remember all that.

To be Continued.
