Second Chance (2)
Being in such a spacious room felt so foreign. It feels really awkward. His heart kept pounding making him become restless. Even insignificant thoughts started popping up inside his brain which made him even more unsettled. Though this is not the first time he came but why it feels like the first time to come, foreign and uncomfortable.
About 10 minutes Arin waited for Haru who finally came too. He looked so shocked as he walked in towards her.
“Sorry to have you waiting, I have an impromptu meeting.” Haru said.
“Nothing kok,” said Arin.
Haru is suddenly stunned as he realizes Arin's appearance which leaves him awestruck and washed away in thought. It is like he has two different personalities. While at home she became a woman who only stopped a comfort and herself. But now Arin is like a woman who is very different but does not change her true self.
“Why did you see that? Weird huh?” asked Arin who was feeling a little worried looking at Haru's gaze.
“Ngak. You are so beautiful. Thanks for dressing up so beautiful,” said Haru.
Arin's gloomy face instantly changed her smile upon hearing Haru's praise which made her misbehave. “Thank God then.” said Arin.
“Ah! We still have time, you want to go look around and meet with my employees?” ask Haru.
“Is it okay?” asked Arin doubtfully.
“Of course it's okay. They must be happy to see you. How?” ask Haru.
“Ya already then, can.” said Arin.
Then Haru walked with Arin to see the current employees who were busy working. But when Arin and Haru entered into one of the office rooms that seemed so busy, they immediately stopped activities. Their concern was only for Arin who felt very awkward when meeting new people.
“Everything .. She's my wife, her name is Arin. He wants to say hello to you guys ..” Haru said.
“Halo everyone, I am Arin ..” said Arin.
Susana looked silent for 3 seconds until suddenly they immediately cheered Arin greetings so lively that it made Arin surprised and speechless. They are all so friendly and excited to welcome Arin who is the wife of their boss.
“It turns out you are much prettier than the photo we saw,” said one female employee who looked shy when saying it.
“Thank you. You are also just as beautiful,” said Arin.
Instantly the officer was instantly hysterical with excitement.
“Nevent expected to see you up close,” said one of the employees who was in front of Arin, he wore glasses and dressed looking a little messy.
“Sorry .. Our other office space is a mess. We should have cleaned up first if we knew you were coming,” Dimas said.
“Ndon't need. I know, you must be very busy. Please continue your work, do not mind me ..” said Arin.
“Then we leave, please continue your work!” said Haru who then invited Arin to get out of the room.
“It looks like we have to leave soon,” Haru said as he walked towards the elevator.

At a five-star hotel in Jakarta. Haru meets an investor for his latest business. Foreign investors are very important influence on his business this time. He was also a friend of Haru's college when he attended Harvard University. After hearing Haru was married, he immediately asked Haru to take his wife. That's why Arin is currently sitting next to him who is talking about the cooperation contract.
“So, you're Haru's wife?” tanyakanya.
Sontak made Arin surprised because the stranger asked using English.
“Yes ..” replied Arin awkwardly and nervously.
“It's okay, you don't have to be nervous. I'm Haru's college friend, it's okay ... I just want to know who the woman who can steer Haru's very stiff heart,” he said.
Back to make Arin hung up the confusion because he did not know what the person was talking about.
“She said, you don't have to be nervous. He's my college friend and he just wants to know who you are, ” Haru whispered which immediately became nervous Arin.
“Ah .. so apparently.” Nod Arin while smiling politely at the stranger. “So you're Haru's friend? Nice to meet you. My name is Arin, are you?” arin asked as he extended his hand.
“Yeah .. I am John. Nice to meet you, too.” he said while releasing Arin's hand. “Ah! I have someone I want to know.” he said while moving from the building suddenly made Haru and Arin confused.
He was seen approaching a little girl sitting not far from his desk. He took her to sit opposite Arin. ”She's my daughter. Her name is Jenny.” she said.
“Do you have kids? Waw... She's so beautiful.” says Haru.
But strangely the girl just smiled without saying anything. When Haru and John were talking about his business and speaking in English. Making Arin can only be silent in incomprehension. But Arin felt that the little girl named Jenny had been staring at him ever since.
“Why do you keep looking at me?” arin asked in a very soft tone so as not to make the little girl feel afraid even though her speech sounded very stiff.
Arin's question suddenly made the two men stop talking and look at Arin seriously.
The girl was silent for a while until she suddenly started to move her fingers at the stunned bald Arin. The beautiful, blue-eyed little girl was using sign language on her. Not that Arin was surprised, Haru was also surprised and did not know what the girl was doing.
“She said, you look so beautiful.” said John who looked sad.
Arin turned to look at John. Then Arin immediately answered the sentence with hand language. “You're beautiful, too.” said Arin along with her talking mouth. The girl immediately smiled but not Haru and John who looked surprised by what Arin had just done.
“You speak sign language?” john asked, still surprised.
“Yes. But ...” replied Arin who stopped talking because he could not continue with English. He approached Haru and whispered. “I can only use sign language in Indonesian,” Arin said.
“She can only use Indonesian sign language.” Haru told John.
“Wow .. You’re so great!” john said amazed to see the greatness of Arin.
“You are so great,” Haru said to Arin who replied with a smile.
