The impromptu order of Mr. Hendro who requested a proposal for planning and organizing a production schedule for a new project, made Candra and Salma have to overtime. Because Monday morning the proposal should already be on the director's desk.
Candra who has finished making the draft, there is nothing more to do. Just waiting for Salma to finish her typing. Candra looked at Salma sitting in front of her desk, her fingers moving agilely on the keyboard. The view is so focused staring at the paper and the laptop screen alternates to copy the data.
"I was the first to notice Salma this close. Holy said, she is beautiful. All this time his attitude was very polite and kind." Candra.
"Alhamdulillah, be well."
Salma's voice that still sounded spirit, immediately disperse Candra's daydream.
"Just print it out, Sal! Let Monday not bother anymore, just save it to the director's desk."
Salma simply nodded, she immediately turned on the printer located beside Candra's workbench. At 8 p.m., all the work was finally done. The two of them tidied back the table also tidied themselves up to go home.
"Salma, let me drive you home!"
"Don't bother Mr. Candra, I'm just going up. We're not going in the same direction,-" said Salma. Actually his heart was very happy to go home alone, but his pride beat him.
"Don't refuse, Sal. I'm worried that women come home alone at night. I consider you like my sister, so I won't let you go home alone. Come on!"
Candra patted Salma on the shoulder to follow her out of the room.
"Sister only?! I want to be a special woman who can reign in your heart. It's okay Salma, be patient. If the soul mate isn't going anywhere."
While deeply entrenched, Salma walked along Candra's steps towards the elevator. Can alone make Salma's heart happy, especially if you can have it.
"Sir Candra, why turn to the cafe?" frowning, Salma looked at the boss.
"We haven't had dinner yet, Sal. Do not self-destruct by neglecting to eat because of busy work. Down, yuk!" Candra opened her seatbelt, took her secretary down.
This is what Salma likes from his superiors, the perfect physique supported by self-discipline and religious. No need to idolize the oppa korea or the capital actor. Candra Al Katiri, you amaze me even more!"

"Umi blesses him for proposing to you. Umi didn't make a decision, son. Nico is a good man, his arrival here is accompanied by the blessing of his parents. Parents' blessing is an important point in fostering domestic relationships later."
Umi's words were still clearly ringing in the minds of Saints. After Isha, Suci called the Mother asking the truth of Nico's words. And the story of Nico's arrival and Umi's advice flowed from there.
"Umi saw earnestness and sincerity from her eyes. He confessed to your co-worker, but Umi wasn't sure if he was an ordinary person. He's humble, son."
"Holy, Rafa used to be a good man, but his mother didn't accept you. The way God breaks your relationship is painful, but it's His best destiny."
The saint rubbed his face with both hands. He still feels at home sitting in the dining room finished enjoying the dinner given by Nico, while permeating the words of Uminya who is still warm spoken.
I just stepped on a month of working as Mas Nico's secretary, and this afternoon he declared love. Isn't this too fast? But if he intends to mess around, why should he go to see Umi? And Umi had given his blessing without knowing his status, if he was actually the heir to the company. Oh my God, I am confused by my feelings.
The sound of the whistling of the gate being pushed, loud rang out in the silence of the night. The wall clock shows the number 10 at night, Brother just came home. He must have cape home overtime, tomorrow morning I'll talk to him, I need his opinion.
This morning I prepared breakfast toast and warm milk for me and my brother. He doesn't like coffee. On the weekend, I'd better talk about it now.
"Hm Bang, Mas Nico proposed to me yesterday?"
I saw the shock reaction on Bang Candra's face. "Seriously?" tanyakanya.
I nodded slowly. "Even before he had met Umi to Banda Aceh asking for permission, and Umi kept him for the night's stay."
I told him last night that I called Umi, everything I heard, nothing added or reduced.
"What do you think?"
"Hm. Nico, who used to know her brother, she worked not seriously, often skipped out of the office for days until her father was cranky. But I didn't hear any negative news about him. And the present Nico, he turned 180° into a tenacious worker. In recent months the company got major projects thanks to its diplomacy, Brother so busy supervising two factories. But most of all, Nico has turned into a pious. His parents were also low profile, brother had been to his house several times when Mr. Hendro was sick."
"So the final decision is in your hands, Dek. Whether you accept it or not, you're behind you."
I can only be quiet when I hear his explanation. That means Brother is also supportive if I accept Mas Nico.
"Assynoltom...Mas Nico, I'm waiting for your arrival tonight 🤗"
I sent him a message. Not for a minute, Mas Nico sent a reply.
"By pleasure, Sucita."
I smiled at her quick reply. Time to enjoy a relaxing day. My brother is in fitness upstairs. Time to sunbathe with my favorite flowers....

The leaves are withered and the branches dry in pickings one by one from each of his favorite plants. With a slow humming, Suci wiped each pot to make it look clean and snug. He rearranged the location of the pots to give a new atmosphere. Aster flowers of various colors are in bloom and some are still buds. White, yellow, maroon, and purple Aster flowers, make the atmosphere of the corner of the terrace more beautiful, vibrant of various colors.
A bright and cheerful big smile from the owner of the flower. With natural red blushing cheeks due to the greeting of the morning sun, making someone who looked at him from afar smile meaningfully. From behind the black glass of his luxury car, the man continued to stare at the girl without even turning away. He didn't want to lose that sweet smile that had long since disappeared away from sight. His eyes hinted at the mounting burden of longing. "Holy, you look more beautiful" she murmured.
The handsome man was more and more fascinated to see the Holy Gesture while inhaling the fragrance of flowers with his eyes closed with a thin smile. The girl seemed to permeate every breath when she smelled the refreshing aroma of white Aster whose flower size is the largest among other colors.
The moment did not escape from the shots of the sophisticated cellphone camera he held. "I miss you, Holy." He stroked the beautiful face that was plastered on his phone screen, peeling it full of feeling.
