In the President's room, Devano and Stephanus stayed after Mr. Ridwan stepped out of the room. Devano sat on the sofa after being handed a seat by Stephanus. Stephanus deliberately chose to sit on the sofa to impress more relaxed and relaxed.
Devano is seen sitting opposite Stephanus who is the Chairman of Arkana Group. No more nervousness enveloped Devano. Even he was calmer when dealing with his President, unlike what he had imagined before.
Devano itself can freely see around the room that looks clean, neat, with the addition of some room accessories that are not too flashy, so it gives the impression of its own luxury that sees it. Devano's view was fixed on two photos of the Stephanus family on display on the wall.
The first photo shows Stephanus wearing a batik shirt, his face looking younger than his current face. Beside him was his wife who also used a batik dress with the same pattern as her husband. It also appears that a boy around 5 years old is wearing a graduation suit and a girl about 3 years old is wearing a short dress with hair on the two lips, holding a teddy bear in her right hand.
"Maybe the photo was taken during the graduation of his son's Kindergarten," Devano's inner self, who was also pleased with the happiness that was emanated in the photo.
The second photo shows Stephanus with his face currently wearing a suit and his wife wearing a kebaya. It also appears that a girl was placed in the middle of her parents, and was holding a birthday cake that read anniversary.
It looks like the second photo was taken during the important moment of the anniversary celebration of the wedding of Stephanus with his wife.
Stephanus began a conversation to fill the void. "Sir Devan, how are you?"
"Good news, sir."
"Thank God, how does it work here?" ask Stephanus.
"I'm at home, sir. I am very grateful to have been able to work for this company. I also help my co-workers a lot. I just want to say, thank you for the opportunity I was able to join the Arkana Group company" said Devano with a relaxed feeling.
"Thank God Mr. Devan is here. My hope is that anyone who works in this company can work comfortably without any pressure so that productivity is good" explained Stephanus with a smile.
"Yes, Sir. I feel comfortable working in this company."
"By the way, where are you from? You can tell a little about your family, your experience, or your educational background" Stephanus said.
"Ah .. right said the Emir bang, the question is not far from the family and educational background," Devano inner.
"I'm from Surabaya, sir. My father is from Yogyakarta and my mother is from Surabaya. My parents used to study together in Yogyakarta, maybe it was a meeting of my parents."
"But ... My father died of a heart attack when I was in 6th grade. Almarhum used to work as a PNS in one of the schools and my mother was a housewife. I also have two sisters, too, the first female named Diva is now studying at the university high school of economic science in Surabaya and the second male named Kevin is a new 12th grade SMK majoring in Computer Engineering," explained Devano.
"After my father died, we moved from Yogyakarta to Surabaya" he continued.
Stephanus only heard Devano tell him about his family. "I salute your mother, can raise her children, can even send her children to a higher level. Your father would be proud to see you and your brothers" Stephanus said.
Instantly Devano was pensive, he pondered over the words of his President that reminded him of his mother. Remembering her mother's struggle raising her and her two younger siblings.
"True Mr. Stephan, my mother is indeed a great woman. Thanks to my mother's struggle, I was able to do this, "devano's inner self who instantly misses his mother.
"I've seen your diploma and your values, you're great and smart. Your GPA cumlaude, and a lot of experience going through. I'm sure you have good skills and potential in developing your career" Stephanus said.
"But of all that alone is not enough to make a person successful and successful in his life. There are many other factors that you need to learn, too" he added.
"Yes, Sir. Please ask for his direction and guidance" said Devano.
"Looking at your diploma, I remember the past when I was in college. I did not go to college very late, even I was often too late to do assignments from lecturers," said Stephanus with a small laugh remembering himself first.
"But fate brought me to where I am now. It turns out that true intelligence is not the determinant of success, but rather our true intentions and several other factors" said Stephanus.
"When I was in college in Yogyakarta, I had a friend. He helped me a lot and helped me. Even some of his help changed my life for the better as it is today. But, baby until now I have never met him. Somehow where he is now," confided Stephanus sighed and looked as if sorrow had been scattered on his face.
"That's sir's best friend, helping each other and helping each other. I pray that you can meet your best friend soon" said Devano, who understands the feelings of his president.
"Amen. Mr. Devan, I almost didn't go to college. The old man in the village couldn't send money for college because there was some debt that my parents had to pay."
"I didn't know what to do and was almost desperate. But luckily I had a best friend, he offered me to stay in his room for free. He also offers a typos side job. He taught me how to type in a report from a student, and that's enough for the daily food and college costs."
"Since then I have understood the meaning of friendship, that he accepts us when we are in trouble and even helps our distress" Stephanus said.
"But after we graduated from college, my best friend and I never met again" Stephanus said.
"In fact, when I met you at the expo yesterday, I was a bit surprised because I felt like I met my best friend."
Instantly Devano showed a face of confusion. "So my face is similar to my best friend?" ask Devano.
"Yes .. his face looks like you Devan, life is sharp, eyebrows thick, his body is tall. Looking at you I immediately remembered there was no way you were him. She is the same age as me, both old. Ha ... ha. ha" said Stephanus, laughing as he imagined what his best friend's face was like.
"Father there is-there is. The time of my face is similar to that of my best friend" Devano chuckled back.
"There may be some bio info, sir. Who knows, I could find the whereabouts of my friend. From the story of the Father, it happens that my mother's father is also an alumni of the same university as the Father," said Devano.
"What! your parents are alumni of that university, too?"
