The sound of the morning alarm woke Arjoona Harristian to start his day. He squirmed a few times, massaging his head, and tried to reach mindfulness before actually opening his eyes. Last night was a nightmare for Joona. What's worse than meeting an ex-girlfriend who already has a new boyfriend and has nothing to do but show off? And poor Arjoona is still in love with the old lover that he proposed before, Dessy Anggraini.
"Aahh ... what day is it now?!" he spat out bored, his head turning to the side. He snorted at the table clock that showed the time and day and date. After five minutes, Arjoona woke up still in a gray-blue T shirt and black sweatpants. He washed his face and brushed his teeth. Turn off the water tap, then put on a hoody's shirt and change into short cargo pants below the knee. He wears shoes, put on a Bluetooth sports headset, and will start exercising as usual.
Every day, Arjoona would jog around the house. He lives in a house that used to be a small sugar warehouse. He modified it so that it could become a proper place to live for him in Jakarta. Located on the outskirts of the capital, where he lives, is quite crowded because it is close to a village. But his home looks so comfortable because it's a former factory, surrounded by a large field. He bought the land in front of his house where now his old sedan parked.
Arjoona continued running while wearing a hoody. Some neighbors saw him several times adored Joona, who smiled kindly.
"Morning, Mr. Joona!" said a man watering his plants as a neighbor who was given a smile by Arjoona.
"Morning Mr. Rahman" Joona, answered, still running. Arjoona also smiled at some housewives who sat gossiping in the morning.
"Morning Joona," Arjoona only looked down once and nodded. The housewives were giggling. Such desperate housewives!
"Ouch, Arjoona's smiles such a bless in the morning, it makes me melt ... just like an ice cream ...." said one of the housewives who was just passed by Joona.
"Yes, that boy is so freaking handsome, that his sexy dimples make me weak all the time, seriously," The other housewives laugh at hearing the praises about him.
Arjoona finished his jogging lap after more than 35 minutes of running. He returned home, as usual, preparing to start the day working at the British company that builds electronic appliances, Winthrop Electronics. Winthrop Electronics is one of the subsidiaries of Winthrop Corporation based in England and started its factory in Indonesia.
Arjoona is a physics and electrical engineer. He, a genius, has master's degrees in both fields and has a different life at night. Arjoona has an unusual musical talent. Apart from being able to create and design objects, he is also an underground rapper. Within a week, he performed to entertain guests to a hip-hop music club in Jakarta. The club called Anthem has signed Joona as a rapper who performs 3 times a week.
Entering the house, Joona was still sweating when he put off his hoody and took a remote. He turned on the music of That's What I Like by Bruno Mars.
While Arjoona off his hoodie, he took a glass of water and gulped it once. When finished, he went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. Arjoona deftly prepared some ingredients for his breakfast.
Melting the butter, baking the bread before greasing it with tomato paste sauce, then put on some topping that he prefers—cheese, pepperoni, and cover with egg. Simple chef-style breakfast served on his plate. Arjoona took his seat, pouring fruit juice, and started breakfast by himself while listening to music.
That's the routines he takes every day before he gets ready to go to work as usual. As an engineer, he just dressed semi-casual. Trousers and shirts without ties with design paper containers are brought daily. Laptop and several other supporting tools that he put in a backpack. He got on a Toyota corona car made in 2000 and prepared to go to the company where he worked.
Arriving at the company parking lot at 8 am, Arjoona Harristian got out of the car and was immediately greeted by his deputy and the head of the company's labor union, David Tarigan.
"Good morning, Joona, ah, you look really fresh today, my brother is in the house!" said David with his typical Medan's speaking style, which was severely thick. Even though he was born and raised in Jakarta, his Batak accent has not left. Arjoona just smiled, locking the car.
"You said the same thing every day, is there nothing else?" replied Joona while walking. The shorter David embraced Jonna, who was taller than him.
"Ah, what else can I say to you other than you just like a handsome brother from a Chinese movie star?" Joona nudged David, who laughed at Arjoona, who was just smiling. They are still walking together until entering the plant area. Joona's office is located on the third floor of the electronics factory. He is the head of the design and production surveillance division. There are hundreds of workers and informal workers under his direction.
Joona's job and duties are designing and supervising electronic production before entering the quality control section for testing.
"Bro, if you're bored, you just call me below, sorry you're alone upstairs, there's nothing smooth you can see hahaha." David said with a teasing laugh at Arjoona. Joona just shook his head and smiled as he continued up the stairs to his office. Having not opened the door yet, a girl approached Joona.
"Morning Arjoona, I am bringing a full of breakfast and coffee for you." A girl named Mutiara gave a tray of food and a cup of coffee.
"Wow, thanks a lot Tiara, you are really kind, but I have my breakfast already!" Tiara instantly frowned. Ah, Joona didn't like to torment others, so he looked down through the railing beside him. He was looking for David, who was still talking with several workers.
"David," called Joona, shouted, and David looked up.
"Get up stairs, bro!" Joona told David to go upstairs. Once up, David's smile widened when he saw Tiara in front of him. But Tiara, who didn't know anything, frowned.
"What's up?" David asked, then glanced at Tiara in front of him.
"Did you have your breakfast? I hope not." David shook his head, Joona quickly smiled.
"Well coincidentally, Tiara brought me breakfast but I already ate at home so this is just for you, so it won't be wasteful, it's not good to waste on food, right! " said Joona, greeted by David's delighted grin. He gets breakfast from the girl he likes. Tiara responded to him with a shocked face that couldn't believe Joona gave David her special homemade breakfast.
"But ..." Tiara needed to protest, but when Joona glance at her, she didn't talk.
"Why, do you mind, Tiara?" asked Joona. Tiara was forced to shake her head with an unwilling face. But David was very sincere in accepting breakfast from Tiara.
"Ouch Tiara, I'm so happy to take this from you" Tiara finally grinned, and Joona just pursed his lips in laughter. Tiara, who snorted in annoyance while laughing sarcastically, finally gave David's breakfast tray and quickly left. David was disappointed to see Tiara's attitude that didn't even say goodbye to him. Joona has to pat David's shoulder to make him feel better than led him into his office.
