Part 21.
After taking Mother to the boutique I continued to campus. While enjoying the song from the car CD, my cellphone vibrated.
Derrtt... derrtt... The incoming notification sound from the app is green. I wiped the screen, there was a message from an unknown number.
"Good morning, Za! Don't forget to have breakfast, okay?"
"Hm, who else is this, I muttered.
Once you open the profile there is a photo and name. It turned out to be Indra, the handsome CEO's younger brother. He must have gotten my number from his brother. He is more daring, at least there is a photo and name on his profile unlike the CEO who is pretentious.
"Have breakfast! Now on campus," I replied. Indra is typing a message.
Derrtt... derrtt...
"Spirit, yes, I hope your business is finished quickly!" he replied.
I just read the message, he called my name without saying "Sis." His guts are pretty good, even though we are four years apart in age, but he's more mature than his age actually.
Because I didn't reply to his message anymore, Indra didn't send any more messages, but he was still online. The car had already entered the campus parking lot. Just got out of the car, from far away Arini's voice called me.
"Zaaa...!" call him. I stood beside the car, waiting for Arini.
"Why are you running, do you want to warm up?!" my joke
"Hee-hee, let's just be fresh," said Arini.
"What's wrong? More gossip?" I guess.
"Aihh, not Zaa! Have you got an internship place?" asked Arini.
"It's okay," I replied, snapping two fingers.
"Invite me! I'm dizzy looking for a suitable internship place!" he asked.
"Hm, there are conditions!" I said, making Arini curious.
"You can't like, let alone fall in love with a CEO who owns an office!" threatened me.
"Aihh, that's all the conditions for me. You can't even wash your eyes, can you?"
"Haa-haa, what are we talking about," I put my arm around Arini's shoulder who was still confused.
"Come on, let's go! I want to meet the killer lecturer at the office. Today I want to submit a proposal to ask for a signature from the supervisor!"
"Sure, I'll accompany you, and write my name too! That we are in the same office at the internship!" asked Arini.
"Okay," I said.
We walked to the office. I glanced at the watch on my hand, it was still early. I came too soon, because I was chasing the signature of the killer lecturer.
******
The signature has been obtained, Arini and I went straight to the handsome CEO's office. Along the way, Arini told about Angga's concern for her. But they want a career first and then they can get married, that's requirements from parents.
"Hm, it's cool that you already have a husband! Meanwhile, I'm still single until now," I said.
"You will definitely get a loyal lover, usually good women are matched with good men," said Arini confidently.
"Just pray that it will come true," I said hopefully.
Arriving at the address mentioned by the CEO, I looked for a sign that said the lawyer's office "Wendy Putrada S.H. There are offices lined up along this street, but not the name of the lawyer listed.
Arini suggested just calling the CEO, so he would wait for us in front of his office. This is also true of my friend's idea. I grabbed my phone in my bag and called him.
The number given by the CEO was busy, maybe he was talking to someone else. I tried calling using a different number, it looks like this is the number for the office.
Tutt... tutt... the phone rings.
"Hello, good afternoon," said the voice on the other end but not Brother Wendy's voice but a woman's voice.
"Good afternoon," I replied.
"Who is this with?" the woman asked again.
"I'm Zahra! Mr. Wendy is there, Mom?" I asked
"Oh, this is Zahra, please come and wait a moment! That's a message from him," said the woman.
"If I may ask, which office is next door, Mom? I've arrived at the address, but I don't see the nameplate!"
I explained the position where the car stopped, and explained the color of the car I was using. Soon a woman came out waving her hand towards my car. The woman came out from next to the supermarket, next to her was the lawyer's office.
Hm, you can't see it, the location of the office is between a supermarket and a rice stall. The car sped towards the woman. Then park in the office yard.
"Sorry, Mom, I want to meet Mr. Wendy!" I said.
"Wait a minute, yes, I'll tell him first!" The woman called and told me that I was in the office living room.
******
"Hey, Za, it's been a long wait, yah?" Brother Wendy came down from upstairs.
"Eh, Wendy just surprised me! We've been outside, Bro!" I answered.
Arini pinched my arm, whispering. "Zaaa, the CEO is so handsome!"
"Hm, it's okay, don't worry! Remember your promise!" I said as I adjusted my seat.
"This is the proposal, Bro!" I gave him a blue folder containing the application file for an internship.
Brother Wendy opened the map, then read it. I looked closely at his face. So far, only seen from afar. Now this handsome CEO is in sight.
However, I can't be too over-acting, it'll look tacky or tacky. Keep your attitude a little, so that you look elegant and polite. Meanwhile, Brother Wendy is busy checking the proposal that I submitted earlier.
We are both still cool looking at the face of this handsome CEO. Until the one with the face realized and asked.
"What are you guys looking at?"
"Hm, we are waiting for Wendy's decision," said Arini.
Duhh, my friend's answer, made us ashamed of ourselves. Like waiting for an expression of love, I said in my heart. Wendy laughed at Arini's answer.
"You guys take it easy, you don't have to be so formal," he asked.
"Oh, yes-yes, Bro," I said with a smile.
Meanwhile, in the corner of the room at the reception desk, the woman continued to watch. His face looks sullen seeing our presence.
