- The interns have to join the meeting too? That's crazy, Dana. -
Crying out for an internship The morning sky in Jambi was cloudy, there was no sun with its rays, welcoming me this morning as an intern who is not new anymore. It started to drizzle, drop by drop. I put the bag over my head.
" Muna, Na.." A call from the front, I raised my head and saw the human again, that was again.
Dana, stretched out his arms to hold me from going inside. What did he not see? It's drizzling like this, there's still a lot of action.
"Come on, Na. Hurry up.."
What kind of order is not clear, my forehead is wrinkled, just like old grandmothers.
" Hah?" I answered confused.
"Get in the my car, don't stay here too long." The order again.
" Where to?" I still do not understand.
"Join the meeting with me." He motioned for me to get into his luxury car.
"No, I don't want to go to the your meeting." I shook my head quickly, the drizzle was getting heavier and lower the water from the sky.
"Why not? I who has the authority." He said without feeling guilty.
"Isn't Ms Vayuna there, Dana. I'm an intern, what will the senior inside say, if I get caught accompanying you to a meeting. Do you want to gossip about the boss and apprentice scandal?" I looked disapprovingly at Dana.
"Would you like it, you're a girl too, you won't lose. The difference between what me is gossiping about and Vayuna, now, i just refuses outright. Come on, don't talk too much, we're wet." He pointed his index finger at his car again.
Like it or not, I have to come along, okay, just this once, there's no harm in it, right? He opened the car door on the left, for me. After I got inside, he seemed to be half running, heading to the right side to drive.
"See, Muna. Wet." He looked at me with a sweet smile.
"It's your own fault, I didn't ask to be invited to a meeting. So don't invite amateur apprentices, your clothes will get all wet." I said take it easy."
"You know, not me. Your clothes are wet, me it's fine, there's no problem."
The car left the office, I just chuckled, occasionally glancing at it and Dana did the same thing. If I look at him, he will reply. Salty knows!
"Ehem .." He cleared his throat, our journey has taken almost fifteen minutes, I prefer to hold hands while looking at the buildings towering into the sky.
Yes, the progress of the times has made buildings with dozens to tens of floors, perfectly upright. Presenting arrogance to humans who have been head over heels - face reality.
Ah, I miss Akasy in Sydney so much.
"Well, about when did your lover propose?"
"Why do you think I have a boyfriend?" I said.
"You know, a woman like you can't be single."
"Why isn't it possible? The perfect one is single, I think."
Him chuckled, his finger tapping the steering wheel. I see, he seems to be thinking.
"You can feel, if this i is having a crush on who?"
"How do I know, not a shaman." I'm too lazy to hear Dana's chatter, I'm sure it's like this, I'm surprised.
"Even though you're not a shaman, it's your heart that you're taking. What's going on?"
"There are still many other women's hearts, why me?"
"Yes, i wants you."
"Accounts don't want to." I answered quickly.
He nodded. "Yeah, it's fine." Not angry at my answer, then we chose to remain silent without talking.
Dana focuses on driving, I pretend to be busy, the point is don't let Dana talk about feelings again. I'm tired, really tired.
STATE WEDDING
Like Dana personal secretary, I waited for him to meet with clients. Wow, don't ask how capable and handsome Dana is in dealing with potential company investors. It's crazy, his wife is very lucky to have a man with a good and educated personality.
I can guess, his descendants will and are very grateful to have parents of the quality of Dana.
Honey, I'm not interested in that guy. Because my heart is strong for Akasy, I believe in our commitment, so I will not break it because of a speck of Mas Dana's charm.
In the final minutes of the meeting, clients who are involved in serious conversations often direct their eyes to me when Dana speaks.
What did the old man say to the Caucasians?
Is there anything strange about me right now?
The meeting was over, I heard clearly that what was originally a potential investor, has now become an investor.
Wow, congratulations Dana. It was not in vain to drag me here, finally I came to know, what things should I use as thesis material.
"Amazing .." I heard the praise that leads to me, from Dana's client.
"Me?" I answered the words of the Caucasian man with blue eyes in front of me at this time.
"Not you, but your future."
"What? Future? You mean the man?" I said surprised and my index finger automatically pointed at Dana.
"Yes, you're right." He smiled widely and left the room.
What else did Dana say to the old man?
Eh, I just realized, the contents of the room earlier, all old men, including people who were busy packing important files, the rest of the meeting into their black bags.
My feet stepped to approach him, my lips trembled from holding back annoyance, not playing.
" Dana." My voice goes up an octave, but what do I get? He pointed his finger to his lips, indicating for me to be quiet, it turned out that he was receiving an incoming call.
"Yes, Mam. Indeed, I didn't have time to look at my cellphone, just finished the meeting. I'm sorry." His voice is very soft, really soothing to the senses of hearing. I heard it was so serious, it seems that Dana parents, to be more precise, her mother is asking for news from her son at this time. "I can't, what is certain is that it's not her."
At first glance I felt Dana gaze stabbed at me, what else am I being talked about? Not long after, the call ended and I was still frozen on the spot.
"Muna want me to take you to the office or come home to Mom for a while?"
Ah, what kind of offer is that? Rejected is uncomfortable, accepted will also be afraid of all kinds.
"Actually, I'm happy to be invited to meet your mother, but later I will think I am is your girlfriend, not just yet. If your family think like that, it could be dangerous."
" My Mother is an understanding person, she never immediately guesses that you are my lover. I know very well, both in personality or otherwise."
I paused, our eyes met. " Sorry."
" Want to?" He made another offer and was heard pleading with me.
"Sure, what should I bring?" I ask.
"What did you bring?" Dana actually turned the question to me.
I snorted in disgust at him, then he laughed.
"You don't need to bring anything. Come on, accompany me again." He stood in front of him, his gaze was completely sincere, this handsome man was extraordinary. Full of authority and good at carrying himself. If indizzy seven rounds. He brought oskadon didn't he?
"I'm so curious about you." I said as he walked out of the hotel.
"Wow, i likes it when you is curious about me. What is it, what is it?" He replied excitedly." Want you to ask about privacy, i promise to answer honestly."
"Why are you doing this? It's not going to happen." I shook my head.
" I am is very enthusiastic about you."
"We don't really know each other." I pursed my lips. "But it was you who took care of you when you were little, i didn't forget the times when you were still peeing in your pants, Auntie was busy, if i played at home, you would definitely be asked to take care of you, you know." Suddenly he became nostalgic.
"I don't even remember, I'm still small and don't know who me is."
"Well, that's why you likes to be near you." The car stopped, the red light at the intersection made us have the opportunity to talk more relaxed.
"Why me, Dana? It's weird." I don't like it, what am I, does Dana only know one woman, and that's only me? I don't.
" Oh yeah, how your mother doing?"
"Okay, maybe." I gave an uncertain answer.
"Maybe that's obvious." Dana held out a snack, " I am buy it at the mini market, instead of swallowing saliva, right?"
" You it can or not, just talk about the topic." I grunted, he could always talk to me like that.
Again, he just laughed at my words.
The car we were driving stopped in front of a four-story building, the words "Panti Asuhan Duwa Hati" could be seen as identification for donors or prospective parents who want to adopt children from here.
"Muna, that's my mother. The woman holding the baby." Show Dana to me.
My eyes turned to the woman in question, from a distance, I could already see that mother Dana was really a gentle person.
" I learned a lot from mother, including from maintaining speech to refraining from being patient, whatever the situation. Because, our tongue is the first peak in maintaining life. If our tongue is awake, then other parts of the body are also awake, by the power of God." Dana spoke at length.
I nodded, slinging my backpack over my shoulder. "Yes, Sir. I know too, let's go down."
We got out of the car, still from quite a distance away, Dana welcome was really excited, again I applaud Dana soul that can mingle with small children. Or he already wants marriage, but fate doesn't want him to get married.
"Well, I'm sorry if my words made you uncomfortable." Before we got out of the car, he still managed to apologize to me.
"It's okay, don't worry about it. I'm relaxed." I said waving my hand, asking him to get out of the car, to meet mother Dana.
