Exactly 07.25. Almira was already at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Today is the day he is scheduled to go to Surabaya. Whether he wanted it or not, he had to go because Fabian had also told him beforehand.
There was a sense of worry in him because this was the first time he had left Medina alone at home. Previously, she had indeed gone out of town for office matters, but at that time Medina was not alone at home because Mama Alda was there. "Hopefully Medina is okay at home and nothing happens," he thought.
Ten minutes later, when he was sitting in an agitated state because he couldn't bear to leave his only sister at home alone, he must also be confused because until now he still hasn't met his office friends, including Fabian.
"Where are my other office friends? The period hasn't come yet, is it because I'm just being fast," he muttered while bending his forehead.
"Let me check it first when the plane ticket departs," he said quietly.
He hastily checked it and it clearly stated his departure time at 08.00, meaning that he would leave in twenty-five minutes. He was increasingly confused until he finally chose to check in first.
He glanced at his watch, it was only fifteen minutes before departure. So far, his office team has yet to be seen.
"Almira," said a man in a firm but gentle tone. Hearing someone's voice calling her made Almira immediately look towards where the voice came from.
When he looked back, it was Fabian who called him. Spontaneously he smiled with relief. "Pak Fabian finally came too," he said.
"I'm sorry, I had some urgent business earlier, you've been waiting a long time, haven't you?" Fabian asked with a guilty face.
If it wasn't for the incident of nearly running into people, he probably wouldn't have arrived so late. Yes, he was quite surprised by his younger sister's plan to suddenly want to return to Indonesia suddenly, even though her sister had lived in America for quite a while.
At this time David should have come with him to go Surabaya but he was forced not to come because he had to take care of the return of Fabian's younger sister from America. "Sir?" Almira said when she saw Fabian silent.
"Y-yes," replied Fabian.
"Where are the other friends, how come they haven't come yet?" asked Almira innocently.
"For the others, the departure schedule was yesterday," said Fabian calmly.
"It's better now, let's just get on the plane because it's about to take off soon. Don't let us miss the plane," he continued.
Meanwhile, Almira was quite surprised by what Fabian had just casually said. "What? So the other friends left yesterday? That means now I'm leaving alone with Mr. Fabian?" Almira's mind became increasingly excited.
He looked at the man's very garden face with a bewildered expression. Afraid of misunderstanding he tried to ask Fabian again.
"Sir, did I do something wrong to the point that I was left with other friends? Or what about sir? How come the other friends left earlier yesterday," explained Almira.
Fabian immediately smiled, suffering from the question given by Almira. "He's got his mind everywhere," thought Fabian.
"That's it, Almira. Don't think about all kinds of things, you better come with me now," said Fabian, pulling Almira's hand.
Almira finally followed Fabian though with uncertain feelings. After arriving on the plane, Almira continued to feel restless. "Oh, I'm nervous and not calm," thought Almira. His brain kept thinking so he could relieve his nervousness.
Finally, reading his favorite novel in the romance genre is his best choice. Although not focused because many thoughts and feelings block his heart. This isn't the first time he's been assigned to go out of town because of office matters, but before that, he always went with his teammates, not with the CEO.
At least when he's with his other friends he won't be as stiff and tense because he can still joke around. Fabian, who had been paying attention to Almira who was nervous, could only smile faintly while frowning. "Almira must be excited, this is the first time she has left town for business with me," he thought.
"I wish you knew that I started to like you Almira, but I'm afraid that you will stay away from me because of your trauma in the past," he said in his heart.
Fabian has known Almira for a long time since the beginning Almira joined the company he leads, Almira is indeed known for his achievements in work that impressed Fabian, who was initially amazed, and now secretly he has begun to love his staff.
But on the one hand, he also felt sorry for Almira who had to be separated from the other guests because of her actions. "Even though this is on purpose because I want to be with you if you see you are upset because you are separated from other friends, I feel sorry for you too. But my real intention is to invite David so that we are not alone here, but what can I do all of a sudden David I have other business," Fabian thought as he continued to stare at Almira.
Almira was seen staring at the window, her ears were covered with earphones, and her eyes were focused on the novel she was reading. This made Fabian a little curious about what Almira was thinking.
Until finally after the plane landed. Almira was still silent, she seemed to be a little annoyed with her boss. No complaints came out of his mouth, there were no voices of complaints from him that made Fabian feel even more guilty. Because he wanted to be alone with Almira but the atmosphere he wanted was not like this what he expected was joy from Almira.
Fabian through his other staff has ordered a luxury car that he will use for a week in Surabaya. A car that is no less luxurious has been provided by a company that cooperates with the company he leads. But he didn't want to, this time he wanted to drive more freely without being accompanied by a driver or personal assistant who always followed his steps wherever he went.
His mind drifted as he remembered the first moment he met Almira at the office. Many moments used to feel ordinary, but when you think about it now, they feel very sweet and beautiful. At first, he was the one who underestimated Almira until it turned out that Almira proved her achievements by making the company more advanced. About his plan to increase Almira's position as the President Director of his company, Fabian had not yet had time to talk to Almira but he had asked David's opinion and of course, David agreed.
Fabian started to pull the car over when he saw that there was a rest area in front of him. Almira, who had been daydreaming for a while, suddenly turned her head away.
