When the car Suga was riding with the driver and his secretary arrived at the company's main gate, the atmosphere turned out quite quiet. They left the place not long ago, but Nurma and Gatra are no longer seen there either. It looks like they've gone to dinner together.
Suga sighed. "Tell the event address at 081," he said to Ratih.
Ratih gasped. "081?" She asked in surprise.
Suga swallowed saliva because he had said the wrong thing. "I mean Mr. Driver."
"Oh ... mm, but what address do you mean, Mr. Suga?"
"Where do you want to go now?"
"Me?"
"Hmm ...."
Ratih fell silent while thinking about her wish; Suga seemed already to know. And her current desire is to get the job done. Regarding the address, there is only one related address: the restaurant address where Ratih wants to join the meal with her friends. But why did Suga question the address?
"Why? Don't get me wrong, I'm just lazy to see your sour face, Ratih!" said Suga firmly when Ratih looked at him.
Ratih frowned when she still didn't understand Sugantara's words. Does Suga want to take her to her friends at related restaurants?
Enthusiastically, Ratih grabbed her cell phone back from the carry-on bag. Ratih then looked for a message containing the restaurant's address that Nurma had sent not long ago. In the next second, she showed the address for the driver.
"Ready, Miss," said the driver with member number 081.
Shortly after looking at Suga and getting a nod response, the driver started driving his car to get to that address.
Because Suga did not deny what Ratih expected, Ratih immediately felt happy. Her sour face has now become radiant. How not? Apart from can being with friends, she can also be free from overtime work and the supervision of a Sugantara. However, ... how could the cruel Suga suddenly do good?
Ratih fell silent and immediately erased a previously difficult smile to fade. He looked at Suga quietly from the reflection of the glass in front of him. Handsome. Once again, Ratih had to admit that the man's face was so handsome. Unfortunately, Suga is too cruel to be given affection. The man's attitude forced Ratih to build hatred in her heart.
Hmm... did he eat wrong, huh? Why suddenly do good? Inner Ratih wondered. In the next second, she immediately shook her head and ignored what she didn't have to know the answer to. The most important thing now is that she can party with her friends.
After wading through the long paved road, the car finally arrived at its destination. Ratih was again made happy while Suga was still silent. Because for Suga, there is nothing special.
"Mr. Suga ...?" Ratih intended to say goodbye before getting out of the car. But Suga's sharp eyes, unobstructed by glasses, made her swallow saliva. "See you later, and thank you."
"Mmm." That's all Suga gave as an answer. Not very enthusiastic, even really doesn't care.
Ratih sighed.
"Mr. Driver, thank you," said Ratih switching to the driver.
The driver gradually nodded. "You're welcome, Miss," he replied.
Without waiting long, Ratih immediately opened the car door and immediately got off. But before stepping on her feet, Nurma, Egy—Nurma's boyfriend, and Gatra came to her. It seems they just arrived.
"Ratih?" Nurma said, and then her eyes glanced into the car where Suga's driver was still silent because her position obstructed the driver when she was still standing in front of the vehicle. "This?" Nurma walked away from her place because she no longer wanted to be a barrier to the vehicle's speed.
Ratih did not remain silent. She remembered that Suga was not wearing glasses. Quickly, Ratih ran. She covered the car window that had not been tightly closed where Suga was inside.
Soon after, Ratih grabbed Nurma's hand. "Let's come in, Nur!" she invite Nurma.
"Y-yes," Nurma replied, still trying to find out who the figure was in there. "There is Mr Suga inside, right? Just invite it, Ratih!"
"Don't mess with him up, Nur."
"Oh, it will be impolite if we do not invite him."
Gatra snorted from the left side. "Don't be weird, Nurma!"
"But, ...?" Nurma said.
"It's okay if the boss also wants to join us," said Egy.
Ratih swallows saliva. Can't! Because for her, the presence of Sugantara will only bring havoc. Moreover, what if Suga's real face is exposed? Ratih must still protect the identity of her superior. Apart from feeling that there is a special reason behind Suga's decision, Ratih no longer wants to be charged with two billion.
The sound of the car door was heard being opened, making Ratih surprised. The beautiful woman turned her body to make sure. Suga gradually emerged, his eagle's eyes again framed with thick glasses. At the same time, his long bangs have flowed forward.
"How long do you want to block the car road—" Suga has not managed to finish his words because of Nurma's words.
"Mr. Suga, let's eat together," said Nurma.
"Nurma!" Exclaimed Ratih and Gatra together.
Nurma looked at her two friends, then said, "Come on! We have to be polite to the boss."
"Don't be silly!" Strictly Ratih.
While the three argued about Nurma's invitation, Suga was still silent. On the other hand, Egy is trying to break up the debate. The warmth of a friendship, and Suga never felt the warmth that enveloped the four people. His heart was stunned, too, causing a tightness that spread into his chest. Suga was jealous because he couldn't live as normally as the four people.
"I'm joining," Suga said in the end, making the four people immediately shut up. "Think of it as a sense of respect."
Ratih swallowed saliva, and Nurma smiled, Egy was ordinary, and Gatra didn't like it. For Gatra, Suga is a foreigner, no matter what position the geeky man now has, he still doesn't want Suga to join. Especially even though she looks unattractive, Suga seems arrogant. Suga didn't have a smile and, of course, made Gatra uncomfortable. Plus, Gatra already knew Suga's bad attitude he heard from Ratih Kembang, making his heart even more unhappy.
While Ratih felt a mistake, Nurma was relieved because she could attract Suga to an association that Suga had never experienced. It's been a long time since Nurma wanted to help Suga so that she would no longer be the subject of insults from many people. But not because he likes the figure of her boss. She only feels pity. After all, Nurma had a time when she didn't have a single friend.
They then walked to enter the millennial-style restaurant. No conversation happened except for the sweet chatter of lovers still drunk with romance—Egy and Nurma.
"Ratih?" Gatra inserts himself between Ratih and Suga, who accidentally step side by side. "Are you tired?" he asked.
"No." Ratih's forehead wrinkled faintly. "You are sick, Gatra? Why do you suddenly pretend to pay attention like that?"
Hearing Ratih's response, Gatra was made quite embarrassed. The heart wants to be softer, but Ratih answered that was not like Gatra's hope. However, Gatra just tried to ignore his ashamed feeling and glanced sarcastically at Suga.
There was nothing Suga did except walk and occasionally took a deep breath. When Gatra turned back to Ratih, he just smiled condescendingly. It's funny. That's what he thought. Suga knew that Gatra wanted to show off his intimacy with Ratih. Unfortunately, Ratih was not that sensitive. After all, why would Gatra want to show that familiarity to Suga, who didn't even like Ratih?
A table with five chairs they have stopped by. A maid came with a menu book. The five people then chose the food they wanted. Ratih is always enthusiastic about food, especially when her friend pays for the food. She became excited and forgot about irritation.
"Gatra, are you still want the same food as yesterday again?" Asked Ratih to the man he liked in silence.
Gatra nodded steadily. "That's mandatory! What do you want to eat? Let me order it, Babe," he replied.
Ratih shrugged his shoulders. "I'm disgusted. That's not normal, Gatra!"
"Trying to be softer to you is not bad, Ratih." Gatra smiled.
"No! But, that's bad!"
Nurma laughed. "Already, Gatra, shoot her. What's so hard?"
"Just a sweet attitude. That's useless if you don't make her your girlfriend. What do you want? Why are you so slow? What if Ratih is captivated by someone else?" added Egy.
Blush! Gatra's face immediately turned red. To look at Ratih, he couldn't be doing it. Moreover, declaring love. Unfortunately, Nurma and Egy still tease. They don't care about Gatra's heart.
Even Ratih, who is now starting to misbehave, needs clarification about what to do. Waiting for a declaration of love from Gatra is like waiting for the fall of two billion rupiahs. Meanwhile, declaring love first is certainly not a good decision. Ratih is embarrassed and doesn't want her pride to fall. What if Ratih was rejected? She also had to think about Hesvi—Gatra's mother—who hated her very much.
Suga sighed. He clucked while shaking his head. The look in his eyes led to Ratih. While Ratih sneered at him, after all, not in the office, that's what Ratih thought, so she dared to do an impolite attitude toward Suga.
"Alright, let's eat! Before Gatra and Ratih died because they were getting embarrassed," Nurma exclaimed when the waiter came with a dish. Then she switched to Suga. "Come on, Mr. Suga," she continued politely.
"Mm ...." Gatra answered briefly, impressed, like it or not.
Seeing Suga's unfriendly who is outsider, Ratih and Gatra then give a sharp look. No less penetrating gaze was given by Suga in return, but only to Ratih. He raised one eyebrow with sinister intent; you are still under my watch, Ratih!
Ratih clucked, along with the appearance of the sound of breathing that she exhaled violently. "It's so hot!" She exclaimed while fanning her body with her hands.
"What the hell, Ratih? The air conditioner is also on, " said Egy.
"Rain the heat because of Gatra hihi." Nurma also chimed in. "Sorry, Mr. Suga, if we are indeed being disrespectful," she added while looking at Suga.
"No problem," Suga replied, but his eyes still see to Ratih.
Nurma realized Suga's attitude. She stopped the activity. Why does Suga act so attentive to Ratih, even if it's just attention in the form of a look? That question crossed Nurma's mind.
Is it Mr. Suga likes Ratih, so he suddenly recruits Ratih as his secretary? Nurma's mind. Her curiosity began to stick out. Her eyes kept looking at Ratih and Suga while they still looked at each other. So what about Gatra, please? Nurma wondered again. The look in her eyes turned towards Gatra. Will Gatra has to lose love?
