Tonight, there is a big event in the ball room of the five seasons hotel, the anniversary of PT Agung Pratama, a large company engaged in the construction of buildings, apartments and high-end housing development.
The majority shareholder, Phillip Collins from the United States, always makes time to attend his company's anniversary every year.
After the meal was over, and the invited guests had left the venue, all that was left were the employees of PT Agung Pratama, because soon there would be an event that was only held after the company's anniversary.
This event is called, Cari Jodoh. This event, was initiated by Philip Collins himself, when he bought a majority stake in the company.
Prior to this, the majority shareholder was the Juwono family. Currently, the Juwono family is only the second largest shareholder in the company, after most of their shares have been sold to Philip Collins.
The Cari Jodoh event is meant to match employees at PT Agung Pratama.
The male employees, who are representatives of each division, will appear on stage, and the female employees will have to choose from below the stage.
The party that determines whether or not the match will be made is the male employee. They can choose which girl to accept as their potential mate.
Once the boy and girl agree, they both receive the luxury of the most expensive room in the hotel, as well as all the luxurious amenities for two nights, all paid for by the company.
In previous years, there have been couples who have actually met during the matchmaking event, and their relationships have gone on to marriage, although some have not.
Tonight, one by one, the male employees who were either single or pretending to be single, had come up on stage and were chosen by the girls who were scrambling to raise their hands, eager to enjoy the luxurious rooms and amenities for two nights at the hotel.
"Van, get ready. In a bit, Ardy, your handsome boyfriend, will be up soon," said Rani, an employee wearing minus glasses to Vania, a beautiful, thin-lipped employee who was pensive while staring at the stage.
"What are you getting ready for? Even though there will be many girls who choose Ardy, Ardy will definitely choose Vania," said Lenny, a slightly chubby employee.
"Not necessarily. That Lita Jutek, she has a huge crush on Ardy. She could have used magic to make Ardy choose her. Right?" Rani argued.
"No, no. Ardy won't be tempted. He will definitely choose Vania, our beautiful friend," Lenny argued again.
Vania herself, meanwhile, still looked pensive, as if she hadn't heard her two friends' conversation.
On stage, there was a big change that made many people laugh.
Apparently, it happened because of the rise of a young man to the stage. The rise of the young man, made a big scene. so that there were many chirps from under the stage.
"There's an OB looking for a mate."
"Woy! Do you want to mop or what?"
"Woy! No one will choose you."
"Hahahaha. That last one is Ardy's voice," Lenny said to Vania and Rani.
"Yeah. A bit of a bully. But, Ardy is right too. Who would choose that guy. His name is Davin, he's just a cleaning service in our office. How could he dare to go on stage? That matchmaking event is only for permanent employees," said Rani to her two friends.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. he's also an employee of our company, so he has the right to join this matchmaking event," said Vania suddenly.
"But, what a pity. I'm sure he'll be waiting in vain on stage. Surely no woman will raise her hand to vote for him," said Rani.
"Not necessarily. His body is athletic, his face is handsome, he's even better looking than Ardy," said Vania.
"What the hell? How can you look down on your own boyfriend? Ardy's a dreamy guy who's loved by many women, he's got a great career too, he's only been working for five months and has been promoted to the position of finance director in our company. Noh! What else is missing? You're very lucky, Van, because Ardy chose you as his girlfriend," Lenny said to Vania.
"No, I'm not. I don't feel lucky," Vania replied coldly.
"Len, poor Len, that cleaning service guy, until now, no one has chosen him. You go," Rani said to Lenny.
"No, I'll get laughed at," Lenny replied.
The young cleaning service man, Davin, was still standing on the stage. Fifteen minutes had passed, but, not a single employee offered him, so, he became the laughing stock of many people.
Suddenly, there was another big change on the stage of the hotel ballroom.
A man climbed onto the stage which was immediately greeted by the cheers of many women. This man is Ardy."
"Hahahaha. You have a lot to learn from me, if you want to be chosen by women. Look at me," Ardy said to Davin.
And sure enough, as soon as Ardy stood next to Davin, which meant that Ardy was available to be chosen, the situation under the stage became very excited.
About thirty women scrambled to raise their hands to vote for Ardy.
Ardy was laughing and smiling mockingly at Davin beside him.
"See, they're scrambling to vote for me, unlike you. Hehehehe," said Ardy while laughing at Davin.
As Ardy swaggered like a bodybuilder on stage, more women began to raise their hands to try their luck to be chosen by Ardy.
Ardy was really enjoying this moment, Ardy was really enjoying being the centre of attention of many girls, but, from the beginning, Ardy had planned to choose one woman, namely, Vania, the most beautiful girl at PT Agung Pratama.
The girl who had accepted Ardy's love three days ago and Ardy intended to take their relationship further in a luxurious hotel room tonight.
But, something happened, until now, Vania had not stood up from her seat.
In fact, Ardy will immediately accept Vania, when Vania stands up and raises her hand, but, Ardy patiently waits.
Because it could be, Vania was just waiting for the right moment, because at this time, the situation was very excited because there was pushing and shoving among the many women who chose Ardy earlier.
Finally, Vania stood up from her seat. Vania walked to the stage and approached Ardy.
Ardy was already smiling broadly at Vania's arrival.
Step by step, Vania approached Ardy who was waiting for her on the stage.
Vania's hand was raised, but her hand was not pointing at Ardy, but at Davin.
