Alex sighed as he was finally able to get into the headquarters after spending a lot of time breaking through the crowd of reporters who were intercepting him. It's no secret that Alex is Rico's manager.
As a result, when this morning Rico news became a trending topic, Alex was affected. So many journalists Alex had to rely on Xil group bodyguards to get into the headquarters.
Arriving at the lobby, Alex rushed to the meeting room because it turned out that the reason why he was called to the headquarters was to replace Big Lord Xil who could not attend the meeting. He only found out before he came into the office.
This was already common, as Great Lord Xil could not attend the meeting Alex would be ordered to replace him. Though the main director who in fact his son is more entitled.
Alex's mind glared as he was in the elevator with two Xil bodyguards behind him. He used to question that a lot. His memory played back the events of the first day he was ordered to be the representative of Great Lord Xil to attend the meeting. He was manager of Rico for a few months.
The Flashback
Alex stared at the circular watch on his wrist with a careless face. Several times he sounded annoyed. Behind him, it looks like people are busy arranging cameras and some shooting attributes. From a distance he saw the man he had been waiting for.
"Finally you came too, where did you come from, huh? Make me sprain early in the morning. " Ask Alex to the man in front of him who even smirked innocence.
"Liet, my salary goes up. "
"Awas aja if not up, hot ears I horrified director nanyain lo mulu. "
The man before him just nodded indifferently. Alex tried to refrain from hitting the man but finally his hand reached the man's nape.
"Well! Don't KDRT dong, Lex. " The man protested while rubbing his nape.
"Luckily I just hit, grateful dong! "
"Eh, Rico! Where did you go from? " Tegur Rian who suddenly came from behind Alex.
"Eh, yes. I just remembered, you were told to replace the Great Lord of the meeting, Lex. " Rico's words made Alex and Rian stare in disbelief.
"Not kidding, hey! " Rian said still with his incredulous gaze.
"Geez, I have no responsibility if you get scolded by the Great Lord. I told you already. "
Rico stepped away towards the director's place which beckoned him to come.
"Si Rico seems not kidding, mending lo quickly go. You know the meeting place, right? " Rian's suggestion then follows Rico.
Alex decides to follow Rian's advice. He rushed to his car and started driving while still confused. And it turns out that when he arrived at the meeting place he was really waiting to replace Big Master Xil.
Flashback Off
"It was Rico who told me. Why did I never suspect anything at all? It turns out he's the son of the Great Lord. " Murmurm Alex monologue.
The elevator door opened when he reached the floor where the meeting was held. He fixed his appearance for a while before then stepping gallantly out of the elevator. A few of the officers who met him greeted him kindly. Alex returned the greeting kindly as well.
His friendly attitude is already well known to the Xil group employees and makes him the ideal leader every employee wants. Even many of the servants were expecting Grand Master Xil to replace the lead director with Alex.
Even if it happens, Alex wants to lead a big company like Xil group. So manager Rico alone has really made it dizzy let alone lead the big company Xil group. He often shuddered in horror when the employees called him the ideal leader.
'Amit-amit, do not let the Great Lord have thoughts to make me a replacement for Rico. Any of these people think they lead a monopoly kayak company? They are delicious, I am the more burden of life. I want to go to Amazon, too. '
...***...
Octa was sitting in a shop. It is located behind Kara school which was the school when high school with Alex, Rico and Rian. Because this school is also they finally became friends. A middle-aged woman came to him with a sigh.
"Eh, there's Octa boy. It hasn't been here in a long time. How are you saying Octa is the same as everyone else? "
Octa smiled faintly as he got a question from the owner of the stall he was familiar with.
"I'm healthy, Bi. My friends are just as dead as Rian. "
The owner of the shop that Aunt called looked surprised.
"When is that boy? "
"It's a long time, Bi. "
"Died because of what? Though still young. "
Octa was pensive for a while.
"sickness, Bi. " The Overta.
Octa's mind wandered far into the time when they were still sitting in High School.
The Flashback
"Eh, watch the concert! " Take Rian who suddenly comes to the stall where Octa, Alex and Rico hang out.
His three best friends looked at Rian in wonder.
"The bells took to the concert, you're sane? " Tanya Rico made Rian pout.
Alex laughed while Octa just listened.
"Lagian you said you couldn't come here because of what, I forgot. Lo bacot! "
Alex laughed again.
"Where? Didn't get the tiger's son? " Task Alex jahil.
"What the hell? On not want? "
"Lo paid for the ticket but. "
Rian turned the ball of eyes puffed.
"That's why I stopped. "
Rico looked at Rian sparkling.
"What do you pay for? Whoa! Tumbens. "
Alex and Octa were just listening while thinking the same thing.
'Not really possible, Rian was stingy. '
Rian frowning.
"I mean let someone pay for my ticket. That's why I'm all. "
Rico throws a banana peel at Rian so upset. Alex laughed and Octa smiled.
'I guessed it. '
"Damn lo! You think my face is a dumpster? " Rian protests that even got ridicule from Rico.
"Udahlah, like a little boy you two. Here lo Rian, mending eat first. " Lerai Alex.
"But, treated, right? " Task Rian with a sumringah.
Alex chuckles.
"Yes, I'm buying. "
"Basal gak modal, the other is favoritism. " Rico grouse while eating a kuaci.
Rian who heard it instead put on an annoying face and made Rico throw a kuaci shell in his hand on Rian's face. Octa shook his head inexhaustibly with the behavior of his best friend. While Alex just laughed on the sidelines chewing his food.
Late at night Octa prepared to go to sleep after studying for a while. Suddenly the sound of notification on his phone made him undo his intentions. A message from the WA group. He frowned before reading the message.
His face turned worried and he immediately ran to get the car keys and a coat hanging near the door. Run out of the room down the stairs and unlock the front door in a hurry. After exiting and locking back the door of his car house speeding through the deserted streets of the city.
It took 10 minutes to get to the place Rian mentioned. Octa frowned when he saw the place. A very dark and lonely place. Octa had hesitated to come out but his mind was back to worry about Rian's situation.
Finally Octa opened the car door and exited vigilantly. Not yet had time to take a step, someone had smothered him from behind and made him lose consciousness.
Octa's eyes narrowed when suddenly a lamp highlighted him sitting on a chair in a dark room. He stared in wonder when he did not find a single rope that bound him.
He turned his head when he found two other lights highlighting two different objects beside him. His eyes widened as he found Rico and Alex staring at him in the same state. Confused looks they are fighting each other.
Not yet had time to talk to each other, suddenly there were many golden lights that lit around them. Again, they look confused. And the melodious strains of the piano distract them.
It was also then that the lights flashed and revealed a simple stage in front of them. Followed by the sound of a very familiar song in the ears made the three silence so surprised.
A lamp finally highlighted Rian who was sitting playing the piano while singing a song. It was unexpected that Octa sang the song as he moved from his seat to approach Rian who was smiling.
Alex and Rico stared at each other before singing. The four of them sang together making the people who were holding the lights scream in excitement. It turned out that the golden colored lights were held by the students of their generation. After they finished singing, they embraced each other.
"The three of you don't want to say what's that to me? "
Alex and Rico laughed while Octa smiled at Rian's insinuating question.
"Don't make anyone have a heart attack, happy birthday. Hope you get sane soon. " Say Octa while hitting Rian's shoulder slowly.
Rian grinned wide.
"Gue was really shocked, your anti-mainstream birthday. Happy birthday, grow up fast and don't keep me dizzy. "
Alex hugs Rian and makes Rian chuckle. People seem to be cheering. While Rico kicked Rian's leg and made Rian grimace while still trying to smile.
"Gue's shocked, b*b*! You want my life to be your birthday gift, so? Fucking lo! I hope you can't stop my excitement. Happy birthday, damn it! " Rico curled Rian's neck and scrambled the top of Rian's head with his fists.
That night turned out to be very good.
Flashback Off
Octa sighed again smiling as he leaned against the wall with his head turned up. The beautifully patterned ceiling reminded him even more of those times.
"That birthday party really impressed me the most, the deck. After that you really sought the agency because it went viral. And you end up being a singer, a famous actor too. I'm proud of you, deck. "
"I'm sorry that I didn't have time to tell you my identity, but I really want to listen to you call me brother kayak first. " Slowly slow.
His eyes were glazed over and his eyes closed. Octa sighed, his heart was really sore given that his sister was gone for good.
"Sister! "
Octa's eyes suddenly opened.
