The more Hate, the more Love
Move On

“She has been able to lock the room, even delivered to her room but does not fit. Then go down again for exchange, all the same room types are full,” explained one of the receptionist who waited for Zea at the lobby door.

Zea's steps came to a halt as she looked at the woman who was still talking while pointing at the officer.

“Mauren.”

Zea rushed over as there were already a few guests standing up to be served as well.

“Good day, Miss. Can shift to here, let other guests can still be served,” greet Zea with a smile.

The woman before Zea frowned as if she knew the officer. He sat down and looked at Zea.

“You Zea ‘kan?”

“Betul, My Zealia Love. Miss Mauren, your room has been prepared according to your order. Because it is currently full for similar types so we cannot provide exchange request.”

“Then so give me another room, type on it ...”

Zea stared at the tablet in her hand, “Hm, it just so happens that there are still some empty ones. We can provide but you have to add the difference in room price.”

Mauren yelled again and now pointed at Zea's face.

“Nona, do not embarrass yourself. I think you can afford to pay for the most luxurious room, so please accept the room we have prepared or exchange according to the provisions.”

Mauren stared at Zea in a black hotel uniform with a tie of patterned cloth around her waist. Hair styled with neat cuts and makeup polish.

Mauren finally took the key to the previous room.

“Why do you work here? If only you had accepted Kak Gavin's invitation to refer a year ago you wouldn't have bothered with this.”

“Good afternoon Miss Mauren, welcome to enjoy the service at your hotel,” exclaimed Zea did not want to respond to Mauren's remarks.

Mauren chuckles, “You think you will get Arjuna, after Mr. Abraham died you were kicked,” tauren taupe and then dragged his suitcase away from Zea.

I've been gone a year, too long, huh but Mr Abraham? Is it true that he is no more, inner Zea.

“Mother Zea thank you,” said one of the receptionists.

“Hm. Just do your job well,” said Zea then stepped into his study. As an assistant manager he gets a cubicle that joins other assistants.

The woman looked at the computer screen on her desk, opened one of the browsers and found out about Abraham. Zea even covered her mouth with both hands while reading the news of the man's departure.

“From the date means not long after I resign,” muttered Zea.

“Hopefully Arjuna can be wiser with the responsibility he has to carry,” he said again while looking at a photo of Arjuna on the screen.

There is still a rush of taste and disappointment implied. How not, after what Arjuna did, the man instead accused him of messing with Gavin. Either because of jealousy or possessiveness Arjuna has made their relationship chaotic and ended.

“Mbak Zea, come on. The meeting is about to start,” said one of Zea's coworkers aware of daydreams.

...***...

“Hah, Gavin Mahendra?” asked Arjuna while stopping his steps.

Currently he was heading to his own company meeting room, there was a client who had arrived to talk about the project.

“You sure he's Gavin Mahendra?” ask Arjuna again to his secretary.

“Yakin Sir, in his proposal is indeed Gavin's name as director.”

Arjuna went to Leo's study.

“Pak, how is the meeting?” bella asked, Arjuna's secretary was still following the man.

“Leo,” Arjuna said when opening the door.

Leo just shook his head looking at Arjuna's unchanging behavior.

“Kok can I will meet it Gavin. Gavin Mahendra!”

“Indeed why? What this company has is a new rule of choosing cooperation not with certain people. Cooperation runs if the terms and everything benefits both parties not because of its preparedness.”

Arjuna was just silent with the position already sitting leaning on the sofa.

“What are you guys doing? Can't move on yet? Even if you want to avoid not Gavin but the former Gavin.”

“Ck, shut up,” said Arjuna.

Bella was not far from the sofa.

Almira suddenly came out of a special room in Leo's study, where the man was resting. Surprised that Arjuna was there.

“What are you doing and why get out of there?”

Almira and Leo looked at each other.

“Don't go anywhere, we'll talk about this after I meet Gopin,” threatened Arjuna and then get off the couch.

“Sister Leo, how about this. Kak Juna must have misunderstood,” said Almira when Arjuna was gone.

“Ya just explain. Sit down, your brother says don't go anywhere, follow it,” added Leo who remains focused on his laptop screen.

“Wait where, there,” point Almira on sofa. “Or there,” point it again on Leo's lap.

“Don't fishing-buttons.”

“Not fishing, I asked.”

Arjuna and Bella are already sitting opposite Gavin and his secretary. Before greeting each other and shaking hands. Neither Arjuna nor Gavin were professional by discussing anything other than the proposal before them.

“The bottom line is that we are waiting for good news, for this cooperation,” Gavin said.

“Let my secretary who will contact your side for the continuation of this.”

“Of course, we are looking forward to it,” Gavin said again.

Arjuna just nodded his head while touching his chin. The work-related discussion was over, he was interested in asking Gavin something.

“By the way, you guys are referring right?” tanya Arjuna was very curious about Gavin's answer, because what was imprinted in his mind and what was believed from the dispute with Zea was Gavin's request for a reference.

Gavin, who knows what Arjuna's question means, concludes that Arjuna thinks he and Zea are back together. The man chose not to answer and gave a smile.

“No need to answer,” said Arjuna then stood up.

After the meeting was over, Arjuna went back to meet Leo and Almira. The couple was already sitting side by side facing Arjuna who had an unfriendly face.

“Before Papi leaves, he leaves you including your wedding. Then what does it mean you're out of there, you're ...”

“Kak Juna misunderstood.”

“Where to misunderstand.”

“I do come here every day meet Brother Leo.”

“Well this, keep lo apain Adek I Leo,” cecar Arjuna while the one in question is only silent with his flat face.

“Before I ‘kan want to persuade Brother Leo to talk about our problems but he was just funny. I was tired, so I decided to accept the love of my college friend.”

“Hahhh,” strangle Leo.

“Well, earlier I wanted to receive a phone and did not want to be heard Brother Leo so go into the room.”

“So you received a phone call from another guy?” ask Leo.

“Meet me with that friend of yours, this one can't be expected. His brain is afraid of love affairs,” taunted Arjuna.

“No way, I can talk seriously about Almira with you. I think he succeeded just the same business of the heart,” Leo said to Arjuna.

The debate is still ongoing. Gavin, who was in the car, got a call from Mauren.

“Hm,” reply Gavin.

“Kak, I just met a woman who has made my sister unable to move on,”, said Mauren on the other end of the phone.

“Who?”

“Zea, who else,” sahut Mauren made Gavin glued when he heard the name. Which he's having trouble tracking.

“Where?”

“Bali. I'll send you the details of the address.”
