"Anything is my attempt to say 'I'm fine'. Still can't shake my disappointment in him." ~ Arunika Baskoro.
...***...
Arunika stared at her reflection from the mirror with her eyes still looking bloated. Wearing formal clothes that he rarely do as this morning, except if there is an important event or important meeting that requires him to wear a blezer and skirt model span combined with shoes heels 5cm, heel, he rarely wears it on both feet.
But that face looked extremely pitiful and uninspired by what happened last night. He was relaxed though in mind still going around about the interconnectedness of Adikara, Zayn and Violet. Then himself.
Himself?
Arunika was sizzling slowly. "What are they playing behind my back?"
He took a breath and moved from his seat. Both of his feet stepped towards the bed taking a hape checking orders and then picking up the laptop he had prepared to make a presentation in front of the company's top brass.
Had found the bathroom floor wet, Arunika guessed her husband was up early. She no longer wears her husband's clothes. What's more, Arunika remembers very well Adikara only works from home.
Although unclear and curious, what work makes the man as rich as he is now. Arunika did not want to bother to find out like seoarang who was cool about her husband's life, although curiosity continued to stick in his mind.
Hearing the footsteps from the heels of the wife's shoes. Adikara put the coffee glass that he had asked for earlier to the mother, when she arrived at the dining room. Adikara looked back, because since then, he did not find the voice of Arunika who was usually very carefree to see her existence.
He found Arunika with a flat gaze cast on Adikara. The gaze that Arunika had never given him even though she was upset about dominating her towards Adikara's attitude all along.
"Good morning" said Adikara.
There was a strange and a sense of strangeness that stuck in Arunika's mind this morning. He found Adikara wearing formal clothes like an office official.
It looked very neat wearing a tight knotted tie hanging between the collar of her husband's shirt.
"Again," he replied flatly. My sister felt she was really punished. Arunika was cold towards him.
"Aren't you sitting?"
Seeing Arunika still standing and carrying a laptop bag and his briefcase, suddenly made Adikara confused.
Arunika. "Agh, I'm in a hurry to get to the meeting. No need to transfer either. I'm leaving."
Arunika turned her body about to move forward. But Adikara's hand hurriedly pulled her wrist while standing up. "Run, I'll take you."
Arun tries to pull Adikara's hand away. "This morning my feelings are no good. And hunger doesn't strike my stomach or my stomach. Please don't force me."
"I'm taking it," he repeated.
Arun shakes. "No need."
"Arun," Adikara's call made the woman turn to him.
"I can go alone. Please give me some time for myself that is not well." He faintly pulled the corner of his lips and had no intention of staring at Adikara for long. "I'm leaving."
Arunika really pulled her hand from Adikara's grasp without the usual smile or long babble Arunika chanted her husband.
A moment Adikara sculpted to highlight the departure of his wife. The woman he hurt last night unconsciously did not he should vent to a woman as good as Arunika. The jet-black long hair was tied in a ponytail following Arun's hasty-looking gestures until it disappeared from his sight.
"Sir?" reprimand the Mother took Adikara out of her daydream.
Adikara. "Yes, Mommy?"
"What about breakfast, sir? Can the boy put it on the table?"
"No need, Ma'am. I went to work. Arun also uda go first."
The word 'go first' indirectly tells the Mbak about the situation this morning between him and Arunika.
"Good, sir."
My sister rushed to get her car. She never let Arunika out alone without her as long as they were married.
The man frantically ambushed himself, quickly drove the car out of the parking area of the house, immediately chasing Arunika who he guessed was riding an online motorcycle.
"He's upset. Really angry, Di. What do you have to do?"
Driving with speed until some road users curse Adikara, also occurs without knowledge.
The most important thing for him now was to get Arun who was sitting behind his brother ojol. Wearing a tight span skirt above the knee and carrying a laptop bag over his thigh, making Adikara really inexhaustible thought of his behavior that affected Arun.
Arun was unaware that her husband had been following her from behind. Only one vehicle different before finally Adikara lost a considerable distance, to make Adikara frustrated and hit the steering wheel.
"Damn!"
Arriving at his room, Arun is greeted sweetly by the Broccoli gang.
"Welcome, Mama's Broccoli's son," welcomes Ettan first.
Arunika smiled behind the still unstable feeling. "Thank you, everyone."
"Wait a minute" prevent Dita from holding Arunika's shoulder.
All eyes glanced at the two who stood looking at each other. Arunika understood what Dita found on her face. No matter how much his attempt to disguise the shape of the old eye crying last night with a make-up tool, Arunika still failed. The proof of both eyes Dita is very wild can find traces of damp in both eyes.
"Why are your eyes, Run? You cry?" Dita's question managed to attract Gala attention. He stood up instantly and approached Arun who was now looking down deeply.
"Why are you, Run? kasi knows me. Who made you think you were this?"
As sweet as that Gala with the silence of Arunika. Elee then approached Arun and the others. He hugged Arun's shoulder, as the woman chose to be silent.
"Kill know us, Run, if you have a problem" said Eee.
"Yes, Run? who did this the same? tell me. Do not accept the cave you are being diginikan. A sister?" shoot Ettan again. This man's mouth is indeed difficult to make on the brake or guarded. What was first in his mind, must be what he let out raw without being filtered first.
Arunika raised her head while smiling at the four. Pias sad on his face can not be hidden from the four people who have known him very well.
"Later on, let's talk. I'd like to prepare myself for a presentation later," he said.
"OKs. If indeed the Adikara who made you cry like a gini, Run. Get ready for him. I'll hold him accountable later."
Gala's teeth chattered with her tightly clutching hands down there. She chose to return to her seat with emotion. The four people looked at Gala and understood Gala's attitude towards Arun. Underline 'Broccoli Gang'.
Arunika again convinces the four of them to return to their respective positions, before she again approaches Gala to discuss their work. Especially meetings that will be attended by company officials to test their capabilities in the field that Arunika holds.
"Rone ... Come on." Yanti's mother as the secretary of the production department called Arun to prepare to enter the meeting room.
"Good, Mom"
Arunika stood up and brought her laptop. The Broccoli gang stood up and gave hugs and prayers for a moment, so that Arunika could master everything in the meeting room later. Whatever the question for him later, they hope Arunika straightforward to answer everything.
"Thank you, you guys," said Arun returning their embrace.
"Spirited yes, Ma. We're there for you." Dita tightened her embrace for a moment.
"alright. Had enough. Now, let Arun get out of here" said Gala, who first broke her embrace. "You can do it, Run. Fight."
In accordance with the spirit of Arunika, now the woman has been in the meeting room with all members and employees of each division, because it is not only Arunika who is the only employee who will be selected for the increase in office. And here, Arunika did not expect to meet her husband's family.
Papa Suryo and his twin sisters Adikara and their two younger siblings from Papa Suryo. Had to say hello to the potluck, because it does not want to make other employees know who Arunika actually in the SO Corp company.
"Before we start this meeting. We will await the arrival of one of the largest shareholders in the SO Corp company. He will be recognized by us to fill a position that has not been held directly in the position of President Director of the company."
The sound of a person's steps towards the meeting room door became the moderator's guess.
"Well, the talk has come."
Everyone turned to the door without exception. Arunika pulled both of her eyelids up. The look in his eyes collided with Adikara's gaze which instantly highlighted Arunika. His wife was really surprised at what he found just now.
Sure enough, Adikara is the largest shareholder in the company ever led directly by his late father.
"Please sit down, Mr. Suryo's sister."
Permitted by the moderator, Adikara certainly step up and greet his father and other company officials politely. Then, he sat in an empty chair right in front of Arun who had no longer wanted to look at him. The woman was now downcast hiding an uncomfortable expression.
After the meeting began and some discourses were brought by the moderator before finally Arunika's turn to share the material he had prepared overnight. Without him knowing since earlier, Adikara did not take off her gaze from the beautiful face of Arunika who was now wrapped in blezer. Looks very authoritative.
She avoids me.
It is true, Arunika chose to keep staring at the laptop since the meeting began. The usual face Adikara found from the innocence of his wife, he no longer found since at home.
Arunika stood up from her seat. "Before I thank you to the Father and Mother who I respect for giving me the opportunity to stand here as one of the entrusted candidates. But I want to apologize if I want to withdraw from this position selection. Thank you." Thank you."
Arunika bowed to pay homage. Before the end, he brought the laptop out of the room even though many people were wondering with the attitude that was done just now.
A sister? he felt hit hard by Arun's attitude just about his welcome in the company where his wife worked. Adikara's family's eyeballs were now aimed at him.
Before being completely bombarded by his family. The sister got up from her seat, came out of the room to chase after his wife.
Where is the Arunika I know?
Seriate.
