After eating chicken noodles, we went straight back to the office. Jakarta's traffic is loaded with congestion makes us unable to stop by various places.
"Weekend this we yuk road?!" bring Ditya. "Today we're just eating chicken noodles and we've got to get back to the office. It feels like a minute. I still want to get to know you more closely."
Did he want to know me more closely? What was my dream last night?
"Hm... I set the schedule first with Bima. Where are you going?" my many.
"It's Saturday. Not far away, just a charity event. You wanna come?"
"charitable ways? Well, maybe too. What can I help you with? What can be donated?" ask me with passion.
Ditya smiled at me who was so excited by the idea he proposed. "So there'll be a bazaar there. Usually there are items made by brothers who live in the Panti. If you like it, you can buy it. Yes, consider it buying at once charitable. Wanna?"
"Now... I want.." I nodded my head many times so excited.
"Yaudah try to ask Bima first, how is your schedule. Let's not clash!"
"OKAY. I asked first. Just a minute!" I called Bima to ask about my schedule this week.
"Saturday huh? There is an endorse milk drink packaging products anyway." replied Bima from the end of the phone there.
"Can you make kids too?"
"could. For all ages. Why?" ask Bima.
"When we shoot it at the Orphanage, what about Bim? I happen to have a show going to the Orphanage. There's a bazaar. Try asking the same endorse, want not the concept at Orphanage? Endorse all of charity, Bim. Later my endorsement fee for me to donate to Orphanage." I stared at Ditya who continued to look at me closely. I smiled and Ditya returned my smile.
"I tried to do it first, Ra. I connected first yes. Your idea is good. How are you going to the Orphanage?" ask Bima from the other end of the phone.
"Actually this was inspired by Mr. Ditya's invitation." I glanced at Ditya who was focusing on the driver while listening to my conversation with Bima.
"Sir Ditya? How can?"
"Later to tell! Mr. Ditya took me to the Panti for the Panti children's bazaar. I'm afraid the schedule clashes with our filming schedule, so I ask you first. If you think so, we can shoot at Panti and I can go there too. No one was harmed, right?"
"Are you the same Mr. Ditya now?" apparently Bima was still curious about my closeness with Ditya.
"Later, I will tell you. You're at home not tonight? We have to voice in the video we made yesterday. I'll go to your room after work."
"There was. Yaudah will tell me everything's the same as me!"
"Yes baffles!" I also ended my conversation with Bima and then looked back at Ditya who now seemed to frown on her forehead hearing I was going to Bima's room.
"You used to play in Bima's room?" ask Ditya.
"Yes... Very often. Bima's room is like our workspace both anyway. I go there often. Bima's parents also used to see the closeness of the two of us." I replied honestly.
"Are you and Bima really not have their own space to work? I think your income is now enough to rent a shophouse so you can work in a shophouse that must be more comfortable than Bima's room, right?"
"Yes anyway. But, Bima and I have agreed to finish our work in Bima's room only. The room was complete with editing equipment and I easily accessed it. Bima's room was located on the top floor of his parents' house that I could access through the front stairs. That's why we never rented a workspace. The only people working on this project are Bima and me. No need to rent a shophouse that only spends big costs."
Ditya seemed to want to refute again my words, but it turned out that He had paused his intention. "Later after we get married you will definitely focus more on being a selebgram, right?" Ditya apparently shifted the question to the future of both of us after marriage later.
"Of course you can dong. As long as you can divide the time between work and taking care of the household, I have no problem. If indeed you want to stay at your Papa's house, I also agree. Yes, most of all I have to go back and forth to Papa Kusuma's house. You know, I'm their only child. I don't want to make my parents lonely since we got married."
Truly a devoted child of both parents. More and more children are abandoning their parents. But Ditya still thinks about his parents.
I smile. "certain. Wherever my husband lives, that is my home. So, even if you're asking to stay at your parents' house, I'll just do it!" I was embarrassed when I said it.
We are both like two people who are in the lead-up to marriage. Talking about things we didn't know when the wedding would take place.
Ditya returned my smile. "I'm happy to have a wife who is obedient to the words of a husband like you. Wait for me to propose to you!"
Waw....
Those words kept ringing in my ears all day.
While returning to work at the office, I kept turning Ditya's words in my head over and over again. "Wait for me to propose!"
Wuaauww...
I'm so happy.
Till...
"Ra, can I ask you to approve this budget?" arya asked me to break my beautiful daydream.
"Why should I?" askaku.
"I tried to apply for a budget but was always rejected. That's why I want to ask you for help. If you agree, everyone will agree." Arya said.
Why the hell is Arya so confident that I'm going to help her?
Hello??? I'm not the old Lara! I'm not the stupid Lara that you can use for your sake!
"If I don't want to?"
"Don't dong, Ra. Pleases... You help me out... You can read the budget I made. Everything is important and in accordance with the budget, Ra." persuaded Arya.
"Oh yeah? Why don't you ask for the same budget as the financial part? Why should it be the same with me? I don't want to!" reject me without seeing the file Arya gave me.
"Please Ra's. Only you can help me. We're being chased by time and this order needs acc to be done. I've asked for the same financial part but they say the company's budget is being pressed to a minimum." Arya then opened the file and showed me the large cost that he proposed. "You see, later this cost will return capital if the products we make are sold in the market."
Even though I just worked at Papa's company, I'm not stupid. If the financial section rejects the Aryan budget, it means that the budget he submitted does not make sense aka ngaco!
"Heh Yes, grandmothers can also know salto. If the name of the product sold in the market will be a lot of profits and over time can return capital if consistent. Your product is still new, its market share is not yet broad. Budget big like this who wants to be responsible for signing autographs?"
"Therefore I ask you for help, Ra. Please..."
"Sorry Yes, I can't get caught up with your crafty idea anymore! Hye!"
I left Arya contentedly in my heart.
