ARUNGGA (2nd chance )
21. Apologize...
The introductory event with the new center leader has also been completed. Previously all employees were allowed to shake hands with Zahira.
When it was Arungga's turn to shake Zahira's hand, both of them seemed misbehaved. For a moment the two stared without talking other than just staring at each other with a gaze that was difficult to describe. Arungga flinched as a colleague touched his back while teasing him.
"The Shabby Ar. Naturally, the brother of the new Boss Bu Kita is very beautiful anyway," whispered Dimas.
Arungga ignored Dimas's words. He stretched out his hand and was greeted warmly by Zahira.
"Welcome, Mom. I hope to work with Mom someday" Arungga said with a smile.
"thank you. And when that happens, I hope we can be a solid team" said Zahira kindly.
Arungga nodded and shifted to give his colleagues a chance to congratulate Zahira.
Afterwards the invited guests are welcome to enjoy the dishes that have been served by the organizing committee. Arungga and his colleagues did not waste this opportunity. They happily mingled with all the employees from different divisions.
From his seat Zahira could see the enthusiasm of the employees. The hall was filled with laughter from employees who were joking.
"Don't daydream dong Ra. It's your happy day," said Chess sir.
"Yes Kek" said Zahira with a smile.
"Grandfather knows you're not ready for all this. But Grandpa wants you to start learning from now on Ra. And you saw it. Everyone welcomes you with open arms. So your guess that the employee will refuse to be led by you is a big mistake. Today is not the gender that is the benchmark. But who can show his skills and prove his expertise, that's what will be a winner," said Mr. Chess encouraging.
"Yes Cake. But Grandfather was mistaken this time," Zahira said as she sipped a soft drink before him.
"Oh yeah. Where's Grandpa wrong?" ask Chess sir while frowning.
"It turns out not everyone welcomed me with open arms. There are also those who welcome me with force and show hostility" said Zahira.
"Then anyway. Who is he, try to show the same person Kekek," pinta pak Chess.
"Ga. I don't want to make that guy big head because it has succeeded in making me tremble. Later he thought that I was just a weak woman who was still mad at his Grandfather when he was bullied," Zahira said while sneering.
Zahira's words inevitably made the Chess sir laugh amusedly. He also broke the hair of his favorite grandson.
"Will Grandpa go back to the room now?" asked Zahira a few moments later.
"A little while more, son. Grandfather still wants to wriggle them to spend the dish we prepared," said Mr. Chess with a smile.
"It's like I'm going to the toilet for a while, Kek," said Zahira, who was taken by her grandfather.
Then Zahira stepped out of the hall into the ladies' room. Tantri who saw Zahira coming out of the hall rushed to follow.

Zahira appears to be washing his hands in the sink after throwing away the wish earlier. Sometimes he looks in the mirror while tidying his hair.
Suddenly Zahira stops her action when she sees Tantri's reflection in the mirror. The girl is seen standing right behind Zahira as she continues to observe Zahira.
After a long sigh Zahira rushed out of the toilet. His steps came to a halt as Tantri grabbed his hand then clasped it tightly.
"What else is Tan?" zahira asked without looking at Tantri.
"Sorry Gue Za" said Tantri.
"I'm sorry for what?" zahira asked pretending to be clueless while pulling her hand from Tantri's grasp.
"Ck, why are you apologizing now. Is it because Lo know I'm the sole heir of JC so Lo hastily apologized. Would you do the same if I were Tan's nobody?!" zahira asked as she turned her body and looked at Tantri.
Tantri looks silent. He realized there was no point in defending because his mistakes had mounted. Because Tantri did not respond to his words, Zahira also seemed annoyed. He was ready to leave Tantri.
"But you're not gonna fire me, are you Za?!" ask Tantri loudly.
"Gue can't promise Tan. Your mistake in person may be I'm sorry. But Lo is late. Moreover, Lo also ngajak other employees and conspire to commit bullying. You don't know what it's like. So don't get me wrong if I find it difficult to forget everything and release Lo so soon," said Zahira quickly.
After saying that, Zahira turned her body and quickly left Tantri.
Without Tantri and Zahira noticing, their conversation was heard by Arungga who was sitting not far from them. Apparently Tantri and Zahira were talking in the hallway close to the park next to the hall where Arungga was located.
From his seat Arungga could see Tantri's disheveled face. The girl also repeatedly damaged her hair because of her annoyance.
Soon Tantri's colleagues came to him. They asked so many things that made Tantri even more upset.
"One-one can't do it?!" tantri Protest.
"Yes sorry. We're curious, '" said one of Tantri's colleagues.
"So how's Tan ?. Zahira .. um I mean, Ms Zahira would like to apologize Lo ga?" ask Tantri's partner.
"How do you think?. He said, what I and Lo all did was too late. Well from there you can guess what it means," said Tantri quickly.
"You mean, we're gonna get fired, Tan?" ask one of Tantri's colleagues to panic.
"It can be" said Tantri lirih.
"Keep me fired, how dong ?. Even though working with a large salary rich in JC is difficult..," said Tantri colleagues with teary eyes.
"Why is it the same. I was confused to say what," said Tantri while rubbing her face.
Suddenly one of Tantri's colleagues approached Tantri while extending both hands. Apparently the woman was intending to strangle Tantri.
"It's all because of Lo ya Tan !. If you don't ask us to bully Bu Zahira, surely we won't be fired!" said another Tantri colleague while glaring furiously.
"Kok because of me anyway. Kan Lo himself agreed ngebully because according to Lo he is worthy of use," said Tantri would not lose.
"I didn't say that. But Lo!" said Tantri's colleague angry.
"Lo first!" sahut Tantri is no less loud.
A heated debate ensued at that place. Nobody wants to give up because everyone feels right. The commotion attracted the attention of the security who immediately intervened to break them up.
In his place Arungga can only shake his head to see his lover was gang-raped by his coworkers. The action of Tantri and his colleagues was also a free spectacle material for employees who were passing in the place.
Verily, Arungga was ashamed of Tantri. All this time he deliberately survived an unhealthy relationship with Tantri just because he wanted to know the secrets and strategies that Haikal would make to bring him down.
In front of Tantri and Haikal, Arungga pretends to be friendly. Arungga was also relaxed when he heard Tantri talking to a man via telephone. Although Tantri does not admit who the man is, but Arungga knows if the man is Haikal.
And when watching the lover pressed because of his own actions, Arungga seemed to not care. He got up from his seat and left the place without looking again.
