Danu Mahendra sat on Reza's single sofa workspace with his legs supported while tapping his fingertips to the back of the sofa beside him. His eyes straightened sharply at the face of his son Reza who was sitting restlessly nearby, constantly staring at the phone in his hand.
Not long after that there was a knock on the door.
“Log in!” yelled Danu, then lowered his leg.
Reza only glanced at a glance, then looked back at the screen of his phone. He refrained from contacting Galuh and hoped she would contact him first, but it seems like it will not happen because until this moment there is not a single call or text Galuh for him.
“Mr Mahendra.” Ratri entered with a stack of files in his hand and put them on the table. “This employee data file as you requested.”
“Ya, thank you.” Danu said while fixing the location of her glasses, before her outstretched hand took the file in front of her. “Have you told the female employee named Galuh Nanda that, if I wanted to meet her?”
Reza immediately raised his face, looking at Ratri with a frown upon hearing his papa mention Galuh's name in front of him.
Ratri smiled slightly at Reza while nodding his head, he could see the look of questioning on the face of the young man before him.
“Already, Sir. He will come here in half an hour,” said Ratri while glancing at the watch in his hand. “Is there anything I can do again for the current Master?”
“That means Galuh only has thirty minutes rest, maybe the woman will delay her lunch time. And it will come at half an hour this afternoon.” Reza monologues in his heart when he hears Galuh will come to his room soon.
“Enough, thank you once again Ratri. You can go out now,” Danu said without looking at Ratri, the woman immediately resigned and passed out of Reza's office.
“Papa any business Galuh why suddenly tell him to come here?” reza asked as he played his finger on the phone, ordering food for Galuh which he believed would not have been lunch when he came to his room later.
“You nanyaa?” Danu poked her lips.
“Ish, Papa. Reza is serious, Pa?” reza said again, then saved his phone after he finished ordering his food.
Danu chuckles at Reza's bent face, “You why, curious until the face is bent like that?”
“Yes weird, Papa suddenly came here and kept telling Ratri's mother to bring employee data files all.” Reza explained the reason. “If there is a work problem, Papa can say the same Reza, let Reza take care of everything so Papa does not need to come down directly to here.”
“Papa coming here does not mean there is a problem in this mall. Papa just wants to visit and see firsthand the progress that has been achieved this mall after being led by Papa's son,” said Danu replied to Reza's curiosity.
“Kan can Reza explain later at home, Pa. All data Reza love to Papa, so Papa does not need to come directly to this mall.”
Danu smiled broadly at Reza's words, “Papa know, that's not the real reason you don't want Papa to come to this mall. Relax, Son. Papa just wants to chat with your girlfriend.”
Danu glanced at the watch in her hand, to see if Galuh Nanda, the woman who had captured her son's heart was one who could value time well. It's only a few minutes to the exact hour and a half.
And the woman who was the talk between father and son is now standing at the door of Reza's office. Anxiety arose in his heart, thinking of what the intent of Danu Mahendra calling him to come there.
“Log in!” Danu smiled broadly when she heard a knock at the door at half an hour that afternoon.
Galuh opened the door and stepped in and then closed the door behind him. Reza sat watching as Galuh stepped in and smiled for a moment at Danu. He could see the surprised light from Galuh's eyeballs when he saw his presence there.
Galuh's heart thumped as he looked at the man's face as it flashed in front of him, without greeting without a smile. Flat!
Galuh swallowed his saliva with great difficulty, like something was stuck in his throat. He tried to be calm, in front of him Danu Mahendra the owner of the mall where he worked sat quietly watching him.
“Please sit down, relax. Don't be that tense, just ignore the people around us. Breathe in, well like that.” Danu's words that sound friendly but firm are still not able to unravel the tension in Galuh's heart.
“Ish!” Reza snorted bitterly, glancing at his papa who seemed to enjoy the tension on Galuh's face.
Galuh exhaled, he must remain calm. It was not Danu's eyes that kept watching as if judging her that made her become cold and tense like this. Galuh knows the cause now, all because of Reza's presence in the room.
“We meet again,” Danu said starting a conversation while reviewing a smile.
Galuh muttered politely and smiled back, he clasped his phone tightly and almost jumped from his seat when he realized the phone in his hand was shaking.
Your face is pale, don't strain. Papa's not a bad guy!
Galuh sighed, turning to Reza who was sitting half-down her face. Danu's smile dikulum noticed the attitude of the two young people nearby.
You haven't had lunch yet, answer me!
Galuh sighed again. It was not polite if he was dealing with Danu Mahendra who was asking him to talk, he was busy answering messages with Reza.
Danu's next question made her breathe a sigh of relief, she delayed replying to Reza's message. Although he had seen Reza staring back at him.
“Are you happy to work at this place, Nanda?” danu asked in a subtle tone, he leaned back in his chair as he continued to look at the girl in front of him.
“Ya?” Galuh was surprised to hear Danu call him by his last name, not used to it but he tried to accept it with a smile. “Thank you, Mr.”
“I've seen your data file, and you're the one who deserves to get this promotion.”
“Our company Trijaya Mahendra as the owner and developer of this mall is doing promotion for three employees who excel in their work.”
“Each selected employee will get a job placement at the mall that has been designated for him, and those selected will get support facilities for work comfort. One of them, the shelter. If the distance of home and place of work is far away, then the company will facilitate with a home stay for the employee.”
“And as a form of our appreciation for your hard work and efforts in advancing the mall so far, the company also conducts an entertainment program that is employee picnic. For the destination city follows and will be discussed together. I'm asking you to coordinate this event, how is Nanda. Are you willing to accept this responsibility?”
“I'm ready, Mr.” Galuh smiled widely.
Congratulations, you're up in office.
Galuh turned to Reza, and blushed in embarrassment as the man blinked one eye.
