The Passion of the Segara
Bonus Part #1

The sun is high, the day is getting longer.

A woman walks confidently into Arkha's corporate office building. He held a row containing lunch in his hand.

"Good day, everybody!" greet the woman smiling kindly to all the employees in the office. Some people seem to return his greeting. However, some people just look indifferent not responding.

After the woman passed, two female employees whispered about her.

"Do you think Sandra will conquer Mr. Rendy's heart?" grin one of the employees to his friend.

"We'll see later. At most Sandra will retreat by itself! Mr. Rendy is the coldest man in the world, even more than Antarctica," said his friend also underestimated.

"I salute Sandra as well. He's very confident approaching a polar bear like Mr. Rendy. If I was ogah yes. It's cold, never smile, never grumpy, grumpy again!"

"Yes, I'm also ogah. Honestly, I had always suspected that Mr. Rendy could have a disorder. Let's not say he's a same-sex lover, so all this time he's been very cold as all girls,"

"Ush ..., don't just bacot! Suspended by Mr. Rendy, you'll be finished!"

"Ha .., ha ..., ha ...," the two female employees chuckled.

During this time whispers of employees who gossip about Rendy are often heard. Many of them sneered at Rendy's very cold attitude and rarely smiled especially to the opposite sex.

In front of Rendy's room, Sandra approached someone who was there.

"Sir, can I see Mr Rendy?" sandra asked politely to a woman whose desk was in front of Rendy's study. The woman was the Executive Secretary in the office.

"Wait a minute, Sandra. I tried to confirm to Mr. Rendy first. Hopefully Mr. Rendy is not busy!" greet the secretary.

"Mak Sandra please sit down first" the secretary continued and invited him to wait.

Sandra then sat in the waiting room chair in front of Rendy's workspace.

A few days after Arkha and Mutiara went on their honeymoon, Sandra visited Rendy at the office to bring her lunch or take her out to eat together. There was a desire to get closer to Rendy in Sandra's mind.

While waiting for that, a smile on his lips when remembering an incident on the day of the wedding Arkha and Pearl.

Flashbacks

One by one the rundown of Arkha and Mutiara wedding events went smoothly, until now the last event most awaited by everyone is the throwing of bridal flowers and photos together.

The tradition of throwing bridal flowers is indeed believed to have important meaning. Flowers for the wedding held by the bride is a symbol for fertility and also beauty.

When the flower is thrown and obtained by someone who is single, it is expected that it will soon be able to catch up with the bride to get married and get a happy life. Meanwhile, if obtained by invited guests who already have a boyfriend or lover, it is expected that they can immediately follow the two brides to the guarantee.

That is why, many of the invitees there, especially those who are still single who are ready to gather behind the bride and groom just before the flower toss will be held.

Just like Rendy. Arkha's ridicule of saying she's single acutely makes her feel careless, she desperately wants to get the flower so that her desire to have a life partner can be realized soon.

For a moment Arkha and Mutiara looked at each other and smiled widely while preparing the cue to throw the hand bouquet behind them.

Rendy bowed lethargicly, the flower did not fall upon her, but was thrown far back.

"Ac ...!" ringis Sandra gasped to feel the flower arrangement hit her head. Quickly his hand immediately grabbed him and held him tightly.

From the beginning Sandra did not expect to get the flower at all. Therefore, he was very surprised and groggy when the flower was now in his grasp.

"Sandra ...! Sandra ...!" yelled some people there calling Sandra's name. The applause of the audience grew frenetic.

However, Sandra just stuck not knowing what to do. That was when his gaze was fixed on the figure of a man who had managed to steal his attention for several days.

Rendy, a cold man who always put on a flat face without ever smiling at the opposite sex had made his heart a little racing when they accidentally looked at him.

Slowly Sandra approached Rendy with a meaningful smile.

"This flower is for you, Rendy. I think you're better suited to it" Sandra sneered.

Rendy did not turn her head at all towards Sandra, she just slightly rolled her eyeballs turned towards Sandra and smiled flatly. He was well aware that at that time Sandra was mocking him.

"You don't have to make fun of me, Sandra! Singles are forbidden from denouncing each other!" rendy Ogt. However, a faint smile was etched on Rendy's lips back then.

Although sometimes Sandra's attitude looks installment in Rendy's eyes, but the woman is also quite able to attract his attention. His lively speech and never absent greet him, enough to impress Rendy.

Since then Sandra has been obsessed with approaching Rendy . Even he promised himself that he would try hard to break down the ice wall in Rendy's heart.

"Sandra, please come in, Ma'am!" The secretary let Sandra into Rendy's room but Sandra was still too dumbstruck in her daydream.

"Mak Sandra ...!" the secretary again.

"This is why people are dumb and smile themselves, huh? No more satan? Iiihh ...!" the inner secretary shuddered.

"Mak Sandra ...!" exclaimed the secretary once again which immediately made Sandra surprised and disperse her daydream.

"Ah ..., yes why, Ma'am?" sandra gapap.

"Sir Rendy's waiting, Ma'am. Please come in now!" the secretary repeated her words before.

"Oh yes, thank you, Ma'am," said Sandra nervously and blushed shyly, then quickly entered Rendy's room.

Inside the room, Rendy was still very busy with her work. His eyes stared at the laptop screen with a bent face.

Arkha has not been to his office for several weeks since he was enjoying his honeymoon with Pearl. During that time, it was Rendy who took over all the responsibilities of taking care of all the operations in that office.

Naturally, since Arkha reclaimed the company from Alfin three years ago, Rendy was the one who replaced Alfin as Executive Assistant Manager at Arkha company.
