The Three Chosen
172. Suraj's Substitute
Suraj's death shocked and shocked the office. Although Suraj is known as a person who is not friendly to women, but his performance so far is very qualified and reliable.
Viona who heard the news was very shocked and almost fainted. How not. When his heart was filled with flowers of love and hope, but all of it disappeared unexpectedly. The fact that makes Viona worse is when he finds Suraj's diary among Suraj's books in his study.
In the diary, Suraj writes about his love for Viona's best friend, the deceased
Katrina. About how he kept Viona by his side for unreasonable reasons.
“ I kept Viona as my staff just because I appreciate you and remember you Katrina. I felt holding it by my side would make me see it often which meant I could see you. Well, I saw you in Viona. I know this is crazy. But that's the truth. Losing you is the hardest and most painful thing in my life. Seeing you with another man makes me angry and jealous. I love you Katrina, with all my soul. I just don't want to hurt you even though I know my attitude hurt you. I'm sorry Katrina..” Suraj wrote.
Viona cries reading Suraj's handwriting. His heart ached and pleased. Sick because his love clapped one hand. Pleased because Katrina's feelings for Suraj were reciprocated.
“ What is this feeling. I thought Mr. Suraj was holding me because he wanted me. But I was wrong. Katrina.., Katrina. You saw Katrina. It's because she loves you too Katrina. Happy are you because you can be together.” muttered Viona in between sobs.
Tok tok...
Viona turned her head towards the door and saw Hanako standing there smiling. Hanako's slightly pale face indicates that she has not recovered from the pain she suffered.
“ Bu Viona...,” call Hanako down.
“ Hanako...,” greet Viona while scattering hugging Hanako tightly.
Then Viona cried in Hanako's arms. He ignored the tears that flowed just like that. The sad feeling he had been holding back from now on seemed to come loose when he saw Hanako.
“ She goes Hanako, she goes..” said Viona in Hanako's arms.
“ Yes Bu...,” Hanako said while rubbing Viona's back gently.
“ She didn't give me a chance to express my feelings this Hanako. He's evil...,” whined Viona.
“ Fate of life Mr. Suraj just got here Mom. God knows better what is best for His servant, right.?” ask Hanako to make Viona a testent.
“ You are right Hanako. Our destiny is in God's hands. I just didn't expect it so soon...,” said Viona softly while breaking her embrace.
“ Patience Yes Mom. God must have a wonderful plan for Miss Viona later. Mr. Suraj and Ms. Viona are not a match but maybe God is ready for the best match for Ms. Viona out there.
“ Aamiin, thanks to Hanako. Right now I don't think about that. I just want to clear Mr. Suraj's workspace. Do you want to help me..?” ask Viona.
“ With pleasure...,” Hanako said with a smile.
Then Viona and Hanako immediately clean up Suraj's desk. Tidy up all the books and photos and then store them in plastic container boxes. Afterwards Viona and Hanako take him out of the room to give to the Suraj family later.

Suraj's funeral was solemn. Faiq and Fatur were also present to witness Suraj's funeral that day. A cloud of grief seemed to paddle the faces of the employees where Suraj was based.
Viona, Laras, Fera and Hanako stand in a line to remove Suraj's body.
“ Finally no more Manager killer in our office.” Joked Laras.
“ Yes. Handsome killer manager..,” says Fera.
“ Cool and dictatorial Manager..” said Viona again to make the four laugh.
“ Who will replace Mr Suraj Bu..?” ask Laras.
“ I don't know Race. But I'm sure it feels different if it is led by someone else..,” said Viona while glaring.
“ At first must be strange, especially Ms. Viona has been working for years in the division with Mr. Suraj..,” said Laras, who is owned by Fera and Hanako.
“ How is Viona..?” ask Soni.
“ Soni..?” viona asked while rounding her eyes in disbelief.
“ Yes, how are you..?” asked Soni again while still extending her hand.
“ Oh Yes. Alhamdulillah good. You yourself how, it has been a long time no look at ya..,” said Viona while welcoming a helping hand Soni.
“ I'll be transferred to Vi's branch. But after Mr. Suraj died, I will return to our office again.
“ What does it have to do with Mr. Suraj's death with your move to Son's old office.?” ask Viona
not understand.
“ I was appointed to replace Mr. Suraj, Vi..” said Soni to surprise Viona, Laras, Fera and Hanako.
“ Replaces Mr. Suraj in the Labor Division..?” asked Viona doubtfully.
“ Yes. Why is...?” soni asked while looking at Viona.
“ Gapapa, I just didn't expect that I would get a replacement leader as soon as this..,” said Viona while smiling.
“ You are calm Aja Vi. I will not be fierce and stiff rich Mr. Suraj let alone the same woman as you.” said Soni while winking her eyes to make Viona face blushing.
Soni's words made Fera, Laras and Hanako look at each other and smile. They are happy that Viona has finally found Suraj's replacement.
Viona seemed embarrassed. Sometimes Viona and Soni get into serious talks. Until the funeral procession Suraj finished Soni still faithfully standing beside Viona. Then they are seen stepping together out of the cemetery area.
Hanako, Fera and Laras deliberately pull over as if giving Viona and Soni a chance to get close. They hope that Soni can be the port of Viona's last love, the beautiful and talented Assistant Manager.
“ May he be the man God sent for you Miss Viona. Aamiin...,” Hanako murmured inwardly while smiling.
“ His words Mr. Soni likes yes same Ms. Viona..,” said Laras with a smile.
“ It looks like that. Gapapa, they fit...,” said Fera.
“ The power they have known each other for a long time too. The proof was that Bu Viona was shocked when Mr. Soni wanted to be moved to our office again..,” said Laras.
“ They are old friends. Her late best friend Bu Viona was her former fiance Mr. Soni. Surely they already know each other..,” said Hanako.
“ Oh so, how do you know Hana...?” tanya Laras was suspicious.
“ I heard the senior employee in the story earlier..,” said Hanako is not happy because of leaches.
“ If his former fiancee has died, it means Mr. Soni single dong. Well, maybe not if they marry..?” ask Fera enthusiastically.
“ Maybe, as long as they are both single is not a problem..,” said Late.
“ Right. If they get married, I will give you a big gift later.” joked Fera.
“ Ck, free gift if there is no content..,” Hanako said while melengos greeted with laughter Laras.
“ Yes it contains dong Hanakooo..,” said Fera is anxious to make Hanako and Laras laugh.
The same laughter was also gracing the faces of Viona and Soni in one corner of the cafe where they continued their delayed conversation.
