Chapter 3: Daydreaming

"Ehmm dad got sour fruit." dad joked showing his funny face like sourness.

"Iiih father, this is fun, ma'am." I said trying the fruit my father had eaten and it turned out to be as sweet as what I ate.

Mom immediately hit dad on the shoulder for teasing him. My heart was happy to see mom and dad like that. Always full of laughter and love for each other at their no longer young age.

"Ouch I overslept." I was so surprised this morning I woke up and saw the clock hands pointing to 6.10 WIB.

Take a shower and dress up as fast as lightning and hope you're not late for a meeting at the office. Immediately I used the go-jek application to quickly go to work.

"Why don't you tell your mom and dad that you have a meeting, son?" Dad said seeing that I was nervous and still waiting for the motorcycle taxi driver who hadn't come yet.

"Sorry I forgot." I said slowly.

The mother from the dining room gave me a glass of warm milk so that my stomach would not be empty and there was no way I could enjoy breakfast in this short time.

Even though when I showered and dressed, I already smelled the delicious fried rice made by my mother.

"Thank you mom." I said finishing warm milk from mother.

Then I immediately said goodbye to my father and mother to see the motorbike of the motorcycle taxi driver who had come to pick me up.

"Be careful kid." Mom's message took me to the terrace of the house.

"Yes ma'am." I kissed my mother's hand and also on my father's.

Hopefully I can catch up on time and wave to mom and dad who are still on the porch.

Hope you don't get stuck in traffic jams so you can get to the office on time.

"Shenna…" I heard a familiar voice.

"Your bag also just arrived?" I asked somewhat relieved to see it. There is a friend with the same fate who also overslept the meeting this morning, hehehe

And Tasya nodded slowly, looking very tired, it must be the same as me who hurriedly left the house.

"Come on, Shenna, we have to quickly get into the meeting room." Tasya said pulling my arm.

We both ran like being chased by a ghost without looking around because what was in our minds was that we had to go in and sit down to take part in the discussion in the meeting.

Thankfully the meeting hadn't started even though we were struggling to catch our breath, Tasya and I were a little relieved not to be penalized for being late.

"You guys are so compact." Ryan joked closer to me and Tasya after the meeting.

I just grin while enjoying the cake that is available in the meeting room. Not bad with a few cakes to prop up my stomach that hasn't been filled with breakfast. Tasya who sat next to me was also engrossed in enjoying the cake.

"Even though we didn't have an appointment?" Tasya nudged my shoulder.

I almost choked because of his nudged hand and quickly I reached for the mineral bottle. Don't cough just because the cake is still left in your throat.

Of course it can be embarrassing and become the material for Ryan's jokes later, who always makes fun of me and Tasya. But behind his playful nature there is still a good side to him as our friend.

"You guys still here?" asked Mr. Hans to approach us who were still in the meeting room.

"Yes sir." Ryan replied, who also enjoyed the cake.

Then Mr. Hans joined us and discussed the results of this morning's meeting. Even though Mr. Hans' position is higher among us, he always positions himself the same as us.

The character of Mr. Hans who is so humble to all colleagues in this office and his fatherly spirit also sometimes becomes a place to vent when we have problems so we all respect him very much.

"What are you thinking about, Shenna?" asked Mr. Hans seeing me who was caught daydreaming.

"No sir, I'm currently reading the chat." I said nervously. Immediately closed the phone afraid that Ryan would be curious and sure enough...

"From your boyfriend, sir." Ryan joked laughing teasingly me.

"You're starting to have fun." Tasya asked quickly to defend me.

Mr. Hans also just smiled when he heard our conversation, which was always lively when we got together and teased each other.

And it's stupid why I can't say anything just silent as if to justify what they discussed about me.

"Vero too, why chat me." I cursed in my heart.

This man always chats or calls to find news about me and that's probably because we used to be close to each other.

Or you could say we're just good friends even though we don't have a relationship that's more than just friendship.

"See sir, Shenna is still daydreaming." teased Ryan again.

Tasya immediately hit Ryan's shoulder who was still not satisfied with teasing me and I just smiled seeing Tasya's actions who were always my helper.

In the end, Mr. Hans looked for other topics of conversation and this time started to get serious again to discuss the material explained in the meeting.

Also, Mr. Hans asked Ryan to quickly summarize the results of the meeting earlier in the form of a report, Tasya and I glanced at each other, smiling seductively.

"So don't like fun." I whispered seeing Ryan getting dizzy with his duties.

Tasya laughed and teased Ryan who was scratching his head in response to the two of us. Mr. Hans just smiled then left us in the meeting room.

"Cindy, why did I forget to reply to the chat again." I complained that I received a chat from my best friend.

Actually, I'm lazy to respond, I'm sure Cindy will discuss about that person again, why does there have to be a story about him? It's not that I'm not happy to meet my best friend.

"Ukfhhh---Cindy I hope you don't talk about him." I said in my heart while replying to my best friend's chat.

Even though I really miss meeting my best friend who I haven't seen for a long time and why is it when we have time to tell a story about him...

And finally I made a promise to Cindy that hopefully there will be no obstacles so that Cindy and I can let each other go. Being able to have fun with your beloved friends will definitely make you happy.

"Okay, sir, I'll take you to the finance division." I said getting an assignment through the office's parallel telephone line.

Immediately I looked for documents in neatly arranged notes to be brought to the finance division and postponed other office tasks that were still piled up on my desk.

But I had not had time to move from my chair suddenly my cell phone rang and it was Vero's call.

"I'm at the office? Can't do it this afternoon." I answered a call from Vero.

"Yes, will you let me know when you have time?" Vero said sounding disappointed because he could not meet him.

After I said yes and was about to give him the news, I hung up the phone from Vero. Thank goodness he understood my refusal.

It's also impossible for me to meet him today, especially since I have to work overtime because I still have work to finish after office hours.

"Oops, this document must have been waiting." I said consciously remembering the task I had not completed.

I quickly moved from my room to the finance division and almost bumped into one of my co-workers who was also about to leave his room.

We just nodded and smiled at each other, it seemed we were both in a hurry with our respective jobs.

"Sorry ma'am, I just delivered this document." I regretted when I got to the finance division.

"Ok, thank you." he replied smiling.

I smiled and thanked you too.
