The man with thick black hair was talking on the cellphone with his father. "Yes, Dad?"

[I want you to replace me for dinner with Mr. Li, Okay?] Mr. Adyaksa asked.

"Today?" Adam asked back.

[Yes. Your mother asked to be accompanied to Singapore. You know that if I refuse, it will be a long business] Mrs. Wursita's husband replied.

Adam immediately flashed a smile and remembered his mother's sulky nature. Once upon a time, Mrs. Wursita fell ill because of her anemia and would only eat when Adam came home to feed her. At that time, Adam had not returned to Menteng for almost two months, hindered by his work with OSG, which had just started.

Trias walked with Adam to the elevator door. "The meeting with Advance Advertising will be held today, Boss. Would you like the schedule to be postponed so you can meet them in person?" Trias asked.

"No need. I'll leave it with you. Who will come later?"

"Head of their Planning division," the pregnant woman replied.

    Morning arrived. Bianca had deliberately come early because she intended to meet the security guard on the night shift. Her desire to know the flower sender was still burning. After parking her maroon automatic motorbike, the woman approached a guard at the entrance of the building. Seeing the ID hanging from Bianca's neck, the guard recognized that Bianca was an employee in the building, so the man did not stop her. "Good morning, Ma'am," the man greeted her politely. "Morning, Mr. Eko," Bianca said after seeing the letters on the uniform the man was wearing. "So early morning, Ma'am?" Eko asked surprisedly. "Yup. Avoid the pollution from time to time, Sir," Bianca said pleasantly. "Mr. Eko was new here? I've never seen you before," Bianca said probing. "That's right, Ma'am. This is my first week and I get a night shift," Eko said. Bianca nodded as if she understood. "Well, yeah, Mr. Eko, did you also receive roses for me yesterday?" Bianca continued asking. Eko nodded and rep

  • Fall For Her   Chapter 1. Memories of Her

    One morning in a large lush green garden with iridescent colors, and the blue of the sky so pleasing to the eyes, a handsome man sat on a long white bench made of iron. He seemed so immersed in the contents of the book being read.Suddenly a pair of hands closed the man's eyes. A figure with a book in his hand was surprised, but his lip lines extended a smile. "Clarie!" he said.The hand's owner chuckled at her own behavior. After removing her hand from the man's face, she sat down next to the man who was her fiance. Casually, she leaned her head on the lover's shoulders. While her hands gently embraced the man's left arm."I love you. You know it well, don't you?" he whispered and kissed the top of his lover's forehead.However, the woman with long straight hair did not answer. She just smiled.Realizing that no answer was heard, the man changed his position in order to look at the two eyes of his loved ones. Clarie's sweet smile was clearly

    Clarissa and Adam have been sitting side by side on a long sofa. The man's eyes glared at his lover's beautiful eyes. If Adam did not make a sound either, it was a sign that Clarissa had to strike up a conversation."Honey, only you know better than anyone how important this job offer is to my career," Clarissa pointed out. Seeing Adam still silent, the young girl resumed her words. "I don't have much time to discuss it with you first," she lamented."Not even a phone call?" Adam cutted."That email came this morning, and ….""And you're immediately to receive it?" Adam urged."Yes, but ….""That means you never remember me. Such a huge decision and you are quick to accept it." Adam pointed out.Hearing Adam's words, Clarissa frowned and prepared to pour out her heart. "Why did you blame me now? This shouldn't be a big deal. Because we were just getting engaged. That means we're not really attache

    The dial was heard dozens of times until finally a woman's voice answered.[Adam] she called."Yes, Mom. Hassan said you were looking for me," Adam said.[Son, I never complained when you only gave me this number. But make sure your number is always on. Should I call Hassan first to find you? Looks like your assistant is worth more than your mother] Mrs. Wursita complained."Of course you don't have to, Mom. The number Hassan had was for the job. It's a private number. So last night it was low-bat to death. Once charged, I forget to activate. But I just activated it now. I'm sorry, Mom. Truly sorry," Adam said compassionately.[Just forget it, but do not repeat it! I was always worried that I wouldn't be able to reach you. Mom's worried. You know that, right?] Mrs. Wursita fretted."Yes, Mom. I won't do that again. Yesterday, I had an all day meeting, so I forgot to charge my phone," Adam asked for forgiveness again.[You'll get my ap

    The original warmth now felt a bit different. "So, when did you bring the future bride for me, Son?" asked Mrs. Wursita with a serious face.Adam was forced to make a smile to calm the middle-aged woman. "I will, Mom. No one can deny your son is good looking. What kind of girl do you want? Let me choose for you," Adam said confidently."Adam, I'm serious." Adam's joke became meaningless. Adam's face bore the expression of astonishment. While Mr. Adyaksa assesses that the atmosphere would be out of control if he let Mrs. Wursita continue the subject of daughter-in-law."Enough, both of you. Aren't you hungry? Let's eat first!" Mr. Adyaksa said as he rose out of his seat and made his way to the table."That's right. Let's eat first. You certainly haven't eaten, Son. Come!" Mrs. Wursita grabbed his son's arm and stepped together to where they would eat.In the dining room, there were two servants who stood not far from the table. However, a servant wh

    Adam had prepared himself for his mother's question. He calmly replied, "I'm too busy, Mom. No one wants to date someone who doesn't have time for romance." Adam showed off his sweet smile."Adam, are you still thinking of Clarissa?" Mrs. Wursita asked in a suspicious tone.The man misbehaved and replied, "I'm still working on it, Mom.""That's not okay, Son. That's not good for you. You should be more than willing to try. Three years have passed. Your ex is in the middle of nowhere and happy. But look at you? Still keep stuff from her. When would you forget about her?" the woman blurted out the son.Adam remembered that the mother meant something was still in her room."You can throw it away," Adam said."Oh, no! It must be you who drives them away. Not me. Mom taught you to be a good and strong man, but not the opposite. If it was such a trivial matter as throwing away an item that would only remind you of the past it should've been a long

    The elevator stopped on the sixth floor. Everyone in the small box was out with Adam. Adam walked alone, while others were in pairs or with friends, perhaps also with family.Before entering the glass door, some mid-air movie posters would welcome visitors. Two of them were Hollywood movies, "Mission: Impossible 5" and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens ". Then the other two were Indonesian movies, "Retroaktif: Single part 1" and" Bulan Terbelah di Langit Amerika."However, Adam chose a movie with a poster that had the face of Raditya Dika as the main focus. The man was not in the mood to think too much. He wanted to laugh and got carried away by the player's foolishness because of its plot. That's what Adam expected.Adam's hands were free. Unlike the hands of other visitors thronged with their cell phone screens. Adam left his phone in the office. At the moment he felt like he was separate from the job noise and he liked it. Maybe Hassan would be rushed into

    She heard Adam expressed his suspicions about the elevator being troubled. Then the woman inched to the corner of the room. With a fearful tone of voice and gaze she asked, "Jammed?"Before Adam could answer, the elevator lamp flickered and died at the same time as the tremor happened again. That time the human box was going out of control. For a moment they felt as if without gravity."Aarrgghh!" The woman screamed.And then the elevator stopped with a sound like a big bump. Adam was holding back his emotions in order to stay calm in that crucial situation. Numbers still show the fourth floor but no visible dart. Adam pushed a button to open the door many times, but nothing changed.Adam immediately pressed the emergency button to communicate with the officer out there. "Hello, hello, is anyone there? Anybody hear my voice?" Adam repeated many times. Still, no answer.As Adam tried to contact the officer, he saw the eyes of the woman in the elevat

    The man with a firm face was momentarily stunned by Luna Maheswari's invitation, who seemed eager to familiarize herself with him. Adam concluded with a smile, "Sure. But I have to check my schedule for tomorrow. I'll let Vina tell you later. Okay?" There was no reason for Adam to refuse or be unfriendly to anyone's invitation, including Luna. He just would prioritize which was more important. The rising artist's eyes sparkled with happiness. She spontaneously grabbed Adam's hand to express her gratitude. "Thanks, Adam. I'm really happy," she whispered with the sweetest smile. Knock! Knock!The door opened and revealed Hassan, who saw the sight of the boss's hand being held by the artist. "Oh, sorry to interrupt," Hassan said as he was about to close the door again, but Adam stopped him. Luna immediately let go of Adam's hand and smiled awkwardly.

    The next morning, Bianca was sitting with her arms crossed over her chest, her eyes staring straight into a clear glass vase filled with water with a few beautiful and fragrant yellow roses. Along with the flowers there was again a card with the initials A as the sender. The woman still had not guessed the direction of the sender's wishes. Yesterday at the reception desk, this time it was so bold to put the flower on the work table. It was possible for Bianca to ignore it again like before, but this time it was a little too much. She glanced at the card again, remembering the words on it, "Can we be friends?" she muttered. Ignoring all workers in the same room with her who exchanged glances because of the roses on her desk, Bianca went to look for Joko, the office boy who served on the floor where she worked. The woman went to the pantry room. However, she found no one there. On the way out, Bianca bumped into Amelia who just got out of the elevator. "Looking for someone, Bi?" Ameli

    The orchid successfully attracted the attention of the floor where Bianca stayed for work. They were very curious about Bianca's relationship with the person who sent the flower. Because during their experience working together, there were none stories of the romance that was heard from Bianca. That woman was known seriously in work, spat baseline, and rarely gathered with friends after work. Initially only Amelia knew the initials on the card was A. Now all the office knows. Not because Amelia was deploying it, but because Bianca gave them the opportunity to know it. The card was still there. Bianca did not get rid of it. So while Bianca left the desk, suspended some colleagues who like to gossip and peek at the card. So, the secret fan of the initials was spreaded.

Four men entered the room and prepared to report. "I told Trias that she will focus on holding the OSG on my behalf starting next week. And she needs one of you to help him there. Adam pointed at Adi and Andhika. "Who's in?"The two young men in front of Adam exchanged glances. But they could not decide. Then Adam intervened so that the decision would not be too long taken. "Hassan, who do you trust to work with your wife? Adi or Andhika?" The boss asked. Without a thought, Hassan answered Andhika. And yet, Adi suddenly chimed, "So, don't you trust me, Sir?" "Andhika already knows a lot about our job. But you still have to study under my supervision," Hassan answered fiercely. Hearing Hassan's answer, Adi accepted that he was the newest one on the team. Adam agreed with Hassan's opinion."Okay. Then it's decided that Trias a

    Meanwhile at the headquarters of AS Corp, a room where Adam's five assistants worked, Trias stood up from her chair and shouted something, "Where's Lucky now? How come he hasn't come yet?" That woman initially only served as a secretary, but since Adam started his own company called OSG, he made Trias also become Adam's assistant. There besides Trias, there was Hassan and two junior assistants, Andhika, and Adi. Meanwhile, Lucky had not come yet. Andika looked up. "Just now I passed by on the road. Lucky had an assignment from boss, he said. So he didn't go straight to the office," he explained. "Did he tell you where he went?" Trias asked."No. Well, that's Lucky!" Andhika cried while looking at the door. "Hi, Everyone. Miss me, don't you?" Lucky said. Lucky has been assigned to Samarinda for one week. "You must be gone for long.
