NOT ME PART 3

EVER? 

This word often crossed everyone's head. However, the question to be the most important point is. Have you ever wondered why some people are so perfect? And why are some people so imperfect? No ... not the intention to compare the lives of everyone who is clearly different. We are beings mortal-which sure any of us ever or even often questioned it. If never, surely they are people who are always trying to be perfect, right?

And now look at the figure who is entering the skyscraper. Bak was already in the setting, when the step of the man who was dressed in the latest CHANEL's suit swept the contents of the room clean. Everything was quiet, I don't know. Nobody could make a fuss at that time. They bowed respectfully to the figure, then returned to their activities but in silence. In fact, most of them look like they are scared, like staring at the ghost of a horror doll like those in movies.

Aldo, the eldest of the Prasetya family, doesn't care at all. His steps still took the man with a sharp nose, sharp eyes and good looks like a Greek god to enter the elevator. Even the elevator he was riding was private. Only him, and a few of the CEO's confidants of the capital's largest stock company. And from a distance, before Aldo completely disappeared. Ben, his personal secretary has arrived and immediately gets into the elevator. Like a baby who immediately performs orders like a baby. Ahhh, what's the power to work to be lackeys of the rich? Apart from his large salary, it is a worthwhile experience. Nothing really special for Ben. To him, he only thought that the young master he was serving was his own son. Understandably, even though Ben is no longer young and is already married. He still wanted so badly to treat the figure who was standing behind him like his son.

"You're so handsome the boss today and a little more excited, are you that excited to hear that our company is on the rise?" chuckled Ben who was standing at the front. Stealing a glance at the young master from the elevator that reflected the figure behind him. While Aldo stared out of the elevator, the view of the city center that always managed to cheer him up. And Ben was right, he was a little excited this time. Regardless of the news of the rising prestige of the company he is leading, Aldo is excited because - because of someone he hasn't seen for quite a while. 

High ... The 

the sound of the elevator doors stopped at the 64th floor, the tallest building and the place for the higher ups of the GH-group. Aldo goes out with Ben. Several employees in the room immediately stood up and saluted Aldo. There are not many employees there, only about 3 people sitting in strategic positions. Aldo's trusted employees, Logan, Louis and Aldo's secret employee. The room on the 64th floor was completely different from the other rooms. White paint, floors with the best tiles, and a predominantly white room decoration. It's like, if the room was converted into a private apartment. It would be very suitable for lying down.

***

While in a room, Key and the three men who sat in a row with him had prepared a row of objects they needed. Laptop, pen and paper that 'Key' thought would not be used in this interview. When the other participants prepared all of that, Key instead only prepared a laptop in front of him. Feelings of Key or not, but he felt something that made him feel a little uncomfortable a few minutes ago. Key took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. It's strange, Key rarely experiences tremors at times like this. Except…

The footsteps that were heard entering the room made everyone stand up right away. Gradually, each of the empty seats in front of them also began to be filled by the old man who Key believed was the brand — the founders of GH-Group. Conglomerates in Indonesia are rarely exposed. 

"There is a fact that says that the GH-group carried out a financial manipulation. When was that time?"  

The question slipped out of nowhere at the sound of the final steps that had just entered the room. Sebastian, Louis and Qais immediately opened their laptops simultaneously and immediately searched for information regarding the first question. But not with Key, he was still staring at the figure of the young man who was sitting right in front of him. Taking the leader's chair from the round table. Key stared at him for a long time with a look still surprised. He was already sure that the reason for his uneasiness had to be because of this, while Aldo only raised one eyebrow. Staring at Key, the girl he hasn't seen for a long time. There was another feeling that flashed through Aldo's chest when his gaze met Key's calm yet calming gaze. 

Key then opened the laptop, just opened it. Not looking for anything from a different laptop screen like the other three friends. Key raged with his thoughts, that man. Key clenched his fists but kept his expression on his face so as not to lose his professional attitude. He still clearly remembered who the figure in front of him was, what the man had done.  

And all Key's movements, not a single one is out of sight of Aldo. The man just smiled wryly at the girl's fist. He believes it is not easy for Key to forgive him. Although, Aldo himself was not sure that he was at fault at the time. At that time, Aldo only did his best for the girl.

"Okay, time to search is over. I want to hear answers from you!" 

"The information was 2 years ago, I did not get many sources from the internet. As if the issue was protected!" Sebastian replied 

"I also learned that the incident happened 2 years ago. But there is no date and the case has also been closed!" 

Two answers that are again the same, from Louis and Qais. Aldo looked at the only girl sitting on their round table. All gazes were immediately fixed on Key who still did not express his opinion. 

"Why Miss? Have you given up on this first stage? If so, you can take your bag out, the door is wide open for you" Aldo exclaimed sharply. Although inwardly, Aldo slightly cursed his mouth which was completely incompatible with his thoughts.

Key looked at Aldo, and took a deep breath. "It's just an accusation, no financial manipulation. It's just another stock company strategy that wants to compete with GH-Group. Just like the incident a few hours ago, GH-Group was said to be back. won the trust of one of the largest investment companies in Indonesia. However, the previous news was that GH-Group opened vacancies for the GM position. That is a strategy! A strategy to gain the trust of foreign investors. "Key replied, making everything in the room. started whispering. Aldo knows that Key is a type of person who is very easy to understand the situation. Both then and now, that has not changed. Key is still with his trademark. But Aldo can't be weak this time, it's all for Key's good.

"Such a perfect answer. Yes, you are absolutely right, lady. But is it worth telling all what you know? This is a stock company, lady, where we will fight with tongues and there is no tenderness in the competitive world of the stock market!" 

Key looked at Aldo sharply, Louis even took a sip of saliva for staring at Key who was not even afraid to stare at the CEO and the founders of the Gh-group with a sharp gaze. It was as if there was anger stored in the girl when she looked at the CEO. 

"Why is there a question if there is no answer sir? I think that is the most basic point of the world of business!" Key Exclaimed 

Aldo Silently, he was too aware that the atmosphere between them was tense "Okay, I accept your answer. Second question, what do you have in mind regarding the stock market? Starting with you, miss! " 

"The stock market is a playmate sir, we don't have to think of it as the enemy. We have to change the mindset and the way of acting!" 

Aldo chuckled mockingly, even the three GH-Group founders stared at their CEO with a confused look. Since when did their golden boy act like this? Mr. Frederick looked at Aldo calmly, wondering what their CEO would answer. Because he was sure, their golden child was losing his professionalism this time. 

"You must change your mindset Miss. Weak sheep that run from the flock and the aim of the shepherd. Will be ravaged by wolves stalking them from the dark grass. There are no wolves and sheep for friends, no story about that. If You still insist on continuing your opinion. You'd better get your CV back right away, a woman who can't even cry like you wouldn't fit into a company like this! " Aldo decided then left the room, making the atmosphere even tense. 

Key looked at the founders of the GH-group. "How about it, sir? Am I really rejected?" 

Mr. Frederik, Mr. Erick and Mr. Trans looked at each other, then from the gazes of the three of them. Erick started to speak, as if only their eyes could talk to each other. 

"We are only founders, son, even though all your answers make me personally amazed. But the final decision rests with our CEO, because for now. He's the one who leads this company!" 

That answer made Key petrified and as if he had just been slapped with a bitter reality, he took a deep breath. Then took his bag and stuffed his laptop with a little rough. "Cheers for the three of you, good luck!" exclaimed Key "And thank you for teaching me this valuable lesson sir, I will be leaving!" exclaimed Key then walked out. 

He stepped outside feeling completely devastated, he never thought that Aldo was the CEO of GH-Group and unfortunately, that guy got rid of him too. Even though Key knows that Aldo is acting on behalf of his personal reasons. If he had known from the start, he probably wouldn't have wanted to step into this building. And don't even want to come back to this country. All the loops of 5 years ago play in Key's little memory. The girl with the ponytail waved her hand, fanning her hot eyes. No… Key couldn't cry because he was unethically rejected.

"Wait!"  

Key who was about to enter the elevator stopped when he heard a voice, he turned around. And at that moment his gaze fixed on the figure of the young man who was also staring at him. Key waited, what Aldo wanted to talk to him about. However, there was no conversation at all. Key then turned around and entered the elevator. 

Aldo, who stared at Key's departure, only took a deep breath, he closed his eyes as he stared at the girl with a gaze like before. "I don't even know what to do now!" Aldo muttered then returned to the room again. With a feeling of regret, Aldo took a deep breath. Aldo really couldn't let the teary gaze go alone. Aldo immediately took his cellphone, calling someone to follow the girl's figure. To make sure that Key comes home safely this time.

***

Aldo entered the meeting room again, the gazes of the three GH-Group founders were fixed on him. And as expected, only the three of them were left in the room. The interviewees were no longer there. Their smiles were still amazing, even though the three men were already wrinkled and young like him.

"Sit down son, it looks like your day is messed up!"

Aldo nodded, he sat in front of them. No longer at the meeting table earlier, but already in a relaxing room staring at the outside. Mr. Frederick sipped his cigarette, staring at Aldo, who still didn't want to open his voice.

"Do you know that girl, son? Father never saw you act like that to the opposite sex. Something's wrong, you can tell daddy! "

Mr. Frederick, founder of the GH-Group. The father of the CEO, and in fact Aldo is the son of the company's founder. Not much different from the other two men of age. Mr. Erick is the younger brother of Mr. Frederik which means that man is his uncle. And Mr. Trans is the best friend of both of them. They never put each other down. They always fought from 0 to get to where they are today. But unfortunately, the three of them. Only Frederik's son was willing to lead the company they had built. Aldo's other cousins ​​prefer to live the life they like.

Aldo sighed deeply, he never once told anyone about his personal problems. Aldo sat up straight again. "Sorry if my attitude disappoints both father and uncle. But for this matter, I really can't allow that girl to enter a company like this. She is a very rare girl, she is different, and I must continue to look after her. Sorry, I have to go right now! ”

Without waiting for an answer from the three of them, Aldo and Ben who were waiting outside immediately disappeared. Frederick smiled at his son, as if he was not only his son. And he was quite happy to see that Aldo also likes women.

"Ahhh, he's just like you Frederick. Haven't you forgotten what your struggles were like to get a brother-in-law? ” Erick teases Frederik, who only the middle-aged man responds with an oddity. They are right, he also used to be like Aldo now.

Nothing is different except for his old age and his body which is no longer all his sons. His love for his wife will remain the same as before. Will not succeed, even though they are both aged.
