Love In The Throne
Is He Really Good?

The sky was already dark. The employees have left the office one by one. The atmosphere of the office that was crowded had started to feel quiet. Only a few employees remained in the room.

Jemari Nanda was busy playing the pen that he moved between his fingers. His eyes occasionally turned towards the door of Alvin's room. Alvin seems to still feel at home for a long time struggling with his busy life there. He wanted to get out of his chair and go free from fatigue today. There was no work he could do all day. Just listening to Dino's explanation about his haughty boss.

Nanda glanced at the watch in his hand. Time has shown at seven o'clock in the evening. But Dino still looks busy with a bunch of papers still piled high on his desk.

"Mas Dino's..."

"Yes." he answered without turning his gaze toward Nanda.

"You have no plans to go home? I'm already this poor loh" Dino laughed amusedly at Nanda's plain words.

"Awhile more. My work is done, a little more is done" Nanda breathed her long breath feeling astonished by Dino.

"Every day you go home at night, Mas?"

"Especially not. It all depends on our boss. If he's still in the office, I usually can't go home. Afraid suddenly he asked me to do something. Than I've reached the house and back to the office so usually I go home if Mr. Alvin has also gone home"

"It's so annoying..."

"Actually Mr. Alvin is good for Nanda. Only because of his hard attitude so make himself look like a haughty and annoying person. At first I was like you too, thinking Mr. Alvin was annoying and authoritarian. At the beginning of working here I also almost felt uncomfortable. But long ago I could understand the true character of Mr. Alvin"

"What kind of person is he?" nanda's curiosity about Alvin's figure began to crack.

"Sir Alvin is hard, actually not hard anyway he is more assertive. He is hardworking, disciplined and detailed. But behind all that, Mr. Alvin is also a good person. You could say he is royal and pay attention to the welfare of the employees. Mr. Alvin is also not stingy for overtime and bonus money. If the company wins the lander, we must be treated to food and given an additional bonus. Oia one more, For children of employees who have good achievements, they can apply for student duties to the company. And Mr. Alvin himself is intervening in this"

"Are there really a lot of employee children who are given student duties?"

"A good amount. From elementary school to college"

"really?"

"He-em, right. Because I know the data. Before the scholarship recipient data goes to the financial department, the data was sorted and checked by Mr. Alvin. Then he signed. After that, just go to the financial section for the process of disbursement of funds"

"Oo so..." Nanda nodded his head. There is a sense of salute and happy to hear Dino's explanation about the good side of Alvin.

"It's just that sometimes I feel good about Mr. Alvin"

"Cassian? Kasian why?"

"This is an observation from me personally. But you don't get to leak it."

"Ok, promise" Nanda said as she pointed two index fingers and her middle finger in the form of the letter V to Dino.

"In my opinion, Mr. Alvin's cold and hard attitude is influenced by his complicated romance story"

"meaning?"

"I never overheard Mr. Alvin's conversation on the phone. Mr. Alvin seems to be fighting with his girlfriend. The words I heard were related to marriage. Looks like Alvin's girlfriend hasn't wanted to get married yet"

"Sir Alvin is married or not?" Nanda deliberately wanted to explore further about how much knowledge Dino about Alvin's marriage with him was done secretly and only attended by a few family members and close relatives.

"The fuzzy news I've heard, he said Mr. Alvin was married to someone whose identity is still secret" Nanda swallowed his lativa and immediately paled his face.

"Why is it kept secret?"

"If I don't know that, too. Because he said the woman who was married to Mr. Alvin was not from a prominent group. Just a girl from an ordinary family. Even I heard, the father of Mr. Alvin's wife is a lot of debt. Strange, how Mr. Alvin can want to marry the same woman" Nanda tightened his molar teeth resisting the annoyance with the ravings of Dino who had humbled him.

Nanda took a deep breath and exhaled violently. Although Dino's words are annoying to hear, but that's the truth. Dino did not know that the woman he was talking about was the one in front of him right now. "Hm... But yes you have" inner Nanda tried to accept.

"Double!"

Nanda's daydreams fell apart instantly as her ears caught a familiar voice calling out her name. Nandapun's eyes immediately looked to the source of the sound.

Alvin was already standing outside his work door while carrying a briefcase. Alvin is ready to go home.

"L-yes sir." replied Nanda stammering.

"I'm waiting in the parking lot"

"Huh?"

As usual, Alvin left without waiting for an answer from Nanda. Nanda could only swallow the lativa and hurriedly packed his things into the bag.

"Mas Dino, I go first"

"Okay" Dino nodded in agreement.

Nanda rushed after the big boss to the parking lot. What he has in mind at this time, for what Alvin asked him to follow himself to the parking lot. Does Alvin intend to take himself home together? Hadn't Alvin never been kind enough to take her one car with him.

Nanda's in the car park. He also remembers Alvin's car parked. But his steps were hesitant when he was willing to arrive in front of the husband's car status.

Alvin stared impatiently watching Nanda's slowing steps.

Nanda is shocked when Alvin accidentally honks the car horn at him. With a doubtful step, Nanda approached Alvin's car door. Alvin didn't get out of the car, just opened the glass of the car door. His face was still cold and haughty.

"Are you human or a conch? Very slow movement" snapped Alvin, but not taken dizzy by Nanda.

"Get in!!!"

"Where else are we going? Isn't the office clock done?"

"Don't make me mad at Nanda!!" Alvin's voice was heavy showing a stifled tone of annoyance.

This time Nanda did not want to argue. Although it feels very lazy to have one more car with a haughty human like Alvin, Nandapun get into the car and do not forget to install a seatbelt.

Alvin drove his car out of the office at the speed of leaving. And as it has been, throughout the journey there was no conversation of either. Silent and silent.

The sky is dark. The street lights are already bright. The atmosphere of the road became bright with colorful lights that adorn the entire trip. Rows of bright shops with a varied lamp design model make the night atmosphere feel more alive and comfortable for night connoisseurs.

Ddddrr.... Ddddrr....

Nanda felt the vibration of the phone from inside the bag. He took his phone from the bag.

Evan Calling's...

Nanda sighed as she read the name on her phone screen. It felt really bad to get a call from Evan next to Alvin. Alvin would have liked it.

Mobile phone vibration stopped. Nanda ignored Evan's call. And Evan seems not to despair. Nanda's phone shook again. And the name Evan again adorns the screen of his phone. This time Nanda decides to take a phone call from Evan. Stupid time with Alvin. Inner Nanda again.

[Hello brother Evan.].

Alvin, who had been focusing on his wheel, reflexively stared intently at Nanda when Nanda's mouth mentioned a name of a man he hated.

[Hi Nanda's... Where are you again?]

[I'm on the road again]

[Oh, where are you going?]

[Emmm... I'm going home. What's up, brother?]

Again Alvin's eyes steal a glance towards Nanda who is talking in a voice that is deliberately slowed down.

[I heard these few days you never went to college. Really true?]

[Oh, About that.. L'm... Emm. Yes Brother, sorry. I have other business]

[Hmm, okay. Tomorrow we have to go in. Don't skip anymore]

[It seems, tomorrow I still can't go in either]

[Your business is not finished yet?]

[Eemmm, yes] Nanda bit her lower lip. He really felt bad about Evan who had been good at fighting for education for him.

[Hm... Yes, that's it then. You just finish your business. But if you can not for long. You can miss a lot of material. Your exam scores can be ugly]

[Yes, brother, fine]

[Oia Nanda, tonight do you have time? I'm gonna take you to dinner?]

[Dinner?]

Nanda's eyes widened with tremendous shock when Alvin suddenly put the brakes on and stopped his car suddenly. Alvin's cup was itchy when he heard the word dinner. Rudely and without permission, Alvin forcibly takes Nanda's phone and takes over the conversation.

[NO TIME FOR DINNER.!!]

Alvin hangs up the phone and throws it back into Nanda's lap.

"Kamuuuu's... Arrrrrgghhhh" Nanda clenched his fingers and growled annoyed at Alvin's arbitrary attitude.

"Ga, you're so tacky!!"

Nanda gave a rough snort and rested his head on the chair. Arguing with Alvin was free. Because in the end he will not be able to calm down.

Alvin turned his car into a famous Japanese restaurant. After the car felt well enough parked, Alvin turned off his car engine, opened the seatbelt and prepared to get out. But his hand closed open the car door when his eyes saw the attitude of Nanda who was still silent with his seatbelt still attached to his body.

"Why silence?" alvin started the conversation. Nanda still refused to answer. Only the flat gaze that Nanda showed as a form of her pity.

"Down !!"

"Why what?"

"DINNER !!!" alvin said with high intonation.
