Memories of Dusk
The Unexpected Meeting

Time passed so quickly after 3 months of work I finally became a permanent employee at the company. I continued to work hard so that I could raise money to buy my father and mother and open a store for them to sell cakes. I will continue to work hard until I can bring back father and mother as I used to.

“Sonya, you are called Mr. Satrio tuh.” said Naina my office friend.

“Oh yes I am there soon,” I said in a hurry.

I reached Satrio's room and knocked on his door.

“Tok tok tok...” knock the door from me.

“Iya please come in,” said Mr. Satrio from indoors.

I walked into Mr. Satrio's room nervously. I don't know what Mr. Satrio would say to me. I feel like all my work has been done, I'm afraid if there's a problem with my work.

“Sonya, Please sit.” Satrio said to me.

“Thank you sir. Sorry what did you call me?” ask me with a nervous and very restless face.

“There is something I want to talk to you about,” Satrio said seriously.

“What is sir?” ask me slowly.

“I am happy with your performance. You are very good at doing all the work I give you. I want to give you a trust,” said Mr. Satrio.

“Then can I know appa sir?” ask me who is curious.

“I want you to be a Deputy Director at this company Sonya. If you ask me I have a child and why not my son who is the deputy director, then the answer is my son is busy taking care of my other company.” said Mr. Satrio.

“But sir... Sorry I don't deserve this?” I asked Satrio.

“You are a smart and diligent child. You deserve this,” said Mr. Satrio.

“Then now what work should I do sir?” I asked Satrio again.

“This company is in cooperation with one of the companies that my son is managing. However, not many know this, we have a new project that is to build a complete market center so as not to make it difficult for people to shop. I want you to set everything up You watch everything. Because for several months I will leave for Out of town to take care of some other business.” said Mr. Satrio.

“Good sir, I will do everything I can.”.

“If your job is successful and there are no losses here, then your salary will be raised 3 times the salary of the deputy director who should.” said Pak Sattio.

“Good sir. I understand,” my words.

“Oh yes one more, tomorrow you will meet someone from the company who cooperates with our company. Don't forget,” said Mr. Satrio.

“Good sir,” my word.

I feel this trust is very heavy. However, I'm sure I can do it! Mom and Dad used to be able to do that why I didn't. I was ready to meet the person Mr. Satrio was referring to tomorrow afternoon.

Today I came home from the office picked up by Liana! He said he missed me. That's why he invited me home from work. Hehe

“Hay Liana's... Have you been waiting?” I asked while entering Liana's car.

“Not too long ago, how do you do today?” ask Liana.

“Well everything can be controlled, what is your father's company? right?” my many.

“All right all safe under control,” Liana said.

“I have good and bad news,”.

“Apaan?” liana asked seriously.

“Serious ame you,” my word.

“Ihh I'm curious about the game story Son,” said Liana.

I explained everything to Liana and asked for a solution from her so that everything Satrio entrusted to me I could do well and not disappoint her.

“Wih great you Son, this is the name of good news, there is no bad Sonya.” said Liana.

“Liana, please I need advice.” I said seriously to Liana.

“Son, you're a smart kid. You just follow what your boss wants, the way you have to go directly to the field to oversee the development. So that there is no such thing as fraud or corruption in the making of that market. One more thing you have to believe that you can do all this,” Liana said.

“Alright, I'll try to hear your advice. Thanks to Liana,”.

“Remember Son, do not fail. Because with your salary up within a few months you can already buy a house for your father and mother.” said Liana.

“Hem yes indeed Li, pray for me yes. To make everything smooth.” I said.

“Without asking, my prayer will always be there for you.” Liana said.

“Eh yes Li, your relationship with Aldi how will it be? When did you get married?” ask me with a new topic.

“OK alright I wait for the good news.” I said.

Liana drove the car quickly and we went home soon. I have to rest so that tomorrow I'm ready to go through all the work.

“Still Liana, be careful you yes.” I said with a wave of the hand.

“Iya, bye Sonya.” says Liana.

Liana drove up her car and I went straight into the room and took a break.

The next day I went to the office and did all my work as usual. And around 1pm the secretary told me that there was someone who wanted to see me. I went out and met the guy. I was surprised and asked in my heart is this the person Mr Satrio meant? I looked up, astonished to see that guy.

“Sonya?” said Satya who was also amazed to see me there.

Turns out he's the one Mr. Satrio was referring to. I did not expect that he already had his own company now and was this successful.

“Satya you...” my word with disconnected.

“I really did not expect us to find again.” Satya said to me.

“Iya I did too, I also did not expect that you are now as successful as this.” I said.

“No Sonya, this is just a deposit. Oh yeah how about we chat over lunch, Mau?” ask Satya.

“Oh yes can be,” said I received Satya's invitation.

“You like chicken noodles?” ask Satya.

“Like,” answered.

“If you eat there you are embarrassed not?” ask Satya.

“Haa? In front of there? Why should I be embarrassed, I often eat lunch there kog,”, I said while pointing to chicken noodles in front of the office.

“Yaudah we ate there yes,” said Satya.

Once there Satya ordered 2 servings of chicken noodles, one for me and one for her. How amazed I am of him. She was this successful yet still wanted to eat roadside chicken noodles, and she was not at all arrogant with what she was getting.

“Pak order 2 ya chicken noodles,” Satya said to the father of the chicken noodle seller.

“Good mas,” replied the father.

“Oh so you're a confidant sir Satrio?” ask Satya.

“Emm arguably so,” I replied.

“(I don't think papa is wrong to choose people,).” said Satya in his heart.

“Eh how are you now improving?” I asked Satya.

“Haa improving how do you mean? I'm not sick anymore?” ask Satya back.

“Haha yes your heart will hurt,” I said.

“I have missed Zarra in my life Sonya,” said Satya.

“Good there are still many women who are more deserving of you Sat,”.

“How are you? Did you get a Dimas replacement?” ask Satya back.

“Not yet, I still want to focus first on my work.” I replied.

“If you continue to mikiri job ater you can be a spinster loh.” said Satya.

“That's good, I waited until something serious happened to me. Seriously marriage is not a courtship, I don't want to date anymore. Afraid of getting hurt again,” I said.

“Well that's a good thought,” Satya said.

“You yourself when to get married?” askaku.

“Waiting, until there is a woman who can make me fall in love.” Satya said.

“You how long Satya?” I said by asking.

“It won't be long Son, believe me.” said Satya.

“Already let's eat. After that we discuss our work yes,”, I told Satya.

We ate first after that we went back to the office to discuss the construction of the market center.
