During the meeting, Davin could not take his eyes off Stella who was leading the presentation. The man was amazed by how Stella explained every detail of their new project. She was also amazed by how Stella answered her other employees' questions without having to ask her again, as if Stella knew what Davin wanted about the project.
“Pak Davin, do you want to give an input?”
The question made Davin flinch from his daydream. The man corrected his sitting position, then cleared his throat.
“No. What you explained in this presentation was all about what I expected. Maybe now we have to discuss the financials that will be needed for this project,” Davin replied.
Employees from the finance division took over to present the financial forecasts needed to work on their new project. Davin listened to the presentation while occasionally glancing at Stella who was summarizing what was delivered.
After the meeting, Stella and Davin return to their study. Stella landed her ass on the chair, then leaned her body.
“Do you intentionally want to prank me?” stella asked, annoyed with Davin who suddenly asked him to represent Davin to lead the meeting.
“Official code of conduct, can not protest and reject the request of superiors,” reply Davin cuek.
Stella rolled her eyeballs.
“You have great potential, Stella. I just pushed that potential to get out,” Davin continued.
Stella breathed. He tucks his shoulders. Maybe Davin's words have a point. Because all this time Stella did not know if she could lead a meeting and it turned out that the meeting was going well.
From where he sat, Davin smiled. She likes to see Stella's upset face. The woman always puffed her cheeks with a dead red face. It was so adorable, Davin thought.
“What's my schedule after this, Stella?” tanyakanya.
“You have a meeting with investors, sir,” Stella replied, re-using formal language. “I hope you didn't ask me to replace you this time.”
Davin chuckles. “Take it easy. I just want you to join the meeting later,” Davin replied.
“Good, Sir,” replied Stella while exhaling a sigh of relief.
After Davin checked some of the documents he had to sign, they prepared to leave the study. Before leaving, Stella stops Davin.
“Your tie is not neat yet, Sir,” Stella said.
Davin was confused, he then tightened his tie originally, making the collar of his shirt folded in.
Stella chuckles. “Sorry,” said then helped Davin tidy up his tie.
Davin held his breath. Being in a position this close to Stella made her heart beat fast. His eyes were fixed on Stella who seemed to concentrate on tidying up her tie.
If previously Davin only cared and interested in Stella, today Davin only realized if he started to like Stella. His feelings for Stella are not the feelings he felt when he became a woman abroad who just wanted to date and then break up. But, this time he really liked Stella from the bottom of his heart.
“Already, Sir. Come, we go to the meeting room,” said Stella.
Davin cleared his throat, then awkwardly nodded and walked out of the study room following Stella.
‘Sial, what did Stella do to me until I became like this? Is this really a feeling of like?’ ask in the heart.
That night, after returning home from the office Davin called his parents. The man wanted to re-assure whether the feelings he felt for Stella were real or not by asking his parents for their opinion.
“Halo, Davin?” greet Davin's mother.
“Halo, Ma,” Reply Davin.
“Tumben once you call first. Usually, you are even difficult to contact,” said his mother as she chuckled.
“There's something I want to ask you, Ma.”
Davin removed his tie, then folded the long arm of his shirt up to the elbow.
“What do you want to ask?” ask mother.
Davin scratched his nape. Actually he was embarrassed to say it because he never talked about women to his parents, especially so far Davin almost never chased women, it was women who always chased after him.
“Why are you silent? Don't worry Mama, Davin,” urges her mother.
“Ma, how does it feel to be in love?” davin asked her to make her mother laugh.
"Ma, what's falling in love like?" re-davin asked.
“Wah, which woman finally managed to make my son fall in love?”
Instead of answering Davin's question, her mother asked. Davin was upset. He regretted asking his mother that silly question.
“Ma, just answer my question,” grumbled Davin annoyed.
His mother sounded chuckled. “If you fall in love, you will feel concerned about that person. You will also do anything not to make her sad, protect her, and pay attention to her. Your heart will also beat fast near him. So, who's this woman? Are you really in love?”
"Ma, I feel that feeling right now" Davin said.
"Who is he?"
“Stella, Mom. I intend to seriously approach Stella. I love it,” Davin replied without hesitation.
“Stella? You mean Dini and Anton's daughter?”
“Iya, Ma.”
“Papa agrees that you want to get close to Stella,” said his father who heard the conversation Davin and his mother because his mother loudspeaker the phone.
"Papa?" Davin's parrots.
“You've heard the answer, ‘kan? We agree that you're approaching Stella, Davin. She's a pretty girl, she's nice too. Moreover, we are one village and we know his family well," his mother timpal as if giving a new spirit to Davin who smiled to hear it.
Davin smiled happily. His parents' blessing he cantongi. Now, it's time he stole Stella's heart.
