The End of Long
Part 1's

My watch is 06:30 wib. I combed back my hair while seeing if my makeup was neat or not. Indeed today I added a little makeup on my face to make it look fresher. I want to look a little different than usual considering this is my first day working in Jakarta.

Actually this is not the first time I work, before I worked in one of the big companies in Palembang my home region. But since I had personal issues with Brother Irvan so I decided to resign exactly one year ago.

After five months I was home doing nothing, I finally got back up to organize my life by applying to several companies. I happen to be accepted in this company even though it is not too big from my previous company. But at least I can develop myself. So knowing that I will be sent to Jakarta to complete the project here for six months I am very happy. Besides being able to add to my experience who knows can also forget my bitter memories with Brother Irvan.

At first I didn't agree that I should stay in Jakarta for six months, but thankfully I managed to convince Mom that this was all for my own good. I finally left with the blessing of my parents.

As I checked out some of the things I had to bring to my new office, my phone rang. I saw it from Mr. Andre.

"Good morning Mr. Andre"

"Good morning Lika, are you ready?"

"Already sir, I'm ready"

"I'm waiting in front of your door"

"Well... Oh yes sir I'm out now"

I rushed to tidy up there are some maps that I brought from Palembang, I put them in a large black bag that is suitable for storing some office files. Then I grabbed my little black bag that had been on the bed since.

I ran a little to open the door. It turned out that it was true that Mr. Andre was waiting at the door of the room.

"Sorry sir I'm late"

Mr. Andre was silent as soon as he saw me standing in front of the door, his eyes slightly opened. Either angry or surprised because I opened the door all of a sudden.

"Sorry sir I'm late" I repeat, now I really feel guilty because this early morning I've made two mistakes at once.

First I was late leaving because the boss had called, the second I surprised by opening the door suddenly.

"Oh no" replied Mr. Andre with a smile "it's only 06.33 wib, let's make an agreement at 07.00 wib" he continued while looking at the clock in his left hand.

"I also want to apologize for making you surprised by opening the door suddenly"

"Oh no, I should be the one apologizing for standing in front of your door"

Mr. Andre retreated three rarities back because he saw I wanted to lock the door.

As usual I walked two rare behind Mr. Andre time down the boarding room corridor. Suddenly Mr. Andre turned around. I was quite surprised, but fortunately I stopped immediately if I could not hit Mr. Andre.

He smiled at me in shock as he almost hit her.

"If you don't have to walk behind me"

"Yes good sir" I replied as I tucked my hair in my ear with a slight bow.

"And one more thing, you're beautiful today"

"Well.."

"You are beautiful today" she said with a smile.

"Thank you sir" I said still in a state of a little surprised by Mr. Andre's praise.

"If you're still standing there we'll be really late"

"Yes good sir" I said still nervous because it had just been praised by Mr. Andre. I rushed after him who from earlier was smiling glancing at me.

Below I see Mr. Budi standing next to a black car.

"That's our operational car here" said Mr. Andre pointing towards Mr. Budi.

"Yes Sir"

We also went to use the car with a disopiri by Mr. Budi. Mr. Andre is not actually a person who owns a company, he is just an operational manager in the office where I work. While Mr. Budi he was in charge of the location during our work in Jakarta, after passing through several multi-storey buildings before we finally arrived at a building.

"This is your new office" said Mr. Budi while parking the car in the yard of the building.

"Good yes sir" I said.

Mr. Budi and Mr. Andre laughed almost simultaneously.

I felt a bit embarrassed at that time, too, if I looked like a fool because I saw left and right. I have to admit at that time I was a village who had just come to the city. Anyway, I just came to this area this time. So inevitably I have to pay attention around, so that someday do not let me stray in my own office area.

We entered the lobby of the building, I saw two people behind the reception desk. We did not go to the table, but went straight to the elevator on the left.

Oh it turns out our office is on the 12th floor because I saw Mr. Budi pressing the number 12 when we were in the elevator. Our workspace was a bit at the end because we had to pass through a few more rooms.

"This is our office for the next six months" Mr. Andre said as he opened the door.

The room was about 10 x 12 meters. In the middle was a long table with eight chairs surrounding it. While around it which is only about three meters away there is a table that is blocked with blue color as in general in other offices.

"That's Mr. Robby's table" Mr. Andre showed the table in the middle of the biggest –.

"And it has Mr. Budi" he continued while showing the table on the left of Mr. Robby.

Mr. Andre walked to the right table "This is my table Lika and next to my table is your table"

After showing me my desk, Mr. Andre and Mr. Budi came out. While I was busy removing some maps while observing the surroundings in this room.

I was surprised when suddenly Mr. Andre was in front of my desk.

"Why are you surprised Lika?" he said while laughing.

"I didn't hear anyone's voice coming in sir"

To be honest today I really was like a fool before Mr. Andre today. But I myself was a bit surprised also with the friendly attitude of Mr. Andre since we arrived in Jakarta. We hardly ever talked at all.

At the time we were chatting suddenly the door was opened by Mr. Budi. Apparently Mr. Budi did not come alone he was with Mr. Robby and one more man.

The appearance is neat using a light gray suit with an old gray shirt interior. The person is tall, yellow skin with a hair style that is combed backward even though there is a hemisphere on the left. When viewed from the age of at least thirty years, still young. The guy's also charismatic and sweet, which is my judgment.

I walked in the middle of following Mr. Andre so Mr. Robby and that person were already in our room.

"It feels like I don't need to introduce anymore" said Mr. Robby while laughing patting Mr. Andre on the shoulder.

They shake hands and greet each other.

"And this is Chalika Andria" said Mr. Robby, pointing at me.

I reached out to him, but he was surprised to hear my name being mentioned by Mr. Robby. Is there something wrong with me? I think I just met him for the first time.

"He will be my administrative staff and secretary during our time here" Mr. Robby seemed to be trying to introduce further, because it looks like Mr. Robby and the others are a little weird to see him shocked when he hears my name.

"I Awan Bintang Anggara" while welcoming my handshake.

This time I was surprised. My heart was beating fast, my legs were weak and my body temperature was hot to the heart. For a moment I felt confused, dazed, what was it, that my concentration must have collapsed instantly.

But fortunately I was able to quickly self-touch even though I was sure he also felt the change I was experiencing.

"You already know each other" asked Mr. Andre confused.

"It looks like it hasn't been sir" I said as I released a hand from Mr. Awan.

Seeing Mr. Robby looking at him he tried to make sure what I said was true.

"I once had a very special person for me with the same name" he said, still not letting go of his eyes.

I was still stunned to hear Mr. Awan's words.

"Andre are you at the meeting today?" ask Mr. Robby

Mr. Andre just nodded. While I myself was trying to master my spirit to restore my concentration to return to how it was before Mr. Awan came.

"Then let's get out the other directors are waiting for us" Mr. Robby said.

"When you come with us yes, all under the files we prepared yesterday" said Mr. Andre

"Okay sir" then I headed to my desk where I put the map I brought.

I turned around while taking a deep breath so I could calm myself down more. But instead of being calm I even heart beat faster no less Mr. Awan was still watching me.

Mr. Robby and Mr. Andre were chatting together towards the exit turned around because they saw Mr. Awan still standing looking at me.

"The Cloud is fine" asked Mr. Robby.

"Yes, sir, come" he said as he walked following Mr. Robby and Mr. Andre.

In the meeting room I really could not concentrate, whereas before I was so excited to start my work today. This large meeting room was only attended by about ten important directors of the company and their secretaries only five people including me.

In the middle of sitting middle-aged men called the people of Mr. Emil. He is the chief director of this company. Sitting to the right of Mr. Awan and to the left is Mr. Robby. As for the others I don't really know what their names are and what their positions are in this company. They introduced themselves, but at this point I was completely blank. Moreover, several times I saw Mr. Awan was watching me.

We ourselves the secretaries sat in the corner of the room near the exit. After shaking hands and introducing ourselves we sat down to start the meeting. My thoughts gushed on the name of the Anggara Star Cloud. Not because she's as attractive as I said. He reminds me of someone with the same name.

Cloud Bintang Anggara was the name of my best friend when I sat in Junior High School. But is this really him? or just the same name. That's what's on my mind right now.

While I was trying to listen to the talk of Mr. Andre who was explaining the work plan ahead, suddenly my eyes were fixed on Mr. Awan who was looking at me. At that time I really felt a strange feeling not because. To get rid of that feeling I tried to turn my face away from smiling at the person sitting next to me.

As long as I work this new time I hope this meeting is over quickly. Usually I am so enthusiastic when we discuss the work we will do to complete our projects well.

The meeting was over by lunch. I heard from Mr. Robby that they were going to have lunch with Mr. Andre and Mr. Emil. I myself prefer to go back to my office to recover my heart and my messed up mind not knowing where.

All day in my mind was full of questions. Is he really my friend Cloud? A fella? Not her first love, I suddenly smiled to myself. Ah no, the clouds are as far as I'm moving to Yogya. But it's a name that people rarely use, the time yes the name is exactly the same. Chances are small that she was my first love.

"When the job's done?" I was surprised that Mr. Andre was already standing in front of my desk.

"Already Sir. We're going home now?"

"Yes"

"I'll take care of it for a minute sir"

"OK I just wait in the lobby" said Mr. Andre as he left the room.

"Good"

I left after I had done all my work. I saw Mr. Andre smilingly standing in front of the entrance while chatting with someone.

"We go home now" Mr. Andre said as I was near them.

"If Mr. Andre still has work I can wait in the parking lot" I said for fear of disturbing him was chatting.

"Not really" then I saw Mr. Andre saying goodbye to his conversation partner and we left him.

"But you're not coming home with us, sir?" my question is because I did not see the existence of Mr. Budi.

"Sir Budi was asked to accompany Mr. Robby to meet someone. Before we go home, we'll have dinner first, Lika"

"But it's still late in the afternoon Sir or are you hungry?"

"We go for a walk while we wait for the night"

"Huh"

"Liar Lika knows the area here, so tomorrow-tomorrow is not stray if you go home alone"

It seems there is a point, too, said Mr. Andre, so I agree with his proposal. After dinner, we just returned to our room.

Today I feel very tired, somehow since meeting with Mr. Awan I feel unable to concentrate fully on work. Since the last six months, my life has really been organized. Especially in the matter of work. I never feel tired even though I have to complete the tasks that accumulate because of the pursued dateline for tender with PT. PRIMED.

Right now in my mind I just want to take a shower and rest to recover the messed up thoughts since last afternoon.

I wish I could sleep well that night. But my hope was hope, instead of sleep, my mind began to recall all the memories that happened between me and my best friend, Aggara Star Cloud.

This time I let the shadow of the Clouds rule my heart and mind. Because I'm tired of trying to forget all those memories.

Maybe this way I can go to sleep and wake up with a new spirit without the clouds disturbing my mind.
