The Sign of Love

The Sign of Love
Like a Lover


"Oh that's okay sir," said Relina as she worked out the file, given by Fuad, she's still sitting on the couch hasn't budged since she walked into the room.


"You know Junda? Or maybe ..." Fuad's speech was interrupted he approached his desk, picked up a document, read it for a while, turned to Relina and said again. "You've had some work experience, but there's no evidence of it here. Where did you work?"


"Yes, I've worked before at Junda's company, sir."


Fuad couldn't believe it until he asked again, "where?'


"In the company of Juanda Aswara. I've worked a year there."


"What division?"


"Oh, I'm just an assistant sir in the archives."


"Oh, so. What's the matter with you getting out of there?"


"I'm, I'm fired."


"Do you have a problem or a mistake?"


"I didn't make a mistake at work, sir. My work was fine, only at that time Mr. Juanda said that his company was experiencing budget devisit, or financial efficiency."


Fuad chuckled, then said, "time, anyway?" sitting in his big chair, he continued, "that's your seat, there, that's your table" he said, pointing at the table next to him with his chin.


"Well, sir," said Relina.


He took all the files he was reading, he moved to sit where Fuad had shown him. It turned out to be true as he expected, if the table was his. After that, Relina began to work, starting by reading all the files and and summarizing them in a notebook as a reminder material.


From now on, his job is to help Fuad as a manager at the company. Fuad's personal assistant, who died two days ago, and of the many job applicants, only Relina's CV was deemed worthy, to replace her staff.


During work, Relina did not open conversations about anything, they did not chat about personal or other things, with her manager because he was the type of person who rarely spoke. He won't talk about anything before his interlocutor starts first. Unless someone she has known for a long time, like Anne, her best friend, she will be very open.


Relina was busy working until she didn't realize it was time for lunch.


Fuad rebuked him.


"It's lunch time now. Comeing! take a break. You don't want lunch?"


"No, Sir. It'll be a minute."


"Yes already if that's me first, below there is a cafeteria, on the right of the office there is a restaurant, across the street there is a warteg. You just choose."


"Oh, yes, thank you, sir"


Fuad walked out of the room leaving Relina reluctant to eat in the cafeteria or anywhere else. He was very clumsy, because there was no one he could make friends with. He was ashamed and also not hungry, making him lazy.


He sat on the sofa and extended his legs, receiving a phone call from Ane. He received the call with pleasure then started the chat with their typical chat style so far.


"Ahk, really, you're accepted now at the company you want? You're lucky, Rel ...."


"Yes, that's, really, the time of lies. I've been shopping for a sale today."


"Yes, send it to me for the food."


"Depart sometime, I haven't made any food yet."


"Eh, right who owns the company is Gunara our upperclassman?"


"Eh, if that's what I don't know." Relina relaxed her shoulders.


"Why don't you ask me, talk to me, who is it?"


"Who's same? I don't have any acquaintances here."


"Yes, acquaintance oruh, if you just keep quiet, how can you have friends, what are you there in what part


"I? I'm an assistant manager."


"Well, really, you're lucky, Rel! congratulations, you deserve that job."


"Yes, I have a meeting tomorrow?"


"Your boss's name?"


"Yes." Yeah."


*****


It was late in the afternoon, the sun seemed to be tired to give its light, so he immediately went to the place of the quarrel and spread himself with a blanket of the horizon.


At the same time, Relina was out of the office, alone. He did not have a friend, not much he knew today, except for a few people, who had been facing Fuad.


The girl stood at the bus stop, waiting for public transport to take her home. He walked far enough from the office to get to the stop.


Before long, there was a white sedan car stopped right in front of him, then the car door opened in front of Relina. Out of it was a tall and thin man, his skin white, hair neatly combed back in plain shirt and Levi's pants.


"Hey, you're Relina, right?" Greet that man.


Instantly Relina who was originally indifferent also turned her head and was so surprised she saw the figure of a sweet-faced man in front of her.


'Brother Gun? Is that really Gun?'?


"Sister, Gunara?"


"Yes it's me.. You, Relina, right?"


"Yes, I'm Rally. Brother, how are you?" Relina asked enthusiastically, her face met with red and her shining eyes more beautiful. It was like seeing a great hope that had never existed.


He approached and reached out to shake hands with Gunara, the man was his upperclassman. They were very familiar and close even many people thought they were lovers at that time. They shake hands very closely, like a taste through the handshake, until a while later the handshake is finally released.


"Now, I'm fine." Gunara answered Relina's question with a smile, for some reason Relina saw that smile sour.


'What does it mean that now it is fine if not now it is not good, brother?'


"Oh thank goodness. How can you be here?"


"Oh, I just got to work today."


"You, work here?" Gunara asked as she pointed at PT Gunara's office with her chin.


"Yes, why?"


"Akh, it's okay."


'Why didn't I know there was a new employee? Oh right, is he the replacement for Fuad's assistant?'


"Sister, is his name similar to Big Brother's? I think this is Gun's office."


"Oh so you think I'm the owner of this office, the food is you applying for a job here?"


"Yes." Yeah." Relina laughed a little after speaking.


'Hmm .. fine then'


"Now you want to go home? Comeing! I'm anterin."


"Ah, yes ..I want to go home, but don't bother my son!"


"Well, if you bother, I won't bother you."


"Eh, really, no nicotine, later bother, or get angry with your boyfriend."


"I don't have a boyfriend."


"Very well, if you lie. I don't have a boyfriend, but a wife!"


"Don't the wife, the boyfriend doesn't have it either." Gunara laughed a little.


Gunara grabbed Relina by the hand and opened the door and put Relina in it. After it closed the door again, he drove around the car and sat behind the wheel then drove the car at medium speed.


While across the street was a pair of eyes looking at all of those events, with a look on the face that implied something in his heart. A sudden feeling disturbed him but I don't know what.


After Gunara and Reina's car away, Junda also away from across the road, driving his car at high speed, until the sound of the sports car, roaring deafening.


"Come dong's story, how did you get here?" Gunara asked as they were in the car.


"I also want to know, why can Gun be here?"


"I've graduated, I've continued to graduate, but I'm at home, I've only been working three years, continued my father's business."


"Oh, where is Om the same Aunt.?"


"That's ... Mom's father died the time before I graduated."


"Oh, I'm sorry, brother. I don't know if both parents are gone." Relina looked at Gunara guiltily.


"Not what." Gunara replied calmly, a smile etched on her lips.


Gunara and Relina, studied at UNILA, a private university where they are very familiar, from the beginning of the semester Relina became a new student there.


Their relationship was only as friends, no more than that, until at the end of the semester they began to rarely appear, and their relationship became unclear. Many friends regretted it, including Ane. But Gunara seemed to disappear even before the lecture was over.


Both of his parents died in an accident, causing Gunara to have to take care of everything alone. He was forced to postpone graduation because he had to take care of his company. At that time Gunara had begun to rarely come to the campus, except only to complete the exam, thesis and trial. After that they never met again.


They are like lovers who are very suitable in many ways, but they still maintain a good relationship as a friend, even to this day.


"If you are giman?" Gunara asked back.


"I just graduated a year ago invited Ane here, we both work in Junda company, you see, there are brothers.Ane who work there too."


"Oh so ane's here too?"


"Yes, brother but we don't live together, he's home with his brother."


"Now is Ane still working there?"


Relina nodded, then told him that she felt strange for his dismissal, he worked well, almost no problem, but he was fired just because of financial efficiency, he said, until finally he ventured to apply for a job at Gunara company.


"It's actually good that you get fired" Gunara told Relina's story.


"What's so good, brother?" Relina was astonished, her eyebrows seemed to be in chains.


"So you can work where you want."


"Ah, I think it's Big Brother's company because the name is the same."


'Did you miss me, you still remember me .. but maybe we'd stay the same as we used to be, stay friends, forever'


"Oh it's just a coincidence."


Hearing the reply of Gunara Relina was astonished, she felt that this man was covering something, but she did not dare to ask because they were now, not as close as before even they had just met.


Gunara smiled at the reaction of Relina who seemed to have no confidence in her. He just wanted to surprise the girl, after all, he did not have to say who she really was.


The friendship between the two of them is very good, even Relina's parents are familiar, with her son's male friend because with Relinalah's father and mother, Gunara gets a complete parent figure.


Gunara from childhood lived with her grandmother, separated from her parents because she wanted to focus on learning and her mother's father was busy doing business outside the island. He attended school and college at the same place, where Relina lived.


One day later, he learned that his parents had died suddenly in an accident. Of course he immediately accepted such a heavy responsibility, running the business that his parents had pioneered.??


He is not alone in taking care of that responsibility, there is an assistant who is loyal to his father is now his personal assistant. Gunara learned everything from this assistant, until for three years, he began to be good at leading his own company. His progress was even more rapid than his progress when his parents led him.


Upon arriving in front of her boarding place, Relina went down and thanked her.


"Sister, would you like to stop by first?"


"Anything is possible, huh?"
