The Sweet Hotel's
Reunite

"Hey beautiful," said a handsome man leaning against the front desk.

Galuh widened his eyes, he pulled the man away from there. "Well, are you here?"

"Loh, did you forget? This is my hotel, so let me be free here" replied the man casually.

"Hendry!" galuh. "Don't see me at work, I don't want to arouse suspicion" he continued.

Who else if not Henry? The man who was always by her side after her husband left.

"Just relax, did your partner recognize me? Of course not." The man leaned his back against the wall. "It's just calm."

"Then what are you looking for me for?"

Hendry laughed softly, "didn't you miss your ex-husband?"

Galuh.

"Don't talk about it. I have to work, go!"

"Only you dare to throw me out here" said Hendry raising his eyebrows.

"I don't care" Galuh said.

Henry laughed, "good job. Don't forget to eat!"

The man then left Galuh who was looking at him.

Empty views.

"Maybe I think too much. I have to rest well today" he said, looking at his forehead.

"Grandfather why?" ask the same worker.

"No papa, a little dizzy," replied Galuh.

"It hurts to take a break, Ma'am," he suggested.

"I'm healthy, just a little dizzy before the table," Galuh's alibi.

"Ooo, yes, yes,"

The employee then left.

Galuh took a long breath. Time was slow for him.

He could only pray that he could make it through this long day.

As a front officer, Galuh is required to be a professional person.

He needs to be more resilient and strong physically and mentally. His smile should always expand no matter what the situation.

It is hard to work hard to meet the needs of her three children.

Galuh should also thank Hendry. If not for the man, perhaps he was now going around looking for work.

Her salary was now more than enough to cover her needs and her three children. All thanks to his hard work.

Ever since her husband left, Galuh had to be a strong mother figure. She doesn't know where her husband is.

Just remembering it makes Galuh sick.

She was determined that someday she would make her husband regret leaving her.

Galuh clenched his hands, "I'll prove it, if I can survive without him,"

*****

Today there will be special guests who will come to the hotel where he works. All staff are required to welcome at the hall, as a form of respect to the guest.

Of course other than that, another goal is to introduce all the staff.

In a few minutes he might be called his manager. He just has to wait while continuing his work.

Sure enough, a few minutes later a man in a suit came to his desk and told him to head straight for the hall.

"In a moment our honored guests will come, all of them will be ready soon. Especially you Galuh, you are specially asked to greet and escort him to his room!" his orders.

Galuh nodded and stood up. He tidied up his appearance and regulated his breathing. "Remain professional Galuh, you can," she said in her heart.

The woman walked quickly to the hall. Everyone was already there, lined up neatly waiting for the honored guest.

Galuh stood beside his manager, there was also Hendry who smiled to see him.

Seen from a distance, several shiny black cars entered the hotel courtyard. All the staff prepared to tidy up their respective rows and clothes.

Galuh took a deep breath to suppress his nervousness. The black car that just stopped.

From the car came a man in a black suit. The man patted the driver on the shoulder who opened the car door for him.

The sunglasses perched on his nose were removed, making his sharp eyes with thick eyebrows visible. So endearing.

Galuh lowered his head, he was very familiar with that person. Someone special, the father of his three children.

"Grandfather why?" ask one of his colleagues.

"I'm fine" Galuh replied with a forced smile.

Hendry looked up at the restless Galuh, knowing what his best friend was thinking. There was nothing he could do, because here Hendry was forced to go professional.

Seeing his guests already in front of him, Hendry shook his guests' hands. His smile was politely. Although in his heart he wanted to punch the man in front of him.

"Welcome, Mr. Ferdian."

"Thank you, Mr. Hendry," said Ferdian. "A very impressive welcome, all the staff willingly attended to welcome me." Ferdian laughing.

Galuh gulped his saliva, the laughter reminded him of the past when they were still together. He just hoped Ferdian didn't see it.

"Mr Ferdian was overly complimentary, it's our duty to welcome such a special guest as you." Hendry laughed, although the laughter seemed bland and forced.

"Again thanks, Mr. Hendry."

"Sama-sama, there is no need to hesitate. We've prepared the best room for you."

"really? Then I can't wait to see it."

Hendry smiled, "don't be too hasty, let's have a quick chat here."

"Alright, let's talk for a while, I also want to ask you a few things." Ferdian accepted Hendry's offer with pleasure.

The two men walked towards the table in the middle of the hall. Henry invited Ferdian to sit down.

"So what does Mr Ferdian want to ask?"

"Look, we want to buy this hotel." Ferdian began to explain his point, "we heard that this hotel has a lot of reliable workers, especially in the field. The location is also strategic, so I am very interested in this hotel. Can I buy this hotel?" continued.

Hendry was silent for a moment, indeed there was no problem to sell his hotel to the man in front of him. But, he was afraid that Ferdian would see Galuh and Galuh feel uncomfortable.

"That'll be discussed later" replied Hendry.

"All right."

Hendry simply smiled and looked at Galuh who was standing still behind Ferdian.

"Don't you want to see your room?" ask Hendry.

"Oh of course, I really want to feel the service of this hotel." Ferdian smiled broadly.

Unlike the nervous ones. The woman was assigned to deliver Ferdian to his room. Can he hold everything?

Hendry looked at the FO Manager standing next to him. Knowing the meaning of his superior, he winked at Galuh.

Galuh let out a long breath, he neutralized his nervousness and walked towards Ferdian.

"Excuse me sir, let's follow me,"

☆☆☆

Four people were walking down the hotel hallway. Galuh led in front while explaining the facilities in the hotel.

He explained while keeping his steps in order to stay balanced and organized. He also had to adjust his breathing so as not to be bored because he had to walk far while talking constantly.

"Ahead is the executive lounge, where you check in later," Galuh explained.

Ferdian was silent and did not pay much attention to Galuh's explanation. His attention was only on the explaining, not the explained.

Arriving at the check-in, Galuh stood behind his desk. He cupped his hands together and smiled towards the three special guests.

"Welcome to Widjaya Hotel & Spa" he said in a friendly manner.

Seeing the smile of the woman in front of him, made Ferdian unable to wiggle. He looked at a smile he had never seen for a long time.

"Mister Ferdian's room number is 2315, and the other two are 2316, 2317, here's the key. You will be escorted by our bellboy Mr. Ari," Galuh explained.

Ferdian awakens from his daydream, preventing the bellboy from taking his suitcase. He looked at the woman in front of him. "I'd like to be escorted by a front officer,"

"But ...."

"Let bellboy escort both my colleagues. I want to get around this hotel first" Ferdian said.

Galuh sighed harshly, she did not expect the man in front of her to be like this. She kept smiling, however she had to remain professional.

"Alright, let me deliver," Galuh bargained.

Ferdian smiled triumphantly, finally he could have a longer time with Galuh.

The woman explained back to the facility they had passed. Eventually they arrived in front of the elevator.

Galuh pressed the button to the 10th floor, not long after the door opened. Galuh let Ferdian in first, then he entered.

The woman pressed the button again. Silence attacked them both. Galuh with his silence, and Ferdian with his thoughts.

"Galuh," call Ferdian.

"At any time we'll get to you, sir," Galuh tries not to discuss unwanted things.

"You haven't changed, have you? Not exactly the same thing that happened?"

Galuh just kept silent not responding to all Ferdian's sayings. He just wanted to calm down without any distractions.

While Ferdian could only sigh because he was ignored.

☆☆☆

"This is your room." Galuh put the keycard in the place at the door.

After the door opened revealing the contents of the luxurious hotel, Galuh entered and explained everything. 

Even though he knew the man behind him had never listened to him from just now, he still explained.

When Galuh was explaining everything suddenly someone pulled him from behind. Of course his back directly hit the chest of that person's.

A pair of hands coiled around his stomach, and he felt a burden at the top of his head. He knew it was this guy's chin.

Galuh wanted to rebel, but his embrace grew tighter.

"Sstt .. leave it like this, don't you miss moments like this?" the quiet voice was like the wind. It's cold but it makes people shiver.

Because I can't move Galuh just resigned and silent. He also missed times like this, but everything was closed. It still hurts to remember everything.

Unknowingly his tears fell and hit Ferdian's hand, making the man stare at the woman in his arms.

"Don't cry." He wiped away the tears that had already flowed, staring at the beautiful face of this woman.

"I beg you not to cry, this is our first meeting" he whispered.

"I beg you to let me go" Galuh.
