ALDERANDA

Darmajaya Vs Armandito

That morning, the phone in Dera's room rang. Dera rushed to pick up the phone and now she was connected to someone who was talking from his room.
"Hello..."
“A meeting in thirty minutes!"
"Okay Sir."
Thirty minutes later, Dera headed to the meeting room. There, Nanda was already preparing with the presentation that Dera had finished two days ago. Dera was surprised, only Nanda was in the room, then where was Nanda's important client who was scheduled to meet with him today.
"Excuse me, Sir."
"Ah Dera, come in!"
"Sir? Your client hasn't come yet?"
"Yeah, maybe our client is stuck in traffic. We'll wait another fifteen minutes, if he doesn't come then we'll try to contact him again."
"Oh ok Sir."
"Gosh... Dera, can I ask you a favor now?"
"What's the matter, Sir??"
"You can get the document in my room, it's in a dark blue folder. We need the document for this meeting , I forgot to bring it earlier. Can you? Help me, Dera!"
"Okay Mr. Nanda, I'll fetch the documents in a moment."
"Thank you."
Dera went to Nanda's room to get the documents that Nanda meant earlier. A few minutes after Dera left the meeting room, Nanda's client came.
"Good afternoon Mr. Nanda! Sorry I'm a bit late, there was a bad traffic jam on the street earlier."
"Afternoon Sir. It's okay, I understand. Please sit down Sir!"
"Thank you. So can we start now?"
"Yes, we can start first while waiting for my secretary to come with some documents."
They started talking about their business deal. Moments later Dera came.
"Excuse me, Sir..."
"Now that's my secretary coming Sir. Just come in Dera! Sit down!"
Dera was so surprised to see the person in front of her now, Nanda's client. She really did not expect that Nanda's client was someone she knew very well.
"You??" Nanda's client widened his eyes when he saw the girl in front of him.
"Mr. Darma..."
"Dera, Mr. Darma, so you two know each other?" Nanda replied.
"So this girl is your secretary?"
"Yes Sir. Is there something between you and my secretary?"
"Ah no Sir. Let's just continue our business talk."
"Um, okay."
The three of them talk about work the same thing is important between the Armandito group and the Darmajaya group . Nanda's company is indeed quite influential in the city, which is why Mr. Darma doesn't want to miss this great opportunity to work together with Nanda to increase the profit of his company.
"All right, we agreed! Everything will go according to the initial plan that we have arranged." Nanda initiates the deal.
"Thank you Sir! Nice to work same with your company. Moreover, this company is running under the leadership of a competent young CEO like you, Mr. Nanda."
"Ah Mr. Darma is exaggerating. You must be more experienced than me."
When Dera left the meeting room and left Nanda alone with Mr. Darma there, Mr. Darma mentioned Dera.
"Um Mr. Nanda, since when did your secretary work with you?"
"Ohh Dera, it's been quite a while, maybe almost a year."
"As far as I know, the girl is only a high school graduate and hasn't taken any higher education. You should be able to get a much better secretary than her."
"Mr. Darma, I think Dera is quite competent. So far she has even helped me a lot so that I can get a number of big projects. Even though she only graduated from high school, there is no need to doubt her ability."
"My advice, you have to be more careful with that girl!"
"So what's the matter, Sir? Excuse me, if I may ask, what relationship do you have with my secretary? You seem to know her very well?"
"No Sir, I just know. All I know is that a lower-middle class girl like her could take advantage of her position. Don't let her seduce you and give her everything!"
Nanda did not believe Mr. Darma's words. All this time, it wasn't Dera who seduced or teased him, but rather Nanda, who often approached Dera and tried to pursue his love until this moment because Nanda was so infatuated with Dera without Dera needing to tease him at all.
"Sorry Sir, it seems our conversation has gone nowhere. We'd better end it. One more thing Sir, I hope you don't bad-mouth my secretary in front of me again because I don't like it. Dera is my secretary, it's Dera's business with me not with you."
"Okay, Mr. Nanda, I'm sorry!"
Nanda couldn't stand hearing someone badmouth the girl he loved so much.

•••

Nanda approached Dera who was seen wiping away her tears. Now there are only the two of them in the backyard garden of the office.
"Dera..."
"Erm Mr. Nanda, what's wrong Sir? Do you need something?"
"No Dera. I just need your answer now."
"Answers? You mean Mr. Nanda?"
"What makes you sad now?"
"Sir, I'm okay."
" Please Dera, this time I'm asking not as your boss, but as your friend. Now you can tell me anything."
"..."
"Dera, I saw you talking alone with Mr. Darma. What were you talking about? Did he make you sad?"
"..."
"Did you not hear my question Dera?"
"Listen Sir."
"Then why don't you answer?"
"I don't think it's important for Mr. Nanda. So I don't have to answer all of that."
"Who is Mr. Darma? What relationship do you have with him? Answer me, Dera!!" Nanda slightly raised his tone, he was now holding Dera's hand.
"Okay, if Mr. Nanda wants to know, Mr. Darma is Al's father, my boyfriend."
"And he doesn't approve of your relationship with his son?"
"Yes, Mr. Nanda's guess was right."
"That's why he doesn't like you, he even badmouthed you in front of me."
"I don't know what Mr. Darma said to you, but if that makes Mr. Nanda distracted and makes your work If that's a mess, I'd better step down, I won't get involved in your agreement with Mr. Darma. Even if Mr. Nanda wants to fire me, I'm willing Sir."
"Hey, what are you talking about? Who wants to fire you?"
"..."
"Dera, what is the reason Mr. Darma doesn't like you going out with Al?"
"Why did Mr. Nanda ask something that was already clear enough? Me and Al, our social status is different."
"Just because of that?"
"Yes. For Mr. Darma it is important."
"Then why are you sticking around with Al? You'll only get sicker because of how his family treats you."
"I and Al still love each other Sir."
"To be honest, I don't like to see you sad. I don't like to hear that someone is badmouthing my secretary like that."
"..."
"I know it's not my right because this is your business and your boyfriend's family. But because he has made my secretary sad, I will teach him a lesson. I can destroy the Darmajaya group with just one snap of my finger."
