Good news arrived. The café where Senja worked had been selected to receive business support and development assistance. Senja and the café owner were invited to the company to sign a partnership agreement. Senja was overjoyed, yet anxious at the same time. She went to the grand building with mixed feelings.
When she was ushered into the CEO's office, her steps suddenly came to a halt. Behind a beautiful, expansive desk sat someone she had always known as the simple young man who came to her café every afternoon. The man was now dressed neatly, with a commanding presence, sitting calmly in his executive chair and looking at her with the same gentle gaze as always.
Senja stood frozen. For a moment, it was as if the world had stopped turning before her. The simple man she knew was actually Dirgantara, the owner of the business empire whose name was known throughout the city.
Dirgantara rose slowly and walked toward her with calm, measured steps. "I'm sorry, Senja. I never meant to deceive you. I just wanted you to get to know me first as myself, not for what I own."
