"Daddy, Bro Esha," said Lavanya.
"Lavanya. You're finally home. Where have you been, kid?" her Father asked.
"Where have you been, dear? Brother has been blaming Daddy for a long time."
"That's it, that's it. Daddy and Brother Esha don't need to fight. The lava is fine. The Lavanya is fine."
This time Lavanya looked completely different. You can clearly see the beautiful smile on her lips. Created very easily and perfectly.
"Then why are you smiling to yourself? What's wrong?" her Father asked again.
"No. I don't know why. Isn't it okay if I smile?"
"But your smile is different this time. What's the matter? Tell me about your Father."
"No, Dad. There's nothing wrong with the Lavanya. Oh well, I'm going to my room first. I want to change. My clothes are a little wet. Bye Dad, bye Brother. Good night."
Lavanya went straight to her room without answering her Father's question. Because actually Lavanya herself didn't know why she was like that today. And her Father couldn't help but smile because he saw his favorite daughter look very happy today.
*******
"Good morning, Mrs."
"Welcome Mrs."
Such are the greetings given by the employees who work at Lavanya's Father's company. Lavanya is highly respected by everyone there. How come? Lavanya is the daughter of the owner of the company. But all that did not make Lavanya arrogant and arrogant. Lavanya always answers their greetings with a smile.
"Good morning everyone," Lavanya replied with a smile.
Then Lavanya went straight into her room. Previously she met her best friend. Dhira. Lavanya who saw Dhira's presence immediately approached her.
"Dhira," said Lavanya.
"Lavanya. It's just this early in the morning. Eh, wait a minute. I think there's something different about you. You seem really happy. What's wrong?"
"Why does everyone say something like that. I'm just used to it. It's okay."
"But I swear. You're really different. Your smile is different than usual. Why? What's wrong? What or who has made you so happy like this?"
"What is it Dhira. Nothing. Well then, I want to go into the room first, okay. I want to prepare the files for the meeting outside later."
"Okay, ready Boss."
Lavanya entered her room. Lavanya and Dhira have been friends since high school. Lavanya already considers Dhira as her own Sister. So far, Lavanya has always shared happy and sad stories with Dhira. And Dhira also wants to be a good listener for Lavanya.
Unfortunately Dhira's life is not as good as Lavanya's. Dhira has been married and has one son who is now 5 years old. But the marriage failed. Dhira chose to separate from her husband because her husband always played with Dhira. Dhira's husband also never provided for herself and her child.
Dhira was also able to work there because of Lavanya's help. If not, it will definitely be difficult for Dhira to get a high enough job position in a very large company. Considering Dhira only graduated from high school. Dhira did not go to college because she chose to marry a man who had hurt her.
After preparing all the files for the meeting, Lavanya immediately went to the place. Because this meeting will be held outside the Office. Lavanya also has to attend the meeting this time alone. Because her Father and Brother Esha were attending a meeting in different places.
"Where is it? It's true that the Restaurant is here," thought Lavanya as she looked around the Restaurant looking for clients who would meet her.
Lavanya gets out of her car. Lavanya just got out of the car, suddenly Lavanya's bag was forcibly taken by a man with a scary appearance and using a motorbike. Lavanya immediately shouted for help. Lavanya wants to go after him but it is impossible. Because that person uses a motorcycle.
"Eh, pickpocket... Please..."
A man who was riding a motorcycle immediately chased the thief. After successfully chasing him, the man immediately beat the thief and took back Lavanya's bag.
"Forgive Sir, pardon," said the thief.
"Get out of here and don't ever take someone else's bag like that."
"I... Yes Sir, yes."
Fortunately, the thief was allowed to go free and the problem was not extended to legal action. After that, Lavanya's bag was returned.
"You?" the person said as if he recognized Lavanya.
"You? You helped me last night, right?"
"Yeah, that's right. Why do you always go out alone? You're a woman. You've been nearly hurt twice already."
"I... Yes. I have a meeting here. That's why I had to come here."
"Tomorrow, you ask to accompany your employees to be safer."
"Yeah. Thanks for the advice. Oh yeah, I'm Lavanya."
"Arzan."
"And this is my business card. You've already helped me twice. So, if you need anything, you can call me right away."
Arzan just smiled at Lavanya's words just now.
"Why smile?"
"You're funny. You said if I had something wrong, I could call you right away? You can't just take care of yourself, you can't."
"Ihhh... It's really annoying. It's okay if you don't want to it's okay."
"Who said I don't want to. Here. And here are your hands."
"What for?"
"Just come here."
Lavanya hesitantly gives her right hand to Arzan. Arzan turned her palm. It turns out that Arzan wrote his phone number on Lavanya's palm.
"Oh my God. I thought what are you going to do. Even though you can type it directly on my cellphone," said Lavanya.
"This is different from the others. Well then you hurry inside. I will take care of it from here."
"Yes. Again, thank you very much."
"You're welcome."
Lavanya entered the Restaurant while being watched by Arzan from a distance. Arzan just wanted to make sure that Lavanya entered the Restaurant safely. Lavanya glanced behind his. And Arzan was really watching her. Lavanya gave a smile to Arzan which Arzan replied with a smile too. Over time Lavanya was no longer visible. After that Arzan decided to leave the place.
"Why is that woman so adorable?" Arzan thought while looking down.
Inside the Restaurant, Lavanya does the same thing. She looked at her palms. Where in the palm of her hand is Arzan's phone number.
"Why do I feel happy like this every time I meet him? His simplicity makes me feel comfortable when I'm around him. Moreover, he is the one who always helps me in the near future," Lavanya thought with a smile.
