A Waiting (Letting Off Single)

Trapped in the Elevator

That morning Rasya stopped his car in his company's parking lot just as Fandi's car driving Dira also stopped.

"Yes" called Fandi when they got out of the car.

Actually Rasya was reluctant to approach, but because of the call, he was forced to approach the two of them.

"Will be busy tonight? We gather yuk in Alvin's cafe," Fandi asked Rasya.

Rasya seemed to think for a moment. "Okay, straight to where ya are. You know Alvin's cafe?"

"Udah knows. Don't forget to bring your partner." Fandi patted Rasya on the shoulder for a moment and then got back in the car.

"OK," answered Rasya. A pair? Obviously he doesn't have a partner but to overcome this situation it seems like he needs Nana's help. He could not have come without a partner especially if he had to see Dira together with the others.

Rasya and Dira walk both into the office. They're very awkward. Dira deliberately slowed his footsteps so that Rasya could precede him.

They entered the elevator to go to the 5th floor. It still remained in each other's composure, even though inside the elevator there were only the two of them. Suddenly the elevator shook and stopped suddenly.

"This why?" Rasya pressed the button many times to have the elevator door open. But it turned out to be futile. The elevator stops between the third and fourth floors. "Damn!! The technician should have been here yesterday." Rasya picks up his cell phone and immediately calls Doni.

"Don, I'm stuck in the elevator. Hurry up and call the technician!"

After deciding the page, Rasya now turned his body and saw Dira who was standing while hugging his bag. Seen, he was very scared.

"You calm down, we'll be out of here soon."

5 minutes, 10 minutes, Dira finally crouched in the corner of the elevator.

What should Rasya do now to appease Dira? He called Doni, the technician just arrived and started repairs.

He is now crouching near Dira. The small square room was starting to feel hot. It's possible that the oxygen supply has been depleted.

"You don't worry. Soon the elevator doors will open."

Dira just fell silent from earlier with a temple that began to sweat. Why does destiny always make itself together with Rasya.

Suddenly the lights in the elevator went out which made the screams from Dira heard.

"Ra, calm down. There's me." Rasya tried to turn on his cell phone flashlight.

Dira's breathing sounded irregular. "I'm a dark phobia, sir. Especially in a narrow room like this."

"It's no light, Ra. You calm down."

Dira kept staring at the flashlight that was lit from Rasya's phone so that the fear of the dark disappeared.

But again, bad luck befell them. Rasya's phone suddenly went out due to lowbath.

"My battery's out. Just use your phone."

But Dira did not answer, he just tightened his hands hugging the knees of his own feet.

"Ra," Rasya touched Dira's shoulder which made Dira tiptoe. Dira's breathing is sounding increasingly crowded. "Ra, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm afraid of the dark, sir. If it's in a dark room my chest is tight."

"Where are you? Here I get it." I wanted Rasya to grab Dira's bag but when he touched Dira's hand, it was cold. "Ra??" In such a dark state, Rasya could not confirm how Dira was. "Ra, you don't papa, do you?"

"I..."

Instantly Rasya grabbed Dira's body which started to relax. Dira's body trembled with her back that had been soaked by cold sweat. Rasya hugged the body even with an uncontrollable heartbeat. This is all he can do.

"You don't be afraid. There I am here. Sorry, I hugged you..."

While outside the elevator, some Rasya employees seem to panic, because up to 30 minutes the elevator can not be repaired.

"Sir, can you hurry? Mr. Rasya could run out of oxygen inside." Nana panicked while waiting in front of the elevator with Doni.

"Sir Rasya inside equals Dira right? Hp Mr. Rasya is also inactive."

Nana's getting hysterical. "Ouch, Sir. How is this if Mr Rasya to why? There is no news of a pair of bosses and secretaries trapped in an elevator and running out of oxygen. Aaa, they're not a couple."

At once Doni smothered Nana's mouth so as not to be noisy. "Can you shut up!! That technician is really focused. Don't get the wrong cable cut because of your voice!"

Nana bit Doni's hand. "Yes I'm quiet! Don't hold my mouth."

"Aw!! Sadist!! Mister Rasya Ogah deserves you!!"

"Eh, in a precarious situation like this there is no need to bring feelings." Nana was speechless as she walked to the right to the left irregularly.

Doni shook his head at Nana's behavior. Beautiful but minus behavior.

In the elevator, the air was getting stale. Even Dira who was in Rasya's arms was getting short of breath.

A bad shadow flashed again in Rasya's mind. He didn't want it to happen a second time.

Ra, you have to survive.

He said nothing more so that the oxygen would not decrease.

Moments later, the elevator lights up and the elevator goes up.

Rasya looked at Dira's extremely pale face. "Ra?" There is no word from Dira.

Just when the elevator door opened Rasya immediately lifted Dira's body out of the elevator.

"Sir, Dira why? Need to call a doctor?"

Rasya walks quickly towards his room and lowers him on the sofa of his office room.

"Yes, get a doctor now! Afraid of her saturation going down, she just asphyxiated."

Doni rushes to call the Doctor who works at the clinic next door.

"Na, get me the p3k box," Rasya told Nana who had been following them.

"Yes, sir."

Nana immediately picked up the p3k box that was near her boss's room. But as he turned around and walked over, he watched the scene with a different side of Rasya.

Rasya held Dira's head and gently rubbed her hair. Has the polar ice melted? Does Rasya also want to be a player?

Nana puts the p3k box hard enough to make Rasya now look at Nana.

"Do I need to faint first to be noticed Mr. Rasya like that?!"

"Na, it's not time to play a drama" Rasya said as he grabbed eucalyptus oil and smeared on Dira's temple.

Doni who heard that laughed. "Na, it's not time for drama." Doni mimicked Rasya's words and then he ran out of Rasya's room because he would get an attack from Nana.

Rasya did not criticize their behavior, he stepped on Dira's temple plan while asking the Doctor to come.

Dira started to open his eyes. The first thing he saw was Rasia. Instantly he woke up from Rasya's lap. His heart beats faster. It was as if he was going to faint a second time...
